New YORK, July l5th.-A special to the
New York Tribune sends information which
was received at Washington concerning the
invasion, from which it appears that Halleck
| on the 9TH intercepted a letter from a rebe
Colonel, saying that Ewel's corps with
| Hampton's cavalry, making over $4,000 men
! was ordered north of Harper's Ferry; that
Washington was almost destitute aud poorly
defended by militia, and that that force
would be ample to take the city. Washing.
ton was to be attacked Sunday night, but
the movement was delayed till Monday when
Early received such information as made
him abandon the attempt, causing great dis
satisfaction among his subordinate officers
and men.
The Herald's special says, advises from
the Upper Potomac confirm the reports OF
the retreat of the rebels into Virginia. Our
artillery shelled the rebels rear last evening
| and some stragglers were taken, but it was
impossible to intercept the main body. They
were at Wilson's farm. Five hundred and
seventy prisoners were taken at Monocacy.
The Tribune's Wasi ington special says II
| is estimated that the rebels secured ten thou
sand head of cattle and horses, besides
droves of sheep and hogs, which they got
across the Potomac while threatening Wash
! ington.

wasted brigades Of veterans Of the Sixth
| Corps made sad havoc among them.
BALTIMORE, July l5.-Our cavalry made a
| thorough examination of the country i'll this
vicinity, but could not find any armed enemy
anywhere.
WASHINGTON, July l5.-Iti is not positively
| known whether all the rebels have crossed
the Potomac-reports being conflicting. II
is certain, however, that small parties OF
them have re-entered Virginia, travelling
with their plunder over the various roads
| leading through Loudon county towards
Smokers and Ashby's Gaps. A large force
of our troops are in pursuit.
1t is reported that breckenridge and staff
wore in Leeshurg an Wednesday morning,
experimenting the movements Of the enemy.
A number Of their stragglers have been
picked up by our troops.
CHICAGO, June l6.-A Washington special
dispatch says: Our cavalry came up with the
| rebel rear on Wednesday morning. Brisk
skirmiShing ensued, lasting for 4 few hours.
The number of killed and wounded have not
been ascertained. General Bradley Johnson
was said TO have been wounded and captured
but subsequently rescued by the rebels.
WAsHINGToN, July l6.-Ther0 is no con-
6rmatiop of the report that the rebels are
running trains to Manassas. The City has
reshmed its usual quietude, but there is evi.
New YORK, July l6.-fhe Herald's cor
respondent, in the field on the 18th, says
Capt. Shatfer'S cavalry expedition has just
returned to camp. This expedition having
for its object the opening and maintaining
communication with Suffolk and Bowers
Hill, and that region of rebel country left
here some days since, and has accomplished
its object. The command met with little op-
position either going and coming, save from
guerrillas, whom they eifectually wiped out.
They captured rebel quartermaster, and en-
camped for a period Of two days just outside
of Suffolk, without molestation, and returned
safely, without loss or serious damage of any
kind. The raid developed the fact that the
greatest possible destitution prevails in Sui-
folk, and throughout the surrounding coun-
try. Corn, for instance, is held at $500 per
barrel, and other pecessaries Of life in pro-
portion. The expedition brought in a num-
Der of horses, mules and negroes.
The Herald's correspondent says that Ad-
miral Lee, of the James river squadron, has
gone to North Carolina Sands on an inspect
ing tour.
Two representatives OF Napoleon are with
the army as observers.
LOUISVILLE, July l5.-It was reported for
some days that S. B. Buckner is at the head
of a large rebel force, and is moving in 4 di-
rect line for this State, with the intention OF
making a raid into Eastern Kentucky. 1t
is said his force, numbering $4,000, left the
main army in Virginia some time since,
with the intention OF entering this State by
way Of Pound Gap. That such move
ment is on foot is generally believed, but
from information that can be gathered we
are satisfied that he has not gone into the
State yet.
Accounts from Lexington report great cx-
citement in Eastern Kentucky. Persons are
leaving that part of the State, and bringing
Moro Vessels TO go after the Florida.
The Tribune's special says, more vessels
are to be sent after the Florida. Several
prominent seceSh sympathisers have been
arrested at Bladensburg, and sent to the old
Capitol Prison.
The Commercial says, Governor Curry, Of
Maine, has telegraphed to the President to
send him the gunboats DecaStino and East
port, Us there is raid anticipated from
Brunswick on the frontier. The President,
it is understood, complied with the request
and telegraphed to this city to have the yes-
sells dispatched Immediately.
