LETTER FROM FREDHn1Cr1snURG

FREDRRICKsBURG, April %, 1863
EDITORS APPEAL; The extraordinary quiet
which has preceded the mass of armed foes
assembled along the banks of the classic Kappa
hammock, for the past four months, though now
apparently on the eve of a vast outbreak, has
given correspondent no grounds upon which
to rear an intellectual superstruc,ure the base
Co only be surmises, while the fabric would
be supposition. From stant point which I
often take (the summit of the lofty dome of the
Episcopal church peering through shot hole)
the enemy are plainly discernable, and of late
their mighty hosts have been carried through
the formula of drill, and all the necessary prep
arations, doubtless as q prelude to the murder
GUS storm which they declare as their intention
to hurl upon US.
Professor Lowe, the ''aspiring" scout of the
grand army, and the reliable eye witness of
rebel retrOgrades, with his 'Iofty fxins" has
been taking bird's-eye view of us as often as
four times day for several weeks. The extent
Of his discoveries, in his aerial peregrinations,
has never, Of course, been made known to us;
but judging from appearances, aud reasoning
upon the principles Of cause and effect, we may
ssy he has failed thus far in dstermining the ex.
act position we do occupy.
The deep intonations and reverberstions of ar
illery, has on several occasions of late, aroused
in US all the latent enthusiasm of the Southern
mind, causing US to glove our hands for the an
ticipated fray with peculiar relish, as our san
guine tempersments assure US Of victory at any
timo the foe makes his appearance. The enemy
have attempted the passage of the Rsppahan-
mock on two occasions with their cavalry, and
have in each attempt been diseomftted and
compelled to fly before our pursuing hosts
The object of their movements is unknown, only
as considered by them as rsconnoissances,
though on the irst occasion quite sanguinary
struggle snsued in the vicinity of Culpepper
court house. slight skirnaish occurred near
Kelly's ford last week between q body of the
enemys cavalry and portion of stuart's vet
Grams, which resulted in the fight of the former.

their troopers, though we have been unable

Or. Hines.

We made brief mention yesterday Of the sp-
pesraaes in this city of DR.. Hines, the srtful,
plausible, notorious swlndleT and scoundrel,
whose raseslly exploits have been from time TO
time recorded in the public prints of the coun-
try. We learn that his presence in Montgomery
was compulsory one, as he has been arrested
ia Mississippi by the military authorities, and
was being conducted to Richmond, but upon
what charge we are not advised.
DR.. Hines called ct our Office on Wednesday
last and introduced himself as Col. Dorset Ham
ilton, who, over four years ago, happened to
travel on the same boat we did from New Or
leans to Montgomery. We did not suspect his
true character at that time, nor until some two
weeks later when he was published as
swindler in an Augusta paper, and q de-
seTipton Of his person given. A short time
afterward he was arrested in Mississippi
upon some charge of TascElify, and sent to
the Nashville penitentisry for three years.
On the boat from Mobile to Montgomery the
old fellow seemed to be favorite with all the
passengers he became acquainted with. He had
money, and expended it freely In fact, he
seemed to be very rich. Said he had plsnts-
ton on Sansee river in South Carolina, had g
residence in Charleston where he passed the
most Of his winter months with an only child,
daughter thirteen years of age, and that he had
Just been out to his plantation in the West,
where he was obliged TO 60 once 8 year TO look
after his interests.
We might pursue this subject further, bat we
only intended to guard the public against man
who is dangerous. If he is allowed any free.
dom in Richmond, somebody will be swindled
Montgomery Mad.
This same individual spent few days in this
city some weeks ago, passing himself off as DR..
Hamilton, of Missouri, formerly of South Car
olins, and cousin of the late Gen. Hamilton,
of that State. Suspicion attached to him, as be
had just passed the Fedeaal lines with success,
travelling by permission from the highest Fed

the promising crop. AS yet, there is no rust,
and bids fair not 20 be. Some Of our planters
will harvest within three weeks, while the gen
