FAIR GROUNDS, 24th.
I am unable to give you the information I would like
respecting things here. The State troops are constantly arriving. The Fair
grounds are to be made the place for a school of practice. William1
passed through to-day on his way home, and looks very well. He says there is
great uneasiness at Washington. His resignation was accepted, although they
desired him to remain. Major-General Lee is commander-in-chief of all the land
and naval forces in the State.
