The line of the Alexandra and Loudoun
road is dotted with rebel camps. There are
5000 infantry and six cannon at Leesburg. At
a point five or six miles below are 5000 in
fantry and six cannon. Still further on, four
miles beyond, are 5000 infantry. There are
also 1900 cavalry IN LoudOun county. The
Potomac, however, remains too high to be
foTdsd even by cavalry, to whose saddles the
water comes.

from Fairfax Court House was a regular STAN
pede. Tue scouting parties OF the enemy mis-
took each other for the national troops, attack
ell each other, fough5 and rapidly few after a
few rounds, carrying the news that Mcclellan
and all his army were in pursuit. The conse-
auence Of the intelligence was a hasty flight
by the rebels, who dropped their guns along
the road.

This will put his contumacy to test.
