FROM THE FRONT.

Responsible gentlemen who arrived here from
the front this afternoon, state that Lee was In
battle array on the old Bull Run field on satur-
day last, and that on Sunday morning 10 had
disappeared. Lee made several attempts to
flank Meade and to get into his rear, but In
every Instance the rebel chisftaln was defeated.
There are rumors again to-day that 9 por-
tion Of Lees forces have crossed the river Into
Maryland, at Point of Rocks, and these rumors
are coupled with highly responsible names,
but We have no information confirming them
and We do not believe them, for reasons which
We do not care to state at this time.
Gss. sickles arrived In from the front this
afternoon, not feeling able to Join In the pur.
suit Of the flying Lee. Gen. sickles was enthu.
siastically received by the ofhcers and men Of
his gallant corps. He reviewed his whole
command, mounted and rode into town to-day
upon his favorte war steed. The general Is In
fine health. -.

his health has been SO poorly as TO warrant his

prevailed upon to do SO, and we ere glad TO OBJ

Important Intelligence was received in this
city last evening from Harper's Ferry, In 70.
gard to military affairs In the Shenandoah VAL
Icy. The following Is the substance Of the
facts as far as received; .a
The Confederstes In force, vsriously estima.
ted at from $500 10 2,5OO, attacked the Federal
forces Al Charlestown about daylight yesterday
morning. The latter force consisted of siI
companiss Of the Ninth Maryland infantry,
under Col. Simpson, and Major Coles Mary
land cavalry. Aiter spirited engagement the
Federal forces were overpowercd BY numbers,
and the larger portion Of the infantry were
captured, including Col. Slmpson.
Major Cole, with nearly aiI his cavalry, Gu,
his way through The confederate lines, and sue
ceeied In reaching Harper's Ferry, where b
reported the state Of afairs to General j, o.
Sullivan, OF Indiana, commander Of the forces
at that point. General 9, Immediately ordered
Major Cole TO return toward Charlestown, b,
following with the infantry and artillery forces
shortly after 10 o'clock, Gen. Sullivan 70
occupied Charlestown In force, the Confeder
ates having retreated south towards Berryville
Mai. Cole continued In pursuit Of them, botl
with artillery and cavalry, and about o'clocl
an engagement took place between the force
near berryviiie. Its magnitude or positive re
suits were not stated, except that the Confed
crates continued their retreat. still pursued b!
the Federal troops. n. '.rlEs ~ lHr
1t was thought probable that number of tn
captured men Of the Ninth Maryland had al
ready escaped, and there was strong probabil
ity that all Of the remainder would be recap
tured. Company Of that regiment was Q
Duiheld's station, on the Baltimore and OH
railroad, and consequently escaped capture
The quick movements Of Gen. Sullivan ha
doubtless ere this redeemed the disaster TO tn
Ninth Maryland, by either recsptaring or al
fording them an opportunity for escape. i'',
Gen. kelley's and Gen. Sulliyan's scouts n
port no indication OF q movement OF the Cor

On the first page Of our first edition 10 day Is an
article from the Liverpool Poa, called forth by
the Presidents note to Mr.. Hackett, which found
Its way into print recently. The article, taken In
connection with others that have lately appeared
In foreign journals, is significant Of the fact
thst our President Is regarded abroad as the
central figure In the Administration at the pres
ent juncture. Surrounded by statesmen who
possess ability, energy, and ambition, he stands
foremost OF all.
This recognition Of our President by able aud
impartial observers abroad is only the reflex Of
the true sentiment OF the people at home, that
our hopes may safely rest In him through all
our troubles, and cur confidence may safely
repose In him TO the last In all the vicissi
tudes of The rebellion the enemies of Mr.. Lin
coin have never succeeded In shaking this con
adence, and In spite Of oil their efforts, respect
for his character is steadily increasing will
