will be included In this measure.

large force at Fairfax Court House.
Every movement indicates an attack on our
lines within short time.

60,0O0 troops at any given point within a week

and it 10 not improbable that he will be forced tc
make speedy advance movement.
To-day advices have been received from the
camp of the Connecticut troops, near Vienna,
Va. No new movements had taken place. Our

pared for any attack. -

suited so disastrously for our troops, rests upon
