Arrival of troops at Alexandria.the Potomac light boats burnt.rumors from Washington, &c. Alexandria, April 24.-- A company of Cavalry from Rappahannock county, 80 strong, arrived here to-day; also, the Loudoun Guard, from Loudoun county. The light boats on the Potomac have been burnt by citizens of Virginia and Maryland. The steamer Keystone State, on her return to Philadelphia, passed down the river this morning. It is said that no troops have yet moved from Annapolis. Among the reports from Washington is one that four regiments have been raised in St. Louis for Lincoln. It is also said that five regiments went to sea from New York for Annapolis, in large vessels. There is no communication with Baltimore by mail, the Federal Government having possession of the Washington and Baltimore Railroad. Gazette.

arted to circulate them in all directions, as we have no Sunday mails. J. T. Logan, Deputy Sheriff, is out with men to search for them. They will, doubtless, be arrested, as they did not probably get out much before daylight, or the Night-Watch would have captured them — the Night-Watch having been discharged about 3½ o'clock. They had been working at the bars for some time, as part of the cut iron only was newly cut, the other part being rusty. They sawed from underneath the iron, so that it would not be noticed. The Rockbridge Rifles left early this morning. I understand that the farmers along the road, through the Valley, have hauled large quantities of corn for the horses of the companies, passing free of charge, and offer it freely and willingly. Also, provisions are hauled out to the men. Abe Lincoln can never whip such a people; for there is too much of the right spirit in them to become slaves or mercenaries to tyranny. No other stirring news to-day. Pen

l left Weldon, N. C., yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, to the number of 450, under the leadership of Col. M. L. Bonham, late a representative in Congress from the State of South Carolina. Col. Bonham is a brother of one of the Texan heroes who fell with Crockett, Bowie and others, defending the Alamo from the Mexicans during the Texan revolution, and he and his "boys" may be confidently calculated on to give a good account of themselves when brought face to face with the hired mercenaries of Lincoln who are now making attempts to subjugate this free land. The South Carolinians will go into camp at the Central Fair Grounds immediately on their arrival here, which was expected to take place yesterday, via the Petersburg Railroad. P. S.--The South Carolina troops arrived here at 6 o'clock, in the Petersburg cars, reaching that city via Norfolk Road. Gen. Borham's headquarters will be established in Richmond. The troops belong to the 1st Regiment of South Carolina volunteers, and we

Arrival of guns, &c. --A number of first class cannon, Columbiads, Dahlgreen guns &c., of large calibre, arrived in this city yesterday via the Danville Railroad. A number of the pieces were mounted. They came from the Portsmouth Navy-Yard, and bore with them evidence of Black Republican vandalism in the nails that Lincoln's myrmidon had thrust into the touch-holes. The Norfolk Railroad brought the pieces as far as Petersburg, and it was deemed best to continue them in the same cars up to the Junction on the South-Side Road, as it would have been hazardous to have attempted to convey them across the bridge spanning the Appomattox at Petersburg. The same train brought back the guns sent down from Richmond last Sunday morning there being enough at the Navy-Yard for defences in that neighborhood and elsewhere. The State steamer Empire, Lieut. J. F. Milligan commanding, arrived in this port yesterday, having in tow the barge "Superior," loaded with ordnance and ordnance

d forces expressed the highest confidence in the loyalty of Tennessee to the Southern cause, and in the chivalry of her people. These gentlemen represent that a great panic prevails in Washington among the barbarians — rulers and subjects. Lincolnis, they say, in effect, a prisoner in the Federal City. He distrusts the men enlisted to guard the capital — certainly all the levies of the District. He fears they will desert as soon as the Virginia flag is borne towards the District by a bove in cooperation in the Senate Chamber ! The White House is in the guardianship of such angels of the Black Republican heaven as Cassius M. Clay and Jim Lane,the Kansas cut-throat, with a body of his Kansas ruffians. With these protectors, Mrs.Lincolnand little Bob O'Lincoln sleep tolerably soundly, as women and children do in the cavern of bandits to whom they are allied. But the Old Ape, it is said, dare not trust himself even with such guardians. He sleeps at houses of friends — moving f<

es given them by our submissionists, that the Border States might be retained. But the uprising of the people throughout these States against the proclamation of Lincoln,has disabused them of that hallucination. They see now that even Maryland is for secession; but it is their intention to detach that State from the South, at alleavened the lump in Baltimore the other day.--It is the spirit of the old cavaliers burning in the bosoms of their sons that now rises up to resist the cohorts of Lincoln. The loss of such a population to the South would be a loss surpassing calculation. There is a motive selfish to Virginia, which, though all unworthy of mentaste to capture the foe himself. This very moment ought to see our long-range cannon planted on the heights of Arlington, and the bayonets of our legions on the Long Bridge. Not another week should pass over our heads without witnessing the capture of Scottand Lincoln,and leading them in triumph through the streets of Richmond.

McMullin said that he had been a candidate for Congress, but now he was a candidate for Abe Lincoln's scalp! Col. Martin said that he had been a candidate for re-election to Congress — thae pills to the people here — now he wanted to give doses of blue pills of a different kind to Abe Lincoln and his Black Republican myrmidons. Col. Dunn, Mr. Richmond, W. Burton, Esq., and Mr. Humes,n have volunteered. The ladies are busily engaged in making clothes for them. At night, Abe Lincoln was burned in effigy at the Court-House.

Commander Joseph Myers. U. S. N. --In noticing the resignation of Capt. Myers, of this city, of the late "United" States Navy tendered to Lincoln on the 22d of April, an error was committed in saying that Capt. M. had been connected with the Navy "for nearly thirty-five years." He was, we learn, connected with the naval service for nearly forty-seven years, and during that long period rendered good service to his country, as the records show. Lincoln must be small potatoes indeed, when n connected with the Navy "for nearly thirty-five years." He was, we learn, connected with the naval service for nearly forty-seven years, and during that long period rendered good service to his country, as the records show. Lincoln must be small potatoes indeed, when grey-haired veterans of the Army and Navy quit in disgust at his impudent assumptions and unwarrantable assaults on the constitutional liberties of the people whom he disgraces in pretending to represent as head of the nation.

seems that the late Commodore at the Portsmouth Navy-Yard and the valiant President of the "Old Wreck," are both in the habit of "keeping their spirits up by pouring spirits down." The Norfolk correspondent of the Petersburg Expresssays: "The Commodore was so drunk as to be incapable of any duty, and had to be borne to the ship on a litter. Nearly every officer, it is reported, was having a high old time. It seems we have a swilling set opposed to us, even those filling the highest stations. A gentleman arrived here this morning, who, with several others, was arrested while passing through Washington, for being Southerners, and taken into the presence of the august Baboon. He declares that Lincoln was so drunk that he could scarcely maintain his seat in the chair, and it was notorious in Washington that he had been in a state of beastly intoxication for more than thirty-six hours. The man is scared nearly to death, and few people in that city are in any better condition."
