MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
The only incident ; of note from the new scene
of warlike operations yesterday was a visit from
Gen. Patvick, one of the abolition commanders,
with sealed despatches to the officer now com
manding our forces at Fredericksburg. The
purport of these &watches is supposed to be a
demand for the surrender of the city—a demand
which, of course, will, not be granted. The
result of the matter, whatever it may be, had
net transpired up to the time of , the departure
of the train for Bichniond at half t , two
o'clock. No, telegraphie conaninnication was
received from Fredericksburg during the day,:
after 9A. N., whatever. It, is prommed that
the :removal of the office is one among the
preparations for an attack; all of whickare now
said to have been consummated,
Since the above wee written, we have received
telegrapbleinformation from Fredericksbmg.
The perport of the despatches referred to •was,
as surmised, a peremptoky 'demand for the stir
reoder of the toini.• ' The demand was as per
emptorily refused by General Lee, who is in
command of our troops. TThe alternative offered
in the Yankee order was that the town would
be shelled at nine o'olock.this (Saturday) morn
ing. This fate the city prepared to meet.
The Fredericksburg /Ana of Friday evening
,On Tuesday and Wednemlay the Potomac
river was covered with vessels of all sixes and
kinds, mainly of the transport order. That
tliese were intended to Garry off the army is the
opinion entertained by many. Enough of the'
&Amy will be left Over the river though to keep
"bp appearances." ' We shall not be surprised
if* Saturday night the main bulk Of .fitim
side's force Is well on its way to their new des
tination, though of - ccturse this is conjecture to
a great extent.

tdred estimate their numbers at over 100,000,

'At last accounts the enemy had made no as
demonstration in force ator near . Fredericks
b g. It is understood that the city is to be
hld by our forces. Whilst no just muse wi ll
given for shelling the ; own (as the fi ghting
othe ordinal)! PrloolPles of ; civilised warfare
aid be for the fords, and , therefore not in the
mpactly built, part of the town,) yet the im
p ession.ismery , strengir entertained that the
etiemy will actually shell he city, in the hope
that the place will be evacuated, and that thus
the RappahantroCk may be pained by them.
lit is stated that the enemy's batteries are
planted on the hills from , Yalmonth down to
the lower Ferry, on Bray's ferns, a distance of
more than a mile, and threatening each and
-every part of the town.- The hills at no point
.1,13 0 scarcely as much as a quarter of a mile from
tle fast street on the bank of the river, so that
the proximity is intensely interesting.
;Although the enemy is undoubtedly 'in large
force in front of Frederickiburg, there are in
dications third the great battle is not to come
off in that vicinity. The most obvious of
these indications is that the enemy his not
already struck a blow at this point; before any
✓forcements could have possibly arrived.
t
T ere are only two suppositions 'on which this
i
i tion can be accounted for, either that the
raPid movements on our aide have dleconcerted
the plans of Burnside, or that his demonstra-
Ulm at Fredericksburg is really a feint.
We learn that on Tuesday and Wednesday
the Potomac river was covered with vessels of
all sizes and kinds, mainly of the transport
order. That these vessels - were intended to
carry off the army is an opinion' entertained by
many.
It is not improbable that General Ihirnside is
at this lime einbarkinghie armiY at Points
s O
along the Potomse—Aiquide& and Potomac
Creek—for the real point of attack on Rich
mond. The m a in add= for this 'attack Will,
it is supposed, move via Suffolk and ',probably
1 lesser columns from other points.
The Fredericksburg HenUof 'yesterday states:
'" During the afternoon the impression pre
vailed that the enemy were in the
vicinity of Acquia Creek . the Potomac river is
reported as being full of transports."
A large foraging party went down the same
day the river road in Stanford, and will proba
bly continue its depredations into King George.
The train consisted of 175 wagons, and had
With it four, pieces of'attillerjr; twos! infantry
and two cavalry companiel.
Arrivals from Frederickshurg last evening
bring no news of importance.
The Richmond ain did not enter the town
yesterday r but stopped two inilesi on this side.
There had been no firing on =either side since

We have obtained a copy of the order which

General Enclosed you will find a slip from
the Memphis Daily Appeal, of the 3d inst., con
taining an account purporting to be derived
from the Palmyra (Missouri) Courier, a federal
journal, of the murder of ten Confederate citi
zens of Missouri, by order of Gen. McNeil, of
the United-Sla tes army.
You will communicate by flag of truce with
the the federal officer commanding that De

ted. If they be so, you will demand the im
mediate surrender of Gen. McNeil to the
Confederate authorities, and, if this demand is
not complied with, you will inform said com

TIM DEMON OR NORM( CAROLINA.
The recent incursion of the Yankees under
Gen. Foster into the interior of North Carolina,
seems to have found a clear road, and has made
it, painfully apparent that but little has been
done to defend this country. We learn that'
since this event such sense of insecurity has
pervaded the minds of the people of Eastern
North Carolina, that they are now taking mea
spree to remove their families and negroes to
safer localities.
It is much' to be regretted that the govern
ment did not take active steps to secure the
vast surplus of supplies , in North Carolina, now
so closely threatened by the enemy.
• The valley of the Roanoke is said to be equal
to any , corn growing country in the world.
Daring the past summer the government ob
tained as many as BMW hundred thousand
bushehi of coin from the plantations on the
immediate banks of the river, within a distance
of lees than forty miles ; and it is no exaggera
tion to say that more than that quantity, even
to the extent of one million - bushels of corn,
might be obtained therefrom the ensuing win
ter, if that section should be protected from the
inroads of the enemy.
ylt is not proper for us to state.what measures
ar+e non. holing taken to obstruct the Nouse,
Tar or Roanoke rivers. But we may state that
die whole summer was permitted to pass away
without an effort to obstruct these , rivers.—
About three weeks ago a gunboat was coin
mewed on the river beak —the very time that
slie ought to haie been pompleted, if intended
for defence.
In their recent raid into the Eastern portions
of North Carolina the Yankees committed the
most cerrible atrocities ; and it is not to be
woridere l d at that the people, with the terror
struck into their minds by recent events, and
with but little assurance of, protection in the
&tore, are now abandoning their bomes and
flying in dismay. The most fertile districts of
the South are passing from us, one by one, and
the government will have reason to regret the
blind and negligent policy of surrendering those
districts of the country to the enemy, which are
important, not only as , part of its territorial
jurisdiction, but as sources of necessary sup
plies.

MOM W. SIINIEWRII.
It has been frequently asserted and as often
denied, that this gentleman had taken the oath
of allegiance to the- Lincoln• Government, and
the question has been raised in the columns of
this paper. As we have now positive evidence
on the subject we place it on record, that the
citizen concerned may be held at his true esti
mation. rThe Whig annexes •the oath taken by
Summers.]
When our troops captured Putnam Court
House they seized the records of the traitor au
thoritiea whom Pierpont had installed there.
These records have been ,forwarded to the Ex
ecutive Department here, where they now are.
They contain the evidence of the terrible fall
of one who•in former days was honored by Vir
ginia, and aspired to be her governor.
!Po enable bim to practice law in the County
Court of Putnam he: bowed to the Lincoln gov
ernment, and, what is still worse, to the despi
cable usurpation of Plerpont. Afterwards, when
our troops entered Charleston, in Kanawha, he
again took the oath of allegiance to the Con
federate government, and. to the state. of Vir
, Ke has thus sworn both ways, according to the
exigency. How humiliating it is to see so much
talent united to so little principle and manli
nein ; and swayed, it is believed, by an inordi
nate avarice.
There are two others, who have been hereto
fore dignified by election to the Legislature of

mire of disgrace. These are Dr. J. Thompson
and Andrew Parks.

We learn from the Lynchburg Republican
that information has been received through
private sources that;the extensive and valuable
salt Works in Louisiana, on Lafourche river,
were recently captured by the Federal expedi
tion fitted out in New °deans, and command

there, some five hundred in number, after a
stubborn and fierce resistance, were compelled
to surrender to an overpowering force of the
enemy, the odds against them being seven to

THE LATE offiusini 'LE THE EEBEL WiE. DEPARTMENT
, f In the Richmohd Whig of Wednesday ap
peared the following explanatory remarks
respecting the resignation of the late Secretary
of War :
'We see no impropriety in gratifying the nat
ural curiosity of the public so far as to state
that the immediate cause of his resignation as
Sacretar3r , of War,, was the performance of an
act by the President which implied a belief that
that he (Glen. B.) might he influenced by his
personal relations in the discharge of his official
duties. We think that all who know General
Randolph will conclude that he would be no
more swayed by such an _influence than the
most best and conscientious men are liable
to be.
'ln the same paper of Thursday we find the
following modification of the above remarks.
4111I1dL RANDOLPH
:Our attention. has been called to . the fact,
that the brief note in yesterday's Whig, ; 118 to
the cause of General Randolph's resipation,
may be misinterpreted by the inadvertent rea
der, and produce the Impression. that the mat
h* referred to was the appointment of his own
relatives to office by the Secretary. We did
not desire to be so understood, nor was there
the least ground for dfssatisfaction on that
sone. The inference to-be deduced' from the
occurrence to which we referred was. that, in
the President's opinion, the Secretary could
not consider fairly end impartially the' claims
of an applittant for office with whom his rela
tions were unfriendly. That was the explana
tiOn given . no, by gentlemen whom we were
jUstifted in believing to be correctly, informed.
Bat we have reason to believe that the trus
cense of the resignatiOn was of amore general
character ; that the Secretary felt himself so
fettered and hampered in his office as to be
forced to the conclusion that he could to more
useful in some other service: He _therefore re
signed, and reported for duty in the field. This,
we believe, is the true version of the affair.

From their movements, it is difficult to con

Colonel Isaac P. Gray, of the Fourth Indiana
cavalry, took possession of Prestonville, Ken
tricky, about the Ist of November. The town
is the residence of secessionists of the most
malignant character. About a year ago they
tore down the stars and stripes, put up a Con
federate flag in its place, and proclaimed that
the American colors should never float in that
town again.
Colonel Gray immediately issued an order
requiring the citizens of Prestonville to make a
'onion flag with their own hands, put it on the
pole in place of the rebel ensign, and have it
flying by nine o'clock on the morning of the
9th of November The inhabitants waited
upon the Colonel in a body ,entreating him to
excuse them from the disagreeable office. He
was inexorable. They then besought him to
furnish them with a flag for the purpose. His
reply was terse and emphatic
"Never. Yon tore down the American flag,
and by the living God you shall replace it. If
yen do it voluntarily all will be well ; 'but if
not I will drive you into an enclosure together
and compel you to make the flag."
On Saturday morning, the 9th of November,
the stars and stripes were floating over Preston
-
trifle and there was no need of an order like
Cipneral.Dix's to keep the national ensign in
its place.

Frederioksburg Still in Possession of
Humspawns ARMY Or ME POTORAO,
FALMOUTH, VA., Sunday Evening.
The day passed off quietly without anything
worthy of note transpiring. •
The church bells in Fredericksburg were
ringing to-day, announcing the hoar of divine
worship, although most of the inhabitants bad
fled the doomed city.
It is certain, that if the passage of the river
by the Federal troops should be resisted by•• the
rebels, their chimes have been heard for the last
time.
A great many unarmed soldiers were seen
walking through the city to-day, probably for
the purpose of attending church.
During last night the enemy's works were
somewhat extended, but no additional guns
are visible.
FROM NEW YORK.
General WClellan's Letter Declin
ing the Hospitalities of the City.
In the course of Gen. "M'Clellan's letter de
dining the hospitalities of the metropolis, he
says ;
"I 'feel most deeply this action of the munici
pality, which I regard as one of the highest
honors which can be paid a citizen of our coun
try, at this particular moment. It is especially
gratifying to me to be thus assured of the good
feelings and regard of the authorities of our
greatest city. I trust they reflect the sentiments
of their constituents. At any other- time I
would gratefully accept the proffered honor,
but I do not feel that it would be right for me
to do so, while so many of my former comrades
are enduring the privations of war and perhaps
sacrificing their lives for our country."
