CAMP SECOND Corps ARMY VIRGINIA:
Little Washington, Va, August7j
Reports are frequently received here, thrv
various channels, to the effect that the Con-
federate army Of Richmond have been moving
from the city southwark for the last ten days.
The source through which some Of these re-
ports come are entitled to full credence
It is added that, among the causes tor the
evacuation of Richmond, are the exhaustion
Of the country north of the james river, the
infectious and pestiential atmosphere, and the
SUPERIOR advantages of the James river as q
line OF defence.
It is also STATED that they intend to maintain
an open railroad connection with the valley, Via
Lynchburg, Charlottesville and Gordohsvllle,
to Stanton, TO the last moment, as a resource
for supplies.
The unexpected visit of Gen. Crawford's
cavalry to Orange Court House, on Saturday,
struck terror into the population Of that town
and surrounding country. The force he at
tackled there was superior to his own, but the
OBJECT OF the Visit was accomplished, "Heh Ae

It is understood that the government is CON

and that such draft will, in all probability,
be resorted to before long The reasons urged
nor this draft are: first, the urgent necessity

duty.

FORT MONROE, May i.
A flag oftruce from Crsney Island this
afternoon, brought down an English
nobleman and several newspapers giving
the particulars of the capture Of Fort Ma
con, and some additionl particulars of the
fall of New Orleans.
The Wilmington Journal of Tuesday
has the following in confirmation of the
fall of Fort Macon:
We have Just learned that FIRE was
opened upon the Fort at . quarter before
six o'clock on Friday morning. and the
engagement between the Fort and the
Federal batteries was kept up until seven
o'clock that evening. when the Fort be.
came wholly untenable and was surren.
dered.
All the guns inside the Fort opposite
the side attacked were dismounted. and
oil bot three of the guns bearing upon the
enemy's batteries were also dismounted.
The eneny's central battery Of breach
ing guns was within HOO yards of the
Fort. The right and left flsnking bat.
teries were more distant.
The Petersburg Express Of to-day says
that many rumors were in circulation yes
terday, among them the svscuation Of
Memphis. Also. the reported capture Of
Wilmington, N. c.. BY Gen. Burnside.
