WasarnoresT, December 27.—The enemies of the colored people yesterday circulated a re iwrt of a negro riot in Alexandria on Christ mas day. The exact facts have now been as certained, and it proves that a number of ex- Confederate soldiers paraded the streets, hur rahing for Jeff. Davis and General Lee. They then proceeded to attack such negroes as came in their way, and, but for the intervention of the military, scenes similar to those in the New York drafting riot would have ensued.
