nessee. [from our own Correspondent.] Dalton, Ga., December 13, 1863. There is no change to report in the situation of affairs in this quarter. The report which has found its way to Atlanta to the effect that the enemy are evacuated Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain, leaving only a small garrison at Chattanooga, is without foundation, as are ninety-nine out of every hundred of the reports taken to the rear by "officers just from the front." Our scents and pickets have not been withiescaped from the lines of the enemy. These parties state that Grant has sent off large bodies of troops to other points, principally towards Knoxville, but they bring no such intelligence as that he has withdrawn his forces from Lookout and Missionary Ridge. The report here alluded to reminds me of another which has been put in circulation outside of the army, to the injury of a very worthy officer. I refer to the statement, said to be circulating generally through the press, that Capt. B

sm were indeed essential, and I have yet to see the first one of them who does not rejoice in his sacrifices, and not one of them to-day can be found who lacks faith in the final triumph of our cause. What a lesson for those of our people who have never suffered! But I promised some facts, and not speculative observations. Well, the town now numbers very nearly two thousand inhabitants, notwithstanding all she has suffered. Her city organization is complete, at the head of which Mayor Slaughter still presides. Her Courts are held regularly, not more than four sessions having been omitted during the war, and on the occasion of my visit a Grand Jury Court was in session, and it was indeed a gratifying spectacle to behold the civil Courts here right on the border in full away in the midst of this dreadful war. The Commonwealth's Attorney, W. T. B. Barton, who has held this position for more than thirty years, made a most able charge to the Grand Jury, alluding in fitting terms t

Letter from Fredericksburg. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Fredericksburg, Dec. 14, 1863. Having been called to this place by business, I will avail myself of the occasion to make up a letter out of material that I am satisfied will interest the general reader. Twelve months ago I was here as the correspondent of another journal, and witnessed the sad scenes attendant upon the evacuation of the town in mid-winter by its then occupying citizens, made up mainly of decrepit men, frail women, and helpless children; and never, while memory serves me, will I forget that long and dismal procession. For the first time in my life, I really feared lest Fredericksburg was a "finished" town. The brutal behest of an ingrate General decreed that the people must leave and the town be destroyed. The citizens of Fredericksburg, great as was the sacrifice, cheerfully made it, and, to their everlasting praise, it will be recorded in history that there were no womanly repining o
