repairs on the Northern Central and Philadelphia
| and Wilmington Railroads compile tied and march
through Baltimore to test the temper of tn at city,
Should the slightest attempt to repeat the murder
treachery of the 10Th ult be made, the guns of
Fort McHenry will teach the bloody city lesson

two regiments from his State. They will arrive

General Scott is anxious to see all the volunteers
| called here come full v armed and uniformed, and
ready to enter upon camp life The capital is now

IcANs.-CARIsE ZAPArA Co, Texas, April IS
| DEAR PIc.-The first fandango of the campaign
came off this morning, fifteen miles below this
place, between a party of Capt. Mat Nolan's Ran
gers and a band of Mexcans, who had armed
themselves, and pronounced in favor of Mexico
and in opposition to the Confederation. An express
reached Fort Mcintosh Saturday noon, and at
| noon the next day the scouting party of twenty
hive men were at this place, distance of seventy
miles; here rested until midnight, when
we again took the saddle and reached the rebels
| camp Just as day began to break, thus paying
| them an unlocked for and unexpected visit
| Nine Mexicans were killed in the charge
| and several wounded; the rest made good
| their escape in the chaparra
| NORFOLK Fruit AND VEGETABLE MARKEr-On
Saturday we had fine supply of strawberries a nd
| green peas. The former full ripe and nearly as
large as the end of ones thumb, at the low rate of
| 81 cents quart-lOw, considering they were the
| first In market. Peas have been some days coming
to market, but were certainly reasonable enough
at 81 cents per peck. Asparagus continues very
| fine and cheap. Early Iorks were plentiful, and
some of them toerabIy well headed They sold at
l0@l2 cts. for three heads.-Norfolk Herald, OF

ALEXANDRIA TO BE OCCURRED The Washington
correspondent OF the n. Y. Eeeninq Post saws oss+
There is much speculation in reference tn an at
tack on Alexandra. The idea of such an expedi
| tion has somehow crept out of the War Drnsrt-
ment, and outsiders now consider it settled thing
| that ere long strong force will occupy the town
! for the protection of the Custom house and Post
| office. 1t will be absolutely necessary to plant bat
teries on the hills near the town to hold it.
A WHOLE BRIGADE on PARADE.-The New Jer-
sey quota of volunteers, $500 strong, under Gen.

Gen. Scott. They returned by way of + and
