A Washington despatch to the Herald
says Col Lucius Fairchild, CT the I'd
W. sconsin regiment was to- day made
Brigadier- General for gallanlry 10 the
battle of Gettysburg
The military authorities here have not
reached any positive conclusion as to
either the strength or position OF Lees
army.
Our cavalry finds the enemy in every
direction, but their main body has been
effectually concealed. One opinion en-
tertained is that Lee has retired behind
Bull Run Mouriain, and is falling back
towards his eLffenched position on the
Rapid Ann, but some Of the most ex-
perienced officers here believe that the
principal part of his infantry has been
sent in the direction of Harper's Ferry
and Winchester with view of covering
and supporting another extensive cavalry
raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania.

receive only 500 bounty. Men en-
listed under this order will be permitted

ever, must be one of the old regiments in
| the field.

Bristow Station to-day, and tomorrow
supply trains will run 10 and beyond that
point, The trestle bridge at Bristow
was burned by the rebels. Tae track
