as large as our entire loss. When the reb-

HAyRE DE GRACE, July 1.-THE force OF
the rebels which captured Magnolia, number
about two hundred. After capturing and
burning two trains and firing freight houses,
they started in a southerly direction, towards
Cadwallader's residence for the purpose OF
burning it, which has probably been accom-
pliShed before this.
The telegraph south of Magnolia, is badly
damaged, but it is not thought the road is in
jured to any great extent.
ARTILLERY firing has been heard since eight
o'clock this evening, in southwesterly di-
rection-perhaps at Brock river.
PHlLADELPHIA, July ll.-l0P. N.-Our
gunboatS have commenced firing on the reb-
els at Bush Hill, on Bush river. This Is the

here this morning went as far as PerrymanS-

went only to Wilmington. There was no
signs of rebels at the former place:

HARRISBURG, July ll.-Headquarte here
are no longer in communication with the
authorities at Washington. The Department
several days since telegraphed to General
Couch, investing him with ample power to
meet such contingency-thusi it is understood
here at least.
Bridges have been destroyed on the North
ern Central Railroad, between Monkton and
Cockeyesville,
A rebel deserter, who represents himself
to be a native of Indiana, states that the rebel
force invading the North is very large, and
that there are three brigades OF cavalry, and
Breckinridge's, Rhodes aud another division
of infantry. Their movements are kept 4
profound secret from the officers. The gen.
eral impression was, however, that the object
was to capture Baltimore and Washington.
The deserter says he belonged to the force
that drove Hunter from Lynchburg, after
which affair large reinforcementS arrived
from Richmond and marched northward.
Hunters force occupied Martinsburg and
another body of our troops held HagerStOwu.
The rebels still occupy South Mountain Pass,
while their main body demonstrates on Balti-
more and Washington from points between

captured and burned since Friday last, by

New YORK, July ll.-Mayor Gunther has
written letter to Major General Sanford,
protesting against his sending Oft any large
portion Of the city militia, as he entertains
grave apprehensions that their withdrawal
from the city, at time when the depreCia-
ton of the currency is drawing heavily on
the mass Of the population, might tempt the
lawless and evil disposed to avail themselves
of what would seem to them favorable op-
portunity for arson and plumber.
