Brooklyn was thrown into a feverish
state of excitement last evening by a cur
rent rumor that the Navy Yard was to be
seized by the sympathizers in this vicini.
ty of the secessionists. Last night. ac-
cording to rumors, was the time at which
the descent was TO have been made. Il
appears that Capt Foot, who was in COM
mand Of the Yard during the temporary
absence of Com. Breese at Philadelphia,
deemed the Information Of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant him taking prompt
measures for the protection Of the govern
ment property under his charge. A con
sultation with the Mayor was held, and
the 9th Brigade, Gen Cook, promptly as
sembled under arms, ready for immediate
action. The 18th, l4th and 2S,h regi-
ments assembled at TIE City Armory, and
the 9TH regiment was at the State Arse
nal. All the available police force of
Brooklyn, about $50 men, were ordered
to rendezvous near the Navy Yard gate.
so of the river police were on duty in 3
boats about the approaches of the Yard.
Iu the Yard the sentinels were doubled,
and an extra guard placed upon the reeei-
wing ship North Carolina. One hundred
marines were in readiness, and all the
necessary arrangements were made for
a warm reception to the assailants. The
rdmors as to the number and plan of the
attacking party were various. Some had
It that James Kerrigan was at the head
of the movement, and had under his com.
mand not less than 10000 men and that
the attack was to be made simultaneously
by land and water. The party by water
was to come in one or more steamboats,,
and the land forces were to cross the
eastern district in small parties so as not
10 attract attention aad foace an entrance.
On the whole the Yard was in a credita-
bic operations for offensive operations.
Up to a late hour last night. however,
there were no indications of any disturb
ance whatever. Capt. Foot is Of the OPP
ihion that the force Of marines at his COM
Rand is amply sufficient to resist any at
tack which may be made. The policemen
were dismissed at about 8 o'clock. Il is
stated upon good authority that some of
those engaged in the threatened outbreak
are a number of workmen recently dis
charged from the navy yard, and to whom
the government is in arrears over two
months pay.

Gov. Letcher to-day communicated to
the Legislature the coercion resolutions
adopted by the State of Ohio with a mes
age saying that the sending of such res
o%lutions to the slave holding States can
have no other tendency than to excite
fresh feelings Of resentment, inhame ex-
listing preiudices, increase the present
difficulties, and embarrass if not defeat
all efforts that are now being made to
adjust the controversy between the North
and South. He suggested the ~propriety
of sending a rebuke to the Governor Of
Ohio for his refusal TO surrender John
Brown and Frances Marion when eman-
ded blythe aethorities of Virginia as Fu-
gitives from Justice-Laid on the table
by a small majority.
