Making ready for the enemy.

--The Little Rock (Ark.) Journal says:

‘ There was considerable excitement in this city last Saturday and Sunday, caused by a rumor that General Fremont was coming down on us like an avalanche, with a million of Abolition hounds. Men were rubbing up their old shot-guns and rifles, and preparing for a sturdy defence, but the report turned out to be a hoax, and matters settled down to their usual equanimity.
