IHiLADELrHA, July 27.
The telegraph lines to Baltimore being
under an embargo by the Government. we
avail ourselves Of the following informa.
lion, derived from well informed gentle
man OF that city, in regard to the impor-
tant movements now transpiring on the
Upper Potomac.
with the particulars Of the abandon
ment of the pursuit of the raiders hy the
Sixth Corps, the public are familiar. 1t
is now clearly ascertained that as soon as
the TACT OF the return OF the Sixth Corps
towards Washington was commenced, the
rebels availed themselves of the important
advantage thus presented, and their rear
fell upon Gen. Crooks command near
Winchester, with such overpowerinr
numbers ms to compel that gallant officer
tos sretreat, losing considerable number
Of men in killed and wounded and pris-
oners, as well as 0 few guns. The loss in
men is estimated at 1000.
From all that our informant could
gather there werc but fow guns lost tho
there seems to be some doubt that the
enemy did capture some.
With regard 10 The reported death OF
Gep. Kelly, it is sufficient to say that he
was not with Gen. Crooks, but was, and
still is, at Cumberland.
Gen. Mulligan's death was still reported
at Baltimore yesterday, but there is no au-
then tic information on the subject.
" ith regard TO the strength OF the enc
my, The most reliable estimates of the
entire force composing the recent raiding
column, do not make it more than lG 900
or II 600 men, making the whole strength
Of the rebel force now in the valley and
upon the borders of the Upper Potomac
between 25 900 and 10000 men of all
arms.
This force is understood to be COM
manded by Gen. A. p. Hill, Gen. Early
having been obliged to retire from active
duty on account Of his wound breaking
out arresh, and it is said he has been as
signed to the command of the Richmond
district.
AS to the designs OF the rebel force now
on the borders of Maryland, for it is be-
lieved that up TO this time they have not
crossed the Potomac at least in any force.
all is conjecture.
The most probable view is, that they
will attempt an extensive raid into Penn
syIvania, and by making great show of
strength endeavor to force Gen. Grant to
send away more Of his army from before
Petersburg.
In corro3oration Of the opinion express
sed as to the strength of the rebel force,
our informant states that Gen. Crooks re-
ported that the rebel line of battle con-
fronting him extended four miles.
