Capture of a Federal Regiment.

An Indiana regiment, 700 strong, has fallen into the hands of our cavalry at Falls Church, about nine miles from Alexandria and three from the fortifications at Arlington. The regiment was in the battle of Manassas, and suffered heavily. Being unacquainted with the country, these men got lost during the retreat, and wandered about until Friday morning, when they arrived at Falls Church, entirely exhausted. The fact becoming known to our scouts, a message was dispatched to Manassas, and a detachment was soon on the way. The result was, the capture of the entire body, with all their arms. The prisoners were expected in Richmond last night.
