New words.

In yesterdays paper the compositor
made us say the "sword of Damveles,"
when We wrote the sword of Damoclcs."
We don't know however, that it is much
Of mistake. This is day for coming
new words Skedaddle, for example, which
the Louisville Journal says is all right
and euphonious .DanOeles, then is a
f's,ound OF "d-n" and "Velles" imper
feet subiunctive, second person singular
of the Latin verb volo, and meaning ''tolido1
non DIN please" "The sword of Damvel-
les" it will be seen is much more com
prehensive than "the sword of Damocles,"
the former being noun Of multitude and:
the latter merely proper noun. Damvelles,
owing to its slightly profane origin, may
strike some persons as being an improper
noun. What say our critical brethren
of the press Shall our new word "born
in strife, and nurtured in CONFUSION" be
adopted into the English language ornot?

FREDERICK TAKEN.
GREAT FIGHT In MARYLAND.
5000 Prisoners Taken.
HOWELL COBB CAPTURED
THE REBELS STILL sKEDADDL1NG.

By mail of the 10Th came intelligence of
great battle in Maryland, near Frederick
Mcclellan commanding the Federal
forces, and Lee the Rebels. 1t seems to
have resulted in the total defeat of the en-
envy.
Severe fighting had also been going on at
Harper's Ferry. But small force was
stationed there, and they were attacked in
overwhelming numbers by the Rebels-l AT
ter day of most desperate fighting. the
whole Federal force was compelled TO sur
render-conditionally, however, as our off
GERS were allowed to retain their side-aims
and horses. The next day they commenced
paroling the prisoners, but had not finished
when Mcclellan attacked the Ferry. and
such was the confusion that large num-
Der of the prisoners we're allowed to go
without giving parole. Hard fighting fol-
lowed, and finally the Rebels gave way, and
our troops now triumphantly hold the posi-
ton.
The following is the latest dispatch sent
by Gen. Mcclellan to the War Department,
from the battle field near Frederick:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
September Is, 10 Pm
Information this moment received com
pleteiy confirms the rout and demoraliza-
ton of the rebel army. Gen. Lee is re.
ported wounded and Garland killed.
Gen. Hooker alone has over one thou
sand prisoners, seven hundred having been
sent to Frederick.
1t is stated that Lee gives his loss al
900. We are following as rapidly as the
men can move.

The following is to the Baltimore Amer

Intelligence from the front this morning
is of the most cheering character.
Gen. Mcclellan pursued the enemy on
Monday morning, with his reserves and a
large body of fresh troops.
The enemy took the road towards the
river, at Harper's Ferry and at SheparIs-
town. and he was pursuing them, Smelling
their retreat, and causing them great loss.
The battles and advantages obtained Oh
Monday are thought to be superior in i'm

Evacua,ion of Frederick.

New YeRK, Sept. Is.
A special to the Tribune says that on
Thursday, at a. M, the rebels main
body, consisting of division under Jack.
son, division under Longstreet. a division
under D. H. Hill. and possibly fourth
division which had been encamped at Dr.
bsna, commenced marching through Fred
erick toward Hagerstown. The movement
began at q M, and lasted until p. N.
The most liberal estimate made, places
the whole force at 81. 900 strong. including
8. 600 negroes. The negroes we're mixed in
promiscuously with the whites. Many Of
them carried . musket, saber, dirk, or
bowie knife.
The vilest and worst-looking person in
the whole army-a contemplate, bloated
blackgusrd-wss Howell Cobb.
We have been doing fine business to-
day in chasing mp the rebels. About 500
prisoners have been taken in the skirmishss.
and are now arriving and being rapidly dis
posed of. The rearguard of the enemy,
fighting obstinatelys contested every inch
of the ground.
Nearly all the Marylsnders who enlisted
in the rebel army while in this vicinity.
have been taken prisoners to-day in the
skirmishes.
To-day We have lost in killed aud wound
ed but 25 or 80. The enemy is said to have
suffered severely from one or two of our
cavalry charges.
Two privates Of the Cd Mississippi bst
TALON were captured this morning near
Leesburg. and brought to headquarters.
They agree in saying they were pressed in
TO the rebel service, and express ssiisfac
ton at being prisoners.
But few troops are in Richmond, they
say, that city being little better than vast
hospital. They further report that Charles
ton. 8. c., has been practically evacuated
by its citizens, many becoming fugitives to
distant cities, and many others having en-.
cased themselves in hastily constructed
huts beyond the limits of the corporation
and the range of the Yankee gunboats.
