BALTIMORE, July 2T.-ltis extreme
ly difficult to obtain any authentic in
formation relative to affairs on the
Upper Potomac, and rebel movements
in the Valley. BY far the greater
part of the rumors, and even positive
statements are false, and therefore not
worth repeating. From all informa-
ltion thus far obtained, it is believed
that it will be found that the rebel
force at present in the Valley, and re-
ported to be at Martinsburg and 9TH
er points, is none other than the re-
cent force of raiders, who finding that
they were no longer pursued by any
large force here, suddenly turned and
fallen upon our small force, under
Gen. Crook, with the object of driving
him back beyond the Potomac and
freeing the valley from Federal troops,
so as to he enabled to gather the crops
of the valley, so vitality important to
Lees army.
Doubtless it is their purpose also
to do all the mischief they can north
of the Potomac, and it is possible may
attempt raid In the southern eoun-
ties Of Pennsylvania.
1t is believed tonight that the wild
stories so extensively circulated here
last night and to-day, of disaster tc
our forces in encountering the rebe
advance, have little foundation IN fact
The telegraph line is working wes'
as far as Hsrper's Ferry, but is in the
service # the military authorities.
Trains are running regularly to Fred
erick and Harpcr's Ferry.
HARRIsBuRG, July 26.--Major-Gen
Couch ha9 advised the State authori
ties to receive all the companies ten
dered for one years service, and tc
attach them temporarily to organiza
tions of hundred days men.
All quiet on the Upper Potomac to.

A prominent physician says; I'm
my practice | have noticed that those
children who become i'll and die in the
spring and summer have fallen victims
to the thoughtlessness of parents who
stuff them with roast and fresh meat
at n occasion when their stomachs
required vegetable diet easily digest
ed and equally nutritious. | have
saved lives of more children by rec
ommending farinaceous and veg.
etable food than | ever did by dosing
them with disagreeable medicines"

All was quiet in the Army of the
Potomac OH Saturday except in front
of Burnside's corps, upon which the
rebels were necessarily firing. No
damage has been done. The reason
of these special attentions is, that
Burnside has large number of negro
soldiers, who are the objects of the
most bitter hate on the part of the
rebels. General Birney has been
appointed to the command of the 10Th
Army Corps, and General Ord to that
OF the 18th, as successor to General
"Baldy" Smith.

can say in regard to it, that it is with
