ent OF the Times who Left Washington yes
terday A. NJ. says rumor having reached
Virginia that Lieut.. Gen. Scott, was about
to resign as general in chief Of the United
States, a Judge Robinson, an old personal
friend aud class mate Of his came TO Wash
ington on Sunday from Richmond to offer .
commission as commander-in-chief Of the
forces Of the confederate States. After learn
ing the purport of his errand, Gen. Scott in
terrupted him with declaration that If he
went any further 10 making such propo-
sition to him, he, Judge R., would not be
permitted to get back TO Richmond; adding
that having sworn to support the Constitu-
ton Of the United States, he realized all the
honorable obligations Of that oath, and of
course should observe them.
Mr.. Siminton says be learns from good
authority that the N. Y. seventh regiment
marched over from Annapolis to Washing
ton on Monday night.
Citizens of Maryland and Virginia are
positive in their protestations that there is
not the slightest design on the part Of those
States to invade the Federal Capital; they
are probably not advised Of tho purposes Of
JEFF Davis and other disunionists.
Gen. Beauregard is reported TO have ar
rived at Richmond on Monday, and was be-
!ieved to be accommodating in the neigh
borhood Of Washington, for the furtherance
of their plans.
The secession authorities yesterday Or
dered Major Tilgmsn, commander of the
militia Of the eastern shore to take possess
ion Of the chesapeake and Delaware Ca
nal This doubtless looks to the destruc-
ton Of that work as a means of transit for
troops. The Union men of Coco were en-
deavoring last night to effect measures 10
protect the canal.
The Times says from Raleigh authority,
that the 9TH regiment landed on Sunday
morning at Annapolis, at the same time
with a Massachusetts, regiment About
1000 rebels were collected partly armed,
and having howtzers to oppose their land
ing The regiment formed with Massa-
chusetts regiment and marched straight

leb Gushing at flag raising to day address
sed the citizens of this place. He was for
the Union under any or all passible circum-
stances and against all its foes. His whole
affection was with Massachusetts, and not
friend or for should separate him from her.
He was ready on the field of battle to live
or die 10 her defense or that of the Union.
Havre de Grace, April PA gentle
man passed here from Baltimore this AM,
who states that Fort McHenry was certain
Ily reinforced with 600 men. Also, that
the Baltimorians had planted cannons to-
wards her. The Commander ordered them

Sequently another cannon was pointed at her
on another side, which was also removed

( tered into between the authorities of Balti-

Left Fortress Mnnroe Saturday night. The
troops were in good spirits, all well and ca
ger to be at tho post of duty. Twas re-
ported that about 5000 Virginia troops
we're in and about Norfolk, and more were
arriving Capt. Homo reports that the Vir-
ginians talk Of storming the Fortress as that
Is the only possible way Of takiog il; that,
however, will be no easy matter. The
Government has given notification TO the
residents in the vicinity, Of impending dan
gers, and they were fastening away. The
Virginians think the Fort can be taken, but
calculate upon a great loss Of life. The
Caprain of the steamer Spaulding reports
that there had been no reinforcement ofF
McHenry, up to the time Of his leaving on
