A SKIRM.ISIt.


A skirmish occurred on the 9th inst. neav
Fairfax Court House, between tho Lincoln
Cavalry and Company of the 1st Maryland
Infantry. 1t resulted in the capture Of Is of
the latter, comprising Second Lieut.. Jos. ii.

poral Edward p. Sheehan, and 10 privates.
Stewart is a Virginian, an ex-merchant Of
Alexandria. The non-cOmmissioned officers are
freshmen, and the privates Mary landers. In
the action Sheehan had his leg shattered by
pistol-buet McCourt received o sabre-cut on
the head. 1t is said that one of our eutenants
name not stated was killed. The Secession

THE NEw-GRANADIAN COMMISSION.
The New.Granadinn Commission terminated
by its own limitation yesterday. Mr.. Hur-
stado, on behalf of New Granada, asked for an
extension of the time, on the ground that he
was unable to consider and pass upon all the
cases within the time limited. Last week the
Senate agreed TO All extension of six months,
and until to-day, it has been supposed that the
time had been extended. This afternoon it is
understood that New-Granada declines to ac-
| cept the extension, and that, in consequence,
large portion of the claims have not been de-
cided By the fifth article Of the treaty oil
these cases are cut off as to any liability OF
that Government. The American Commissioner
on Saturday last notified the Commissioner OF
| New Granada that he was ready to decide all
the cases This sudden termination of the Com
mis- sion BY the action of New.Granada is thus
far accounted for. The necessary steps will be
taken By our Government to protect the rights
of our citizens.
