stirring and important military movements.
The y. Y q, 10Th, 18th and list Regiments,
the Michigan and New Jersey Brigades, and
Ellsworth S ZOuayes, so far as at present as
certained, constituted a force which advanced
upon Virginia The W ashington city rifles
Capt. Smead, at about 10 last night passed
over Long Bridge to the rginia shore, halt
ing at the end, until between one and two
o'clock this morning acting as advance guard
These We're followed by other District volun-
teer companies acting in asslmilar capacity.
Subsequently the 4. \. "a and 18th Regi
mcnt7. and the Michigan and New Jersey
Brigldos crossed the bridge, the Virginian
picketr having been previously driven in by
the advance guard. One of these regiments
took the road leading to Fairfax Court House,
about 90 miles from Washington, while an
other, the New Jersey, stopped at the Forks,
a mile from long Bridge to await ORDER.
An advance into Virginia was also made
from another point, viz at Potomac Acquc-
duct at Georgetown.
The 1th y. y Regiment was among these
troops. and after several hours march occu-
pied point between tie bridge and Column
bia Spring, on the line Of the Washington
