eception. On Sunday a cavalry skirmish occurred some miles above the town, at a ford on the Rappahannock river, the enemy sustaining a repulse, without any casualties on our side. Yesterday morning they again advanced, and were met by our cavalry near the town, and a second time repulsed. In this fight we had one killed and three wounded. If the force of the enemy is as large as represented our forces there will doubtless be compelled to evacuate the place, unless early assistance should reach them. Col. Ball, of the 15th Virginia cavalry, is in command of the post. Our informant states that when he left Fredericksburg Falmouth (nearly opposite) was in possession of the enemy. The stock of cotton and tobacco stored in Fredericksburg was burned during the day yesterday by our troops. P. S.--Since the above was written we learn, on good authority, that the enemy entered Fredericksburg yesterday with two regiments. A skirmish occurred with our troops, who fell back.

Yankees advancing on Fredericksburg. From a gentleman who left Fredericksburg yesterday we learn that a heavy force of the enemy was advancing on that town, and that preparations were making by our forces there to give them a warm reception.

eposed: On Saturday night about 12 o'clk, I was standing at the corner of 15th and Main sts.; heard a gun fired; started up and met three men coming towards 15th street; one was taller than the others; had on a slouch hat, turned up at the side. I afterwards went to Ann Thomas's, asked her if any fuse was going on; she said no, but that three men came, and when they were going away she heard a pistol fired; asked her if she knew either, said yes--one Tom Hiltzhimer. I went down and saw Lieut. Carter, then came up to the Exchange and heard the details of the shooting. Ann Thomas: I heard the report of a pistol, but was in bed, and did not get up. I knew one of the parties--Mr. Hiltzhimer--having recognized his voice; knew none of the others. They had not got out of the alley before I heard the pistol.--There was no one in the house for an hour or more previous to the visit of these gentlemen. Maggie Clarke: I did not know anything about it at all until the officers came.

In fifteen minutes or more, the guard came, and searched the house and yard. When Mr. Hiltzhimer and party knocked and couldn't get in, they went away. I have no idea who did the shooting. There was a gentleman in the house previous, who left an hour before. Don't know his name. I never saw deceased; never heard Miss Ann say she saw him. No one could get out the back way through the alley; the fence is very high. Dr. L. R. Waring: Was called to see deceased about 12 o'clock Saturday night. Found him lying on bed in No. 218, suffering a good deal of pain.--Examined the body, and found that the ball had entered the back near the spinal column, a little below the right kidney. The ball passed almost directly through the body, and was extracted near the navel. Death was the result of the shooting.--The d
