Especial Dispatchto The Cincinnati Gazette.1
WASHINGTON, July 5-G30P. M.-Unoffi-
cial news just received from Harper's Fer
ry, gives synopsis of events from the time
the fighting ceased at Martinsburg. This
point, it should be remembered, is in Vir-
ginia, some distance south of the Potomac,
and about twenty miles west Of Harper's
Ferry. Concluding that further response
was hopeless, and being deceived into be-
lieving that much larger number of his
men were disabled than was really the case,
Sigel decided to evacuate Martinsburg. He
started Saturday morning and went due
east till he struck the Potomac at Shep-
herdstown, where he crossed into Maryland,
closely followed by the rebels.
On Sunday the rebels overlook him, and
began attacking his rear-guard so vigor-
ously that he was compelled to halt and
form line of battle at Sharpsburg, on the
rebel side of the old Antietam battlefield
The fight continued here for some time, UNI
til Sigel again found it necessary to retreat
Turning South he passed through South
Mountain Gap and went straight for Har-
per's Ferry, the rebels still keeping close
at his heels. He reached Harper's Ferry
| on the Maryland aide, adistance Of about
four miles from Sharpsburg, yesterday
morning. For some reason not yet clear
he destroyed the great railroad bridge
which has 50 often been destroyed and :,
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-07-07

often rebuilt in this war, and even burnt
the trestle-work leading from the bridge
along the Virginia side, to the old armory
buildings. He then occupied the works on
the Maryland Heights, where his force
ought to be able to hold their position
against four times their forces. He was
last heard from at four this afternoon, when
the rebels were reported charging up the
hill to attack. We have taken no prisoners,
and are consequently in ignorance as to who
the rebel force are, where they came from,
or who commands. The best estimates of
their strength give them three thousand
cavalry and about seven thousand infantry.
Part the cavalry has gone to Hagerstown,
and rumors are that they are threatening
the Pennsylvania border. The excitement
in that part of Maryland is quite high, and
refugees are even leaving.

No news from Arkansas since Gen. Carr's
fight some days since. No arrivals from
White or Arkansas rivers the past two

and no anxiety is felt here for the safety of
his position.

pointed by Gen. Washburn is moving along

the entire loyal people, and many semi
Gen. Washbnrn's action. Col. Harris is

undoubtedly give satisfaction to all who
deserve it. Gen. Hatch has reported to
Gen. Washburn for duty. Weather hot.

The Rebels in Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-The Bulletin has
the following special dispatch:
HARRISBURG, July 6.-Gen. Couch has
just received a dispatch, which leaves us to
believe that our cavalry were forced out of
HagerstOwn to-day. The dispatch is dated
one o'clock this afternoon. The rebels have
only cavalry. Our troops are Concentrat-
ing at Chamhersburg and beyond.
The Governor will issue call for more
troops, in addition to the $4,000 called for
yesterday, so that the old troops in the de-
partment may be sent to the front.
The old Pennsylvania Reserves are flock
ing to the rescue.

Arrival OF fl,e Asia.

HALIFAX, July 6.-The Asia, from Queens
| town on the 26th, has arrived, with three
days later news.
The yacht Deerhound is charged with be-
ing mere tender to the Alabama. 1t is
rumored that Semmes will sail with anoth-
er pirate steamer in August.
The Conference met on Saturday and
| finally adjourned. 1t is stated that orders
have been issued by the English Govern.
ment to have ready all the equipments
necessary for thirty thousand troops.
Cotton quiet and unchanged. Bread
stuffs firmer, with a slight advance in all
qualities. Provisions firm and tendency
upward.
Favorable peace rumors yesterday caused
an improvement in stocks and consols.
The officers and seamen of the Alabama,
captured by the Kearsage, had been liberia
ted on parole at Cherbourg. A letter in
the Paris Patrie, states that Captain Semmes
has announced that on the 10Th of August
he will again embark on a new Alabama,
which will on that date be completed. The
seamen of the old Alabama will continue
to receive pay and form part of the crew
of the new cruiser. Rumor points to the
steamer Rappahannock, the ex-British war
vessel which stole away from Sheerncss to
Calais.
A committee, headed by Admiral Anson,
has been formed in London to raise, by
guinea subscription, a fund for the purchase
of a handsome sword to replace the one
which Captain Semmes sunk with his ship.
1t is reported that considerable sum has
also been raised in Liverpool for the same
object.
The London Daily News published an
account of the Kearsage and Alabama af-
fair, correcting false statements in regard
to the course pursued by the former. II is
charged that the Deerhound acted as sort
of tender to the Alabama, that Captain
Winslow would have secured the whole
of the officers and crew of the Alabama,
had he not placed too much confidence
in the honor of the owner of the yacht;
that he considered Capt. Semmes and others
who escaped as bound in honor to give
themselves up, and that he did not pursue
and fire upon the Deerhound because he
did not believe any one carrying the flag of
the royal yacht squadron would act so dis
honorably. The Daily News also publishes
a letter from Mr.. Stoddard, master of the
Kearsage, complaining that the Deerhound
was the consort of the Alabama.
LIVERPOOL, June 26-Cotton irregular
with decline of I'D, but American gen.
orally remained steady.
Breadstuffs firmer and all qualities slight
ly advanced. Flour firm with an advance
Of Cd per barrel. ...-.
Provisions firm with an upward tendency.

NASHlNGION, Ouly O.-lUc Navy De-
partment has received the following dis
patch:
U. S. STEAMER KEARsAGE,l
June 10th, 1864.
SIR have the honor to inform the De-
partment that the day subsequent to the
arrival of the Kearsage off this port on the
18th inst, received note from Captain
Semmes, begging that the Kearsage would
not depart, as he intended to fight her, and
would not delay her but day or two. Ac-
cording to the notice, the Alabama left the
port of Cherbourg this morning at about
4:30 o'clock. At 1920 A. M. we discovered
her steaming towards US. Fearing the
question of jurisdiction might arise, we
steamed to sea, until distance of six or
seven miles was obtained from the Cher
bourg breakwater, When we rounded to
and commenced steering for the Alabama
AS we approached her within about 1900
yards she opened fire, we receiving two OF
three broadsides before shot was returned
The action continued, the respective steam
ers making circle round and round at a
distance of about nine hundred yards from
each other. At the expiration of an hour
the Alabama struck, going down in about
twenty minutes afterwards and carrying
many persons with her.
1t affords me great qualification to an
nounco that all did thoir duty, exhibiting q
degree of GOODNESS which gave promise al
the outset of certain victory. a
have the honor to be, most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN A. WINsLow, Capt.
Hon. Gideon JVelleS, Secretary Navy.

From Harper,s Ferry.

BALTIMORE, July 6.-The mail train from
Sandy Hook, opposite Harper's Ferry, left
this morning as usual. Hunters forces are
rapidly arriving from the west, and will
doubtless soon confront the rebels. The en-
emy retain possession of the Virginia side
of Harper's Ferry. Sigel holds the opposite
nights. All indications seem to show that
the enemy's force does not exceed 5000 or
5000, and is plundering expedition.
10 BALTIMoRE, July g. Evening. - The
American has the following view of the
Situation: An intelligent agent arrived this
morning from the vicinity of Harper's
Ferry, and states thatit is now definitely
ascertained that the whole force of the en-
emy does not exceed 5000, of whom less
than one fourth arc cavalry and the balance
infantry. They are concentrating in and
around Harper's Ferry, and are sending out
them of their watches and money.
There was some skirmishing going on
between, our troops and the rebels across
the river, and occasionally shot and shell
were being thrown at them from the Mary
land Heights. .f sa. ID, es,asU
The fight Of Gen. Mulligan with the adj
vance of the rebels at Leetown, is spoken
of as most gallant He successfully re-
pulsed them several times.
Gen. Sigel moved towards Shepardstown
with his immense wagon train in 'front.' the
protection of which was deemed of more
Importance than the risking of general
engagement. Not wagon fell into the
enemy's hands, and nothing was left behind
at Martinsburg except some oats, which
were set on fire before he left. The i'm
preston when our informant left was that
the rebel force will retire before tomorrow
night, as Hunter will be In their rear by
that time, with an ample force to over
whelm them if they remain longer.
The principal object of this raid has
proved unsuccessful, unless 1t be the dam
age they have done to the railroad and canal,
the collection of conscripts and plumber OF
the inhabitants. They have not attempted
to leave the line of the Potomac, except to
rob stores at Point of Rocks and destroy
ing some canal boats at Hancock.
What damage has been done to the rail-
road has not vet been ascertained, though
it is understood that they have not retired
beyond Martinsburg. There is no truth In
the statement that a rebel force has been to
Boonsboro and Hagerstown, or that raid
has been made on the railroad west of Cum
berland. Gen. Wallace is cooperating with
Sigel and has secured entire protection 0l
the road as far as Frederick, which is now
safe. rigs 1clssor Wv 4N.adte

SwINDLED OUT OF HIS MoNEY.-A coun-
tryman from the neighborhood Of Grove
City, whose name we did not learn, but who
is well known to business men, including
Mr.. Wenger, came to the city with load of
produce yesterday, which he sold for one
hundred and fifteen dollars. In company
with friend, he walked about the city,
and was induced to 60 into one of the mu-
seums on High street to see wonderful
spotted mule. He saw the mule, and then
passed to a back room, where he was en-
ticed to throw dice for bogus jewelry,
temptingly displayed in case. The result
of the game was that he was swindled out
Of every cent of money he had, and went
home in desperate state of mind in regard
to his losses. tv A

THE CITY.
DARING ROBBERY.
A Man GarrOted on the Broad Street
2 Bridge ana Flung into the River
Miraculous Escape.

Night before last countryman named
u Woodstock, supposed to be from Paulding
county, followed a street-walker across the
Broad Street Bridge. On his return, about
twelve o'clock, he was met upon the foot
path by two stalwart rufflans who, without
further ceremony, proceeded to knock him
down and rob him of his valuables. The
rural gentleman was not devoid of pluck,
however, and recovering from his surprise
and the effect of the first blow, he fought
his assailants desperately and with one
blow knocked one of them down. Tha other
then seized him around the neck, in the gar
roting style, and his accomplice finished
the business Of relieving Woodstock of his
watch, and pocket-book containing about
forty dollars in greenbacks and several val
liable notes. Woodstock continued to re-
sist by kicking and striking as best he
could, and this so enraged the ruffians, that,
after robbing him they deliberately picked
him up, and with their combined strength
threw him over the railing into the river
He fell a distance Of forty feet, but fortu-
nately for him he struck the water head
first, and without sustaining any serious in
jury. Being good swimmer and pow
erful man, he struck out for dry land, and
reached the shore ON the west side, minus
hishat. He took the buggy track through
the bridge, but his assailants had disap-
peared as soon as he went down.
He landed at his hotel in dilapidated
condition, but declined to return to inves-
tigate the affair, and yesterday took an
early train for his home in Paulding, well
satisfied with one nights dissipation in the
Capital City. 1t is supposed that the wo-
man who enticed him from the path of
rectitude and the public highway, had
something to do with his robbery and mid
night baptism. .
