Army of the Potomac.[our own correspondent.] Fairfax Oct. 2, 1861. The Federals continue to advance cautiously upon our lines, and how have considerable force in Falls Church, on Munson's hill, Mason's hill, and in the vicinity of Annandale. Our pickets have fallen back from the village of Falls Church, which is reported destroyed, us large volumes of smoke have been seen rising from the valley in which it lies. They have advanced also nearly to Annandale, and are now within eight hAnnandale, and are now within eight hundred yards of it. This morning a party of scouts came on the hill opposite the village and fired on our videttes, who were posted to watch their approach. The distance between them was so great that no damage was done. Early in the morning a company of infantry appeared in a corn-field on an eminence, but retired immediately upon a sight of our pickets. Along the line from Lewinsville to Springfield the Federals seem to be advancing slowly and cautiously, scouring the woods thoroughly in e

Beside him, also in citizen's clothes, rode Brig. Gen. Smith. Immediately following were Generals Johnston and Beauregard, and after them came Col. John S. Preston, Col. Thomas Preston, Col. Davis, Col. Randal, Prince Polignac, Capt. Ferguson, of Gen. Beauregard's staff, Capt. Peyton, Lt. Lane, son of Jo. Lane, of Oregon, Lt. Twiggs, and "Your Own. " Following was the Adam's Troop, dressed in a neat grey uniform, and presenting a truly imposing appearance. The ride through the country, although an interesting one, showed few incidents that would bear recording. On every hand could be seen the regard and the respect the volunteers have for President Davis, and it was evident that the fact of his being in person on the field; his visiting the soldiers in their camps; his seeming solicitude for their comf

The balloon goes up every evening, apparently from Mason's hill, and remains about two hours at a time. The usual hours of Professor Lowe's exhibitions are between four and six in the evening, although, by way of variety, he sometimes makes a morning trip in the pursuit of his serial fancies.

Preparations were made to remove in the morning, but when morning came the Yankees were upon him, and he barely escaped, leaving his property behind him. Among the many sufferers now in Fairfax is Dr. James A. Harrold, formerly of Murfreesboro', N. C., who, with his family, are stopping at the hotel. For some time past he has preached in Washington city, but was driven from there on account of his evident Southern sympathies. With a few articles of furniture, and his valuable library, Dr. Harrold took a house in Falls Church, where he has held service for some time, and has been the means of doing much good to our cause by his example of patriotic devotion to his country, and of his love of liberty, and hatred of tyranny. The enemy again pursued him, and in their recent raid upon Falls Church, destroyed, probably, his house, library,

he would gladly lead into any danger they may have to encounter. God bless and protect our first President! is the prayer of every soldier he has passed to-day. The Federals have commenced the business of negro-stealing in good earnest, and for the purpose of speculation, unless prevented through fear of some law. A negro man escaped from them a day or two ago, and says that he heard that it was the intention of the Yankees to collect as many blacks as possible, send them privately to Cuba, and sell them for what they would bring. There are schooners and sloops enough, with practical commanders, to engage in this contraband trade, on account of the large commissions they would receive. Many of the negroes now in the enemy's hands are endeavoring to escape. Night before last, a man by the name of Dolan, living near Falls Church, seeing he was in danger of being within the Yankee lines, determined to remove his negroes to Fairfax.

The day was remarkably beautiful — cool, pleasant, and hazy--one of those delightful Indian-summer days that we so much admire. The air was warm, and the sky a deep leaden color, while here and there were patches of white clouds, which seemed pendant from it like lichens from the old cypress of our Southern swamps. The escort consisted of several army officers, and of the Adam's Troops, of Natchez, Miss., Captain Martin. In the advance was the President, dressed in deep-gray citizen's clothes, and a beaver hat.

their comfort and safety, and the respectful manner in which he returned the salute of the humblest soldier, produced a deep impression upon those gallant men who have taken their lives in their hands and are enlisted in the defence of the country of which he is Chief Magistrate. There were no vulgar crowds to stare at him like some wild beast, no toadyisms or foolish parades at his approach, but a quiet look, a simple bow, or a military salute, indicated the feeling that prompted it. At Gen. Bonham's a few hundred men had gathered hastily, and as the cortege passed three hearty cheers were given for President Davis. In return, his Excellency raised his hat, and bowing gracefully, said: "Gentlemen — I thank you heartily, and I hope that sooner or later you may have an opportunity of meeting the Yankees, and that you may return home with a good account of yourselves." Three cheers were then given for Gen. Beauregard and three for Gen. Johnston. In the evening the President retur
