WASHINGTON, September L. The rebel
outposts are now but five miles distant from
the Presidents house and three miles from
Arlington Hights. At daylight this morn

fred upon by concealed body of the enemy
near Hunters Chapel on the Virginia side of
the Potomac. AT sunrise, two companies of
our troops were sent out to reconnoiter, and
discovered that the rebels had taken position
at Balls Cross Roads and had thrown for
ward two regiments during the night. These
regiments are now posted along little creek

four brass howitzers, drawn by men, but have
no other artillery.

of Hunters Chapel. The enemy's force on
Munson's Hill is busily engaged in drilling,
and occasionally shots are fired from the hill
at the Federal pickets.

the Federal lines, have been shot by the

"GeneraI Orders No. 1.-THE Major Gen
eral Commanding desires and requests tha
in future there may be a more perfect re
spect for the Sabbath on the part of his com
mand. We are fighting in a holy cause
and should endeavor to deserve the benigl
favor of the Creator. Unless in case of a
attack by the enemy, or some other extrem
military necessity, it is commended to com
manding officers that all work shall be sus
pended on the Sabbath that no unnecessar
movements shall be made on that day; ths
the men, as far as possible, shall be permitte
to rest from their labors; that they sha
attend Divine service after the customar
morning inspection, and that officers an
men alike use their influence to insure tn
utmost decorum and quiet on that day. Th
General Commanding regards this as no idl
form. One days rest is necessary for ma
ard animals; more than this, the obsefvanc
of the holy day of the God of Mercy an
Battles, is our sacred duty.
