SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The St. Louis
Democrat publishes long account Of the
conspiracy for the erection Of a Northwest
Confederacy. Sterling Price Ia Supreme
Commander. Vallandigham was made Su-
ureme Commander OF the Northern Section
while in Richmond. A meeting OF the
Grand Commanders of the different states
was held at New York on the 22d Of Feb
ruary, for the purpose Of organizing an out
break on the 10Th Of March, the day fixed
for the draft, but no definite plan was re-
solved upon. The same Commanders had a
convention with the Supreme Commander
at Windsor, Canada West, early in April, for
general consultation. Among those in at
tendance were McMasters, Of New York !;
Chas. L. Hunt, Of St. Louis; and Lafayette
Deylin of Indiana. The programme pro-
posed was that Vallandigham should repre-
sent his district in Ohio in the Democrats
National Convention and there proclaim the
doctrines Of the Order. Each Grand Com
mander was to have an armed body guard
at the Convention for the defense of Vail
landigham. This, it was thought, would
precipitate the people Of the Free States
into an armed conflict, which would be the
signal to the members Of the order to unite
against the lawful authorities, kill or capture
civil and military officers, seize all the arsen-
ais and arms, and public property Of all
kinda, and proclaim the Government over
thrown. The reason Of Vallandigham's sud-
den return to Ohio was the fear Of being de-
feated as delegate to the Chicago Conyen-
ton. Some OF the leading spirits in the
North had conference with Vallandigham
at the Clifton House, in Canada. Among
their names are W. B. Reed, of Philadel-
phia; Pendleton and Pugh, Of Ohio; KEEP
bern, Of st. Louis; Story and Merrick, Of
Chicago; which are published. The numeri-
cal strength Of the order is said to be con-
siderably over half million--one hundred
and fifty thousand Of whom are armed and
organized. The order in New York is called
the Mcclellan Minute Men," numbering
| over 100000.

New YoRK, July 27.-The Times Balti-
more correspondent says: No apprehen-
sion seems to be entertained that the rebels
| will demonstrate towards Washington or
Baltimore this time.
Gen. Crook says the force which attacked
| him near Winchester ON Sunday was greatly
superior to his. They showed front Of
four miles, overlapping him on both sides,
and could easily have annihilated him If he
had not retreated. Mulligan was killed in
the battles of Sunday.
| BALTIMORE, July 27.-The American says:
| There is no confirmation of the report that
the rebels have re-entered Martinsburg by
way of Sharpsburg or Sheppardstown, It is
hardly possible that Early will come in in that
direction, US he must be aware he will en-
counter some very different troops from the
broken down columns of Hunter.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The Commercial
says gentleman from Frederick City states
that there was much excitement at thatplace
on Monday and Tuesday. The government
had removed the stores and wounded, and the
inhabitants were preparing to leave. The en-
envy is known to be south Of Pea Ridge, and
it was,feared they would cross to Point of
Rocks, and push for Frederick.
CHICAGO, July 28.-We have nothing OF a
definite character concerning the rebel move
ments in the Shenandoh Valley. All that is
positively known is that serious battles oc-
Cured on Saturday and Sunday, in which the
Federals were empowered and compelled to
retreat to Harper'S Ferry and Williamsport,
removing all the Supplies across the Potomac
at the latter place. Our forces held Harper's
Ferry Tuesday night. Up to this time no
rebels had been seen in Maryland. The re-
port that Hills corpt had joined the rebel
force has not been confirmed.
New YoRK, July 2S.-The Commercials
special says: The War Department says the
raid is a humbug.
BAIrrxoRB, July 81, b P. M.-Harper's
Ferry is still in our handa; No attack on
that point yet. tli4e
a scout who left Martins5hrg at I o'clock
last night, reports heavy Skin FISHING at that
place. between Crooks forcesl I'D the -essls
under Breckenridge, on Monday. Up TO
o'clock in the afternoon our forces were fall
ing back to this side Of the Potomac at VIII
Transport.
The rebels evinced no intention of crossing,
and negroes and refugees from Washington
and other western counties are returning
home. It is believed that the object Of the
rebels is to keep our forces out Of the valley
while they gather the harvest.
Later reports assert that we have re-occu-
pied Martinsburg.
Wallace has issued orders for the immedi-
ate enrolment Of all able-bodied colored men
lin the city. He directs that they be forth
with organized into companies and regiments.
This force will constitute part Of the special
military force of the city. The Loyal Leag-
uers are also actively engaged in perfecting
military organizations. t
