The Worlds dispatch states the same, anC
says We hold Hagerstown, and no rebe
cavalry has been seen in Maryland.
The Tribune's dispatch also confirms th,
statement that Gen. Grant has telegraphec
that the rebel army in his front is as stron.
as ever.
No news has been received here to-nigh
from the upper Potomac. The fords Of tn,
Susquehanna river are to be fortified. Eng
neers have been sent to Harrisburg to-day,
for that purpose.
The Herald's dispatch says Gen. Huntei
has been relieved and will be succeeded BY
Gen. Crook.
The general feeling in Washington is that
the raid is about over and that when the
forces sent out shall have arrived, the rebels
will be gone. No rebels have yet crossed
the Potomac, and the evacuation of Martins
burg is considered to have been unnecessary
Il is stated that the War Department has
decided to exempt from draft such of the 90
days men as may be actually in service when
the draft takes place.
The Herad's Army Of the Potomac dis
patch says There was heavy and rapid ar
tillery firing all the morning on the 26ih and
volieys Of musketry at intervals 10 the direc-
ticn Of the front Of Gen. Foster on q e north
flank of the James river. The rebels have
been heavily reinforcing at that point for sew
eral days, suspecting that we intended to ad-
vanc' on Richmond from that direction. The
