The Attack ON Harper's Ferry-The
President Calls ON Gov. Seymour
for ~ 1000 Militia TO Repel the In
Vadern.
PHILADELPHIA, July 5th.-The Bulletins
Harrisburg special dispatch of to-day, says
the rebels had not crossed the Potomac at
four o'clock this morning. The fears of the
people of the border counties had been some
what appeased, but there was considerable
alarm still existing. Over 1900 horses passed
through Gettysburg yesterday, owing to the
scare in that section.
An attack was made on Harper's Ferry,
yesterday morning (4th), by some 1000
cavalry and infantry. At last accounts
General Weber was making a sturdy resist
ance.
ALBANY, July 5th.-The President informs
Gov. Seymour that rebel force, estimated
at from 5000 to 10000, has invaded Mary
land, attacked Martinsburg and Harper's
Ferry, and was threatening other points
that the public safety requires call upon

BALTIMORE. July 5.-ReportS in regard to
the movements of the rebels are still contra
dictory. The telegraph operator at Hagers-
town, Maryland, yesterday afternoon, says
they are no nearer than Falling Waters and
Williamsport, where it is said fighting was
going on yesterday afternoon. The same ac-
count says there was fighting also at or near
Sharpsburg. Previous reports say Sigel had
been Joined by Mulligan, with force from
Leetown, where 4 battle had occurred on
Monday.
Nothing has been received at Harper's
Ferry from Sigel or Mulligan up to o'clock
this afternoon, which is accounted for by the
Hagerstown story Of their being engaged OPP
posite Shepardstown, to which point they
must have been followed by the rebels. The
excitement at Frederick, Maryland, contin-
ued. All the sick in the hospitals have been
sent to Annapolis. Government stores also
had been removed.
No reason is given for this movement from
Frederick, as no hostile forces were within
twenty miles of the place, except small
cavalry detachment near Point Of Rocks.
Hunter is stated to be moving with his
whole force to thwart the designs of the res-
els in their expedition.
The latest information is as follows: The
rebel force that visited Point Of Rocks yes
terday did not exceed one hundred. 1t Is
supposed they we're under Moseby. They
retired after committing all their robberieS.
The excitement at Frederick has, in great
measure, abated, and it is believed the Pro-
vost Guard of that place could protect the
city from all the rebels that had appeared in
the vicinity Of Point of Rocks. SigePs and
MulliSan's forces reached Maryland Heights
at nine o'clock last night. No doubts are
entertained of our forces being able success
fully to resist any attack of rebels on the
place.
Other reinforcements were on the way to
Maryland Heights. Weber, commanding
the post, has given notice to the people of
Harper's Ferry to leave, as he intends to
open his guns on the town to drive OF the
rebels, who are on the Virginia side of the
town, engaged in plundering. They ocea-
sionally send shell over TO this side. The
pontoons which crossed the river have been
successfully taken of, and the span of rail-
road bridge has been destroyed, to prevent
the rebels from crossing.
A dispatch from Cumberland to-day says
the rebel raid has been very destructive to
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. A number
of boats were burned, and teams captured.

NBw YORK, July 6th.-The Worlds special
from Washington, July 9Th says intelligence
from the Upper Potomac is confused and
vague. The citizens in Upper Maryland are
terribly frightened, and flying in every direc-
ton, with their property.
The danger thus far seems to be more APP
pretended than real, for the rebel command
has not occupied permanently any town on
the Maryland side of the Potomac. The
enemy is supposed to be part Of Ransom's
and Stuart's cavalry, with infantry from Ew-
ellis corps.
Private dispatches quote gold on July 9Th,
at 235G1240; on the 9th, at 245G246.
