notorious ruffians of Means' party. The enemy's papers acknowledged that there entire force, of 150 men of the First Maryland and Means' company, were, all but forty, killed or captured, stating that our force was 2,000. Colonel Munford's entire force was 163 men, of whom but 123 were in the charge. On the morning of the 3d, General Fitz. Lee, pursuant to instructions, made a demonstration with his brigade and some horse artillery toward Alexandria, Hampton's brigade moving by way of Hunter's mill to the Leesburg turnpike below Dranesville, encamping near that place.

trong, several companies of cavalry and two guns of Kemper's battery, marched from his camp near Fairfax on a reconnoissance to Dranesville, where he learned that several hundred of the enemy had that day come up the Leesburg turnpike to near Hunter's mill. On the morning of the 17th, Gregg rode with a troop of horse to the Potomac, opposite Seneca creek, and reconnoitered. Returning, he marched by Hunter's mill to Vienna, on the Alexandria & Leesburg railroad. About 6 p. m., as he was movinHunter's mill to Vienna, on the Alexandria & Leesburg railroad. About 6 p. m., as he was moving off, the whistle of an approaching train was heard in the direction of Alexandria. He at once marched back, planted his two guns on a hill commanding a curve in the railroad, and placed his infantry and cavalry in support. As the train came round the curve, Kemper opened on it a rapid fire from his guns, which badly damaged the train and caused the Federals, the First Ohio, under Brig.-Gen. R. C. Schenck to escape from it and rapidly retreat. Owing to the lateness of the hour Gregg, could

That night the Federals recrossed the Potomac and encamped on the first terrace of Maryland heights. Ashby reported his loss as 1 killed and 9 wounded, and that he had captured 10 prisoners, besides a large number of blankets, overcoats and a dozen muskets. In concluding, he reported: I cannot compliment my officers and men too highly for their gallant bearing during the whole fight, considering the bad arms with which they were supplied and their inexperience. On the 18th of October, Brig.-Gen. I. B. Richardson, reconnoitered to Pohick church and Accotink village, drove in the Confederate pickets, and on his return advanced his own pickets to Windsor's hill, some 5 miles southeast of Alexandria. On the 20th, Major Whipple made a reconnoissance from Dranesville; near Hunter's mill had a skirmish with Confederate pickets, also one near Thornton Station.

More of the Vienna affair.[Correspondence of the Washington Star.] Alexandria, Va., June 19. 12 M --I learn from a person from the neighborhood of Vienna, who lives in Fairfax county, that the Disunion troops have burnt two passenger and baggage cars, and about twenty house and gondola cars, from Leesburg as far down as Hunter's Mill, (eighteen miles from Alexandria,) on the Alexandria, Loudoun, and Hampshire Road. It is also reported that the same troops have burnt the cars, stationhouse, and water stations at Vienna, since the fight there. There is reason to believe that the lines of the Disunion troops extend from the neighborhood of Occoquan as far as Centreville, and that they are entrenching with heavy guns in the neighborhood of Fairfax Station, three and a half miles from Fairfax Court House, and fourtee
