October 4.
The Federal forces to the number of four hundred occupied Pohick church, sixteen miles from Alexandria, on the Fairfax road, Virginia.
A force of rebel cavalry, which had held the place, retired hastily with the loss of several wounded.
A reconnoissance was then made toward Occoquan, during which important discoveries were made.
A balloon was seen passing over Washington, and it was thought by many to have started from the rebel camp, on an aerial reconnoissance; but as it subsequently descended in Maryland it proved to be the air ship of La Mountain, which had ascended from the Union camp of the Potomac.
It appears that when La Mountain rose to a certain distance he cut the rope which connected his balloon with the earth, regardless of the danger, and soared up to an elevation of a mile and a half, and got directly over the rebel lines.

June 27.
A squadron of Scott's Nine Hundred cavalry, under Major Remington, on their way to Centreville, Va., this morning, encountered, near Fairfax, the Sixth Virginia cavalry, and dashed at them with the sabre.
The Major made two charges, and drove the rebels for three miles into a wood, and there encountered a superior force, that checked him with the fire of carbines.
The fight, from the beginning to the end, was fierce.
Major Remington, after having had his horse shot twice, cut his way out and made his escape with eighteen men. Eighty were reported missing.
Among them were Captain Dagwell, Captain Campbell, and Lieutenant Hazleton.
The companies were B and C.
Carlisle, Pa., was abandoned by the Union forces, and soon after occupied by the rebels advancing on Gettysburgh.--A large number of rebel cavalry under command of Fitz-Hugh Lee, made a dash into Annandale, Va., capturing several sutlers who were in the vicinity, and burning a number of hospital stores and
