Senator Wigfall visited the city in disguise
of q cattle drover, and after making thor
ough reconnaissance returned to Manassas
Junction.
The rebel guns and flags are distinctly
seenat Aqua Greek, and large number of
tents are distinguishable. 1t is certain that
a strong force is gathering there, which is to
be reinforced from time to time from the Ma
ryland shore.
The N. Y. Worlds dispatches from Wash
ington of the 18th say it is understood that
previous reconnaissance had been made where
the fight took place at Vienna. The same
train had hot only proceeded three miles be-
yond the scene of the conflict several days
before, but our scouts had been over the very
ground upon which the batteries were erect
ed. The battery consisted of six Founders,
which fred seven rounds, the first doing the
most destruction, scattering round shot and
grape into the passenger and platform cars,
which contained four companies of the first
Ohio regiment. The battery was almost per-
pendicular over the track, and it would have
been folly to attempt to take it. The troops
were therefore forced to make hasty retreat.
The rebel forces were estimated at about TO-
600.
