FROM BALTIMORE


The American has the following:
The city last night was full et exciting
runors of rebel movements in the Shenan-
doah Valley, together with vague accounts
of disaster 10 our force under Averill.-
Among the rum "a prevalent were the
deaths of Generals Kelley, Averin and
Colonel Mulligan.
Facts as far a aseertained are that Gen
eral Averill after his successful encounter
with Early forces, had pursued them to
the mouniains beyond Winchester, where
Early made stand, and after heavy fight
ing on Saturday and Sunday, the rebels IN
the meantime having been reinforced,
Averill was compelled TO full back to Har-
per's Ferry, bringing with him the forces at
Bunker Hill, aud causing also the evacua-
tion of Martinsburc.

we could obtain, are now concentrated at

force, but this can hardly be 50 beyond

It is probable they may again invade Mary

Secretary Seward arrived at Grants
headvuarters Saturday morning. His bu-
siness was not known. Ll
Cavalry officers Of much experience, who
were on duty between Washington and
Frederick, at the time Of the recent inva-
sion of Maryland, give it as their opinion
that the rebel force was abeut $4,000
strong.
They did not see that number, but judge
from an inspection OF the signs by which
the numbers Of an opposing force are al
ways estimated, and from comparison Of
that obtained in the entire neighborhOOd,
they are of opinion, that q considerable
portion came within a short distance Of
Washington, but not within range of the
guns of the forts. ~
The new Maryland invasion, paraded
by the city papers yesterdayso sensation
aily, turns out TO have been but the move
ment of our own troops, and the Prowling
about of some Of Mosby's gueTrillas.

Dispatches from Atlanta received by the
Government this evening, estimates our
losses in Fridays battle at about 3. 200, and
that of the rebels about 5000, about 500
dead rebels were buried in front Of our left
wing.
The fighting IS described as having been
terrific, the rebels making repeated char
ges with bayOnets, each time being repuls-
ed with much slaughter, and finally driven
into their Qualifications.
The rebels destroyed all their immense
depots OF provisions at Atlanta, and il is
believed were retreatiHg by way Of Macon,

The first item, a, s75 men, were enlisted
for three months only, and returned TO
their homes about the time of the first
battle of Bull Run. .t7ns1
The second item, 660,974, consists of the
troops stated by Secretary Cameron TO have
been enlisted for three years at the date
Of his report, December lst, 1861. As
these were enlisted from April to Decem-
Der 1861, their terms would be expiring
| from April to December Of the present
year. 1t is, perhaps, impossible to tell
how many of these original volunteers of
1861 are now in the service. Secretary
| Stanton, in his last report, says: "Sinee
1 the present rebellion commenced about
200, 600 soldiers, after entering the service,
have been discharged on surgeons certif-
Gates Of disability. 1t is probable that
one-half of them were unit for service
when received" Many more have return
ed home in consequence of honorable
wounds. Some have deserted, some are
in the invalid corps, and some sleep the
soldiers last sleep ON the many battle
fields of the war.
Under the Presid0atlSstwo calls Of July
lst 1862, flor nine months men, and Of
August 4th 1862 (for three years men)
there had been obtained up to December
lst ls62-the date of Stanton's report
but 400, 700 in all, of whom $1,000 were for
nine months and the remainder 332, 900,
for three years. The nine months troops
were of but temporary service to the army,
and the same is true of the militia call of
june 1863, for 10000 to repel the Penn
sylvania inyasion-nOne of whom were
under fire. For the month Of December
1862, we have no information at hand rel
ative to enlistments. l7e.a -aa.r-.
In his last report of December 5th, 1863,
Secretary Stanton shows that from Janua-
ry lst to November 1st 1869, in response
to the two calls-each for three hundred
thousand volunteers ,243 had volun-
teered for three years, and that the draft
had produced about one-ffth of the num-

NEW YoRK, July 20. -
The Commercials Washington special
says: The government is expecting a re-
turn Of: the rebel invaders, and has aude
preparations to prevent serious ineUrsion
into Maryland and Pennsylvania.
1t was believed that the plunder lately
obtained had been deposited in the Shen-
andoah to supply formidable force to be
sent northward. Others think this new
demonstration is only to detain the 9th
corps from Grant ......-..
II the opinion of Soli.itor Whitiny,
denying the exemption Of one hundred
days men, is adhered to, great dissatisfac-
tion will ar Use in Massachusetts, as Gov.
Andrew ordered proceedings under the
impression that those enlisting would not
be liable to draft until the expiration of
their term of service. aHts
From all information thus far obtained
it is believed that it will be found that the
rebel force at present in the valley. and
reported to be at Martinsburgh and ether
points is none other than the recent 5Orce
Of raiders, who finding that they were no
longer pursued by any large force sud-
denly turned and fell upon our small force
under General Crooks, with the object Of
driving them back beyond the Potomac,
and freeing the valley from federal troops,
so as to be enabled to gather the croops of
the valley for Lees army and doubtless
they propose at the same time to do all
the mischief they can north of the Poto-
mac, and perhaps attempt raid in the
southern counties of Pennsylvania. T..
1t is believed tonight that the wild
stories so extensively circulated here last
night and to-day, of disaster to our
forces eneountering the rebel advance
have little foundation. In fact the tele-
graph line is working west as far as Har-
pers Ferry, but is in the exclusive use OF
the military authorities. Teams are run
ming regularly to Frederick and Harper's
Ferry
