Randolph's batteries of artillery, advanced upon Pohick Church by the telegraph road, followed, an hour later, by Gen. Jameson's brigade, and Company G, Lincoln Cavalry. Their instructions were for Gen. Richardson to divide his brigade at Potter's house, just beyond Piney Run, he to follow the telegraph road, and the other two regiments, with a battery and a company of cavalry, to cross to Accotink and reach Pohick Church by the Accotink and Pohick continuation of the Alexandria turnpike, so to time his march as to have both his columns reach the church at the same time. Gen. Johnson's brigade followed an hour later on the telegraph road as a reserve. Gen. Heintzelman himself left Headquarters at daylight, and overtook the advance where they were halted, a short distance on the north side of the church.

They returned with a report that the rebels, with four hundred cavalry and two regiments of infantry, were encamped near Pohick Church. General Heintzelman, believing he could disperse them, telegraphed to the Commanding General, and was authorized to prepare an expedition. On the 12th inst., at three A. M., Gen.

Colonel Berry's regiment of General Sedgewick's brigade, with Captain Todd's company of Lincoln Cavalry, marched at four A. M. on the old Fairfax road with orders to halt at the Accotink, and push forward a reconnoissance as far as the Pohick. Col. Berry seems to have mistaken Fairfax Station for either Springfield or Burke's Station; the latter is the more probable. He says he took the road toward Pohick Church; le should have followed the old Fairfax road as far as the Pohick. By taking the road toward Pohick Church, his scouts came in sight of our troops in advance of the church, and mistook them for the enemy drilling. Our skirmishers saw them, and reported the rebel cavalry and infantry on that road. Gen. Heintzelman advanced a force to meet them, but after sending forward no one could be d

Heintzelman himself left Headquarters at daylight, and overtook the advance where they were halted, a short distance on the north side of the church. It was soon ascertained that the rebel cavalry had left, having encamped at the church the night before. Our men advanced and occupied the ground, and sent out parties on the different roads. The regiments under Col. Hayman took the road to Colchester. There are no signs of the enemy having been recently in that vicinity, nor were there any indications of their occupying the opposite bank of the Occoquan at that point. Col.
