Towns' Philadelphia Company of Cavalry, was severely wounded in the head yesterday, by a pistol ball, while out with a scouting party towards Fairfax Court-House. This has been an eventful day with the military men in the Department of Alexandria, caused by a review of the division by Gen. McClellan and his staff. The customary salute was fired, and the new General expressed himself as highly pleased with the condition of the troops. The new order in relation to passes between here and Washington is now rigidly enforced much so the inconvenience of those who are unable to prove their loyalty. A large number of Alexandrian were unable to return some to-night, as Provost Marshal Porter, of Washington, requires all receiving passes to be personally vouched for as Union men.

Nine hundred cannon. General McClellan, it is said, has ordered nine hundred rifled cannon for the Army of Invasion. After the liberal-provision made by General Scott for the Confederate Army, this is exceedingly generous. General McClellan has yet to learn that it is men, not arms, that he requires, and can never get, not because the North is destitute of courage, but because no land can produce a soldiery which can conquer such a people as the South, fighting in defence of their homesnnon.

arp-Shooters, Capt. Tompkins, 23d Regiment Virginia Volunteers, Col. Taliaferro, now in the Northwest, at Monterey. They did all the skirmishing at Laurel Hill, and stood their ground and fought without flinching at Carrick's Ford, on Cheat River, during the retreat, ten of whom were sent with General Garnett and stood by him when he was shot, one of whom was shot by the side of, and fell at the same time as the General. No mention is even made of sending them anything. They are all mechanics from this city. Many are the only support of aged parents and families. Something ought to be done for this company, which will and is always ready to do its duty." The praise bestowed on the Sharp-Shooters they fully deserve. Second Sergeant A. P. LeCuyer, who was taken prisoner at Rich Mountain and paroled by Gen. McClellan, who is now in Richmond, will take pleasure in sending any articles which may be designed for the company, if they are left at Michaud's Saloon, Belvin's Block.

The Confederate army, it is asserted, crossed the Potomac last night in force, notwithstanding the high state of the river was supposed to be a check upon such a movement. This bold and reckless course of Gen. Johnston is remarkable, as it divides his forces and places in his rear a wide river to hinder his retreat, which is certain to take place. Gen. Scott and Gen. McClellan will meet the occasion, for which they are fully prepared. The case of Mr. Bosley. The Baltimore Exchange, of the 23d, contains the following in relation to the arrest of Mr. Bosley, of that city: This gentleman, whose arrest has already been noticed, had a further examination yesterday before U. S. Commissioner Hanan, upon the charge of obstructing the passage of the Massachusetts Sixth Regiment through Pratt street on the 19th of April. Several witnesses were examined o
