correct account of the affair at Matthias Point on

by throwing grape upon the shore, repeating the
shot ON saturday afternoon.

This occurrence has been magnihed in an en-

Correspondence of IT'S Star.

GBoRssrOwS, June %, 1861
The apprehensions seriously entertained by many
| OF our citizens a few weeks ago, that the concen-
tration Of large number OF troops in this vicinity
would give occasion to acts OF lawlessness and
violence, and that persons and property would
not be safe In the District have been dispelled by
the general good conduct OF the soldiers encampsd
in the neishborhood, and we believe that .tatis-
tics will warrant in saying that the increase Of
crime has not been proportionate with the increase
OF population; II there has not been an actual d.
minution Of the number Of criminal cases since
the arrival Of the military Minor ofenses against
persons ana property, by small squads Of military
from helghoo.ing camps. ITO be attributed most
ly, however, to the execrable whiskey 10 be had
at some OF our rum-mills,) multiplied so rapidly
on the withdrawal of our volunteer soldiery TO
more distant fields Of duty, that Mayor Addison
1nding our police force TO be inadequate, called
upon Gen Mansfield, who kindly sent over i'm
Iediately military guard of fifty mea, since
which time the former quiet has been restored
The guard is a part of the Washington Light
Guard, under command Of Capt = A. II Marks
and Is stationed at Forrest Hail. They have pa
trolled our city regularly since their arrival and
deserve the thanks of our citizens for their etI
cheney in this irksome duty. We Yesterday saw
them arrest desperate man belonging to a New
York Regiment, and their frmness and humanity
were very commendable. They are all sober
reliable men.
While we are on military matters another
thing. We are not generally disposed to ind
fault aid still less disposed to NEEDLE with affairs
Of which we know but little; but an observing
friend, who has had opportunities Of visiting the
troops on both sides Of the river SAYS that lack
OF discipline is noticeable in the camps even of
those regiments which are composed Of the most
reliabis and best drilled men. In fact in many
cases there Is not as much order as prevails In
camp OF civil engineers, or even of frontiersmen
Much OF this Is owing no doubt TO the novelty Of
camp ne and the want Of experience; and several
OF the officers are now impressing upon their men
the necessity for strict observance OK tue rules
which ought to govern military camps. and IL
| only requires a united and persevering effort on
| the part Of officers and men TO attain the proper
standard Let all take pride in maintaining as
rigid discipline in camp as parade, for 1t is as
necessary for the security Of the army as for the
ultimate comfort of its cOmponents.
Another complaint, and we have done. viii
The guard on Analostan Island fire their guns in
| some other direction, and not towards our CITY,
One or two lives have been endangered BY stray
bullets from that side Of the river.

THE FORCE AT MANASSAs-SeARCIr

THE ROADS AROUND.
special telepraphic dIspatch TO

Especial telegraphic dispatch TO the star
ALEXANDRIA, June 25.-A reliable citizen Of a
ne!shboring county Of this State (virginia) has
just reached here, having been held prisoner at
Manassas Junction for three days in the fore part
Of last week. He was arrested at his home for his
Unionsm, and was carried to the Junction by his
caPtcrs. He was kept there for three days, with
tive other prisoners. In all that time he was
neither given piece Of bread nor drop Of water,
though repeatedly begging piteously for both.
He saw but two buckets Of water carried around
the camp to the soldiers In the vicinI:r Of the hut
in which he was confined, in the course Of the
whole three days His estimate OF the force
encam ped at tie junction on Sunday last is ten
thousand. Two Thousand more Were said 20 have
arrived from Richmond between Sunday and
Tuesday. On being liberated, be made for the
Potomac, Ito escape into Maryland,) taking the
Dumfries road, which he found obstructed by
numerous felled trees, as low down IS a mile
below BANDS ford over Cedar run; a point five
miles from the Junction. lie was examined by
three very pompous fellows, VIM. Porcher Miles,
Of South Carolina, being chief among them
Miles, on dismissing him, said that they expected
to be In Washington in fortnight, and II catch.
Ing him there, would surely hang him. While
being examined he heard them conversIng among
themselves about the immensty Of their force,
evidently with the design Of impressing him with
the idea that it was overwhelming He reports
that fun fourth of all the troops he saw there are
armed with shot guns, and portion are wholly
without arms apparently. He saw but two appa-
rently well drilled regiments. On the whole,
what he saw of the camp at the Junction did NOT
serve to impress him with the belief that Beaure-
gard would venture to move upoa Washington
with the means at bis command for ifs assault
