INTERESTING FROM ALEXANDRIA.

ALEXANDRIA, July 7-Congressman Val
landigham visited the Ohio regiments camp
to-day. While in the first regiments camp
disposition was shown by many OF the troops
to hustle him out and Notwithstanding the
nerve and courage shown by Vallandigham,
it is probable they would have succeeded but
for the protection shown him by the Dayton
company, and his pass from Gen. Scott. He
finally returned to the camp of the second
regiment, after declaring himself as good
Union man as any of them, and expressing
his scorn for the mob spirit shown by his Eel,
low citizens. Gen. Schenck and Col. McCook
were temporarily absent during the scene.

night, but disappeared on an alarm made by

1t being ascertained that farmer, Captain
Mason, in the vicinity OF Falls Church, outside
our pickets, was about removing his stock of
goods to the enemy's country, Gen. Tyler
seized them en- route. Ii was done this morn
ing at daybreak by a party OF the first Con-
necticut regiment. Five horses, five mules,
and considerable baggage, were captured. A
later report represents that the goods were re.
turned, the charge against Mason not being
sustained.
Rev. Mr.. Leftwinch, of the second Presby-
terion church opposite headquarters here, in
his sermon today took strong southern ground,
and volunteered prayer especially for the state
troops. Col. Heinzeman, after conversation
with the minister, decided that the church
should oe closed this evening. Sentlnels were
placed around it at the special request of
Col. Henzeman, but subsequently withdrew
his order, being OF opinion that nothing the
Rev. gentleman could say could hurt our cause
The affair created considerable feeling among
the religious community, and affords quite a
relief in the way of excitement. The church
was not opened this evening. it being under

allow Leftwinch to preach tonight under the
circumstances,

ACTIVE MILITARY MOVEMENTS
AND IL UAIORs OF A GREAT BATTLE

WAsnINGToN, June THE indications of
active military operations of decisive char
acter are apparent, in the departure, to day, of
the New York 9th and 18th regiments by rail
road, in the direction of Martinsburg also
the departure Of the New York 38th, and
Greene's United States light artillery into
Virginia. The New York 23d arrived last
night, and is under orders to move into Vir-
GINA early tomorrow morning. The second
Rhode Island regiment is expected to leave
to night. Upwards of thirty rihed cannon
have been sent into Virginia since Friday.
Reports are current that the troops on the Vir.
ginia side of the Potomac will soon be add-
tionany largely reinforced.
Col. Leamon arrived this afternoon, and
drove Immediately to the presidents house.
He subsequently had an interview with the
military authorities. He came direct from
Huntsville and Martnsbnrg. There seems no
doubt that Gen. johnson has been reinforced,
which has induced the government to
strengthen Gen. Patterson's column.
There are extravagant reports prevalent of
a great battle between johnson and Patterson,
but they lack confirmation. A skirnlish be.
tween outposts, to which little importance is
attached, is probably the origin of the rumors.
1t is certain that the government has no in
formation on the subject.

can look with compassion upon the good

and bisotry. the regeneration of land trOm oP-
prsssive rulers, the discovery of America, and
The establishment Of the power of people
unlSed in the principles Of freedom. They
saw these separately; we see them altogether
II this year of conflict and Of victory. They
established principles we die to maintain
thsm. They opened new paths of usefulness
ana glory; wowalk in those paths and swear
that 90 long as the life blood courses in our
veins, OF our muscles answer to our call, we
win defend them, and prove to the world
that We are worthy all the efforts and Sacri-
scss those noble heroes made for the child
rsn of the latter days. Is not this time OF
trial g glorious one7
Let rs thank God thst this country still
lives; that our armies are mighty snd conf
dent; thst we have leader in whom we
trust to lead our hosts on to the discontinue
Of the enemy. Lat rs be thankful that the
traitors are to be whipped, and that the voice
a. tbe Heompromiser" is not heard in the
land; that patriotism and national honor
abound; that the clouds which Obscured our
national sky are being swept away, and that
the morning star of universal freedom shines
Zee and clear.
Truly, we have cause for Thanksgiving
Tbs national army is advancing into the
