Division Of the 20th Corps had closed up on
Davis, so as 10 engage the enemy at that point.
Williams and ButeTfelds Divisions were on the
right Of Geary, with SchOheld swinging round
ON the Rebels extreme right, and were now
somewhat advanced beyond Culp's farm.
The programme Of the morning was, at eight

! WASHINGTON, July s, Noon Information has
been received hera to-day, which sets at rest the
question of the condition and character of the
Rebel force now operating in Western Maryland
which is deemed perfectly reliable.
The expedition is under command of 1ieuten-
ant General Jubal A. Farley, of Virginia. The
cavalry is commanded by Major- General Ransom
and Brigadier- General John Imbodeu. There age
some six regiments Of cavalry, including Major
Moseby's Battalion and Colonel Gilmore's Regi-
ment. Several batteries Of artillery and the Ca
det Corps Of the Virginia Military Institute form
part of the force.
The infantry division is under command of
Major General Pickett, and is composed of de-
tachments from Ewell's Corps, and the brigade
Of Brgadier- General John A. McCausland.
Generals Jones and Terry command brigades aud
General Lilly commands division. THE whole
force does not amount 70 fifteen thousand men
most Of whom are not veteran troops.
The object OF the raid is not TO get plunder
altogether, as the force has but a small wagon
train, and cannot hope to escape with any great
quantity of stores. The force will of corrse dis

Colonel Lowell has gone to Leesburg with a

General Augur has advanced force of infantry
TO support him. General Wallace will have as
many troops as he can handle at his disposal, and
General Couch will not be left with an inadequate
force. General Hunter is directing operations

WAsHINGTeN, June 8.--rhs Star says:--
Brigadier- General A. p. Howe, Chief OF Artil-
lery of the Department of Washington, has been
ordered TO the command Of our forces in front Of
the Rebel force that has entered Maryland, vice
General Sigel, who is ordered to report 70 Gen.
eral Hunter.
General Howe is an officer of great energy,
activity, and experience, and will prove very
valuable to the country in his new position. He
is in command there this morning. There 10 no
doubt we apprehend, that while the Rebel Gene
raj Early was yesterday preparing to attack our
LEFT, near Maryland Heights, his force was
vigorously attacked by portion OF Sigel's troops,
and so punished as to frustrate Ewell's plans for
the time being. He has thus more than he can
do successfully to defend himself
A Mr.. Richardson, refugee from Martinsburg
for now the fifth time, was in the city this morn
ing, having left Martinsburg on the evening Of,
July 4. He saw the Rebels enter at one O'Clock,
and reports the Rebel force that entered there at
not more than one thousand five hundred.
General Sigel held them at bay long enough TO
have all the rolling stock and property Of the
railroad sent of, and also all Government pro-
perty, and then fell back successfully. Such
Government property as could not be brought
away was burned. Our informant thinks the
Rebels at Martinsburg were commanded by
Imboden.

The Maryland RRid-Ehe Rebels Gone
from HarPeT's Ferry-lhe Railroad not
Seriously Damaged

FfEiousiy bHhhEeu
BALTIMORE, July 3, l p, N.-Advices from
Harper's Ferry, this morning, show that the
Rebels have left there.
The force in front Of Fred rick yesterday is
not believed TO have exceeded 200. The stories
told by the prisoners taken Of their having a
large force beyond South Mountain are most
probably, mere boasts intended to mislead US
At all events, very large force has as yet been
actually discovered by our scouts and recon-
noiring parties.
The spccisl dispatches sent from the city that
fifty or sixty miles Of the railroad had been de-
strOyed, is merely a sensational fiction.
The officers of the road assure me that, with
their facilities for obtaining information, which
certainly are quite equal to any other, they have
nothing 10 warrant any such statement.
On the contrary, all their information goes to
show that thus far very little damage has been
done to the road; that the enemy have been too
much engaged in getting plumber ~ devote much
attention to the road.
ECerainly the road is all right westward from a
point about ten miles west of Martinsburg, and
from Harper's Ferry east towards Baltimore.
Thus the Rebels have 50 far only held or ope-
rated on some twenty-five miles Of the road, on
which they have only destroyed the more unim-
portant bridges, which can be rebuilt In two or
three days
Gen. Hunter is supposed by this time to have
reached point not far west of Martinsburg, and
possibly has already struck a blow at the enemy
in the rear.
lhere Is no excitement here, as teegraphed
North Our people are confident and as cool as
the weather will permit
