THE ADVANCE INTO VIRGINIA..

Major General PATTERSON crossed the Potomac

Nd, and formed upon the "sacred soiI' of
Virginia The ford of the river was found
easy, and ms regiment after regiment entered
the liquid element to the sound of soul-inspir-
ing music, and marched gaily along, the sight
was most imposing. Such a scene can be wit,
messed but rarely, and the gallant men who
participated in the movement, as well as the
thousands who witnessed it, will never forget
the memorable second Never was more gall
termined: never did hearts beat more nobly
than did those of the thousands who had raj

oppressed in every land have looked upon for
half acentury as the beacon of liberty.
They anticipated nothing less than an en-
gagement with the sol Tiers of the self styled
Southern Confeleracy, who had boosted go,

cry attempt to invade the soil of tho seeded
States, but this anticipationh no terrors for
them. The cause for which they had buckled
on their armor is q holy one, and in su pport of
it they were ready to brave every danger
The feeling which animates an invader who

to them. They made no war for the purposes

they dreaded not the result. That soil which
had been the birthplace Of Washington, Jeffer-t

sacks, tin,cups, and cantGens, and at interval
the dead and, wounded gathered into groups
gave melancholy aspect TO the scene. The
secession forces fed with such speed that the
pursuit was abandoned, and the two Feg,
ments actively engaged returned. Captain
)McMulia's Rangers also participated in the
engagement and behaved most daringly. The
artillery engaged on the Union side was q por
tion of Capt. Perkins battery, and the manner
in which it was controlled and used is 9esery-
ing of all praise asa4 a .54tr
!, On the side, of the Union troops one man was
killed--a privatein the Wisconsin RegimentanA
some six or eight wounded-none dangerously.
The loss onthe part Of the seccders was much
greater. Two men were found dead along The
road, and later intelligence states positively tha!
The, killed we're hauled off by wagouilopds.. The
number wounded on that side was large, but il
is impossible'to estimate it with any certainty.
The firing was heard by the Second and Third
! Pennsy lRania Regiments, commanded by Coils.
Stumbaugh and MINER, and led by Gen Wyn-
koop, soon after they had crossed the river and .
the news quickly reached them thatan engage

marched at "a, speed that would have been i'm
