said there were 200 cavalry on the ground, who
covered their retreat.
HEROIC OHnOAN.
A most patriotic and heroic spirit was DIS
played by one of the Ohio soldiers on the occa-
sion. He was hit by Mimic hall, which shat
tered bis arm, rendering it entirely useless. No
longer able to use his musket on the Rebels

,Grew it down and cried out, 81 am for the
Union forever-give me pistol" This weapon
being furnished him by private standing by his
side the brave fellow blazed away at the traitors
until he sank to the ground from the loss OF
blood.

ADVANCE OF GEN. MCDOwELL's LINE.
The following dispatch has been received here:
FAILS CHURCH, Fairfax Co., Va, June l9, 1851.
The changes of the positions OF the CoDnectlcnt and
Ohio four regiments involve the advance OF Gen.
Mcdowell line some four miles. Tie positions they
occupy are very strong ones, being much more easily
defended than the camps from which they came yeser-
day and last night. Citizens from Vienna report, that
on the night before last at about 10 o'clock, the Joy
South Carolina troops, with whom Gen; Scuenck hsd
been engaged some hours previously, tcll back IN tie
direction of Fairfax CourHoue, of course carving
their battery faillery with them, and leaving Wen
ma without disunion troops in it.
scout who penetrated into the Village of Fairfax
CourtH House last night brings intelligence that there
are no longer any troops he about there the
force of 900 1905 that were iniy there on
Monday last having probably fallen back IN the dlree-
ton of Ceptrevile. Toe neighbour about Vienna cay
that the South Carohnians lost Fix killed by tie return
fire Of Col. McCook Ohio Regiment
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 1912 m.
I learn from person from the neighborhood OF
Vienna who lives in Fairfax County that the DE
union trvops have burnt two passenger and baggage
cars and about twenty house ana g1ndoia cars ron
Ieesburg az far down as Hunter Mil, eighteen miles
from Alexandria, on the Alexandra, Loudon, ano
Harrehire Road. 1t is also reported that the same
troops have burnt the cars sationhouse, and water
stations at Vienna since 'be light tiere. ~ is De-
heved here that the cars have heen burnt at VIENNA
but probably tie stationhouse has not been destroyed
THE LINES OF THE REBELS.
There il reason to believe that the lines of the
disunion troops extend from the neighbofhood OF
Occoauan as far as CebtreyDle, and that they are
entrenching with heavy guns in the neighborhood
of Fairfax Station, 81 miles from Fairfax Court
House. and fourteen miles from Alexandria 1t
is supposed they may purpose an extension of
their forces up along the lie OF the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad now rebuilding, with the
view to attacking the Zouages who are guarding
the repaired bridges this side. All the indica-
tons 60 to show that the dsunlOn troops are be-
ing pushed forward from Manassas Junction by
daily instaIlments to points nearer the Federal
lines. Up to this time nothing has been heard
from up the Loudon road to indicate that the
Federal troo ps have moved upon Vienna.
SUPPLIES FOR THE TROOPS.
Three car loads of provisions were sent up to
the troops this morning, and the camp equlpage
of the Connecticut and Ohis troops is being sent
up, indicating that they purpose making some
stay in that peiehborhood.
HOW THE REBELS WERE SCARED.
IL seems probable that the salvation of the en-
tire three companies OF Ohie troops from anpihi-
lation at Vienna, was due to the fact that the
train which took them up was followed at a
short distance by another train of seven passen-
rer cars, which the disunion troops evidently
,unnosed ,vas also filed with soldiers. Hence
