Sumner (search for this): article 1
The delay in sending it to headquarters was such that the Mayor read it at 20 minutes to 5 o'clock. He at once wrote a dignified remonstrance. The summons stated that the town having afforded stores and clothing to the rebels, and the railroad offering facilities to our army, this state of things could no longer be suffered, and unless we surrendered by five o'clock P. M., he would give sixteen hours to remove the aged and infirm, when he should proceed to shell the town. It was signed by Sumner, but stated to be by authority of Burnside. He promised when the town was taken to afford such protection to property and persons as the Government of the United States has now determined on. This is not the precise wording of the promise, but its substance. We regarded it of course as a threat of harsh, rather than a promise of mild treatment. Our reply stated the impossibility of complying with the request, from the short time allowed and from the fact that they fired at the cars our ch

ound Fredericksburg, which, within the past week, has been made the chief theatre of army operations. Early last week it became apparent that the main body of the enemy's forces were in the vicinity of that town, and the fact was developed that Burnside intended a movement from that quarter upon Richmond. It is needless to allude to the movements of our own army consequent upon these developments and imprudent to speak of the preparations made to arrest the threatened advance of the enemy.

vance of the enemy. On Friday a demand was made upon the Mayor for a surrender of the place, and allowing citizen hours for the removal of the women and children. Of this summons the following extract of a private letter from a prominent citizen of Fredericksburg contains fuller information than we have derived from any other source: Fredericksburg, Nov. 22, 1862. You will have learned from passengers the brutal character of the summons we received yesterday. At 11 o'clock Gen. Patrick brought it over and handed it to the military, to be communicated to the Mayor and Council. The delay in sending it to headquarters was such that the Mayor read it at 20 minutes to 5 o'clock.

ce, until 12 o'clock yesterday. The work of removal was at once commenced and rapidly prosecuted, the trains arriving here on Saturday afternoon, being filled with those thus suddenly deprived of their homes. Whilst the train which left Fredericksburg about noon on Saturday was leaving the depot, the agreement entered into was broken by the faithless enemy by firing several shells at it, one of which exploded in close proximity to it. Our latest advices from the town state that up to 1 o'clock yesterday the shelling had not commenced. During yesterday it was alleged on the streets that the enemy were evacuating their position on the Stafford Heights and moving back in the direction of the Potomac, but our inquiries did not satisfy us that such was the fact. There was also a report late in the evening that their gunboats had ascended the Rappahannock as far as Port Royal, in Caroline county, and that they shelled that place yesterday morning, but this also lacks confirmation.

Evacuation of Manassas. An official dispatch was received in this city on Saturday morning, announcing that the enemy had evacuated Manassas Junction, after the destruction of immense quantities of stores and the stone bridge. Large fires were observed in the direction of Bull Run. The divisions of Carl Shutz and Staples, of Seigel's command, passed through Centreville en route to Washington, where, it is supposed, transports swell them.
