when our troops overcome the rebels in

THE VERY LATEST.
GEN. HUNTERS COMMAND.
REPORTS GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
GENERAL AVERILL AT WILL
LIAMsPoRT, MARYLAND.


BALTINoRE, July 26.-The evening edition Of
the american publishes the following -
We have been able this morning to ascertain
nothing definite with regard to the Rebel move
ments at Martinsburg, and along the line of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, further than the
fact that most of the exciting stories in crcula-
tion on Monday evening were either unfounded
or greatly exaggerated.
AS far as we can ascertain this morning. Gene
raj Ayerill has not been killed, as reported but
was compelled by greatly superior Rebel force
to fall back to the Potomac through Martinsburg,
to Williamsport, Maryland, carrying with him
the garrison at that point.
Whether the Rebels occupied MarLinsburg last
night is not known; but Of its evacuation by our
troops there seems TO be no doubt.
This morning trains to Frederick and Wash
ington went out as usual and a train for Sandy
Hook leftat 7'45 A. NJ.
The suspension of telegraph operations last
night are said to have been caused by the storm
of wind blowing down pole.
General Hunter has, however, forbidden all
telegraphic communication with II rper's Ferry,
and of course we have nothing direct from that
vicinity.

sc. General Rousseau was also ordered TO de-
stroy the town OF Opelika, the point Of junction
OF the road from Columbus with Atlanta, West
Point, and Montgomery road,
General Rousseau received his fnl orders on
the Ath instant aud on the Sth, having completed
his preparations, left Nashville with his stan.
lie was ace mpanied BY Captain J. G. Williams,
10Th United States Infantry, and Captain EalSin,
9th Kentucky Cavalry, Aides-2e Camp; Captain
Ruger Typographical Engineers; Capt. McCOn-
mel Inspector, and several other officers. Captain
Ruger had been engaged for several months in
preparing maps of the route and in gathering
important information from Union refugees.
The force placed at the disposal Of General
Rousseau was limited to about 27SO men, and
consisted OF the following regiments, which were
concentrated at Decatur, Aabama 18th Indiana
Cavalry, Colonel T. l. Harrison; 9TH Iowa
Cavalry, Lieutenant Colonel Patrick ID Ken
tucky Cavalry, Major Effort; 4th Tennessee
Cavalry, and the 9th Ohio cavalry. The men
composing this force were all veterans, well
mounted and eXceIlently armed. thousand
Spencer repeating rifles, firing eight times, and
invaluable as cavalry arm, wers iudicOusly
distributed among the men. Two light Rodman
guns were also taken along.
General Rousseau moved from Decatur with
his forces on the 10th inst taking a southcasterly
direction. The details of the expedition have not
yet been received; but by referring 20 good map
OF Alabama and Georgia It will be seen that the
first important point on the route Is BlountsvillC,
about fifty miles from Decatur; the second Ash
vile, some thirty miles further on. He probably
crossed the Coosa river somewhere in the vicinity
OF Broken Arrow, pushed on 20 Talladega, and
thence to the TallapOosa river, which ne was 10
cross at the most convenient bridge or ford. This
would bring him within thirty miles Of the Mont
gomery road.
Eight important bridges carry this railroad
over as many streams, between Opelika aud
Montgomery and the thorough destruction of
these was one Of the principal objects of the
raid. Having accomplished this work, and de-
strOyed the wOrkhOuse and other Government
buildings at Opeika and the bridges between
that town and West Point, General ROascau was
ordered to move up on the west side of the Chat
tahoochee and join General Sherman at some
point between Marietta, Ga, and that river.
That he has done his work eltectually we know
not only from General Sherman's despatch, but
from the Rebel acknowledgment that on the 18th
instant telegraphic communication was sus-
pended between Atlanta and Montgomery aud
that the railroad between the former place and
West Point was not In working order.

LOSS OF A MISSISSIPPI STEAMER.
Sinking Of the James White''-Loss of
Fifty Lives, and II Large Amount of
CamD EQuipage.


CAIRO, July 2j.-The steamer James White,
from New Orleans, on the 18th, arrived here to-
day, and reports that the steamer b. W. R,atyaa,
from Natchez, struck snag of Grifiiths land
ing, 10 miles below Greenville, Miss, on the Dist
instant, at 10 o'clock at night, and sunk 10 the
hurricane roof in five minutes.
She had nearly 600 people aboard, including
44O of the 10th Missouri Cavalry, so refugees and
furloughed soldiers, and quite number Of cabin
passengers.
About fifty lives were lost half of the number
belonged to the cavalry. The remainder, with
two exceptions, were refugees and negroes. But
two cabin passengers, young man named Chap
Ian, of Alton, Illinois, and boy, are believed TO
have been lost.
Gunboat No. IL came up about twenty minutes
after the disaster, and rescued about forty per
sons. The others swan ashore.
There were also on board III mules, 62 horses,
and Is wagons, containing the camp equipage of
the regiment, all of which, with the boat, are
total loss.
The steamer James White brought up most of
the rescued, excepting the cavalry, who were

THE TENTH CORPS.

HEADQUARTERs TENTH ARMY CoRPs, HAT
CHER's HOUSE, Va, July %, 10 z. M.-lt may be
weA and truthfully said that the fortunes of the
historic and good old 10th Corps are varied, and
lily calculated to promote its efficiency, though
the material, as TO both officers and men, Is of
solid q character as to successfully bear IL up
above and beyond all its domestic vicissitudes to
which there seems TO be no end.
Its commanding officer is new man 20 the corps
every few days, save perhaps in the case OF Gene
raj Terry, just relieved to make way for General
BiTney, the special order appointing whom was
promulgated to-day, and who, IL is believed, will
be continued in command by the President. Too
much praise can scarcely be awarded the corps,
in view of the nature and extent of It's past SER
vices, and they are not few who venture to hope
that new career OF honorable activity end use
fulness in the iield awaits the troops Of this COM
mand, which has strong friend IN Major-General
Bnter.
One Of the divisions of the 10th, under COM
mand of General John W. Turner has been
doing noble service in front Of Petersburg for
many long and weary weeks past, in the trenches
and other relevant spots theTeabouts and dt Is but
true to say that they compare far more than
tavorably with the proud spirited, and patriotic
18th, 9th and 9th Corps, forming portion
Of our forces at this absorbing point, and
who, by virtue of numbers and the advantage of
presence in force on the great scene, seem 10
be ambitious of wearing all the laurels and
bearing away all the honors of the siege.
The corps is also represented largely at Deep
Bottom, where IL forms a part OF our forces
holding that position. Here, too, II has been
foremost IN duty and success, and has really
added another bright paragraph TO the page that
shall in the future bear its gallant history upon
It's face.
General Birney will al once assume command,
and announce his staff, while General Terry will
resume command of his able and strong division.
The staff of General Brooks, lately commanding
the corps, have all departed to new spheres, and
in some instances, am happy to say, with nc \
rank.

THE SECOND CORPS.

ARMY or THE PoTOHAC, NEAR PETERsBURG,
July 23.-Major General Birney has been traus-
terred from the Army OF the Potomac TO General
Buffers Department. BY special order from
Lientenant-General Grant he has been assigned
to the command Of the 10th Army Corps. In
mediately after receiving that order yesterday he
proceeded 70 make tie necessary arrangements
for changing from the old command TO the new.
There are few attachments stronger than those
formed between companions in arms on the leld
Of batle; and hence, though called TO assume
greater responsibilities and higher honors, II was
not without lingering regrets that General Birney
bade farewell 10 the Sd Division Of the ID Corps,
with which he has been so long and so tavorably
id, nthed. That division has been commanded
hy bim ever since the death Of the lamented
Kearney.
Its history is intimately and honorably asso.
Ciatcd with the wonderful campaigns Ofthe Army
Of the Potomac. General Birney has shown him
self worthy of the confidence that has been re
posed in him. Those who have had personal
knowledge OF his operations in the held concur
in the opinion that he is a very valuable officer.
His services in this campaign have Justly in-
creased his reputation. lie has steadily carved
bis way 10 the proud position which he at present
occupies.
On the eve of his departure from the 2d Corps,
a number of officers called at his headquarters
last evening and bade him adieu. The occasion was
tnliyened by the perform ance of some fine selec-
tions by the Sd Division band. Upon relinquish-
ing command the General issued the following
farewell words TO his troops -

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
sps ciaI 10 The Evening Telegraph

BAI1MoRn, July 26, 1920 A. M.-The A0,eri-
can has the following -
The city was last night full of rumors of
Rebel movements in the Shenandoah valley,
together with vague accounts OF disasters 70 the
force under General Ayerill, which last week
attacked and defeated a portion of General
Early's raiders near Winchester. Among the
rumors was the deaths of Generals Kelley and
Averill, as well as of Colonel Mullgan.
The facts, as far as VIC have been able to ascer-
tain them, are that General Averl, after his sue
cessful encounter with Early's forces, pursued
} them TO the mountains, beyond Winchester,
twhere Early made standj and after the heavy
lighting of Saturday and Sunday, the Rebels
Shaving been in the mean time largely reinforced,
General Ayerill was compelled TO fall back to
Harper's Ferry, bringing with him the forces at
Bunker Hill, and causing also the evacuation Of
Martinsburg.
The Rebels appear to have pursued him in his
retreat, and yesterday afternoon again occupied
Martinsburg, where they cut the telegraph, and
commenced again the destruction Of the track of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
: Our forces, according TO the best advices we
could obtain, are now concentrated at Harper's
Ferry, under the command Of General Hunter
whilst the Rebels hold Martinsburg, and rumor
states them to be in large force, but this can
hardly be possible, beyond the strength of
Early's and BreckiDridge's forces.
Their object in returning is, doubtless, to give
time for insuring the safety of their trains of
plumber, and to secure the collection of portion
of the crops in the Shenandoah Valley. That
they may again come into Maryland for more
plunder is highly probable, especialIyif they find
the way Zen to them.
AS 70 the extent of the disaster to our forces in
the fight beyond Winchester, we have no authen
tic informa,Ioni nor have We any confirmation OF
tho .rumOrs Of the death Of Generals Kelley and

Obituary..

The above telegram was received in this city
ehis morning by relative Of the deceased, which
is the first intimation we have OF the plrticipl-
tOn Of Captain Elliott in the battle Of the 22d
instant. Captain Elliott was u Phiadelphian by
birth, and at the time Of his death was in the 2sgh
year his age lie was a graduate Of the Phila-
delphia High School, and, previous to the break
ing out Of the Rebellion, was engaged as
reporter upon the Ledger, of this city, and
largely contributed 70 many Of the literary pub
liCatOns Of the day. Al one time he was part
proprietor and editor Of the Ladies' Iisit0r,
weekly sheet, which for time enjoyed quite an
extensive circulation.
When Colonel Geary's Regiment left the city,
Captain Elliott went out with il in the capacity
OF First Lieutenant, and subsequently rapidly
rose to the position of Captain and Adjutant-
General upon General Geary's statl, which post
he filled with marked ability up 10 the hour of
his death. We understand that commission
OF Major had been forwarded him only few
days since, but his sudden death has prevented
him from receiving this last honor from the Gov
eminent in whose defense he has so nobly fallen.
Captain Elliott was a young man of line social
as well as mental qualities, and his deaah will
create q void among a large circle Of loving
friends.

CAVALRY OPERATIONS OF GENER Al

Important Raid ON the Montgomery and
West Point Railroad, by General ROus-

The following has been received from General
ROusseau's expedition -
i"MARIETIA, GA, July 4.-To the Assistant
Adiutant- General, District of Tennessee We
arrived here day before yesterday, and have been
eminently successful, and have executed the
orders Of General Sherman 10 the letter. Our
loss does not exceed twelve in killed and wound
cd. l start to-day for Nashville -
On the 22d General Sherman announced, in q
circular TO his army, that General Rousseau had
been entirely successful.
The important expedition against the Mont
gomeTy and West Point Railroad, the success Of
which is thus officially announced, was projected
by General Rousseau when General Sherman
was preparing TO depart on his great raid through
Mississippi, in the early part Of this year; but
for various military reasons, It's execution was
postponed until the present month.
On the Both ult. General Sherman revived the
project as an important auxiliary 10 his grand
moyemCn upon Atlanta, his object being 10 cut
the railroad between Columbus, Georgia, and
Montgomery, Alabama, so ellectually as TO de-
stroy permanently the Rebel communications
between these points, Abundant preparations
were made for the destruction Of the ties, rails
bridges, culyerts, watertanks depot buildings, 10
