that the rebels extending a line of fortifca-
tons from Munson's Hill toward Alexandria.
Prof Lowe made balloon ascension, We'd

cavalry on Munson's Hill.
The event of Tuesday was the review of the
cavalry and artillery attached to the army of the
Potomac, at about p. M, on the ground a
mile below the capitol-the best location which
could have been selected in this vicinity. There
wer4 five regiments of cavalry under the COM
mand Of Gen. Stoneman, chief of cavalry, and
eight batteries, consisting of As pieces, under
the command of Gen. Barry, chief of artillery.
The review was witnessed by the president
heads of departments, foreign ministers and
other distinguished personages, together with
an immense crowd of promiscuous spectators.
Gen. Mcclellan and staff appeared in full uni
form, accompanied by nearly all the field and
staff officers attached TO the army of the Poto-
mac. The artillery fred the salute usual on
such occasions. There were two full mounted
bands Of music. The review is regarded as the
grandest, considering the description of forces,
that ever took place on this continent.
iowa ds the close of the display, an accident
of serious character occurred. AS the artil
lery was passing at double-quick, the tongue OF
cnisson broke, throwing the artillerists from
their seats and causing severe injuries to two,
named James Gillon and William Hatfield OF
company X, 4th artillery.
Early Monday night, the barn situated to the
left of Bailey's cross roads, used by the rebel
pickets, and from which number Of our men
have been killed, was destroyed, being CRED by
hot shot thrown by our troops.
The rebels are throwing up earthwork' for
the purpose of terrifying Russell's Hill, seven
miles from Alexandria, on the line of the Or
ange and Alexandria railroad, and two miles
this side of Springfield station. No large force
is there, however.
