Major Johnson, of the 17th New York regiment, who commands the pickets of that regiment on the Leesburg Turnpike beyond Falls Church, reports that a body of rebel cavalry made their appearance at 1 o'clock, to-day, within a mile of his outpost. A detachment was sent out to effect their capture, but they succeeded in making their escape. Capt. Mundee, Assistant Adjutant General for Gen. Smith's Division, with a small escort, advanced on the road leading from Lewinsville, to within a short distance of Vienna, on a foraging expedition. The result was the bringing off of about 60 loads of hay and 250 bushels of oats. Everything in that direction was reported quiet. The party on the reconnoissance of General McCall, which advanced to Drainesville on Saturday, returned this morning, the object of the expedition having been accomplished, and valuable information obtained.

myself, ten Texas Rangers, of Terry's late command, and fifteen of my squadron, left here on the 7th inst., at two P. M., and proceeded in the direction of Nashville. Marching eighteen miles, and avoiding the pike, we encamped for the night. Early on the morning of the 8th, having procured suitable guides, we resumed our march and entered the Federal lines. At half a mile from a cavalry camp, which we were compelled to pass in full view, we captured five men belonging to the 18th Ohio, Col. Smith. Their arms — Enfield rifles — were also secured. Passing the cavalry camp, we continued our march in the direction of Nashville. Having obtained a suitable position in the woods, opposite the Lunatic Asylum, where we had a good view of the pike, operations commenced. Seeing a wagon train with its guard approaching, Col.
