There Is great excitement here over the
| bloody affair which occurred yesterday at
Vienna. Eight of the Ohio soldiers who were
| shot BY the rebels have since died. Six ex-
pired last night and seven others this morn
| ing. No blame is attached to Gen. Schenck,
| the commander of the Federal troops, for it
| is stated that he acted under the positive or
ders of Gen. Mcdowell. Col. Hunters third
regiment of cavalry was ordered over to vi
emma last night. Our pickets and out-posts
generally were back last evening.
Probably no further attempts will be made
| to extend the railroad communication and
telegraph lines along the Loudoun aud Hamp-
shire railroad, until the Federal troops are
strengthened by large reinforcements.
