Fredericksburg.

--This patriotic town is doing everything possible towards the defence of the State. There are three well organized and efficient companies in the place, and more forming. Capt. Sener's company of Infantry has been sent to the Potomac river. The Recorder, of Tuesday, says.

‘ On Sunday morning, Lieut. Col. Dorsey arrived here in the train from the creek, and reported that he had safely brought the George Page from Alexandria, under the guns of Fort Washington, and that she was then lying at the creek, and requested Maj. Barton to send an officer with a detail of ten men to hold her, which was promptly done. The detachment which went over likewise seized and detained a Yankee vessel from "away down in Maine."

On Saturday night, Lieut. Braxton, of the Artillery, was detailed for the purpose of proceeding in steamship Eureka down the river and capturing one or more vessels which were lying in the stream between this and Port Royal. This service was promptly performed, and the vessels brought up yesterday morning just before day.
