like the vicious extent which is charged
against them, and the recurrence OF

their movement across the water, they

gallant Ellsworth announced that there
was something for them to do, they
were enthusiastic for the onward order.
THE death of their Colonel affected
them differently. Some swear eternal
vengeance, others are inclined to de-
|spondency, some weep sincere tears
when his name is mentioned, and others
regard his death philosophically, and
consider that in his fame they are shar-
|ers. But three men have been dis
charged for drunkenness since they
went across; there have been none shot

orderly as any one could desire. Col

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunel
Fight at Fairfax Court HOUSE.
June


WAsHINeroN, June 1.
A skirmish took place at A. ii. to-
day, between scouting company of
y ited States cavalry and the rebel
forces at Fairfax Court House, a ham,
let Is miles west of Alexandra. The
federal troops had all seen years of In.
dian fighting in Texas, and were more
than match for six times their number
of raw secessionists, whom they
charged on full run with furious wells.
The rebels scattered in every direction
before the dragons got fairly at them.
The federal loss of four men and four
horses, were caused by firing from
houses. Lieut.. Tompkins, command
ing the cavalry company, had two
horses shot under him. The dragons
captured seven Secessionists,two horses
and a number of muskets, rifles and
|revolvers. The loss of the Secession
lists is variously reported at 25 to so
|killed-lacking confrmation-that two
of the prisoners who attempted to es-
cape on the way in, were shot down to-
la halt.
This little affair, in itself of no inn
|portance, has stirred the blood of our
boys, and made them anxious for the
larger one yet to come off.

quarters on Arlington Heights this aft
