will make the eighteenth piece. The soldiers have already given them some odd names, such as "Pretty Boy," "Peace Maker," " Conscience Settler," "Secession Pill Machine," etc. From a prisoner I obtained the following particulars concerning the First Virginia Regiment of Cavalry, which was engaged in the action at Hainesville: Loudoun County Cavalry, fifty men, Capt, Carter; Rockingham County Cavalry, sixty men, Captain White, three other companies from counties unknown, commanded by Capt. Yancey, fifty men; Capt. Haye, seventy-five men, and Capt. Doyle, sixty men. Besides these there were four other companies, the names of whose captains my informant could not give me. Wm. Kerfoot, a member of the Berkeley Border Guard, under Capt. Nadenbush, was arrested yesterday. He has been a very violent Secessionist, but is now released upon his parole because of the sickness of his wife. Yesterday the troops found 23 stand of arms in the county jail, concealed under beds.-- Duga

Col. Lytle, has just gone forward to their rescue from this place. Troops under Gen. M'Dowell. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes: There are now thirty-two regiments across the river under the command of General McDowell. The First (Maine) went yesterday, and another to-day. These intend to join the left wing of Gen. McDowell's corps d'armiee, and go by boat to Alexandria, thus saving many miles hard march. Several regiments were under orders to leave to-Gen. McDowell's corps d'armiee, and go by boat to Alexandria, thus saving many miles hard march. Several regiments were under orders to leave to-day, but they have generally been countermanded. If there is to be any advance upon Manassas Junction, then most of the thirty-eight regiments on this side of the Potomac must cross over. But half of these have no wagon trains, there not being a hundred horses here yesterday, though wagons and provisions seemed to be in abundance. A thousand or two more horses are needed, of which number perhaps half are somewhere between this city and Harrisburg. Trains carrying horses are so much delayed

Latest Newswar matters. reported skirmish — arrest of Col. Thomas--Affairs about Winchester--Northern telegraphic reports, &c., &c. Important intelligence, which we sincerely hope may be confirmed, was received here yesterday from the army in the Northwest, under General Garnett. A letter to a distinguished military gentleman states that an engagement had taken place between the First Georgia Regiment (Col. Ramsay,) and three regiments of the enemy, near Phillippi, in which the latter were completely routed, with considerable loss. It is further stated that the gallant Georgians took a large number of prisoners, and secured all the camp equlpage, baggage, &c., of the enemy. The medium through which this news is received renders its authenticity probable, and it is therefore generally credited here. Our loss is represented to be but two; that of the enemy sixty. The Central train yesterday brought no news of an exciting character. The only report we heard
Johnston (search for this): article 1
e information about the plans of the enemy, their past operations, and the number of their forces, has been gleaned from the private correspondence and papers of Capt. Nadenbush, commander of the Berkeley Border Guard. Rumors prevail of General Johnston's Secession column having been reinforced from Richmond to the number of 7,000. This, however, is deemed unreliable. Unless the wanton destruction of private property is stopped upon this line, every ten miles the column marches an addal's company of the 21 cavalry, turned out and marched two miles southward to-day at noon. There was some firing upon the extreme right at a few scattered troopers, but no casualties occurred so far as I have been able yet to learn. Gen. Johnston, I believe, has now 25,000 men between this point and Winchester. His cannon have been increased to twenty-two pieces, of various calibre. In the affair of to-day the Scott Legion led the advance and marched farthest toward the supposed pos

Washington, Saturday afternoon.--Two of the Federal pickets were captured this morning at the house of a man named Small, about two and a half miles below here. They were surrounded by the Confederate cavalry. Their capture was entirely owing to their imprudence in venturing beyond their posts. Under a false report the 8th, 16th and 9th Pennsylvania Regiments, the Scott Legion and Captain Royal's company of the 21 cavalry, turned out and marched two miles southward to-day at noon. There was some firing upon the extreme right at a few scattered troopers, but no casualties occurred so far as I have been able yet to learn. Gen. Johnston, I believe, has now 25,000 men between this point and Winchester. His cannon have been increased to twenty-two pieces, of various calibre.

The follow is an extract from the letter: "Two companies of cavalry, one from Washington county, and one from Amelia county, passed through here this morning to join Col. Stuart. "The Militia of Frederick, Clarke, Shenandoah, Rockingham, Page, Warren, Jefferson and Berkeley counties have been ordered out for six months or the war, and ordered to rendezvous here. Berkeley and Jefferson have not, as yet, responded to the call. A squad of men, however, left here by railroad this morning for Jefferson, to draft them into service. "A large body of Federal troops passed up the Potomac, opposite Harper's Ferry, on Sunday. "It is believed that the Federal force at Martinsburg are being daily reinforced.
