learn that undoubted information had
been received there, to the effect that
three or four thousand Federal troops
would be sent from Cairo, on board two
large steamers, within very short time
say forty-eight hours. This force
would be merely an "advance guard

are said to be the capture of arms known
to be there and the blockade Of the

We copy the following items from the
special dispatches from the Charleston
Courier and Mercury:
RICHMOND, May 27.-Our troops are
in possession of Centreville and Fairfax
G. H. and not the enemy, as reported
I am reliably informed that five United
States war vessels entered the mouth Of
James River this morning, and landed
body of troops at Newport News.
NORFOLK, May 27, 3.2O p. m. -- An
officer from Craney Island reports that
the enemy, after stopping short time
at Newport News, continued their course
up the James River. They did not land
troops at Newsport News. 1t is the
opinion of many that this movement
looks to demonstration on Richmond
others think it only a te'nt.
Thousands of Yankees are encamped
inland from Fort Monroe.
BALTIMORE, May PA large mum.
ber of Federal troops are passing on the
railroads for Washington.
RICHMOND, May 27.-I left Manas.
sas Junction at 8 o'clock this morning.
There were indications of any early ad-
vance Of the United States troops from
Alexandria towards Richmond. Twelve
or fifteen thousand troops are in and
near Alexandria, and more are contin-
ually landing from steamers and COM
ing down by way of the bridge. They
have batteries on Arlington Heights,
Shooters Hill, and at the junction Of
the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hamp-
shire Railroad, and the Columbia Turn
pipe.
The Zouaves are committing the
grosscst cXcesses in Alexandria, ravish-
ing respectable women, and perpetra-
tin. other atrocities.
The Southern troops, under General
Bonham, will dispute their ADVANCE
The Palmetto Brigade holds the post
nearest the enemy.
The report which prevailed here that
a number Of the L;ncolnites were killed
on Sunday in an attack on Hampton,
is arthoritatively denied. The rumor
sprung from the report of musketry f.
ring, which occurred over the grave of
i soldier at Old Point.
On Saturday, the Lincolnites march
cd into Hampton, but met with no op-
position, as the citizens retired on the
approach of the mercenaries. Finding
the town deserted, they left it, having
burned the bridge and cut off commu-
nication.
About five hundred Federal troops
left Old Point, ON Saturday. 1t is re-
ported they proposeto disembark on the
coast of North Carolina.
About thirty Federal transport steam
ers are reported at Newport News, ff-
teen miles from Norfolk. They have
landed an immense force of United
States troops. 1t is supposed this force
landed here will be supported by anoth-
er body to be landed on Craney Island,
and that they will both proceed stimuli
taneously to attack Norfolk front and
rear.
We have no communication whatever
with Alexandria, as the track of the
Orange Road has been torn up.

further, That the President be and he
is hereby authorized to cause the sever
al Executive Departments, with the ar
chives thereof, to be removed at such
time between this and the twentieth day

lamation, to call the Congress together
at some other convenient place to be
