RUMORED sKIRMiSHING.

CAPTURE OF TWO OF OUR SOLDIERS.
A Sergeant and Corporal of q Connecticut
Regiment, who were OOng picket duty, were
captured by party of Beauregard's cavalry last
night. Our advance occupies the positions OF
yesterday.
THE VIENNA AFFAIR.
In the Vienna fight the sword of Lieut.
Woodward of Company c was cut in two in his
hand by grapeshot One account OF the Vienna
affair states that but for al accident the Briga'
der and his regiment might not have Jared as
well as they did. The rebels heard Of Gen.
Schenck's coming to post quad, but had given
him up for the day and were retiring, when the
train was heard in the distance. In turning sud-
denly to resume their position, they broke the
running gear of their ammunition wagon, so that
they were obliged to carry the charges-seven
ioads--they used to the battery by hand. They
ceased firing, it is believed, only because they
had no more ammunition at haod,
RETURN OF REBELS. ..
1t is ascertained that the rebels reoccupied
Vienna and Fairfax COurt-H House, after they had
assured themselves that our troops were not ap.
preaching in force. Intrenchments are, it is
said, going up mile back Of Fairfax. The out
posts are within three or four miles OF each
other, and the pickets of each side will be ex-
posed to those of the other daily. Two wounded
soldiers were brought into the Arlington House
this afternoon.
GUERRILLA PLANS OF BEAUREGARD.
Bcauregard is said to be gradually approach
ing, lying in wait for favOrabie opportunity OF
attack upon detachment or weak point.
TIE REIGN OF TERROR.
Prince William County is suffering from the
terrorism of the Virginia rebellion, as Fair
fax County has suffered. Gangs of soldiers are
securing the county, recruiting for Beauregard,
BY forcing all who can bear arms into the ser
vice. Union men and women, who managed to
escape, have taken refuge here. and in Alexan-
dris, leaving their property behind them. Some
exchanged shots with their persecutOrs, from the
boat in which they fed.
THE NATIONAL FORCE NEAR CHAIN BRIDGE.
There is now a force of some 5000 troops
near the Chnin Bridge-the ID and 26th Penn
sylyania Regiments having joined the lst Massa-
chusetts, I'd and Sd Michigan, and consider
able force of District Volunteers The baggage
wagons of the I4th New-YOrk Volunteers went
30 the same point this evening and viii be
followed BY the men this afternoon. They are
now encamped on the White House grounds.
AFFAIRS AT ALEXANDRIA.
Affairs remain in the same condition ct Alex
andris as yesterday. The troops are kept on
the alert, though no immediate cause Of appre-
hension 10 discernlble. The Ohio camp, how.
ever, is supposed to be directly mensced by the
enemy. Their pickets aod flags are visible from
Gen. schencks headquarters at q distance Of
shout two miles.
SENSATION REPORTS.
The Navy Department has no advices OF the
landing Of troops from our vessels for the forti'
6cation Of points near Savannah or elsewhere on
the Southern coast. The accounts OF such
operations published by some Of your cotempora-
ries are, probably, inventions. At the same
time il il true that the commanders Of our YES.
sells Of war are at liberty. under their general
instruction, to harrass the enemy whenever and
wherever they choose, whether at sea, in harbor,
or along the coast. 1t is not, however. probable
that any permanent fortifcatons for purposes OF
blockade viii be erected at present.
ADDITIONAL TROOPS PROM MASSACHUSETTS.
Notice was to-day sent to Gov. Andrew Of
Massachusetts, that ten additional regiments
would be called for from that State. These
troops are to be fully armed, equipped, and pro-
vided with tents. baggage train, rations and sub.
sistence stores at the expense Of tho State.
THE NEwLY-ACCEPTED REGIMENTS.

Of the regiments accepted by the Government
within few weeks were accepted on condition
that they should Be ready to serve within Q spe.
cited time. Not few have failed 10 comply
with this stipulation, 70 that thsre 10 more room
for now ones than might otherwise be. No fun
regiment that is ready within ten days win bs
likely TO knock long in vain.
