the 17th New York regiment, who commands the pickets of that regiment on the Leesburg Turnpike beyond Falls Church, reports that a body of rebel cavalry made their appearance at 1 o'clock, to-day, within a mile of his outpost. A detachment was sent out to effect their capture, but they succeeded in making their escape. Capt. Mundee, Assistant Adjutant General for Gen. Smith's Division, with a small escort, advanced on the road leading from Lewinsville, to within a short distance of Vienna, on a foraging expedition. The result was the bringing off of about 60 loads of hay and 250 bushels of oats. Everything in that direction was reported quiet. The party on the reconnoissance of General McCall, which advanced to Drainesville on Saturday, returned this morning, the object of the expedition having been accomplished, and valuable information obtained. The main body remained at Drainesville on Tuesday. The engineers, under an escort, proceeded to the right as far as t

on the Londoun and Hampshire road were running continually, and at all hours the scream of the steam, whistle, and the rumble of heavy trains was heard. The citizens who remained in Fair fax became badly scared, supposing the Yankees were about to advance upon the town. Several took refuge in our lines, and some ladies asked protection from our officers. Instead of an advance, it is more than probable there was a retreat. For some time there has been a large force between Lewinsville and Vienna, and I am of the opinion that this force has been taken back, and that the trains at last night were top the purpose. As there are no indications of an advance, but, on the contrary, every sign of a retreat, that seems the most plausible solution of the activity observable last night. This morning the 2d company of the Washington Artillery returned from picket duty on the outposts, and the 1st company, Captain squires, was sent to take its place. The 3d company, Captain Miller, has re

Hancock's command, on suspicion, ofVienna, was arrested yesterday afternoon by a squad of men attached to Gen. Hancock's command, on suspicion, of furnishing aid and comfort to the enemy. Lloyd has been allowed to pass through our lines with impunity for some time past, but certain circumstances have lately transpired which warranted his arrest on the above named charge. He was sent to Washington. A Contraband from Bull Run. A negro who escaped from Bull Run the day previous, came within our lines at Vienna yesterday. The fellow ran away from his master, an officer in a South Carolina Regiment, to avoid a flogging.

Go search your army. Go to the van of that army. Go to the situations most exposed, and most dangerous. Go to the Navy — and you will search in vain for any of those valorous "Wide Awakes." I do not say this by way of discouragement. If the war is necessary, and it is now upon us, in God's name let us prosecute it.--Instead of that, what is the spectacle? What will be the history of the next six months?--We will commence with the glorious victory of Bethel, from there we will go to Vienna, and from there to Bull Run, thence to Chickamacomac, and from there to the last place, the name or which I don't remember, and there you will find all these splendid victories that not only will make us renowned at home, but renowned abroad. What did I hear to-day as coming from the Commander-in Chief of the United States forces--from Gen. McClellan? That he dare not fight on the Potomac. So that we shall have no more battles, I trust, this fall. We have now got in the field some fi

Kemper's Artillery. Among those who have left their State and homes to join the Southern army, and are entitled to a share of the contributions and comforts that are now being supplied by our liberal and kind-hearted Southern men, few save a greater claim than the men of Kemper's Artillery. They are composed chiefly of the roughs of Alexandria; poor men, of ruble means, but strong nerve. They were at Vienna when Gen. Schenck and his Ohio troops were stopped in their railroad excursion by the shots of Kemper's Artillery.--They were at the battles of Bull Run and Manassas. Kemper's Artillery claim to have shot the first gun on the 18th and the last on the 21st, and at least 300 Yankees are said to have fallen by the hands of the 84 men of this company alone. The kind ladies of Warrenton have prepared a suit of clothes each, for these brave men, but there are many other things required by them — woollen socks, blankets, and other comforts which we are sure will be thought of by

Washington, Nov. 8. --On Wednesday a party of sixty rebel cavalry made their appearance at Burk's Station, on the Orange and Alexandria railroad, fourteen miles from Alexandria. On the Federal troops advancing, the enemy retired. A reconnaissance in force from Gen. Smith's division was yesterday made in the neighborhood of Vienna. Two miles beyond that place the rebel picket guard were forty strong, beyond which they had regiments in reserve. The wife of Dr. Hunter, who was taken prisoner on Wednesday, came within the lines of Gen. Smith's division to-day and obtained a pass to Washington. Two privates belonging to a Pennsylvania Regiment, and commented to Gen. M division, were that in mistake on Wednesday night, and by their own comrades, while on picket duty near Pobick Creek.

s correspondent of the Independence Belge professes to have reliable information that the Mexican expedition has ulterior objects, and that if the "Southern Confederacy holds its own till January, France and England will recognize it, and break the blockade" This statement however, is pronounced in England to be utterly untrue. It is reiterated that France has opened negotiations with Austria for the cession of Venetia, and that the Duke of Magenta has been entrusted with the mission to Vienna. French troops have occupied the valley of Dappen, and the Swiss Government has sent a commissioner to the spot, and resolved to protect and demand satisfaction for the violation of Swiss territory.

retire from a post of active duty. Gen. Butler was another of the popular military leaders of the North, but, after the battle of Bethel, he seems to have gradually collapsed, and finally extinguished himself in a blaze of glory at Hatteras. That vaunted triumph proved as barren of substantial honor to the General as of practical results to the Government, and Butler has been exiled to a department in Massachusetts. The redoubtable Schenck has never been heard of since the smash up at Vienna; Gen. Cadwallader has passed into the shades of forgetfulness, and as for Gen. Patterson, since the battle of Manassas, none name him but to course him. Gen. McDowell, a veteran regular chieftain, who once stood so high in Federal estimation as to be entrusted with the leading of the "Grand Army" in its first great trial of arms with the rebels, has been buried in the deep bosom of the ocean of oblivion.
