tanooga correspondent of the 18th, says:
Sherman is not pushing Hood, but rather
managing, If possible, to coop him up in
the valley and starve him to death. Hood

fight. He attempted to sneak back through

THIRD DISPATCH,

WASHINGTON, July 6.
Letters received here to-day from VIM.
E. Davis, late correspondent of the Cinciu-
natl Gazette, who is in Castle Thunder, Rich
mond, speak of Brown and Richardson,
but knows nothing of them, except that
they are in Salisbury, and haven't much
prospect of getting out snon.
As stated some days ago in these dis
patches, the extra war tax on incomes, is
to be levied on incomes for 1861 and 1862.
This leaves out large numbers of clerks and
others, and gives considerable less revenue
in the aggregate than if it had been levied
as is believed to have been intended, on the
income ofthis year.
Over a hundred of Grants guns cover
Petersburg and he could destroy the city
any day he pleased. 1t would be a very
nsele11 performance, however, and would
in no way advance US toward Richmond
or the rebel army.
The heat continues intense and the sol
diers are suffering severely.

The sinking Of the Alabama.

The Asia reached Liverpool on the 18th
The report brought by the Arabia that the
rebel cruiser Alabama had gone out from
Cherbourg to fight the U. 5. steamer kear-
sage, which was lowering off that port
turned out to be true, and resulted IN the
sinking Of the Alabama. The encounter
was witnessed by the English steam yacht
Deerhound, and that vessel picked up Cap
tain Semmes and the crew Of the Alabama,
took them to Cowes, and furnished the fol-
| lowing details
On the morning of Sunday, the 18th, at
| 1890 A. NJ, the Alabama was observed
steaming out Of the Cherbourg harbor to-
asds the Kearsage. At ll;I0 the Alabama
commenced the action by firing with her
starboard battery at a distance of about a
mile. The Kearsage also opened fire i'm
mediately with her starboard guns, and
sharp engagement with rapid firing from
both ships was kept up. Both vessels
made seven complete circles at a distance
Of from quarter to half a mile. AT II o.
clock the firing from the Alabama was OBJ
served to slaeken, and she appeared to be
making head sail and shaping her course
for land which was distant about nine
miles At 1890 ths Confederate vessel
was in a disabled and sinking state.
The Deerhounp Immediately made to-
wards her, and in passing the Kearsage
was requested to assist in saving the crew
| of the Alabama When the Deerhonnd
was still at a dist2nce of 100 yards, the
Alabama sank, and the DeerhOund hen
lowered her boats, and with the assistance
of those of the Alabama succeeded in saw
ing thirty men, including Semmes and
thirty officers
The Alabama's loss in killed and wound
ed is as follows: Drowned, one officer and
one man; killed, siz men; wounded, one Of
| fcer and sixteen men: Captain Semmes
was slightly wounded in the hand. The
Kearsage's boats were lowered, and with
the assistance of the French pilot succeed
ed in picking sup the remainder Of the
crew.
The Morning Herald says the Alabama
was terribly in want of repairs. Her
copper was strengthened to such an ex-
tent as to deprive her of her only advantage
superiority Of speed, while the Kearsage
was fresh from port, add kept purposely in
in order for the contingency Of an en-
counter with the Alabama. The Alabama
was, however, from the first overmatched
the crew Of the Kearsage consisted of $50
to her l2O, and the Kearsage carried two
lO0-pounders.. 1t is stated that a formal
challenge to fight was given by the Kear-
sage and accepted by Captain Semmes.
According to some accounts the Kear-
sage had sustained considerable damage,
ner sides torn spen and show te chain
plating. II

FROM WASHINGTON.
Special to the Cleveland Leader.
FIRST DISPATCH.


WASHINGTON, July 6.-9P.M
The Presidents proclamation. about
Kentucky is generally interpreted to mean
that, whoever stands inishe way Of arrnin g
negro slaves, will have bad time of it in
resisting.
Foolish stories are in circulation about
the rebels being in the vicinity of the
Chain Bridge, but they are so evidently
the fabrications of some scared sensational
ist that nobody pays the slightest attention
to them. The general expectation is that
the raid will be practically over by to-mor-
row, and that it will then be seen to have
failed in everything but its horse stealing.
The War Department takes things very
composedly, and has from the first express
ed no apprehension whatever.
Our special correspondent in the field
promises to forward, later in the night,
full details of the fighting at Harper's
Ferry
The inhabitants of Maryland and
Pennsylvania are as usual in dreadful
state of excitement. There may be a
more scary set of towards somewhere else
in the country than along this border, but
if SO they have not yet been been heard
from. The news of the appearance of the
rebels caused no little excitement at
Frederick. All Government property,
and the sick and wounded were removed
at once from the hospitals. The excite
ment at Hagerstown on Sunday night
and Monday morning was intense. The
merchants were intently engaged in send
ing their goods into the interior of Penn
sylvania, over the Hagerstown & Cham
bersburg Railroad, which was still in run
ming order. In consequence of the
severe LOSSES heretofore sustained
by the merchants of the town, ana In anti
cipation Of the possibility of another raid.
They have but small stocks of goods on
hand and were the rebels to visit Hagers-
town with the expectation of getting any
amount of supplies they would be greatly
disappointed. The cashiers of the Hagers-
town and Washington county banks have
removed the effects of their banks to Har-
risburg for safety. The millers of Wash
ington courtyard there are large numbers,
are also sending their -four out Of harms
way. Here, in Washington everything is
as quiet as May morning. This town IS
used to scares, and half of Lees army
could hardly get up an excitement.
Fessenden's first days work in the
Treasury Department is humorously de-
scribed as signing great batch of an
swers to letters he had never read, and
from people he had never heard of Moth
ing else was done and nothing except
study into the working of the huge ma
chine is expected for some little time.

FREDERICK JUNCTION, Suly 6.
All isquiet at Harper's Ferry. Last
night an occasional shot was fred from
Maryland Heights
The rebels still hold Bolivar Heights.
General SigeI has evacuated Harpers
Ferry, but the rebels dare not enter the
town for fear of our garrison on Maryland
Heights, which command that place.
Dispatches has just come in from Fred
erick Station stating that the lines between
that place and Hagerstown were cut and
that body of rebel cavalry were reported
to be within four miles of Frederick. They
are reported to be skirmishing with body
of our cavalry which were sent out to in
tercept their progress. 3.
Major-General Wallace has established
his heaquarters at this place and is giving
his personal attention to movements. He
is sending aid to SigeI wherever needed.
The whole rebel force is not believed to
be over G,OO0, and that only their cavalry
have yet crossed the Potomac.
The Rebel Sharpshooters hold Loudon
Heights, opposite Harpers Ferry, from
which they command the railroad for
about a mile on this side oftbe Ferry As
yet they have done US no damage, howev-
er, beyond wounding fireman and killing
one woman.
At this time slirmish appears to be
going on a little beyond Frederick. Thus
far the rebels have developed no plan, 9th
er than that of thieving. There need be
no apprehension as to the results as steps
have already been taken which will
speedily terminate the enterprise.

FROM BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, July 6.
The Evening American has the follow
ing review of the situation.
An intelligent agent arrived this morn
ing from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry,
and states that it is now definitely ascer-
tanned that the whole force of the enemy
does not exceed 6, 1000 men, of whom less
than one thousand are cavalry, and the
balance infantry. They are concentrating
in and around Harper's Ferry, and are
sending out foraging parties to forage on
the people robbing them of their watches
and money.
There was some skirmishing going on
between onr troops and the rebels across
the river, and occasionally shot and shell
were being thrown at them from the Ma
ryland Heights.
Tne fight Gf General MuIligan with the
advance of the rebels at Leetown is spok-
en- Of as most gallant. He successfully re-
pulsed them several times.

town with his immense wagon train IN

Of more importance than the risking of 8
