HAvRE DE GRACE, July IL.
The testimony in regard to Gen. Frank |
lin seems to substantiate the fact of his |
capture, and passengers on the train, in |
gliding Mr.. Dreamer of Baltimore, for |
merly of the Herald, the conductor of the |
train says the cars were searched |
through for Franklin, the rebels evident |
ly knowing he was on board. The only |
indignity offered was q soldier exchang
ing hats with him.
PHILADELPHIA, July 10.
Manager Wilson of the American Tel |
eeraph Company in Baltimore, obtained
a squad of cavalry and went out last |
night and rebuilt the lines, thus re. open
ing telegraph communication between
that city and Washington.
Trains are now running regularly on
the railroad from Baltimore to Wash
ingten.
HAvRE DE GRACE, July u.
Mai Gen. Franklin was on board one
of the trains dressed in citizens clothes,
but was pointed out to Harry Gilmore
by lady on the train, and was made
prisoner.
A construction train left here this
morning to repair the line of the Amer
lean telegraph company, destroyed by
the rebels. Communication with Baltl
more will probably be re-established this
evening. Semi-o1icial intelligence has
been received here that yesterday after
noon fight was going on seven miles
from Washington.
Parties from Belaire, sixteen miles from
| here, report one thousand rebel cavalry
| at that point last evening.
A farmer named Hall shot rebel in
! retaliation for burning his house and
| destroying his farming utensils.
There is no doubt of an immediate ne
cessity for heavy achievements to
Washington.
After closing my dispatches last night
at Perryyille, crossed over this side Of
! the river, finding there was a strong
guard here, and no rebels supposed to
be in the vicinity. The Bush River
bridge was saved by the timely arrival
of the gunboat Tuschis, Acting Master
Street, who reached a point commanding
the bridge about noon. The enemy
shortly afterwards appeared in sight on
the hill, but retired on coming in range.
She had seven guns. The Lancaster
was at the Gunpowder bridge, where
the rebels were burning the train on the
bridge. =s
1t is apprehended that there is rebel
force in the vicinity of Conewingo bridge
ten miles north of Havre de Grace, on
the Susouehannah River. The bridge
will no doubt be fired if the rebels make
any demonstration.
Regarding the arrest of Gen. Franklin,
1t seems Gilmore recognized him, and po-
litely requested him to leave the car. He
then placed him in a buggy under
guard.
PHILADELPHIA, July 12--12 p. m
There are now only two government
wires working south Of this city to-
day.
Rumors prevail of an attack by l500C
rebels on the northern Notifications O
Washington, but they cannot be traced
to any reliable source,
There is much excitement in this city
and business is to a great extent sus
pended. ........... q
