Another sharp conflict has occurred IN hITgInll-
Brigadier General Schcnck, il appears, in pursuance
Of orders received from the chief officer in command
on the south side Of the Potomac, LETT the camp at
Alexandria with the First Regiment of Ohio NOlun-
teers, Colonel NcCook, and proceeded along the
Alexandra, LCwden and Hampshire railroad, placing
guards at the various important points. The object
of the trip was doubtless, one of reconnaissance. and
for the protection Of the railroad tracks, which had
been injured by the rebels and also to look after
guerillas, as the train in which the Connecticut regi-
ment had previously passed along the line had been
fred into by some person and one man killed. When
nearing Vienna, rs the few remaining companies in
the train were turning the curve. a masked battery
suddenly opened fire on the troops with somewhat
fatal effect. The guns were well placed, command
ing a deep cut Of the railway, and the fire could not
be returned by the troops, nor could the batteries be
outAanked or turned, because of the nature Of the
ground. In consequence of the engineer beating a
hasty retreat with the locomotive, the troops were
deprived of a ~rallying point, and of all means Of
transportation for the wounded, except 10y means of
filters and blankets. Notwithstanding these disad-
vantages the troops retired in good order to n point
where they intended 10 await the arrival of reinforce
ments. At four o'clock Tuesday morning the First
and Second regiments Of Connecticut volunteers joined
them at about four miles east of Vienna. The re-
maindcr of the First Ohio regiment moved to the
rescue Of their comrades on Monday night, and the
Second Ohio regiment broke camp Tuesday morning
to proceed to the same spot. The SiXty-ninth y. I.
5. VI. and cavalry regulars, besides a battery of fly
ing artillery were also sent forward from Alexandria.
Later news represent all things quiet ut Vienna that
the rebels had retired, and THAI about 5000 Union
troops, with a battery, were concentrated n that spot.
