From the New York HeraldI
The rebels threaten the line of the Ohio and
/ Potomac, and have invaded Maryland. Hunger
and desperation have compelled them to sdop;
/ this new policy All is now cast on the single
/ throw of the die. One Of the members OF the
rebel Congress proposed the other day to raise
two hundred and fifty thousand more men fol
I the rebel army, and the Richmond Dispatch Of
the 26lh ult calls for the raising Of half mil
! lion of men TO invade the North. Ia the rebel
House of representatives. on the 2ilh nit, Mr.
F0Ote offered a series of resolutions tavoring Az
/ aggressive war, also favoring proclamation to
tlc inhabitants Of the Northwestern States, offer
ing to guarantee the free navigation Of the Mis-
sissippi and Ohio rivers to their mouths, if they
viii desist from the further prosecution Of the
war.
With these facts before us, and in view of the
pending struggle of the rebels and the extraor-
dinary.exefti0ns which are being made by the
Union on one side and the rebellion on the other,
it may not be uunleresting to our readers to give
statement OF the relative muscular strength OF
the cornbatants, according to the census Of 1860,
IN order to show that the rebellion has reached
its eliminating point, and is about to ba crushed
by the overwhelming power Of the loyal people
of the republic.
The whole population in the United States in
Ise-9 was , 64l ,y77-that of the free States be-
ing lS, ,502 l24, of the slave States - 433 ,508
and OF the Territories 466, ,345. The white popu-
lation of the Southern States, however, is only

rebellious States will not and dare not put arms
into the hands OF the black population, we can
not tako negroes into the estimate of their milf

FUSEY DOCUMENT.
A very singular document has made its
appearance in this State. This is nothing else
than proclamation from one H4wes, styling
himself provisional governor Of Kentucky, and
summOning the legislature of the State to
convene al the capital in Frankfort on the 17th
inst. Hawes says that tie government has
abandoned the capital; that the State archives
are exposed, and liable to destruction that
lmpOItant matters demand the immediate atten-
ton OF the legislature; that he is present with
an army Of ten thousand men to protect them in
their sitting; that they shall not be melested nor
interiered with whine in session that he dis
claims any intentiSl of interfering with the
regular and legitimate government OF the State
AMI, finally, that the seats OF those members
who fail 10 appear at the appointed time and
place, he will declare vacant and order special
elections to fill them. This is a funny doeu.
ment Mr.. Provisional Governor Hawes is
taking funny position, Doubtless he IS not
informed that Louisville IS now the capital Of
Kentucky, and, should he come here, he would
hnd the government peTf3rming al It's functions,

Special TO the American, from Frederick
BALTIMORE, September l6.-The combined
forces of Loring and Jackson stOrmsd the works
at Harpers Ferry yesterday morning and cap
tuTed the position. Miles is said to have made
a desperate resistance Accounts differ Some
flag Other accounts are that he was killed, or
mortally wounded, before the surrender.
Our forces, numbering six thousand, were
paroled. When the parOled men left, the enemy
were preparing to blow up three spans Of The
iron bridge.
Reports were circulated in Frederick to-day
that Mcclellan had re-tsken Hsrper's Ferry.
They were not deemed reliable.
PHILADELPHIA, September I6-A special
dispatch to the Bulletin, from Harrisburg, says
telegraph and railroad communication to Hs-
gerstOwn was re-opened last night, showing that
that place had been totally abandoned by the
rebels and Te-occupied by our troops.
1t is rumored at HsgerstOwn that another bat
tie is going on this morning between Sharps-
burg and Middlebury, but no particulars have
been received. Sharpsburg is near the Potomac,
about ten miles west of biiddletown. It is not
unlikely that Mcclellan is engaging the rebels
in that neighboThOod to-day, and disputing their
passage Of the river.

According to reports, Miles evacuated the

The officers were allowed to 60 out with their
side-aTms and horses, and the men with their

was conditional.

knew it; FIVE hundred of their comrades were
lying cold and ghastly on the battlefield i'm

more frightful as its impenetrability was rem
dsred still more impenetrabls by its constantly

the battle terminated, the rebels having with
drawn from the field. Soon after however, they
sent in flag of truce, aski, permission to bury
their dead, which was granted.

Federal Runners from North mississippi
From the Memphis Bulletin, September 20l
An escaped prisoner reports that for eight or
ten days soldiers were at intervals passing
through Grenada for Holly Springs; they were
said to be Prices troops. TIE whole are stated
to be on their way to join Breckinridge.
Another report, given with confidence, in
forms us that Pinson's and Jackson's cavalry
have joined Yillipigue, and that the whole are
at present stationed some dozen miles south Of
the city half way between Memphis and Her
nando.
These movements infimate that we may ex-
pec5 interesting news from localities in the
neighbOrhood Of the river within few days.
AS late as Wednesday morning, Corinth had
not only not been evacuated, but General Grant
was every day expecting an attack from Prices
army. So imminent was fight in that direction
that the whole army was drawn up in line
of battle on Wednesday morning.
Last Sunday the advance of Price appeared
in front of I-u-ka when Rosencranz's force,
which was evacusting the place, attacked and
drove them back bnt finding that be would be
overpowered, he finished the removal of all the
stores, destroyed the houses and retreated to
Corinth
We have reason to believe that battle has
occurred, or is imminent, between the forces un-
der Generals Grant and Price, near COrinth.
At last accounts, General BreckinTidge was near
Holly Springs, marching to join Price whose
advance attacked Rosencranz at I-u-ka last Sun
day. Iu ks was burnt, when Rosenersnz re-
tired toward Corinth, which has not been burnt,
as was incorrectly reported in the Grenada AP-
PEAL. Every bouse was standing as late as
Wednesday morning.
There are about fifteen hundred negroes en-
camped two miles south from Corinth, and about
as many more are employed as cooks teamsters,
servants, and laboreIs in the camps at COrinth.
