ST. LOUIS, June 26.-The steamer J. C..

TALON Of Colonel BANDS regiment of volun-
teers, destined, it is said, for Cape Girardeau,
to act in conjunction with Colonel Sloan's
Illinois regiment, from Cairo, against the
rebels in camp near Cape Grardeau, under
General Watkins. Colonel Dougherty's
regiment of volunteers from the Eighth Con-
gressional District of Illinois, were mustered
into the service for three years, at Caseyville,
to-day.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The New York
Worlds special says citizen of Alexandria
reached here to day from Manassas Junction,
who has been confined for three days. He
says there are large number of prisoners
there. He gives a painful account of the
condition of the rebel forces. During the
three days he was prisoner, he neither had
bread nor water. He underwent an examina-
ton before three persons headed by VIM.
Porcher Miles, from South Carolina, result
ing in his liberation. On being liberated, he
made his way to the Potomac, in order to
escape into Maryland.
He found all the roads blookaded by rocks
and trees, felled to resist the passage of
troops, within five miles of Manassas juno
| ton. When he was dismissed he was in
formed that their troops would be in Wash
| ington in less than two weeks, and if he
should be caught there he would be hung.
| He heard them boast of the immensity of
their force, but he does not believe there
were fifteen thousand men there. Fully one
| quarter of them were armed with shot-guns,
while many were not armed at all. The
scarcity of water caused great deal of sick
ness among the rebels.
Scouts, who have returned from within the
| vicinity of Fairfax Courthouse to-day, re-
port that the enemy have erected batteries
one and a half miles north and east of the
Court house.
All the roads leading from this direction
had been obstructed by trees being felled
across all level places.
This destruction of all the roads precludes
the idea that the rebels intended an advance,
and the same view is sustained in the fact
that the roads leading to Centerville, in the
rear of Fairfax, have been newly cleared up

house, very few troops in the village, and
but few thousand located in the rear.
An alarm of an advance of the Fedora
troops caused both citizens and soldiers tc
leave Fairfax in great haste.
