Lincoln is concentrating his forces at
these points. We but await step OF
aggression. Alexandria must be re-
possessed. The enemy must be drlv-

seems to indicate delay. We are
anxious to begin the work. We
want to replace the stars and bars on
the "Marshall House," and avenge old
Hickory's namesake.
The fleet off our coast continue to
exercise themselves by shooting at
our batteries. Theirtargets will cost
them dear. Newport News was re-
inforced to day by nearly three thou
sand men. On and about this point
there arc twelve Thousand Federal
troops. We cannot cheek their land

Regiment has been divided. Sin
companies occupy quarters near l's e
Point. We will join them tomorrow.
From this point the enemy can be
seen, and their drum and fife easily
heard. There will be more interest

Dear Daily: News from the seat
