The Fourth in the Field.

The special correspondence ofthe Times from
the ARMY of the Potomac states that salutes
were fired morning, noon and night OF the
Fourth, from double-shotted guns, right into the
teeth of the enemy, who made no reply. The
regimental and brigade bands taking advanced
positions played national airs before and after
saluting, but no responsive music came IRON the
enemy's lines The rebels evidently have lost
all respect for the "Glorious Fourth. ="

Admiral Lee commanding the North Atlantic
Blockading Squadron, in dispatch to the Navy
Department, dated July lst, states that since the
18th of July, 1863, forty-two steamers have been
captured or destroyed by the blockaders of his
squadron. Taking the average tonnage of the
vessels at three hundred tons, and assuming the
capacity of our army wagons at one ton, there
has been loss inflicted on the rebel supply
system equivalent to the capture or destruction
of train of twelve thousand WAGONS

Dispatch from General Sherman

Brigaidier General Webster, commanding at
Nashville, has received telegram from Gen.
Sherman, July 9th, saying: @Our army rests
its wings on the Chattahoochie above and below
the bridge. The main rebel army is across;
only one corps-Hardee's-re on this side,
occupying the tete du pOnt. The weather is
very bad. We have driven the enemy from the
strong positions at Kinesaw, and Smyrna, and
camped five miles south of Marietta. We have
taken about 1000 prisoners. Our pickets are
on the river bank of Prices Ferry, and at the
mouth of Nickaiack.'

A SKIRMIsH BETWEEN UNION SAILORS
AND REBEL SoLDIERs.-The naval mail boat
Leslie arrived at Washington on the 7th
from the lower Potomac.
A few days since Captains Streeter and
Hooker, with a small force of seamen, had
a skirmish with number of Rebels, on the
shores of the Rappahannock. They capt
ured Rebel Captain, Lieutenant, and one
private. The Rebels captured four of our
seamen. They afterwards wanted to ex-
change prisoners, but as our party outrank-
ed theirs, bargain could not be effected.

RECRUITING IN INsURGENT STATES

RECRUITING IN INSURGENT STATES.
The statement that clause in the new
Enrolment bill, passed on the 2Sth ult.,
by the House of Representatives, author
lied the executive of any State to recruit in
insurgent States, will be received by the
| community with great satisfaction.
To-day We are paying for men drawn, on
the one side, from our industrious and pat
riotic classes, and on the other from our
roughs, and by means of our bounty Jump
ers, not less than S625 besides the 500 of
the United States bounty; and this at a
time when there are 100000 blacks, and
nearly as many loyal or Indifferent whites
in the rebellious states, to whom half the
sum, or the $500 commutation money
would serve as a cogent motive for enlist
ing in our armies.
While it was doubtful how negroes would
fight and how public opinion in the army
and elswhere would regard their employ
ment as soldiers, there might have been
some question as to the policy, of this meas
ure so far as it related to the blacks. But
it is now settled that the negro makes a
good soldier, that the army and the public
generally, are read y to welcome the en-
ployment of black troops, and it is plainly
the duty of the Government to use the ne
gro so far as possible, to put down the re-
bellion and keep it under when once down.
As to the recruiting of whites in the in
surgent states, there can be no doubt as to
the advantages it promises.
The measure is ofthe utmost importance
There are six reasons for it being put speed
lily into effect, each one of which is of con-
vincing force:
i. 1t will fill up the ranks of our armies
at less cost than they can be filled in any
other way.
2. 1t will weaken the force of the enemy
in still greater proportion than it strength
ems our own.
3. 1t will relieve the north from the
drain of men, while it will give employ
ment and sustenance to large class at the
south who will thus be brought most eff
ectually on to the Union side.
4. twill give great resources to the ref
ugees who would otherwise, in great num-
bers, require to be aided by humane ef-
forts.
5. 1t will open a way for the negroes
from slavery and dependence to liberty
and manhood
6. 1t will be practical measure of
emancipation.

Capt. semrnes of the British Neutral service

As the Confederates never had a navy,
were never able to build an effective wal
vessel, and therefore never had any real
grounds for issuing naval commission, the
pirate Semmes can scarcely be called a cap
tain of the Confederate service. Neverthe,

rHE REREL INvAsI0N.

The robel invasion of Maryland has proved
TO be of a more serious nature than we antici-
I pated last week, but the country is yet measure
ably in the dark as to the numbers of the reb-
els, their designs, or the amount of damage they
have done to the country through which they
have passed. The most reliable reports places
their numbers at from 20, 900 to 30, 000-from
5000 to 5000 of whom are Cavalry They
crossed the PotOmacat the fords above Harper S
Ferry, and passed through Frederick, Hagers-
town and other places ON their line of march
| They stripped the country through which they
passed of every thing in the way OF horses,
cattle, grain, provisions, dry goods, DC, and
levied heavy contributions of money upon the
citizens of the various towns. They also rob
bed many citizens of their money and valua-
bles. They showed no partiality between 10y
al and disloyalpersons, robbing from all alike.
On Saturday last fight took place at Monocacy
Bridge between rebel force of l8, 600 strong,
and Union force of 10000. The battle lasted
from 8 A. NJ till p NJ, when our forces were
compelled to fall back with loss of nearly l. 900
in killed, wounded, and missing The loss of
the rebels not known but supposed to be at
least as heavy as ours. From this point the
rebels moved towards Washington, cutting tel
egraph lines, destroying railroads, and captur-
ing two trains of passenger cars which they
burnt. Major Gen. Franklin was captured on
one of these trains, butts reported to have since
escaped Gen. Tyler had previously been cap
tured, but managed to get away and is safe
Railroad and telegraphic communication with
Washington was interrupted for about 80 hours,
which led the timid and weak kneed to fear
that that city would be captured, but both the
railroad and the telegraph were repaired on
Wednesday, and were in working order.
No fears are entertained for the safety of the
Capital, and the efforts now making to punish
the rebels must prove successful. They cannot
retreat by the way they came, for we have large
forces in their immediate rear, and Gen. Hunter
holds the Shenandoah valley and the route
fords and passes by which they entered Mary
land. If they fail to effect crossing above
Washington, we do not see how they can escape
being mostly captured or, what is better, killed
