six miles east Of Piedmont, was burnt by the
rebels last night. They ocGapy Piedmont four
or five thousand strong. A guard Of forty
Marylsndars, from Cumberland, under Capt.
Bcslsy, are stationed there with enc piece Of
artillery. As The rebels advanced, they poured
shot into them, moving them down like grass,
and continued to DO 90 until the guHuers we're
all killed. The brave little band were cut to
pieces, only t2o escaping.
Such are The reports that reach ne, which
are probably exaggerated. The rebel suffered
terribly.
It is feared the rebels will burn the bridge
over the Yenngsioghsny river.

WAsHINGroE, June 19.-As 2 p. N. yester-
day the federal trooas-the two Connecticut
regiments and the two Ohio regiments, with
some other troops not known 10 my informant
were posted at a point on the road leading
from Georgetown to Falls Church, less than
two miles from Falls Church village. Three
car loads provisions we're sent up to The troops
this morning, and the camp equipage OF the
Connecticut and Ohio troops is being sent up,

By disafected people heresbout, that his pur-

ously estimated from 12,000 to $1,000. l be-
lieve the least number will cover it. His OBJ

ing a threatening position, with the expeeta-
ton Of being able to scsmper of suddenly to
Manassas after having done so, and to be in a
position to receive aid. Or, as a desperate
and forlorn hope, to advance on McDowel's
column, before troops TO have been thus decoy-
ed TO Patterson's line could get back to the
federal metropolis.
In both these objects his rstrogade move
ments seem to have proved a failure al
ready, as Cadwallsder evidently kept him
self well advised Of his (Johnston's) pro-
gress in this direction, and so disposed Of
his advancing column by promptly cross
ing the river and concentrating on advan-
tage ground, as to render an assault upon it
hopeless. While Patterson hss already
strengthened Cadwallader By sending up
heavy reserves as that not only more
troops are necessary to be brought here
from your city, but very fns Rhode Island
regiments can conveniently be spared to re-
sumo at once their old position in the Wash
iDgton line. As at present posted, Johnston's
line must give way whenever seriously assaulted
by CadwailsdaI's troops, and I do not perceive
that a forwsrd movement on his part is likely
to be delayed forty-sisht hours longer. Gen.
Lee was certainly at Manassas Sunctioa the
day before yesterday.
