EDITOR OF JOURNAL Nothing transpir-
ing. that was reliable and interesting, until
within a few days past have boon compel
led TO postpone my letters to you until some
thing turned up.
Yesterday the Inland jth regiments report
cd themselves at Chain Bridge, and last night
wc had the pleasure ola visit from old friends
IN both. who were invited to " tea and to
the shelter of our tents for the night but
am afraid their SAUNDERS we've somewhat dis
turbed, as orders came, about eleven, for us
10 be In readiness to march at a moments no
;ico. The notice followed aud our brigade
moved towards Falls Church. in Virginia. 49,
To-day orders came for three days rations to
be sent to them. The right and middle por-
ton Of the army of The Potomac made stimuli
taneously grand advance during the night,
and the enemy reheated before them. Our
forces to-day occupy Muuson's Hill and Falls
Church. The national banner floats over
both. The enemy have fallen back towards
Fairfax Court House where it is expected we
shall have a uictorious battle. 1t was with
pleasure that our men greeted the news Of
the advance of the army. The inactivity Of
the army Of the Potomac has at last been end
ed. We are on The move and you may be
assured it means something II has been
progno, ticated that when Mcclellan moves
and strikes, it will be death blow to the Sc
cessiunists. So, instead of being compelled
to write another editorial on our defeat, you
may expect the glorious chance Of publishing
and circulating our victorious advances. Only
rumors reach us in respect to our loss, which
by the way is very small, at the occupation
Of Falls Church, and can give nothing re-
liable.
Quite severe mistake happened to our
men, near Falls Church last night. Most of
the particulars | had from Capt. Randall. 1t
seems that our regiment was advancing over
hill, and was last going down the other
side. when they came into contact with por-
ton OF the Cameron Dragons" "a regi-
ment of cavalry,) who were ascending the
hill each thinking the other party rebels,
they went into an engagement. Our regi-
ment killed one man and wounded six OF
eight, besides killed seven horses. The cav
airy fred too high and not man in our re-
giment was wounded. IL also seems that the
Col. of the Dragons exceeded his orders
and instead of occupying the position assign
ed him, he made an advance. lie will bt

Perhaps it would be interesting for youl
readers to receive description of the 4th and
5th Vermont regiments. Both have the re-
gulaton hat Tho Attn have the blouse, ter

the "sarrDd soil. '-s1Crcd indeed now through
that baptism of heroic blood which wcnar ionily
hope will, in the appointed time and way of Prov
idcnco, cleanse away the guilt of years, and re-
store perchance the Mother Of Presidents again,

constellation.
But not TO weary your readers | will return 10
the plain realities ot our first evening IL was
dark before it was decided that we should cucamp
for the night, when % few tents were pitched, and
those who had departed for the night 10 rest with
friends in other regiments were called in, and we
received our first cartridges, and, according 20
orders, loaded our pieces aud slept upon our
arms. Nearly all the men Ut for service IN the
Second and Third aud other regiments, [ know
not how many in lumber, were out through the
night and yesterday, aud are still out.
During Saturday night a regiment Of Pennsy-
wanna cavalry who went out contrary TO orders,
were fired upon by some of our troops. killing and
womdmg several OF them. The Couone is un-
der arrest for his conduct. Yesterday, SO far as
we can learn, the enemy were being driven back
towards Manassas and their line was reported
broken at one point, and their whole column from
the Upper Potomac 20 below Washington driven
back, but there are so many conflicting accounts
that all seems uncertain From the wounded
brought in, however. and the general preparations
made, there is little doubt but that there is
severe conflict going on and that thus far the rebels
are second best. You will doubtless learn results
from other sources sooner and more correctly than
from me. What the position of the Fourth
will be- should there be a continued movement
downward into Virginia, can only be couieciurcd.
but there is little doubt of our Regiment aud the
Fifth soon seeing active service. We are grucr-
ally eager and prepared for il, except that our
clothing (particulmly oycrcoats) is deficient We
already suher at night iOrwant Of more covering,
the nights being very cold, and it is a standing
joke that it grows colder rs we go further South.

good shelter excellent accommodations for

The last days Of our stay at st. Adams
we're cold and rainy and the men were gener-
ally glad to get away; besides, there was the
feeling, common / find TO all soldiers, of
desire to be in motion when once enlisted for
service, so that the order for moving gave
general delight drought the Regiment.
Although not quite fully equipped we were
YET IN presentabo condition, and | believe
that considering the apparent urgent need of
our troops as well as others AT or near the
Capital our officers were quite as willing as
the men to get off. We left camp at ST. AL

WHY LOUISVILLE WAS NOT
CAPTURED.

From ne CufHiyft Commercial
The iae, that Gen. Buckner did not take
the City of Louisville instead of stopping at
Green River, where he invaded Kentucky ON
the lime Of the Louisville and Nashville Roll
road. is DUE not TO any foresight or force of
The United States authorities on of thc Union
men OF Kentucky, but to the loyalty, courage
and tact Of one obscure individual Tho Sc-
ccssionists had laid their plans to appear sud-
denly ia Louisville with a powerful force
They had provided for transportation four
hundred cars and fifteen Locomotives, and
had eight thousand men, with artillery and
camp cquipage on board. They had secured
the services of the telegraph operators one of
whom forwarded to Louisville a dispatch OK
