REBEL ACCOUNTS.

From the Richmond Examiner, July 10.
Nothing was talked of yesterday but the
invasion of Maryland, and by 2 O'Clock in
the evening reports were as abundant and
sensational as ever we have known them.
This was the sum and substance of the
stories which were eagerly circulated with
countless variations.
REPORTED CAPTURE OF BALTIMORE.
Baltimore had been captured-ffteen
thousand of the natives, armed with brick
bats and bowie knives, having assisted our
troops in the assault.
wAsHIseToE CARRIED BY STORM.
Washington, also, had been carried by
storm, and Lincoln and his cabinet taken
prisoners. The report was asserted to
have been confirmed by the New York
Herald of the l4th inst, which q great
many people were willing to swear, or bet
all they were worth, had been received aud
read at the War Department. We will not
assert that there is no truth in the report
of the capture of Washington and Balti.
more. Our armies IN Maryland are we'll
calculated to take both places, and whip
every Yankee north of the Potomac; but IOs
must contradict the report about the Herald.
No northern papers of the l4th had been
received in this city up to o'clock last
evening, and gentleman who left head
quarters at Petersburgh on yesterday, in
forms US that no paper later than the 18th
had been seen there.
NO EXCHANGE OF PAPERS.
The most important thing that we learn
ed Yesterday, in relation to our affairs in
Maryland, aud the circumstance that con-
Vinces; US that the work of invasion goes
braVely on, was that the Yankee troops near
Petersburg, positively refused to exchange
papers with our troops, as they have been
of late in the habit Of doing. If our ar
mics had met with any disaster, or even
ch 7ck, the Yankees would have been but
too eager to furnish US with their newsps-
per accounts of the event.
"wHAT MEANS THESE CHEERs2"
The Yankees on part of their liue, at
Bermuda Hundred, made such cheering
end hurrahing yesterday, that our pickets
called cut to them to know what was the
matter. They replied that they bad just
received intelligence that seven thousand
of our troops had been captured in Mary
land. This may be regarded as a very
moderate lie, considering the source which
| it emanated.
THE LATEST RELIABLE REPORTS.
The latest authentic intelligence we have
from our troops in Maryland is derived
/
evening, direct from the Relay House, at
which point he left the main body Of our
forces last Monday evening. He says he
| did not knou lDhether t0e had taken Baltimore
or not :; 6ut6 tce had not Is i0Gs only because
IRE did not choose to do H. This gentleman
brought large quantity of cslicos and other
booty. Another gentleman, q blockade
runner, who left Washington on Monday
evening and arrived here yesterday, reports
that during Monday fourteen transports,
loaded with Yankee troops, arrived al
Washington. The Washington Star of the
evening of the 18th was received. A sum
mary Of its news will be found in another
column.
THE VERY LATEST.
A letter dated 18th inst, received here
late last night, from a trustworthy gentle
man in Maryland, says
Washington city is invested from the
Potomac to the eastern branch of AnacOstis
river. Every railroad north of Baltimore
has been cut, and the telegraph wires de-
stroyed. To-day (the l3th) everything has
been unusually quiet. Not gun has beer

GOLD.
From the Richmond whig, JuIy14.
As the chief cause of ths-high price o
gold is its scarcity, it has been sugges;e
that the supply could be practically dou
: bIed by the issue of gold certificates, re
deemable at the will Of the holders. Par
ties would buy or receive these certificate
! at the market rate for gold, and Wills
confidence in their couvertibility rename
, unimpaired, the certificates would be sci
dom presented for redemption. As d
governmeut cannot properly undertake th
business, the only mode in which the re
suit can be accomplished, if ct all, is b
the combination of capitalists of know
solvency and acknowledged integrity. :
capital of $50, 900 IN gold might thus b
raised, aud certificates issued to that ez
tent-the specie remaining on deposit d
one of the banks. The suggestion is men
toned for the consideration of all who AT
