osnnietIns Rumor. OF Rebel Movements

HARRISBURG, July 12.-The gratifying intel
ligence was received to-day that Gen. Sullivan
Ia In Communication with Gen. sigel, who, Il
win be eremembered, is In command at Harper's
Ferry. If this connection can be opened, ad-
vantages will fow from 1t which caution for
bids me TO discuss In this dispatch. We have
another dispatch 70 the effect that sige's cav
airy were In Frederick yesterday. This lie,
however, questionable, as we have other in
formation stating that large forces were at
Boonsboro' and Middletown at the came time.
II this Intelligence is correct, It was utterly
impossible for any Federal force to maintain
Itself Al Frederick.
| From South Mountain the news Is Of re.
Liable character, and II is creditei here that the
rebels have fortified the rugged ranges In that
region. There are rumore that large force
of rebels, thirty eight thousand, had passed
through Frederick. Accompanying this force
were one hundred and forty field pieces, in ad-
ditlon to the forces reported TO have passed
through Frederick.
We have intelligence derived from rebel
officers. by persons living In that city, which
is Of highly important character. 1t purports
to give the fact that Hill's rps was approach.
ing, and that a junction was expected to be
made with the thirty thousand already alluded
| To near Leesburg.

RE EsTABLIsHED
\ Three wires Of the American telegraph line
were at work to New York last night. The
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Herald sent yoluminous dispatches over these
wires, the only press dispatches that were sent,
we believe.
The trains Of the Baltimore road resume their
trips to-day. The stories OF skedAddlers re-
spectlng the destruction Of the track prove to
have been unfounded. Not rail was torn up
nor O bridge destroyed.

the Government had the use OF the only wire

We learn that among the dispatches received
ere dark, was one from Memphis, stating that
Gen. Andrew jackson Smith had met and COM
pletely routed the rebel force under Forrest,
and that Forrest himself was killed In the en-
gagement.
Means are doubtless being taken today TO
verify the correctness of this inform alton,
which did not reach Memphis In the shape OF
an official account or report.

nounces the good news that Sherman's army
was then within six miles Of Atlanta.

DESTRUCTION or oUNPowDER BRIDes-MAns
PHILADELPHIA, July 11-6 p. NIT is now
ascertained that two trains were destroyed
upon the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more railroad. The engineers Of both escaped,
one of them, however, being fret robbed Of his
money and all his clothing except his shirt and
pants. The fireman was shot dead. The mail
on the early train was taken from the car before
the passengers, and divided among tho captors.
Nothing has been heard Of the express car, but,
| of course, the thieves did not overtake II. No
apprehensions need be felt In regard 10 the
regular train which left Philadelphia this morn.

hour, as they cannot 60 farther than this side
OF the suequehanna.
In connection with this report, we have q
rumor that the rebels are recroesing the Poto-
mac and reaching Virginia below Harper's
Ferry. There ls no doubt that the crossing al
this point is feint on the part Of the rebels In
Maryland to defeat any effort calculated to
affect conjunction with the approaching forces
under Hill.
A dispatch reached headquarters at s p. m,
that force OF 800 Federal cavalry dashed into
Frederick this afternoon, and drove the rebels
beyond the city; and that the latter, on being
heavily reinforced, returned and repulsed the

commercial fabric shall have been cleared aw ay

&c, &c, buying each years supply of Groceries
and Fabrics with the preceding years surplus
products; not with those OF the next year, as
has been too generally the case in the days
that are no more There is no good reason why
the farmer should sell his produce for any mans
promise to pay at some future period and no
better reason for his buying than for his selling
on credit His family should be taught to wear
their old clothes till he can pay for new, and to
DO without Tea, Coffee, and even Sugar, rather
than run in debt for them-though it can rarely
be necessary to do either. Two-thirds of those
who usually buy goods on credit, whether to
sell or to consume, would be benefited by the
systematic refusal of such credit; while one
third of the number whom the Credit System
lures into merchandising would be remitted TO
Productive Labor if Mercantile Credit were
unknown. Give Us good National Bankrupt
Law, and the wretchcd system of bloated
credits now collapsed can never be recon-
stnctcd-as il never ought TO be.
