These are lut samples OF series of barbarous acts

H@- One of the rumors mentioned in some of the
Virginia papers is to the effect that the great expe-
dition fitting up at Hampton Reads has gone North
instead of coming South. That it has gone to coope-
rate in an attack against Yorktown on the York River
and Evansport, on the Potomac The very largest
vessels being unable to ascend the Potomac as high
desired, would no doubt operate against Yorktown, to
which vessels of any draught may approach. Some
reference is made to the Peninsula in our Geographic
column but nothing definite confrmatory of the re-
ports referred to. although Richmond has been the the
atre of considerable excitement on account of their
currency.
