In otir columns of this week twill
be found some further interesting
details of affairs at Washington City
and its neighborhood. A veil of ob
scurity however still rests on many
important particulars of jate. events
in and about that, place, which a lew
wrecks will doubtless disclose/ ’ The
late disgraceful disaster at Washing
ton, and cowardly surrender of A
lexandria appear to have excited in
the minds of ot*r citizens generally,
the mingled emotions of shame at
our apathy and false security * indig*
nation at the atrocity of the enemy*
and patriotic ardor and zeal for the
of the honor and safety
of our country, The Virginians
are crowding to the standard of their
■state with Unexampled, alaqrity,; arid
covering their capital and other Vul
nerable points with forces adequate
to the crisis
At Savannah a meeting lately took
place of the citizens, at which'was
displayed much patriotic feeling, and
resolutions wet*c entered into for im
mediate and extensive preparations
for the'defence of that place.
The citizens of Augusta much to
their honor,’ ;are / atso zealously cpn
trib\|trng p|j|ptmiary aid for the de
fence of Savannah- ‘ / /*
The people of New York are ex
hibiting an example of zeal, diligence
and liberality highly honorable to
themselves, and worthy of universal
imitation.’ Preparations are going
forward wrth astonishing rapidity,
aided by the exertions of
all classes of citizens.
The late reported battle of Gen/
frard with the British near Cham
plain wants confirmation. “It is pro
bable, howevCV, that a conflict will
soon take place between the armies
in that quarter, as the British land
forces are equal if not superior in
numbers to oars—Preyost commands :
in person. *

superiority of Champlain, as does
Chaunpey that of Ontario.
