From Washin9ton.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA gentleman
just returned from Cumberland Valley
reports that the people of that portion
Of Pennsylvania are still fearful Of the
extension Of the rebel raid Merchants
and bankers in the various towns have
sent their goods and treasure to distant
places for safety, even so far as Carlisle
Scarcely any necessary supplies can be
obtained, as nearly all the stores have
been closed.
Some of the families in Carlisle, to-day,
are packing most of their valuable ef-
fects for transportation. Several militia
~ companies have just been organized
at Garlic. The feeling Of tie people
seems to be such that general plan
only is necessary to rally large numbers
of the people for defensive purposes.
Alarming rumors prevail from time to
time as to the intentions Of the rebels,
bat there is nothing to establish their
truth.
The telegraph line is working to-day
from Carlisle to Hsgerstown, but there
is no news. Several families with teams,
who during last Saturday and Sunday
fed in a panic, are now returning to
their homes.
Continued alarms of rebel movements
have brought business to a stand still,
and q general organization for defense
seems actually necessary to restore COL
fdence.

Operations around Atlanta.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 4-Gen. Stoneman
sent force of cavalry, Longs and La
oranges brigades, 5000 strong, on The
10Th, under command Of Gen Ed Me
cook, to destroy the Macon and Western
road. They had destroyed Is miles Of
road and started to capture a train Of
so wagons going from Atlanta to Macon
or Columbus. MeCook captured this
train aud 500 men, including l2T Off
GERS. near Newman.
The wagons were laden with valuable
stores, including liquors and private pa
pers Of Gen. Hood and others After
possessing themselves Of what they want
ed the wagons we're burned. MeCook
started to return with the 500 men and
5000 mules, but was oyertaken BY a
force under Gen Ransom so large as TO
completely surround him. A desperate
engagement followed, duFiag which many
of MeCook's men escaped The mum.
Der OF Federals captured il is supposed
will reach 1000.
The disaster is attributed to troops
partaking too freely of the liquors found
in the captured train. Longs brigade
consisted Of the Sd ard 4th Ohio and %
and 4th regulars. Part OF Lagrange
brigade was composed Of the troops
with Gen. Rosseau in the late expedition
Forrest is reported at Atlanta, under
Hood.
2S7 Confederate prisoners reached
here last evening.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 5-Col. McCook
supposed TO nave been captured nea
Newman, has come in with 200 Of hi
men. Five hundred had previously ar
rived at Marietta, as reported
He was very successful in breaking
the Macon Railroad, capturing aud de
stroying wagon and railroad trains.
He captured 70 officer aud 500 mer
but was obliged to let them 20.
His safe return with so many Of hi
men reduces his loss very materially
and more will probably get in.
