The Cleveland Grays at Vienna.

lage and one Of the Cleveland Grays,
writes to the Plain Dealer minute ac-
count Of the unfortunate affair al Vienna.
We have only room for the following ex-
tract, which will be read with interest by
the numerous friends OF the writer in this
vicinity:
As we turned the curve at Vienna tho
track assumed a slightly "down grade"
The village is situated upon a hill, which
is scarcely distinguishable until quite near.

there was a puff Of smoke. a report, and
wbis came six pound ball directly over
our heads. This was Immediately fol-
lowed by rapid discharge from all the
guus-four in number. The whislling oI
the balls was almost deafening. They

Miraculously for the Grays. who, as said
before, were upon the first car, not a man
was injured, with the exception Of Hamp'
son, who received Sigh, wound in the
leg, from the bursting Of shell. The
cause OF this wonderful escape was owing
10 the fact shat when the train wat

very little under the range OF the battery

We were moved from Camp Goddard

long train OF hog cars, beautifully deco
rated with slat seats and, the wors, Of
all, there were about three inches OF fne
lime in the bottom, which, If the Colone
had shipped, would have been very good
for weak eyes but our Colonel thinks
too much Of the noble ! aM" to transport
them as freight in hog cars. We waited
until evening, and then came 10 Bellair,
four miles below Wheeling then shipped
aboard Of this boat, and have not left it

up here last. We are waiting for our
artillery to come on board.

There are two Regiments here with us, =
the l7th and l9th,-and there are several

Another Account Of the Attack on
Vienna,

ALEXANDRIA, Juno Is, l3 AS has
been stated, a Reconnaissance was mado by
U. 5. forces from this city as far on as
Vienna, fourteen miles from Alexandria. on
Sunday, and the road seemed clear at that
time, but to properly protect it, tho FIRST
Ohio Regiment, Col. McCook, aud Brigadier
General SchoDck, were sont out to station
plckot guaid de along tho line.
Tho train OF seven cars backed out by a
locomotive, loft Alexandria about nouo, aud
projected on it's way. dropping detachments
all along tho road. aud meeting no utter
ruptions until entering tho straight SIT uotch
near VIenaa, when man stepped out upon
tho road and waived his hand beck oning the
train to stop. aud warned tho,n "for Gods
sake not to 60 ou," as they we're dead men
II they did that thcte was a battery aud
stroug force of tho enemy ahead. Tho
officer in command Of iha Federal troops
paused a moment with his hand ON his foro
head, us il turning tho mattor over in his
mind, and thon beekonUd 10 tho engineer to
90 ou.
They proceeded s short distance. when
a battery on the high ground, to the right
Of the road above Vienna, opened fire
upon the train, and at the same time dis.
charges Of grape and nusketry were
aimed by the enemy in the same direction
The FIRE Of the enemy, which seemed Ia
be more especially directed in the start tc
disabling the engine, was particularly dc.
structve amongst the meu huddled upon
the tender.
The Federal forces meantime left the
cars in admirable order. considering the
Sudaenness Of the attack, and took position
in The woods to the left. They fred FIRST
upon the batteries discharge oil masketry
but finding the euemy's batteries strongly
posted and supported by cavalry and in
lantry. they could not hope to carry them
until reinforced, aud withdrew to cover,
above stated carrying with them, however,
their dead and wounded. ...
Ayrs Hill, where the batteries were
stationed. is a very commanding point,
and is perhaps the highest ground in
Fairfax county. The purpose of the Ell :
emy was evidently to get the cars with
the Federal troops on the straight stretch
OF the road before opening their murder
Gus fire. 1t is certain that there were
three eight pound guns 10 the battery, ,and
probably other artillery.
The Ohio companies behaved with
much credit in their unpleasant position,
and Gen. Schenck, particularly, is said TO
have displayed perfect coolness and self
possession. There seems 10 have been a
lack Of forethought in not sending out
scouts in advance, AS the country is favor
able to such accommodating but, when
once in the difficulty, both men and officers
apparently did the best possible.
There could not be a more exposed
point 10 leave three companies without
artillery 10 back :hem, or keavy force
with scouts fully posted as to the move
