the house, the deacon was q home doing
some work about the buildings. and while
thus employed he heard his youngest
child crying SO violently that he entered

while the two were .engagedin stilling the

child was quiet, she sat on his knee, and
while she sat there who should enter the

Deacon Wheeler said the parson,

Brethren and sisters said the deacon,
rising in all humiliation, and hanging his
head, Il did kiss Nancy!'
A terrible sensation in church. One or
two of the sisterssnearly faiuted with ex-

The Rebel Force Believed 10 he 30. 900
Strong sIsirmishing Near Maryland
Heights.
BALTIMORE, July 7, ll'45 A. M.-Tho city is
full Of rumors this morning OF an exciting chu-
racter in regard TO the invasion.
Alter a careful inquiry, with desire to sift out
the truth as far as possible with a view to avoid
acting the part of an alarmist on the one hand
by overstating, or encouraging a false security,
by undertaking the state of facts, send you the
following, which is believed TO be correct.
The most reliable intelligence from Maryland
Heights and the region beyond, this morning,
warrants the belief that the Rebel force now on
this side of the Potomac, and on the line Of the
river on the Virginia side is larger than at first
supposed. 1t is believed that the force is not far
short Of 1000.
Advices from Sandy Hook down TO 10 o'clock
this morning say that an officer from General
Sigels headquarters, Maryland Heights. reports
some skirmishing going on back of the Heights
but the number of the enemy there is small.
With the aid of the glass and signal corps, the
enemy can be observed towards Sharpsburg
driving off cattle, horses, &C., and plundering the
farmers in the valley. No large force, however,
is visible.
Advices from Greencaste, Pa, this morning
say that the Rebels occupy Hagerstown this
morning, but in what force is not known.
The train from Frederick is just in, and re-
ports that Colonel Coles Maryland Cavalry had
a skirmish with small Rebel force-a scouting
party-four miles west of Frederick, about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
1t was ascertained subsequently, that the force
was quite small.
The Rebel officers dined at noon at Hogap's
Mount House.
Later in the day two pieces Of Alexander's
Maryland battery, and detachment of the Sth
Illinois Cavalry, and Colonel Sedes Maryland
Cavalry went in pursuit Of the Rebels, and dur
ing last night drove force of leo Rebels through
Middletown.
Whilst in Middletown yesterday the Rebels
made good use Of their time by plundering the
citizens of their horses and other property.
Joshua Cormick, a stable.keeper was called
upon to deliver his horses. He refused and WAS
shot.
He is expected dead.
Active movements Of troops are going on,
which il is not proper for prudential reasons to
particuarize.
The railroad is still undisturbed as far as San.
dy Hook, opposite the town.
At last advices it was believed there was only
a small force of guerilas on the Virginia shore,
opposite Point of Rocks.
One o'clock, A. M.--The Rebels at the Perry
have destroyed all the railroad property there,
including the telegraph and ticket Office. So far
they have used no artillery against our force.

WASHINGTON, July THE star says We
have information direct from Hagerstown to the
effect that on Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
Rebel squad, consisting of fifteen cavalry men,
commanded by Lieutenant Sharer, formerly of
Martinsburg Va, entered that place. This force
appeared TO be a reconnoitrng party, and they had
only been in the town few minutes when de-
tachment of Regular Cavalry from Carlisle, Pa,
commanded by Lieutenant Mclean, dashed into
the place.
A brief fight Immediately ensued in the streets
Of Hagerstown, which resulted in the Rebels
being driven out of the town, with the loss of a
lieutenant and two privates, taken prisoners.
About half an hour after this fight the Rebels
again entered the town, their forces consisting of
cavalry and mounted infantry.
Lieutenant Colonel Mclean, of the onion
Cavalry, finding his force too small TO cope with
the larger number of Rebels, slowly fell back to
the Pennsylvania line, carrying with him his
prisoners.
The Rebels, after entering the town, set to
work to destroy the telegraph line, but they had
made no demonstration against the railroad when
our informant left.
They also plundered many of the stores, but
seem to have adopted different plan from the
one they pursued last summer, as they now
make no distinction between Rebel sympathlzers
and Unionists.
Many of the Rebel citizens of the town, per-
haps anticipating this treatment, ran their horses
into Pennsy ylvania.

THURSDAY, July 7.
The Stock Market for the past few days has
been weak, with but little animation. SO many
disturbing influences have been at work, thetthe
tendency has been 10 unsettle the minds, and
consequently limit the operations Of stock
dealers. The resignation Of Mr.. Chase together
with the exceeding tightness of money, with the
conflicting rumors from the seat of war, are still
influencing lower prices, which, together with
the raid on our border, may still further depress
local shares.
Our own opinion so often expressed In these
columns is still unchanged in regard to the
heavy decline at no distant day in az stocks;
prices have reached an abnormal height, the
spirit of speculation only sleeps but Is not dead.
Yet Its madness is destined to undergo a check
which will cause panics and universal trouble,
and until the Stock or Corn Exchanges have
passed through the fiery trials of a widespread
financial crisis, they will not learn the difference
between legitimate trade and the fever of specu-
lation, which requires terrible physic to cure.
The low-priced OIL and Mining shares are ex-
tremely dull Of the former there are few good
investments, such as Noble and Delamater, II the
large dividends are continued and OF the latter
constantly see such declines as in Alsace Iron,
switch has gradually fallen from 81 10 l, being
one of those bastards forced upon the Stock Rx-
change in times like these, to be fostered by the
foolish or unwary.
Reading sold this morning at 6e-yery dali.
In the Board the market was dull. Sales Of
Catawissa Preferred at 400. decline. Gold was
quoted this morning at 270. The gamblers may
fairly be said to have beaten the Government.
1t will be seen by an official advertisement in
another column that the balance OF the six per
cent loan of 1881 is withdrawn, and that the pro-
posals will be returned to the respective bidders
Jay Cooke & Co. notify the holders of small
7-3O United States Treasury Notes that they can
now be converted into bonds Of the Loan OF 1881,
