Halleck to be relieved of his command altogether. Col. Geary, Acting Brigadier-General of troops at Leesburg, Va., made a personal reconnoissance yesterday as far as Carter's Mills. The trail of the retreating enemy was blackened with the ruins of granaries, ashes of hay and grain-stacks, fences, etc. He found the bridge over Goose Creek had been burned. The rebels have completely fallen back. The command continues to make captures of rank secessionists. The loyal feeling is growing, and many persons come forward to take the oath of allegiance daily. Col. Geary, with some of his officers and a detachment of the First Michigan cavalry, rode to Ball's Bluff to-day and buried the whitened bones of the brave Union soldiers who fell upon that field in October last. Impressive remarks preceded this humane act, and a monu

ntil four o'clock P. M., almost without intermission. During the early portion of the day the brigade commanded by Colonel Gregg was alone engaged. During the day, General Kilpatrick's command came up, and, at a late hour, the regular cavalry, which had been sent up the Snicker's Gap road, made a sudden dash upon the left flank of the rebels, creating quite a panic. As the regulars passed up the Snicker's Gap pike, a squadron of the First cavalry was placed to guard the bridge across Goose Creek, The main column had been gone only a short time, when the guard was attacked by a superior force, and driven away, when the bridge was set on fire.
