Alexandria is seized upon, and all the approaches and heights surrounding are carefully manned and strengthened. Harper's Ferry is threatened from Pennsylvania. Wheeling is in the hands of the Unionists; and Federal aid and support is supplied to all the disaffected counties in the Northwest; and it is reported that forces from Ohio have penetrated as far as Grafton every vessel that passes; and there, too, our troops are spoiling for a fight. His heavy column at Alexandria does not dismay our men who have planted themselves a few miles distant in his road, ready to give him battle in all his force.

The Wigfall Rangers, formed of citizens of Maryland, joined in the cause of the Southern Confederate States, leave our city this morning for Harper's Ferry, to join the battalion composing the "Maryland Brigade."
