Contributions for Fredericksburg.

Among the contributions to the unfortunate of Fredericksburg, which were unavoidably omitted yesterday, we give now the following: Citizens of Lexington, Va., $1,103.60; citizens of Hynesburg, Va., $1,000; 17th Mississippi regiment, $631, 13th Virginia cavalry, $1, 39060; officers of the Confederate States in Richmond, sixty dollars.--A Colenci in the army gave $500, and that sum was immediately doubled by a gentleman who has already given liberally and who made it $1,000. We are also informed that two young ladies of Staunton have collected the creditable sum of $350 for the same purpose. The whole of this amount has been contributed by the citizens of Staunton, and they are endeavoring to raise the sum to $1,000 by the contributions of the citizens of the county surrounding.
