Yorktown Not Evacuated.
Correspondence of the New York Tribune


YORKTOWN, July Ito correct state
ment made in your valuable paper of the It'll
inst, to the effect that this post was about to
be evacuated, l take the liberty of furnishing
you the following facts: Shortly after the
moving of the depots of supplies for the
army of the Potomac from the Pamunkey, it
was deemed advisable to concentrate ali the
forces in this vicinity. For this purpose orders
were issued to evacaste Gloucester Point, and
destroy such material as would not pay for re-
moving. This order was executed, and all the
guns on the Notifications of that place were
blown up. This, no doubt, gave rise to the
statement of your correspondent that this
place was also to be evacuated. 1t is believed,
however, that such a movement has never
been contemplated. At any rate, the inten-
tioR of Gen. Van Allen seems now to be to hold
it to the last; and for that purpose the works
have been materially trengthened.-many
heavy guns having been transferred from the
water batteries to the land approaches and it
can be safely said that with the cooperation
of the gunboats now here he can defy any
force that the enemy can send against him.
At any rate, all feel perfectly willing to try
their mettle with the eneny, and say, " Let
him come, and if he is not entirely satisfied
with his reception, we hope, at least, he will
have no reason to complain of its warmth"
