h side of the Rappahannock, gives the following gossip: You are already aware that flags of truce are being sent to and received from the rebel commanders at Fredericksburg. Yesterday we were honored by a visit from General Kershaw and Col Bland, of the rebel army, on behalf of the military authorities, and Mayor Slaughter, to represent the civic portion of Fredericksburg. The nature of the meeting that took place it is not desirable to make public; but it is sufficient to say that ther no firing on either side. The usual conversations have ceased, and more serious feeling has taken the place of the excitement and curiosity of the first day. This morning, at an early hour, two of the rebel soldiers, under the command of Col. Bland, of the Seventh South Carolinas regiment, deserted the ranks, and, crossing the Rappahannock, gave themselves up to our pickets. They are large, fine looking men, and claim to be brothers, although their appearance would contradict the fact.
