Yesterday we were . brcnred fcy a visit from General Kershaw ano O i Bland, of the rebel army, on behalf of tbe j military anthontits, and Mavor Slaughter, to rep' I -ert civic portion of Fredericksburg. The I nature of the meeting that took n is not.) dtfirable to make public; but it is sufficient to j ss? that there ts an evident intention on tbe pa:t j ~r the rebels to prevent na from crossing tbe!

Tne minutes of the preceding ses* • sion were read and approved. Tbe statistical report was read by the Secretary, showing a small increase in the whit*? member | ship and a decrease in the colored. There is| a ! gratifying increase in the collections for the year, and a considerable deciease in tbe Sabbath School *) statistics. Tins has, no doubt, been owing to tbe • condition of tbe country, which has called off otxr | male teachers and yourg men from the B.bie t Classed to the s era dutit s of tbe soldier. This teport on tbe wboie is gratifying and en« ccuibgmg, shewing that the Chuich bdS not only j bten able to maintain her ground, but to make i some progress in her grand mission of converting \ pinners aud saving souls.

The Courier says No pASfPoave.—The attendants from a d stance on tne auction sale *n city yesterday were • considerably exercised in consequence of orders Sdia to have issued from headquarters, forbidding j the giving of passports to leave the ciiy | tber notice. Tbe reasons for this step are be j Sieved to fce.lo uscerta.n how many conscripts , there are who can be brought up to add to the •' 'treugih of the army, and also for tbe purpose of arrc-stlDg those who may attempt to pas-- counter* • feit money.

The Passport Delivery.—The Court of Inquiry • for the investigation of credentials of exemption l commenced business about nine o’clock Thursday morning. The officers appointed to examine ere-* ! dentials were Mayor .Spears, 45th Georgia Regi*. rnent; Caps. Cooper, 40th Georgia; and Capt. : Samuel Lord, Jr., Charleston Battalion.

BENT OUT OF THE STATE The agent of the Southern Express Company, at Macon, gives notice through the Te’egraph tha that Company will not receive for shipment out of the State any shoes, cloth, c! ‘ibing or leather, until further notice. It pursues tfc's course by order of Governor Brown I This may be regirded a- a measure preliminaiy I to the seiz ire of ?b« factories and tanneries by the Governor, according to authority rested in him I by the Legislature. The act of the Legislature authorir.es him to pursue this course in ibe event of the refusal of these establishments to furnish their fabrics for soldiers’ clothing at prescribed prices, viz : Osnaburgs and Shirtings 25 cents cer yard, Woo en Jeans $2,50 per yard, Cotton Yarns $2,50 per bunch, Leather $1 per pound, Shoes, best army pattern, $5 per pair. We presume *tba» the railroad companies have also teen, or will be forbidden by the Governor, to take these articles out of the Slue until ho es« ; feet* the desired arrangement with the manufac* i turus. We have already expressed the opinion.! that a temporizing measure, by ciisferbing the regular operations of business, on which the country depends lor &‘supply of the articles thus ; ! embargoed and probably defined to be seized, will bare the mischievous effect of making them 1 ; scarcer and dearer. Hut we hope tba: the Gov>* ; error may be able to work his policy otherwise. V.

Subsequently tne forces uader .General Wheeler, engaged in occasions ssir* ■ mishes with the enemy's cavalry, and drove them j back towards Nashville. A skirmish also occur- red, on Monday, at Beard's Mills, seven miles South of Lebanon. Very little damage done on i either side, t hough J the cannonading was heard 1 at Murfreesboro’ quite plainly at different times | during the day.
