nock by the enemy. There was a report in circulation yesterday to the effect that the enemy, in considerable force of cavalry and artillery, have crossed the Upper Rappahannock at Kelley's Ford, in Culpeper county. The presumption is that they contemplate an advance upon Cordonsville. Kelley's Ford is some dutiness from Fredericksburg and much farther from Richmond than the latter point, so that this movement cannot be regarded as an advance of the grand army. It may be, however, that Hooker has concluded to try another route for his "on to Richmond" move, and to avoid the Confederate batteries at Fredericksburg, has moved his forces to the Upper Rappahannock in the hope of fewer obstacles in the passage of that stream. Passengers by the Central train last evening state that the same report was current at Cordonsville yesterday. Another rumor reached the city last night that Gen. Stuart had encountered the enemy in Fauquier county on Monday, and that their force being supe

Later from the North. Through the courtesy of Captain Philip Cash mayor we have received the New York Herald of Saturday last, the 14th inst. We make up a summary of the news it contains. In its "situation" article the Herald has the following: There are symptoms of a coming movement in Gen. Hooker's army. The transportation resources are bring cut down, and officers have been notified that all super baggage must be sent home.--The officers of the line are to be allowed nothing in the shape of camp equipage except shelter tents, which they can carry on their backs.

From Fredericksburg.[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. Protecte Councilmen. The Mayor was serenaded at night by the admirable Band of the 13th Mississippi regiment, whose leader is Prof. T. D. Nutting, who performed several beautiful airs and were thanked by the Mayor both as soldiers and musicians. Gen. Hooker can get a serenade or reveille whenever he chooses from several bands of Mississippians and others here, who will let him hear the music of their rifles and the roar of their artillery as soon or late as he is ready for the racket. In thi
