Richmond, Va., Feb. 28.--All kinds of unheard of and improbable rumors were current yesterday.
In every community there is a certain number of idle men, who, having nothing else to do, live by setting the apprehensions of other and better people afloat.
Richmond seems to have come in for more than her due share of this class of people.
By street rumor yesterday we learn that the Yankees have landed 17,000 men at Newport News, within a few days past, and that the same psalm-singing, godly set of people had begun to cross the Potomac to take Winchester.
When the truth comes to be known, it will, no doubt, be ascertained that the Yankees have entertained the idea of doing neither one nor the other of the deeds rumor ascribed to them.
