FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
Passengers by the fredericksburg train, yesterday
afternoon stated that the citizens of that i'll ated
borough are still exercised because Of reports that
there is heavy Yankee cavalry force on the north
side of the Rappahannock, somewhere between AL
exandria and Dumfries. Reliable persons with tele
scopie eyes estimate their strength at ,OOOoth-
ers think that there are only 5000 Of thcm-and
not few people from the Stafford side arc incredu-
lous enough TO believe that the force referred to
might be appropriately numbered by hundreds, and
their sum 3toal expressed by the use Of very few
soures. Ifthey purpose aforward movement, they
have been wofully slow SO far.

THE EDIsTO BRIDGE
| The Columbia Guardian Of the 10th says that
| gentleman hmiliar with the region suggests thai
theSc is,-probably, some error in the statement
that the railroad bridge the Edisto has beer
burned by our people. He sees no good reason
why should thus facilitate the operations of tn,
enemy. lie thinks, on the contrary, that the bridge
burned by eur troops, across the Edisto, is Can
mons Bridge which is four miles on the east O
