FROM THE SHENANDOAH,
New ard Startling Rebel Move.
ment-FcsicraI Forces Driven
Dlci< with Loss.

WASHINGTON. July 26.
General Crook IS attacked by a rebel
force near Winchester, on Sunday. and
driven by way of Martinsburg to Williams
port. Maryland His old division had
been taken from him bv General Hunter.
and he had only militia troops in his
command.
General Hunter holds Harper's Ferry
with very strong force, and there are
no apprehensions that the enemy will
attempt to cross the Potomac.
LATER.
There are numerous sensational reports
relative to the recent movement of the reb-
els up the Shenandoah Valley. That they
hold Winchester AMI Montgomery is GER
tain. and 1t is quite probable that they have
a force in the neighborhooi of Harper
Ferry. The possession even of that point
wonid be Of very little value to them so
long as we hold Maryland Heights, oppo
site. So far as is known here at this wri-
ting there are no rebels across the river,
and no probability that there will be any.
The officers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad report it cut in two or three
places.
New York. Wednesday, July %
Special Washington dispatches say that
the re ell railing forces. under Early.
moved through the gaps on Sunday
morning into the Shenandoah Valley.
Here lie encountered the forces of Gener-
ais Aveilll AMI Crook, and also a part OF
the command of Hunter A battle took
place, in which the Union troops were
defeated and compelled to retreat. Gen.
Averill lost heavily.
The rebel force greatly outnumbcred
that of the Federals. Yesterday General
Early occupied Martin>burg. AMI al

No intelligence of their crossing into

The Republican extra says dispatches to
the Government represent that great
battle was fought in Atlanta on Friday.
resulting IN horrible slaughter and com
! pl,te repu!sc of the enemy at every point
The rebels. holding the largest part OF
! the city, assaulted our works on that dav
with great fury, evidently expecting to
drive our forces ont of the city. The 18th
Corps, Commanded by General Frank
Blair. seemed 20 be the special object OF
! rebe wrath. as they massed against it in
Owe. whelmine force. The 18th received
the shock CALAMITY and held its own until
General Dodge. with the 18th Corps. came
mp, when the rebels were hurled back with
great slaughter.
General Logan. at the head of the 18th
Corps. went into the battle with the rally
ing cry of "Remcmbcr Mcpherson" This
Corps. as well as Blair's. both constituting
the army under General McPherson--
fought desperately, the news of the death
OF their brave commander having been
communicated to them just before going
into battle.
Orr troops buried 1000 rebels left on
the field within our lines, besides which
the rebels buried many of their own dead
near their works. 1t is estimated the
rebel killed and wounded, on Friday, will
exceed 5000.
Our loss will reach about $500 in
killed and wounded. The 10Th Corps
suffered scvesely.
While the work of burying the dead and
removing the wounded was going on, on
Saturday. Shcrman's heavy artillery was
fplaying upon the city at the same time
Large fires were observed in different pats
OF Atlanta. supposed to be caused by the
destruction of supply depots and other
rebel property. which the enemy could not
carry off and dill not wish to fall into our
bands. This is considered evidence of
their intention to evacuate the place.
Several rebel Generals are reported to
be killed, bit their names are not yet given.
FROM NASHVILLE.
NASHVILLE. Mon'lay. July %.
Official news in from Atlanta is meagre.
but no, reyerses arc reported. Sherman
still maintains his position, and is vigor-
ously advancing.
Our losses in the recent battles will foot
up something less than 1000. We have
found over 1000 dead rebels, which with
the usual. proportion of wounded will
make their loss over 1000.
Our army is in good condition, and the
situation favorable. a p. t.sA8t

Turpie Nominated Tor Congress,

The Copperhead Convention which as.
semeied at Valparaiso on yesterday week
nominated that prince of Jlackguards,
Dave TugT lie, for Congress, req testing
him to resign his position on the State
ticket. to make the race against Speaker
ColIax. The vote on the first ballo,
stood: David Turpie LOT; Graham n
Fitch 10; A. L. Wheeler 1G. Fitch and
Wheeler both voted for Breckenridge in
1861. The latter has persistently oppo.
sed every measure Of the Government to
suppress the rebellion, rejoiced over every
defeat of our armies and mourned over
their victories. This is the kind OF a man
the copperheai delegates from this coun-
ty voted for.
The spirit of the Convention may be
/ judged by what is said Of it by CORES
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, who was
present: II have Travelled in most of the
seeded States since the ordinance of Sc.
cessioa was passed, and have conversed
with rebels innumerahie, male and female:
but in all my experience I have never seen
treason so out-spoken and defiant as in
the Copperheai Convention of the 9th
Congressional District OF the loyal State
of Indiana"
O. IL. Reeve. Of this place. we learn
from the same correspondent figured ex-
tensively in the convention. In one of his
diatribes he said he would oppose by all
means in his power the raising of men and
means to carry on this Infamous war for
the suppression of the rebellion. He ad.
-vocated in strong terms the right of seces-
sion, and said that the humbug Of Union
had exploded. 1t was a matter self-evi-
dent to bis mind that Union couli never
be restored by waging cruel and barba-
rous war.
The President ofthe Convention, P. NJ.
Kent. of White, was happy selection. =
