The Empire City has arrived with the remainder of the 13th N. Y. Regiment. The 20th N. Y. Regiment leaves today, the 5th Regiment guarding the Railroad from Annapolis to Bladensburg. Major Stafford of the 6th N. Y. Regiment expected an attack on Camp Butler night before last, as a suspicious company known as the States Right Cavalry, had paraded this same day within four miles. The Major has obtained all the names but three. He refuses proffered aid from headquarters.
