FREDER1ck. Sept. 2l-1O P. M.
Herald's special:
A dispatch, dated opposite Shepards-
town this noon, says every thing was
quiet there to-day. During last night
there was considerable firing between our
pickets and those of the enemyss on the
other side of the river.
At six O'Clock this morning number
of the enemy, supposed to be brigade
showed themselves on the opposite bluff,
and fred voley of musketry into our
artillery camp. Our batteries, Captain
Waterman's, Martins and Hazlett's, soon
opened a concentrated fire on the rebels,
causing them to disappear.
This morning aft az of truce was sent
over the river asking permission to bury
our dead, which was granted.
1t is believed the enemy must be out
of artillery ammunition from their not re-
spending to our guns. For some time
| there have been no rebels seen on the
opposite bank. 1t is thought they have
all fallen back.
1t would not be proper to state the dis
position or movement of our forces, but
it is probable important news may be ex-
pected from McClellan's army within the
next day or two.
The officers gsof General COUGHS div
sion, who left Harper's Ferry at 10
O'Clock this morning, report every thing
quiet there, and no signs of rebel forces
in that vicinity.
Large numbers of rebel soldiers scat
cred about the mountains are surrender
ing themselves to our officers. The rebel
army appears to be completely demoral-
lied, and in process of dispersion.
Numbers of wounded continue to pass
through here hourly en- route for the
North. It is believed by citizens that the
rebels lost at least 5000 men by desertion
during their raid into Maryland. Scarce
| ly sufficient recruits were obtained to
form company.
