McClellan had issued a general order against the performance of all labor on Sunday, or at least all unnecessary labor or unnecessary movements on that day. After a carefully extended observation on the Virginia side, a new and formidable battery was discovered which commands the Leesburg turnpike, seven miles from the Chain Bridge. The Federal pickets advanced a mile into Virginia, and the Confederates retreated before them towards Howard's and Arlington. On Wednesday last, the Confederates fired from an eminence at Great Falls at a body of Federals in Maryland, by which four were wounded. Some of the Confederates attempted to ford the river, but were repulsed by the sharp shooters, who killed a number. Gen.

Washington, Sept. 8. --Reports from various points on the Virginia side of the Potomac represent affairs as comparatively quiet during last night and this morning. The steamer Yorktown, (now the Patrick Henry,) is twelve miles above Newport News, awaiting an opportunity to run the blockade. The Confederate forces are within five miles of the President's House, and about three miles from Arlington Heights. At daylight, the relief guard of the Federals was fired on, near Hunter's Chapel. At sunrise two Federal companies were sent out to reconnoiter, and they discovered that the Confederates had taken possession of Ball's Cross Roads, having thrown forward two regiments during the night. The Confederates have three regiments posted along Little Creek, near Hunter's Chapel, with four brass howitzers drawn by men. They have no other artillery.
