The Rebels Intending to Gross into Ma
rylan6.


PHILADELPHIA, August 29.-The
Washington National Republican of to-
day, says AIr. Hawxhurst, of Fairfax,
and Clerk of the Circuit Court, says that
he and all the Union men in Fairfax
were compelled to leave there on
Wednesday, the rebels having taken pos
session of the place. Yesterday he re-
turned to learn the fate of his family
but was met on the way by citizens from
Vienna, who were escaping from that
place, 700 rebel cavalry having made a
descent upon it. But one Union man is
left in Vienna, which is but Il miles
from Washington. 1t is understood
that there is large rebel force at Lees
ourg, and the prevailing opinion is,
that they intend crossing into Maryland !,
by way of Walkers Ford, the water not
being more than knee deep there.

Heavy Firing on Snturday-The Rebel
Scouts Near Chain Bridge.

VI ASHINGTON, August 81.
Pope's statement that Heintzclman 5
corps would move on the enemy at day
light, is confirmed by heavy firing from
that vicinity. Rumors of various sue
cessess reach us, but need contribution
Yesterday the rebel scouts were seen
at Langley's, near the Chain Bridge
Every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent surprise in that direction. The
impression prevails that the rebels have
been entrapped, and the result Of the
recent maneuvering is looked for in
tensely.
Gen. Pope's conduct is highly praised
in Government and other quarters
Nearly 1000 Government clerks re-
paired to the battle field to attend to
the dead and wounded on both Sides
Gen. Wadsworth took all the hacks here
and sent them to transport the sick and
wounded.
The following is gathered from pri-
vate sources:
Tuesday night a report reached War
renton Junction that Jackson was again
in our rear. and had taken position on
the railroad near Bristow, four miles
south of Manassas, and burned two rail
road bridges, tore up the track and
taken prisoners all the guards along
the road. This information subsequert
events proved true.

NOLOh ~ >, ", SSpt. i, lOOz,
10 tie seceraL Military Cdnsmittees:
Finding it necessary to extend the
time for tie commencement of drafting
the militia until the 10th inst, [ made
application to the Secretary of War for
permission to extend the recruiting serv-
ice for both the new and old regiments
until that time, and [ am happy to be
able to announce to you that he has com
piled with my request. Recruiting,
therefore, for all the new regiments now
organizing, and for the old regiments in
the field, may at once be resumed and
continued until the 18th of September,
on the same terms and conditions, in
cluding pay and bounty, as heretofore.
For the new regiments there is wanted
about 1000 men, and for the old regi-
rnents about 21 GOO men, or in all, about
%, 600. Can this force be raised by
voluntary enlistment, and thereby save
the trouble, expense and vexation of re
sorting to drafting in Ohio? 1t is be-
! lieved that it can be. More than twice
that number has been raised within the
past few weeks, and surely the gallant
men Of Ohio are not weary in their
good work. The events of the past few
days clearly demonstrate the necessity
Of this large demand upon the patriot
ism ana gaIlantry of the loyal people OF
Ohio, Neither wards, townships nor
counties should stop to inquire whethe r
Or not they have furnished their quota
CIR share of this nations defenders, but
all should do all they are able to do
1t may not be amiss, however, to say in
this connection that the estimate here
tofore of 33 per cent. of the enrolled
militia as each districts proportion is
entirely too low. As, from the returns
made, it is evident that it will require
at least 40 per cent, the returns we have
will furnish the number of volunteers
we have up to this date; and that com
plete justice may be done to each sepa
rate district, you are requested to fur
nish the Commissioners of your respect
i've counties with the names Of all who
may volunteer and be mustered in be
tween this time and the 10th. That he
may give each district due credit there
for, said Commissioners will be fur
nished with the quota due from sucl
district, and will he instructed to draf
only such number as will make up th
deficiency. In communities wher
the,e are no recruiting officers for tn
regiments, the Military Committees ar
authorized to act as such by receivin!

and giving hin, a certificate Of transpor
tation to this city, where he will b

bounty, advance pay, and transportation
