| 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. |

| Secretary of War |
| {There is no
confirmation of any trains being present and the track in the area
was destroyed by the landed force.} |
