WAsAINcToN, July lo.-Travelers from

the Philadelphia and Wilmington railroad,
which is accessible to gunboats. Secretary
Wells has done his duty to the public inter

Gen. Gilmore, who was sent for by the

will be Immediately assigned TO active com
mand in the field.

from Rockville, Maryland, sixteen miles
north Of Washington, say early this morn
ing a rebel cavalry force, four or five hun
drcd strong, dashed into Jamestown, n
small hamlet five or six miles north of Rock
vile, and after plundering stores and steal
ing all the cattle and horses they could find,
left in the direction Of Frederick; but before
they left they sent to the Virginia side all
their plumber. People who came from the
upper fords report the rebels conveying
large numbers of cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep, stolen from farmers along the river,
across into Virginia; that every ford is held
by small cavalry force and sections of bat
tcrics 1t is estimated they had already
carried off several thousand head of cattle,
and f..om eight to ten thousand valuable
horses. Ine rebels plundercd indiscrimi-

Faxes on Everything.

We have heretofore printed the Internal
Tax Bill, passed near the close of the re-
cent session of Congress, by which enor-
nous taxes are levied on every domestic
article OF consumption and use--taxes more
general, searching and onerolis than. the
tax-riddcn people of Great Britain have
ever known. We now print on the out
side of this Sheet the Tariff Bill also pas
scd near the close of the recent session, by
which every article OF foreign importation
is taxed to the last extremity it will bear,
and many such articles prohibitaiily taxed
for the especial benefit of Now England and
at the cost of the West Indeed, both the
Tax and Tariff Bills are framed throughout
with the most tender regard for New Eng
land and the most careless unconcern for
the manner in which they affected the
West Both bills are the legitimate and
necessary consequence Of the triumph OF
aboltionism in the election of Mr.. Lincoln,
and hard as is their infection, they will &c

the war needlessly precipitated three year,

raiy They are permanent. They will af
fiict ourselves; our children, and our chill
drcn' ; children indefinitely. Our countr,
will be tax-riddcn, beyond any other coun
try for generations to come. And all thi,
the fruit Of abolitionism. All this flowing
from the election Of Abraham Lincoln.

BALTIMORE, July 10th, 5 L. M.-Thc
Northern Central Railroad has been cu,

Ashland Works A rebel cavalry force,
estimated at fifteen hundred strong, proba-
bly, exaggerated, crossed the Northern
Central Railroad above Cockcyevil!e this
forenoon, and are going toward the Phla-
delphla road.
They expected to reach there before night
and cut that road or destroy one of the
bridges, but it is hoped that the force now
guarding the road in that direction will be
strong enough to drive the raiders Off
There are many wild rumors again aAoat

ing, and there is less excitement.
Among the rumors just started is one
that a portion of the rebel force which en-
gagged Gen. Wallace yesterday, have struck
the Washington road near Laurel Factory;
but this, | think is incorrect. At all events
the telegraph line to Washington is, as yet,
uninterrupted, and it is believed our troops
are in such position by this time as to eff
iectively protect our communication with
Washington,

Of Major Forbes, went up in the vicinity OF

off in pursuit at midnight with two hun

and Captain McPhcrson, Of the 10th New

they proceeded to Aldie, where they found
twenty-five wounded men and eleven dead,
whom they buried. They secured the coun-

Lincoln has issued proclamation declar
ing Kentucky under martial law This i,
an insult to the devoted and patriotic Unor
men Of that State. Almost alone she drove
out the Morgan raiders, and she has sent
in proportion 10 her population, and in ad
dJ.ion to her organized militia, as many
to the var rs any other State. The pur-
pose Of thi, proclamation is to facilitate the
stealing Of negroes which i, now going on
there undor Mr. LincoIns orders, and to
over awe the an,i-Liucoln voters at the
next election. The first plan may succeed.
The last will fail wrctchcdIy. Crossed bay

NEAR New MARKET, ON RETREAT, |
July 80 Il. NJ.
As stated in my last dispatch, General
Wallace evacuated Frederick late yesterday
evening, and fell back to the Junction,
where it was determined to make stand.
AT daybreak this morning the rebels en-
tered the city in force About eight o. clock
General Wallace formed his forces, COM
posed of two brigades, in line of battle on
the east bank Of the Monocacy river A
skirmish line, composed OF two Ohio regi-
ments, was thrown along the railroad on
the west side Of the river, to within half Il
mile Of Frederick AT clock the rebels
moved down the western pike and attacked
the skirmish line, which fell back slowly
before the advancing column, and Joined
our main line, after contesting every foot OF
ground. At nine o'clock the enemy attack
ed our main line with infantry and two OF
three batteries. They made three distinct
charges, and were as often compelled to
fall back. a eleven clock it was discov-
cred large body Of rebels had crossed the
Monocacy two miles below, and were COM
ing up on our left flank, and it was now felt
to be impossible to hold out longer against
such superior numbers, and orders were Civ
en- to fall back slowly in the direction of New
Market, on the Baltimore pike As soon
as the enemy discovered we were retreat
ing, they rushed over the Monocacy rail
road bridge and succeeded in throwing ouI
! lines into utter confusion.
General Tyler was taken prisoner here.
| Our retreat now became somewhat precipi
tate For three miles the enemy pressed
us hard, but after this nothing but smal
body of their cavalry continued the pursuit
and even this has now ceased. 1t is i'm.
possible to give q true estimate of our loss
but 1t cannot fall much short of thousand
men, mostly prisoners. In killed and woun.
dcd the enemy's loss was no doubt greater
than our own. The lowest estimate ] have
heard placed on the enemy force is lO, 900
1t may be wondered why Gen. Wallace per.
mittcd himself to be drawn into a fight al
such disadvantage. but it must be rcmem
bered that up to the very hour when tn,
tight began, no one suspected so large a rcb
