June 27.—A squadron of Scott’s Nine Hundred cavalry, under Major Remington, on their way to Centreville, Va., this morning, encountered, near Fairfax, the Sixth Virginia cavalry, and dashed at them with the sabre. The Major made two charges, and drove the rebels for three miles into a wood, and there encountered a superior force, that checked him with the fire of carbines.

Among them were Captain Bagwell, Captain Campbell, and Lieutenant Hazleton. The companies were B and C.
