A Reconnoisance at Leesburg

LEESBURG, March 11. – Col. Geary made a personal reconnoissance yesterday as far as Carlton Mills.  The enemy has completely fallen back.  His path was blocked up with ruins of hay, grain, stacks, &c.  Geary and officers went to the battle-field and buried whatever bodies they found there.
