Especial Dispatch to the N Y. Herald
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The attack COM
menced shortly before seven, P. NJ. The late
hour accounts for the failure of the enemy to
pursue, doubtless expecting a strong Federal
force near.
General Schenck, with sword drawn,
boldly threw himself between the batteries
and his men, giving his orders in a cool and
deliberate manner, and telling the boys that
Ohio expected them to do their duty. If the
train had advanced one hundred yards fur
ther the loss of life would have been terrible,
and the entire expedition made prisoners
by the enemy.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-When the Second
Ohio Regiment received marching orders
this morning, every inmate of the hospital
left the sick. bed and Joined the ranks. The
encampment at Falls Church was immedi-
ately placed in telegraphic communication
with headquarters.
Movements on both sides indicate that the
scene of active operations is 70 be shifted to
this vicinity. '' ''"
The rebels guns and flags are distinctly
visible at Acquia Greek. A large number Of
| tents are discernable. 1t is certain that a
strong force is gathered there, which is to be
re-enforced from time to time from the Mary
land shore.
NEW York Worlds Special Dispatch1
WAsHIHGToE, June ls.-Information has
reached here, at late hour to night, that
four regiments are advancing toward Fair
fax Courthouse. IL is said the rebels evac-
uated the village, retreating to Manassas.
Officials across the river credit reports
which reached them this morning, that a
large number of rebel troops had retreated
! from Manassas Junction in the direction of
Acquia Greek. This is undoubtedly true.
Beauregard anticipates that it is the design
| of the Federal Forces 10 move on Richmond
| from several different points and that the
Potomac River, by Acquia Creek, is one OF
| them. By this movement he will, no doubt,

A gentleman has received information
| from Richmond that troops there are drill

preferring to adopt that mode of warfare,
after making the first charge. He further
states that the rebel troops will ultimately
fall back on Richmond, for the defense Of
that city. ..r.. ....
| WASHINGTON, June 1s-It is untrue that
no previous reconnaissance had been made
| where the fight took place at Vienna. The
same train had not only proceeded some
three or four miles beyond the scene of con-
fiict, some days before, but our scouts had
been over the very ground on which the
batteries were erected. ..s ...r -,.--
The battery consisted of six-pounders
which fred seven rounds the first being
most destructive, scattering round shot and
grape into the passenger and platform cars
which contained four companies Of the Firsi
