FORTRESS MONROE, June 17.-Three hun
dred Zouaves, under Lieut.. Col. Warren, &C.
companied by Capt. Smith of the Topographic.
cal engineers, lett this morning to reconnoiter
in the vicinity of Big Bethel, and up the route
to Yorktown. They took artillery and two
days rations.
Gen Butler has directed several guns TO be
rifled as soon as possible fol the Sawyer shell.
The guns are to be placed on board the Gaia
line, she having been fired at by rebel tug
aud from Sewef's Point. a battery of light
artillery was got in readiness as soon as posi-
bic.
Men can, today, be seen at work ON Sewelfs
Point, probably constructing water battery.
The rited gun on the Rip Raps will be brought
to bear on them. Lieut.. Butler and others
proceeded to Big Bethel today, with flag of
truce for the body OF Major Winthrop.
Some OF the soldiers on furlough, say that
Gen. Butler is preparing to march on Bethel
in force There is said to be a large force of
rebels stationed between Yorktown and Big
Bethel.
Gen. Butler is greatly chagrined at the re-
suit OF the affair at Big Bethel, especially since
he has heard of the vain boasting of Col Ma
gruder, the commandment of the rebels, and
the anxiety sarcasticaliy expressed by him
that Gen. Pierce shall command the next eX-
petition against him. For these reasons the
general is resolved to wipe out the disgrace of
the repulse at Big Bethel by giving Magruder
a sound thrashing.

Col Holloway in command Of the troops
there, There was no pursuit of the cavalry,
and on Friday state forces were concentrating

waiting. They expected an attack.
Col. Curtis Iowa regiment, was to proceed

nibai and St. Joseph road to Ronicok station,
and thence across the country 80 miles TO
BOonsville.
About thirty rebels attacked small number

on the Missouri road near St. Charles, but
were repulsed. Two of the federal troops are
said to be mortally wounded
Col. Boernstein is continually sending

A correspondent of the Leavenworth Con-
sentative, writing from Kansas City, Friday,
says that on Thursday two companies of cav.
airy and one of Dragons were sent toward

Kansas City at 10 o'clock on Friday morning,

lars were holding parley with the rebels, the
latter attempted 10 outflank the regulars, but
did not succeed The regulars retired in good
order. The rebels had seven pieces Of can
non in sight, and fired a few rounds. But
one shot was fired by our troops, as they were
not prepared to meet so large a body.

LATEST FROM VIENNA.

ALEXANDRIA, June lS.-A train came from
Vienna at half past four this afternoon. All
was quiet at that point. There were 5000 fed
eral troops, including Rawson's battery, in the
vicinity. Two more wounded men of the
Ohio regiment were found in a farm house, to.
day, in the vicinity of Vienna, whittier they
had crawled. Private Mercer died here this
afternoon. The number of casualties is eight
killed and seven wounded.
1t appears that Gen. Schenck received in
formation that the rebels were at Vienna,
when six miles this side of that station, from
a man who hailed the train. 1t is considered
at least unfortunate that the Ohio regiment
should have been distributed along the road
before entering the enemies lines, leaving but
a small force to contend with what is always
to be apprehended from the course of the reb-
els in planting masked batteries and laying in
ambuscades.
1t was providential that the rebels them
selves retired with the impression that such
small force as they had attacked was but the
advance guard Of grand army, and that the
engineer in putting back was after reinforce
ments, otherwise the small band might in
reality have been cut TO pieces, as was feared
had been the case.
