troops of Gen. McDowell's division, including
Ohio regiments, have moved forward from Balls
cross reads to the neighborhood Of Falls Church
about miles distant from either Fairfax c. II :,
or Vienna. Capt. Tompkins of the cavalry, re-
turned from recon- distance this p. m. from to-
ward Vienna and reports force of $500 rebels
at that point-if as is probable, the latter should
be reinforced tonight, q battle between these
forces will be almost inevitable tomorrow.
A collision occurred this morning between a
picket guard of the second Connecticut regiment
and rebel picket near Falls Church, The Conn.
picket was ordered to occupy the position held
by the rebel picket. It's reported that on TAX
ing possession of the ground, one of the Conn.
men was killed and four wounded. The loss of
the other side is supposed to be greater. This
report needs confirmation, although it is from
reliable source. .s
learn from Gen. Walbridge that the Govern
ors of all the States have replied to his letters
inquiring whether they were in favor of vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war. They are q unit in
declaring that they are ready with men and mon
oy to bring the war to an end.
Col. Richie, of Gov. Andrews staff, tele
graphed to the Gov. tonight, at the request OF
the Government, to start seven of the ten regi-
ments accepted yesterday by tomorrow. 1t is
said the seven regiments referred to, have been
drilling for some time and are thoroughly ap
pointed and ready to start. ssrgf
1t is now evident that the main blow against
the rebels will be struck from the Federal CAPT.
tai. The army Of Washington consists of fully
one cavalry regiments of regulars; 81 regiments
from the city and State Of New York; from
Penn; from Maine; from Iowa; 8 from Mich
igan; from Ohio; 2 from Mass / from X. l.,
and batteries Of light artillery. 10000 more
men will be added to this immense body early
next week. 10000 with the District militia will
be sufficient for the events at the capital
So that 3 grand army of Al, 900 as spirited
troops as can be found any where, can be moved
against the rebels. With the aid of Gen. Patter-
sons division they will be more than sufficient to
break the lines Of the rebels and drive them in
the direction OF Richmond.
Surprise has been expressed in some quarters
at the failure OF Gen. Scott to prevent the erec-
ton of batteries at various points on the right
bank o! the Potomac.
The impending advance of the Union army to-
wards Richmond, however, will either compel
the rebels " move their batteries or render them
an easy prey to the Union forces Gen. Scott is
oimpy in0isposed to take at a great sacrifice of
life, what will be had in due time without blood
shed. o. 20 fsEs - E1-e.s
Gen. AcClellen has been instructed to sweep
the last vestages o. secession both in north west
ern and south western Virginia, His army will
be strongly reinforced for immediate operations
south OF the Kanaa ha river.
The heavy seA-coast guns are not quite all
wanted in The batteries on the Virginia side and
the regular artierists are daily drilling at them
for several hours
An opinion is entertained here, that the main
body OF the rebel army has not returned TO the
neighborhoOd OF Harpers Ferry, but only de.
tacnments, to attract the attention Of Gen. Pat
tsrsons division by creating the Impression of
she return OF all of Gen. Johnston's force, to
prevent the sending forward Of any part of Gen.
Patterson's troops TO strengthen the Federal col
umn here. There is reason TO believe that in
the meantime the principal part Of Gen. John
ston,s command are now in the vicinity Of Lees
burg and Edwards Ferry.
ITimes's Dispatchl
Secretary Seward gives notice that hereafter
NO passports to leave the country, or to pass
within the lines of the rebels, signed by foreign
Ministers or Consuls will be good, unless coun-
tersigned by State department. 10

mont and probable destiny, that, Howell Cobb,
who has two sons in the Georgia regiment,

bade them he Of good courage, and pledged his
word OF honor that within three months the Con-
federate army would not only occupy Washing
ton, but would have subdued the entire Union

their treason to the end, ~
