This fact gave rise to the rumor that Senator Doug

the flag was lowered at half mast in honor of COL

in Washington this morning. 49,,

War kumOrs.

Our City and country readers will do well to guard
against needless excitement originating in sensation
war rumors. rumor has been circulated upon
streets, that dispatches had been received from
Gov. Letcher of Virginia by our authorities, making
requsition for all the available force of the State
Immediately, and that Richmond was menaced by
the landing of 1900 federal troops at the head of
York river, II miles Of the city; and further that
Norfolk was threatened by an immense body Of
Northern troops. is doubtless true that request
has been made by Virginia for all our available force
to be forwarded as soon as possible. In obedience
to this request, in addition to the first regiment
which left on Tuesday last, another regiment left
this city for Virginia on Thursday morning, and it
is probable the second regiment has been ordered off
from Garysburg. Other troops will doubtless be
needed from this State, and we are sure any num-
Der required will be forthcoming, SO soon as they
can obtain the necessary equipments.
But it is not true that Richmond has been mem
aced, as we are informed by gentleman just from
that city. No troops have been landed or attempted
to be landed at the head of York river. Nor has
there been an attempt to land troops at or near
Norfolk, except in the early part Of this week,
when supposed attempt was made by armed ves-
sells from Fortress Monroe, at the mouth Of Nanse-
mond river, which however were readily bluffed of,
by the active operations of the batteries at that
point So far as we can ascertain, Norfolk is we'll
protected and the troops there, which will be aug
mened as it becomes necessary, ready for the in
vaders.
We intend to keep our readers fully advised of
every movement Of the enemy, from reliable sources.
With the exception of the attack upon the battery
at Sewelrs Point an account of which will be found
IN this and the last issues no collision has taken
place. except small brush at the retaking by the
Federal troops of the Smiths Point Light, in which
we believe no blood was shed. The affair at Sew
ellis Point is highly creditable to our troops.

Movements Of the Enemy.

We CLEAN the following items from the Virginia
press: El4 M --..~ 80. .-7.'s =
Harper's Ferry, it is thought by some will not
now be attacked. Gen Scott has said that &C, 900
men are needed along the banks of the Ohio; hence
the concentration Of troops in that direction.
Fortress Monroe will be reinforced in few days,
making there Is, 900 men. Gen. Wool has been ap-
pointed in command. Troops from the Fort are
gradually advancing upon and occupying the farms
about Hampton and it is intinated that this will be
one of the avenues to Richmond %
A new military department has been made Of
Virginia, lying South of James river, North-C Carroll
ma and Tennessee, and Gen. Butler, Of Mass, has
been appointed to the command 70
Arrests continue to be made at Washington city
Of those who sympathize with the South =
1t is stated as a fact, that Lincoln had ventured
out so far as to reconnoitre Arlington Heights.
"A letter-writer in New York paper, says: :" It
is not unlikely that the occupation by Federal troops
of strip ofcountry between York and James river,
as high up as Yorktown will take place. The dis.
tance across is ten miles, and whoever occupies it
will command the inland waters of Virgins"
