Reported Rattle At Marper's Ferry.

The Baltimore American Of Saturday morning has
the following:
"a gentleman who left Frederick Thursday after
noon states that when he left there considerable
CONSERVATION among the Rebels with regard to
rumor that had Just reached town of heavy battle
az Harper's Ferry.
"Col Dixon II. Miles repulsed an attack by Gen.
Loring with great slaughter. The account was that
I,oriDg had crossed the Potomac at Williamsport
simultaneously with the crossing OF jackson and Lee
at Leesburg. Instead OF marcbing toward Hagers.
town, he had taken the public road by the canal in
the direction Of Harpers Ferry.
"a shor: distance above Harper's Ferry he at
tempted to ford the river with large body Of cav.
airy and infantry. The report WAS that when the
river was covered with troops, Col. Miles opened
upon them with his batteries from Camp Hall and
from the trests work of the railroad with grape and
canister, causing the river actually TO run with
blood, when the attempt was abandoned.
'They had also previously made an attempt TO
storm the batteries on Maryland Heights, and were
repused by masked batteries scattering them and
strewing the field with dead.
"That there was a fight at Harper's Ferry on
"Wednesday afternoon was well known in Frederick,
as cannonadng heard there for fully four hours.
The current rumor both among Rebels and citizens
of Frederick was as above stated"

much excited and each one telling what he saw and
heard of the movements Of the Rebels.

Citizens who arrived to-day from WilIiansport say
that very large Rebel army is at that point and u
is supposed that they intend crossing there. The
people are leaving their homes throughout that
entire section of country, and crowdng up this way
toward Harrisburg. Bnt it is expected that the
Rebels will soon be driven out, as large bodies Of
troops are expected here soon from the northward,
under the call of Gov. Curtin.
The Anderson Cavalry are supplied with horses
and other equipments, and, when they ore prepared
to take the field, we shall no doubt receive good
account of them, they are one of the finest reg'
ments in the service.
Nothing has been heard from Hagerztown up TO
o'clock this evening, and it is believed til the
Rebels will not come this side of that place.

From The Bsltimore Ameriean Of Saturday.


We have some additional particulars from gen.
tleman who left Frederick at O'Clock on Thursday
afternoon, where he had been since the occupation
of Frederick. He confirms all the statements We
have published with regard TO the destitute condition
of the Rebel army but says that the discipline Wa
most severe among them. For tho slightest ofiense
he saw officers knock ilen down with the butt on
their pistols, and otherwise treat them with the
greatest severity. They were in the most nlthy
condition. and could be seen about the streets picking
the lice off each other.
He states that the evacuation OF Frederick County
commenced during Tuesday night, and that In the
train was about 500 wagons, nearly all OF them
empty and he has no doubt that they are to DO neo

Virginia at Williamsport. As 10 their number, he
contends that not more than 80, 900 have passed
through Frederick, and be thinks that they left fully
impressed with the conviction that longer stay 10
that section of country would not be safe.

Provost Grard had been Withdrawn. He passed, on
the Baltimore Turnpike, the 4th Rebel Maryland
Cavalry, going toward Frederick, with baggage
train in 'front.' evidently closely following the rear
of Longstreet's army, which had gone over tho
mountains toward Hagerstown. He passed the
Rebel pickets at New-Market, at clock on Thurss

at that place on Tuesday, the Sd inst and at last
accounts were held by the Rebels as SUCH waiting
TO ascertain to which United States army division
they belonged. As they are in the division OF Gen.
Wool, no apprehension need be felt As to their not
being paroled.
MOVEMENT OF GEN. BURNSIDE.
We had an interview yesterday with a ger
from Gen. Burnside's corps darmee, who left Lis.
bon on the Baltimore and Frederick turnpike, at s
O'Clock Thursday evening. Gen. Burnside occupied
at that time the Frederick turnpike from Cooksvlo
to Ridgeville with his intsnry, and had sent .
strong cavalry force, with artillery, to New
Market. Just as the messenger left, the report
reached headquarters that the enemy had been
driven out OF New-Market, and some prisoners cap
tured
The army was in excellent condition, and was
moving forward with enthusiasm to meet the enemy.

Flax Cokton.


The Government has recommended throug b
the Commissioner of Agriculture The practiea,
bilRy of procuring fax and hemp as a substi-
tu1e for cotton. Results Of the most inper-
tnnt character to the manufacturing Interests
Of the Unilcd States ure promised by the per
felton, of this valuable invention for making
frem unruucd fax substance resembling cot
ten.
In this connection the TOledo Blade spea s
IF what is being done by the Flax Cotton
Company of New York. The teslings of the
Esx within the last few weeks, by this com
pany, hAs demonstrated the matter TO certain
ty. They have taken the fax straw as it came
from the threshing floor Of the farner, run it
ihrough the brakes and duster. and fIom every
ton Of stra9, obtained over five hundred pound )
OF fax cotton. which is as ssft and silky as the
beat specimens of sea island cotton, and of far
greater strength and durability and at cost
of less than elk cents Per pound. The great
mystery which seems to have been connected
with the manufacture Of fax, is swept away.
1t mixes and harmeDizes with wool or cotton,
aud can he as freely and finely spun as wool or
cotton. The Lockport Company have manu-
fsctured muslins and calcees, which have been
pronounced superior to cotton fabrics, and
having almSst the strength Of linen. They are
now so increasing their machinery as to enter
very largely into its manufacture.

re Character Of sstaraan,s Battle.

WAsHINGTON, Dec. IA special to the
Times says: Accounts received here Of yes
terdays battle at Fredericksburg leave no
question that it was the NEST terrific artillery
combat ever fought in the world. An officer
of high rank, who was witness OF the specta-
Gle, states that the nnmber Of pieces Of or
dnauc employed on hoth sides amounted to
several hundred, aud under such circumstances
il cannot be doubted that the list Of casuai
ties is very large. But little Of the battle
was actually seen, by reason Of the dense
smoke that enveloped the whole fed. 1t is
only known in general, that the Union forces
fought with all the odds immensely against
them, and that crowded into u narrow space
which gave the enemy's guns most deadly
effect, with deep river on one side and the
hostile !ortiiestions on the other, they niaiH-
tanned the uueaqael fgbt with unainching he
roism, till night closed upon the sceue and ter
inflated the terrible combat. At this point
the advantage on the whole rested with our
army.
The accounts which are permitted to reach
the public are meager ana confused, and the
result is differently estimated, as the witnesses
differ in temper and desire. Your correspOn-
equal opportunities for Judging. but whose
opinions are widely apart, aud has been able
to learn the general Information in possession
Of Government, and the conclusions of our
hignest military authorities, and he believes,
from careful collection Of the facts at hand
that the result, if not all that we can desire. is
still such as in no sense 10 justify the evil au-
guries which it las caused. Only portion
of our troops were engaged, or could be- for
want Of space. They are in the best Of spir-
it's and entirely confident Of saccess when the
battle shall be renewed. That it was not re-
newcd to-day, is probably owing to the near
approach of the reserves which can success
fully turn the enemy's left flank, and cooper
ate in victory, not only made certain, but
less bloody than could have resulted from u
continuance of operations on the front alone.
We may set down The action of Saturday as
reconnaissance in force, and confidently count,
if our troops can be so disposed that they can
generally be brought into action, on Il dscicive
success tomorrow. or whenever The strength
Of the army can be brought to bear on the en-
eny.
During the fighting on Friday at Fredericks-
bnrg Rev. Arthur b. Fuller chaplain of the
Sixteenth Massachusetts regiment and well
known as the army correspondent of the Bos-
Ion journal, got permission to take the mus
ket of a sick soldier and joiniug in charge,

iiy Of an eye witness, that during Fridays

tended for.
