WAsHIEGroN. June 19.-The War Depart

from Iowa, making six, including one of
cavalry 1t is stated on undoubted author
ity, that Senator WigfalI visited this city
/ in the disguise of a cattle drOver, and after
making a thorough Reconnaissance returned
+ to Manassas Junction.
The War Department has accepted for
three years, or during the war, Chicago
battalion, raised by Capt. ]. w. Wilson,
consisting of 2I2 men rank and file, called

are distinctly visible at Aqua Creek
Large mum bers Of tents sre discernable.-
1t is certain that 4 strong force is gathered
there, which is to be reinforced from time
to time from the Maryland shore.
WORLDS DISPATCH
Information reached here at late hour
in the night, that four regiments we're adj
vancing towards Fairfax Court House. 1t
is said the rebels evacuated the village, re-
treating to Manassas. Officials across the
river credit the reports which reached them
this morning, that auarge number of rebel
troops had retreated from Manassas juno
ton in the direction of Aqua Creek. This
is undoubtedly true. Beauregard antici-
pates il is the design Of the federal forces to
move on Richmond from several different
apoints, and that the Potomac river, by
Aqua Greek, is one of them. This move
ment viii, no doubt, be supplied with
reintorcements from Harper's Ferry. A
gentleman has received information from
Richmond that tbs troops are drilling in the
bay onet exercise, most Of the time, prefer
ring to adopt that DIode OF warfare after
making the first charge. He further states
that the rebel troops will ultimately fall
back on Richmond for the defense of that
city.
HERALDs DISPATCH.
The attack at Vienna commenced shortly
before P. NJ. The late hour accounts for |
the failure of the enemy TO pursue, doubt
less expecting a strong federal force near. /
General Schenck, with sword drawn. boldly |
threw himself between the battery and his |
meI, giving his orders in a cool and delb- |
crate manner. and telling the boys that Ohio I
expected them to do their duty. Ii the I
train had advanced one hundred yards fur
tier, the loss Of life would have been terrible /
and the entire expedition made prisoners by /
the enemy.
WORLD DISPATCH.
Ii is untrue that no previous reconnois-
ance had been made by the enemy where the
fight took place at Vienna. The same
train had not only proceeded some three or
four miles beyond the scene Of the conflict
some days before, but cur scouts had been
over the very ground on which the batteries
were erected. The battery consisted of six
Founders, which Ered seven rounds, the first
being most destructive, scattering round I
shot and grape into tiae passenger and plat
form cars, which contained five companies
Of the lst Ohio Regiment. The battery
was a hill almost perp~Hlicularly over
tho track. and il would have Geen folly 10
attempt TO take IT, The troops we're there
fore forced TO make hasty retreat. The
report thst the battery was manRed by
South CnrOinians is doubtless a mistake
The forces OF the rebels are estimated II
about one Thousand.
