JUNE 25th.—The excitement has subsided. No doubt small detachments of the enemy were seen at the places indicated, and Gen. Elzey (who some say had been drinking) alarmed the Governor with a tale of horror. The reports came through Gen. Winder’s detectives, one-half of whom would rather see the enemy here than not, and will serve the side that pays most. Yet, we should be prepared.
I saw an indorsement by the President to-day, that foreigners should give guarantees of neutrality or be sent out of the city.
Nothing from Lee.
