An army correspondent Of one Of our ex-
changes says;
Nearly all the inhabitants Of Sharpsburg
have returned to their dwellings The
work of removing dead horses from the
streets and repairing damages to the build
ings has commenced. Two churches we're
nearly destroyed and will have to be re.
built.
Fortunately, the mansions Of the rich
rebels suffered the most severely. The
dwelling Of Mr.. Grover, a notorious Sc.
cessionists, was almost destroyed. A shell
from one Of our guns passed directly throug
bis portrait, hanging upon the wall in bis
parlor, and tore out his nose, his eyes aud
his woodworking but his bald head, neck
and shoulders remain within the frame
During the cannonadng the women and
children were huddled together for three
days in the cellars one cellar under q
large stone mansion contained more than
sixty. They entertained themselves with
prayer and psalm singing, aud cursing th'
Rebels or the YankeS, as their sympathie'
leaned with one or the other beligerent.
One can imagine how furious the cannon
ade must have been, ON the fact that bu
five dwellings in village containing 1900
inhabitants escaped pninJnred.

contending armies are lying quietly with the
Potomac between them, waiting develop
ments.
Since reconnaissance across the Potomac
at Parksburg last Saturday perfect quiet
has reigned along the lines, scarcely dis
turbed even by skirmishing of pickets.
We holl the river at Sharpsburg in
strong force, while the rebels occupy the
opposite bank, but not it is thought in force.
We nlso occupy Williamsport in sufficient
strength to resist any attempt of the rebels
to dislodge us.
lIarper's Ferry is likewise in our pos
session. aud we thus stand in position to
check recrossing 10 Maryland and TO re-
commence offensive operations. The army
is not idle. Large columns are in motion
TO day
A regiment of cavalry crossed the river
last night, about miles from Sharpsburg
on a reconnaissance. The rebels showed
themselves on the edge Of the woods but
made no demonstrations.

Maj. Gen. Wright in a special order is
sued to-day says : The prohibition of busi-

during which interval all able bodied men in
Cincinnati, Covington aud Newport will

under orders regulating the enrolled militia,

In dispensing with daily drills and sus-
pension of business the Gen. commanding
has in view, the relief as far as practicable
of people of burdens to which they have
not been ccustomed but would impress up
on the minds of all, the fact that danger
has not passed away and that the present
military organizations must be rigidly ad

RUNN1NG THE BLeKADE.-It has been
seen by dispatches that Capt. G w. Pre6lo
has had the great modification TO see
valuable prize slip through his fingers, aud
run the blocadc under his very nose. 1t
seems that the steamer put herself in uni-
form and assumed the air and strut OF
British man Of war, and as such pushed into
port under Com Preb e'S guns. That
was a trick meaner than uny ever atlrl6'
uted to q Yankee. But it succeeded,
and that's what's the matter. No wonder
poor Preble felt sold, and subscribed him-
self yours with great modification
For this delinquency we find that Cap
tain Prebe has been dismissed from thu
naval service Ifthis is just and proper il
the Navy, we only hope that. the same rgoT
will be observed towards sleepy and blum
derIng officers in the Army. Aud if this
is to be the order in regard TO both arms
of the service, then all the people will sa!
AMEN. But what, then will become Of
Buell.

the fighting in Maryland, and the surrender

Kown, commanding The rebel forces in
East Tennesse, dated Knoxville, Sept. 10,
stating that the Union forces evacuated
Cumberland Gap on Thursday night, the
18th inst, and that Gen. Stevenson was
pursuing them. The Rebel papers do not
regard this news as favorable, as it was
supposed by them that Gen. Morgan had
been completely hcmmed in. A dispatch
from Mobile, dated the 9th inst, says that
Gen. Price has driven the enemy in the di
rectien of E'stport, capturing Sl00 ,OO0
worth Of stores. Gen. Price was still in
