The passengers by the cars from Fredericksburg this morning report that Gen. Patrick (Federal) came over under a flag of truce, demanding the surrender of the town, which was refused by Gen. Lee, in compliance with the unanimous sentiments of the people. Gen. Patrick, it is stated, said if it were not surrendered by 9 A. M. tGen. Patrick, it is stated, said if it were not surrendered by 9 A. M. to-day, it would be shelled. Mr. Dargan, M. C., writes to the President from Mobile that the inhabitants of that city are in an awful condition.

The judge advised me to follow it up, which I did; and stayed until the adjutant did present it again to Gen. Ord, who again approved it. Then the polite aid accompanied me to Gen. Patrick's office and introduced me to him, and to Lieut.-Col. John Coughlin, Provost Marshal General Department of Virginia, who indorsed on the paper: These papers will be granted when called for. April 17 Bright and clear. I add a few lines to my Diary. It was whispered, yesterday, that President Lincoln had been assassinated! I met Gen.
