The authorities here hare gratifying Infor
mation of the victory obtained by General
Averill, on Monday last, at Moorefield, Va.,
over the rebel forces under Generals Mc?
Causland and Johnson, that recently burned
Chambersburg.
A will overtook them at Moorefleld, at
tacked, and utterly routed them, capturing
between five and six hundred prisoners, in
cluding Oen. Johnson (who subsequently es
caped) and his whole staff", with their head
quarters colors; also, all the rebel artillery
trains and colors, and a large quantity of
small arms. McCausland hlms%lf barely es
caped by flying into the mountains.
ATerUl pursued the scattered remnant of the
rebel force for twenty-lour miles, capturing
many of the fugitives. His entire loss in killed
was seven men. So the Ohambersburg raid
thus early came to grief. The pursuit was
only abandoned when Averill's horses were'
too exhausted to follow them into the moun
tains.

AVERILL'S VICTORY.
The number of guns captured by Averill, at
Moorfleld on Sunday, was four, all that the
rebels had there. He had captured 420 pris
oners before the pursuit commenced, and after
that picked them up momentarily to a number
not vet definitely ascertained. When the rebel
General Brad. Johnson was captared he bore
no insignia of rank, and it was not known that
be was in our bands until after he had escaped.
This is the second time he has got off* when in
our hands lately.
THE NEWS FROM MOBIL?.
No official despatches from our fleet off'
Mobile hare as yet been received at the Nary
Department. The news through rebel sources
is, however, sufficiently indicative of the
danger they consider Mobile to be in from
Farragut's guns. The reported loss of the
Tecumseh is not an item worthy of being taken
into consideration at all. in view ot the victory
achieved by Admiral Farragut.
We are inclined, however, to doubt that the
Tecumseh was sunk, as feported.
ADDED TO THE NORTH1RN DEPARTMENT.
Covington, Kentucky, and the country
around it within a radius of ten miles, has been
added to the Northern Department, under com
mand of Major General Heintzleman,
MAGILL, THE REBEL SPY.
Barlow Magill, reported by telegraph from
Harrisburg as having been captured near Ha
gerstown while acting as a spy for the Con
federates, is a son of Dr. Magill, who, together
with three ol his other sons, are in the rebel
service. Since the breaking out of the rebel
lion the Magill family has been a terror to the
Unionists of Washiagton county, Md., and one
of the Doctor's daughters is charged with hav
ing shot one of Kllpatrick's men in the
streets ot Hagerstown daring the rebel
invasion of last summer. This Barlow Ma
gill joined the Confederates after taking the
oath of atliegance to the United States Govern
ment, and his father was for a long time con
fined in the Old Capitol prison, in this city,
for disloyalty, and was afterwards transferred
to Fort Warren, where he persistently refused
to take the oath, in order to obtain his release.
Bob. Swan, who shot and killed William
Sprigg, at Cumberland, Md., is a son-in-law
ot Dr. Magill, and he, too, is in the rebel army,
with the rank of captain.
CAPTURE OF A REBEL TRAIN.
Day before yesterday, an extensive capture
of a rebel train, under charge of one of the
Kincheloes, was made beyond Aldie. It ap
pears that tbe rebels had detached some of their
wagons loaded with plunder from the main
body, aid they moved in an easterly direction
from the mountains, and in the meantime were
followed by a body of Union cavalry, who
were not, however, in sufficient force to make
an immediate attack.
At or near Aldie the Union pursuing force
was augmented by about sixty cavalrymen,
under command of a Capt. Bliss, who had been
out on a scout. The rebel force was attacked,
and some twenty-five wagons loaded with
grain were taken. Those in charge ot the train
abandoned it and ran, thus placing the game
in the hands of our boys without mueh of a
contest.
ESCAPE OF UNION, OFFICERS FROM TIIE
REBELS.
On the night of the 27th ultimo First Lieuts.
P W. Howlehand and Walter Clifford, of the
16th regiment U. S. infantry, and First Lieut.
B. Q. Butler, of the -2d regiment U. S. infantry,
made their escape from a train of cars while
on their way from the prison at Macon, Ga.,
to Charleston, S. O. The escaped officers suc
ceeded in procuring a conveyance, making
their way to the U. S. bark Ethan Allen, off
Otter Island, St. Helena Sound, and were sate
ly taken on' board.
MORE REBEL PRISONERS.
Lieutenant J. W. Dresner, with a detach
ment of the 1st Regiment Home Brigade, ar
rived here to-day from Harper's Ferry, having
in charge sixty-four rebel prisoners, including
one captain and two lieutenants. These pris
oners are of the rebel invading force, and were
captured at different points in Maryland with
in a week past. They were all committed to
the Old Capitol by Col. Ingraham
CAPTURE OF A UNION PICKET POST BY THE
RE BEL8.
A picket post, supplied from a detachment of
the 16th New York cavalry, consisting of one
corporal and three men, stationed on the old
Braddock road, about three miles southeast of
Anandale, Virginia, was surrounded and cap
tured by a party of about fifteen rebels, yester
day morning between 5 and 6 o'clock. Four
borses and three of the men were taken by the
enemy. The corporal who had charge of the
picket escaped, however.
Stonkman's Kaid.?Late information from
rebeldom shows that the rebels now only claim
to have captured 500 men, including 75 officers
with Stoneman, and they admit that in view
of the immense injury done to their connections
by Stoneman, that the balance of gain is de
cidedly in our favor.
Not Trcb.?We have satisfied ourselves
that there is no truth in the report that '? tbe
War Department has authorized Gen. McOlel
lan to raise 160,000 mf n immediately for special
service under his command."
Gold.?Gold has fallen from 259# to 253
since yesterday. This fail has been ecca
sioned, no doubt, by the good news lrom Mo
bile, and tbe success of our troops who are
pursuing tbe rebel raiders.
Financial.?'The New York Commercial
Advertiser of yesterday evening says:'
The stock market opened steady this morn
ing, and with more disposition to buy them
than on Saturday. There appears, however,
to be a temporary lull in the upward movement
of the last ten days?apparently aothlng more
than a natural reaction.
Governments are again very firm and active,
chiefly under the demand for export. Tbe large
advance on Five-Twenties, while Sixes of *81
have remained almobt stationary, is producing
a run upon the latter.
Tbe German bouses are buying them up
freely on account of foreign orders. Certitl
cate are again in active demand, on tbe under
standing that no more are to he issned after a
short period. Large orders are being executed
here for a Philadelphia firm, supposed to be in
tbe confidence of tbe Treasury Department.
It is not very easily seen how, in the present
condition of 'he finances, this mode of pay
ment can be dispensed with. Gold Is weak.
There is very little demand, and with the
present prospect of a protracted dullness in the
demand for export, it not, indeed, a return of
gold from Europe, speculation for a rise is fee
hie. Tbe demand for cn>-toms continues at
about ?100,(XO below tbe average demand, ow
ing to tbe indisposition of importers to take
their goods out of bond. Tbe necessities of the
Fall demand, however, soon compel a consid
erable withdrawal within a comparatively
short period, which may possibly create a
audden and extreme advance in the price.
This morning gold onened at 859jf, and after
ward declined to 238\': at 12.30 p. m. tbe price
stood at .

Lett Coubt.?The Cfturt assembled yester
ivr ,ni Aldermen's Chamber, (City Hall.)
from flnance committee, re
P?*f5 a resolution imposing a tax of one.
w1'.?? al1 taxablp property in the
county, which it is expected will net ?3,376.00,
Pr?P?rtion do? by the connty of the tax of
f1?'? imposed on tbe District by act of August
5,,1861, lor the purpose of paying the expenses
of the war. Adopted. ^
Thomas, from the select committee to
get a legal opinion aa to whether the jurisdic
tion of the court over the road leading from
Seventh street, in Georgetown, to the Stone
warehouse, was taken from it, reported that
they were not ready to make a flnal report,
and aaked farther time, which was refused?
yeaa 4, nays 4.
[The road waa built by the United States and
placed under the direction of Georgetown in
1><?3, Wnt subsequently the Circuit Court deci
ded that the Levy Court waa liable for one half
the expense for keeping it in repair, George
town paying the balance. At the last session
of Congress an act waa passed the object of
which waa to relieve the Court from any fur
ther liability of keeping it in repair, it was
doubted whether this act accomplished it,
hence the inquiry.]
Quite a spicy debate took place between the
President, (Mr. Sargent,) Messrs. Lamer,
Nichols and Burr, who claimed that the late
act of Congress relieved the court, and Mr.
Thomas on the opposite side.
Mr. Lamer reported a resolution from the
claims committee to pay *311.83 for the sup
port of the police employed In the connty, it
being the amount required for the month of
July. Adopted.
Mr. Plant introduced a resolution that the
laborers in the employ of the Court receive
hereafter S1.50 per day, and horse, cart and
driver 4*3 per day; adopted. [This is an increase
of ten cents per day on the laborers pay and of
50 cents for horse, cart and driver.]
Mr. Blagden introduced an ordinance to pre
vent fast driving in the county; whieh was
passed. The ordinance prohibits the riding or
driving of any horse, mare or gelding at a pace
or gait faster than a moderate trot or gallop, or
to make any trial of speed under a penalty of
not less than 810 nor more than S20.
Mr. Blair offered a resolution fixing the
compensation of tbe Surveyor at S5 per day
and ?1 for each plat made which shall be filed
with the court; which was adopted.
Tub New Firb System.? a noticeable
change for the better was to be seen last night
in the manner in which the work of suppress
ing the fire on Seventh street was carried oc
under the n^w system now just going into
effect. It looked like business. Everythinr
methodical, and without any of the old time
collisions, profanities, atone and pistol battles,
rowdyism and confusion that have herstofore
been the inseparable concomitants of a fire.
The steady and unwearying chug, chug, of
the steam-engines, pouring their remorseless
streams upon the battled tlames, was tbe agree
able sound taking the place of the so well re
membered and dreaded curses and yells, and
fnsilades of pistol shots, withotrt which the
b'hoys seemed to think it quite impossible to
work at a fire.
When the city shall be in the possession of
its own 6team engines, and the new system
fairly inaugurated, we shall t>e astonished that
we ever tolerated the wretched old concern
which was at the same time so turbulent and
so inefficient. Disappointed aspirants for po
sition in the new organization, and those who
are governed in their action by the selfish con
eideration that "steam fire engines have no
votes," may endeavor for a time to embarrass
the commissioners, but tbe public is fully de
termined never to go back to the wretched old
system, and such opposition must necessarily
eoondieout. J
