MONTGOMERY, ALA, May 13, 1851.
A body of troops numbering at least five
hundred men, passed through Montgomery on
yesterday en- route for Pensacola. They are to
be followed in day or two, it is reliably
stated, by regiment of Georgians a thousand
strong.
The almost daily additions to our army
at Pensacola indicates that decisive, and
perhaps an unexpected, blow is soon to be
struck by Gen. Bragg, or that the Department
OF War Is apprehensiye of some aggressive
movement OF the black foe, not dreamed OF in
the philosophy Of the many.
rumor is in active circulation this morn
ing, that the proposition made TO Congress by
the Virginia Commissioners to remove the
Government to Richmond has resulted ia q
determination by that body TO do so about
the Goth of next month"; Teiegraphic dis
patches from prominent citizens of Virginia

probably adjourn to meet in Richmond in
July. The announcement OF a removal Of the
seat of Government is probably premature.
