Serious Complications.
RICHMOND, Nov. Is.

The Enquirer, this morning, contains
additional particulars Of the reappear-
ancc Of Yankees at fredericksburg.
The movement appears here more Sc,
rious than was at first supposed.
Sunday morning it was asccrtained
by the commander at Frederick sburg
that strong force If the enemy, from
Warrenton, was approaching by the
road crossing ford some four miles
above Col. Crotcher's lie immediate.
ly posted his little command at that
point, and abour eight o'clock that
morning regimcnt of Yankee cavaI.
ry made their appearance. Brisk Skin,
mishing cnsucd, and the enemy was ii.
nally driven back with q lyss Ct several
killed and twelve prisoners.
Sunday morning Col. Crotcber with
drew his force to town whore it could
work more advantsg"ousIy in coEjunc-
ton with Col. Ball, military command.
ant. Yesterday morning the enemy,
in an evidently increased .orce, appea.
ed with several batteries If h..yl ~r.
tillery above the town, anl "a" ana ..elI
engagement ensued. Daring it's pro.
grcss orders welo given TO destroy al.
the cotton and tobacco in town, which
order was promptly executed, and sev.
cral pyramids Of cotton bales were
sending up smoky incense to the God
of wars above. One thousand boxes
OF tobacco, belonging principally to
spectators, were ruthlessly tumb.od
into the Rapahannock
In the course OF an hour or two the
enemy were repulsed from their new
locality of assault and were followed
up by our cavalry, and lost some ten or
twelve prisoners. During the progress
of tho engagement, which occurred just
outside of the corporation, the people
became resolute in their determination
to stand by the town. Even the wo.
men, in many instances, appeared in
the streets on horseback, armed, and in.
spired with all the enthusiasm Of war.
In the afternoon the enemy again
made their appearance but this time on
the northern side of the river and in
greater force, and further off with guns
superior in range to ours. The engage.
ment continued during the evening
Our loss up to six O'Clock was one kill
cd and two or three slightly wounded.
A portion of the enemy was reported
already in Falmouth on the opposite
sido of the river, and their whole force
supposed to be advancing, and twelve
thousand in number.
The news incliucs tho Enquirer to
tho opinion that either the enemy are
coming upon Richmond from Freder.
icksburg, or are about to be transport.
ed to the Suffolk line Of advance.

Help the Sick Soldier.

1t may not be generally known to
the citizens Of Franklin county, that
the several Divisions Of our army now
cNcamped in our vicinity, have located,
each, Il Hospital in Winchester for the
sick soldiers. All the public buildings
in the place have been surrendered for
hospitals, except MARY Sharp Col
Ioge." Soon as these buildings can be
put into suitable condition, it is the in
tention OF the several Surgeons to re-
move to them the sick soldiers now in
camps, and lying upon their blankets
alone and upon mother Earth. The
work in preparing these buildings, is
now rapidly progressing. But after
they shall have been completed, they
arc yet tar from being suitable places
for the sick to rest and recover. They
must have bedding and edibles. These
provisions must be cooked. They can.
nc4 be cooked without utensils. Then
there must be plates, dishes, &c, to con-
tain them, and knives and forks with
which to eat them. The ladies of Win
chester are all on the alert. cutting,
sewing, &c, for the hospitals. But
they must have help from the ladies of
the country also.
The Central Committee, to aid indi.
gent soldiers, are also doing all they
can to assist in preparing suitable ac-
commodatons for the poor, sick soldier.
But they must, also, look to the sym.
pathizlng and philanthropic citizens of
the country for help. In few days
we will have in our midst one thousand
sick soldiers. They must be properly
cared for, and there is no time to loso.
At a meeting Of tho Central Com
mittec, held this day, in the Court
House, it was resolved that u public
meeting Of the citizens OF the c. unity
be called at the Court House in this
town, on Wednesday next, at II o'clock,
to which all are invited, to unitedly de.
wise means and measures to sustain
these Hospitals. Come all. In the
mean time, bring into town, and dc
posit at Hunts Corner, all the quilts,
comforts, blankets, sheets, pillows, ticks
Comply or filled with feathers that you
can spare. Also, poultry, eggs, and
butter, either as donations or for which
Government will pay fair prices The
bedding will be receiptcd for, and if not
donated, returned when the Hospital is
removed. s a
You will also send in, as donations
or on oan, all the plates, dishes, knives,
forks and spoons, you can possibly
spare These last articles will also be
returned at the closing of the Hospit-
ais.
Let the ladies form. associations, to
collect and deposit as above, these in.
dispensble articles. Let the sub com.
mitteos, in each civil district, appoint.
ed by the Central Committee, 20 at
once to work, in good earnest, and do
all you can The work must be done
and dono at once. We feel confident
that it will be done.

Rosencrans arrived at Nashville on

five divisions now there. Another ab.
oItion division is at Bowling Green;
another at Mitchelsyille, and another

determination to subdue the Southern

legiance to the Union, or be forced
within the rebel lines. He will apply
the same law to women and children.
His IDEA is to throw an immense pop

THE RIGHT VIEw.-Speaking of the recent
orders issued by Gen. Wright, the Contra
Costa Gazette uses the following very proper
language:
''Those who cannot yield a cordial obedience
to all the laws of their own State and the Uni
ted States, should speedily abandon the soil
where these laws prevail. Self.respect for
bids every honorable man to claim or enjoy
the protection and privileges of that Govern
ment whose authority he despises and whose
supremacy he would rejoice to see destroyed.
Similar considerations apply to the conduct
of the press. A constant aim by extracts
from hostile speeches, documents and news
papers, as we'll as by written arguments and
elaborate editorials, to undermine the conf
dence of the people in the authority Of the
government under which they live and still
more, the direct applauding Of measures that
weaken that government and strengthen its
enemies, cannot be tolerated in any loyal
community, in times of insurrection, rebellion
and civil war. We cannot but regret the ne
cessity that dictates these stringent regula-
tions and their practical enforcement, both as
to private citizens and as to the public press
Yet open disloyalists can claim no rightful
exemption from the personal application to
their own case, of just such regulations and
measures as those which we are now consid-
ering. The path of uprightness is the path
of loyalty, and the path of loyalty is. the path
of ease and safety

Emancipation Promised.

As will be seen by an epitome of a late
proclamation, issued by President Lincoln,
published elsewhere, he will soon, by public
edict, and in certain well defined contngen-
cies, declare all the slaves in the United
States to be g forever free" The notion
that Congress would OF will pay for the
negroes thus set at liberty never had any
foundation in it, and we may therefore ex-
pect to see this deelaration made as soon as
th< <fakday of juary arrives: tAfss a war
poy it is one clearly inside of the Presi-
dent ts>-aower to make, and its effect will be
to sweep the institution of slavery from this
distracted land After it is done once there
is no power under our form of Government
to re establish this unfortunate institution
No sort Of compromise or adjustment is COM
petcnt to create a slave in this country, af-
ter he has once been set free. And it will
therefore devolve on the rebels themselves to
say whether it shall forever cease, or not.
The opinion is rather generally entertain
cd that this proclamation should have been
issued a long time ago. for it is a fact as
well known as any other in connection with
this war, that but for this system of slavery
the rebellion would have been crushed out
months ago, and indeed it never could have
had an existence, as one of armed opposi-
ton to the Government. 1t is conceded
point, and one over which the rebels are not
usually boastful, that through the instru-
mality of this system they keep their armies
in the field, construct vast Notifications, and
in short, to carry on defensive war, or any
war whatever, against the United States
Government. Now all of this will rhange
very rapidly, AID they will begin to feel the
power of tRis Government.
