REBELS RETREATIN
sKIRMIsHING IN FRONT OF FORT
LINCOLN LAST NIGHT.
No Enemy Within Three Miles Of the
Defences To-day.

It is stated at Headquarters this forenoon
that there are no rebels within three miles Of
our defences. Where they have gone seems a
little doubtful. 1t Is the impression OF some
officers from the front that they were moving
towards Baltimore; others say the Potomac
river.
They were informed by their spies In this
city, no doubt, of the preparations on foot to
receive them, and they have found 1t expedient
to retire from our line OF offensive and de-
fenslve works.
We hear that there was considerable skir-
mlshing In front OF Fort Lincoln last night.
According to the accounts we have received,
our administers drove the rebels back three
quarters OF mile, when they rallied with rein
forcements aud pushed our skirmish line back
under the guns OF the fort.
Everything thus far goes to show that the
theory we advanced at first was correct, viz:
that the demonstration made In front OF our
defences was merely cover to the operations
Of marauding aud rstdliato'y parties.
We have had a general in Baltimore who al.
lowed a corporals guard to burn down the
mansion OF tho Governor Of the Common.
wealth, four or Ave miles from the city. They
probably knew through Baltimore spies what
they might do with impunity, and with force

between Baltimore and Philadelphia and Balti

What the ultimate purpose of this rebe
movement is, we are not yet prepared to say

l. The delay among the Democrats In nomi-
mating either platform or candidate, signi-
fes one thing, namelyI that Mcclellan Ia
dropped, and that, If Grant is successful, they
Grant may be wise enough to prefer his lieu
tenant generalship to the chance OF presl-

Mcclellan understands that his day Is done,
and Is making patriotic speeches by way OF
paving his way home. -. ....
II. Meantime every rational person compre-
hends that the whole meaning of the Fremont
movement Is the hope of certain persons doing
Just as they did formerly, when they elected
Polk and annexed Texas. Whether the demo-
Gratis helped them with money, then or now,
will be question for the historian. Probably
they were more fool than rogue. r--
III. Let us suppose that Lee was In Della
ware, on tue north 81 de of Wilmington, his
gunboats master Of the lower Delaware and
caster; that Forrest held Cairo, 81. Louis and
Chicago, while his guuboats kept our side Of
the lakes and the 81. Lawrence under tight
blockade; that Johnston was within twenty
miles of Fort Wayne, while Sherman, not
yenturing 10 face him In the field, was strug-
Cling TO hold ground behind entrench-
ments; that Semmes was blockading from the
Chesapeake TO the B.. Croix, and that Con-
federate guns on Staten lslard were hlnging
shells into New York; and that gold was
worth about two thousand per cent In this
conjuncture, certain Southerners should take
to asserting that the condition of the Confed-
crates was hopeless, aud that all to bo done
was to ask armistice and make shAmeful and
ruinous peace. What would be said YET
this is no more than "Diutaiis nutdRdiS," and

copp rh..d version or,h, Raid.

This is what the copperhead Baltimore cor
respondent Of the New York World says of the
rebel raid, in which apparently the wish is
father to the thought:"
"The plan OF Lee is simply this to move to
Harper's Ferry, with the main body of his
army, through the Shenandoah valley, while
Gen! Beauregard defends Richmond with his
corps Of $4,000 trsops and the local militia.
Gen. Beauregard Will evacuate Petersburg and
retire with his co ps to the southern defenses
of Richmond, whenever Gen. Lee follows, with
the remainder of his army, that portion which
has already moved up the Shenandoah valley.
That portion 10 the whole OF Gen. Ewell's
corps, $1,000 strong; the cavalry under Major
Gen. Ransom, which, including Imboden and
Mosby, exceeds Is 900 men; aud Gen. Breckin-
ridges division, ~ 900 strong. This makes q
force Of 81 900 men. Il has not all reached the
Potomac yet. The object Of the plan can be
seen at once. 1t is TO save Richmond 1t ID
10 compel Gen. Grant TO abandon the siege Of
their capital. They believe that Washington
is now comparatively defenceless, anu that the
most effectual way TO defend their capital is to

The rebel raid has failed deaccomplishlng the
raising the seige Of Petersburg and Richmond, II
that was Its object, and It seems to have culmi-
mated In the plundering Of the richest counties
10 Maryland and cutting the railroads between
Washington and Baltimore and the North.
Now, that the rebels are said to be retreatlng,
many people are filled with the notion that they
had but small and comparatively insignifl-
cant force In this expedition. II is certain /,
however, that they were able 10 extend their
lines beyond Baltimore, and TO overpower our
troops whenever they attempted to give them
battle in Maryland. -...
Wallace and Ricketts, were compelled to fall
back from Monocacy and Ellicott's Mills and
the rebel cavalry were able to move in almost
any direction they choose. They could not
have accomplished all they have done with q
small force. ,
The best military authorities estimate their
numbers at 1000 Of all arms. . ....- 3D..
That they were handled by experienced
leaders is evident, while 1t Is true, also, that
they had the advantage Of, secret aid in all the

is certain. ,...., .....- -.....,.

DrssEABLrSG.-In the height OF the late
Alabama excitement in England, a deal Of
amusement was created one morning on . the
Liverpool Exchange, In consequence of some
wags having dressed up notorious pierhead
character known as Captain Bill Brock, ;" and
paraded him up from the great landing stage
as the veritAble Captain Semmes. The per.
sonal appearance OF Captain Bill" resem-
bling very much the photograph OF the famoas
Confederate cruising captsin; and rs Captain
Semmes was expected In Liverpool the cell
took amazingly. Hundreds of people followed
Bill through the streets, and, ss he was kept
In the dark concerning the part he was playing
In the hoax for some time, the affair ended In a
most laughable dsnouemsnt.
Capt. Bill was Justify cheered wherever he
appeared; but, when some enthusiastic AdmireI
OF the AlaSama's commander cried out, sThree
cheers for Capt. Semmes," Bill smelt powder,
and taking to his heels was never overhauled
until he was safely docked In his lodgings of
Oldhall street. The lark passed of with the
utmost good humor, and both the partisans
OF the North and South seemed to enjoy the
fun.

II was stated In our paper Of Thursday last,
that on the 18th instant the President Of the
oited States Informed Cos. Seymour, OF New
York, that an insurgent force, estimated at
from fifteen thousand to twenty thousand
strong, had invaded Maryland and taken Mar
tinsburg aud Harper's Ferry, and were threat
ening other points, that the public safety
required call upon the State Executives for
militia force TO repel the invasion; and that he
called upon the State Of New York for twelve
thousand militia, as Its quota, to serve one
hundred days.
Instead OF Immediately summonlng the vol
unteer force OF New York city to meet this
sudden requIsition Of the President under an
unexpected emergency, we understand that
Governor Seymour proceeded from New York
city on the day after It's official reception 10
Albany, and there determined to make draft
on all the counties In the State for the purpose
OF furnishing in this way the contingent asked.
But, as the twelve thousand men were asked
| In order to meet an "emergency," Il Is obvious
that this method Of meeting it was practically
70 ignore and defeat the object Of the President
In making the extraordinary call. II the Gov.
ernor was trammeled by the Law, II is certain
that there is no law which forblds the accept,

lieye that the required number Of volunteers
could have been procured In twenty four hours
II the Governor had Issued an appropriate
| summons.
| In matter involving the safety of the ma
| tional capital 1t seems impossible TO conceive
that Gov. seymour could have allowed any po
litical objection TO stand In the way Of cheer
ful performance Of public duty and yet II will
be obvious to all that the manner In which h,
has responded TO the Presidents extraordinary
call must subject him to the blame Of PrActi
cally defeating II. His conduct on this occa
sion Is the more extraordinary because II stand
