Our soldiers in Fredericksburg.

--The Richmond soldiery stationed in the vicinity of the town above named, seem to have completely ingratiated themselves in the good opinion of those by whom they are surrounded. As our citizens know, the Blues and company F have been stationed there for some weeks. The editor of the News, who has been on a visit to ‘"Camp Mercer,"’ says that the superior efficiency and ability of the commanders is only equalled by the accuracy, skill and discipline of the troops. The dexterity and celerity of their manŒuvres, the solid phalanx of their shoulder-to-shoulder march, the exact movement and time displayed in their rapid charge, and the precision and beauty of their wonderful Zouave drill, are astonishing as well as attractive to civilians, and shows for itself the merit and value of both officers and men.--Companies F and E will be ‘"in at the death"’ of the Black Republican dynasty.
