WASHINGTON, July 10.

ceded that the greater part Of the rebel
forces crossed to Virginia yesterday by Viii
son and Edwards Fords.
Our forces occupied Poolsville last night
The National Intelligencer understands
that Major Spencer Of the insurgent
forces lately demonstrating against Wosh-
,-S'"',, anhraced the opportunity before
they oecanped OF GuoEGsss-.ss tn one of our
citizens, who is relative OF opencers, a let
ter IN which he stated that the Confederates
crossed the Potomac for the purpose of OBJ
tanning horses and other supplies and that
having accomplished their purpose they
were on the march back to Virginia. Only
small portion Of these forces appeared IN
front OF Washington, while their comrades
were collecting booty for transportation

gone on another RAID.
The Commercial money article says
Fessenden has expressed himself favorable
towards an expedient suggested by Banks,
for avoiding the Inconvenience Of pay
ing subscriptions to the loan in legal tend
OF. The suggestion is that instead OF the
Secretary drawing directly upon the Banks
he should issue drafts upon the sub
Treasury which the Asst. Treasurer should
endorse payable at the Banks or at some
one designated Bank acting in behalf Of
the assd. Banks. The Banks hopes that
such checks would seldom be required to be
cashed although they would be subject TO
payment in greenbacks on presentation
that in most cases they would be simply
deposited without disturbing their funds.

WASHINGTON, July A.
Rebel columns have continued to re-
treat to wards upper Potomac Fords since
their abandonment of position held in
front of Washington, and some of their
forces are reported as having crossed into
Virginia, though indications this morning
were that the main army seemed disposed
to make stand between Rockville and
POolsville and either accept battle or
cover their crossing of their large quanti-
ties of supplies.
Our forces are in close pursuit.
Military authoritiessiihave information
that the enemy intended on Monday an
attack on the weakest point in our lines
in large force but abandoned it on uncx-
pectedly finding our veteran troops.

of men and very poorly defended by few
raw militia, and it is thought that the for
ces were ample to take the city.
Although orders read Harper's Ferry,
the belief was that the force would go
directly to Washington.
Washington was to have been attacked
on Sunday night, but was delayed till on
Monday, when Early received such infor-
nation as to make him abandon the at
tempt, causing great dissatisfaction among
his subordinate officers and men, who be-
lieved everything safe.
The Times Washington special SAYS =
Military men estimated the rebel force at
10000.
A Union scout announced to Secretary
Stanton that he slept the night before in

Yesterday Afternoons Report.
FROM WARITTFGTON.
WAsHINGToN, July IA

WASHINGTON, July IA.
A despatch received last nightannounces
that Shermans army is within six miles
ef Atlanta
Up to 10 o'clock it is not ascertained
that the rebels have recrossed the Potom-
ac though they had sent over most of
their plunder.
An extra says: Information is aecumu-
lating to strengthen the conclusion
that the rebel force was $4,000 strong, all
armed. They entered the country with "a
pieces Of cannon. Many Of their troops
were dismountsd caValrymen.
General Gilmore was this morning
thrown from his horse at the head Of
troops now following the rebels and Sc
verely injured in the ankle. Emery tenn
porarily takes his place.
1t is reported that the rebels yesterday
were crossing their main forces at Seneca
and opposite Poolsville, and their advance
was tn is morning along the roads in Lon
don leading in the direction of Ashby's
Gap. Cannonading was heard in the
neighborhood of Seneca early this morning.
Our cavalry has been harassing and an
| moving the rebel rear. No definite result
of operations has been received, nor Of the
number of prisoners that have been cap
tured.
Nothing is known here of the occupa-
ton of Petersburg by Grant nor have we
nv intelligence as to the intentions OF
Gen. Sheridan.
| Reports from the army of the Potomac
say the rebels have maneuvered their
troops in a manner which seems to augul
an attack on our rear. From last account:
Hills corps was moving around our leti
with the intention, say military men, of gel
ting in our rear.
Tuesday morning the rebels made s
demonstration on Jerusalem road, appar
emily for the purpose of attacking oul
troops, but being confronted by an ampl'
force, changed their design.
The Herald special says.-There are IL
all probability tonight no rebels IN tn
state Of Maryland. This morning tnei
rear guard was at Rockville and suticien
time since has elapsed to enable them t
safely recross the Potomac. Our troop
doubtless have reached the Ferry by thl
time and may have been in season to at
tack the enemy while crossing; but Of thi
nothing Is known. The first intlmatlol
the rebels received of the presence c
veteran troops was given them on Tuesda
evening by charge by part of the ct
corps at dark. Their wagon trains wer
started back in great haste, and citizen

New Marietta. Ga. Lnne 30 [


EDIToRs LEADER:
l think this is almost as hard allowance
of mail cut down for we never get any too
much of it. Ihave about concluded that
to pass away the time this P. NJ, l will
write to the S c. and then if we are
fortunate enough to receive a copy of the
paper in a week or two, We will have
huge time reading the letter, for no doubt
twill be very interesting tossus, coming
from the source that it does, for we have
great many warm friends in the G5th
and twill be as good as receiving letters
from home. We have been having very
hot weather here for few days, but now
we are having a beautiful shower, which
will interfere with my writing some, for
our shelter tents furnishes a very poor
protection when it rains hard. At least
it'would seem so from the movements of
the boys in camp, for as I sit upon my
own blanket to keep it dry, see others in
their cotton shantees, sitting on their
blankets and haversacks, with their pom
chos thrown over their shoulders, and
digging ditch around them, with a little
stick. After the ditch is completed, they
sit as happy and contented as need be un-
till the storm is over. And now every
thing is quiet, until the order comes to
draw rations This always causes a com
motion amoung the spirits The boys
are not generally very anxious to perform
extra duty, but when rations are to be
drawn, volunteers can generally be found,
for they think there may be a chance to
get their fingers in the sugar barrel, and
smuggle a small supply. The Commissary
Sergeant is a very popular man in a regi-
rneht. He has a great many friends so
long as there is a good supply of rations
on hand, but when the supply is limited
he receives as many curses as most of the
chaplains do. 1t is very pleasant since
the storm, but our hearts are sad as the
month of June closes and our little Regi-
ment musters twenty-six less than it did
on the last day of May. But the head
boards of those who have fallen, and team
/. of the others shall be witness IN future
years of their devotion to their country.
[ presume you have received accounts Of
the charge of the 9th before this. In it
we lost two Officers and eight men. We
were moro fortunate than most of the
Regiments engaged. Captain Williams o.
Mount Vernon was killed, and Lieuten
nant Colonel Whitbeek, of Beres was Sc
! riously wounded. This is the third wounC
that he has received. Stone River, Chicka
mauga and the charge of the 9th have Civ
en- him relics that he will not lose for life
Brigadier General Harker, formerly ou
Colonel, fell while gallantly waving hi
hat, cheering the boys to a renewal of tn
charge. He was an ambitious and worth.
officer and nobly won the star, which h
| so lately received and SO gallently resigned
in death. -.
Here come orders to move to the from
line, and letter writing must bo opostpone
for the present.

A portion Of Gen. Grants troops gave up
York River and were landing at White

Gloucester point.
The Examiner also thinks, Grant must
