Rumors.

Yesterday a report was circulated on the streets to the effect that Leesburg had been evacuated, that the Federal troops had recrossed into Maryland, and that there were indications of an outbreak in Maryland, which caused the Heltha at Washington to tremble in their shoes. Where this report originated, or upon what it was founded, we were enable to learn after the most diligent inquiry. We hope it may be correct, but are rather disposed to believe that it was started by some one with whom the wish was father to the thought.

Other rumors, wanting confirmation, and as little likely, to be correct, were in circulation, but we think it unnecessary to mention them in detail.
