The News.
From the Washington correspondents Of
our Baltimore exchanges, we learn that
serious apprehensions are felt at Washing
ton Of an early attack upon that city. The
Confederates are reported to be between
Barryville anu Tenalleytowu, north Of
Washington, ~. 900 strong. and to be
iu large aumbers in the dircc-
ton of Culpcpper Court House. 1t is
thought that the tro.ps at the forncr
place intend crossing into Maryland, with
n view Of attacking the Capitol at point
where it il supposed to be less strongly
fortified than upon the Virginia tide Of
the Potomac. Cen McClcunan is active
ly engaged in strengthening old forti6ca-
tons. aud erecting new ones for the de-
fence Of the city. lie expresses entire
confidence in his ability to defend it against
any force the Coulcderatcs can brig
against him.
From the same source, VIC leaIn that,
McClcnnan has determined to station H.
600 troops in the counties of Maryland,
south of Washington. Two thousand are
reported to have been already sent to Port
