HEADQ RS GENERAL SUMNER,
Friday, Nov. %.
The ladies from the North, who were
visiting friends in Fredericksburg, came
over the river yesterday under flag Of
truce. After remaining near headquar
tiers all night under guard, and receiving
full examination of their cases, they
were this morning given passes to Wash
ington. They represent the feeling in
Fredericksburg to be of the most hostile
character The ladies, especially, are
bitter and malignant beyond expression.
Upon the approach of the Federals they
organized meetings and appointed COM
mittees, who were instructed to visit the
rebel Commanding General, and implore
him upon their knees, if necessary, not
to surrender the city They preferred
having their dwellings burD.~ro the
ground to having them again occupied
Northern troops.
The rebel force now opposed to Burn
side is represented to be very large, and
it is said that Gen. Bragg has beyond
doubt united his army with Lee. They
state also that Jackson will remain in
our rear and continue to menace Wash
ington during the winter More en-
trenchments have been brought to light
to-day by the signal corps The number
visible through the best glasses is nearly
fifty Many of them, however, are very
small and protect but one gun.

A Rebel Defeat.

NEwBERN, N c., Nov. 2l.-On Tues
day some 1000 rebels under Gen. Mar
tin attempted to drive in our pickets and
take the city They advanced on the
Trent road from Polocksville, and sue
ceeded in driving the pickets, after a
brief skirmish, a short distance. About
500 rebels marched through the woods
about eight miles to capture two compa-
MES of the 9th Massachusetts and one
company of the oath Massachusetts, sta
toned at Bachelors Creek, on the rail-
road. The rebels got hot reception,
and were defeated, falling back in disor-
der and retreating on the double-quick
The rebels thought to take our force by
surprise, but Col. John Kurtz, of the 23d
Massachusetts, the provost marshal in
command of the post, was prepared at
all points.
Deserters from the rebel army are
quite numerous. Fifteen came in on
the 10th inst.

A Little Scrimmage.

New York, Nov. ga letter from
Suffolk, Va, dated Doth, says: Yester-
day Col Dodge and two battalions of his
mounted Rifles and one howitzer, had
spirited but brief engagement with the
enemy on the Blackwater. The only Sc
rious casualty on our side was the
severely wounding of private Jones, be-
longing to the battery. The enemy's fire
was very heavy, and their force in the
opposite woods and behind the entrench-
ments was strong, but they had no artil-
lery at first, and our grape and cannis-
ter troubled them. They evidently lost
several men, for they fought under cover
and had dense forest in their rear
After we had left, four or five miles on
our return, we could hear the firing of a
battery which they had probably brought
down from livery, where they have a
heavy force stationed.
