HEADQUARTERS ARMY, July 21, 1861.
General MCDOWELL, Fairfax Court-House : Three regiments—Woodbury’s, McOunn’s, and another, name not known—are at Fairfax Station. , A commissary train is stopped a little way out of Alexandria with a drove of cattle. Call it up, if you mean to risk a stand; but under
the circumstances it seems best to return to the line of the Potomac.
