REINTORCEMENT "F VETERANS FOR
MASAINa

REINFORCEMENT "F VETERANS FOR
WASHING rON.
We have conversed with a gentleman who
left Washington on Monday nc noon, ald
came down the Potomac upon a steamboat
load, with wounded soldiers. He inlJrins
us that in going down the river they INST an
immense feet of transports going up towards
Washington. He estimlted the mum per on
board at upwards of twenty thousand, and all
lrcnzed and hardy veterans. They IN Ist have
begun arriving at Washington about three
o'clock on Monday afternoon.
They were full Of enthusiasm and exube-
rance of spirits. Our informant ascertalled
that large portion of the armada were troops
from New Orleans, while others were from
another Department which it might be In
prudent to mention.
The greatest confidence and feeling of Sc
curity exists among the Government ofIi Iicials
In Washington. 1t is believed that the olsra-
tions about taking place will in1ict the death
blow upon the Rebellion.

the statement they made 10 the people iu the
vciLitJ ard the search was continued un IL five
o'cIuck on Tuesday evening, when they left on
th,ir way % the vicinity of Washington, crossing

During their stay In the vicinity Of Randall
town, they robbed everybody indiscrminagely,
lot onl, Of horses aud c,ttle, but of watches,
noLey, and clothing. .
Several Rebel sympathizers pleaded for ex-

Mn. EDITOR You will announce Capt LEWIS
JONES q, candidate for seat in the nextState
Legislature. 4,
Asit hepart Of wisdom for people to select
Inv givers with round Judgment and discretion,
it is eminently proper that We canvass well the
claims and capacities Of those who are to repre-
cent usin the next Lcgislature,-to stand as the
exponents of q struggle Fat involves everything
that frsemen hold dear,-that rendors life dear.
4 capacity for graphing with the civil and mill
tary interest'of the country,-for perceiving the
requirements Of the civilian and. the soldiers
required; and aboSe all, it is indispensable t.
the real welfaie of the country should animate
and guide cur: Representatives that .diaaensions
and demagogism should meet with no favor frem
us, but with prompt rebuke; that we carefully
watch and check all tendencies to- usurpation
from whatever quarter; but, uborc all let us bear
in mind at oil times, and under all circumstances,
that tho rand object that looms above all others
is to .Oring 'pictory and independence from our
enemy.
We place Capt JONES before the people Of
the District and the soldiers of the army. He
was in service for some time-is above the con-
script ago, and hence the charge of desiring to
escape the Soldiers hardships, cannot be brought
against him. We are confident that he will be
supported. X. z.

Our ,outs report Burnside to have arrived
at Alexandra, preparatory to joining Grant.
HAMIL1oN's CRossISo, April d. 1851
Our scouts report large reinforcements going
to Grant over the Orange and Alexandria
railroad; and persons who crossed over from
Maryland on Friday are very confident that
Burnside's destination is the Army of North
ern Virginia by way Of the Orange and Alex-
andria railroad.
Grant has expressed his intention of offer-
ing Mcclellan q command in tie army Of the
Potomac. The men, it is aid. are very d.
sircus that he should accept the offer, but it
is generally believed he will decline.
The Yankees were in the neighborhood of
HARDWOOD Church yesterday. There were no
Yankees at Falmouth this morning; but just
as the cars are leaving, cayalryman has ar
rived at the crossing from Fredericksburg,
and reports that party cf Yankees have mede
their appearance on Tie Gorlh side Of. the riy.

truth or falsehood of this report, previous to

that they were scst.sretLend. stampeded, sew
