F. Miller, a German, lately employed | 38.2 clerk in Richmond, comes up as a passen- | ger, having left Richmona on the 10th instant, | and made his way tothe Rappshannoeck, which be crossed. He represents that the people in Richmond, even the most rampant secesh, are gloomy, and think that the Federals are about | to make a big strike some where. Every Conf+derate movement made is kept ms seeret as possibie, And are not noticed in the p=pers. Mr M. thinks that the Government is aware that there are many Unton men in the city, but they act so divereetly 2s to be seldom suspecied, and consequently bat few of them have laely been arrested. The news of tha pirate Alabsma’s captures received daily is eoing much to increase the confidence of se wh, and the Union men say that if shoe could’ be { captured it would have a great effect on the nerves of the :ebels. Mr. Miller says that there are but asmall number of troops inand around the city. From Richm« nd to the Ray pitannock the country ferms to be tripped of everything; nothing having been planted, and the slaves all haying been sent Scuth, or having run away. Longaitrect’s division passed through Rieh- mond several weeks ¢ince,in the night,and went South, and since then many troops have been arriving fromthe Rappahannock and de- parting forthe South and West. Lately allgmili- tary movemen‘s have been made during tht night, and not unfrequently doves a division KO through the city and but few citizens know the fact. Mr. Miller was on the Merrimac, No. °, several weeks since, and made a thorough in- pection of her. She carries only four lirze guns, and has eight port holes. The iron plating 01 her is four inches thick. She is so top-heavy that she requires a lighter on eaeh side to keep her overturning. Abont the last of Jan- unr e went to Fort Darling, with the lighters slongeide, amd at hist accounts she was tying withe fort. Secesh says that she will -oon mike her mark, and some are confident uhatshe Will deide the fase of the city. Mr. Miller crossed the Potomac afew days since, and came on board the Satelite, and ob- t. iaed a passage. ~ 220 Reported Rebel Attack on Romney.

A KUMOR FROM REGELDOM. Some of the newspaper fraternity last eye. ning sent North, from this ci a@ story alleg- ing that, from rebel source-, it is said in Wash- ington thet Gen. Banks his heen badly re- pulsed before Pert Hudson. We are very sure that the Government here | has no such information, and are inclined to 1 | i i Hl { i regard it as being simply a reha-<h of the some- time-since-exploded rebel rumor from the same quarter. If based upon anything else whatever, it must be on the probable efor: of some of our gunboats with Banks’ army to draw the fire cf the rebel batteries at Port Hudsoa, to get the range of their 8rmament prior to the combined attack which will toon be made on the rebels tacre. CAPTURES OF CONTRALANDISTS ON THR MISSISSIPPI RIVER, Cairo, Feb. 19.—Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary Nary: The steamers Rowena, White Cloud and Knapp have been seized A8 prizes by the gunboat New Era ator near Island No. 10, for containing contraband goods, such as quinine and morphine in large quantities, arms, Con- federate uniforms, army blankets, and other general merchandize and contraband of war. The White Cloud had on board a large rebel muil, containing important information. The steamer Home was seized by Admiral Porter, and sent up here from below. A. M.

A BUGABOO oTORY. {Correspondence of the Star.} Fairrax C.H., Va., Feb. 19, 1 We were startled from our quietude this forenoon by the srrival of an alleged deserter from the Sth Va, cavalry, who swears «by his beard” I presume that when he deserted from about Fredericks- burg, s week ago last Monday, flve whole rebel army corps—those of Jackson, the two Hills, Eweli’s and Jackson’s old corps—altl under Jackson's command—seventy thousand in all— had been ordered to get ready, with three day's cooked rations, for 3 movement hitherward, yia Culpeper Court House and Rappahan- nock Station. He says further, that Longstreet is at Fredericksburg. His story is worse than fishy, it seems to me; though it ia possible that about that time some portion of the far less than 70,000 troops then at Fredericksburg may have been moved South. *,* CONGRESSIONAL.
