REPORTS AND RUMORS.

NEW YORK, July PA Hagerstown dis
patch to the Herald, dated yesterday, says
"A fight commenced near Sharpsburg on FRI
dav at daylight, and continued till slx o'clock
in the evening, when Longstreet's division
evinced confusion, and the Federal army drove
them, pursuing several miles The engage
ment was brought on by Fitzpatrick, who, lind
inp the Confederates on Thursday too strong,
waited for infantry.
s'The battle was fought by only portion OF
the army. The Contederates fought steadily
at first, but wildly at last, as if their ammunl-
ton was expended The Federal cavalry and
artillery destroyed their pontoon bridge, to the
CONSERVATION Of the Confederates, as they
were about crossing. The Confederates evac-
uated the town at midnight; Lee, Longstreet,
and EWell being the last officers to leave. |
have reliable information that the Contederates
retreated to Williamport, where they hope to
make another stand There have been several
slight skirmishes on the Antietam creek
Gen. COUGHS forces are advancing.
A Middletown (Maryland) dispatch states,
from information derived from person who
has been in the Confederate lines at Funks-
town, that the Contederates are preparing
pieces to construct pontoons. The soldiers
expressed little hope of crossing the Potomac,
and were anxious about their supplies, not
having seen their trains for five days, and
were dlsheartened.
HARRISBURG, July ia special dispatch
states that Antietsm river is much swollen,
which has probably delayed Meade in attack
ing, The Federal army is more concentrated
and stronger than it was at Gettysburg. A dis
patch from headquarters says under date OF
10th inst, that the Federal army is within q
few miles Of the enemy.
1IcCoNNELsBURa, July IAN escaped
prisoner, who left the Confederate lines this
morning, arrived here this evening. He re-
ports that they were busily engaged terrifying
and preparing fo1 desperate resistance. Their
main line of works is about 3 mile this side

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
July Ito day our right wing gradually
pressed forward on the Boonsboro and Hagers-
town pike, and finally entered and ocu pied Ha-
gerstown, which we hold tonight. The Con-
federate force, which consisted principally Of
cavalry and two regiments Of infantry, made no
determined resistance. The Confederates fell
back towards " iliamsport, and Reconnaissance
report that they are throwing up Entertainments
within two miles Of HagerstoWn. The posi-
ton they now occupy is said to be Of great
strategic strength. Elsewhere al has been

At recent meeting of the Obstetrical soeie
y, in London, Dr.. Simpson described plan
Of administering chloroform which he has now
adopted in preference to that at present in
use. The present mode is to fold up hand
kerchief and pour into the hollow quantity
OF chloloform, and then hold ita distance from
the face, so as to admit Of atmospheric air be-
ing inhaled along with the vapor. The new
plan is TO lay single layer of handkerchief
over the face, and let the chloroform fall on it
drop by drop The advantages are these: /.
That there is less danger to the patient from
the small quantity applied at a time. 2. That
ansesthesia is more speedily produced. g.
That the quantity Of chloroform required ia
less.

SHEEP.-A scholar from New England In
the Senate wished an appropriation to enable
our envoy at Berlin to purchase and send home
a number Of Hydraulic rams to improve the
wool staplel During the discussion in execu-
tive session over the nomination Of the Com :
missioner of Agriculture, this same scholar, .
and nothing else, made objection to Mr.
Newton, on the ground that none other than
3 highly educated, scientific man; one who could
sfWrite book should be placed at the head
of SO important department. Whereupon
dry old codger, also from New England, said:
''NTr. President, am in favor Of the nomina-
ton of Isaac Newton, and shall give my vote
Denomination. Ihaye every reson to believe
that he is fully competent to discharge the du-
ties that may devolve upon him, because he
is a practical agriculturist and an honest man.
He may not be, it is true, SO much of q scholar
az some others, nor be master of the exact,
physical, or any other sciences. One thing,
however, may be said: he can teach our
farmers to improve the breeds Of sheep with
out calling to their aid hydraulic rams"
Mr.. Newton was confirmed almost unanimous

How .ay sne man oou,d couciev. i.
ide. Of an. exposition, against the Indians,
that rowing, desu'tory people. Organize d
after the forms and plans Of modern cam:
paign. is more than we can tell.
/: is no remarkable thing for \ scout O,
Indians to detach2 themselves from their
main body. march (single fle) thirty, OF
even forty niles in a night. and commit their
depreda'ions before their pursuers have ID.
ken their trail.
They live in the open 7air, sleep on tho
ground, and eat whatever their hands first
fall on when hungry. To conquer such /.
people requires force Of similar i3ehtine
|character-a force that can march thirty
miles day., camp on tho open prairies,
stake their horses near them, and let them
feed on grass. Dispense with Il: the pom:
derous luggage that invariably accompanies
armies in civilized. campaigns. =. ~
Gen. Sibley has been half . year fitting
out his expedition. He has 4 force Of about
four thousand men, train Of two hundred
wagons. and cattle enough to stock forty
farms. Besides this. hs has = pontoon train
with which to cross the rsviaes. Ut was
Originally intended to cross streams and riv-
ers w:th.) With this ponderous train he
meves At the whirlwind velocity Of eight or
ton miles day, and rests two days in each
week. -. ,A.s
The Indians laugh at him. run around
him, commit depredations on his right, on his
left and in his rear. but he is utterly unable
to catch or chastise them. His expedition
is failure from its own weight. The grea,
drouth has dried up all the streams, aud
burnt nr al the prairie to such an exten,
that it is impossible for him to proceed, and
he will be obliged to give it up. And vel
ne may, for he could never catch an Indian
in that style. The way to do it is to or
|ganize mounted infantry and cavalry expe
ditions, who should be expected to find
their living in the country over which they
80, instead Of cu,nbering their progress with
lit. We arc glad that the government has
discovered this fact At last. and are calling
for scouts and cavalry, which call is being
responded to. }a&-
