A horrible tragedy is reported in a Con
staniinople letter OF the 18th. The fol-
lowing are the particulars as thus report
ed Djemila Sultana, the third daughter
of the late Sultan. nov in her twenty
second year, was married to Mahmond
Jelladin Pasha. The position Of sub
ject upon whom the Sultan coniers the
hand of ooe of his daughters is anything
l,t IN epyiable ono as A. I.iaNcsees
,ttaS Ine unhappy husband much III the
same way as they do their slaves, or rath-
or worse for the latt0r have not the misery
Of appearing in n false position. 1t is we'll
known that the husbands OF the daughter
of the late Suliau-Fatima, Raifia, and
Diemila-have led the most wretched Of
lifes from the arbitrarness and jealousy Of
their wives. The tragedy which occurred
on the 18th instant arose from this cause
The Sultana Djemila, from causes well or
i'll founded, became jealous of one of her
slaves, by her husband in her hlghnes's s
rage against the unfortunate girl she ord
cred one Of her eunchs to cut her head oil,
which was done at a stroke of his cine
ter. Then she determined to extend her
revenge to her husband and coolly direct
ed that tho girls head should be placed
under cover on the Pasha's dinner-table.
/ II is the custom in Turky for the male
heads of families to dine apart from their
women. On the day in question the Sui
tan seated her self on the diyan-R long
sofa extending across the room-preyious
to her husbands entering the dining
room. On his arrival, as is customary, lie
went up to the imperial spouse and rem
dered her the usual homage. When seat
ed. he called on the sci wants present 10
remove the cover which is thrown over
the tray which forms the top of the table;
TO his surprise they hesi.ated, and shrsnk
back. The Sultan then called TO him TO
remove it himself, upbraiding The servants
for their conduct. The unhappy Pssha
obeyinr his wiie's directions, threw off the
cover, and then before him lay the CORY
head of TIE murdered girl. lie resled and
fell back q corpse. Previous 10 taking oil
the cover he drank some sherbct, and
whether this was poisonedas some imagine
or that the shock produced apoplexy, ha'
not been ascertained, as no post mortem ex
animation has been held. 1t will, ofcourse
be thought that the imperial murderes4
was at once seized and placed in Inc
hands of Justice. On the contrary, Diem
lila Sultan Abdul of the imperial family
daughter Of Sultan Abdul Medjid, anC
niece OF the reigning Sultan, las up to the
present moment remained in her house
unmolested, ana the only notice taken o
the matter has been that her imperial un
Gle is very angry With her.

RumoFs have been circulating here sll
day, that large rebel force under Gen.

Of that place. The following information
in regard 90 the matter bss been received

Some heavy trains filed with supplies
for Gen. Hunter we're also taken to q
place Of safety.
The force Of the enemy has come by way
Of North Mountain, with view no doubt
Of hsnking our forces, but in this they
were disappointed.
Dispatches received at o'clock this
evening state that fighting has been going
on all day nesr Leetown, about ten miles
from Hsrpers Ferry, between q force of
the enemy that Was mnYine in the direo
tion Of Shepardstown, and Pixies command
which sigel had left there to occupy the
place. Both forces engaged were small
and il is reported sll the attacks of the
enemy we're repelled.
All freight and passenger trains from
the west we're worked successfully through
last night but no Express train for the
West left Baltimore this evening. At last
accounts no injury had been doue to the
road or bridges.
1t is supposed the invading force is the
same which was sent against Hunter, who,
it is understood, has retired into West Vir-
ginia towards 6auley, to await supplies.
Finding Hunter had eluded them, and
they thought the rebels were now attempt

WASHINGTON. July s-lI ?.

WASHINGTON, July I'LL ?. n,
There is little army news here tonight
We have news from the expedition on the
Richmond snd Dsnville Railroad. Wilson
accomplished the purpose of his raid, viz
Thoroughly destroying the Richmond and
DsnviIls railroad for long distance, and
doing irrepsrstle lie damages to the rebel
communications.
On his way back he found himself sur
rounded, and the only means of getting
out being through almost impossible
swsmps, but some of his force succeeded
in getting through with considerable loss.
He lost it is reported, several of his
wagon trains. twenty-five miles of the
RichmOnd and Dsnville Railroad is utter
ly destroyed.
The 9th corps being nearest to the point
where Wilson was belesgured, was imme-
distely sent to his relief. The I'd Brigade
of ths ID Division making q charge on the
rebels, recsptured eight guns without hOr-
ses. However, in this charge, Colonel
John Boiler, 9th Pennsylvania, was killed
while gallantly leading his regiment.
The services performed in this raid are
deemed Of Importance, sufficient to repay
many times for the capture of his entire
force, should that be necessary, and the
rebels by their concentrated pursuit Of
him show how much they feared these sue
osssful raids upon their only line Of rail-
road communication from Richmond out
ward.
We have 3 copy of the Richmond ET-
aminsr of the 8Oth, from which we take
the following;
About six o'clock yesterday morning
there was furious oannonsding in the
direction of Chafin's Bluff, on the James
River. During the merning soldier
reached the city, who represented himself
as from the immediate vicinity, he stated
Ghot q fUrsgrng party Of the enemy having
crossed the river, and set about cutting
oAihs on Cox plantation. Our men open
ed on them with several pieces Of artillery
and drove them off.
PETERSBURG, June %. = Prisoners
brought in to-day report that portion Of
our cavalry was engaged in front of Will
sons cavalry at Dinwiddis Court House
yesterday, in which the enemy's loss was
sixty wounded. It was supposed from his

cess. Il is also stated that part of Wilson's
foraa was At Lavvnueevilla p-nnsEio'r
Uounty, last night, trying'tO get ont to-
wards the WeIeon railroad.
There has been cavalry fight below here
to. o.dsy, near Resm Station, but the results
are unknown. In the front the situstiop
is unchanged. information of raid into
