WAR NEWS.
A BATTLE PENDING NEAR
ANTIETAM

wAsHrseros, August 7.-After
careful investigation Of the rumors,
and on inquiry at the military head
quarters in this city, it has been &C
eertained that there has been
no considerable contest fought in
the neighbcrhood of old Antietam
battle ground up to six O'Clock this
evening. = = - - ---> &
This is made certain by the fact
that we have telegraphic communica-
ton with ,Hagerstown, and that the
military operator there in his official
dispatches, addressed to these head
quarters during the day, do not even
refer to a rumor of q battle.
It is difficult to ascertain where
the rebels are posted, but the impress
sion among the military men here,
is that collision will take place near
Middletown, twelve miles from Fred
erick.
General Hunter has been suppressed
ed by General She idan,
General Couch has returned from
Petersburg, to headquarters in this
city. aseb ou .ara

WASHINGTON, August IA letter
from the Army of the Potomac, dated
Friday evening, says no changes
have thken place in the positions of
the two armies since the late battle.
There has been the usual picket
firing. Heavy firing was heard this
afternoon in the direction of the 10th
Corps. the report was circulated that
the enemy attempted to blow up a
fort in that vicinity, but were unsuc-
cessful. ~. s. ,--. -r
A rebel battery on the north side
of the JAMS River, has become very
annoying for day or two. Quite
an engagement took place this morn
ing, between it and our aunboats,
and it was finally forced tc .eave.--
The weather continues very warm.
and considerable sickness prevails
among the soldiers, who suffer from
diarrbea. -5
st. George Court house was wan
tonly set FIRE to and destroyed this
morning by some soldiers. .
~ The Hon. j. L. AZ. Curry, the
secession leader of Alabama says:
.-Should Lincoln be reelected, our

perhead echo to DIR. Curry, is:
s.Shouid Lincoln be re- elected, our
fond hopes will be dashed" Curry
and the copperheads are right.
