Correspondence Of tse Cincinnati Gazette

- BAIEfaoRE, August 20, P NJ. a.
Our CITY is alive with an sorts Of juniors ridicu,
lous as they-are absurd. The existing state of
affairs, however, at Washington, the menace by the
Confederates against Gen. Mcclellan army, their
evident approach toward it. with frequent kirmish
es at the Soutposts beyond Arlington Hfghts, the
firing heard along the Potomac, westward, and the
frequent reports of cannon below Alexandra, all
tend to give an impression that something serious
may be approaching.
Those weH versed in military science are still of
the OpIEion that Beauregard does not contemplate
a serious attack upOn Washington. The belief is
lis present skTmishIng is feint TO hold the grand
FEDERAL army where il now is under Mcdowell
whilst Johnston with his forces attempts to cross
the Potomac near Leesburg, engage Banks; def,at
him if possible, and march Washington in the
rear. a rumOr Is now circulating that Johnston
had crossed attacked Banks command, was defeat
ed and taken prisoner. 1t is. however, too vague
for credence. The National IHteligsneer and Replb
dean Of to-day both speak if serious contest on
the Virginia side was rapidly approaching. This
Is my own impression. The Government feels com
peJent not only TO cope with but TO drive back and
defeat any power at present welded by the Coniede
rates.
Tine people of Washington as is natural some Of
them are beginning TO feel uneasy, and good ma
ny are leaving tie city. w at Baltimore do not
apprehend danger. We are well guarded and
troops from The North are passing through our
streets continually.
An afEIghted old darkie, an hour ago, asked me,
with eyes wide open and white as pOached eggs:
sMassa, dem folks tell Ginl. B0gard has tuck
Washington Am it so? At the present moment
of writing, Secessionsts in high gee at the ri
dcuiOus rumor of Generals IssgncranZ and Tyler
being prisoners in Richmond! They are willing TO
bet on its truth, blaming the Government and tele
grapht for keeping such important news from them
II, however, such a report should prove true, it
must have deeteriOus effect. F..
The same precipitators assert that Johnston has
positively crossed the Potomac and is now in Mary
land, invading our soil i do not believe it. and
have the bsst reasons for expressing such belief.
Notwithstanding, fear, look at The whole sub
)ectin cool, deliberate manner, we are rapidly
approaching times more troublesome thai any that
have yet come upon us. Il is useless 10 disguise
the fact Our country must put forth its whole
loyal strength, and that quickly. kPAgAPsco,
