RUMoRs ABOUT WASHINGTON CrTY.--There
seems to be much agitation in and around
Washington with respect to the Whereabouts
and projects Of Stonewall Jackson At every
hour of the day reports arise that he is at Lees
burg, OF at Winchester, or at Warrenton, with
forty thousand men, preparing to make dash

these reports. In fact, Sigel's movement does
not look unlike retreat. Now, we are not of
the opinion that the general fear should be
treated with contempt, nor that our willy and
