Great Excitement in New York and
BrOOlSivn.

NEw York, Jan. 22.-Brooklyn was
thrown into feverish state of excitement
last evening. by current rumor that the
Navy Yard was to be seized by the sym
pathizers with the secessionists in this vi
cinity. Last night, according to rumor,
was the time at which the descent was to
have been made. 1t appears that Capt
Foot who was il. command Of the Yard
during the temporary absence of Com
mander Bfeese at Philadelphia. deemed tile
information of sufficient importance to
warrant him taking prompt measures foi
the protection Of the Government property
under his charge.
a consultation with the Mayor was held
resulting in the issuing of an order by Maj
Gen, Duryea to the 9Th Brigade. Gen
Crooks. which order caused the prompt
assembling of that command under arms
ready for immediate action. The 18th.
14th and 9th Regiments assembled at the
City Arinory, and the Tth Regiment was al
the State Arsenal, they having before recciv.
ed orders to meet there last night for drill
All the available Police force of Brooklyn
about $50, were ordered to rendezvous al
the Second precinct Station and at hal
near the Navy Yard gate. Fifty Of the
River Police were on duty in the boat
about the approaches by water to the Ma
Wy Yard.
In the yard the scntinels were doubled
and the receiving ship North Carolina
Captains Doughty and Reed, had un,le
their command about 100 Marines. who
were in readiness for duty at moment
notice, and all the necessary arrangements
were made for active service By these
arrangements, if an attack had been made
the assailants would have met warm re
ccption.
The rumors as to the number and exact
plan of the attacking party we're various
and as it passed from one to another. die
not lessen in proportion or importance
Some had it that James Kerrigan was at
the head of the movement. and had under
his command no less than 20. 900 men
and that tic attack was to be made simnl
tancously by land and water. The party
expected by water was to come to the Yars
in one or moro steamboats,. and the lane
forces were to possess the eastern distric
ferries in small parties, SO as not TO at
tract attention, and force an entrance t.
the Yard on the Flushing Avenue side
A picket guard of policemen was thrown
at different points to prevent surpris
froA this quarter. and on the whole fh
Navy Yard IVES in a creditable condition
for defensive operations. t''s .1.s =
Up to late hour last night however
there were no indications Of any disturb
ance whatever. -. ~
Information. of the anticipated attAcI
was sent to the police authorities in thi
lefty about four o'clock this afternoon
