in the valley or on the Upper Potomac.
There is nothing definite. The opinion
is still entertained here that the essen
tial object of the rebel demonstration in
to gather the crops in the valley, and
that an invasion will not be seriously
attempted.
WASHINGTON, Aug I.
A gentleman who arrived here to-
night, and who has been in Hagerstown
for the past week, says that the rebel
force of cavalry which drove Coles cav
airy and portion of Hunters infantry
out of that town on Friday last Were the
greater part dressed in federal uniforms
A number Of families from Montgom-
cry county, Md, to-day came 20 Wash

the rebels We're approaching in that di-
rection. The farmers were evidently
frightened by seeing n cavalry force OF
our own, installing chem for rebels
There certainly were nc Indications Of
the approach of the enemy.
Recently rebel consclfption force Of

pressed into their service an persons ca

NEW York, Aug. 7.
The Baltimore American OF the 9th
says of the invasion:
The best that we can hope is that the
rebels will attempt to make serious
invasion of Maryland or Pennsylvania.
We have competent force in the proper
position to force from them on this side
of the Potomac a fair field fight. All
that we need is competent generalship
to make our forces available, and that
if we believe the reports reaching rs is
want that has at last been supplied.
1t is reported that Gen. Sheridan has

SIEGE OF PETERSBURG.
The Situation Unchanged.
Rebels Explode a Nine Under
Our Works.
BUT LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
WAsHINGToN. Aug 7,

WAsHrNGToN Aug7.
AdvlceS from the Army of the Poto-
mae report the situation at the front is
unchanged,
1t is generally believed that Gen.
Sheridan has been assigned to duty on
the Upper Potomac.
NEW YORK, Aug. T.
The Herald's Washington special says
that the rebels exploded a mine under
one of our works on Friday afternoon.
No particulars known beyond the fact
that little damage was done.
The Herald's Fifth corps correspon-
dent writing August 4th, says both ar
mics are active in their works, each con-
stantly Strengthening them.
According to the Petersburg papers
the rebels brought into action only two
brigades in repulsing our forces before
Petersburg. One brigade repulsed a
charge by our troops and the other fol-
lowed up the repulse with a charge and
and drove what of our men that could
get away back over the breastworks,
and made prisoners of all left behind
about one thousand besides the killed
and wounded
Letters from the Army of the Poto-
mac, dated Friday evening, say there is
no change in the position of the two ar
mics since the late battle. There has
been the usual picket firing on the CEN
ire of the line.
Heavy firing was heard this afternoon
in the direction of the Tenth corps and
a report circulated to the effect that the
enemy attempted to blow up fort in
that vicinity, but were unsuccessful.
A rebel battery on the North side of
the James River became very annoying
for day or two. Quite an engagement
took place this morning between it and
our gunboats, and it was finally forced
to Timber and leave.
The weather continues very warm and
considerable sickness prevails among
soldiers who suffer principally from di-
arrh9a
st. George Court House was set fire
to and destroyed this morning by some
soldiers

EDITION.


By the arrival of the Hospital Steamer
d. A January We learn that the military
situation in Tennessee is becoming some
what critical. On Friday afternoon 3
severe fight occurred about thirty miles
from Nashville, in which our forces, it is
said, gained an advantage.
From other sources, however, We learn
that Hood was gradually driving ia our
lines towards Nashville. We presume
Gen. Thomas will concentrate his forces
at that point, and 6ght pitched battle
for possession of the city.
We are grati6ed to be able TO state
that little fear is entertained but that
Gen. Thomas will maintain his position
He has been reinforced BY several thou
sand veteran troops, who have never
turned their backs upon the foe. Should
Gen. Hood meet with repulse, it will
be a difficult matter for him to get his
army safely across tie Tennessee river,
for our gunboats, if they are worth any
thing, ought TO close that avenue Of es-
cape We confess that we await further
particulars with some anxiety. The next
fash Of lightning may bring US an ae-
count Of a great battle.

A Richmond Item about
Sheridan.



NEw YoRK, Nov. 8.-Notwithssand
ing the anxiety nnmistAkabIy evinced
by the rebel authorities and newspa psrs
Of Richmond to conceal advices Of Sher.
mans movements, they cannot avoid
disclosing great deal in regard TO
them, bat probably not half they know.
We have all they were willing to tell ap
to last Friday.
An engagement, the Richmond papers
say, occurred last Wednesday on the
west side Of the oconee river, near
Toombsboro', where the Central Georgia
Railroad crosses the river, between the
rebels and large force Of Sherm an 5
cavalry, in which, Of course, the Union
troops we're repulsed. They ere said to
have been stilI on the wes. side of the
Oconee on she following day.
The Augusta Consfilutionalist says:
The railroad bridge over the river was
burned by them on last Sunday.
The report Of the burning of Mil.
ledgevills, is said by the Richmond edi-
tors 10 lack confirmation, though il il
believed that q portion of Sherman s
force bad been there. But, in the Sa-
vannah Meas, Of the 23d inst, dis
patch reiterates thatit was captured on
last Monday, and that the State House,
Governor mansion and Penitentiary
were burned, and that the town oI
Gordon was also captured BY the Yam
KEGS.
The Governors Of South Carolina and
Georgia have issued a proclaim alton
calling out ell the males of these States
between l6 and 55.
A correspondent Of the Richmond
Dispatch says the Yankee Government
can well afford to pay one million of dol
lars per day for the information which
the Richmond papers furnish to i
gratis, regarding the movements ol
