They think the recognition OF the srperaIe

ALEXANDRIA AND ITS VIcINITY.-The sen
sanon correspondents have been telegraph
ing Tor some days, bogus items" Of great
excitement in this neighborhood. A plot
to seize Washington, was one of the on
dis. Another dispatch declared that tie
secesslonlSts had tempered with the popula-
tion on the line of the road from Wilmin gtoni
and Alexandria, with view to 81 curing their
aid in march by Jefferson Davis on the
Federal Capitol.
The correspondent Of the New York Com
mercial who, it seems, has recently visited this
city, says, under date of Friday last:-"Yes-
terday there was some commotion caused by
the circulation of detailed statements OF an
attempt made to prevent further changes Of
federal officials in Virginia, by tarring and
teathering recently appointed route agent
on the Orange and Alexandria railroad.
But this morning, when your correspon-
dent visited that ancient and loyal town.
where George Washington used to worship
in church still standing, and preside over
Masonic lodge still in existence, he found
no symptoms Of disloyalty. There are, it is
true, secessionists in Alexandria. but a
large majority of the people there will be
true TO 1.-The Constitution, the Union and
the enforcement of the laws" Up on the
road, some Of the idlers always to be found
about railway stations at the South, have
threatened TO administer lynch law if any
Republican comes that way. But the newt y
appointed mail agents will perform their
duty and the railroad companies will rer-
der them aid and protection, we'll knowing
that Postmaster General Blair will not tole-
rate any triHinp"

The Recent Military Eovement.

The New York Commercial, in combating
the opinion that the troops recently sent
from New York were intended for Forts
Sumter and Pickens, says:
What a battery OF flying artillery, used
we believe exclusively in field practice. and
five hundred horses could lind to do either in
Furt pickens or IN shipboard in the harbor,
is bcvand comprehension. Had our cotempo-
raries remembered that these form part OF the
expedition, it probably would not have
re;.chcd such questionable concluslon.-
With all Difference we venture the opinion
that Texas is the destination of these vessels,
though we are more hopeful than we once
were that Fort Piciicns also Will be taken
care Of. But we are inclined TO believe that
the expedition now preparing here Is de-
signed to operate in Texas, and that not for
the purpose Of coercng the rnyolutlouists,
but for Ire humnme p"jVo&c n pr0trcf'ny thcn
