Al 4 O'Clock, Mcclellan sent orders

Close of the Campaign in Maryland.

The rebel army, after being defeated
in series of hard fought engagements
among the hills of Maryland have sue
ceeded in getting back across the Po-
tomac into Virginia. 1t was hoped
that at least portion, if not al, of this
army of invaders would be either com
pletely destroyed or captured before
re.crossing into Virginia, and we be-
lieve that our Generals and their troops
strove hard enough to accomplish so
desired result.
But the unnecessary surrender OF
Harper's Ferry, by which the enemy
secured safe passage across the river
for their trains, the most we could ex-
pect was that they would be badly cut
up and punished in their attempt to es
cape into Virginia-and this, it appears,
las been most efficiently done. But
whether their trip down the Shenan-
uOdu w III DIONC sdiC OhSs tihS niO'N
can tell. From all accounts, it is prob
able that Hein,zelman and Sigel are
now moving from below to intercept
their retreat, while Mcclellan is still
pressing their rear, and they stand a
better chance of being surrounded or
destroyed now, in the Valley Of the
Shenandoah, than they did OIL the Pc
tomac. This conflict, SO terrlficaIly
conducted in Maryland, will now, We
predict, be re-opened in Virginia
with even greater fury, and if they are
vigorously pursued our army can fol-
low them into Richmond and capture
the capital of Srcessia with ease. 1t
is to be earnestly hoped that no rest or
chance 10 recuperate and repair losses
will be allowed them. Keep them
moving is the true policy.

Another Naval Victory.

Our gallant tars are determined to
maintain the fame and glory of the
navy. Commander Porter of the
Essex, has captured the city of Natchez.
The particulars are contained in the
New Orleans papers. The Essex was
cruising on the Mississippi. when she
was assailed by rebel gunboat, which
she speedily drove off, and finding her
hand in, then proceeded at once to
Natchez and reduced the town. As if
this were not enough, the Essex next
burned Bayou Sara, and afterwards

&c The Ruling Passion Strong in DEATH"
A late Convention of the democ-
racy" Of Worcester County Massachu-
sets, passed amongst other resolutions
OF a corresponding character, one strong
ly protesting against the interference
by Congress-, the cabinet, the executive
or their civil and military dependencies,
the generals in the army, or any gov
eminent officials, with slavery within
the limits of the American Union"
Now, we like that hugely. 1t is the
sentiment of that portion of the demo-
cratic party every where, which sym
pathizes with tour Southern brethren"
That party is in the last stage
of dissolution. The ideotic devotion
of its leaders to Slavery, had Frustrated
it with political consumption in every
one of the free States, even before the
open treason Of their fellow devotees
of the slave States, had fully disclosed
the divines features of the sweet insti.
tuition; and now when it is about to
plunge them into political perdition,
they cling to the horns of its bloody
altar with a grasp which the death
that is upon them, cannot relax, but
rather stiffens into unyielding rigidity.
The fools are like the green. horn

Reports Of the several Engagements.


WAsHIsGros 1hursdsy Sept. H. 1867
One Of your special correspondents forwards by
special messenger the following dispatch, which, al
though not 30 late as that which has already gone
over the wires contains additional matter OF interest
On the field three miles north Of Sharpsburg on
Wednesday, Sept. II, 81 o'clock a. M, reports were
received yesterday that the Rebels had been seen
crossing the Potomac into Virginia at WIliamsport
for two days. The general impression that We
should not encounter anything but their rear guard
north Of the river. Our pusuit was very leisurely.
On our left Tidbslls and Pettits batteries, sup
ported by Richardson, were engaged at long range
during the forenoon, the enemy replying sluggishly,
but doing no serious damage.
Our forces remained in camp until p. m. when
Gen. Hooker moved out on the right, feeling bis
way cautiously Gen. Mcclellan accompanied him
for a milo or two. After advancing about three
mies, Hooker's advance cavalry came upon a Rebel
battery in the woods, which opened upon it with
grape and canister. The infantry and artillery
here at once brought up, and at p. IN. heavy Skin.
rnishing commenced. The Rebel infantry were 70
near that the first discharge Of our artillery swept
their ranks fearfully. II grew dark that the
enemys position could only be seen by the flashes Of
musketry and artillery. The Rebels replied very
briskly 10 our attack the shell and cold shot plow
ing the ground among reserves, and falling like
hail about Hooker and his staff, but wounded only
few. Heavy cannonadlng and nusketry continued
until p. H., when the Rebels Lad been pressed
back for nearly mile.
During the night there was occasional picket
firing and at daylight this morning the fight re-
opened. Last night it was mainly confined 10 our
right, this morning it is along our whole line, two
or three mes in length, and is still going on furi-
ousy.
II is impossible 10 learn much about our loss in the
prevailing confusion but it has not yet been heavy.
Only few wounded, thus far, have been brought
back to the hospitals.
Our entire army is near the field, where it can be
brought into action within an hour. If il is only the
enemy's rear guard which is engaging us, that guard
must be very heavy. But all appearances indicate
that his entire force is in position for general en-
gagement.
We have taken number Of prisoners, including
several field officers. There are reports that Gen.
Lee is killed, but l cannot trace them to any trust
worthy source.

Advices just received at headquarters from Ha-
gersiowD confirms the report that no fight had
taken place to-day that the Rebels are supposed to
be short Of ammunition, and that the fight would
probably commence at daybreak tomorrow. Our
troops are said to have behaved nobly, and talk con-
fdently Of gaining great victo ny tomorrow.
Gov. Cartin had arrived safely at Hagerstown,
together with Co. j. A. Wright, Surgeon General
Smith and his corps of surgeons. Gov. Curtin and
staff are using every exerion in preparing for the
comfort of the wounded brought into that place.
A telegraph line is being extended to Boonsboro,
thus bringing US much nearer to Gen. Mcclellan 8

WAsHiSGTos Thursday Sept, l9. 1862.
The latest information received here up to ii
o'clock to-day, was dated from the seat Of wal at II
o'clock last night, when it was telegraphed that
Gen. Mcclellan had severe engagement throughout
the day, resulting in gaining the position for which
our army fought.
Information from point within -four mies of the
battle ground, up to 9 O'Clock this morning, says
nothing Of the engagement having been renewed
previous to that hour. 1t merely states that thou
sand Rebel prisoners were taken yesterday, and that
they were being marched to the rear past that point
under guard.
