From Mnryland-Rebels RetreatinE.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. S.-The Bulletin has
the following from Frederick: Colonel Bird,
of the Twenty first Pennsylvania cavalry,
took possession Of Hagerstown yesterday.
Later news received this morning states
that the rebels have retreated hOmewards,
and have again eluded preparations for their
capture. 1t is thought thEt under the new
commander rebel inroads to our State will
cease. z
A dispatch received at headquarters from
the military operator at Hagerstown, says all
is quiet on the Potomac. N
BALrIMoRE, Aug. S.-The American learns
from gentleman who arrived this morning
from the Upper Potomac, that the entire reb-
Ell forces are evacuating the Maryland side OF
the Potomac, and moving off in haste. Their
rear guard crossed ut Shephardstown. at III
o'clock yesterday. The balance crossed at
Hancock about the same time, from south
side Of the Potomac.
We learn that Early has been moving up
the valley towards Winchester with his har-
vest trains. During all of last week he was
securing the country, for conscripts and
grain. Information has been received since
that the rebels made feint Of movement
on MARYLAND, mainly to cover their retreat.
Their trains we're filled TO the fullest capacity,
and they are now moving off towards Staun-
ton.
BALTIMORE, August s, P. M.-The latest
reports from the valley represent the rebels
in force south Of Winchester. II is thought
that we shall have an engagement with them
there. This is oil good authority.
The Worlds special of the 9Th says the
invasion had partially subsidized yesterday. It
was confidently believed that battle would
take place upon the old Sharpsburg, or in
that vicinity; but il is now believed if the
rebels had any serious intentions, they have
given them up on finding how large force
was ready TO contest their march into Penn
sylvania With recent changes in the COM
mand in Maryland, and the present DISPOSE
ton Of our forces, it will be impossible for
the rebels to get as far as the PENNSYLVANIA
line without desperate battle in which the
odds will be against thgm. ~
Important Movements.
A heavy cavalry force, heretofore under
Grant, is now concentrated on the upper Po-
tomac, and instead of the rebel invasion Of
PENNSYLVANIA, the country will be more likely
to hear of march of a heavy Federal coll
umn down the Shenandoah Valley. Wrights
command, at last accounts, was at Browns
boro, in the North Mountain Valley country.
We may rest assured that the late invasion is
over for the present.
Another special to the World says: The
rebel movement on the upper Potomac was a
feint to cover the sending-of reinforcements,
supposed to be not less than thirty thousand
of Lees veterans TO Atlanta. Much appre-
hensjon is felt in matters.
The Herald's special says: Grant has
returned from the upper Potomac and start
ed for City Point.
The Tribune's Army of the Potomac cor
respondent says Important movements are
in progress, from which we may soon expect
news.
Wallace has resumed command Of the
Eighth Army Corps and all other troops in
the Department, from which he was tempora-
rily relieved. The troops of Hunters COM
mand have been temporarily assigned to the
forces under Wright, andexcepted from such
arrangement.
New Military Division-Sherfdan,
Hooker md StOneman.
WASHINGTON, August ga new military
division has been formed, known as the Mid
die Military Division. Sheridan has been
assigned to its command, with his headquar
tiers at Harper's Ferry. The division is COM
posed ofthe Department of Washington, the
Department of the Susquehannah, the Middle
