NO APPEARANCE OF THE REBELS WITHIN
THE DEPARTMENT OF WASHINGTON
THE REBELS HAVE NOT CROSSED AT ED
WARDS FERRY AS REPORTED.
eBNI TYLBR REPORTED NOT CAprURsI
THE INVASION.

Nothing is known here that we have been
corning the extent Of our losses in the engage
ment Of yesterday at the Monocacy. The bull
letin OF the Secretary of War, which we here
with publish, embraces all its particulars so
far as ascertained in this city. Gen. Wallaces
! command were this morning in position to
cover any demonstration the rebels may make
to-day or tomorrow on Baltimore, where, we
believe, considerable body of troops frsm a
distance are arriving at this time.
The Washington branch railroad was I'M
disturbed up to a. m. to. day. It Is not prob
able that it can be interfered with seriously
until sometime tomorrow, by which time, we
apprehend, sufficient Union troops will have
been concentrated to drive the invading force
before them. .s-.t ri - ..e
!, The force within the line of entertainments
around this city is ample for its thorough pro-
tection against any demonstrations the rebels
may make in this direction; though to enable
some portion of it to participate in the defence
of Baltimore, it eeems to US that it may be-
come necessary that our fellow. citizens in and
out of Government employment subject to mi
litia duty may be called out for service imme-
diately around their homes
We have no apprehensions that either Balti-
more or this city are in danger of being sacked
by the rebels; knowing as we do the prepare.
tions made for the security Of both; and we
therefore advise the public to keep as cool as
the state Of the weather will allow, each man
making his arrangements to be ready to re-
spond instantly to any call for his services in
defence OF his home that may possibly grow
out Of the military ssituation" of the hour in
our front.
Nothing whatever is yet known to the public
here concerning the movements of the rebels
since the engagement Of yesterday; nor do we
believe they have so far made any demonstra.
ton which has enabled the authorities to learn
their flu ture purpose. That is: whether they
propose to dash next at Baltimore, at Wash
iDgton, or to turn northwest in the hope OF
striking Hunter en- route east at some point
SO near the upper Potomac as that they may
escape south Of that river before being inter-
cepted by the progressing gathering Of ample
Union forces.
We make this publication simply that the
public may know the truth concerning the
state OF things in our front this morning, so far
rs it is known here.
The morning trains from Baltimore were
run with great caution, so as to guard against
any possible contingency of being in terfered
with by some small squad of rebel cavalry or
sympathizing Maryland disciples of speace."

The U. $. mail steamer Highland Light, Cap
tain Weeks, arrived here this morning from
City Point, which place she left at / o'clock
yesterday morning.
From parties coming up on her we learn
that on Thursday night the rebels brought a
battery to bear upon working party of ours
who were engaged in throwing up earthworks
nearer to Petersburg, and for awhile sharp
cannonading took place, our men having also
brought up battery to oppose that OF the reb-
els: and that the latter was soon silenced. Sub
sequently the rebels took up new position,
and again opened upon our working party,
but finding they could accomplish nothing
they ceased.
With this exception all has been quiet for q
few days past. But this is but the preliminary
moment Of quiet before the storm. Grant
never was more hopeful of taking Richmond,
never was better prepared and was never be-
fore SO near the accomplishment of his purpose
as at this moment. All this may seem para
doxical in view of the rebel "Great Calcula-
tons" of creating diversion from Richmond
by their Potomac raid, but it is strictly true as
time will show.
Hon. John Covode, OF Pennsylvania, came
up on the Highland Light, bringing up the
body Of his son, Col. 6. II. Coyode. of the 18th
protecting the rear of Sheridan's train, while
crossing James river in its late movement from
the white House to join the main army. MIR.
Coyode went down on Tuesday last, and as
the oooy or the Colonel was in the rebel lines
four of his own company volunteered to search
out the spot where he fell. Permission was
obtained and they started on their mission and
got safely through the lines and returned
The next night General Sheridan detailed n
company OF 30 men, who, under cover of a
gunboat detailed for the purpose, landed at
St. Marys, in Charles county, and avoiding
the rebel pickets, secured the body. His body
had been Inferred by some negroes, who placed
boards around the grave.
These negroes state that Col. Coyode fingered
all night and died the morning after being
wounded. Before he died the rebels took from
him his watch, money and valuables, and then
stripped him Of all his clothing except his

The rebel invasion OF Western Maryland
continues to be the exciting topic, and each
and every train that reaches this city via the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from that Sec
ton of the State brings quite number of
refugees. As usual, their statements of the
number of the rebels, the fights, &c, vary con-
siderably, and are all cleaned from what they
heard. 81
Since Thursday night we learn from official
sources the following state of affairs in that
region: -a@

troops (Who were ON Maryland Heights) have

There was another extensive fire at Harper's

enemy had previously burned the extensive
railroad platform, and oil the buildings along
the lire OF the Potomac. The conflagration on
Thursday night threw q glow over all the
country for miles around.
The man body Of the rebels Is supposed to
be In the neiehborhood OF fredericksburg,
watching for the appearance OF Gen. Hunter,
and the opinion 10 becoming general that they
do not number the half Of thirty thousand.
During Thursday night all was quiet near
Frederick, though the rebel lines were within

Proclamation by the Governor and Mayor

PROCLAIM alton by the Governor and Mayor.
BALTIMORE, July O.-The city has been full
OF rumors to-day of disaster to our forces un-
der Gen. Wallace at Frederick.
AS near as can get at the truth, the enemy
appeared in large force in front OF Frederick
last evening. General Wallace not deeming
himself strong enough to resist them, fell back
70 MoDocacy bridge. Here he was attacked
this morning in Overwhelming numbers, and
forced to iall back on reinforcements which
were sent to his relief. The enemy were so
strong that 1t is reported our forces are still
failing JACK, and that the rebels have destroyed
the bridge at Monocacy.
The Governor has issued the following
PRoCLAMATIoS.
Citizens of Baltimore: We have been unwil-
ling to create an unnecessary alarm or agita-
ton In this community by any appeal for your
immediate assistance in assisting the threatened
invasion that may be deemed premature, but
nave no longer such an apprehension, and have
no hesitation in declaring that in our opinion
the danger which now threatens the city is i'm
mtnent, and if you would avert it every loyal
man must at once prepare to meet il.
The invading enemy is, by the last accounts,
approaching the city.
All the men that can be raised are wanted 10
occupy the Notifications already completed
and 10 prepare others. 1t is not important
how you should come, but most important
that you should come at once-come in your
leagues or come in militia companies-but
come in crowds and come quickly.
Brigadler General Lockwood has volun-
TERED TO take charge OF all OF the civil forces
thus raised, and has been assigned to that
command.
The 10y al men of every ward will assemble
at their usual places of ward meeting, and
will report forthwith to General Lockwood,
at his headquarters, 81 North street.
