ARRESTED AnD Dismisszp —Yesterday a war- rant was issued, ‘bh not dated, by Justice Rarnaclo, on the oath of H. Rutter. who charged Owen Smith, Wm. Faller, Adam Redebaugh, Nelson Wernst and E. McQuade with obtaining ‘seventy-nine bead of cattle from bim by false pre- ‘tenses, and feloniovsly defranding him. The ‘warrant was directed Patrolman Hannan and County Officer Watson, who promptly arrested the three first-named of the accused party at the “depot, as the cars were about to start, day sMernoon, and carried them before Justice Doon. It ane that the parties accused are drovers dealing in the Philadelphia cattle market, and the Prosecutor hed purchased of thetn the Cattle upon what they called cash paymentt—that is, checks ble at a banking house or broker’s in Phila- a a certain day—the cattle to be used in Philadelphia. The purchaser put the cattle on the cars and brought them to the District. drovers followed the cattle, and em| Detee- tives Allen and Busher to recovet them. They ‘went with a warrant to Geotgetown, and met Rutter coming from the dtove vard, and arrested bim. Rutter voluntarily agreed to give up the cattle, to besold by the drovers, or either of them; and if the sale produced anything above the amount Rutter was to give, the profits should go ‘Yo bim, If for less, the drovers to sustain the loss. The cattle were sold and did not realize the amount, and Mr. Wernst, who was selected the drovers. received the money. The drovers had not received their portions of the pay, but to- day being their sale day in Philadelphia, they were about starting for home when arrested at the cars. The Justice saw no ground whatever for the charge, and at once dismissed the case.

The following telegram from Gen. Stone's com- mand to the Headquarters bere, tells how thenow Progressing fight near Leesburg commenced, this morning : “Epwanrp’s Ferry, Oct. 21, 1661 —This morn- ing, at one o'clock, five companies of the Fif- teenth Massachusetts crossed the river at Herri- son’s Island, at daybresk. They bad proceeded to within a mile and « half of Leesburg without meeting theenemy They still hold on, supported by the remainder of the regiment and part of the Twentieth “A gallant reconnoissance was made early this morning, by Maj. Mix, Van Allen—Cavalry, Capt. Stewart. A. A.G., from Edward's Ferry towards Leesburz, with 30 cavalry. They came on the Mth Mississsipp! regiment, received their fire at 35 yards, and returned it with their pistols, and fell back in order, bringing in one prisoner “* We have. possession of the Virginia side of Edwards’ Ferry.” We learn incidentally that the position of our troops subsequently attacked—by the enemy—was Hamilton Island, about three miles fiom Lees- burg Up to3 p. m to-day Gen. Stone bad held bie own satisfactorily there, though bis comperatively smail force upon the island are engaged with some 4,000 of the enemy. We predict that by sundown to-day either Gen. Stone’s or Gen. McCall's advance will occupy Leesburg. ” Knowing the position of Gen. McCall's divis- jon, we take it for granted that he bastened to get between the force attacking Stone and reinforce- ments to that force from the direction of Lees- burg. THE ALLEGED SUPERSEDURE OF GEN. FREMONT. In a few minutes after publishing our first edition to-day we became satisfied of the incor- rectness of the impression intimated in it, thatere leaving St Louis Secretary Cameron transmitted to Major General Fremont orders assigning Major General Hunter to the command of the depart- ment of Missouri, in his stead. On the contrary, we feel that we may state pos- itively that be (Secretary Cameron) declined to actin the premises until efter bis return here. Of course, these are simply our individual im- pressions, based upon such floating data as we have been able to gatber to-day. THOUGHT BETTER ON’T. It turns out that Beauregard hed determined to give Gen. McClellan a fight on Friday last, at or about the crossing of Goose Creek by the Alexan- dria and Georgetown turnpikes to Leesburg. He bad, on that dey, four regiments of infentry, (the 13th Mississippi being one of them,) and some cavalry, with much baggage. The approach of Gen. McCall’s division in larger force than he anticipsted, however, evi- dently caused him to change bis mind; and he accordingly retired his troops referred to above in the direction of Manavsas. FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE. It is alleged this afternoon that the enemy with- drew entirely out of Fairfex Court House lest night. We have ng time, however, in which to verify the fact, ere going to press. NAVY TARD. There is no news of interest from down the river. The Reliance went down to join the flo- Ulla lest night. The Robert Leslie started down at noon to-day. Asthe particulars of the capture of the schooner Fairfax bave been erroneously stated, we have been at some pains to get a correct account of the affair. Oa Saturday morning, during the prev- alence of a heavy fog down the river, the steamer Resolute made fast to two sc - the Lydia Ann on the starboard side, and the Pair- fax, Capt. Mott, on the larboard. Just as the boats got fairly within range of tM Confederate batteries, about 9 o'clock, a. m., rain commenced falling, and the fog lifted. The Confederates commenced firing rapidly, and in one hour dis- charged 154 rounds at these vessels. ‘The Fairfax received 25 shots in her hull, and about 20 in her deck load of hay, and aloft. One shot passed through the awning of the Resolute, aft, splintering the sustaining bar, and passed into the cabin of the Lydia Ann,where the captain was at dinner—no doubt spoiling bis appetite. The Resolute must have been sunk if it had not been for the protection the Fairfax and ber deck- load of bay afforded. When the vessels were nearly out of range the bawser of the Fairfax parted, and left the Resoluteexposed. If this ac- cident bad occurred ten minutes sooner, the Res- olute must have been sunk. It would heve cer- tainly led to the loss of the Resolute, if an attempt bad been made to again take the Fairfax in tow. The Fairfax fell into the bands of the Confed- erates She was loaded with hay and cement, and had on board a piano and some furniture belonging to Mr. John Evans, of the Williamsburg (N.Y ) Times. That gentleman’s pecuniary joss is about $1,000 ; but be lost some agticles which, on ac- count of family associations, cannot be valued. Some of the men on the vessels assert that they beard the grating of a chain along the kecls of the vessels, but the officers of the flotilla treat the chain story as a good joke. ‘There was a rumor afioat that 500 Confederates bed crossed and recrossed the Potomac last night between Shipping Point and Evansport, but the report is not credited, because the only place where they have boats to enable them to cross is at Aquia Creek, and at that point « crossing would be thwarted, not only by the Gotilia at that point, but by 2 portion of Sickles’ brigade stationed on the Maryland side opposite the moutb of the creek. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA. [Speciai correspondence of The Star.J ALEXANpRia, Oct. 21 —Editer Star: On Satur- day, Robert Snyder was before the provost court for an assault on a Mr. Dwyer, of this city, and fer violent and threatening language against the Federal troops and the Union men of the city. Judge Friese fined him $500, and held bim te bel; in the sum of $5.000 for bis good behavior. Several vessels arrived on Saturday afternoon and night, baving passed the blockade during the day, among them the schooner Eliza Jane, from Philadelphia. She was struck five times in pessing the batteries, but sustained but little damages except by one shot, which struck ber mainmast. Everything is quiet here to-day. A reconnois- sance was made towards Fairfax Court Bouse yes- terday, and it is sald that « movement will be made at far 28 Garges’ or Goodwin's to-day. 68.3.2.
