The Very Latest.

BALTIMORE, July ga special dispatch
to the American from Alfred Spates, Presi-
dent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
dated Cumberland, July 9Th, says the reb-
ell raid has been very destructive on the
Canal. We have information here chat the
Canal has been badly damaged, and that a
number of boats have been burned and
teams captured.
The following is the latest and most au-
thentic information received up to nine
o'clock this evening from the upper PotO-
mac About six o'clock this evening an at
tack was about being made upon Maryland
Heights, where General Sigel's whole force
is concentrated, and was then formed in
line of battle for defence.
Very little information or details of the
progress of the siege of Harpers Ferry and
Maryland Heights could be obtained owing
to there being no trains running that far up
the road, and the operator not being in a
position to understand the true condition
of affairs other than that the defence was
obviously successful in the view Of the
heights being still in Gen. Sigels posses
sion

CITY ITEMS.

FAIRBANKS SCALEs.-About thirty-five
years ago, the Messrs, Fairbanks invented
and began making platform scales, which
effected complete change in the manner
of doing such business as requires weigh
ing, and without which it would be impos-
sible to do the present immense amount Of
business in the country. Since then they
have given their constant personal atten-
tion to the business, making all such inn
provements and adding such notifications
as their experience has shown to be desira-
BILE. During this time many other kinds of
scales have been invented, and more or less
triedi by the public, and mainly thrown
aside, while the business of the Messrs.
Fairbanks has steadily increased from year
to year, their scales now standing higher in
public estimation, and their sales being
very much larger than ever before. This
shows very strongly the excellence and du-
rability Of Fairbanks scales. -,,.s...g

Arrival of the City Of Baltimore
Particulars of the Fight between
the Kersage and Alabama-The
Alabama Sunk.

New YORK, July 5th.-The steamer City
of Baltimore arrived this morning.
The pirate Alabama left Cherbourg on
the 10Th, to engage the Kersage, and at
tackled her ten miles from Cherbourg. The
engagement lasted an hour and forty min
utes. Both vessels made seven complete
circles in manRuvering at distance of
from quarter to half mile. The Ala
bama was sunk. Semmes and a part of his
crew were saved by the English yacht
DeerhOund. Semmes was slightly wounded
in the hand. Before leaving Cnerbourg the
pirate left sixty chronometers, his specie
and ransom bonds there. No one was Killed
and only three seamen slightly wounded on
the Kersage. She landed her wounded at
Cherbourg. The vessel sustained but little
injury.
Semmes declined public dinner at South
hampton, and went to Paris to report to the
Confederate Commissioners. Three of the
Alabama's officers and six Of her crew land
ed at CherbOurg from French pilot boat;
also several from the British ship Acton.

ATTEMPTED EscAPEwoF
g, REBELS.
Desperate Effort of Rebel Prisoners
at Camp Chase to gain their Liber'
ty ON Independence Day-Thirty
Knock Down the Guard and
Get Out-They are Recap
tured-TWO Wounded.

The rebel prisoners OF war confined at
Camp Chase are not as well contented with
their position as might be supposed from
reading in the loyal papers that most rebs
are glad to be captured in order to enjoy
the extra good living in the north. There
is no doubt that they have been meditating
a stampede for some months past and only
awaited favorable opportunity to make
the attempt. The Fourth of July possessed
superior inducements for the effort, and
was perhaps selected with reference to its
historical associations.
AT all events, on the morning of that day,
as the gate to the enclosure of the rebel
prison was oponed to allow the sanitary
cart to pass out with its assorted cargo of
debris, the prisoners made rush upon the
sentinel at the gate, ,overpowered and knock
ed him down, and about thirty of them got
out. They were Immediately fired upon
by the guard ON the parapet, and two of the
grey Jackets brought down wounded. The
Others, taking advantage of the long piles
of wood near the prison, used them as a
screen and ran along for considerable dis
tance, and some of them, it is said, actually
made their escape out of the camp.
The alarm was soon given, and the Pro-
vost Guard of the Camp, the SSth regiment,
gave chase to the runaways, and speedily
recaptured most of them. When their ad-
vance was cut off, or their rear threatened
by the near approach of the guard, the reb-
els would throw up their hands in token of
surrender. Col. Richardson, commandant
at the post, reports that all who got out of
their enclosure were recaptured, and that
but two of them were wounded. one of
whom, the most seriously hurt of the two,
was shot in the arm, and had the limb am
putated. The other one was not seriously
hurt. The rebel who lost his arm, has been
in Camp Chase about year, was well
known, and had, to a certain extent, gained
the confidence of the officers of the post by
his uniform good conduct.
On the evening of the affray, the city was
full of rumors in regard to it, and it was
reported that two men had been killed,
eight wounded, and that twenty had effect
ed their escape, but these reports were
without foundation in fact. The above is
the authoritative version of the attempted
escape.

THE CITY.
DESPERATE AFFRAY.
Riot at WOrthingtOn ON the Fourth
One Man Shot and several Others
Desperately Notwithstanding
Treatment of a Rying Man.

On Monday the Fourth of July, party
consisting of Henry Emmerich, Jack Jones,
his brother Morgan Jones, James Sullivan,
Dan Clary and several others whose names
are not reported, left Columbus and went
to Worthington for the purpose Of celebrat-
ing the day, and enjoying aspree. On their
arrival in the village they visited bar kept
by Nicholas Van Loon and took drink, for
which they refused to pay the price requir-
ed, ten cents. They next visited other
groceries and had difficulty in each one.
Finally becoming very much intoxicated,
they returned to the first establishment
threatening to clean out the town, and
commenced by quitting the establishments
breaking the furniture, windows and every
thing within their reach that was break
able. Most of the citizens of the village
were at picnic in the woods, but Van
Loon, and another grocery keeper named
Biggs, and Constable Beers, undertook to
arrest the party, and desperate fight en-
sued. The Constable's party was Joined by
several citizens, and a citizen named High
land participated with the Columbus party.
The fight lasted for some minutes, and shots
and missiles between the belligerents were
freely exchanged. The Worthington crowd,
being the strongest, finally triumphed, driv-
ing off the Columbus men. During the
struggle Henry Emmerich was shot in the
side, as is supposed by Van Loon, and fell
in the street mortally wounded, as was sup
posed. Jack Jones and Highland were also
beaten so terribly that they could not make
their escape. While Emmerich was lying
bleeding in the street, it is said some of the
Constable's party continued to beat and
kick him in the most brutal and shocking
manner. From the effects of this treat
ment and the pistol-shot wound he had re-
ceived, he laid for long time insensible
and was supposed to be dead.
Those of the party who were able to
travel made their escape as best they could,
and returned to this city badly used mp.
Emnerich was finally rescued by some OF
the citizens from the infuriated crowd, and
conveyed to place of quiet. He was yes
terday brought TO the nome OF MS widowed
mother on North Public Lane in this city,
where he now is I'm very dangerous con-
dition. The ball is lodged near the spine,
and all the efforts of the surgeon to extract
it have been unavailing.
Jack Jones is reported to have stabbed a
man, who is now lying in a dangerous con-
dition in Worthington. The man, High
land, was removed to his home near by, and
was left in an extremely critical condition.
No arrest of any one concerned in this
fatal affray, has yet been made that we are
aware of.

Light report that day before yesterday
Gen. Grant sent demand for the uncondi-
tional surrender of Petersburg, but the
answer was not known at City Point when
the Highland Light left.
1t was believed if the demand was not
complied with, that reasonable time
would be allowed for the removal of the
women and children, before the town was
attacked. They also say that appearances
indicated lively work.

BRILLIANT MILITARY STRATEGY RED
TAPE ILLUsTRATED.-A soldier belonging
to the National Guard was yesterday re-
lieved from singular predcament, which
is forcible illustration of the operations
of red tape. He had enlisted in the Nation
al Guard as substitute, in a regiment
quartered at Camp Dennison. About three
weeks ago he obtained permission to visit
Cincinnati without pass. Arrived in the
Queen City he happened to mention the
fact to some one that he was substitute in
the National Guard. The vigiant military
authorities at that place speedily came down
on him for pass, which he was unable to
produce. His battalion had just been con-
solidated with another, and he had forgot
ten its number, The authorities would not
believe his story, and he was arrested as a
notorious bounty jumper, and sent to Lou
isville to be forwarded to his regiment. He
was sent back and forth from Louisville to
Cincinnati three times. He was then sent
to Nashville, then back to Louisville, then
to Memphis, then to Louisville, then to
Cairo, and then to Cincinnati again. FL
nally the authorities there conceived the
brilliant idea of sending him to Columbus,
under the guard of three or four men. He
passed Camp Dennison, and was recognized
and saluted by his comrades, but red tape
bound his guards and they could not stop.
He was finally delivered to Major Skiles at
Tod Barracks, who referred him to Adju-
tant General Cowen, who speedily found
his name upon the roll of the National
Guard, and sent him to his regiment at
Camp Dennison. He travelled about five
thousand miles at the Governments ex-
pense, and occupied the attention of about
one hundred different soldiers who were
detailed to guard him as desperate char
acter, when, in fact, he was one of the most
honest, simple minded and inoffensive men
in his regiment.

Rebel Raid into Pennsylvania
SigeI Driven from his Position.

PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-The Inquirer
publishes special dispatch from Gettys-
burg, dath the 4th, stating that there was
much excitement there and in the country
south of Harrisburg, in consequence of ru-
mors that large body of rebels are making
raid on Maryland and southern Pennsyl-
vania, and had already crossed the Poto-
mac.
The following was received from the
headquarters of Gen. Couch:
JOHANNESBURG, July 4.-'The latest in
formation is that small cavalry force had
crossed at Falling Waters, and the main
body was within three miles of Williams
port, numbering, it is said, 5000. A force of
20OO cavalry was reported crossing dam No.
4 last night.
HARRISBURG, July 4-Midnigh ght.-Official
information from the border, received by
the Governor tonight, indicates that the
enemy is advancing northward on raid.
Yesterday morning at six, Sigel was at
tackled at Leetown and Darkville, Virginia,
by large force of the enemy, said to be
under Early and Ransom, and driven from
his position with slight loss Sigel says
there were 2600 cavalry--numbero of infant
ry not known. A dispatch Just received by
the Government says fifteen rebel cavalry
men were seen within five miles of Hagers-
town this afternoon.
Other reports, considered reliable, say
there are no rebels this side of the Potomac.
The object of the enemy is to advance as
far as possible into Pennsylvania and steal
horses and prisoners.
SECOND DISPATCH.
OF Gen. Couch's movement it is improp-
er to speak. He will be in consultation
with the Governor and will have the sole
management. The old Reserves are ready
to respond, and are on the way to their
posts. The Governor will no doubt issue q
proclamation tomorrow.
There is some excitement and apprehen-
sion here, but in official circles there is no
fear but that Gen. Couch will succeed ad-
mirahly. But little more news is expected
tonight.
Contrabands are coming North like
clouds before storm.
PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-The Bulletin has
the following special:
HARRISBURG. July s. Afternoon.-The
rebels had not crossed the Potomac at four
o'clock this morning, at which time the tel
egraph office was open and in communica-
ton with General Couch. The fears of the
people along the border counties have been
appeased, but there is considerable alarm
still existing. as it is not certain whether
the rebels may not be i'm strong force. Gov.
Curtin returned to his post yesterday morn
ing. He did not reach Gettysburg, as he
was telegraphed to return when about fif-
teen miles from Carlisle. Over one thou
sand horses passed through Gettysburg yes
terday, owing to scare in that section,
and i'm other counties there was similar
alarm. An attack was made on Harpers
Ferry yesterday morning, July 4th, by some
four thousand cavalry and infantry, and at
last accounts General Webber was making
a sturdy defence.

there are in excellent health.
1t is reported that Dick Taylor crossed

Gen. Candy is expected at Port Hudson
by the 10Th of July, and the 10th army
corps is expected to leave Morgansea on an
expedition.

DIED OF HIS WoUNDs.-John Slankeg the
soldier of the 45th Regiment of National
Guards, who was recently shot at Tod bar
racks through tine carelessness of one of his
companions, died on Saturday, after under
going the amputation of his leg. His re-
mains were taken to the home of his pa
rents in Canton. He is another victim of
criminal carelessness and inexcusable stu
pidity in the handling of firearms.
