"Johnson & Browning's Yankee Traveller." We are constantly receiving letters from various parts of the State as to the agents of this notorious concern. One of them, (we learn from a letter now before us,) calling himself H. M. Smith, and professing to be an agent for the above house, passed through Spotsylvania last winter en route for Fredericksburg. He passed through the same county about two weeks ago, destined, he said, for the same place. He is believed, from various circumstances, to be a spy. Too much vigilance can not be exercised at present in the observation of such characters.

War vessels off Aquia Creek. --We learn from the Fredericksburg Recorder that on Tuesday morning, about 8 o'clock, the steamer Mount Vernon, mounting eight guns, came up Aquia Creek within three hundred yards of the wharf, and anchored. Her port holes were opened, and the guns run out, but just then a tree concealing a heavy Columbiad was felled to the ground, and displayed the monster in all its beauty. At the sight of this, the steamer rounded to, and went up the stream. While this was going on two war steamers were anchored in the river, just opposite the wharf, all of which left together. Each vessel was well filled with armed men. The news of this affair occasioned great excitement in Fredericksburg, and armed men hurried towards the Crook from all directions ready for a fight if any hostile demonstration was made by the steamers.
