Excitement In Richmond.

At an early hour yesterday morning the
reserve forces were called out-not by repe-
tition of the unearthly clangor of bells, but
by the more quiet method Of printed notices.
The difference in the effect of this mode Of
assembling the people was manifest in the
calmer and less bustling, but equally prompt
manner in which it was responded to. The
idea of alarm is so inseparably associated
with the din Of fre-bells, that whenever they
sound they invariably produce an undue ex-
element, and on such occasions especially
produce unnecessary and painful agitation
among those whose peace should be particu-
larly consulted. 1t was known in the city on
Tuesday night that the raidiDg party of the
enemy, which had visited Beaver Dam on the
Central Railroad, had boosted of getting to
Richmond before morning, and as they were
also known to be advancing in this direction,
preparations were made accordingly. The
reserve troops for local defense were called
out yesterday morning to cooperate in eff
fecting their discontinue, if their assistance
should prove necessary.
Notwithstanding the skill and energy dis
played by the authorities in the defense of
Richmond, there is an additional means Of
defense that may be added with great effect.
We mean the barricade Of all the streets
leading out of the city, and the loopholing
the houses near the barricades for their pro-
lection and defense. The tobacco now stored
in Richmond, together with strong fences and
deep bitches across the front, will afford such
protection against cavalry as may laugh their
efforts to scorn. The enemy adopted this
mode of defense for Baltimore, when they
apprehended that the cavalry Of General
Stuart would dash into that city, and we are
assured BY officers who saw these defences
that they are most efficient against cavalry.
Richmond is to be defended to the very
last; her people are ready and willing to an
swer any calls from the authorities but every
means Of defense should be used. The labor
and material are here that may be required
to effectually barricade every outlet. 1t is
unknown how long the enemy may be around
the city, or what part they may attempt to
enter. Their cavalry, yesterday defeated by
Stuart, may to-day rally, and, reinforced,
turn the tide of victory, and seek to gallop
into the city and through it to their army at
Bermuda Hundred. Barricaded streets will
check their progress, even should they force
any post of the outer works. The precaution
now suggested may never be required, but the
terrible disaster it may prevent surely should
commend it to the attention of the Engineer
Department of the city defenses. 1t becomes
the authorities to adopt every means in their
power. The defense Of Richmond must, if
necessary, equal that of Derry or Saragossa.-
Richmond Enquirer, May 18th.
