CANT, LYON, Washington, D. g.,
Aug. 18th, 1861. {
DEAR UNCLE Capt. Hammond has bee.,
sick tcyr ten days he is gaining slowly. The
most Of the sickness ID our camp has been caus-
ed by eating unwholesome food, but we are
having that which is better now. There is ev-
cry reason in the world for, believing that we
shall have an attack here, or in this vicinity,
soon. Troops are pouring IN here from all
quarters. Sickles' Brigade, eight thousand
strong, are encamped about four miles from us :;
three Pennsylvania Regiments are stationed at
Great Falls; the New York 23d, and the Maine
9th are near us three companies Of cavalry;
az two OF artillery are with u.s. Our meu
are hard at work throwing up entertainments
and building batteries. Several heavy cannon
are expected soon. The Cd Vermont Regiment
will be here to-day,-then we shall be all right.
A report reached here last night that there
are two hundred and City thousand Rebels be-
tween hero and Richmond, bat it is not well
founded. Yesterday morning we saw flag
about i0ur miles to tho northwest, and it re-
maincQ spread about an h0hr and half after
we inst discovered H. We have two Rebel

has several times fixed upon our pickets. He
will probably be shot.
The report that there are one hundred thou
sand troops between here and Washington, is
not to be relied upon, and have no means Of
stating the exact number. Furthermore, it
has been said within few minutes that the
Vermont Second was not coming. You will see
by this that ne know 90 little by what we hear
as you do, and dare say you know better than
we what is being done at any other post than
our own. 1t ia but seldom tina: ne g95 paper
to read.

granted charter from Greensborough to Leaksvile
the so long talked of Dafville Connection has, in
effect been chartered. 1t now remains for the peo-
pie of Guilford and Rockingham to bestir tbemsel-
yes and to build the road The distance from
Greensboro to Leaksville is about thirty-three
miles Shall the road be built! That it can be, no
one doubts. but will it be done? 1t remains for the
people Of Guilford and Rockingham to say In this
connection, we call attention to the charter granted
extending the Coal-felds Road west from Deep
River. 1t rests with the Stockholders to say where
this road shall intersect with the North Carolina
Railroad. Should the Greensboro and Leaksve
Road be built, it would have great influence in
controlling the Western terminus of the Coalields
Road 1t is time that the people of Guilford and
Rockingham were moving in this matter. Whether
we remain in the union or are to 60 out it is highly
important that the Danville Connection should be
completed, and that as speedily as possible. We
hope soon to hear of meetings being called, and of
