patches that an important Union move

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.1
WASHINGTON, June 18th.
Your correspondent visited the encampment
Of the Federal troops On the Virginia side Of
the Potomac, to-day. We found the position
Of. the troops unchanged-the. Connecticut
snd Ohio brigades oecupy the extreme ad-
vince posts In close proximity to Falls
Church, 3 rebel station
Gen. Tyler, Of the Connecticut brigade, had
positive information in regard to the strength
Ct the rebels between Falls Church and Ma
nazsas Junction. Between the two points are
about eix thousand men, consisting OF the
third, fifth and portion of the eighth South
Carolina, the fifth Alabama and first Louisiana
regiments, two companies Of cavalry and two
batteries ct Light artillery. Of these troops,
about two Thousand are ut Vienna, under com
mand Of Gen Bingham
The rebels live mainly on hard bread and
poor bacon, Of which they have plenty. Fresh
meat IL doled out to them semi-occasionally.
They suffer much from want Of water, which
is hard to get on that ele7ated land.
The time Of service of Col Aaxey Gregg's
South Carolina regiment expired to day; and
Gen. Ty1er's informant states positively that
the men composing it will return home. They
are dissatisfied with the service, and say that
they are required for the defence Of their own
State. Over three hundred Of the South Caro-
linisns are down with the measles at Manas-
sss. The rebel troops had received two
| moEths' pay in some sort Of Virginia scrip, to
which forced circulation is given in exchange
! fer goods and provisions. They are without
coin.
Gan. Besurega1d was at Fairfax Court
House night before last, making new disposi-
tions Of his forces. The fact that the best Of
the rebel forces are Put in the extreme front,
and made to do scout duty, indicates their de-
termination to dispute every inch Of ground
The remains Of Capt. Ward were taken to
! New York to-day for interment. His loss is
j greatly deplored.
It seems to be conceded that Col. Fremont

as en Independent command, aud that he will

Mississippi.
Gen. Dix visited the Vi.giaia side to day.
Frank Blair is in town, and will be serenad'
