HERALD's SPECIAL.

FREDERICK, Sept q, 10 p MA dis
patch dated opposite Sheppardstown this
noon, says everything is quiet there to-
day. During last night there was con-
siderable firing between our piekets and
those of the enemy on the other side of
the river. At six o'clock this morning a
number of the enemy, supposed to be a
brigade, showed themselves opposite a
bluff and fired voIley of musketrY into
our artillery camp. Our batteries, Capts
Waterman's, Martin and Hazlitt's, soon
opened fire ON the rebels, causing them
to dispense This afternoon flag of
truce was sent over the river, asking
permission to bury our dead, which was
granted. It is believed the enemy must
be outof artillery ammunition, from their
not responding to our guns. For some
time there has not been rebel seen on
the opposite bank 1t is thought they
have all fallen back 1t would not be
proper to state the disposition or move
ments of onr forces, but it is probable
important news may be expected from
McClellan's army within the next day or
two Officers of Gen. COUGHS division,
who left Harpers Ferry at 10 O clock
this morning, report everything quiet
there, and no signs Of the rebel forces in
that vicinity.
Large numbers of rebel soldiers scat
tered about the mountains are surren-
dering themselves TO our officers. The
rebel army appears to be completely de-
moralized ard in process of dispersion.
Numbers of wounded continue to pass
through here hourly en- route for the
North. 1t is believed by our citizens
that the rebels lost at least 5000 men by
desertion during the raid into Maryland.

SIR: l regret to inform you that a
three niasted screw steamer, wearing the
English red ensign and pennant, and
carrying four quarter boats and a bate
ny of light broadside7 guns, one or two
pivots, and having every appearance of
an English Man of War, ran the blockade

. stances;- : 4s5 tai Z s8l -ss-izrs eaf

speak schooner standing in under sail
The smoke of steamer was discovered
bearing about southeast and standing
directly for u.s. Obsvering she was fir
ing black smoke, Immediately got un-
der way and stood toward her, signaling
to the Minora to chase at discretion.
We soon neared the steamer in company
with the Minora, who, as she approach
ed, gradually hauled to the windward.
When abeam of him about 100 yards
! distant, Ihailed him but received no an
swer then fired shot across his
bow. He still ranged ahead without
stopping. Still thinking him an English
Man of War, / fired two more shots
across her bow, and then directed shot
at him, which went over, between his
fore and main mastsg He soon hauled
down his flag and turned his guns to
bear on us, but having no flag to fight
under was afraid to fire. We contin-
ued to fire at him, assisted by the Mino-
ia and one of the mortar schooners, but
by his superior speed and unparalleled
audacity, he managed to escape. We
sent our shot all around and over him,
and several of our she'll and the Mino-
ra struck him. With..great modification

FREDERICK, Sept 21-The 4th Michi-
gan, with few men from Sykes Brig
ade, crossed the river at Shepardstown
ford late Friday afternoon to reconnoi-
ire
They met with stout resistance from
theenemy but succeeded in reaching this
side with but slight loss, bringing with
then, four feiees of artillery captured
from the rebels. l af
The occupation of the Virginia shore
was again attempted this morning, but
with less success
Brig. Gen. Barnes, with his own and a
portion of Syke brigade, some cavalry
with two batteries, crossed and took po-
ton on the Virginia shore. : -
Shortly after the troops had been plac-
ed in position the enemy emerged with a
line of infantry mile long.
The troops soon became engaged when
the order was given to retire, which was
done in good order. The enemy follow
ed after US closely.
pr When the enemy came within range
of our fire we opened upon them from
twenty pieces of artillery posted along
the Maryland bank with such effect that
they were obliged to retire. h
Their loss must have been heavy as the
explosion of our shells were seen to make
large gaps in their lines. ssae .s
> Our loss in killed, wounded and pris-
oners was about $50. ~
- Information was received here to-day
of the evacuation of Harpers Ferry

decisive action was yet to come. Later

MEETING OF THE PEsssyLvAsIASs LAST NIGHT.
An adjourned meeting of the Pennsylvania Asso-
citation, for the relief OF sick and wounded soldiers
from that State held in the First Presbyterian
Rev. DR.. Sunderland, the chairman, Hon. Mr.. More
head Of Pennsylvania, called the assemblage to
order, and the reports of the various officers and
committees were then read, they all demonstrating
the previous efficiency of the society. II was sta
ted that the number of Pensyly anians In hospital
mostly In this yiclnlty, for the week preceding
was 3,2ss, and that the funds, now that another
conflict had occurred, had been rendered inadequate
to the demand. Addresses were made by several
eminent Pennsylysnians, ex-Secretary Cameron,
and others, and were interspersed with sentiments
very touching and imposing. MI. 90
SPEECH OF GEN. CAMERON.
We give below the substance of General Came
rons remarks, who was quite eloquent on this 90
cAsion:
After compllmenting the society, he spoke Of
the Importance of looking to the welfare Of SOL
diers to be sent home to be cared for by their rela-
tives and friends, than to be kept here at Govern
ment expense, away from those home influences
which are very much calculated to restore men to
health. He denounced the policy OF keeping these
men here, and claimed that the same patriotism
which brought them here would, when they recov-
cred bring them back again.
Speaking OF the proposed Christmas dinner, he
said; "Ay God better send them home and let them
eat crust OF bread by their own Aresldes."
In reference to the war, he said we must fight II
through, however great the sacrifice. There could
be no compromise, and as to reconstruction, there
could be no reconstruction OF house with rotten
and sound timber.
