General D. H. Hill
Petersburg, Va.
 
   The force landed at White House {Richmond & York River RR} yesterday was about 6,000, infantry and cavalry. They brought two locomotives and full train of cars, which they at once put on the railroad track, and advanced to Tunstall's Station, 20 miles from the city. No news since. The train is a singular feature in this matter. It may mean real advance, or a purpose merely to produce that impression. Keep prepared for movement.
J. A. Seddon
Secretary of War
{There is no confirmation of any trains being present and the track in the area was destroyed by the landed force.}
