If were a mechanic, would apply myself

his work done by a certain time, would try

\ MONSTER BABY.-Thc Grccnville Tenn)
Bonuer gives the following account of a baby
/ in that vicinity.
1t is only Is months old the Goth instant,
and weighs about 20 pounds. 1t is female,
has well balanced round head covered with
beautiful black hair, its eyes arc grey, keen,
and intelligent. 1t is very sprightly, full of
plav and mischief. 1t measures three inches
larger around the waist than its mother and
weighs twice as much rs its brother who is
three years old. Its flesh is soft as silk, and
from the over amount of fat, you can scarcely
feel bone about it. The flesh runs in rolls
even around the fingers. 1t is worth going to
see.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 24.-Fredericksburg
was still occupied by the rebels on
Friday. After an interview with the
civil authorities, Gen. Sumner informed
them if they had any further communi
cations to present, Gen. Patrick would
meet them next morning. On Saturday
the Mayor and Councils came over, ac-
companied by three Confederate officers,
who claimed that the civil authorities
could make no proposition unless ac-
cepted by them. The civil authorities
asked extension of time for the removal
of the women and children. Their re-
quest was granted, and the time extended
until IL o'clock yesterday morning.
President Lincoln had an interview
withthe unconditional Observation-Disclosures;
discussed at length the question of eman-

Later Richmond papers say a hundred

HEADQUARTERS ARMY,

NEAR FREDERICKSBURG, VA, Nov. 22(
Last night was a busy time in Fred
ericksburg's remaining inhabitants. The
military authorities were also not idle.
At daylight this morning, they viewed
line of earthworks TO the rear and right
Of the town, the result of the nights
labors.
The artillery is now being placed in
the most formidable position, while the
encampments, which are in range Of the
encmy's guns, are being removed further
back from the river. There are very APP
parently strong reasons for not opening
upon the city to-day unless forced to do
so by the enemy. The rebels have just
fred few shots, but no response has
been made.
PHILADELrHIA, Nov. 22.-The Balti-
more Amaic7R's Harper's Ferry letter of
yesterday says it is rumored that Jack
son is still near Winchester, with 1900
men. The general impression is, that he
is retiring towards Gordonsville. All is
quiet along tho line,
Gen. Gcary is sending daily reconnois-
ance to observe the movements Of the
enemy.
The main track of the Baltimore and
/ Ohio Railroad is torn mp for % miles, the
rails rendered useless by heating, and
the ties all burned, On an average
there are only 5Oruls per mile ft for re-
+ laying.

From the Tennessaa River.

A gentleman, direct from Fort Henry,
informs MS that, at the time he left, Col.
Lowe had no official information of his
appointment as Brigadier- General, and
knew not how n report to that effect got
into the papers, as no move or effort, TO
his knowledge, had been made in that
direction.
The river was still too low for any but
very light boats, with light loads, as far
up as the mouth Of Sandy, which is four
miles above Fort Henry. An empty
steamer of the smallest size cannot pass
the distractions at and near Duck River
Suck. The distractions are of two kinds
one consists Of bars and chains OF rocks,
the other of Nappier's regiment of guer-
rillas, with some artillery, located so as
to command the river at the INSTRUCTED
point The artillery were taken off the
boats burnt at this point early last sum-
mer, by these same rebels. A rise of
water, and Col. loves military opera
tions, will probably relieve the enemy of
both between this and Christmas. Our
informant has been among the people of
that region considerably, and talked
with them freely, and finds them sick of
the war and anxious for peace, or tru ce
or any arrangement that will stop the
fighting even for time, and he finds
that they are determined to plant cotton
and tobacco next year as largely as pos
sible. This year they were deferred
from planting more than small patches,
not the tenth part of the usual crops
