THE THREATENED ATTACK
The call for more volunteers from the East-
ern and Northern States meets with prompt |
AID willing response. From the answers re- I!
turned by telegraph, we may expect an addi- |
ton Of at least $4,000 to our force, and IS |
soon as they can be brought here. There is
no danger Of an attack, however, while the
rains continue. Tha city is laooriag under
considerable excitement in regard to threaten
ed movements. Military regulations are made
more strict. No passes are now given to mere
pleasure seekers or curiosity hunters, nor to
free negroes who are not vouched for. Gen.
Mcclellan and staff have been in Virginia all
day.
OUR BLOCKADE OPERATIONS.
It is hoped, now that Capt. Fox has taken
matters in hand, that there may be no longar
grounds Of complaint against our blockade.
An immense amount Of work is being done In
this department, Besides the large number
Of merchant vessels and steamers purchased
OF chartered, the war vessels Of the Brazil,
African and ChiEa Equa1rons have been added
to the force, comprising seven steamers and
SIX sailing ve.sels. Twenty-Five vessels lead
ed with stone are on their way to the North
Carolina in1ets, which they will close.

The correspondent Of the St. Louis Dem

ports from Lexington, but it is a settled
fact that that place is invested By General
Price with some Is, 900 rebel troops. Good
military a1thoritiel here are confident, how
ever, that the q. S. troops there have been
reinforced, and that unless the place was
isken yesterday l. is safe. Price is reported
to have large park OF artillery, part oil
which are the guns taken from Gen. Sigel's
battery at Springfield. A part of Prices
forces is reported TO be forty miles from this
city, His scouts have been seen fifteen miles
from here.
Ben McCulloch, with Is, 900 well armed
rebels, is reported to be a ivanclng rapidly
from the southwest in the direction of either
ROlla or this city. Many think this will be
the point Or attack. Another object of his
march is said to be TO get between our troops
at Rolla and other points and prevent juno.

are successful, then form a junction with
