How THE ENEMY RECEIVE INFORMATION.
UProNs HILL Va, Oct 23.
That the rebel lines are better picketed than
ours is q notorious fact
While they were in possession of Falls Church,
IL is well known they received copies Of our
leading journals almost daily. A copy of the
New York Herald, of a recent date, was found
yesterday by a scout near Fairfax Court House,
in house within the rebel lines. OF course
they got no very important information from
the papers Of late /; but the fact that the rebels
get Them requires attention. 1t shows that
there iS n locscness on the lines somewhere.
The rebels allow no communication between
the families on their lines without guard
while the families on our lines have easy inter.
course with families ,oithoM The lines, and, OF
course, through them with the enemy.
Why is it. Or officers oil the outposts, In
many cases, don't seem to see the difference
between justice to families who are so unfortu
nate as to be situated near the lines, and duty
to our country.
A case came within my own observation this
morning, which will, perhaps, illustrate the
po iteness exercised toward persons of well
known secession sympathies.
IL seems, on Sabbath guard was stationed
at u house short distance beyond our line oil
pickets. The inmates Of the house were some
| half dozen grass widows who make no secret
| Of their secession principles, and one old man
During the afternoon, the old man insinuated
to the boys that 1t would not be very pleas
ant to have conflict there with party of the
other army" The boys didn't know what to
think OF this and, about dusk In the evening
the corporal withdrew the guard back to an.
other post.

pckets, coming along shortly afterwards, in.
q,lred into the matter, and finally selected two

the neghboing woods, they came along to the
| house and knocked at the door. The old man
came out and answered several questions asked
him, which were very satisfactory, and the
party retired not mstrusting that they had
violated any right of property or any article oi
war.
The guard was agsin posted there in the
morning. The maj commanding the guard
happened 10 pass by the house during the day
and iu the course of conversation with the
,cilo,rs. (I suppose.) heard of the incident o.

THE BATTLE OF BALLS BLUFF.

Gen. Evans. who commanded the Conled
crate force. admits (as reported in the Richmond
papers, loss OF three hundred killed and
wounded. 1t may be presumed to be very
much greater than he is willing to admit.
The battle was fought three-fourths of mile
below Courad's Ferry. and Immediately upon
the Virginia bank of the river. The locality is
thus described
The landing was upon steep. clayey bank
tea feet high. very slippery. Having gsined
the top OF this muddy bank, they struck path
which they followed to the left for about opp
hundred yards, when they filed right, went up
over the hill, at an angle OF A. degrees, the top
ot which was some 100 feet above the river
level. Here they came to an open space $50
yards wide and 800 long, which was surrounded
IN the right. left and front with dense forest
10 which the enemy was strongly posted, but
entirely protected from view. 10 the rear, was
the steep hill which they had ascended. On
the centre OF the opening was q gully. and at
the lett cow-path thus, with the liver be-
hind them, the troops fought desperately. To
think ot retreat was equivalent to death by
"l,et. bS drowning. or Of torture and imprs
onment among the rebels
The crossing from Harrisous Island was
effected in three scows and batteaux. The
only artillery We had in the engagement con
sisted Of a stx-pounder and two howizers.
