The Tribune correspondent says:
The War Department has accepted three
additional regiments from Iowa, making

Senator Wigfslt visited this city in the dis.
guise Of cattle droVer, and after making
thorough reconnaissance, returned to Man
assas junction.

three years, or the war, Chicago battal-
ion raised by Capt ]. NJ. Wilson, consisting

visible at Aeuia Greek, and q large num-
Der of tents are diseruable.
II is certain that strong force is gathered
there which is to be reinforced from time 10
time from the Maryland shore.
Worlds dispatch:
Information har reached here at late
hour tonight, that four regiments are ad-
vauciug towards Fairfax, G. H. Il is said
the rebels bad evacuated the village, and were
Ietreating to Manassas.
Officials across the river credit reports
which reached there this morning that large
numbers of rebel troJps had retrested from
Manassas Junction, in the direction of Aquia
Creek.
This is undoubtedly true Besuregard
anticipates that it is the design Of the Fed
eral forces to move on Richmond from sew.
eral different points, and that the Potoms'
river by Aqua Creek is one Of them. By
this movement they will no doubt he sup
piled by reinforcements from the Harperf
/ Ferry column.
A gentleman has received information
from Richmond that troops there are drill
ing in the bayonet exercise, preferring to
adopt that mode of warfare after making
the first charge.
BE further states that the rebel troops
will ultimately fall back on Richmond fol
the defence OF that city.
The Herald's dispatch says;
An attack commenced shortly before
PM The late hour accounts for the fail
ure Of the enemy TO pursue, doubtless ez
pecting strong federal force near.
Gen. Scbenok, with sword drawn, boldl.
threw himself between the batteries and nj
men, giving his orders in cool and delib
crate manner, and telling the boys tha
Ohio expected them to do their duty.
If the train had advanced 100 yard
further, the loss Of lie would have beel
terrible, and the entile expidition mad
prisoners By the enemy.
| Worlds dispatch: 1l.
Il is untrue that no previous reconnoi
sance had been made when the tight too

The same train had not only prOceede

conflict some days before, but our sceu

the battery was erected. The battery col

2 rounds. The first was most destruetiV
: scattering round shot and grape into Il
passenger and platform cars, which CO..

: perpendicularly over the track, and
would have been folly to attempt to Ia

: make hasty retreat
! The report that the battery was MANN
e by South Csrolinians is doubtless nj
take. The force of the rebels is estimat
b at about 1000.
