| this forenoon, and commenced an attack On the
rebel forces. He was within 25 miles of the
battle ground yesterday, but the exhausted con-
dition of his men prevented him from coming
to McDowell's aid.
1t is also reported that 1000 of our troops have
been sent to Fairfax from the other side of the
River.

ded IS magni6ed~ by large numbers who are
missing. The lowest estimate of the killed
and wounded may be placed at 1000 to 5000.
