Rich.moni*, Dec. 8.—Intelligence reached the city on yesterday that skirmishing was going on between our atlvanced post,« and those of the enemy around Fred ericksburg. The nature or location of the ilemonstra- lion did not transpire to us. Parties from Fredericks burg, and 'he official dispatch un'lergtooil to have been received, are about equal in their respective brevity on the suViject —Fn/uirer. Uii'iiMoNu. I)pc. :i.—From an infpllij?ent observer, who has rpcenily visite.l FredcrickHburg, we have some interpstinir accounts of the situation of Ihe enemy, and of fitf-iirs in connection with the military crisis in that ijuarter. The heights on the opposite bank of the river are '•rowiied with tlip enemy’s batteries, and the black muz zles of tiieir cannon nre s.aid to look down into every street in Fredericksburg. Artillery is al>t(j posted at all the fords .\t Port Royal, some twenty-two miles down I hi- river, the enemy have a heavy land battery, and on Sunday last four gunboats were reported to be in that vicinity. It is estimated that not more than three or four hun- lifel persons of the resilient p.ipulation have with drawn to an}’disftuice from Fre.Iericksburg. But many more are crowded in the country immediately around the oily, c-tmping out in the fieldfT, and living on such scanty and firecarioiis subsistence as is at hami The spectacles which meet the eye, as ihe city is approach ed, of this houseless po[iulation, are saiil fo be very t.iuching. N i( more than about thirty families remain wiihitr the limits of the ciiy, who from poverty and other causes, are desperately resolved to 4|l>ide the chances of war —Kzaininer.

From this source we learn that the enemy at Suffolk was reinforce.i last, week by an entire briga.le and a full company of fieM artillery. The number of Federals now at Suffolk and vicinity is es timate.1 at :?0.ii(Mi by theic own men, but we have no doubt thi« is an exaggeration. It is also siate.i-the4 the V.i'ike. s ilown there hint that this force is to move against I’c'er'borg, while the Yankee forces at New bern are to be ipiietly removed for the purpose of opera ting simultaneously against Weldon.
