ARLINGTON HEIcH

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Juae 10
There is good reason TO believe that, bal
for the recent change in the movements OF the
rebel troops, large forces having been centered
at Manassas Junction within few days. an
advance OF Federal troops from Alexandra and
this point would certainly have been made dp-
ring the past week. On Monday last orders
to that fleet were received, and the troops
have been IN momenary expectation and read
mess since then 10 march. The skirmish
which took place at Fairfax Court House be-
tween party Of dragons and rebels was un-
fortunate, having the effect to direct the at:eu-
ton Of the rebels 10 tina: point, and since the
occurrence large accesscions have been made 10
their orce in that vicinity. Gen. Beauregara
has arrived there, and assumed the command.
This change in the position Of affairs will cause
some delay IN any active operations of the
Federal troops in that direction AS to the
purposes of the rebels, Of course all is coniect-
urs, yet the apparent security manifested BY
the people still remaining in Alexandria-a-
bont 1000 out ofa population of l1,00o-
gives assurance that no immediate attack is
projected. Communication between that CITY
and the rebel camp is without doubt still car
red on secretly, and the inhabitants will be
aole to receive warning if any attack fram the
rebel forces is contemplated.

to represent the policy Of the Administration.
But for the depredations Of certain volunteers
on private property in Hampton ana for miIes
around, as well as in Fairfax county, It is rep
resented here that the Union feeling in Vrrgin-

Efforts are now be,ag made 10 remedy these

Although Austria has not directly protested
against MIR. burlingame, our new Minister to

more than n success. The crowd assembled far
exceeded in numbers any gathering of the kind
we ever witnessed. The preparations were ample.
Such loads of provisions, and so well and taste.
fully prepared by all the citizens of the township
rarely meets the eye of mortal man. Over $500
persons were counted at the tables. The crowd
present numbered from 3 600 to 1000 persons --
Good eatables, good order and good feeling were
the distinguishing features of the celebration, --
Six military companies were on parade, to,wit
Capt. Maxwell's Capt. Graham's, Capt. Nelson's
Capt Allison's, Capt. Finney's and Capt. French's
The Millersburg Band, which is unrvallcd in
