Of Confederate troops there was estimated at
5000. They we're tolerably well armed and

in anticipation Of an attack, and the belief
there was that the Federal troops would move
towards Harper's Ferry by that route.
To-day small guard Of men was ordered
from Alexandria towards Fairfax, Court
House, on accommodating expedition. When
some miles out they discovered company Of
secession cavalry drawn up in line. Satisfied
with this view they retraced their steps, cap
turing on their way two Of the enemy's picket
guards who were brought to Washington. -
One Of them confirms the report that on Sat
urday afternoon, about 700 secessionists were
several miles from Arlington, but prudenuy
retired further back, when they discovered
the hurrying Of troops thitherward from
Washington. The War Department is salts
fed Of these facts from reliable quarters.
A secession scout was to-day released from
arrest on taking the oath of allegiance. He
stated that several week ago he was accident.
ally kept from subscribing to that Of the Sc
cessionists, and was now glad he had escaped
the severe hardship through which he had
been subjected lie represents that many
former military companies would be rejoced
to be similarly released.
