NOTiolk, buss august o. tooi'
The town Of Hampton was fred las, night
bS the Federals. II is believed that all the
most prominent buildings were consumed.
The fire ragged about IL o'clock or later, and
could be distinctly seen at many OF our posts.
Further particulars we have not heard, but
you may rely upon this statement as correct.
Various conjectures are afloat as to the object
of this act. We can place no dependence
! upon the actions Of men given to such wan
ton outrages.
Four steamers were of Newport News
Yesterday. Two or three steamers went up
James River yesterday. The burning Of the
buildings al Newport News, as stated by tele-
graph. is untrue. A gentleman from point
near that locality assures Us, with the aid Vi
his spy glass he can distinctly see the move
menis Of the enemy. There is still num-
Der OF troops at that point, to guard the large
Tort they have erected. He SAYS the bright
light seen there on Monday was due TO the
burning Of brush. so that you may dismiss
the idea that any conaagralion Of importance
has taken place.
Three large steamers came in yesterday
and touched at Old Point. One Of them was
literally packed with troops.
A bright light was seen in the direction o
James River on Tuesday night, about II o
IL o'clock, and, as il was on the water, man,
believe that il was vessel on fire. We in
cline 10 that belief.
II may be proper TO add that the Federall
have erected large fort at Newport News
and made an entrenchment around II. They
are well fortified in every respect.
The loud sounds of drums and unusua
noise at our many posts, We heard on Monday
night. was caused by an intended false alarm
TO try the alacrity Of our soldiers. Ii i
needless to say. the result was satisfactory.
