MORE ABOUT THE TERRIBLE BLACK HORSE.

Alexandria, July 25, 1861.
I overheard one of the men sitting on the door step of the house describing the charge of the Black Horse Cavalry, part of which, I believe, is Capt. Scott's Fauquier cavalry.

He said they advanced in a wedge form, then opened, disclosing a battery which fired upon his regiment, and that then the cavalry charged upon the regiment, hem­ming it in on all sides; and, cutting right and left with tremendous blows, each blow powerful enough to take off a man's head.

He said he never wished to see such a charge again.

-- The Richmond Daily Inquirer, quoting the Baltimore Exchange
