A rumor was received at headquarters to-day, to the effect that a battle was fought at Romney, the county seat of Hampshire county, resulting in the defeat of the Lincolnites and the taking of a number of prisoners, amongst whom were a Colonel and two of his staff. The report has not been confirmed, but is generally credited.
