Gop. Rector: sent you by express Yesterday
copies OF calls made by upon the people of this
part of the State for volunteers and upon certain
counties for the militia turn out. Since sending
them, L have so modified those calls as to require
the people to organize, remain at home, report
strength, and hold themselves in readiness for i'm
mediate service. It would be highly reprehensible
in me to be the author of false alarm but it surely

The YANKEE sARMADa.-Itis is understood tha. the
Government has received information, the particu-
lars of which are not given to the public, that
furnishes grounds for1th belief that the Yankee
feet were preparing to land at Port Royal, in
South Carolina. There is said to, be here one of
the most capacious and finest hsrhors on the At

1t is announced by telegraph from Washington
that the Administration, in view of all the cirGumr
stances of the case, considers itself bound to re-
organize Gen. Fremont's military department
which will involve the necessity of transferring
that officer to some other field of duty. It must be
taken for granted that none but very urgent rea-
sons dictate this step, in the face of such an mmi-
nent crisis as now exists in Missouri But the Ad-
ninisration has moved in this matter with peculiar
care. 1t has dispatched the Secretary of War to
thespot to obtain absolute assurance of its facts,
and now forms the conclusion only after the most
mature deiiheration. The public mind, though il
has but very limited knowledge of the case, will
still be little surprised by the fatal decision So
far as regards the administrative conduct OF the
department, Gen. Fremont's friends have scarcely
even attempted to dsprove the charge OF loose
