Nowhere are his operations aggressive, looking to new acquisitions of ground, except in Virginia. This is the State most honored by his attentions. Virginia seems to be the chief object of his dread.--She is evidently regarded as the head and front of the secession movement. We are menaced at Norfolk. Hampton is taken, and Newport News occupied. The York River is constantly threatened. Ships are continually presenting themselves at Acquia Creek. The whole line of the Potomac is held under strict and jealous espionage.
