SPECIAL TO THE WORLD.

WAsHNGToN, June l7.-There are flying
rumors tonight of a fight between one OF
the Ohio Regiments aud q band of rebels
near Vienna on the Loddon Railroad, which
have been partially confirmed. An engage
ment has no doubt taken place, but proba-
bly, without serious results. The enemy
has been on the bridge TWO miles from
Seneca Mills, which crosses a branch of the
Potomac river, over which the rebel forces
mast march in advancing across the river.
SPECIAL TO THE THINKS.
The President Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal assures me that the works will be
ready for the passage OF boats within 20
days, and that boats enough are in posses
sion Of the company to do the business OF
the season. Troops can be transported from
Cumberland direct 80 Washington, each
boat carrying $50 men.
1t is reported that the Legislature of Ma
ryland will attempt to pass an act releasing
the State Of Virginia from paying damages
to the citizens Of Maryland, who have been
damaged by the wanton destruction of rail-
roads and canals within the State of Mary
land.
p. f. Wilson leaves Washington in few
days FOR Nebraska. He is sent out for the
purpose of overhauling the accounts of the
late officials in that territory. 1t appears
that J. Sterling Morton, the Secretary, Ad-
Olson r. Gilmore, Receiver Of the Land Of
fee, and William T. West, and B. p Ran
kin, Marshals, have all left their offices With
balances against them on the Treasurer
books, for which they have not accounted.

BGS The New York World learns that
some OF the pOstmasters of the seeding
States, instead of returning the United
States stamps on hand as ordered, have sent
large quantities of them to Northern cities,
and are selling them on private or Confed-
crate account. The fellows who would thus
misappropriate the Federal stamps ought to
be branded as larceny rogues are in some
parts of the country.

BsS- The new uniforms of the soldiers of

are an honest fulfillment of one contract at
least. We remarked one fact, however, that
many OF the soldiers will have no fits while
they wear these uniforms. The shoes, we
think, are also good, and will wear well.

CHICAGO, June l8.-The correspondent of
the Leavenworth Conservative, writing from
Kansas City, says: Yesterday two COM
panies of cavalry and one of Dragons were
sent to reconnoitre towards Independence.
They went within two and a half miles of
that place, when they came upon body of
secessionists numbering 600 or 1000.
The officers of the regular force were head
ing parley, when the rebels fred upon the
troops, wounding one man. Another sol
der had his shoulder crushed in the retreat.
An express arrived at Independence from
Kansas City on Friday, at 10 o'clock A. NJ
By it we learn that Capt. Holloway, Chief
of the rebel forces, was killed by his own
men, accidentally, together with IA men, in
the fire on troops yesterday. 1t seems that
while the officers of the regulars were hold
ing a parley with the rebels, the latter att
tempted to outhank the regulars, but did
not succeed. The regulars retired in good
order The rebels had seven pieces of can
non in sight, and fired two rounds. But
one shot was fred 10y the troops as they
did not 60 prepared to fight so large force.

ST. LOUIS, June Is.-The Democrat learns
from gentlemen just from Lexington that
yesterday evening as the advanced guard OF
the United States cavalry, under Captain
Price were marching along the road few
miles from Independence, they suddenly
came upon considerable body of State
troops stationed at the top OF a hill with
cannon commanding the road. The cavalry
fired upon the State troops and they return
ed the fire killing three of the federal troops.
Four secessionists are reported killed, one OF
whom was Col. Holloway in command of
the troops. There was no pursuit Of the
cavalry, and on Friday the State forces were
concentrating at Blue Mills, taking strong
position and awaiting an expected attack
from federal troops. Col Curtis's Iowa
regiment was to proceed from Macon
City last night taking the Hannibal
& St. Joseph Railroad to Renick Station,
and thence across the country 80 miles to
BoonvilIe.
About thirty secessionists attacked a
small number of Federal troops, who were
guarding the Dardenee Creek bridge, both
on the North Missouri Railroad, near St.
Charles, but were repuIsed. Two Federal
soldiers are said to be MORALLY wounded.
