Great Excitement in New York.
Rumor of an Attack to be made on the
Brooklyn Navy Yard!

New YoRK, Jan. %.
Brooklyn was thrown into feverish state
of excitement, last evening, by a current
rumor that the Navy Yard was to be seized
by the sympathizers in this vicinity Of the
secessionists. Last night, according to rumor,
was the time at which the descent was to have
been made. 1t appears that Capt Foot, who
was in command Of the Yard during the
temporary absence Of Commodore Breeze at
Philadelphia, deemed the reformation Of suf-
ticient Importance to warrant him in taking
prompt measures for the protection Of the
government property under his charge. A
consultation with tho Mayor was held, result
ing in the issuing of an order by Maj. Gen.
Duryee to the Fifth Brigade, Gen. Foote,
which caused the prompt assemblage Of that
command, under arms, ready for immediate
action. The 18th. 14th and 2Sth Regiments
assembled at the City Armory, and the 7th
Regiment was at tho State Arsenal, they
having cfore received orders to meet there,
last night, for drill All the available police
force in Brooklyn, about $50. were ordered to
rendezvous at tie Second Precinct station,
and at hall near the Navy Yard gate. Thirty
three of the river police were on duty in three
boats abcat the approaches by water to the
Navy Yard. In the Yard, the sentinels were
doubled, and an extra guard placed upon the
receiving ship North Carolina. Capts. Dough
tv and Reed had under their command about
100 marines, who were in readiness for duty
at 4 moments notice, and all the necessary
arrangements were made for action. BY
these arrangements, if an attack had been
made, the assailants would have met with |
warm reception.
Just, however, as the force was about to
take its departure from headquarters, dis
patch was received from President Bowen,
who had gone to Brooklyn, countermanding
orders, and everything was quiet
Up to late hour last night, however, there
were no indications of any disturbance what
ever,
