X. L. l. Blues.-There were various rumors
afoat yesterday in private and public circles,
concerning disasters said to have befallen GER
tain members of the above old and favorite
company, all of which had their origin in the
desire of people to discourse, especially on a
favorite theme. We have every reason to be-
lieve that the Blues and their gallant Captain,
o. Jennings Wise, have as yet received no
hurt from the enemy. We know that they are
capable ofinficting a great deal if allowed
the opportunity. The latest intelligence re-
ceiyed from them was that they had been led
against 200 of the enemy, (they numbering
1907 and that the latter on seeing them struck
bee line-which we rather suspect to be the
true state Of the case.
P.S.-Since the above was written, We have
been informed that letter has been received
in this city from the Deighborhood cf Phillippi,
in which it is stated that in. an engagement by
Capt. 0. Jennings Wise's company with a
company of Hessians, the Captain of the
Hsssan company was killed at the first fire.
During the brief but brilliant enga gement,
nine or ten of the Federaiists were killed and
twenty five of them were taken prisoners.
II this is fair sample of the work which
will be executed by our gallant men in the
Richmond Blues, we shall look for harvest
of death" in all their future efforts.

The enemy was discovered approaching
the bridge about seven o'clock Yesterday

alarm. Our troop, numbering between for
~ and fifty, instantly prepared for action,

ter did good execution,
They were finally surrounded. however.
and compelled to SURF ender, Their loss is
one killed and six wounded. The rebel loss
is five killed and four wounded.
Immediately after the surrender the federal
prisoners were sworn by JEFF Thompson
not to bear arms against the Southern Com
federacy and released, The rebels then
burned the bridge and speedily retired
jeff Thompson said he had 5000 mounted
men in the vicinity that he intend to burn
ton would soon be attacked and captured.
All the troops on the road have been or
dered to Ironton by Col Coslin in command
at that place, in anticipation OF an attack
A strong force Of rebels is said to be in that
vicinity threatening our force at the termi-
nus of the road. Col Cast's force consists
OF the 33d and 3Sth Illinois, Goth Ind and a.
detachment of Ind. cavalry, which with our
strong Notifications is considered sufficient to
repel any force the rebels have in that sec
ton until rentorcementS which are now on
their way can reach there.

From the observatory at Upton's Hill to-
day, large rebel force consisting of cavalry
and detachment companies of 'infantry were
seen on the Leesburg turnpike, four smiles
from Falls Church. Twenty-three army
wagons accompanied them. The suppostion
is that they were on toraging expedition.
The divisions on the right of the army were
under arms at two o'clock this morning in
consequence Of an alarm caused by the firing
OF the pickets OF the 10Th New York between
Falls Church and Lewinsville, but there was
no worthy result.
The I'd Nav York Fire Zouayes attached
to the Sickles Brigade, were to-day presented

city.
Capt. Mott, New York battery, reports
that while protecting the volunteers filling the
woods at LewinsvlIIe, he saw distinctly a
prominent rebel officer, but RETAINED from
shooting him on a moments reflection that
picket firing was a barbarous and murderous
practice
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1861-10-17

The President is putting forth the most dill
ligent efforts TO execute these measures, and
we have the great satisfaction of seeing that
these efforts are seconded by the favor, aid and
support ola loyal, patriotic and self-sacrifcino
people, who are rapidly bringing the military
and naval forces Of the United States into the
highest state Of efficiency But Congress
was chiefly absorbed during its recent extra
session with those measures, and did not nro-
vide as amply as could he wished for the for
hhcaton OF our sea and lake coasts. In pre-
vious wars, the loyal States have applied
themselves by independent and separate ac-
ton to the support and aid of the Federal
Government IN its arduous responsibility
The same disposition has been manifested in
degree eminently honorable by all the 10y
al States during the present inSurrectiOn.
In view Of this fact, and relying upon the
increase and continuance Of the same dispo-
SItl0n on the part Of the loval States, the
President has directed me to invite YOUR con-
SIderatIOn to the subject of the Improvement
and perfection Of the detences of the State
over which you preside, and to ask YOU to
submit the subject to the consideration Ofthe
Legislature when it shall have assembled
such proceedings by the State would require
only temporary use Of It's means The ex-
penditures ought to be made the subject OF
conference with the Federal Government.
Beng thus madetwith the concurrence of the
government tor general defence, there is
every reason to believe that Congress would
sanction what the State should do, and would
provide tor It's reimbursement.
Should these suggestions be accepted, the
President will direct the proper agents of the
Federal Government to confer with YOU, and
to Superintend, direct and conduct the pros
ecution of the system Of detences of your
State.
| have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
