Pardee from Western Maryland report that
there was no fighting yesterday, and tbat the
rebels bare not made any attempt at crossing
the Potomac. The impression i9 that there is

Psmt?The Gunboats take Part in the
Fighting
The mail steamer John Brooks arrived here
this morning, at 6 o'clock, from City Point,
-which place she left yesterday morning at lo
o'clock. At that hour all was qnietin front of
Petersburg, bnt on Tuesday afternoon a move
ment of the rebels was discovered, which,
although not fully developed, indicated that
they were attempting to Hank Butler on the
right, or were endeavoring to gain Harrison's
Larding, for the purpose of getting in his rear.
Tile proper dirpobition of troops was imme
diately made to check them and find out their
intentions.
Artillery firing commenced at Point of Rocks
early ? the eveuing of Tuesday, which con
tinned all night. Our infantry, batteries, and
gn?hoat? were said to be engaged, bnt the most
of the firing was doubtless done by the gun
boate, which were shelling th? banks of the
riv-r.
Fighting wns also going on near Bermuda
llnndred, and it was reported that the rebels
?were posted three miles from that plac?.
Parties who were at General Butler's head
quarters on Tuesday night state that the roar
of mnsketry and artillery was incessant.
Yesterday morning, wbea the Brooks came
down the river, liiicg was still going on, bnt
stemfd to have slackened.
Early yesterday morning Gen. Grant was
engaged in making proper disposition of his
trcops to foil any re*l movement.
The officers attached to the John Brooks
state that the firing beard by them on Tuesday
Bight was more heavy and incessant than any
tfiey have heard during Grant's campaign.
Reports brought to City Point from Rich
mond by retugees and deserters, are to tlie
eflect that all the troops tbat can be spared
from the defence of that city have been sent
up the Valley, and it is now believed that the
forces operating in that vicinity will number
fifty thousand mtn of all arms. Such refugees,
however, aje not in a position to have any
positive tne&in of knowledge of rebel move
ments, and their statements are not by any
means authoritative, theretore.

Locisvillk, July 27.?Major A. W. Kelley. I
late Mayor of Natchez, has just arrived from
the front, which he left on Monday night. He
states that alter the battle of Friday, in front of
the 15th, 16'.h, and 17th corps, onr men buried
three thousand two hundred and twenty-one
rebel dead, and captured one thousand sound
prisoners and eleven hundred seriously
Wounded, with eleven stand of colors.
Among the prisoners tlrnre are thirty-three '
officer?., from the rank of Colonel down. The I
eiightiy wounded were taken ofl the field by
the rebels
Gen. J. A. Logan estimates the rebel loss at '
12,003. Our loss, including killed, wonnded
and missing, at 3.120.
Atlanta is ia plain view, but General Sher
man does not desue to enter it at present; in
two hours he could establish his headquarters
there.
Gen. Stoneman u> en rmitr for the Macon and
Atlanta Railroad i
To-day's Nashville Unian says, Gen. Gar- '
rard, at the head of a cavalry force, marched
to Covington, and destroyed several bridges j
and eagines, a large number ot cars, and 2,000 i
bales cotton. We also learn that the re^e

THE REBEL FORTE IN THE SHE*- :
AlOOAH.
I nioru. ation from Baltimore.
The telegraph lines to Baltimore being under j
an embargo by the Government, we avail i
ourselves of the following information derived
f.om a well informed gentleman of that city, j
ia regard to the important military movements !
now transpiring on the Upper Potomac.
With the particulars of the abandonment of
the pursuit of the raiders by the 6th corps the
public are already familiar. It is now clearly
ascertained that as soon as the tact of the re
turn of the oth corps toward Washington was
announced, the rebels availed themselves of
the important advantages thus presented, and
tbeir rear fell upon Gen. Crook's command
n>-nr Winchester with such overwhelming
numbers as to compel tbat gallant offi er to
retreat, loeinz a cousideraole number ot men
in kiRtd, wounded and prisoners, as well a- a
lew guns. The loss in men is estimated at one
thousand. From all that onr informant could
gather, there were but lew guns lost, though
there seems to te no doubt that the enemy did
capture some.
With regard to the reported death of G?n.
Kelley, it is sufficient to say tbat he wa* not
?with Gen. Crook, but was, and still is, at
Cumbeiland.
General Mulligan's death was still reported
at Baltimore yesterday, but therein no authen
tic infotmatiuD on the subject.
Wuh rtgard to tfte strength of theenemv,
the most reliable estimates of the entire force
compoeing the recent laiding column do not
m*ke it more than 1<M*4 or 17,0 0 men. It is
now believed this column has tven reinforced
to the extent of 10,00V or 12 00o, making the
"Whole strength cf the rebel force now in the
"Valley and upon the border of the Upper Po
tomac, or ;to,??io men of ah arm*. This
force is understood, Id well mlormed quarters,
to be under the command of Gen. A. P. Hi'l,
Oen.E.riy having, it is said, been obliged tj
retire from active duty on account of hi?
?Wound br- aking out afresh; and he bits. it is
?ur.de^stcod, been assigned to the command of
the Kit bmor.d district.
As to the desires cf this rebel force ni *? on
the borders of Maryland (lor it is believe t 'h it
op tu this time they have not cr >ssed th- 1\> o
*nac. at lenst in anj tore*), ail is conjecture.
The most probable view u that they will at
tempt an eaten five raid into Pennsylvania,

tbat G?reral Wrigbt is moving rapidly to

Wabhikoton, July 19, 1S61. _
Sib: In the exercise of my duties as secretary
in charge of the President's correspondence,
it is necessary for me to use a certain discre
tion in the choice ot letters to be submitted to
the perat nal inspection of the President. In
order to avoid a further waste ot time on your
part, 1 have to inform you tnat your letters are

Financial.?The New York Commercial
Advertiser of yesterday evening says:
The stock market opened with a stron^r
feeling, ard at the call there was an a1 vance
: through the entire list. The sales were 1'.r^er
than lor some weeks past, and a vigorous s ;jf c
nla-lve movement was apparent on some of
the railroad stocks. There is more inquiry for
shares irom outside parties, and therj are all
the indications of a renewal of speculative op
erations.
Governments were a^ain very active aad
higher.
The withdrawal of the temporary loan by
the banks has necessitated a 1 irge farther is
sue of compound Interest notes?the increase
of circulation under this head being $lo.WO,(XiO.
This illustrates the Injurious operation of the
; temporary loan expedient invented by Mr.
! Chase. The banks have been lending to the
Government in this way to the u'most of their
ability. A stringent turn in the money mar
ket compels them to withdraw #10,00(1,00;)
within a week. The Government has no re
sources in the Treasury for meeting such a
draft, and the Secretary has, therefore, to fall
back upon his unissued currency. The tem
porary loan has thns resulted in an addition
to the circulation of ten millions within one
week.
There remains now g63,000,o<io of this loan
outstanding, at any time subject to a heavy
draft, which, as the Treasury keeps no ad
equate reserve to meet such a contingency,
would have to be met by the still lurther cre
ation of currency. The direct tendency of the
loan is thus to foster inflation. It is a con
i stant terror-m over the head of the Secretary,
i and the sooner he offers some practical in
: dncement for the funding of this portion of
the debt, the bttter it will prove for all par -
! ties.
The Evening Express says:?The subscrip
tions to the 7 3-10 loan are already coming in,
and Mr. Cisco received several this morning,
inclndicg one ot 850,(>00,l>00. A certain bank in
this city is expected to take85no,lX?> or S1.UH>,000
in the coarse of the dav.
i The money market exhibits no material
change, and capital is abundant at 7 per cent,
j ou call, while in some instances lower rates
are ac cepted. The statement of the public deb'.
| snows tDat the Government are paying ont
compound rates, which mnst float as currency
for sometime to come. The banks are in a
strong posi'ion and money is flowing in here
j from the interior.
There was a sharp revival of the speculative
feeling at the Stock Exchange this morning, and
, there was a large advance throughout the en
tire Railway lit-t.
There is a strong demand for stocks general
ly, under the prevailing opinion that a higher
range of values must rule in the t utur?.
There was an active demand for Govern
ments on foreign acconnt, and there was a
lurther advance in prices.
The gold market was very tame this morn
irg, and fell off about 4 per cent, from the
closing rate of yesterday. The immense re
shipments for foreign merchandise, and the
large amounts of Government securities going
abroad create a great volume of exchange,
which materially lessens the demand for gold.

Mulligan Undoubtedly Killed on Sunday
?frrpu ration* to give the Rebels u Warm
j Reception Should they Attempt tp Cross
the Potomac.
i We have direct information from Hagers
I town, Md., up to? o'clock yesterday morning.
Tbe Confederals had made no attempt up
I to yesterday morning to cross the river, al
; though their pickets occupy the Virginia shore
I opposite \Yilliamsport, and occasionally Are
acrofs the river at our troops.
There is no donbt that Col. Mulligan died
fiom the effect? of wonnds rece.ved on Sunday.
Gen. Averill received a slight wound in the
forehead at the same time, but not sufficient to
| prevent him from discharging his duties.
Union reinforcements are arriving at the
proper place, and are being assigned to availa
ble positions. Should the rebels attempt to
cross'he river they will meet with resistance
equal to the occasion.
There is regular communication between
Hagerstown and Frederick, and the cars are
running from Hagerstown to Chambersburg.
Notwithstanding the excitement at Hagers
town, business is still transacted, but the store,
keepers have but few goods exposed for sale,
as they have received no stock since the recent
j invasion.
THE RECENT REBEL DEMONSTRA
TION.
Early and Breckinridge in Command?
They Move In Two Columns, toward
Martinsburg and llnrkesville ? Colored
Soldiers with the Raiders.
Mr. John K. Hell, of Mill (rap, Berkeley
j county, Ya , arrived In this city this mirningi
| and gives some interesting particulars of the
' recent rebel demonstrations towards Martins
burg and the Potomac He says that after the
fight at Winchester last week, although the
n bels were defeated, tbey were not so badly
used up but that they could collect a consider,
able force.
It appears that they concentrated at Buck
Cre< k village, in Frederick county, and ad
vanced thence on Saturday morning early
through Mill Gap, and halted at Banker Hill,
whence Breckinridge took a force and moved
in the direction of Darkpsville, and Gen. Early
(who appeared to have command of the whole
lOTcej moved on the pike toward Martinsburg.
Their diverging at Bunker Hill indicated a
movement upou Harper's Ferry, a* it was ne
cessary to mov? through Darkesville to reaca
that point. Ther- is no doubt of Early being
in command, as he and Breckinridge, together
with their staffs, stopped at Mr. Bell's house
at M 11 Gap.
Mr. Bell says the rebels had with them about
2<!ti negroes, as near as he could judne, who
were mounted and armed with sabers and pis
tols. Among these negroes tie recognized a
number who had been slaves in the neigtibor
hcod ol Mill Gap, and who appeared to be
pointing out the way to the reb<*l Generals,
and indicating the best roads to bj taken.
FROM FREDERICK.
Passengers who arrived here last evening
from Frederick report that considerable excite
ment exists at that place, and that many of the
citizens are leaving. Business is almost en
tirtly suspended, and yesterday morning the
banks were all closed, and there were but few
stores open. The Government property and
hospital stores have all been removed to a
pla^e of salety.
.Reports were current at Frederick yesterday
morning that the rebels, in large force, were
drawn up in line of battle at Harper's Ferry,
menacing our forces on the Maryland Heights.
There can be no truth in this, however, as the
regular train from Harper's Ferry reached
Baltimore last evening.
A REPORTED CROSSING BV THE REK1LS
ABOVE MCDDY RRANCH ? A OANaRD
DOl'HTLESS.
A larmer arrived here last night from above
Muddy Bianch, and stated that some of the
rebels crossed the river on Tuesday night, and
threw out pickets between Muddy Branch and
Edwards' Ferry on the Maryland side, and
that be was in their lines until two o'clock yes
terday morning, when he got away. He repre
sents that there were but few who crossed.
This story is, however, not credited, and, in
deed, we have good authority for stating that
no rei>ei;5 have crossed this side of Edwards'
Ferry at least.
