following farts were ascertained :
About eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, the
Rebel forces under Generals Breckinridge and
Jr.arly attacked the Cnion forces under Generals
uCrook and Averill, and Colonel Mulligan, at or
,j near Winchester. There was also a portion of
a. General Hunter's forces In the fnrht. but General
Hunter was not present, being at Harper's Ferry.
The battle lusted during the entire day, and
when night closed in the Union commanders,
ascertaining that the Rebels hail received largo
reinforcements, retired towards Martinsburg and
Harper's Ferry. Yesterday morning they retired
from Murtinsburg to Harper's Ferry, after which
the Rebels occupied Murtinsburg.
Through the advice of General Hunter, Wiu,
Prcscott Smith, Esq., Superintendent of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, ordered the paeuger
rains that had lift this city far the West yester
day morning to return, and for the present no
y passenger or freight trains will be ran further
i than Harper's Ferry and Frederick.
I The trains from the westward run only as far
J ' as Cumberland. This Is done merely as a pre-
cautionary measure, until the actual state of
1 affairs, and the number of Rebels and their do.
signs may be ascertained. The rumors that pas
senger and freight trains have been captured arc
'1 unfounded.
m It was announced that Colonel Mulligan (of
vLexington, Missouri, fame), commanding a

AOTIIEK A Ol fit'.
spil o The F.vriilnir Telerrpli.
Bahimoiik, July 20, 11-20 A. M. The Amrri
tan his tbo following :
The city was List night full of rumors of
Rebel movements in the Shenandoah valley,
together with vague accounts of disasters to the
force under General Averill, which last week
attacked and defeated a portion of General
fcarly's raiders near Winchester. Among the
rumors was the deaths of Generals Kellcy and
Averill, as well as of Colonel Mulligan.
The facts, as for as wo have been able to ascer
tain them, are that General Averill, after his suc
cessful encounter with Karly's forces, pursued
mountains, beyond Winchester,
a staud ; and after the heavy
Suturday and Sunday, the Kobels
mean time largely reinforced,
General Averill was compelled to fall back to
Harper's Ferry, bringing with him the force I at
Bunker Hill, and causing also the evacuation of
Martinsburg.
The Rebels appear to have pursued Mm in his
retreat, and yesterday afternoon again occupied
Martinsburg, where they cat the telegraph, and
commenced again tho destruction of tlic truck of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
. Our forces, according to tho best advices we
could obtain, are now concentrated at Harper's
Ferry, under the commaud of General Hunter,
whilst tho Rebels bold Martinsburg, and rumor
states them to be in large force, but this can
liardly be possible; beyond the strength of
Early's and Breckinridge's forces.
Their object In returning Is, doubtless, to give
time for insuring the safety of their trains of
plunder,' and to secure the collection of a portion
of the crops in the Shenandoah Valley. That
they may again come iuto Maryland for more
plunder is highly probable, especially if they find
the way -"en to them.
As to the extent of the disaster to our forces la
the fight beyond Winchester, we have no autben
tic information ; nor have we any conuruutlon ol
the .rumors of the death of Geuerals Kelley aud
Averill and f bnn I Mulligan. It is n it likely,
however, that all three of tho officers have
alien, and we are inclined to doub: tlio whole
story.
We larn that order were or.t tn rnno i tbo
army and me Heal stor.'s from Fred rl k las
night, as a matter of prdc-.nt.ori. an 1 to pref J
to evncn.ito the citr In case of tlic advance rf the
Rebels unchecked in tint dire :tion.
That tho olliclal intelligence f.m the t.tl'ey
la-t evening was not as favorable as could bo de
pired may bo inferred from the I'.n t that (ieinral
Wallace convened the Loyal Leagues la't night
to ndvi'C with tie m as t holding tliem-elves in
leaillne-s, in ease their service may be r- ti iroil
for the defenc of tbo city.
Tncse precautions are, of course, advisable ; anil
our citizens should be in re a J. a. at all t.mcs U)
meet the Invaders, and to prevent (heir repeating
the outrages recently perpetrate J in the vi lni:y
of the city.
Despatches received here lit tilgM merely
announced that General Averill Jut 1 b'uu oni
polled to retire beforo a superior for 'o to Har
per's Ferry, but mentioned no serious disasters.
At an early hour yesterday ai'terncnin, des.
patches were received from Sandy Hook, and
other points, by tho M.i'ter ol Transportation, to
the effect that hostile movements hud been re
sumed on the part of the enemy, and it would be
lm, anions to attempt to run cars through as
muni.
The train which left Camden Station ye tcrday
morning proceeded a far as Sandy Hook, when
thoso in charge, yielding to the suggnsthn of
General Hunter, who was then at Harper's 1 orry,
returned.
The numlKT of passengers in tho train was not
large. The train which was to have left here at
it quarter past nine o'clock lust evening, ot
course, under tho circumstances, did no leave,
and a considerable number of passengers bound
for the West were disappointed.
The tonnaec business of tbo road is in the
meantime suspended, until better information is
obtained as to the condition ot the road west of
Harper's Ferry.
The telegraph wires were cut west ol Harper's
Ferry, and it was reported that the forces of
Crook and Averill have retreated beyond tho
railroad, but the officers of the company have not
received any oftlciul advices to that effcet.
Yesterday afternoon and evening, tho rumor
prevailed that tho Kcbcls hud returned in heavier
force in the vicinity of Murtinsburg, had met and
defeated tho Federal forces, an! were damaging
the railroad ; and a large number of persons con
gregated at the Camden station, and rcin.un.ed
there until night.
Tho truin which left hero yesterday morning
for tho West, and proceeded as fur as San Jy
Hook, returned about half-past seven o'clock last
evening, and all the cars were crowded with pas-
Eengcrs.
Some of them were Federal ortLcjs, who re
ported that a heavy light had taken place be
tween Harper's Ferry and Winchester, and that
Hunter had been repulsed. Several pieces of
artillery had been captured, also a large number
of men of two brigades.
It Is impossible to ascertain the true state of
affairs in that region, but thero is no doubt that
a scrions disaster has occurred to tlic for es of
General Hunter.

On the 2-d General Sherman announced, in a

The important expedition against the Mont

which is thus olticially announced, was projected
by General Rounsean when General Shermun

for various military reasons, its ixecutiou was

Gf-nerul Rottsenn moved from Pcf-tur wl'lt
his forces onthc 10th inst. .taking a southeasterly
direction. The detail of the expedition have not
yet been received ; but by referring to a good mn'
of Alabama and Georgia It will be seen that tho
lirst Important point on tho route Is Blountsvllle,
about fifty miles from Decatur; the second Ah
ville, some thirty miles further on. He probably
crossed the Coosa river somewhere In the vicinity
of broken Arrow, pu-hed on to Tadadnira, and
tlien to the Tallapoosa river, which he was to
cross at the most convenient bridge or ford. This
would bring htm within thirty miles ol the Mont
gomery road.
.tight important bridges carry tbisrailroal
over as many streams, between Opelika an I
Montgomery ; and the thorough destruction of
these was one of the principal objects of tho
raid. Having accomplished this work, nnd de
stroyed the workhouse and other Government

historic and good old 10th Corps are varied, and
uiy calculated to promote its ctllclency, though
the material, as to both oltlcers and ruon, is of so
solid a character as to successfully hear it un
above and beyond all its domestic vicissitudes, to
which there seems to be no cud.
Its commanding olticcr is a nety man to the corps
every few days, stive perhaps in the case of Gene
ral Terry, just relieved to inako way for General
Birney, the special order appointing whom was
Iiromitlgated to-duy, und who, it is believed, will
le continued in command by tbe President. Too
DID h praise can scarcely be awarded the corps,
in view ot tne nature ana extent oi its past ser
vices, und Ihey are not low who vontutc to hope
that a new career ot honorable activl'v end use
fulness In the held awaits tho troips of this com
mand, which has a strong fricud in M Ajor-Goncrul
Butler.
Ouo of Ihe divisions of the 10th. under com
mand of Geuerul John W. Turner, has been
doing noble service iu front of l'etorsburg for
many long and weury weeks past, iu tbe trenches
and other relevant spots thereabouts ; and it is but
tine to Bay that ttiey compare far uioro than
favorably with the proni, spirited, und patriotic
IHtii, liili and !Uh Corps, forming a portion
of our forces at this absorbing point, and
who, by virtue of numbers ami the udvaatago of
presence in force on tho greut scone, seem to
be ambitious of wearing all the laurels and
bearing awav all the honors of tbe eiegc.
I he corps is also represented largely at Deep
Bottom, where it forms a part of our forces
holding tiiat positian. Here, too, It has been
foremost In duty and success, and has really
milieu another bright paragraph to the pago that
ahull in the future bear in gullatit history upon
its luce.
t.jncrui inrney win at once assume eommana,
and announce his stalf, wnilo General Terry will
slime command ot his able and strong division.
The stun" ol General Brooks, lately commanding
tne corps, nave an departed to new spheres, and
in some instances, i am nappy to say, with no
rank.

for changing from the old command to the new.
There are few attachments stronger than thoso
formed between companions in arms on the liuld

greater responsibilitiis und higher honors, it was
not without lingering regrets that General llirnoy

with which he bus been so long and so favorably
) ! Milled. That division has been commanded

The private interview between tbe Sc -rotary

Wasiunoton, July 2i. Early's forces on
Sunday last moved through the Gups into tho
Sbcnauiloah Valley, and defeated Averill, Crook,
and Mulligan's forces, together with a portion of
Hunter's army, all of whom the cuemy largely
(ititnunilM'rcd.
Yesterday they occupied Martinsburg, and
moved down towards Harper's Kerry, but this
morning no intelligence of their invading Mary
land again has come to hand.
Important movements of troops have been
made that are not likely to permit repetition
of the lust raid.
Tbo heaviest losses are said to havo boen In
Averill's command in tho battle of Sunday.
The rumored death of Colonel Mulligan is not
yet fully continued. Hunter Is at Harper's
lorry and says he knows nothing positive about
it. Tbis daring Rebel movement is evidently
made upon tho idea that our furcos are with
drawn. There is good reason now to believe that
Early's force will not cross in this movement
into Maryland. They may invade Pennsylvania.

We have been able tikis morning to a certain
nothing definite with regard to tbo Rebel move
ments at Martiusburg, and altng the line of tbe
Baltimore and Ohio Iiilroud, further than tho
fact that most of tho exciting stories- in circula
tion on Monday evening wero either uufoundod
or greatly exugcrutod.
As far as wo can ascertain this morning, Gene
ral Averill bns not been killed, as reported, but
was compelled by a greatly superior Rebel force
to full buck to the l'otomuc through Martinsburg,
to Wllliamsport, Maryland, carrying with him
the garrison at that point.
Whether tho Rebels occupied Murlinsburglast
night is not known ; but of its evacuation by our
troops there seems to be no doubt.
This morning trains to l'redorick nnd Wash
ington went nut as usual, and a train forS.tudy
Hook left at 7-4 " A. M.
The suspension of telegraph 0erations last
night are said to have been caused by tho storm
of wind blowing down a pole.
General Hunter has, however, forbidden aH
telegraphic communication with II irpor's Perry,
and of course we have nothing direct from that
vicinity.
