PARTICULARS OF THE BATTLE AT
THE MONOCACY ON SATURDAY


The Rebels too Badly cut up to Pursue
Fighting yesterday ia Howard and Car.
roll Counties.
BALTIMORE, July 1.-THE action of S,ltur-
day, between the Union forces, under General
Wallace, and the rebels, under General Early,
(Ewell's successor,) in command OF General
Stonewall Jackson's old corps, was one of
considerable Importance. d., s.....-.
The Union forces numbered about seven
thousand, consisting Of General Ricketts, dt.
vision OF the 9Th corps, the Maryland Home
Brigade, and some hundred days men, with
Alexanders battery, from Baltimore, together
with q number OF detachmsnts from different
commands. - 1850
The Confederates numbered about twenty
thousand men, and consisted OF General Brock
inridge's command, in conjunction with that OF
Early.
The rebels artfulIy concealed the true object
OF their invasion until the moment arriysS f..

manders were led to believe there were nothing
but cavalry: But Gen. Wallace on that eve

Monocacy, three miles southeast OF Frederick,
as the point most likely to be easily held. This
was most Important place, and he decided to
Gen. Wallace's line Of battle was formed
with the railroad running through his centre
The enemy advanced continuously, and Skin
| mishing commenced about OK O'Clock Satpf-
| day a. m, on the west side Of Monocacy river.
| ARTILLERY firing followed from Alexander's
| battery, which did good service In checking
| the enemy.s advance. TTUE -GIE4
| After several hours they disclosed their main
force and advanced in four lines OF battle, with
| steadiness, and were valanily met by our
| army, and especially by Ricketts, veterans OF
| the Sixth Corps, who are said to have exhibit
| ted great yalor in holding their ground against
| the heavy odds.
| The first line Of the enemy was driven back
| upon the second, but they had others behind,
| which were longer, and overlapped ours at
| several places. At 3 p. m. the superiority of
| the enemy in numbers and artillery became
| evident, and General Wallace ordered his
troops to retire, which they did, in good order,

| The losses in the action cannot as yet be
ascertained, but it is believed that those Of our

o., COLONEL SEWARD NOT A PRISONER,
The Secretary of State has received the FOL.
lowing dispatch from General Wallace:
ELLICoTT's MILLS, July 10.-Hon. ". II
Seward, Sscretaryof State: have the pleasure
of contradietlng my statement of last night.
Colonel Seward is not a prisoner, and am
now told is unhurt. He behaved with rare
Hallantry. Lew. WALLACE,
---.l - Major General Commanding.
Col. Seward came out of sick hospital at
fhe front to lead his regiment, which formed q
portion OF the division of troops detached from
Gen. Grants army. They arrived at Balt.
more on Friday, and, all the forces not being
up or ready for advancing, Col Seward pushed
on to Gen. Wallace with one battalion OF his
regiment, and was thus in time to be in the
battle Of the Monocacy.

The KyREf. ram

Not q few military men around Ms bellows
that the main body Of the rebel force with
which MAJOR General Wallace fought on Sat-
uYday last, are to-day recrossiug the Poto mao
with 90 much Of the plumber OF the people OF
Maryland as they may be able to carry OF.
The appearance OF their cavalry at 80 many
different and widely separated points during
the last twenty. four hours, indicates that they
came north OF the Potomac mainly to despoil
Maryland, designing to keep out Of the way OF
any considerable body OF our troops. Had
they designed attempting TO get into Washing
ton or Baltimore, they would hardly have
weakened themselves by sending a thousand
cavalry to hover at various points in and
Baltimore county so far from the cities as not
to be available In any general enga cement
they might get into. Our hope is that in their
intoxication over their success in plundering
the Maryland farmers, they may continue On
this side of the river for a few days longer.
Among their expectations was doubtless the
hope that Grant would move his army in this
direction, In the 'supposition that Its presence
might be necessary for the protection of Wash.
ington and Baltimore. In this they must be
sadly disappointed; for G.. Is pushing his ope.
rations before Petersburg with redoueled vigor,
taking due advantage of the absence Of the
considerable portion of Lees army, now or
yesterday in Maryland.
This body of rebels, even IL not overtaken
or intercepted by Union troops In sufficient
force to hold them, will not be able to return to
the vicinity Of Richmond until more than a
week after Grants army can be increased by
the addition of at least thirty thousand veteran
troops that have not yet served under him.
Under these circumstances the public may
look for great advantages to Grants operations
to grow out OF this forlorn hope Of the rebel
lion-the current effort to induce our author.
tiles to abandon the line OF the James river.
We believe that there Is no doubt that Sher-
man has crossed the Chattahoechie at two
points, from whence he can flank Atlanta, so
as, 1t is hoped, 1t m ust very shortly be surren-
dered after a battle, IL not abandoned without

ERRORS CoRRRCT4D.-The Republican Is in

He has been assigned to the command of a

in this military department. He is. however,
eficiently engaged in aiding to post the troops
in our front. AS he Is proverbially one ofths
best officers in our services. his presence here
just now is most fortunate for the cause.

The rebels appear to be feeling their way

The force now confronting Colonel Lowell

These troops are doubtless those that attacked
General Wallace, and after com pelling him to

up.
This, however, may not prove to be correct,
