general engagement. Not a wagon fell
into the enemys hands, aud uothing was
loft behind = Martinsburg, except some
saths which were set on fire before he left.
The impression when our Informant left
was that the rebel force will retire before
tomorrow night, as General Hunter will
be in their rear by that time with an am
pie force TO overwhelm them, if they re-
main longer a- i.-.
The principal object of this raid has
proved unsuccessful unless it be the dam
age they have done to the railroad and
canal, the collection of conscripts and the
phndering of the inhabitants.
They have not attempted to leave the
line of the Potomac, except to rob stores
at Point of Rocks, and destroying some
canal boats near Hancock.
What damage has been done to
the railroad has not as vet
been ascertained, though it is
understood that they have not retired bey-
ond Martinsburg. There is no truth in the
statement that a rebel force has been to
Boonsboro and Hagerstown, or that a raid
has been made on the railroad west of
Cumberland. General Wallace is cooper
ating with Sigel, and has secured the en-
tire protection of the road as far as Fred
erick, which is now safe.
The following is the latest from the Up-
per Potomac received up to this hour, 9
P. NJ
Some excitement was oausod at FrUylrr-
lex tais morning by the fact that slight
skirmish had occurred between our pickets
and a small squad of rebel scouts, about
half way between Frederick and Point of
Rocks, resulting in rebels retiring to Point
of Rocks.
From movements perciptible among the
enemy at Harper's Ferry to-day, it was
supposed that Hunter was pressing them
in their rear.
Nothing defninite bould be aseertained
but there is every reason to believe that
Hvnter will be heard from to some pur-
pose before long.
