THE CONCENTRATION OF Tpoors AT WASH
iNGToN The Washington correspondent of
The Philadelphia Press writes: The arrival
of troops in his vicinity has given rise TO
exaggerated rumors Of the intended conccn-
tration Of n large military force of from 26,-
900 to 30. 600 at this point. The fact is,
that the number Of soldiers for some months
past has averaged only 1000 or 5000. and
that several companies ofthe Twelfth Infan-
try and few other regular troops have
been recently ordered here, the aggregate
being less than the usual assignment IL
is presumed the whole nu9ber in this city
and vicinity, when the arrangements are
completed, will not exceed 5000 men.
