The Yankees in Western Virginia. Monroe County, Va., April 11, 1862.
Rumor is again rife that the Yankees are, or have been, in Monroe county, near Pack's Ferry.

The most reliable report is that 75 crossed over the river and came to a church in that neighborhood, while 300 were encamped on the river side a few miles distant.

On our part, no movement was made.
