70 be good authority, that Col. Stone had
taken quiet possession of Leesburg From
letter received by the wife Of captain of one
of the district companies with Gel. Stone, dated
Dsrnestovn, June IL, 6 p. IN. We learn, how
ever, that Col Stones command was encamped
at that place, which is OILY four mixes from
Leesburg, Oh the Maryland side Of the Potomac
He had with him the New.YOik 9TH, and
division of the District Volunteers, WHO wore
busily engaged intrenching themselves. Their
camp was yesterday made busy by report that
the enemy at Leesburg were to attack them.
A company of Georgetown Volunteers, led BY
he CAPTAIN who wrtes the letter referred TO-
crossed the river short distance above the
camp. and reconnotered the country for seven

burg. the inhabitants were greatly frightened,
Sinking that the traitors bad again prOtruded
their defeated visases among them. But their !
joy was great when they discovered theiT Wis- !
sake.
