As they increased in numbers very rapidly, I thought it best to send a detachment over, to ascertain the design of the enemy, and if possible, give him a check on that side of the river.

The regular train, which should have arrived here last night at ten o'clock, was attacked by about four hundred of Stuart's cavalry, under command of Lee, at Bristow, a place some four miles and a half west of Manassas.
The first intimation the passengers had of the approaching danger was a sudden shock, occasioned by the engine running into a pile of ties placed upon the track.
Fortunately the machine was going at a high rate of speed, and the obstruction was removed without throwing the train from the track.
The rebel cavalry had undoubtedly concluded upon no such result, for they were drawn up in line on each side of th
