THE LATE FoRAoNa AFFAIR.
Quartermaster Russ, Of the New York Thir-
tieth, called upon US yesterday, to protest
against the idea that treason or treachery had
any thing to do with the capture Of the forag.
Ing party on Saturday last. The party was
under the command Of Capt. Laniug, whose
loyalty 10 above suspicion. He was with Gen.
Wool throughout the whole Mexican war, and
has been in the regular service for at least ff.
teen years, and now wears a sword presented
to him by Gen. Wool, for his gallsntry as
soldier, and his virtues as man. He Is res
ident Of Troy, New York, aud has no Southern
proclIvities.
Ensign Andrews was also with the party.
He IL son Of DR.. Andrews, Of Saratoga
Springs, and is young man Of wealth and Of
undoubted loyalty.
1t appears that torag,ng parties have been
for some time in the daily habit Of going even
further than where this one was arrested, with
out seeing rebels, or eucountering any diff
Guilty, and the probability is, that this circum-
stance made them less careful than they should
have been, and this Is much more rational
explanation Of the affair, than that treaohery
was the cause Of the unfortunate mishap.
THE skIRxBH NEAR pAIIs CHURCH ON MONDAY.
The skirmish which occurred near Falls
Church, on Monday, resulted more seriously
than was at first supposed. The Thirtieth,
Twenty y-iourth, and q portion Of the Fourteenth

dispatched to the assistance Of the pickets by
Gen. Mcdowell, remained on duty the whole of
Monday night, securing the country In all d.
rections. These regiments returned to camp
yesterday morning, bringing with thsm the
dead bodies Of two members Of the Fourteenth
Brooklyn regiment, and one mortally wound.
cd. The bodies of the unfortunate men were
horribly mutilated by 1t Is supposedly the ear
bines of the rebel cavalry. Thirteen men be
longing to the Fourteenth Brooklyn regiment
are still missing, and are supposed to have been
taken prisoners, or are concealed In the woods,
watching for an opportunity 10 escape.
A boy who came to our lines yesterday states
that the rebel cavalry, when retreating, stopped
al his fathers house and seized upon . horse
and wagon belonging to him, for the purpose Of
carrying of their dead and wounded, Of which
they had quite number He did not observe
. any prisoners, however,
We learn that the loss Of the rebels wa
three killed and six wounded.
