THE WAR NEwS,

The news from Maryland IL encouraging
The Confederates, on the llth, were three
miles from Washington, and the same sc-
counts inform us that Lincoln and stanton
had ridden 10 the front. We should not he
surprised IL the mkt news was that they
had been captured. We await further ac-
counts with much interest. The Sixth
Corps, engaged at Monocacy, was uudoubt-
edly that OF Wright, sent from the front oil
Petersburg. II is known that they left for
Washia gton last Friday night, and another
corps took their departure the same night.
Thisfa shows that Grant has reduced his
army by sending portion OF Il away to de-
feEd Washington.
FROM PETERSBURG.
Nothing occurred yesterday beyond the
usual she!lipg. This is Grants amusement
white awaiting the result OF events In
Maryland. "Wednesday was ushered in by
heavy artillery firing upon our centre, to
which orr batteries replied promptly, Civ
Ing the enemy as gopd as he sent. The
picket firing and skirmishlng continued
about as usual, with little or no harm to
either side 1t Is siill prevalent impression
that the enemy contemplate an early de-
parture from the front of Petersburg; bnt
this is mere conf lecture, and not sustained
by official information. 1t Is true that two
Grsut may, aud probably will, stiil keep up
show CT force, Tor he will hardly hastily
abandon position from which be expects
such famous results.
IL is currently reported that Grant's hos
pi.ais are full to oveIhowing. The chief
sources of disease are the trenches ground
Petersburg. The water aud the heat ara al
hicting hundreds with diarrtpl, and as The
summer advances the milsma OF the
swamps and the unripe fruit Of the orchards
will continue to incraese the number.
THE CAVALRY FIaar ON TUESDAY
The fight on Tuesday at Reams's Station
was between Gen Fitz Lees cavalry and the
Yankee Gen Grsgg. The result. was, Veto
ry for liz and defeat for the enemy. We took
thirty-three prisoners and among themwere
two officers. The prisoners arrived last
evening by the Petersburg train. The
meanest looking among them was North
Carolina deserter, who, despite his blue uni
form, was recognized by former comrade
in Petersburg. He was separated from the
rest at the Provost Marshai's, aud came by
| cur office about dusk Ia charge OF detective
Xix.

| TOWN RFPoRTS.
| There were good many reports in the
| city yesterday about large "risings" of Tia
population in Maryland in favor of the Cou
| fsdsfstes. One had 1t that Ii, 900 Maryland
| eFs had joined the command of disiin
| guished fellow citizen Of theirs who accom-
panied our forces and another that 500
had enlisted under his command. AS Tia
"risiugs" in Maryland during former inya
sions OF our troops have not been Of yer
formidable or determined character, IL
more than likely that the present rumol
have their real foundation In the arder
desire of our people TO see the men OF tht
noble old State make a cooperative t fort
free her from Yankee bondage.
