passed into Virginia during last night. The
Government is concentrating large number
of troops here, in anticipation of an advance

constantly arriving at Fairfax yesterday and

row.

from Alexandria to-day, on the Loudon Rail-

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Information reach
ed Col Heintzleman's head quarters in Alex
andria. this morning, that there were move
ments at the Rebel camp at Manassas juno
ton, yesterday, indicating intention to re-
treat from that point A large number of
wagons were concentrating and troops en-
gagged in packing up. 1t is believed in mill
tary circles that they will fall back on Ma
nassas Gap, twenty miles west of the juno
ton.
The insurgents are reported to be greatly
suffering from wa t of water and medicines.
Advices were received to-day, at the War
Department, announcing that Col. Stones
brigade, consisting of one thousand District
First, Maine First, New Hampshire First,
and some artillery and cavalry, yesterday
crossed the Potomac at Edwards Ferry, and
marched and occupied Leesburg, five miles
distant, without meeting any resistance.
Leesburg is the terminus of the Alexandria,
and Loudoun Railroad, and its
opens a direct communication
between the Federal forces now advancing
INTO Virginia from Harper's Ferry and the
army in and about Washington. 1t renders
The position of the rebels at Manassas juno
lion untenable.
The entire secession force at Harper's Fer
~ doubtless retreated to Winchester.
Gen. Scott received news of the occupation
Of Harper's Ferry by the advance guard of
Gen. Patterson's army last night. The Fed
eral troops also crossed at Point of Rocks, in |
strong force.
At this moment at least forty thousand |
Union troops are on Virginia soil, on STRAIT |
egetic line from Alexandria to Harper's Fer |
y. Military authorities pronounce the Sc
;ession cause in Northern Virginia already |
ost and consider it almost certain that the |
'ebels will gradually allow themselves to be |
pushed back to James river without making |
any decisive battle. 1t now looks as though |
Gen. Buffers promise to have the stars and |
stripes floating over Richmond on the 10th |
)rOx., would be made good.
