Rumored invasion

--A well authenticated rumor reached the city yesterday that the Federal troops at Fortress Monroe had taken possession of a portion of Mrs. Clopton's premises, near Hampton, for the alleged purpose of supplying themselves with fresh water.

The report that the Fredericksburg train had been interfered with at Acquia Creek was probably unfounded, as the train left Fredericksburg for Richmond at 4 o'clock.
