FnIDAY, July IS.
Gold closed yesterday at 25s}s
As We anticipated yesterday mornino tho
rebel raid has come to most inylorious end.
After stealing all the horses and cattle thew
wanted, they had the temerity to attack Fort
Stevens one of the defenccs of Washington
where they were repulsed by portion of the
Sixth corps, which had been brought up fr. IN
GRANTS army. During the night following
they retreated with all their plumber acrose tic
various fords of the Potomac without oppSi-
ton, SO far as we are ut present informed. The
dispatch Gays most OF the rebels crossed Tho
Potomac on loot aud re-crossed on horse
back. The results of the raid TO the
reb. Is are so unimpOr,ant in o mill
itary point Of view that we can hardly credit
the large estimate of the rebel force. 1t Is said
that it consisted Of three corps, under the CON-
mand of Hill, JOHNSON and EARLY the latter
being in command at the attack on Fort Ste
vens. On the other hand It appears that the
Washington authorities must have deemed the
danger imminent or they would not have Or
dered the Sixth Corps from GRANT to repel the
invasion. 1t is q great satisfaction to know
that the raid ended u 1t did but III, re will be
some disappointment if the audacious rascals
are net intercepted or overtaken and punished
on their retreat. SHERIDAN has moved up to
intercept them, but as tn r. bes are noun ed
ON fresh horses. and acquainted with the c0un.
Try, they will probably escape. The expei fence
armed from this and previous invasions will
be of little use reserve force is not created
and kept hereafter in position to be- made
Available at moments notice.
1t is now settled that Gen. FRANKLIN was
captured by the rebels, but that he made his
escape. the details of which show he Is some-
thing Of strategist.
