No Need of Hnsty Movement and Or

To-day.

The expected orders for the move
ment of the Virginia National Guard
to the border did not arrive yesterday,
nor did any indication pointing to the
possible date OF the troops transfer
develop. Since the reason for order
ing the men to the border Ia not a war
measure, and therefore requires no
hasty movment the orders have likely
been sent through the regular mails
