The following IL TO The baltimore american:
The intelligence from the irons this morning is OF
the most cheering character. Notwithstanding the
bai news from Hsrpers Ferry, Gen. Mcclellan was
pursuing them with vgor most destructive to the
enemy.
Mcclellan pursued the enemy on Monday morning
with his reserves and a large body Of fresh troops
The enemy took roadth toward the river az Harper
Ferry ana at Sheppardstown, and hc vas pursuing
them aud shelling their retreat with great loss. In
several contests Monday where they made stand,
our troops charged on them with such vgor that they
fell back from point TO point in great haste. The
battles and advantages obtained on Monday are
thought to be superior in importance than that Of
Sunday.
Drayton's South Caroline brigade is entirely gone
either killed, wounded prisoners. The 18th
Michigan, a new regiment, done up this brigade,
first with bullets, and finally with bayonets.
Howell Cobb was wounded and taken prisoner,
and will be back to Frederick sooner than he boosted
he would.
Gen. Mcclellan was pushing on them last evening,
however, very close, and had already sent 10 the
rear 5000 prisoners and four batteries.
Col. Sroge OF the 18th Virginia aud Col. james OF

Their bodies were left in possession.
The South Carolina Brigade was severely handled.

No particulars Of the Charleston fight have been
received. All reports however, agree that the
Rebels were severely handled, aud repu.sed with
great loss. Col. Lghtburn gave the citizens an
hour notice to leave the town before tho place WAS
destroyed. Lightbufn's forces marched throngh the
place in perfect order, taking the Ripley roa going
toward Ravenswood on the ONO River. where
they arrived this evening bringing his baggage train

assistance. The fth Ohio, 9th Virginia, and ID
Virginia Cavalry, who were cut of at Summerye,
succeeded in joining Lightburn, and were liz the

Sunday. McClel.ans army was marching out O.
Frederick by four o'clock on Sunday morning. The
men had been called at three, and received break
fast Of coffee and two pieces Of bread each. which
was all they had to eat till ten o'clock at night. They
were too eager TO meet the foe however, TO feel the
pangs of hunger-after they had met him they were
too busy driving him up and over the mountain to
care TO eat.
Early in the forenoon the rear guard Of the enemy
was discovered and an artillery duel continued to
about o'clock in the afternoon, when the main
body Of the Rebels made q stand in position OF
great strength on Middletown Nights, at point
commanding the Bagerstown road, and completely
dsputng further progress after their reireatng
columns. Hitherto, artillery had ruled the day.
The enemy was in a vastly superior position to shel.
our advance. Our troops had been 10 well handled
that the losses were exceedingly light. At o'clock
musketry began to play an important part in the
engagement our infantry advancing to within eight
nine rods Of the enemys lines before they opened
fire.
For two hours the fighting is said to have been the
most savage yet known in the course Of the war.
All tho time however, the enemy were being slow
y crowded back up the hill and into the gap. ~ 5
o'clock general orderto charge was given and then
occurred that fearful rush ! spoke of in my last
nights letter, the enemy running like sheep, piling
the ground down the other ride Of the mountain
with their dead. Ii was stern and cruel woik with
the blooddrppiDg bayone, and the shrieking grape
and canister found ready victims in the flying mass
who hurried away from the death that followed
after. 1t was complete rout, no doubt Of it.
We are apt 10 hear Of Gen. Hooker where there ia
fighting. lie led our right in the recent battle,
Burnside the center, and Franklin the left. These
several generals pushed on their men rapidly, fol.
lowing up every advantage, and allowing the enemy
no opportunity TO collect himself where he was
shaken. THIS constant pressure turned what was
for hours an orderly retreat into disgraceful rout
before sundown. In this battle perhaps for the fin,
time recently the enemy were outgeneraed.
A messenger got through from Iiarper's Ferry on
Sunday, with tie intelligence that Col. Miles had
been driven from the Maryland Heights, after de.

Perhaps the army that moved up the Virginia aide

The terms of capitulation were arranged by Gen.

Gems. Jackson. Hill, and Branch, commanded the
Rebels.
The first account of COL Miles surrender was tele-
eraphed by the operator at Point OF ROCKS last
nght upon the authority Of siraggers who had come
in, and was confirmed by the operator at Chambers
burg with additional particulars. The Eth Hi
nois Cavalry, Col. Vose, which reached Chambers
burg Yesterday in safety, had cut its way through
the beleaguerng force of the enemy, and succeeded
in reaching and crossing the river TO Willanfport
On the way TO Cbamberrburg they captured Gen.
Lonestreets ammunition train, GO wagons and 10
prisoners
The fact that COL Miles sent this valuable part OF
his command regiment 800 strong, outside of his
Notifications at s time when comparatively no fight
ing had been done, leads TO the belief that he ex-
pccted be obliged TO surrender, as his message to
Gen. Mcclellan minated that he should do yester-
day morning, unless relieved. The.infantry,
including the command of Gen. julius White, which
Joined COL Miles from Martinsburg on Saturday,
was all taken dead or alive. The number ofprison-
ers is not much more than 5000, most of them be-
longing TO The new regiments. The cavalry, which
succeeded in making its escape, suffered very little
