II wAsHiNeroN, Msy PA gentleman, who
left Richmond yesterday, arrived here 'tbil
morning, coming by the way Of Manassas
Gap. He says the train 10 which he travelled
brought a thousand South Carolina troops
to the Gap, and tha. the entire number there
was estimated at five thousand. They we're
tolerably we'll armed ard equipped, and we're
throwing up entrehchmepts 10 anticipation oil
on attack. The belief there was, that the
Federal troops would move toward Harper's
Ferry by that route.
WAsHINoroN, May 27-Evening. To-day,
a small guard of men was ordered from Alex
andria toward Fairfax Court House, on o
accommodating expedition.
When some miles out they discovered at
the latter place company OF rebel cavalry,
drawn up 10 line. Satisfied with this view,
they retraced their steps, capturing on their
way two Of the enemy's picket guard, who
we're brought to Washington. One OF them
confirms the report that on Saturday alter
noon, about seven hundred rebels we're seven
miles only from Arlington, but prudeutly
retired farther back, when they discovered
the hurrying of the troops thitherward from
Washington.
The Wat Department Is satisfied OF these
facts from reliable quarters.
A rebel scout was to-day released from
arrest on taking the oath Of allegiance. He
stated that several weeks ago he was acci-
dentally prevented from subscribing to that
of the Secessouists, and was now glad that
he had escaped the severe hardship to which
be had been subjected. He represents that
many of his former military companions would
rejoice TO be similarly released.
