largely reinforced and placed in molten,
1t is stated on reliable authority that
Lee-has no alternative but 70 deliver bait
tie or surrender.
About six hundred prisoners arrived
to day. This arrival according to state
ments of high officers swells the number
already reported to II, 800. These latter
were captured and forwarded by General
fitzpatrick.
Considerable cannonading has been
heard to-day in the direction Of Hagers-
town, but as no reports have as yet come
in it is believed to have been caused by
our cavalry attack on the enemys OutpOsts.
BALrIMoRE, July s.-The American's
special, dated Wednesday, noon, July 9Th,
says the position of the rebels ana their
condition has been definitely aseeTtainsd.
Their Infantry was drawn across from
Fawksburg, Nd, to Failing Waters, and
1 behind this line they are milking almost
superhuman exertions 70 get their trains of
artillery and ammunition across the river.
The best military authority here doubts, it
might almost say, is confident, they have
no pontoon bridges at Falling Waters
They are now crossing their horses on
boats, and leaving their wagons on this
side, probably intending TO take them to
pieces and carry them across on canal

The cavalry of Gen Pleasanton has been
operating with magnificent success during
the last three days. While the rebels were
retreatiDg we had cavalry in their front
and rear, and on both hanks. Its pre-
sence and bold dashes aided in increasing
the decentralization of the rebels, aud their
discipline has greatly relaxed. Among the
captures are Brig. Gems. Robinson and
Trimble.
The damage done the rebel trains by
the dasbes OF our rebel cavalry are almost
incredible. Everywhere they were cap
tured, cut of aud burned.
Gen. Fitzpatrick dashed into the middle
of EwelPs train and burned between 200
and 800 wagons, and ran of horses. To-

Our cavalry, 1 think KilpatriCk's divis-
ion, had a fight yesterday at Hagerstown,
with rebel division. Their position AT
one time was dangerous. but they got out
finally without serious loss. -.-l
Our army is moving steadily. If LesI
remains on this side of the river, there is
probability of another battle within the
next 4s hours.
The Herald's special from Frederick,
Md, on the 9th, says it is reliably reported
that our troops occupied HagerstOwn to-
day, after a fight. No particulars are
given. @
The enemy were transporting men across
the river in two hatboAts. Our artillery
had commenced Smelling them.
The rebel army is supposed TO be mo-
wing between Williamsport and Sharps-
burg. 1t Is generally thought there will
be decisive battle to- morrow or next day.
WAsHNGToE. July S.-Information re-
ceived to-night indicates that another bat |
tie is imminent at HagerstOwn. All pre- |
cautions have been taken to secure the |
capture of Lees army, which it is thought !
will be only question of time.
The rumor that Beauregaed was at Cul- |
pepper with 10000 men, is believed to be |
canArd.
