Var Neaes and Rumors.
report was extensively circulated ves,e-5.-
says the Richmond Dispatch, that the enemvs W.
vessels had commenced cannonade in the v;c;n;tl.
of EyaDsport on the Potomac Passengers Inv ,fo
Fredericksburg train asserted that heavy fr;D nv as
heard in that direction but all our efforts failed :,
elicit anything of definite character. No inta,E
gence IN regard to the affair was received at tho
War Department, and we conclude that the repo,.
needs confirmation. This rumor is all We have t..
the Potomac line, with the exception of the u,r.i
communication made by passengers from NarssssS
that "a battle is close at hand,n which NAV noss.
bly, be true, though we would not advise Onr ro,a
ers to place much confidence in unauthorized re-
ports.
The prisoners who were brought in Yesterday
from the West stated that Rosencrantz WAS tho
General who made the retreat from SeaweG, thus
confirming the original statements Our latest ad
vices represent that General Lee was Quietly bold
ing his position. The frequent rains had made the
roads almost impossible
Col. Gillian, with his command, still occuped
Elk Mountain at last accounts though was thought
probable that the loss of the baggage and stores
heretofore reported. might render it necessary for
the regiment to return to Richmond Capt D. B.

but brings no news of importance.
