Our friend, Col. J. W. SPALDIEa, OF VIZ
ginia, who arrived yesterday from Washing
ton, contradicts the report that the Federal
authorities had possession of Arlington
Heights, a point which, by the way, is not
perhap s of as much military Importance as is
generally supposed. He describes the majority
of troops in the Capital as the offscouring OF
creation, beating FALsrAYF's ragged regiment

Munitions of War.

We are gratified to learn from the Rich
mond Enquirer, that Virginia is to-day bet
ter provided with all the necessaries OF
great campaign than any State North of Ma
son and Dixon's line-if she is not equally rs
well supplied as the Federal Government it
self. The Navy Yard at Gosport, the Maya
zine at Norfolk, the Arsenal at Harper's Fer
nv, added largely to the supply, which has
been removed from those points and distri-
buted among the soldiery; but the action
taken by many of the counties, without the
knowledge of the authorities at Richmond, in
purchasing arms and munitions OF war fol-
the companies within the county limits, has
supplied, to very great extent, the hundred
thousand men which, within few days, will
be ready to defend the soil of Virginia from
Federal invasion.
The Enquirer adds
THAT Gen. Lee can at any moment leave Rlch
