DARSsTowN, Oct. l7.-On the night of the
10th of September, detachment of IL men
crossed the Potomac for the purpose of recon.
noitering ard foraging. When about half mile
from the river they were attacked by 10 rebels,
two of whom were instantly killed Among the
wounded was my informant corporal Gracey-
As Gracey lay wounded upon the ground, a re-
bel named Mccarthy Lowe, a farmer residing in
the vicinity, rushed up and shot hmltwice, both
barrels taking effect, and was stopped from fir
ing third time by his Captain. One of the
balls penetrated Gracey's back in a slanting
direction, aud came out on his left side; the
other entering the back lodged in his left lung,
where 1t still remains.
His two weeks stay at Fairfax, was not OF an
unpleasant character, considering all the circum-
stances. In this hospital the inmates were most.
ly members of the LIST Virginia regiment. Every
day or two, those seriously i'll, were sent to
Richmond, as it was found Gen. Mcclellan would
attack the rebel lines. The night after he be-
came able to move about he drugged the bev.
erage of his attendant. He then started towards
the Potomac, at the point of his capture, but in
consequence of large rebel forces, he was com.
PEELED to diverge in westerly direction, cross
inc Bull Run, and thence taking circuitous
route to avoid observation.
While in hospital at Fairfax he occasionally
overheard conversation between officers and
surgeons of the hospital; saw Beauregard and
Longstreet In conversation on several occasions
and inferred that Longstreet held some impor-
tant commission. On the 9th infant jeff Davis
was at Fairfax and spent several hours with
Beauregard. Gen. Johnston was understood TO
be somewhere in the immediate neighborhood.
On one occasion Gen. Langstreet said to the
Surgeon, that the rebel forces in front of Wash
ington were SO scattered, that if attacked ut
any poiat in the line, there must necessarily be
an abrupt retreat by all upon Manassas-their
Gibralter. They think it impossible to be dry

McCleilan,s Position.

The n. Z. Worlds Washington Correspond
ent says:
Now, all the strategic advances sentared by
Mcclellan during the last month, by which The
range of hills FROM Alexandria to point neal
| Great Falls is at last impregnably our own, seem
| to have been made with the view of securing
that base for an onward march of the army, which
can alone make such movement rapid, harmo
NOUS, and irresistible. At least this appears to
me the great result attained by the occupation
of Prospect Hill, Leyipsville, Upton's, Munson's
Maeson's and the rest.
For now nearly the entire column late in
Washington. having been hurried over the river
and encamped in the rear of these outposts, a
| truly Grand Army of the Potomac" is stretched
wing, center and wing-aloug fifteen miles
ward march. Right, Left and middle are all
properly placed, and the reserve concentrated
behind. Batteries are distributed at short and

tce even push in full force over the four roads

commando His complete maiatainence Of the
Leesburg turnpike gives him also clear passage
for flank movements along the entire front.
1t is, however, not improbable that he will
feel bis way cautiously to Manassas, taking Fair
fax Court House ere long; and then, by glacier
like advances, crowd the enemy into fighting, re-
treating, or bsing crushed. One reason for this
course, is that while the evident hesitating re-
tirement of the rebels encourages the North to
look for the offensive on our part, our artillery
has not yet reached the force and practice which
Mcclellan REFUSES for his final Southern move
ment. Ere long the two regiments which have
been lately steadily working At field and se;ge
pieces will turn out 900 trained artillersts, and
thus twenty new batteries can be manned. An
other reason for sluggishness across the river is
. desire to await the results Of the new naval ex.
peditons, and distract the enemy more effectual.

named Mari came West from Montreal with his
wife, and at Blue Island built up profitable
business. In the course of time he made his

wife, and not long after died. In the Spring o!
1859 another lady came West protesting to be
the wife of the Doctor. Both ladies possessed the
usual certificates of lawful marriage to the
deceased and it was proposed at first to make a

as they ANTICIPATED, fnd any ons there
to receive them. Now for the great mo-
ment of excitement on board the feet.
The glorious, the Stainless the uncon-
quered and uneouquerabie flag q free
men, IN free country, the ''Stsrs and
Stripes" row gracefully unfurl their
broad folds to the breeze, from what was
but a moment ago the stronghold Of the
enemy, and which, IN an hour or two
hence, viii be occupied by 1900 Union
troops, under command Of General Sher-
man.
The battle lasted for about four hours.
Besides tents, some SMALL arms, &c, we
took the whole of their guns. unspikeG,
five of which are superior rifle cannon,
three mortars, which, after we had dis
mounted, they buried. The remainder,
fifty in all, on both islands, are of i'm
mense calibre, none being SO low as a
thirty-six FOUNDER. We captured no
more than seven or eight prisoners, who,
for reasons best known to themselves, did
not effect their escape with the rest, as
they might readily have done. Our loss
in killed and wounded on board the fleet
probably amounts TO about twenty or
thirty in all, whilst that of the enemy
cannot be properly arrived at, butts sup
posed TO be not far from two hundred and
fifty.
In order to screen the havoc made in
their ranks, they adopted the modern ex-
pedient of bringing as many of their dead
from off the field as their ambulance
wagons could contain. Not more than
sixty were found around their entrench-
ments, all of whom received their sum-
mons from time 10 eternity by their heads
being completely shot away. have, ere
now, shared the dangers of more than one
holly contested battle field; but On no
previous occasion have had greater
reason to thank the Almighty for bring
ing me through so many hsir-breath
escapes as this day experienced during
the four hours which we remained under
the well directed fire of the enemy's
guns, which assuredly, on certain occas-
ions, could only be likened TO shower
of hail. The death dealing missiles came
so thick and fast that to the sacredness
of our cause can we alone attribute the
miraculousness of our not having to re-
port the gaining Of too dearly bought
victory.
The brilliancy of this victory reflects
the greatest possible amount of credit
on all concerned in it, and the result of
which, in stragetic sense, could not be
exaggerated. The BienVille is a good
deal damaged, and. asi the honor of
bearing the glorious intelligence to the
Empire City will be confded to her, she
is likely to be an object of interest when
she shall have reached there. Three
shots went right through her, one more
took the afterside and cut spanker, an
other went through her bulwark, close to
the deck, and bounded into the sea, whilst
others carried away various pieces of rig
ging gear, the galley smoke stack, &c.
This combat will ever live in the
memory of all who witnessed il.
