dericksburg.[from our own correspondent.] Fredericksburg, Va., March 17, 1863. Fredericksburg has again uttered her denial to the insolent foe of allegiance to the United States. Hooker is sent to seize her, after Burnside's brief, brutal, and inglorious three days occupation, and appoint officials to administer her government. But to-day, at the legally appointed period designated by her charter, her citizens have chosen her municipal officers for the ensuing year. Protected by Barksdale's Brigade, under the very guns of the Yankees, this election was conducted with unusual quiet and order M. Slaughter, Esq., who for several terms, and especially during the war; has discharged the onerous and important outles of the office with honor and credit to the community and himself, was re-elected Mayor; W. A. Little, Recorder; and L. J. Huffman H. B. Hall. Geo. W. Eve, Dr. J. G. Wallace, John F. Scott. J. G. Hurkarf, D. H. Gordon, Jno. M. Herudon. Jno. A. English, and James McGair

and we all expected to be aroused next morning by the thunder of the Yankees' gads and the bursting of their hideous shalls over our heads. The booming of cannon was plainly heard here all that day, and there was but one common wish expressed by our people, that the attack might be made at once, and let the Second battle of Fredericksburg go down to history by the same pes which records the second carnage of Manassas — the restless eagerness to meet the enemy which sparkled in the eyes of Barksdale's brave Mississippi boys, who now hold the town, the cheerful with which both officers and men received the summons to prepare for movement, the consciousness of success which discipline and courage always bring to men whole cause is just, all inspired the hope and fired the resolution to achieve such a victory over Hooker and his myrmidons as would startle the vandal tyrant in his seat of power, and engrave indelibly the word departed upon all his hopes of subjugation here.

From Fredericksburg.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Fredericksburg, April 18, 1863. Many thanks to Hon. Mr. Barksdale, of Miss., for his admirable speech, published in the Enquirer, of the 16th. He demonstrates that the law and the highest justice requires the Confederacy to pay for cotton destroyed to prevent its falling into the enemy's hands. A fort, the property destroyed and injured to protect, preserve, and support the army, should be promptly paid for. Hers, in many cases, the only shelter of the widow, or the absent soldier, has been necessarily destroyed or injured in the service of the Confederacy. No true man is willing that another shall excel him in bearing the burden and paying the price of freedom from Yankee oppression. He gives twice who gives quickly, and he only is truly honest and honorable who pays promptly. Generous is an old name for a gentlemen, and we boast our distinction from our foes, that this is a Confederacy of gentlemen. Frede
