From Fredericksburg.

Persons from Fredericksburg TO-DAY say all
IS quiet, and no demonstration on either side.
Impression is that enemy moved bulk of
forces towards Acquia Greek, though pickets
extend to Rappahannock River. Some refu-
gees have returned.
Ihe following is a condensed account of
the correspondence between General Sumner
and the Mayor of Fredericksburg:
Gen. Patrick crossed the river on Friday.
the 21st, under a flag of truce with a commu-
nlcation from Simmer to Mayor Slaughter,
stating that under cover of the honses of the
city shots had been fired upon the troops of
his command that the mills and manufac-
tories were furnishing provisions and mate
rial Tor clothing for armed bodies in rebellion
against the Government of the United States.
This condition of things, he says, must termi-
nate and by direction of Mai. Gen. Burn
side, | demand the surrender of the CITY at
or before B O'Clock p. m. Failing to receive
an affirmative reply, sixteen hours will be
allowed for the removal Of non combatants,
which period having elapsed he will proceed
to shell the town. =.
The Mayor replied that the firing of shots
upon his troops on the Northern suburbs
was an act of the military which the citizens
were not responsible for. In regard to the
other matters of complaint he was authorized
to say that the mills and manufactures will
not furnish any further supplies for the Con-
federate troops; but the military authorities
inform us that while they will not occupy
the town, they will not permit yours to do
so.
Sumner replied that in consideration of
this pledge and ascertaining that the time
allowed for the removal of the women and
children was insufficient, he would not open
upon the town at the hour designated.
The correspondence closed with a note from
Sumner saying that so long as no hostile de-
monstration is made on them the town will
not be shelled.

boat and took the crew as prisoners, consis-

Considerable property has been saved.
We have had various rumors her. for
the last day or two, that the enemy had
made q raid in Onslow County and burnt
the village of Jacksonville, but they all lack
confirmation.
All is quiet at Fredericksburg. 4 repo,t
from Gordonsville says that Burnside seems
to be moving up the Rappahannock.
An accident occurred on the Wilmington
& Manchester Railroad on the 26th, by
which two ladies' were killed and ten other

SAVANNAH, Nov %.

Yesterday morning, betweet7 and s o'clock,
two Federal gunboats and a mortar boat APP
preached the battery at Genesis Point and
opened fire. One of the gunboats came with
In about a mile and a quarter, when the guns
at the fort opened on her. The first Shot
struck her near the water line, and a second
caused her to retreat rapidly. She did not
take time to turn around, but backed down
with all speed. She approached the gun
boat and mortar boat and after a consultation
OF some twenty minutes, the mortar boat
came up towards the battery and threw a
number of shell. Several of the shell struck
the battery, but at the time the last courier
lett, no damage had been sustained. Our
battery was replying slowly, and the men
were IN fine spirits, confident of their ability
to maintain their position. The battery at
Genesis Point is in command of Lieut.. George
W. Anderson, Jr., and we feel confident will
give a good account of itself. Up to two
o'clock, p. ~, occasional firing was heard
before We go to press We may expect further
particulars.
Since the above was in type, we have con.
versed with a gentleman who was at Genesis
Point during the bomeardment, from whom
we learn that the abolitionists threw about
three hundred shot, and shell at our battery.
Some OF the shells fell within the fort, doing,
however, very little damage. The greater
part Of the. shells exploded high over the
fort. The shot nearly all passed over. The
Yankees fred very rapidly between II and
II o'clock but after that time threw only an
occasional shell. One shell exploded a short
distance above the parrapst, and a fragment
slightly injured one man in his arm. An
other was knocked down, but received no
injury. They retired about half past 8 o'clock.
Our battery is uninjured.-SaUGnnah Nesos.

RETALIATION LEGlsLATIoN.-The Georsia
Legislature appears to be distinguishing itself
by a stringent course of legislation on the
subjects OF this war, especially with respect
to Yankees, foreigners, and residents who
nave refused the protection of the Confeder-
acy. A bill has already passed the Senate,
enactlng that all and every person who has
lett the State OF Georgia for any other place
on this continent beyond the limits of the
Confederate States since the commencement
OF the present war, or who may hereafter
leave during the existence of this war. shall
be forever disfranchised from voting in this
State, and in the event he or they should re-
turn to this State, shall also be liable to nav
annually a tax Of one thousand dollars for
each and every member of his family, inclu-
ding himself, during the period of his resi-
dence.
In the same Senate Act il is provided that
no person now a citizen or resident of the
United States shall be hereafter permitted to
become a citizen of Georgia without first ia
king, in addition to the oath now prescribed
by law, an oath that he will uphold, maintain
and defend the institution of African slavery
intact forever.
The following bill has also passed the Sem
ate OF Georgia, retallatery to Lincoln's aboll.
ton proclamation
A bill to be entitled an Act to add an addi-
tional Section to the Sd Division of the
Penal code.
Whereas, Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United States, has published a proclama-
ton for the purpose of exciting instruction,
revolt and resistance on the part of slaves in
this State, the penalty for which offcnce is.
by the laws fthis State, death. And where.
as, this proclamation is designed to be cnforc-
ed by the citizens of the United States
Sec l. The General Assembly of Georges
DO enact, that from and after the 1st day of
January next, any person, a citizen of the
United States of America, who shall be fouad
within the limits of the State of Georgia.
shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemean-
or, and, on conviction, shall be punished with
