movement of Federal troops. A correspondent of the New York Express, after stating that there will probably be no immediate advance on Manassas Junction or Aquia Creek, proceeds to say: About 14,000 troops are collecting on the Pennsylvania line, including the Fort Sumter force, Capt. Doubleday, a body of U. S. engineers the enemy to treat or fight, as Harper's Ferry and Manassas Junction are essential to the safety of the forces at Charlottesville, Culpeper, Fredericksburg and Aquia Creek. If these be lost, the rapid movement of three such armies as those approaching from the West, the North and the Potomac, would render it impossible to maintaio battle, it will take a little more time for the complete perfecting of such plans and arrangements as may be thought necessary. The landing of a force at Aquia Creek, for the capture of the formidable battery there, is said to have been abandoned, as General Scott does not think the object desired would be worth the risk run

Returned home. --The R. L. I. Blues, who have been on duty for several weeks past in the vicinity of Aquia Creek and the enemy's cruisers, having been ordered back to this post, returned by the Fredericksburg route yesterday, under the gallant Capt., O. J. Wise. The Blues looked "none the worse for wear" on account of their exposure on the tented field. We believe they were marched away at such short notice that they never yet have been mustered regularly into service. If so, that formality will now be complied with.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in King George county. Port Conway,Va., June 6. The roar of Federal guns, distinctly heard throughout the limits of our county in their attacks upon the battery at Aquia Creek, during three successive days of last week, has had the effect of arousing whatever of slumbering patriotism there may have been in our midst. Since the first engagement at that point, numbers have withdrawn their names from the militia roll and entered the ranks of the volunteers. A new volunteer company, raised under the auspices of E. Poinee H. Tayloe, Esq., will meet at our Court-House to-day for organization. Mr. T., it is understood, will be chosen captain. Our Potomac border is constantly menaced with invasion from the Northern forces. War steamers are continually anchoring off our shores, greatly to the annoyance of citizens resident immediately upon the banks of the river. A number of armed troops landed from one of these steamers l

Alexandria, June 7.--The U. S. steamer Reliance arrived off this harbor about noon today, and transferred the Lieutenant commanding to the Washington steamboat. She brings news from Fort Washington that four slaves had sought refuge there from Virginia, who state that the Confederates at Aquia Creek have so far only used rifled field-pieces, which they have used at various points, changing them according to the fire of the United States vessels. They have not yet used their battery of four thirty-two pounders, which is masked behind an old fish-house outside of the range of the vessel's guns. A yawl boat which has been carrying letters between Maryland and Virginia has been captured. The fugitives had been engaged throwing up earthworks. From the confidence expressed by t

nists are strong and gaining in Frederick, Maryland. The Unionists there are quaking with apprehension of an advance from Point of Rocks, three miles distant. The feeling of the Marylanders is indicated by the fact that they will, at all hazards, continue to furnish food to the Confederate forces at Harper's Ferry and Point of Rocks. The concentration of artillery at Harper's Ferry, either indicates a retreat or an advance via Point of Rocks. It is rumored that the batteries at Aquia Creek have been reinforced by three thousand additional troops. Important military movements are on foot at Fortress Monroe. The Georgetown pickets were fired on last night. It is understood that the Government will make no further requisitions for troops. Senators and Representatives are arriving here.
