TIE CASE OF DR.. GWINN.

The Republican, on Saturday last stated that
Dr. Stuart Gwinn, lateiy imprisoned in the Old
Capitol for alleged malteasance IN the discharge
of the trusts eonfided TO him by the Treasury
department, has been Internationally released,
and thereupon brings vehement and serious
charges OF outrageous maltreatment OF &. on
Inc part OF those (the officers of the Treasury
who caused his arrest and imprisonment. The
pnrport OF the statement OF the paper in aues-
flon Is mat Ir. Gwinn is wholly innocent Of
any wrong to the Government and that the
fact is broadly admitted by the authorities in
unoonditioE ally dischargng him from the Old
Capitol.
F.. Now, the truth is, DIR. Gwinn has mol ,,a.,
Internationally discharged. His wife came
here and satisfied the authorties-lst, that he
. had at one time been an inmate of an insane
asylum; I'd, that his longer incarceration in
thH old Capitol at this time might superinduce
second attack of insanity. Whereupon it
was judged best to release him on his agreeing
not to leave this city previous to appearing for
trial under the charges on which he was i'm
prisoned. He was not req uired TO give bail fol
his appearance, only because the Government
holds In ats own hands, an amount OF money
which il owes him, as large, quite, as any bail
that would have otherwise been required Of
him.

-~1ss.r@ss1 HUNDRED
OUR FORCES NOW ALL ON THIS SIDE OF
- THE RAPIDAN.

+. We learn from reliable parties arriving by
the train that reached washington at p. m
to-day, that the portion OF our army recently
engaged in demonstration, upon the front OF
the enemy on the south side Of the Rapidan
returned to their late quarters, between the
Rapidan and the Rappahannock, on Satur-
day night last, after having accomplished what
was believed to be the design OF the movement,
viz having ascertained that the enemy still
remain in his usual force in the positions in
front of Orange Court. House he has occupied
for some time past, and from which there had
been some reasons to believe he had retired.
In the course Of the movement, Gen. Hayes
division of our forces became engaged with the
enemy in overwhelming force and in strong
ly fortified position, in the vicinity of Morton's
Ford Gen. Hayes ordered their works to be
carried by storm, which was found inn
practicable without too great loss, I'M
der existing circumstances, where the
condition Of the roads would not, as at
present, admit of pushing TO legitimate result
any advantage heavy sacrifice OF men m'gn.
secure for us for the time being.
He accordingly withdrew his attacking force
with loss on our part of between two and
three hundred men, killed, wounded and miss
ing. The loss on the part of the enemy in this
engagement was not known at Culpeper up to
a. m. to-day.
A considerable portion Of our army, (all of
which had recrossed to this side of the Rapi-
dam were in line of battle last night. owing to
a report that Lee had crossed or was crossing
the river in force which report turns out to
have been untrue.
We lost no pontoons, as rumor had it this
morning.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
LATEST FROM THE FRONT.
The Demonstration Across the Rapidan.

Parties coming from the front represent that
We experienced considerable loss in the return
of our troops from the late demonstration. It
is stated that some of our pontoons were lost at
the Rapidan, whereby the enemy was enabled
TO pick up some of our men who had not re-
crossed also, that a rebel cavalry force, cross
ing above Morton's Ford intercepted q couple
OF regiments of ours, who were forced to cut
their way through, with some loss.
These reports, it should be added are not at
all definite, and have not,-up to noon to day
been confirmed by anything received at the
War Department. ~~.
LATER
Parties arriving from the front this forenoon
state that when our troops pushed across at
Germania Ford, they found the reble rifle
pits in that Immediate vicinity occupied by
but twenty-five pickets, who threw down
their arms and surrendered; stating that there
was no rebel force within ten miles of their
position.
Immediately thereafter our forces pushed
ahead In the direction OF Orange Court House,
but had hardly progressed two miles b. fore
they were opened on from twelve guns. At
tao king the rebel force working and supporting
these guns, we drove them from their position
with considerable loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners; our loss being 8 in the affair
The mass of our infantry then recrossed the
Rapidan, leaving force to hold the rifle pits
first taken, prot ably until the operations of
our cavalry, that had moved by different
route, had terminated.
Heavy firing is said to have been heard YES
terday, and it was believed about Culpeper
that our cavalry was then engaged with the
enemy il had been seeking
