iment returned from a scouting expedition, having been out some four days, the expedition being under the command of Col. Chas. C. Dodge. This expedition was accompanied by the battery attached to our regiment, consisting of two brass . This party of mounted men reached Zuni, Va., on the Blackwater river, about twenty-five miles from Suffolk, last evening about 9 o'clock, when they were bred into by a party of rebel infantry from the opposite side of the river, wounding one of our men named Brown, belonging to troop D, and occasioning a general stir throughout the battalion. The fire of the rebels was promptly returned by our men, and the howitzers batching forth their shower of grape and canister among the rebels, caused them to feel for their hiding places, not, however, until they had lost several of their men. After we had fired several rounds we returned to our camp, satisfied with one night's exploit. The troops at this place are now under command of Major General Peek,
McClellan (search for this): article 1
Latest from the North. The Northern papers of the 4th are almost destitute of news. Lincoln, Secretary Chase, and McClellan visited the battle field of Sharpsburg on the 2d. The two former returned to Washington the next day. The dispatches represent the Confederates to be entrenched at Bunker Hill, Winchester, and Martinsburg, but the net results are below the anticipated average. If these are really anxious for another forward to Richmond, let them go to work and send to Gen. McClellan his gained reinforcements. Let such of as boast of then hundreds of thousands of dollars encourage enlistments by offering handsome bounties and those who h-President Lincoln, accompanied by Gen. McClelland and other distinguished personages, came here by special train and proceeded at once up the Potomac towards Gen. McClellan's headquarters.

Berrs, Austin Flair. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. The Washington Star says that it is now known that Gen. Joe Johnston is between Culpeper and Warrenton with a force of not less than 20,000 men. Union residents of the place believe that he has nearer 10,000 men; but of the truth of this we shall know more in good time. Affairs in Washington. We take the following items from the Washington Star, of the 3d instant: The exact number of rebel prisoners, including the sick and wounded, taken by Col. McLean in his lat

As they cannot find a better position in that region of country for defence in a field fight, we take it for granted that they will give us battle there, if anywhere east of the fortifications of Winchester.

Latest from the North. The Northern papers of the 4th are almost destitute of news. Lincoln, Secretary Chase, and McClellan visited the battle field of Sharpsburg on the 2d. The two former returned to Washington the next day. The dispatches represent the Confederates to be entrenched at Bunker Hill, Winchester, and Martinsburg, though their pickets are in three miles of Harper's Ferry, supported by artillery. A letter says, notwithstanding the recently paroled Federal prisoners are required not to serve the United States in any capacity, yet that Government intends sending them to fight the Indians, and has called them to Washington for that purpose. --The Confederates have possession of Carrolton, on the Ohio river, 80 miles below Cincinnati. A dispatch from Louisville, Ky., Oct. 3d, says: The rebels began to fortify Frankfort, but are now represented as evacuating it. Few of the enemy are found in that direction.

Clellan's headquarters. From certain indications it is presumed that he will visit all our prominent military positions and hospitals in this vicinity before his return — a task which will occupy him until Friday. There is great activity both here and at Harper's Ferry, and it is expected that the cars will cross the new bridge to-morrow. There is evidence that "somebody will be hurt" before many days transpire. From many indications it is believed here in military circles that Gen. Banks will again assume his old command. Notwithstanding the popularity of Gen. Williams, every officer and man of the corps would hail such an event with acclamations, for none knew better his military ability than these. On Tuesday, a fugitive citizen of Winchester found his way into our lines. He reports that, according to the best information be could gather, the enemy were massed at Falling Waters and in the vicinity of Martinsburg; the for the place they were said to be fortifying w
