The report is confirmed that the rebels have
again fallen bsck along their lines hom the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad to the Upper
Potomac. There is small body at Fairfax
Station, and some force, probably not large, at
Fairfax Courthouse. Vienna is deserted and
Leesbnrg is being rapidly eyacuated. We have,
Us yet, made no attempt to occupy the aban-
doled positions, but our pickets are pushed
very abort distance Of the rebels. Il Is re-
ported that Gen. Hancock'e brigade occupied
Vienna this morning, and made 8 reconnoia-
eance beyond, Of which the results are not yet
known.

cheu.

Els could shower upon It. Their cattle a1d
crops were ccnfscated, their property de-

the family, during the rebel occupation, were

fused to visit them. Having lost all their
