The feeling ran intensely high during the
whole of last evening, and there were meetings
almost everywhere. The ra-ions bands seren-
AIDED the General. and whenever he appeared he
was greeted with cheers. Though after notify
ing Gen. Hunter MS his order directed, that he
had no longer command over the troops, he spent
several hours in making personal examination
of the grounds about the city, to be prepared
for n battle. and in accordance with written
request from The Brighter Generals here, he re-
mained through the night to lead the army in
case of an attack. All the troops slept on their
arms, and many officers remained up all night.
An attack was hourly expected, but nothing
occurred than the firing on our pickets on two
different roads. ugl ls.ii - I'D IL. - va;
