The Federal Forces Repulsed
Near Frederick, Md.

BALTIMORE, July Z, 9:45 P. M-There
can no longer be any doubt that Lee has
sent considerable portion of his army in
this direction.
The American has received the following

FREDERICK, Md, July About 10 o.
clock this morning, the Colonel of the 9th
Illinois cavalry with, 200 men and pieces
of Alexander's Baltimore Battery made a
reconnaissance to Middletown about 8
miles from Frederick, where they met the
enemy in strong force, Infantry, cavalry
and artillery. After a sharp fight our
force were repulsed and fell back on Fred
rick the enemy slowly pursuing.
A large number of stragglers are arriving
at Monocacy, and are sent at once to the
front by Gen. Wallace.
LATER-FREDRIcK July Eth, P. M.-The
enemy is now one milo from the town, on
the Hagerstown pike. All the sick and
government stores have been removed.

Point of Rocks on Monday. They made
another attempt to cross on Tuesday, bu,
were deprived by the appearance of some

guard the road leading to the river to pre-
vent the loyal citizens from communicating

cei7ed in this city yesterday from mem

enemy. -s0-' t&-t A>SA =. tf. .s.s
Notwithstanding the rebel raid in Mary
land and the distrust in state affairs al
shown by commercial men in the high price
of gold, there is reason to believe that
favorable military news will soon be made
known to the public. - st
| By the measures that have been taken tc
guard Pennsylvania, it is believed that the
rebels will not be in sufficient force to dc
any material damage.
Very good news is expected from Sher,
man-nothing less in fact than the capture
of Atlanta.
Military men here say with the loss OF
Kersaw Mountain the rebels cannot reason
ably hope to hold Atlanta, as there are no
positions beyond Chattahoochie at all
equal to those this side of it. Good news
also shortly expected from Grants army.
1t is believed that Petersburg will short.
ly be in our hands.
It is we'll understood that nothing the
rebels can do by way of the Shenandoah
Valley will induce Grant to send any por.
ton Of his army to the defence Of Wash.
ington.
Movements are now under way largely
reinforcing Grants army by veteran troops
from points of less vital importance than
Richmond.
The Heralds 9Th Corps Correspondent
dated July End, says:
To day witnessed one of the most ex
citing artillery battles of the war. After
two hours cannonading the rebel batteries
were completely silenced, and the gunners
driven from their places.
At P. NJ. the rebels opened again fu-
riously and soon the enemy's line of works
were enveloped in one continuous cloud Of
dust caused by our shells. The rebel gun
ners could be seen running to the rear for
places OF safety.
After two hours fighting every battery
was silenced. Our batteries have been
placed with great skill and care so that any
moment they can be concentrated on any
given point.
Our bombardment of the city is steadily
doing its work--numbers of buildings hav
ing already been destroyed.
The Tribune's Washington special says ;
Petersburg is now covered by over 100
guns, and were Grant to give the word
its destruction would be the work Of but
few hours.
A private letter off Charleston states
that rebel officers sent there have been
placed in comfortable quarters where rebel
shells most do fall.
The occasion Of the suspension Of habeas
corpus and martial law in Kentucky, is an
ticipated trouble in enforcing the draft and
particularly the enlistment of slaves
The Tribune correspondent off Texas
says Granite City and Wave, were captured
by the rebels, only after most persistent
defence. The pilot and boats crew of New
London were captured. Our killed and
wounded were about thirty-that of the
rebels above twenty.

A Cavalry Raid into Hagers.
town. -

WASHINGTON, July THE Star says
We have information direct from Hagers-
town, to the effect that on Tuesday after
noon, at o'clock, rebel squad consisting
of Is cavalrymen, commanded by Lieut..
Shorer, formerly of Martinsburg Va, enter
ed that place. This force appeared to be 8
accommodating party; and they had only
been in the town few moments, when a
detachment of our regular cavalry from
Carlisle, Pa, commanded by Lieut.. Mclean,
dashed into the place. A brief cavalry
fight Immediately ensued in the streets OF
Hagerstown; which resulted in the rebels
being driven out of the town, with a loss
ef one Lieutanant and 2 privates taken
prisoners.
About half an hour after this fight, the
rebels again entered the town, their force
consisting of cavalry and mounted infantry.
Lieutenant Mclean, Of the Union cavalry,
finding his force too small to cope with the
largo number of rebels, slowly fell back
to the Pennsylvania line, carrying with
him bis prisoners.
The rebels after entering town, set to
work to destroy the telegraph, but they
had made no demonstration against the
railroad when our informant left. They
also plundered many of the stores, and
seem to have adopted different plan from
the one they pursued last summer.
WASHINGTON, July THE Commercials

Regulations, by which loyal States can
recruit at the South, will be soon annoueed
There is DO authentic information here
of rebel force in Maryland. 1t is thought
