Trees had been felled across the road at three points to obstruct the march,but they prove ed feeble impediments. Half a mile this side of Fairfax an embankment had been thrown up across the road half a mile in length, with four or five embrasures for guns,and sandbag protections, but no guns had been mounted. There were no pit falls or masked batteries. The pickets this side of Fairfax retired this morning about an hour only before the head of the column came in sight,leay.. trig the grain bags out of which their horses were fed, and the federal troops fed their own horses out of the same bags. This morning the confedarata troops at Fairfax were drawn up on the west side of the town, and the people expected that a battle would certainly take place, but at nine o'clock, a. in., they made a precipie tate retreat, leaving five quarters of beef, shovels. spades, tools, camp furniture, etc., behind them in their baste. The entry of the Federal troops into Fairfax is said by these gentlemen to have been inspiring beyond description. The main street wits tilled as far ae the eve could reach, with soldiers marching with fixed bayonets and loaded guns, cheering for the Union. and bands playing the Star Spangled Banner. As soon as the six thousand infantry In column had passed, the cavalry, which were in the rear, the artillery- 'being In front, dashed through the town on a gallop and endeavor-0i to overtake the ruirent:ng c mfederates. They followed the road for lour miles towards Centreville, hut the great heat preventing a forced march of the infantry, they re turned. It is understood that Centreville is to be defended by the rebels, and that General McDowell will march on it to morrow.— The other columns of the advancing army are north and south c.f Fairfax. A few buildings were burred by the tradersl troops a mile beyond Fairfax, on account of the rumor that a soldier had been fired on from them. No buildings had been burned at Fairfax, although the soldiers in the tint flush of excitement had seized many things in and about the houses, most of which were deserted by their owners. Gen. McDowell was, however, placing guards all over the town. Col. Marston, of the New Hampshire Second, placed a guard around the Court House building as soon as he entered the town'. The column which occupied the town was composed of two Brigades, under oo4onels Porter and Burnside, and contained two batteries of flying artillery, two Rhode Island regi• meat's. the Now Hampshire Second, the New York Eighth and Seventy-first, eight companies of U. S. regulars; and five com panies of Cavalry, and perhaps one or two other regiments. The following dispatch was received et the Headquarters of the Army: FAIRFAX COURT MOUSE, July 17.--Col. E. D Townsend.—We have occupied Fairs fax Court House, and driven the enemy towards Centreville and Manassas Juno tion. We have an officer and three men slightly wounded. The enemy's flight was so precipitate that he left in our hands a cpantity of flour, fresh beef, entrenching tools, hospital furniture, and baggage. I endeavored to pursue them beyond. Cen treville, but the men were too much ex hausted to do so. Most respectfully yours, llwrN McDowELL, Brig. Gen'l BIINICER HILL, July 18 —The Federal army moved on Monday morning, twenty five thousand strong, for Winchester, en camping on Bunker Hill on Monday night, which they took possession of after a slight skirmish with a troop of rebel cavalry, routing them and arresting two. Some of them were wounded, but were carried off by their comrades. The march will be re sumed on Tuesday morning, and the troops will encamp in the vicinity of Winchester the same night. It is said that Gen. Johnston had mask ed batteries between Bunker Hill and Win. ehester, bat this is doubted. General Patterson and staff left Martins. burg on Wednesday morning with the troops. The First Pennsylvania Regiment is guarding Martinsburg, and two regiments of Pennsylvania reserve are now march ing towards 'Williamsport. Thus the ex perienced troops will be thrown to the front. The present opinion is that John. ston will skirmish heavily, but risk no pitched battle. FORTRESS ILLONR2I, J uly 18th.—Two steamers from Norfolk were seen landing taoops this morning at Sewall'. Point, where it is Apparent that formidable pre• potations are made to annoy our shipping, and perhaps the fortress itself There are doubtless masked batteries also at Wit loughby Point, opposite the Rip Raps. These preparations, however, will be mud. foam:tat in view of the terrible engines of destruction which can be brought to bear immediately upon the rebels opposite the fortress in case they attempt to disturb us. Sewall's Point has no stragetic import. , ance. Norfolk and Portsmouth are not on the road to Richmond, but should the rebels annoy Old Point, they will at once be routed.

One of the flags, about six feet long, was floating from the fourth story window, and the other was tied in the house. Reynolds was greatly enraged, and wish ed that he only bad force enough to defeat the soldiers. He was not arrested. Lieut. Holt and four men went up stairs, took down the flag and brought it away. It now floats, Union down, from the flag-staff at the camp. Naw Yonw, July 18.—A special Wash ington dispatch to the Evening!

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDI NEI;S WASHINGTON CITT,ti uly 18 —liousz.— Kr. Washburn, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill to remit fines and penalties in certain cases incurred by reason of the closing of Southern ports,and consequently no collectors there togive the proper papers to vessels leaving those ports. Bill passed. Mr. Sheffield reported a bill supplemen tary an Act, to protect Commerce and punish the crime of :piracy. Referred. Mr. Elliott's resolution passed, instruc. tang the Committee on Commerce to in. quire into the expediency of closing by act of Congress, certain ports in rebellions States, with leave to report by till or other.. wise. Mr. Hickman, of Pa., from the Commit tee on Judiciary, to whom Mr. Potter's resolution was referred, directing to in. quire as to whether Hon. Henry May, of Md., has been or is now holding criminal intercourse with those in armed rebellion against the United States. He reported that the gentleman who moved the resolu tion was called before the Committee, but said there was no evidence tending to prove Mr. May's guilt in this particular. The resolution being predicated on newspaper articles only, the Committee having no evidence to implicate the gen tleman, recommend that no action in his cue is necessary on the part of the House. The Committee further say that the inves tigation will entirely relieve the President and Gen. Scott flow any suspicion of cor respondence or attempted correspondence through Mr. May. On motion of Mr. Hickman, the report was laid on thetable. Mr. May, by permission of the Hoare, made a personal explanation He was more than gratified that the Com mittee of Judiciary had, in this decisive manner, condemned an unparalled outrage upon him and his constituenta, and that an investigation:by„those who called upon him to adduce proof,had,to admit that there was no ground of evidence for the charge, but that it was based on mere newspaper ru mors, the idle gossip of the hour, and on this a representative of the people was charged with a heinous offence. Ho had no words in which he could pronounce his in. dignation and disgust for such proceeding. Before he came hither he had under con sideration whether he could enter upon his duties as a representative,becituse of hu— miliation He felt at attitude of his con. stituents now bound in chains without the rights of a free people—all their precious rights under err Coostitn,tion being pros trated and trampled in the duet. Mr. May said that. there were more than 30,000 freemen in Baltimore, who, if the present oppression shall not be removed, will vindicate their constitutional rights on the ground of restating tyranny and op pression, and on grounds consecrated by Divine right, but as to a conspiracy against the United States and federal authorities in Maryland to overthrow them, it never existed and the contrary was asserted by miserable miscreants and spies who re. sorted to malicious falsehoods. He com plained on such grounds as these that a people loyal and true to the Constitution are dominated over and crushed under the heel of a military power. He denounced it asi an unparalleled outrage. He knew what he had done in this business. He in voked scrutiny. He was elected as a re presentative of peace and compromise, by a large majority, as a Union man looking to the salvation of this great, glorious and happy country. He stood hero committed to such measures as will uphold and maintain it. He would lay down his life to secure this ob ject.. No frowns nor grievances should shake his love of peace. It was true that he went to Virginia, the mother of states, which was s 3 closely allied to Maryland in blood and interest. He felt that he had a right to inquire into the disposition of the people of the South, and to fled out thn views of the government establfshei over them in order that he might doeverything to assuage this frightful civil Strife. He felt that his motives were the , moat honor. able of his life. Before going to R thmond he called on the President of the U. States, end stated frankly and fully his object. He did not ask him for his sanction; he did not wish to embarrass him. He asked, his 'permission 'to leave Washington and Mew over into Virginia. It was most distinctly understood that be went thither on a moat private mission. He asked the President for the necessary , formality for that- pur. pose. The President gave him permission to obtain a passport Irma Gen. Scott on this representation. It, was not objected to that he should go to Richmond on his own responsibility. He thus vindicated these gentlemen from. being implicated, in any way, with the object of his visit. 411 the crime and treason, if it be so called, rests on himseltand he Is content to bearitc. Mr Colfax said that if the gentleman would compare the, firstart of his speech as it would be printe dL in to.,morrow's Globe, with the 'firstpart of his Richmond letter, he would see a striking resemblance . If, as the gentleman remarked, while' goo' bag to Richmond, in the capacity. of a me-, (Bator he used the same language there . , that he had- here, denunciatory of the' goi. ernment and its officers, and U r sa he said, he hesitated toetake the oath to support the Constitution, he also added that hews§ ; one of over 80,000 men to resist aggression on their rights, he, Mr. Colfax, should not be surprised to hear that the rebel govern. meat recognized him rather as a sympa.
