gel 1t Aarper's Ferry.
BALTIMORE, Sunday Evening, July 3.-Rn.
mors have been circulating here alI day,
that large rebel force under Gen. Ewell had
attacked the Federal troops ut Mar,tnsburc,
and compelled the evacuation Of that place.
The following Information in regard to
the matter has been received at headquarters.
principally upon dispatches from Harper's
Ferry:
About daybrenlz this morning, Intelligence
reached headquarters at Martinsbnrg to the
effect that the rebels were approaching in
three separate columns, one by way of the
turnpike towards Shepardstown, another to-
wards Martfnsburg, not far from the line Of
the railroad, and the third west Of It.
It will be remembered the department is
that Of General Hunter, assisted by General
sigel, with Generals Kelly and Max Weber.
General Kelly's force is at Cumberland,
WheEe no alarm or excitement exists.
General slgel, on receiving this informa-
tton, at once proposed to check the approach
Of the enemy. In order that no movable
property should be destroyed, his troops
were drawn up, and at s o'clock fighting
commencedi in the nefghhorhood OF Bunker
Hill, and continued four or five hours, during
which his cavalry fell slowly back to his In
fantry supports.
Ascertaining that the force Of the enemy
was 1argely superior to his own, General
Sigel determined to evacnate Martlnsburg,
which Was accomplished In good order.
He tclegrnphed the Baltimore d Ohio rail-
road company here as to the state Of 'afrairs
and that all their trains and othar moYeable
property we're safely moved away.
Some heavy trims filed with supplies for
Hunter We're also taken to q place Of safety.
a force Of the enemy also came by the way
Of North Mountain, with view 10 doubt Of
danking cur forces, but III this they were dis
appointed
LATEST,
4 dispatch received at o'clock this even
ing states that fighting has been going on all
day near LeetoWn, about 10 miles from Har-
peTs Ferry, between force Of the enemy
moving in the direction Of 6hepardstoWn
pike and the command which Sigel had left
there to occupy that place. Both the forces
engaged were small, aud it ia officially IT,
ported that our troops repelled them sue
cessfully.
All freight and passenger trainB On the B.
g. 0. 4. R. from the west were worked sue-
cessfnlly through last night, but no express
train for the west left Baltimore this even
ing.
At Inst accounts. no injury was done the
road Or bridges. It is supposed the invading
force is the same which was sent aga1nst

Captain Randols and LieEt Dennison s
batteries were ordered into position, and ut
such short rnnge as to pour canister directly
into the rebel ranks. Right gallantly did
these officers and their assistants perform
their work. The effect Was moncntary cou-
fusion and great mortality. In this nay,
from one position to another, did Gregg con-
ttnue to fight this vastly superior force for
four or five hours {from 2 P: N. till night }
His last position was admirably chosen near
Hope~c1l church, where his batteries made
the most fearful havoc In the enemy ranks.
kandol and Dennison here remained at their
posts till their last ronnd Of canister was ex-
pended, and when Denaison, With Licuteu-
ants Calcf Cameron aud Litt1eteld Iimbered
up to withdraw, the rebels were chsrging
upon their pieces only seyen to eight rods
distant The bravc men Of Davies brigade,
however, threw themselves upon them. and,
holding them at bay, protected their gans,
The Toe, d]gpirited and chopfallen at their
lack Of success, now gave up the pursuit,

reported to hare taken place within the last
week BY the raging Of extensive fires In the

be resorted to. Thousands OF cords Of are-
