There is 10 change in the aspect in Vir-
,;nia from last adsices. The formal re-
sponse Of the Mayor Of Fredericksburg to
the demand Of Gen. Sumner, we give in
smother column. The country Will jeal-
ously watch every day spent in waiting for !
1he citizens Of Fredericksburg to decide i
what to do. Tie whereabouts Of Stonewall !
jackson seems uncertain, but he will find |
no one of our generals mapping. As to |
where he is, accounts appear to vary, and

we arc entertained With d bit
Of refreshing correspondence in Which
JEFF. again and aga1n calls on
Etoncyal to come in out of the Shenan-
doab, Which the latter nil1 not do at last
accounts.
Tic news from The capital is varied and
Interesting. TIE President has told John
Van Bs1ren that he will stand by his pro-
c1a1rasio!,. Tie Fitz John Porter trial
does not go forward, and indeed pr om1ses
to fade out altogether. Old Buck Sill
returns to his letter writing, aud creates

his friend Floyd stole any arms
The news from Cairo aud below IS III

factory comes from Gen. Grants army, but
matters arc progressing. We hare abudget
of correspondence from this quarter, given
in another part of this issue. From the
South, BY rebel sources, come various mi
nor items. The raid Of Bragg is being
scathingly reviewed at Charleston. Tie
war in Arkansas promises something ex
citing soon.
The Convention of Western Editors and
Newspaper Publishers at Indianapolis yes
ftr6ay, had under discussion matters o.
mutual interest to tie fraternity and the
public, for what concerns the one cannot
but affect the other. The very existence
of the press as q selfEustaining institution
depends upon an advance corresponding
to the cost Of publication, in which preyi
ous s.ran profits we're swamped. Further
the Convention made arrangement
to meet more completely the IL
tercsls of tic Western Press by q
association based on the plan {
