THB KUFnANIsM OF THE REBKLIlo

THR KUFFIANISM OF THR REBELLION.
Correspondence Of the New York Tribune
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Day by day the
rebels become more desperate and cruel.
They are no longer satisfied with casting
Union men in prison to starve and be de-
voured by vermin, but are brutally outrag-
ing defenceless women. More than dozen
ladies suspected of entertaining Union CEN
timents have been torn from their homes
and families, and thrown in Castle Thun-
der within the last three weeks. A few
weeks ago Mrs. Rice, Union lady of
Richmond, succeeded in getting North,
when it TRANSFERRED that she haa concealed
Col. Streight and o b. Union off GERS who
escaped from. the Libby. This led the rebel
authorities to believe that there were more
Of Mrs. Rice's stripe to be found, and de-
tectives were set to work to hunt them up.
Nearly all the ladies with whom Mrs Rice
was on terms of intimacy have been ar
rested and incarcerated. Gen. Winder
swore that he would be revenged for the
arrest of his, mother at the North few
weeks ago, and that every Union woman in
Richmond should suffer for it. It is TO be
hoped that Gen. Grant and the noble
armies under his command will not leave
these helpless women much longer at the
mercy of the rebel tyrants. Among the
ladies arrested was Mrs DevOe, residing
at No. 1l2 Franklin street, whose husband
has been for nearly three years in Europe.
She was dragged from her children, the
youngest only three and q half years of
age, and thrown in that dreadful sepll-
chre, Castle Thunder On the secord day
she W ant mad with grief, and on the third
day she died. p 1'-, .'i9

The sudden and terrible manner of the death
of Captain Engle has produced much gloom in
the staff Of General Schofeld. The Shell pass
ed just above the Generals head, and nearly
cut the Captain in two. He was riding next
behind General Schofeld. He spoke but the
words-"O, my God, am killed, and was
taken from his horse by two Others of the staff,
who were riding beside him. Captain Engle
was connected with the 18th Regular Infantry,
In which he had but lately received notice OF
his promotion. he belonged in Philadelphia,
and was, believe, relative of Commander
Engle, now, or late commandant at that Navy
Yard. He was very highly esteemed by al his
associates, and was an excellent and ethcient
officer,

Steamboat Accident.

ALBANY, Aug. 9.-As the Troy steam
boat, Vanderbilt, was coming up the river
this morning, just before daylight aud
when a short distance above the Kinder
hook upper light, she ran into a tow OF
canal boats, sinking three of them and
damaging her own bow so much that the
water was soon several inches deep in her
lower cabin. Her steam pumps were i'm
mediately set to work, but as the water
seemed to gain upon them 1t was found
necessary TO run her ashore, and it was
found that her hull had sustained addi-
tional injury thereby,
The steamer St. John, which was a short
distance behind her, ran along side and
took of her passengers. No enc on board
the Vanderbilt WAS injured or lost, but it
is reported that two brothers, who were
sleeping in the forecastle Of one of the ca
nal boats, were either killed or drowned.
A propeller and barge were sent from
this city this morning to bring up the
freight which sustained but little damage.

SPECIAL Army Dispatches.

NEW YORK, Aug. sth.-The Worlds
Washington special says the rebel move
ments on the Upper Potomac were feini
to cover the sending Of reinforcements to
Hood. 1t is supposed that not less than
10000 of Lees veterans were sent to At
lanta. Much apprehension is felt in the
matter.
The Hersld's Washington special says
Grant and staff have returned from the
Upper Potomac and started for City Point.
The Tribune's correspondent from Peters
burg, says the armies on the Potamac and
James rivers, we're never in better condi-
ton and important movements in progress
from which you may 5000 expect news.

H%RETUsED TO OBSERVE FAST DAY.-We
learn from members of the congregation,
who request US to give publicity to the
fact, that those who control the Gth Pres
byterian Church, in North Wheeling, de-
clined in any way to observe the last Ma
tional Fast Day appointed by the PreSi-
dent. Instead of recognizing the day, we
are informed the carpets of the Church
were thrown out in from of the building,
and men were engaged in working about
it, thus making their contempt for the &C.
casiOn prominent in the eyes of all. To
cay the very least of it, there was very lit
tie of the spirit of Christian piety in the
proceeding, and it is more shameful than
creditable to those who allowed or encour-
aged it.

The Invasion Panic subsiding.

4u6 4nEdblOu Eau1C SuDslu1uBs
NEW YoRK, Aug. "a special to the
World, dated Washington, 9Th, says:
The invasion panic has entirely subsi-
ded. Yesterday it was confidently believed
that q battle would take place upon the
old Sharpsburg ground, or that neighbor-
hood, but it is now believed that il the
rebels had any serious intentions they have
given them up on finding how large force
was ready to contest their march intd
Pennsylvania. With the recent changes
in the command in Maryland and the
present disposition Of our forces, it will
be impossible for the rebels to get as far
as the Pennsylvania line without desper-
ate battle, in which the odds would be
against them. A heavy cavalry force Jour
great want heretofore) is now concentrated
on the Upper Potomac, and instead Of the
rebel invasion Of PennsylvAnia the cOuu-
try will be more likely to hear Of the march
of q heavy Federal column down the
Shenandoah Valley. Gen. Wright's COM
mAnd at last accounts was at BOonsboro,
in the North Mountain Valley. The coun-
try may rest assured that the last invasion
is over for the present.
