FROM NEW YORK.
New YORK. july 8

NEW 1ORk, July 8
General Sandford, this morning, re-
ceiyed instructions not to issue orders for
the departure of any of our city regiments
for the scene of the rebel invasion until
further orders are received from Albany.
News of the retreat of the rebels in
Maryland increased confidence in the
money market, and certificates advanced
4G2 Gold opened firm at PIG, but
gradually declined to 269G27O.
The Worlds headquarters correspondent
says;
1t is not permitted to speak freely ofthe
preparations during the past week for re-
newing offensive operations in this lacality.
The next few days may witness some effort
more sanguinary, and perhaps more fruit
full than the slow process of a siege.
Geueral Hunt, into whose hands has
been given charge ofall the siege operations
in front, has been for the past few DAYS
constantly in the saddle, experimenting
the placing of batteries and testing the
value of positions. Some of our batteries
hayo been constructed under great disad-
vantages. The men being obliged to lie
on their bellies, and dig holes, sufficiently
deep TO protect them from the rebel fire.
The shelling of railroad trains is kept up
constantly.
The Worlds Washington correspon-
dent says:
Indications are that active movements
on a large scale will not be attempted fol-
a week or two at least The fall of Peters
burg is a question of time, and that time
must dlapse before it can be takeu. Grant
is conducting a siege, such a siege as culmi-
mated so gloriously at Vicksburg but the
Job was far more serious than this one.
What he has made up his mind to do, he
will do and will not be hastened into pre-
/ cipitaI-cy and chance cf failure. Siege
guns, enough to sweep Petersburg from the
face of the earth, have already been noun
ted. Grant may strike like Tightening
aud with fatal effect, somewhere else. Hi:
ways are devious and past finding out.

FREDERIcK, Nd, July So Pm.
Yesterday afternoon at three O'Clock, the
Rebel General Bradley johnson, having
been reinforced by about 500 mounted in
fantry, again advanced and drove in our
pickets toward Frederick. General Wal
lace hearing that onr forces, composed of
Colonel Clendening's cavalry and portion
of the Alexandria, Maryland, Battery, and
one regiment of infantry, commanded by
Colonel Gilpin, were being driven in, sent
General Tyler TO rally our men and check
the enemy.
HTyler Immediately gathered all 5trag-
glers amounting in all to about 300, and
sent them forward and ordered our men to
select a good position and make a stand,
that was done within a mile of Frederick,
The rebels came and made three charges
on our lines, and were as often sepulsed.
There were three pieces ofartillery on each
side. The rebels threw several shells into
Frederick during the enganement, and two
very near our hospital. The enemy find
ing it impossible to break our lines late in
the evening they fell back again to the
CatcoBin Mountain on Middleton
road where they thought they would again
make a stand Early this A. NJ, General
Wallace ordered our forces to advance eau
tiously along the Middletown road, and
about nine o'clock thep drove in the enc
my's pickets. Near the mountain a brisl
7lEirnnish ansned- At present writing tn,
enemy is retreating towards Middletown.-
Reinforcements have been arriving all day
They are all hurried up the road by Gen
eral Wallace to Join our advance befor,
night. The rebels will be driven beyon,
Middleton. Our loss in Yesterdays and to
days skirmishing will not amount to NOR,
than fifty men in killed, wounded ant
missing. The enemy's is believed to b.
about the same.
This column of the invading force is es
timated at one thousand men, all told.
The present impression is that they vii
try to get south of the Potomac as soon a
possible.
The rebels have evacuated Harper
Ferry, and our forces again occupy tn
town.

The Governor has issued his proclama-

the maximum number within ten days, or
teey will be filed under the enrolment
act. Each county must furnish its pro-

No reply has been received from Wash

nature of the service which will be re-

any men from this State for its suppress

Tory Respect for General Grant and

our Army.
The London Times has heard the news
Of the great battle in Virginia, and is con-
siderably impressed by the strategy Of
General Grant and the valor Of our soldiers.
Hero is the need Of praise which Is wrung
from it by facts which it cannot gainsay
The northern army must contain splen
did materials to be capable Of being
handled with such absolute indifference to
loss, and such hard unbending purpose as
General Grant displays 1t Is sufficiently
astonishing that the tremendous losses Of
the army do not affect the inhabitants Of
New York and Washington with more
grief, or, at least. hesitation but it is
equally remarkable that they do not seem,
to affect the spirits Of the army. That
capacity for not knowing when they are
beaten, which has its burlesque aspect in
the reckless Misrepresentation which dis
honor the New York papers, is yet a real
and deep rooted quality in the people. We
think It miserable delusion which leads
the North to sacrifice tens Of thousands Of
lives and hundreds of millions Of dollars
for the sake of an imaginary Union, but
vet it is impossible not to feel that it is
great display Of fortitude which carries
them through it. Thesuferings, it is true,
are in q great measure vicarious, but they
must come home to the people sooner or
later and there are admirable qualities at
the bottom of a resolution capable Of
adhearing with such tenaeity to principles
which have hitherto exhibited such disas-
trous results.
