4 letter from the Army of Potomac
informs us that First Lieut. Scudmore
one of the oHicere who escaped from Lib,
by Prison with Col. Streight and party
came into our lines last night, having
been on the way nineteen days. He had
intended to proceed by way of Gordons-
vile toward the Ohio River, thinking the
chances Of gettiug away in that direction
better than by the Peninsula, as he felt
certain Of being captured had he gone
the latter way.
After travelling twenty-five miles, his
knees failed him, and he was forced tc
lie in a mud d-hole, as he terms it, for nine
days y negro took care of him and be-
came his companion, and he resumed his
journey. At another time he was obliged
to lie concealed three days. He finally
reached the Rapidan on Saturday might
and crossed, passing within few PAGES
Of the Rebel pickets.
Lieut.. Scudamore says he saw no troops
near Richmond, nor did he find any a
dult white male inhabitants on his route
through the country. lie met only wo-
men, children and negroes. He repre-
sents Lees army as pretty strong, but nc
signs of activity were visible He was
captured near Rome, Ga, and had been
ten months in the Libby prison.

FROM ATLANTA.
The Fighting on FRIDAY.

Dispatches to the Government represent that
the fighting on Friday at Atlanta was very
heavy. The enemy, holding the largest part
Of the city, assaulted our works on Friday
with great fury. evidently expecting to drive
our forces out Of the city. The 18th corps,
commanded by Frank Blair, seemed to be the
special object of rebel wrath. as the enemy
massed againstit an overwhelming force The
18th received the shock calamity, and held its
own until Gen. Dodge, with the 10th CORDS
came up, when the rebels were hurled back
with great slaughter -e-s-.s-
Gen. Mcpherson was shot while reconnoi
terlng. He became separated from his staff for
a moment, when a rebel sharpshooter shot him
from an ambush.
The terrible struggle ended by repulsing the
enemy at every point on the line 1t was ar.
ranged that on Saturday the dead Of both ar
mics should be buried and the wounded re.
moved under flag Of truce.
The Union troops buried one thousand rebsls
left upon the field within our lines. Besides.
the rebels buried many Of their own dead near
their own works. -
Upon this basis it is estimated that the rebel
killed and wounded on Friday will exceed six
thousand.
Our loss will reach about 2 500 in killed and
wounded, the 18th corps suffering severely, for
the reason, named above, that the enemy
massed against it. 1t was this act of the
enemy, in part, that cost him such q heavy

Many OF these cases are Of parents seeking
TO get their sons discharged from military SER

PEELED in most such cases to refuse the apph-

of a young volunteer, seeking to get his son
exempted on the ground Of minor age. The
father was apparently Of the legal profession,
and upon being informed what were the
officiaI requirements governing such cases
he seemed inclined to contest the matter
argumentatively, having evidently set his heart
on carrying his point MIR. Stanton listened
good-humoredly until he was through, and
then answered him about as follows "You ad-
init that your son entered the army voluntari-
lyi that he is robust and well grown; is making
his mark as soldier, and is anxious to re-
main in the service. Now. why not give him a
chance2 Let him follow his bent. BY taking
him away you mortify him, thwart his Wishes
and make yourself his enemy. Let him 60 on
in the honorable career he has chosen, and you
make him your friend, and give him a chance
to distinguish himself in the service of his
country .#.-.sL
81 believe you are right, Mr. Stanton" said
the father; (more emphatically,) "You are right
My SON shall stay where he is"
This was but an episode in the transaction Of
weightier business, but we think it worth re-
cording, as giving juster idea than that
somewhat prevalent of Mr.. Stanton's mode of
dealing with his visitors.

IN THE HANDS OF THE RAIDERS


A week ago last Tuesday, while a BODY O,
rebels under command Of a lieutenant were
moving south along the eastern slope of the
Blue Ridge, they came upon Mr.. Kennel G.
Hamilton, OF Loudon county, who had taken
three horses to hide in the mountains near
Ashby's Gap, to secure them against the rebels.
and they appropriated his horses and took him
in custody also, and compelled him to 70 with
them. He was taken as tar as Cregars Vile,
and there managed to escape on one Of his own
horses and started again northward along the
west side of the mountain, he taking that route
as he considered it more secure than the Wav
in which he went.
At Thorntons Gap Mr.. H. met two 9TH or
parties, DIR. Creighton, of Martinsburg and
a Mr.. Diller, OF Williamsport, both OF Whom
had also escaped from the raiders, and were ON
their way home: Here, by accident, they saw
the approach Of another body of raiders, and
MIR. Hamilton, seeing no other means of get.
ting safely away, turned his horse loose, and
the trio took to the mountains, and by dill
gent watching succeeded in steering clear
of the Confederates until they arrived near
Ashby's crap on Wednesday morning last
when they saw eight guerrilias approa ch.
ing, and they managed to secrete them
guerrillas passed. They started again, but ha0
not proceeded one hundred yards when a soil.
tary guerrilla spied them and at once gave the
alarm, which caused the advanced BODY OF
eight to turn back and give chase. Hamilton
succeeded in escaping, but Diller and Creigh-
ton. it is supposed, were recaptured, as they
have not since been heard of. Mr.. Hamilton
saw no large force Of rebels except detached
bands, who were hurying South with plumber.
The party who captured him had wagon
loaded with grain, and one of the wagons con.
tanned quantity of whisky, of which article
the rebs made good use. Indeed it was their
excessive indulgence in the article that gave
Mr.; III an opportunity to escape Mr. II. saw
no mon force either going or returning. but
heard few shots fired shortly after he and

THE SCARE AT ROCKVILLE

The scare at Rockville ON Saturday was &C.
casioned by one Of our cavalry regiments
(Which had been in pursuit of the rebels) cross
ing the river at Edwards Ferry. Their horses
having become jaded by long marches, it was
found necessary to move along slowly, and the
citizens in the vicinity seeing the dust rising
thought that the rebels had again made their
appearance, and mounted their horses and
rode Off towards this city. As these farmers
passed through Rockville they gave the false
alarm, which had the effect Of closing all the
places of business in that village, and in a few
streets.
Officers attached to this cavalry regiment
report that the invaders lost a great deal of
their live stock in their retreat, owing to their
rapid marching in order to eyade their pur-
suers. The roads over which the rebels passed
are lined with dead cows, hogs and sheep,
which are supposed to have dropped down
from exhaustion.
