EDS. yJoUREAL:-AL important arrest
p was made here this morning. A man re-
Z presenting himself as being recruiting Off.
Ger in the q. s. Army, crossed the river at
Owensboro, and put up for the night at the
residence OF John Beeler, three miles from
this place, which he evaded. He is mount
ed on q fine horse with the "U. s." brand
which, on sight, was pronounced forgery
By military men. He represented that be
was en- route from Nashville to Chicago on
recruiting expedition, and exhibited
pass from General Negley. Upon search
ing bis saddle bags, near SIS, 600 was found
on the Bank of Clifton and Bank of Mes
ton, payable at Clifton, in Canada; also a
rough made, regular secesh bowe-knife, dis.
tine,ly marked with blood. He seems to
be well informed in regard to the move
ments and men Of the United States Army,
and Is beyond any doubt, keen, sbrewd
man, intrusted with some villainous scheme
against the peace and laws of the State and
Country, and although no attempt on bis
par.ato pass the fraudulent money can be
proved, he will be committed on general
principles. sasea8 81 s7sTofssil
The Ram Hornet paid us visit yes,er.
uay. one performed an exploit Just below
this place, at the foot of French Island, that
was very commendable. A small trading
boat has been laying along the Kentucky
shore for le months, doing-as the citizens
say who reside in the vicinity-a consid-
erable contraband business in the way of
shipping coffee and whisky across the coun-
try. Upon the approach of the Ram, with
his horns spread and mouth (muzzled)
open, the commander skedaddled, leaving
his better half waving the stars and stripes:
but that dodge was no go with Capt. Orth
bis teitimony for conviction was too strong,
an giving the woman short time to re-
move the contents, the craft was towedinto
the middle of the stream and set on fire
and burned to the waters edge.
The trial of the man who was arrested is
now progressing, and is only delayed for
want of witnesses to prove that he gave
different name than the one he gave at the
trial, which was Wood.

Harper's Ferry Retaken.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-THE Americans
Frederick letter says AT the time OF the
departure of the cars this afternoon, it was
very generally asserted here that Harper's
Ferry fell into our possession again Tuesday
evening at Z o'clock, and was occupied by a
portion of Gen. Burnside's force, before the
rear of Gen. Hills division had all crossed
the river, who to the extent of 1900 by one
statement, and 1000 by another, were taken
prisoners.
II have conversed with some members of
the New York l2th who were not paroled by
the enemy, their haste being so great that they
could not spare time to attend to them; who
informed me that there is no doubt that that
place is now in our possession. They say
that it was four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon
before an opportunity was given them to cross
the bridge, and that they had not marched a
mile before they met the advance of our col
umn moving on. They say the rebels did not
undertake to hold the place, but merely made
hasty passage through, not even taking time
to secure their plumber, much of which for
want of transportation, they destroyed.
''The rumor of the retaking of the Ferry
this evening says that nearly all the guns and
arms were recaptured, and that so sudden
was the descent made on them that the rebels
did not succeed i'll destroying the railroad
bridge, the three spans of which had just been
completed. The whole number killed during
the seige was 43, and the wounded about 150."

THE FIGHTING NEAR sH lRpsBURG.
A SECOND BATTLE RAGING THERE.

HARRISBURG, Sept. 1.-THE battle fought
yesterday between Sharpsburg and Middle
town, closed without a definite result No
firing had been heard from Hagerstown since
five o'clock yesterday. Stragglers coming in
to Hagerstown report that General Longstreet
had been killed and that the rebels had been
surrounded. The stragglers also say that the
ammunition and provisions of the rebels have
now completely run out
A later dispatch to Gov Curtin, states that
the battle recommended early this morning,
and was raging with great fury at Sharpsburg
up to $40 this forenoon, the latest advces.
The state troops are pushing forward to the
border.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-THE Bulletin has
the following special dispatch at Hagers-
town this morning heavy firing was constant
ly heard in the direction of Sharpsburg, but
no definite information from that quarter had
been received. 1t is supposed that the rebels
are making most desperate push to reach
Williamsport and get across the Potomac A
Union scout who left the battle field at eleven
O'Clock this morning, had reached Hagers-
town. He reports that the fighting has been
perately hard pressed by our army A force
has been detached from the Union army to de-
stroy the Williamsport bridge or to block the
ferry over the Potomac at that point. The
rebels are supposed to be retreating"
WASHINGTON, Sept. lit is credited here
that battle commenced yesterday afternoon
in the vicinity of Sharpsburg, continuing ua-
til nine p. NJ. Our army rested for the night
f,o Los &c C
and expected to renew the engagement at
daylight this morning. The above facts are
gathered from non official sources.
HARRISBURG, PA, Sept. lin the battle
to-day our right wing rested on Sharpsburg
and our left this side of Antiturn creek near
Porterstown. The rebels are falling back to
Harper's Ferry much worried and dispirited
The wounded are arriving at Hagerstown
The bridge reported destroyed by the federal
forces was the canal bridge at or near Will
Transport. The deatruct on of this bridge is
of great importance, as it impedes the rebels
from bringing up supplies.
HARRISBURG, Sept. I7.-This has been an
eventful day in Maryland, and at the latest ad-
vices everything was favorable. The rebel
Gen. Longstreet was killed and the rebel Gen.
Hill is a prisoner.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l7.-There is an APP
parently well founded rumor that great bat
tie took place at Centreville on Ritoclan creek
which resulted in our success. Ritoclan
creek is on the east side of South Mountain
and falls into the Potomac about ten miles
south of Harper's Ferry. At what point on
this creek Centerville is situated we can not
now ascertain.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 17.-Over 1900 rebel
prisoners captured in the recent battle arrived
here this evening, under guard of a detach-
ment of the 18th New Jersey. They will be
sent north tomorrow.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Medical inspect
ors Collum, Mussey, and Humphreys, leave
to-day for a thorough inspection of the army
of Gen. Mcclellan. They will examine ev-
cry regiment, battalion, and battery, ascertain
its military and medical history, the number
of killed and wounded in battles, the losses
from discharges, desertion, and death, the
number of recruits received, the prevailing
nationality of the men, their physical and
moral condition, and every circumstance cal
culated to be of use in sanitary and medical
statistics.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l7.-Col. Miles loss
before his surrender is believed to be less than
one hundred. A. 2. Hill was left in COM
mand there to gather up the spoils. At FIVE
o'clock yesterday Jackson marched large
part of his force out of Harper's Ferry on the
Winchester road.
Gen. Casey, commanding the provisional
brigadeS, is ordered to concentrate his COM
mand on the Virginia side of the river, in a
position suitable for continuing the drill in
struction and discipline with which he is
charged.
Gen. Barry, in addition to his duties as in
spector of artillery, has been ordered to re-
port to Gen. Banks, as chief of artillery of the
defences of Washington.
Very many applications are made by min
listers for situations as hospital chaplains, but
as there are no vacancies, and no more such
officers to be created, further opportunities
are useless.
The sanitary commission now in session is
about to undertake, with the approval of the
proper authorities, the preparation and publ
cation, at short intervals, OF an accurate gen.
eral directory, containing the address and
condition Of every sick and wounded soldier
in the government hospitals. This timely ac
ton of the commission is well calculated tt
meet the anxious inquiries of the public.
Demand was to-day made from the head
| quarters of the army Of the Potomac for sur
geons and medical supplies, and surgeon gen
eral Hammond has accordingly sent from
Washington and caused to be sent from thu
eastern cities, first class surgeons to the num-
Der of one hundred. He has also dispatched
thither large train of medical supplies.
Immense hospital accommodations are be-
ing provided in and around Washington. The
Hardwood hospital encampment at Corcoran's
farm already accommodates two thousand pa
tients, and Dr. Mitchell has been ordered to
enlarge its capacity to the number of three
thousand beds. DR. Luckily is preparing the
I'd cavalry barracks on 7th street for the re-
ception of one thousand patients, and DR..
Webster of the Douglas hospital is engaged in
enlarging the capacity of that institution to an
equivalent number OF beds.
Gen. Hatch arrived here to-day. He was
wounded in the right leg in the late battle.
The pickets near Edwards Ferry yesterday
arrested j. p. Walter on suspicion of being a
rebel spy. He-has been sent to the old CAPT
tol prison.

The scene was most appalling. The dead
bodies were lying in heaps as they had fallen.
In some places, where the heat was most in
tense, whitened bones could be seen through
the smoke and flame. In other places large
masses of blackened flesh were visible. Up
to the present time sixty-three bodies have
been taken from the ruins. The cause of the
explosion is not known, but it is admitted by
all to have been accidental.

HARRISBURG, Sept 1.-THE Allegheny ar
senal was blown up at noon to-day, and was
on fire at three O'Clock this afternoon. We
have no particulars of how it occurred.
The report throughout the west that the
Pennsylvania Central railroad is INSTRUCTED
by the transportation of troops and govern
ment supplies, or that it has been in danger
of invasion, are entirely without foundation.

BosToN, Sept. 17.-As the 6.20 train from

Portsmouth for Boston. One engineer and
two iremen were killed, and some thirty or
forty more or less injured. Both locomotives
and three cars were smashed.

LATEST ABOUT THE VICTORY.
The Rebels Terribly
Defeated.
The Rebellion is Virtually Subdued.

HARRISBURG, Sept. 17-Erening.-Re-
ports just come in here state that the whole
rebel army has been driven this way, and are
retreating to Hagerstown. Longstreet is
captured, and D. H. Hill killed. Ten thou
sand Pennsylvania militia will meet the foe at
Hagerstown, coming to invade Pennsylvania
backwards. A severe engagement occurred
yesterday between our army and the rebels,
well thrashed, with terrific slaughter. Five
hundred of their dead were buried by us as
early as nine A. NJ, to-day, and the work was
still going on.
This morning the battle recommended at
five o'clock. jackson Joined Lees forces at
Antistan creek, while onr forces were rein
forced by thirty thousand men from Wash
ington. Jackson's reinforcements to Lee are
reported at forty thousand men. Up to my
last advices victory illuminated our standards,
and the impression prevails at Hagerstown
that the whole rebel army Of Virginia is an
initiated.
Confidence prevails here, and enthusiastic
admiration of Mcclellan and his army We
have undoubtedly won great and decisive
victories both yesterday and to-day. All the
facts previously telegraphed you have not,
however, been fully confirmed up to this mo-
ment. Our trophies are whole batteries and
thousands of small arms and prisoners. The
rebellion is virtually subdued
