name was entered on the books Of the
Oentiaental as /" Armstrong" He
was observed to be in possession of q
number of the Richmond Enquirer of
the 25th inst, and his department led
to the suspicion that he might be o
spy. On partial examination he
proved to be a loyal man, born and
resident in New England, and was of
course released. How he came into
possession of so late a number of the
Secession organ of the Richmond trail
tors it is unnecessary to state
From the Examiner we learn that
the Rebels admit a loss Of ouer three
hundred kGlled IN the. battle, or rec
onnoissance, at Balls Buff. They
assert that the river was blackn with
ftheretreating and flying troops of the
acknowledgements. The rebels engag-
ed were Mississippi and Virginia
troops and the Examiner adds that
when the contest grew close the Miss
issippi troops threw away their rifles,
and used their bowie knifes. The at
tack onthe rebels was twice made, byour
troops, and twice repulsed. Rebel
reinforcements were sent for, but were
not used Mr. Armstrong left last

Gen. Kelly,s Column.

This gallant Virginiar, has not only
recovered from his severe wound, in
ficted by the treachery of rebels, last
summer. but is again actively at work
inthe field His headquarters have
alternated lately between Grafton and
New Creek He has had six regi-
ments under his command, and these
have been stretched in line from Cum
berland (Maryland) to Grafton. Their
principle business has been to guard
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad between thes points. and to
keep the Secessionists from making
incursions out Of the valley of Vir-
GINA into the Western port OF that
State. 0efr
By his movement upon Romney,
the Secession forces in the valley of
Shenandoah are outfanked, and Win
chester, only IS miles from this point,
lis seriously menanced. By this route
Manassas can be completely turned, or
a march made upon Richmond through
Stanton, without regard to Beaure-
CARDS army
1t is doubtful, however, whether
Kelly has sufficient force to do more
than maintain himself IF he has more
than enough, there will be forward
movement upon Winchester The
crossing the river at Edwards Ferry,
