Thus, time passed away, rumors being
current that the enemy were still advanc-
ing, but nothing definite could be ascer-
tanned IS to their whereabouts, until Thurs
day morn, (the 7th) they advanced about
. 900 Cavalry, and one battery Of artille-
ry, within half mile Of the city. Our
forces did not exceed $500, however they
met the enemy, and brisk skirmish was
kept up until dark, neither party advane-
ing or reeeeding During the night. the
enemy withdrew and fell back to their
main body, which was then about four
miles from here.
On Friday, one division of the 9th
Corps of the army of the Potomac arriv-
ed here, and our forces occupied the city
during the day, no demonstrations being
made on part ofthe enemy. In the even
ing our forces, numbering then about
10000, retired three miles east Of the
city, crossing the Monocacy, over which
is constructed, probably the largest bridge
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. We
may well say, in the midst of peace we
are in war; for we retired that night.in
Yankcedom, and awoke the next morning
in Rebellion, At o'clock, a. m, of the
9th, the enemy's skirmishers entered the
city, -and by II o'clock their army had
come up and occupied the place. An at
tachment of 100000 was made on the
city, which was readily paid. Plumber
ing was strictly forbidden, and | must say
the discipline in their army was excellent.
No stragglers were to be seen lurking
around corners or grog shops; no carous-
ing or drunken fights occurred in the
streets and citizens were unmolested. !
saw their force, and estimated it, as 9th
ers, about 10000 strong, composed of In
fantry, Cavalry, and Artillery. All the
damage done to the Hospital, was taking
about one half of our medical supplies,
leaving our commissary stores untouched.
The Rebel force was commanded by
Generals Early, Ewall, Breckinridge and
johnson.
On the afternoon of the 9th, they met
our forces at the Monocacy, when sharp
fight was kept up alfthe afternoon, which
resulted in severely punishing the enemy.
On the afternoon Of the 10th, two COM
panies of the 18th Pa. Cavalry, charged
through the city, completely routing about
300 rebel cavalry. Captain M'Donnel
led the charge, and was wounded twice.
He is at present in the Hospital, and
hopes for his, safety are anticipated
What the enemy's movements were after
they left here, | am unable to say, as We
have been cut off from .all communica-
tions We have upwards of 400 wound
ed rebels, and about 40 of our men in
the Hospital at present. More again"

BS5~ In the last Citizen we said to the
citizens Of the county that we were still
engaged in recruiting company Of vol
unteers for the one hundred day service,
and that we expected to leave in about
ten days from that time. From many
parts of the county we have that eneour-
agement which fully assures us that we
could have full company in a very few
days. We have over fifty men enrolled
who are waiting, willing and ready to go
but in view of the fact that call has been
made for five hundred thousand men for
one, two or threo years, and the quotas
of the different districts are to be filed by
the 9th of September, at which time if
the men are not forthcoming a draft will
take place for one year, we have conclud-
ed to stop recruiting for the one hundred
day service, for the present, in order that
our county and the different sub-districts
thereof may the better be enabled to fill
their quotas; at the end of which time,
if 100. day men should still be wanted by
the State or National Government we will
renew our effort; and | take this oppor-
tunity of returning my sincere thanks to
those who have enrolled their names, and
to those who have lent their influence in
our behalf, and exerted themselves in the
good cause. G. f. ANDERSON

Army correspondence.

Bay We have been furnished the fol-
lowing extract of letter addressed by s.
Foster N Bride, Hospital Steward, t. s.
A, to his father in this borough dated
L. S. GENERAL HOSPITAL,
Frederick, MD., July Is, 1864.
81 will attempt to give you an made
quate description of what has trahspired
in this vicinity since l last wrote. As is
our custom at this Hospital, to give large
dinner every holiday, We were busily pre-
pairing for the 4th. A large awning had
been erected and furnished with seats, ca
pable of seating five hundred persons
stage erected for the speakers brass
band engaged for the occasion; programmes
printed for the day-anything and every
thing palatable that the market could af-
ford, was purchased, and in fact, every
thing augured well for the pleasure and
enjoyment of the inmates of the Hospi-
tai. But our labors were all in vain. For
number of days previous, rumors had
been current that the Rebels in large force
were moving down the valley, and the oc-
cupation of this place BY them seemed to
be fixed fact in the minds of this COM
munity. On the Sd, Sunday $50 pa
tients arrived here from Martinsburg, Va,
indicating that something of a serious ma
turc was transpiring in the valley. OF
this number 400 were able for duty, and
who skedaddled before they. saw the enc
my. They were nearly all from different
Ohio Militia regiments, for 100 days.
Immediately on their arrival here, they
were examined by our Surgeons, and those
pronounced fit for duty were to be sent
under guard to their regiments, but un-
fortunately communication between Mar
tinsburg and this place ceased in the even
ing, and we were compelled to keep them
that night. The next day, however, (the
4th, they were sent to Annapolis, when,
on arriving thereN they were assorted, and
those able for duty, including number
of officers, were placed under guard.
What disposition has been made of them
L am not able to say These men should
be made to suffer the penalty of coward
ice. By their actions they bring aishon-
'or on themselves, their families. and on
their State, which has always so nobly
and willingly furnished men and means to
help crush this cursed rebellion.
The 4th, instead of being day of
pleasure and recreation, was converted in |
to one of labor. The Commissary. Quar-
termaster, and great portion of Hospi-
tai stores were removed horses and stock
were taken to Baltimore, and men liable
to conscription skedaddled by scores.
Blythe evening of the 9Th, everything
was as quiet as Sabbath's morn; mer-
chants had their goods slowed away, and |
business was Statue 3uo.

NEW BELL FOR TIE FARM SCHOOL.
The destruction of the fine bell of this
Institution when the main building was
consumed, was aloss very painfully felt
alike by all the. inmates and the entire
neighborhood. The pleasant melody of
the old bell was the subject Of many re-
gret and the wish was often expressed
that some good fortune might again re-
place our loss. Such an event has just
occurred, and we hasten to record the for-
tunataevent during our absence in the
West,fhc same kind friend who has SO
generously donated the first bell, in CON
cert with seven other gentlemen of
Pittsburgh, purchased the large and ele-
giant bell which was cast for the late Sani-
tary Fair, by Mr.. A. Fulton, of this city,
and very kindly donated it to the Farm
School at Helienople The whole matter
was managed so quietly and done so hand
somely, that the bell was ringing out its
sweet sounds through the valley of the
Cannoquenessing, before we even had an
intimidation on the subject. Many thanks
to these thoughtful friends for this new
token of their friendly cooperation
