McClellan shortly concludes to pay them a visit there in force; designing to keep what troops they have at that point sick there, until another forward movement of McClMcClellan may threaten them, as his latest movement compelled the evacuation of Falls Church and Vienna. Leesburg Evacuated by the enemy. As we go to press to-day accounts reach the Star office of the evacuation of Leesburg by the enemy. Some days since we took occasion to explain that such a step on Beauregard and Johnston's part would sooner or later become a military necessity, in view of Gen. McClellan's evident preparation for a general advance. With McC.'s advance located at Lewinsville and Minor's hill, Leesburg was clearly untenable by the enemy. A telegram from Gen.
