The Star says, the
Secretary of War has the following, taken from the special correspondence of
the Baltimore American: The divisions of Franklin and Sedgewick [sic],
numbering about 20,000 men, have been landed at West Point, 20 miles above
Williamsburg, and the head of York river; and the division of Gen. Porter is
now embarking on steamers for the same destination, together with the Rhode
Island and other batteries; and the river, from Yorktown up, is lined with
stores and transports. No doubt is
entertained but that they will intercept and cut off the rebels, unless they
escape across the James river.
