MOVEMENTS NEAR ALIEN ,SDR1a.-.Ne con-
tinue this afternoon our Chr >aicle II MI. AIRY
movements Ill this nelghborhood, made up
from our exchanges:
The Confederate batteries on Shipping
Point, in the Potomac, is said to be rower-
full ones, throwing shells clear across the
river.
1t is evident now that the whole length of
the shore, from Shipping Point, at the mouth
of Quantico, to the mouth Of the Chopawan-
sic, is lined with batteries, in which are
mounted several rAed guns, and others csr-
rying eight or niue inch shells. There are
six of these batteries within that distance.
The main one, at Shipping Point, has four
guns. The others have each at least two
Every vessel drawing over six feet is obliged
to pass for four miles within three-quarters
of mile of these batteries.
General Mcclellan made tour of obser-
walton on Wednesday along the whole lines
from Alexandria to Lewinsville frequently
coming in sight of the Confederate pickets,
who retired upon the appearance Of the bril-
liant cavalry escort Of the General.
George Lucky, negro slave of William
Murray, now serving in the Confederate ar
my, and whose residence is at Salem, near
Manassas junction, Virginia, was appre-
Blended yesterday by detachment from Gen.
McCall's division. The negro is intelligent
and tells his story with straig htforwardness
He was sent into Gen. McClelan's head
quarters for examination. He has been. en-
ployed as blacksmith in the Confederate
army. lie states that there are no Com
rate troops this side of Flint Hill, except the
pickets near Vienna and Hunters Mill, on
the Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad. The
main body Of the Confederates is concentra-
ted on the line of Flint Hill, Fairfax Court
House, and Fairfax station, ON the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad. a Gen. B,nham
commands at Flint Hill, and Gen. Beaure-
gard at Fairfax Court House. Lucky heard
nothing of Gen. Johnston. He states that
there is a great deal of sickness in their
camps, principally the black measles. The
troops are suffering with cold. They live
chiefly on -four and fresh beef, and are very
much in need of wooden clothes and shoes
This negro corroborates the report that on
Saturday last they did advance upon the
Federal lines with artillery, cavalry an / in
fantry. His statements are all corroborated
from other sources.
Morrell Allen. of the New York 35th reg
iment Company II, was dangerously woun-
ded yesterday by the Confederate picksts at
Barrett's Hill, beyond Falls Church.
From the observatory at Upton's Hill yes.
terday. large Confederate force. consisting
of cavalry and detached companies Of infan-
try, were seen on the Lsesburg turnpike
four miles from Fails Church. Twenty three
army wagons accompanied them. and the
superstition is they were on a foraging expe.
dition.
The divisions on the right Of the Federal
army were ordered under arms at 2 o'clock
on Tuesday morning, in consequence of an
alarm caused by the firing of the pickets of
the 10Th New York regiment, between Falls
Church and Townsville, but there was no
noteworthy result.
