The Law Of Reprisals.

1t Is known to our readers that on
Tuesday last resolution was passed in the
Convention of the State of Maryland, now
sitting at Annapolis, requesting the Pres
ident of the United States and the Com
mandant of the Military Department in
which Maryland is included, to author
ize and levy special reprisals on "known
sympathizers with the rebellion, residents
in the State,' for the purpose of reimburs-
ing "loyal citizens" to the amount of ''all
losses and spoliations" sustained by them
from the late invasion of Maryland The
resolution to this effect was offered by
Mr.. Schley, of Frederick, and is in the
following terms:
Ordered, That this Convention, repre-
senting the people of Maryland, hereby
respectfully request the President of the
United States and the commandant of the
military department in which Maryland is
included, as an act of justice and propile-
ty, to assess upon the sympathizers with
the rebellion, residents in this State, the
total amount of all losses and spoliations
sustained by the loyal citizens of the Uni
ted States, resident in this State, by rea-
son of the recent rebel raid, to compen-
safe loyal sufferers"

tion was taken by yeas and nays as fol.

WAR NEWS,

The military authorities of this Department
have received information Of battle fought on
last Sunday at Winchester, Va, between the
Union forces under Gen. Crook, Gen. Averill
and Colonel Mnlligan, and the rebel forces under
General Breckenridge apd Early. A portion Of
General Hunters forces were alse engaged in the
fight. The battle commenced at IL o'clock In
the morning, and lasted till night when the
Union commanders, ascertaining that the enemy
%aFa heiagg~ strongly reinforced, reTiled towards
Harper's Ferry. Gen. Averill and Colonel Null
ligan are said to have been killed, but this needs
confirmation. Yesterday Martinsburg was occu-
pied by the enemy. Trains on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad are not running further than
Harper's Ferry, and those on the other end of
the road stop at Cumberland.
Dispatches reported to have been received by the
government represent that the battle fought on
Friday last in Atlanta, was commenced by the
enemy, who held the largest part of the city, as
sauting with great fury the works of Gen. Sher-
mans army. Three corps of the Union army
were engaged in the conflict, viz: the 18th 10th
aud 18th, commanded respectfully by Generals
Blair, Dodge aud Logan.
The 18th and l7th corps constituted the army
of Maj. Gen. Mcpherson, who, whilst reconnoi-
tering, was shot by sharpshooter just before
the battle. The struggle ended in the repulse of
of the enemy at every point, with loss estima-
ted at over G,0O0 in killed and wounded. The
loss of the Union army it is stated, will reach
about 2, 500 in killed and wounded. Saturday
was devotedto the burial Of the dead of both ar
mics and the removing Of the wounded, under
fag-oftruce arrangement. Whilst the work was
going on Gen. Sherman's heavy artillery was
playing upon the city.
An Associated Press telegram from Washing
ton last night says that there is no official infor-
nation to show that The Union forces have en-
tered Atlanta.
telegram from ST. Louis states that the arrest
in that city Of several very prominent secessonsts
was in consequence of the discovery of their con-
ncction with a conspiracy extending throughout
the entire Mississippi Valley, and having for its
OIL jet the erection of Northwestern Confedera-
cy.
A dispatch from Nashville, dated on Monday,
announces that General Sherman still maintains
his position and is vigorously advancing his lines.
General Rosseau's expedition returned to Mariet-
ia, having destroyed all the railroad bridges north
of Montgomery and twenty miles south of it, with
a loss of only twelve men. An expedition to
Covington, forty miles east CT Atlanta, under
General Garraid, has also been very successful,
having destroyed the public stores, including
1000 bales of cotton, train of cars, tie bridges,
&C., and captured two hundred prisoners and
number of horses

A NORTHERN CoNFEDERACY PROPOSED.

A DANGEROUS CONSPIRACY DISCOVERED.
A NORTHERN ooNFEDERACY PROPOSED.
ST. LOUIS, July 23.-Much surprise
was created here short time since by the
arrest of several very prominent secession
lists of this city, whose offence was I'M
known. 1t has lately come light, howev-
err, that they were connected with coa-
spiracy extending throughout the entire
Mississippi Valley, having for its object
the erection of Northwestern Confedera-
cy. Col. Sauaersou, the provost marshal
general of this department, has been gath
criug evidence in the matter for several
mouths, which is in possession of the
Washington authorities. 1t duplicates
several public men, and shows the organi-
zation to have been formed a dangerous
one. One of the arrested parties here is
said to have been so badly frightened that
bond of half million of dollars had
been Offered for his release.
1t is believed that the recent guerilla
movements in this State have some con-
nection with this scheme, particularly as
Thornton, in his speech at Platte City,
said that the Knights of the Golden Cir
Gle were organized aud armed to rise
throughout the free States; that Vallan-
digbam was with them that he was a
Vallandigham man that he had troops
in every county in the State, and men
coming up from the South; and that IF.
teen hundred men had been raised in Hi.
nois, who would join hun, destroying the
Honoibai and St. joseph railroad in their
march.
During Col. Sanderson's investigation
Of this conspiracy, he discovered the in.
tended renewal of boat burning on the
Western rivers, and was able in several 10.
stances to avert serious consequences
The whole matter will probably be venti
lated in few days.

a Heart-Rending Story.

The Frankfort (German) journals are
teeming now with reports of trial which
was being held in that city, and which
has revealed tale of misery surprising
that which any sensation novelist has
penned. The arraigned criminal was wo-
man in her tweuty-Gfth year, named Ju-
liza Krapt, who was charged with the crime
of triple infanticide. Notwithstanding her
youth she looks fully fifty, SO wrinkled
with hardships OF every kind is her face,
aud so bent beneath the weight of IRE
her form. Her husband, who was an en-
graver, committed suicide three years
since, leaving her with three young chill
dren, aud nothing to support them.
The poor woman worked late and early
for them. She took in washing and she
took in sewing; but owing to the low rate
OF wages she received she could not sue.
coed, with all her industry, to drive the
wolf from the door. But her situation
became desperate when work failed alto
gether, and sore foot prevented the uu-
fortunate woman from going to seek more.
Then came the landlord, who, finding her
wretched sticks of furniture would not, if
distrained, pay weeks rent, ordered the
tenant to leave the premises. What to
do then she knew not; and one evening,
as the children became clamorous for
bread, she made up her mind to suffocate
herself and them with a piece of charcoal
which she borrowed from a neighbour
This ueighbor shortly after went to Julia
krapt's lodgings, aud found her still
living aud all the children dead. When
arrested and brought to trial, the unfortu-
nate woman, with tears streaming down
her cheeks, said she could not regret what
she had done, because it was more merci.

PRICES OF REAL ESTATE In New

PRICES OF REAL ESTATE In New
IoRK.-A letter from New York says:
"An impression seems to have got
abroad that the prices in this city are uu.
dergoing rapid and steady decline, but
the facts, as | am assured on careful iu-
quiry at the proper sources, are just the
other way. Property could have been
bought short time since for about the
same as before the war, with the excep-
ton of fancy properties on Murray Hill,
Fifth avenue and Madison square, which,
instead of going down, are sold for more
than they were six months ago. Houses
that last spring commanded $4,000 to
s35 900, are not to be had at $4,000 to
$4,000. The last house sold on Fifth
aveoue, % by 100, for which $4,000 was
asked in the spring, with its furniture, has
recently been sold for 10000; a house in
Twenty-third street, for which $4,000
was asked, has recently been sold for S62,-
900; house in Thirty eighth street,
which sold for 5000, SAL 700 is now
offered. 10 fact, the price of labor is SO
high and 6rst-class houses so scarce that al
most any price within reason can be OBJ
tanned, and there is good demand for
them from persons coming from all Sec
tons of the country to srttle here"

Arrival of Confederate Prisoners at Ell.


The Elmira Advertiser says the train
containing the Rebel prisoners not killed
at Laekawaxen reached that place on Sat
urday night. They numbered about eight
hundred. Lieutenant Colonel Eastman,
commandment at the post, with wise fore
sight, had made every preparation for tho
reception of the iDjured as we'll as the un-
injured. He had ordered twelve military
baggage wagons, the bottoms deeply lined
with hay, to be iu readiness TO re-
ceive the Rebel wounded. The work was
easily accomplished by u detachment of
colored substitutes, in case of all who were
unable to move themselves, while those
who were able to walk aud help them
selves in measure were carefully helped
by their comrades and others to their pla-
ces 10 the wagons.
AS soon as the wounded had been COM
fortably removed to the wagons, the pro-
cessiou started for barracks No. 3, where
a warm, comfortable meal was in readi-
ness for prisoners and guards, who had
been compelled to pass through SO much
suffering, fatigue and hunger for the past
thirty-six hours.
A barrack building was set apart for the
wounded, and their condition made as COM
Portable as possible by tho surgeons. 1t
was found that of the Rebels eighty-fvo
were wounded slightly and severely
There were seven fractured thighs and Eve
fractured legs. The rest were suffering
from contusons aud flesh wounds, severe
about the face, and general injuries.
The casualties from the accident, as near
as we can ascertain, sum up as follows =
Killed outright and buried near where the
accident occurred, of the Rebels, forty
eight. Left behind at Lackawaxcn, una
BILE to be moved or brought on by train, fif-
teen. Brought en- by the train, eighty
FIVE. Making in killed and wounded one
hundred and forty-eight. OF our men of
the veteran reserve corps, in killed and
buried at the place of accident, seventeen.
Brought on and in the hospital suffering
only from bruises aud COMMISSIONS, ten
Left behind, unable to be moved, eight
Making in all, thirty five.
Scarcely a guard escaped destruction
who was standing on the platforms be-
tween the cars. Oae found himself in an
oatfcld severely bruised, after the acct
dept, while his companions were crushed
instautly. The muskets were broken and
mashed, and the barrels twisted and bent
double. These were brought along as sad
relies. The passenger cars of the train,
some sixteen in number, were completely
demolished, aud another NEW train had to
be made up of common box cars, spread
with straw at the bottom, upon which the
inmates managed to ride the best way they
could.
