| By all accounts, the enemy crossed the
river last night in large force. They stopped the Leesburg train {on
the Alexandria, Loudoun & Hampshire RR} six
miles from Alexandria, a reliable man informs me, who saw them. They may be moving on
Leesburg possibly on us. I have just heard from Hunton. He has taken
necessary measures to prevent surprise by rail, but they will not
move that way. *****
