RICHMOND, November %, 1862.
Ffodorichsburg has gone under a cloud. We
bear nothing farther from that quarter upOr
which We can rely. The enemy has not re
hFOwa a sell into the town. Indeed, most of ths
batteries have bOsn removed from the Stafford
hills and the bombardment has been indefinitely
postponed These facts alone seemed 10 b
clearly revealed through the curtains Of GOubI
and uncertainty that hang over the region Of
the RAPpshsnnock. OF the movement Of The
AbOlitiOnisa We have only unsatisfactory ru.
mor. According to one account, the whole
bulk of Burnside's army had gone down the
river threatening to cross at Port Royal
Another statement is that a considerable fcrea
has been sent to fsrS the river above Falmouth
and make an advance upon Fredericksburg
from the west. Whatever they may do, We are
Rsdy to meet them, and dispute inch By inch
that march to Richmond which was to have
been so easily and eXpeditiously made.
It is great fun 10 read the war correspondence of
the New York and Philadelphia papers, and re.
mark the confident prophecies Of both the letter
writers and the editors that Burnside will have
the Confederate capital in ten days or less. For
gstful altogether Of the hrst battle Of Manassas,
Of As Seven Pines and Chickahominy, they as
sumo with a delightful oonfdezes that Rich
mond is at last to fall into their hands without
further delay. Perhaps the ladies Of Boston
have sent another flag to feat ever the capitol
building, perhaps the dinner has already been
ordered Of DslmOniee to celebrate the triumphal
entry. When Gen. Patrick came oves to Fred
erieksburg the other day under a flag Of truce
20 bring Summers demand for the surrender of
the tswn, he betrayed the utmeEt astORishmsAt
ct being told Ae must visit Sen. Lees head
quarters. That Ger. Lee wosld be anywhere
in the neighborhosd Of Fredericksburg td not
appear b have entered into the calculations Of
the AbclitioAists. This did not salt their views
At al. Possibly they may be yet more amazed
to learn in a day or two that the ubiquitous and
u~naeeountable jackson is alse rot far Of CBy
the way, let me hang up just here in brackets,
a little story ct BtoneWsll in the valley that
oaght not to be lost. A Yankee brigadisr, ex-
e~essiYely Pompous and esneeitsd, formed mach
after the mSdel of the lamentsd JShn Pope of
sOrrswfal memSry, was ~gaSeonsding in the
of a worthy Virginia masron, living
not fS from NsrtiASburg, Of his own military
BroWess, aAd was bitterly ~satirieal on Jaekson's
appearance. He said that in sHs of
the battles in the valley he had been thrown

There is g report that the enemy's force has
,oen greatly strengthened at Suffolk and now
to some sixty thousand men. Your
correspondent has always believed that the seri-
Ius attempt upon Richmond would be made
rom this quarter, bat the recent operations in
inspire some doubt whether The fsint
viii not come from Suffolk and the grand coup
.om Port Royal. A few days will fully develop
he enenay's real plans.
The Exchange Hotel was not bought for
he government, as 1 had besn given to un-
erstand, but for the White Sulphur Springs
ompany, and will be seen opened en- their
ccount as a rival to Ballad. This CON-
any has in town all the furniture belong
e to their watering Plses in Greenbrisr
1uhty, Va, which was renewed last year upon
10 advance Of Rosecrsns and Cox, and the
Otel can thus be rehtted thoroughly in q very
lsrt time. A first rate house Is truly a desid-
'atam jaSt now in Richmond, and there can
) little doubt that the Exchange, under the
eW management, if properly kept, viii do a
rye business.
