Sinking of the Pirate AIaba ma

The alabama sailed from Chsrbourg,
France, on the morning of the 10th of June
expressly to engage the United States sloop,
of war, Kearsarge. The alabama it appears
was ordered out Of the harbor by the au.
thortles, on the protest of our Minister
The notorious Captain Semmes Of the 4la-
bama, finding that he must leave the port of
France. and face the KearSarge, which was
lying outside the harbor waiting for him, sent
a challenge to Captain Winslow, by way of
putting the best face on the matter, and on
the morning of the 10Th the alabama sailed
out to engage the Kearsarge, which sunk the
Rebel craft after an action of about an hour
British yacht was lying close by looking
on at the contest. and sent her boats III to
assist in picking up the crew of the pirate
craft. Among those picked up by her boats
was, of course, Captain Semmes who was
concealed in the bottom of the boat and by
that means taken on board the yacht and
released on shore. 1t was mistake in Cap
tain Winslow to allow any interference on
the part of the British boats under the pre-
tense of saving the crew of the pirate
Some English assistance has always been
near to give helping hand to this piratical
rebel craft. But it is qualification that
this crack Rebel craft, which has been the
British boast so long, has been sent to Davy
Jones Locker by Yankee sloop. of war,
directly under European eyes, with out the
loss Of a man on our side, there being only
three wounded on board the kcorsarge.

Letter from the Still District.

CoNowINGo, 9Th Dist, July ID, 1864.
Mr.. EoIToR.-Having a few leissre hours
this afternoon, owing to the welcome shower
which, at this time, promises to penetrate to
the roots OF corn, potatoes, &c, which has
Tor some time been much needed and wished
for by the farmers, have concluded to give
you some knowledge of the crops, improve
ments, &c, Of this your old native District
We are now in the midst of wheat harvest
having secured our hay crop, which has
been the best, in this locality, for many
years; and never, since my recollection, had
we better weather for it,--qute a contrast
from the hay harvest one year ago. Wheat
has been much injured by the winter and
the fly has devourcd some fields almost
entire, throughout the District. We may
compute the wheat crop at near one-half-
The oats, corn and potatoes promise we'll
also, the sugar cane. The latter has become
crop Of interest since the high price of
groceries.
Owing to the high price of lumber and
building material, there has been but little
done. Mccullough Il Co, have put up quite
respectable stone house at their mill. at
Rowlandsville, and I. Grubb is building n
frame house. By the wsy, it is rum ored we
are to have bridge across the Conowingo
Creek at Dorsey's Fording. | recolect,
some years ago, Of an effort being made to
get bridge at the same place. The result
was toot-log, which accommodated nearly
all the travel the road had at that day and
will venture to say it had double the travel
that 1t has to-day. Since the bridge at Con-
owingo has been built and depot for grain
established, no teams have occasion to use
the road, and never did, except chance
teams, returning from Port Deposit empty.
1t would be very nprudent in the Commits
sloners, to appropriate so much Of the coun.
tvs money, to purpose of so little value to
the community. Yours, truly,
CITIZEN OF STH DISTRICT,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1864-07-09


The late Rebel Raid on the Upper Pc.
tomac has afforded considerable amount
of food for the sensation press Not much
that was definite had been developed up to
tuesday morning at which time the Ameri.
can sums up the news as following:-
The movement of the Rebels on the
Upper Potomac is not yet sufficiently devel
oped to afford a reliable estimate either of
their force or intentions. So far as we.can
learn, there had not, up to yesterday after
noon, been any serious engagement between
the opposing forces. General Sigel still held
the Maryland Heights, and Gen. Wallace
was at Monocacy junction with a considera-
Bile force, guarding the railroad bridge there.
Gen. Hunter, with his veteran army corps,
is moving ea:tward by the railroad from
Parkersbnrg and Wheeling, and is by this
time probably near enough to distract the
enemy's attention from Gen. Sigel. There
was some skrmishing between the Rebel
cavalry and our own yesterday five or six
miles Dove Frederick, and it was reported
early IN the day that Frederick was occupied
by the Rebels. The report, however. proved
untounded. Tie Rebel force is variously
estimated at from six to forty thousand
We need scarcely say that we believe the
lower figure to be nearest the truth. So far
force has crossed the Potomac
''rhe latest dispatches from Hsrr;shnrp
confirm the occupation of Haperstown bv q
Rebel force, said to be Bradley Johnson, :
brigade Our cavalry had fallen back to
Greencastle. Heavy firing is also rcnorted
to have been heard from the direction NJ
Harpers Ferry
The latest information we can gain OF
tt,,D .lSu Al
the hepei rand INTO this State, places the
great degree, speculatiye-and that tho forco

with Gen. Lee IN chief command, Ronnre'
gard having hoen left Of patonshnr,, LILA
orahI IN check and that the Object of the
tcoels Is nov mere rald' put the gathering
l I crops, the capture OF Baltimore and
they can do. There has been some fighting
about Frederick, between the Rebels ad-
