Yesterday was one of the “feverish Sun- days,” in the way of sensation rumors, to the effect that Lee, with his tatked-of army of inva- sion, Was making his appearance at points widely apart, now at Kelly’s Ford, now at Thoroughfare Gap, and now at Harper's Ferry. The only cne of the rumors that finally took any reliable shape was that of a raid en the Orange and Alexandria railroad by Moseby’s gang of guerillas, which were, however, speed- ily scattered by Stahl’s command. From what we can ascertain positively from the front, there seems to be no doubt that the’ Cobiederates are shiiting position, and the in- dictions are that they have moved a consid- erable force up river in the direction of Cul- ~ peper. Persons who have hereiofure prophe- ; sied accurately as to the moves of the Confed- erates, indicate 2 belief that a third batile upon the bloody ground of Manassas may oceur shortiy. Yesterday there were to beseen but few rebel pickets for a distance of ten miies up down she river fronting Falmouth, and Barksdale’s Mississippi Brigade, (i3th, 17th, ISth and 2ist giments,) which were drilling on Thursday in the vicinity of Fredericksburg, show now no sign of their presence, Whatever the rebels are up to, they will not . catch our commanders napping,most assuredly. In relation to the reports in regard to the ap- | pearance of the Confederates in the Shenan- ! doah Valley, the Baltimofe American of this morning says : “Our city was full of rumors on Sainrday of the re-appearance of Hebel troops in the Sh andoah Valley, and the driving in of the pie’ ets at Harper’s Ferry. Persons who came di- zect from the Ferry before day on Saturday re- | ported an attack momentarily expected, but it | ad] turned to bea few straggiing guerillas | who fired from the bushes on some of our pick- | ets, and no enemy was found by the scout sent . out within ten miles of the Ferry, and none had been heard from in that vicinity. We learn from Gen. Schenck thathe is in telegraphic | communication with the difierent commands | an all portiens of his De t from Wheel- inz, New Creek, Winchester, Cumberland and Hurper’s Ferry, ana that the utmost quiet pre- ¢ vaMed. ‘There was notevenrumorsamong the people. and extensive cavalry reconno: Through ali the mountain passes, from Win- | chester and down the line of Potoma: to 2 te the mouth of the Monocacy, | or ¢yven reports of shewhackers hing to indicate iscovered and canght, but n. the presence er Approsch of any considerable turce.

On the 2: the Wyandank went into Dividing Creek and | got out over 100,080 feet of Inmber belonging to | a Bir. Yerby, a secessionist, which will be used | for Government purposes at Piney Point. She also finished the destruction of the steam gaw | mil and the salt works at that piace, which were partisily destroyed some weeks since by he Currituck. The steam sicop Mahaska arrived on Satur- iz, trom Baltimore. She is a fine t, of the same style as the Ossipee | , aud comes here for stor: A RESEL RAID IN FRONT, } As the train which left Alexandria on Satur- day morming at seven o’clock, destined for Beaiton, neur Rappahannock railroati bridge, | ithin three miles of Warrenton Junction, s attacked by Moseby’s guerillas. The he time Was running down grade, and utimation had of the nearness of the enemy was by the fireman, who was on the } lookeut, discovering a rail being moved from the track by means of a wire which ran into the weods and was pulled by a man concealed there. Before the enginev: E rnotive it ran off the trac! iy two pi 's Of artillery were fired by theenemy, one of the balls passing through the boiler. | Lieut. Hartshorne and thirty men of the 15:h } ‘Vermont reziment were on the train at the time, but they jumped off and hastily retreated, only two or three of the company firing on the enemy. The rebels then set fire to the cars, ten ; in number, and destroyed them. The only per- | sons injured were a newsboy, who had his leg | broken, and the fireman. Shortly afterwards, } Gen. Stahl, with two regiments of cayalry, | came up, seeing which the rebels hastily re- } treated. He pursued them with success. A | dispatch received from that General at head- | quarters on Saturday night, states that he had | captured Moseby’s artillery, consisting of two » and a number of prisoners, and had | hopes of taking the whole band. i | i FROM VICKSBURG.

The main fortifications consist of a chain of forts about eicht hundred yards apart, conneet- ea by deep entrenchments and extending seven miles. Our loss in the azeault on the 22d ult. was about two thousand. It was the opinion that another generil as- sault would not be ordered, but that the city would be taken by regular siege approaches. The Gazette has advices up to the 27th ult., through a staff officer of one of Grant*s Gene- tals, who left for Washington last evening. | Three assaults have been made by our forces, in all of which they were repulsed. The last assault was made by Geir. Sherman, with twenty thousand men. We lost six hundred killed and a large number of wounded. Our outer line was within one hundred yards of the rebel works. Our sharpshooiers could prevent the rebels from working their guns. The rebel works near the city are far more formidable than those in front. Johnston is in the neighbcrhood of Jackson with about fifteen thousand men, short of pro- visions and ammunition. No apprehensions are felt of any serious at- tack on our rear. This officer states that Grant has taken eighty- four hundred prisoners and cight; -four pieces of artillery.

CAPTURE OF “ SECESH” NEGROES, The War Department was adyised this ning of the capture of three nesroes—Jno- Marshal McPhail, of Baltimore, on the 19th ult., on the Philadelphia turnpike road, charged | with having in their possession a lot of con‘ra- band goods, with which they were on the way to the States in rebellion. The case was referred to Capt. Todd, who ordered them to the Old Capitol. Tue Erection To-pay.—The Chronicle to- day, we venture to say, disgusted every decent man in Washington, by its introduction for the first time here of that particular style ef pot- house ‘strategy which consists in springing reckless charges upon political opponents on the véry day of the election, when too: late to be answered. 3 It is filled to-day with reckless fabrications of this sort, but the result at the polls thus far indicates that it has so far overshot the mark as to have actually caused many persons of its own politic) attinities to yote for the candi- dates thus atrociously slandered. This style of political warfare may do for Pennsylvania, but it damages only those who practice it, in a generous-minded community like that of Washington. SAILED FoR EUROPE.—We note among the names of passengers who-left New York on Saturday last for Liverpool, by the steamer City of New York, that of Mr. Samuel Barth, of Baltimore, a partmer of the well-known house of Barth & Edmeades, liquor mer- chants, No. 22, ,South Calvert street. Mr. Barth goes on a voyage of business and pleas- ure, and to the regret of his muny friends, will be absent seyeral months, He intends during his trip to Europe to make extensive arrange- ments in connection with the prosecution of his business, by which the already wide-spread transactions of this enterprising firm will be greatly enlarged in several departments.

Trans¥eR.—The Boston Herald says"—Gen. Howard. at the suggestion of Gen.

Major General Foster visited the camp of the nine months men, and made an eloquent speech to each regiment. He told the soldiers he could not part wiih them, that they must not leaye him and our sacred cause at this stage of the rebellion. He said that he would give them aly the advantages accompanying their re-enlist- ments, including # furlough of thirty days to exch regiment, and so arrange matters that while one regiment departed another would be ready to return, which proposition seemed to meet with general favor. General Fester then calleg upon the nine months men fora new artillery regiment of twelve companies, a hundred and fifty men each. This regiment was organized upon the spot, and the officers appointed, some regi- ments offering to furnish three companies tor this new command, which will be ready for service im & short time. The desire tor that portion of the Eighteenth Agmy Corps now in South Carolina to return here under their old chief, where they can haye active service, is arousing the sympa- thies of the whole department in their behalf. Numerous letters are continuously reaching General Foster from offieers and men now separated from him against the express orders of the Presideni, contain appeals for their return, of the most affecting character. Aside from the genera) erder to re-enlist for the war, if their wishes are granted, rather than hava any ill feeling existing betwéen the two depart- ments, Foster is willing to furnish Hunter with two biack regiments for each white regiment returned.

This ward has been. unusually quiet, nothing having occurred to eause the interposition of the pelice, excepting asingle knock-down. One mun standing near the pulls of the second precinct handed another man & Richards ticke! and it was immpdisiely tornup., The firetman miade some remarks and struck st the other, who hauled off and the assailant measured his length on the pave- ment. The police, however, interfered, and order wus restored. In the first precinct of the Second Ward 143 votes had been polled up to half-past two o'clock, of which it is conceded Mr, Dixon and his ucket have 100 votes, and the Richards ticket ‘otes. In the second precinct of this votes have been polled, Mr. Dixon Tunning tar ahcad—at loast three to one. In the first precinct of the Third Ward, 16) votes have been polled, Mr. Dixon being 25 ahead. The Council ticket here is pretty weil cutup. In the second precinct 152 votes have | been polled; a smali majority being claimed for Mr. Richards. In the first precinct of the Fourth Ward 192 Mr. Dixon has two-thiras, or 125. In this pre- cinct renewed efforts were made to yote on certificate. itis acknowledgéd, however, that Mr. Dixon lost as many votes by the decision of the judges xs did Mr. Richards. In the second precinct 255 had been polled, the Rich- ards men claiming 55 votes for their ticket. In the Fifth Ward, first precinct, there had been 87 votes cast to one o’clock, and it was thought that the vote was very close to that honr. In the second precict, however, Mr. Dixon wAs about 25 votes ahead—131 votes be- ing polled. In this ward the voting was very light, and but little interest seemed to have been taken. It is expected that the most of the votes will be cast this afternoon. In. the first precinct of the Sixth Ward to that hour only 97 votes had been polled (Dixon £4 and Richards 1::); and in the second precinct 207, of which Mr. Richards had receiyed about v0. In this werd gocd order prevailed, there being no interruption of the voters. in the Seventh Ward, at half-past 2, the Dixen ticket was ahead xt both precincts—very Gecidedly so at the second precinct.

He was fined 520. The propietor of 2 bawdy house on Twelfth street, known as “The Headquarters,” was also arrested onthe same charge. He was fined £20—his liquors confiscated, aud his bar closed du y the war. Win. J. Kendrick, proprietor of No.525 Eley- enth street, was served as above, fer the same ofence. Christie Broadegan, on C street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth, charged with selling liquer on Sunday, was fined 325, his liquors confiscated, and his ber clesed during the war. eS eS A Man Beat To Deatu.—Last evening, a difficulty occurred at Miller’s, on the corner of First street and Virginia avenue, between a number of fishermen. said to be deserters from the Excelsior Brigade, and a fight ensned, during which one of them, named David Eng- lish, was attacked by the others and badly beaten about the head and chest. Sergeant Hepburn and cflicer Wheeden arrested two of the party, who gave their names as Jack Hays and Edward Brown, and took them to the Seventh Ward station. This morning English died, and his body is awaiting the Coroner to hold 8n inguest upenit. Justice Stratton still holds the parties to answer the charge. er Lees DistRicT Court, Judge Wylie.—The District Court met this mornimg and organized, and ad- journed until to-morrow. ee Jonxk Menicirat Evxction.—All property- holdere and every citizen of Washington should vow on the Ist of Jane. Ist. Because is to the interest of the city that they should. 2d. Because it is their duty as good and loyal men, 3d. Because eitizens born in our midst want their support and suffrage. Ath. Because men shouid be elected who have 2 local feeling in common with them. Sth. Because our city and our interasts are involved, and should only be placed in the hands of those who we know will do us the greatest good and enhance the weiltare of our city. For whom should the citizens vote? They should vote tor Dixon for Collector; tor Doug- las for Register; for Forsyth for Surveyor. Why? Because they sre men who haye been weighed in the balance of public justice aud not found wanting. Are these men good and loyal citizens? For an answer read the resolutions they adopted as their platform when they accepted the nomination from the hands and hearts of the community in which they are known and read. It is there said, emphatically, that they are loyal and true men. Whatis loyalty? Itdoes not consistinalond mouthed endorsement of the emancipation proclamation, forced upon the Chief Magistrate by radical leaders, and submitted to by all Union loving people because it is Inw. Loyalty does not consist in condemning the President, as the radicals haye done, when he issues a proclamation setting the slaves of rebellious. sections of the country free—but in the same document declares that the slaves of loyal States and sections are not subject to his procla- mation—thus shswing the integrity of his pur- pose to preserve intuct the rights and privi- leges under the Constitution of all loyal per- sons, Yes, the President in this Proclamation up- holds the Constitution—and by all his acts he has ever shown to these mistaken radicals that slavery isan institution not to te interfered with, exceptso faras peoples and sections of the country become outlawed and not under the sacred pale of the Constitution, either in their lives, property or liberty. The President only uses his Proclamation aguinstrebels! He preserves intact the rights under the Constitu- tion, of all loyal States and peoples. In a word. loyalty consists in obedience to law, obeying ail laws, and all laws to be ob- ligatory must be founded on justice and trath, the bulwark of our treedom. The Constitu- tion is the illuminator of our rulers, and by it their course must he shaped—in spirit it notin letter—for from it justice and truth‘issue in resplendent glory. Now, al! of the men presented by the regular unconditional Union citizens of Washington ara loyal in the highest sense. They are free from all “isms,” “ite” or “ands.” Bena fide Tinion men in heart, unsullied in reputation, and with acknowledged ability to fill the hon- orable posts to which you will elect them. Shall we not, then, vote, one and all, for these citizens of Washington in preference to untried mei—ie men almost unknown to the great working mass of society? ¥es, fellow-citizens, stand first by your courtry—deny her nothing, not even your lives—then by vour city, and then by your known and tried citizens, and all will go well, on the first of June next and for the two years followin; A Vorer. 3 RFWAEBD WILL BH GIVEN FOR THE qi return to 124 U street south, Island, of a smal light red COW; wide horns, and gives milk from only three teats. 8, B.
