Pn1LADELPn1A, Monday, July II, 10 p. m
"A train from here this morning went as FIJI
| as Pcrrysyille and then returned. The
twelve o'clock train went only to Whining
ton. There were no signs Of the rebels al
the former place, The return Of the trains
was merely precautionary. Our gpnboats
have commenced firing on the rebels at
Bush Hill, on the Bush river, the river near
est to Baltimore.
The second train was about passing over
Gunpowder Bridge when 1t backed out aud
was then captured -.
LArrR.-Our gunboats drove the rebels of
at Bush River and rccaptured one Of our en-
gines. There are yet some doubts Of the en-
tire destruction OF Gunpowder Bridge. There
is possibility Of telegraph communication
being reopened tonight with Baltimore.
HAvRE De GRACE, MD., July 18th, 9 P. m
About two hundred rebel cavalry
under command q Harry Gilmore.
appeared at Magnolia station, IS milea
south Of this point on the Philadelphia, VII.
mington and Baltimore Railroad, and cap.
tured the $50 H. m. passenger train from
Baltimore, by firing Tolley into it causing
the train to stop.
The 10 O'Clock express train from Balti-
more also shared the same fate.
Conductor Bryson Of the express train was
robbed Of his watch and money, as also was
the conductor Of the first train. The rebels
fired the tEalns, and also the freight house
at Magnolia, which were consumed.
Orc Of the trains was fred. The engineer
reversed and started towards Guupowder
Bridge for the purpose Of setting fire to that
structure. It is very probable that no dam.
age resulted to the bridge from the heavy
guards stationed there to protect it. The
passengers were not, as fur as learned, mo-
Tested only in few cnses. The rebels started
in southerIy direction towards Gen. Cad wal
lade1's residence, q few miles south, for the
purpose of destroying IT. This no douht has
been accomplished.
Passengers are arriving here in every kind
OF vehicle, and many on horseback.
4 battery and half, OF nine guns, from
the Philadelphia nary yard, arrived here to-
day, and one section proceeded to near Mag
nolia, where the rebels we're discovered In
force, causing the section to return. What
the future intentions Of the rebels of the
nelgbborhood are is Of course conjecture, but
the general impression is that they design to
retreat under cover Of the darkness.
The steam ferry.boat MARYLAND Is safe, and
the town and ferry are well defended by the
presence Of the gunboat Cupnetuck, whose
guns command the approach.
1nrr NJ nbr,er% >F%
from the Philadelphia navy gard, are here,
with other forces, and the country is ecour-d
BY scouts.
There ID no truth In the report OF the bnrn-
ing Of the Conomingo bridge, some ten miles
to the north, spanning the susquehanna
River.
The telegraph south of this point is badly
damaged, but 1t is not thought that the rail-
road is injured to any great extent.
Maj. Gen. Franklin was captured on one
Of the trains destroyed at Magnolia.
Gen. Gilmore avowed his intention Of 60
ing into Baltimore Tonight
ARTILLERY firing has been heard since p.
~, in southwest direction, perhaps at
Brisk River.
BALTIMORE, July I'LL r. M.-A rcspecsa-
bic citizen residing near Ktugyil1e, reports
this morning that party Of fifty rebel car
airy passed his house making for the Rail
road. They cut the telegraph on the turn
pike Us they passed. While going by the
house of Mr.. Day, an enthusiastic citizen
residing near Kingville, they noticed the
American flag flying and some Of them stop
ped to burn his barn. air, Day made no
resistance until they attempted to tear down
the flag, when he fired upon the rebels and
killed one of them. Mr.. Day has not since
been seen, and his fate Is % yet unknown.
The rebels are now operating on the Phils-
delphla Railroad, and 1t is expected that the
telegraph lines will soon he cut. Great ex-
citcment prevails here.
The citizens are armiug and going out
mounted to fight the rebels.
