had reached them that Confederate troops to the number of 1,000 are in position at that point. It was currently expected that there would be an attack by 4,000 Confederate troops on Alexandria during the night. Several vessels went to Fortress Monroe to-day, carrying hundreds of thousands of cartridges and other war requisites. The supply in that direction is now ample.

ay arrived at a place of safety, where a letter was written by a lady who was in the party, from which I am permitted to make these statements. The letter betokens great distress, and the relation of it is so heart-rending, that I will make no further comment. We are here furnished with the brutality of these wretches who make plunder an object of their best ambition — and who hearken not to the cries of distress. I learn, from an equally reliable source, that an officer from Fortress Monroe, with a body of soldiers, went over to Hampton a day or two ago, and broke into the store of a respectable citizen of the place, who was in the store at the time, and who, immediately on the officers' entrance, shot him dead on the spot. He was immediately swung up by the soldiers — Further particulars of this affair I did not learn. The trains for the past day or two have brought new accessions to our forces, and negro laborers have come from a distance to assist in the work of o

Most of our men were under arms all night. About sunrise, the 3d Regiment, embracing Capt. Walker's Virginia Lite Guard and other companies from Richmond, marched into Yorktown. They were covered with dust and somewhat fatigued by the march over that sandy road from Williamsburg. They had received orders to march after the information of the advance of the enemy had been brought to this place. They left Williamsburg about 1 o'clock last night. The Richmond boys are all well — some of them had a few blisters on their feet. I suppose you have heard before this time of the daring exploit of a detachment of the sixteen Howitzers, who took some stores the other night from the very hands of the enemy and almost from the very months of the guns at Fortress Monroe. It was an expedition that would have done credit to McCullough's Rangers. I would give you the names of those sixteen young men, but soon the names of them all will be recorded as heroes in the revolution. Scribo.
