duty on the Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad, about a mile from Baily's Cross Roads, towards Alexandria. Alexandria County, Va., August 26. --The alarm of yesterday, that caused a very general and instant turnout of nearly all the troops on this side, proves to have arisen from an attack of about 150 of the enemy, with two field-pieces, upon one of the Union picket guard squads. The enemy probably were not aware of being so close to our lines, as they retired in great haste back towards Vienna. They wounded a Union Captain in the leg, and took him and two of his men prisoners.--One other man who was with him escaped and gave the alarm. On the night before last they (the enemy) threw a six-pound shot into the camp of Col. Kerrigan, without, however, doing any damage. Gen. Rosencranz Addresses "the people." The following address has been issued by Gen. Rosencranz, commander of the Federal troops in Western Virginia, to the people of that section. It strikes us t

sh teacher, Garoia, and afterwards proceeded to Milan, where she became the pupil of Renconi. Her debut in opera was made at Marseilles, in the "Huguenots, " in the year 1845. She was immediately afterwards engaged at the celebrated theatre of La Scala, in Milan, where she gathered laurels from the most discriminating musical audience in the world, winning universal admiration by the simplicity and naturalness of her manner and the purity of her voice. The season of 1846 she passed at Vienna, and after having made the tour of the principal cities of Italy, made her first appearance in London in 1849. Two years later she left Europe for the United States, and arrived in the fall of 1851, making her first appearance in New York in a concert at Tripler Hall, where the Lafarge Hotel now stands. Her successful career in this country is well known. She seldom appeared in opera while in the United States, preferring to appear in concerts, following in this the example of her Swedish

or the advance. While the conflict was at its height, before Blackburn's ford, about 4 o'clock P. M., the enemy again displayed himself in force before Bonham's position. At this, Col. Kershaw, with four companies of his regiment, Second South Carolina, and one piece of Kemper's Artillery, were thrown across Mitchell's ford to the ridge which Kemper had occupied that morning. Two solid shot and three spherical case, thrown among them with a precision inaugurated by that artillerist at Vienna, effected their discomfiture and disappearance, and our troops in that quarter were again withdrawn within our lines, having discharged the duty assigned. At the close of the engagement before Blackburn's ford, I directed Gen. Longstreet to withdraw the 1st and 17th regiments, which had borne the brunt of the action, to a position in reserve, leaving Col. Early to occupy the field with his brigade and Garland's regiment.

There are strong detachments at Falls Church, at Vienna, at Fairfax, at Centreville, and at Germantown. The great Parrott gun, captured by the enemy at Bull Run, has been brought up by them to Bailey's Cross Roads, and was placed in a position there yesterday behind their entrenchments. It is not believed, however, that these preparations indicate any design of an immediate attack on Washington, but only a closer approach to it on all sides, in order to be ready for an attack if that measure is finally decided out The loan, Washington, A
