Correspondence Of the Baltimore EzchAsl


WASHINGTON, July 3, l86l.-A flag Of truce is
now in the city from Gen. Be&uregsrd. It seeks an
exchange of prisoners, and protests against cruel
Outrages perpetrsted by Federal soldiers upon pri
vate and unarmed citizens of Virginia. Gen. Nc
DOweH of the Federal forces, accompanies the flag
and will leave with it tonight or tomorrow for
Falls Church.
Gen. Mcdowell was with Gen. Scott two hours
last night He recommends that no attack be made
with less than so 900 men, and that they be divided
into three columns Scott believes that the entire
success of the war depends on the first important
engagement, and while forward movement is go
ing on in the rear guard of the army, the reserve
corps and sappers and miners are engaged in erect
ing earthWorks in the immediate neghbOrhOod CT
the city. These Notifications now extend from
Alexandria to Georgetown There is every reason
to believe that Gen. Mcdowell has received his or
ders TO march with the main body of his column
(33 000) for Manassas; so that we may expect to
hear of grand pitched battle probably on Monday
next Owing to reinfOrcements sent to Gen Johns
sten the real strength of Beauregards army at the
Junction is not known.
There is yet no cessation in the advance of the
troops from this city. One Massachusetts, regiment
left for Alexandria this morning at six o'clock and
two other New York; are under marching orders,
and expected to leave to-day also. Since last Mon:
day DULY 1st) there have passed into Virginia 81
200 troops, with all their baggage, equipments and
entrenching tools.
Seventy-one members of the twenty-iifth regiment
New York Volunteers were sent to jail yesterday
for revolving. They were ordered to repair to the
United States arsenal and there exchange their En-

above stated refused to comply with the order,

Three railroads lead out from Alexandria, one up
the Potomac to Leesburg-whieh is near the fOst

from Alexandra to Hampshire Along the lines of
these roads are the points Vienna and Falls Church

the friends Of Col Thomas reniOnstrate against his
coming to Baltimore, though they we're ignorant Of
the presence of the officers on board. but he per
sisted in his determination and against all entreaty
that could be used he declared that he would come
up. Shortly after the boat left the pilot Of the schoon
which was laden with coffee informed the officers
of the presence of Col Thomas, and they at once
arrested him. They then drew their pistols and
took their positions the quarter deck to prevent
the possibility Of escape By the small boats Col
T. at once determined to leave the boat possible
but no opportunity was Afforded him. Capt.
Weems was then ordered to stop at Fort McHenry,
