Ii is declared by one of the evening papers
that Meade is feeling the enemy and pre-
pairing to make an important movemelt t.
Slight skirmishes are the order of the day.
Meade has, within day or two, made
some changes in position, looking to the
better protection OF those engaged in the
reconstruction Of the Orange s Alexandria
Railroad. The Railroad is again in ruu-
ming order as far as CattleFs Station, and
the movements made by Meade will pre-
vent q repetition of the snnoyances to
which the construction corps have been
lately subject
Senior Romero, from Mexico, was, this
forenoon, presented by the Secretary of
State to the President, in his new capacity
as Mexican envoy extraordinary, So, TO
the Government. He addressed to the
President the complimentary and congrst-
ulstOry speech customary on such occs-
siOns, and received from that dignitsry the
usual brief reply.
Itis learned, on inquiry at the Office Of
the Provost Marshal General, that the pre-
vsiling impression that the Government
has called for 10000 more men from the
State Of New York, is incorrect. Her
quota to be furnished under the Presi-
dents call for Volunteers, is but a frae-
tiOn over $4,000. There is an alledged de-
fciency of some Al, 900 from that State un-
der the draft which may or may not be
required to be made good under future
draft, if one should eventually be neces-
sary.
A refugee from spOttsylTsnis County,
brings report that HoWelrs Division Of

Bragg, has Joined Lee he states that be
did not meet single Confederate picket
on his way here. There Is no truth in the
report that General Foster is moving up
the Peninsula toward Richmond, at the
head of 10000 men.
1t is understood that all efforts for sn
exchange Of prisoners, have proved futile
for the present. The Rebels decline to SC.
cede to any proposition made by our Com
msnder.
