Our loss six killed and fourteen wounded, including among the latter two officers: Our gubboats participated, Up to noon Monaay, our forces had buried sixty-four rebels, and were very busy burying mere. It is estimated that a hundred dead rebels were left on the field, and the entire rebel loss is nearly six hundred. We took a hundred and twenty prisoners, including eleven com- missicned officers, among whom are « colonel, two majors and one captain A lieutenant colonel, two majors and five lieutenants were killed.

The Retreat of the Rebels—The Next Bat- tle Field—Losses in the Recent Battles— The Maryland Brigade—Wigh Water in the Potomac—Arrival of Prisoners. 2 FREDERICK, Tuesday, A. M.—[Correspon- dence Baltimore American.J—Since my letter was clesed last night, events here haye cul- minated so rapidly that reference may now be made to matters that were then treated with reticence. Frederick has again become the scene of activity that belongs to the presence of a great army in pursuit ot a flying enemy. By the time that this reaches you the whole Army of the Potomac, trayel-worn and battle- scarred, yet buoyant and enthusiastic as I have not seen it since it laid before Yorktown, willbe here, and a large portion of it gone for- ward perhaps to seek a new battle-field. The avant couriers of the army have been assing through the streets of Frederick all day. hrongs of cavalrymen, long lines of wagons, and galloping staff officers have made the streets resound with noise and excitement. Gen. Meade has not arrived, but is hourly expected. Itis probable his headquarters may be here for a day or two. Parties who left Hagerstown to-day report that the head of the rebel army had already commenced coming there, and that there seemed to be indicitious that it was to be massed there, to try conclusions again with the Army otomac. This is, however, yery doubt- ful. The greater probability is that Lee will push as rapidly on to the river as possible, and try to regain for his army on the soil of Virginia the confidence and prestige they haye lost on this side of the line. If, with his army buoyant und assured of victory, he could not win at Gettysburg, how can he expect to do so now, when the conditions are so greatly changed. If he tights again this side of the Potomac it will be with the Army of the Potomac infinitely stronger in morale and reinforced up to its fuil strength before the three glorious days of July, whilst he himself is at least twenty-five thou- sand weaker in mon, and with his panoply of supposed invincibility shattered to frag- ments. CAN THE ENEMY RETREAT SAPELY? 1 fear thie question must be amswered mainly in the affirmative. Sanguine people may dream of “bagging” or annihilating” a great army, and sensation correspondents ornament hyper- bolical paragraphs with such predictions, But the doing otf the thing is next to impossible. In this case there are geographical facts that increase the difficulties. The Potomac, above Baeper's Ferry, makes a considerable bend northward, and Lee's line of retreat from Get- tysburg to the river at Williamsport is shorter than any other route that we can pursue. His own knowledge of an intention to retreat before it could become known to General Meade, and the consequent preparations made for it, is equal to at least twelve hours in the start. Suppose our army rushes pell-mell after the retreating enemy, what follows! He chooses his dwn point of attack, masses his artillery, repulses our advance guard, detains us some bours making dispositiens for battle—hours witch are improved in pushing forward his ymain body—his rear guard follows m retreat, and nothing is gained. Gen. Meade has un- derstood the advantages of these taetics too well to be led into them, and has marched his army this way by roads running east of South Mountain, but parallel with those the enemy are talling beyond it. Such remarks as these are only necessary to prevent the belitthng of the gloricus triumph gained by our army by those whe may-be in- clined to forget what has really been accom- plished, because all that they hoped for im- agined to be possible, has not been uccom- plished. The army’has done a great work, for which the Kaen should be devoutly thankful. It has put an end to the invasion of the North, broken the invincibility of Lee’s army, touched the revels on their most sensitive point, and disappointed their vast expectations of dictas ting terms of peace tous from our own soil. “More, it has relieved the Army of the Potomac from the incubus of defeat, a fact that will tell ‘wonderfully when they next meet the foe. WHAT WE ARE DOING, | Though the rebels Psy rgeh the other side of the Potomac without further pu! it ‘will not be for want of effort on our part to in- flictiton them. Our cavalry, under Pléasan- ton, is on their flank, and will not fail to be ed hgrd. Buford, Gregg and are in front of here, and the advance of our infan - try celumns is also where it ought tobe. The South Mountain passes are ours, and with these evicences of further possible success we must awit results. OUR CAPTURES, Comparing the yariousestimates which reach me, I think that our captures of prisoners will reach nine or ten thousand. To this number is to be added the badly wounded who will be gathered up all along the line of Lee’s retreat, aud the stragglers and deserters who our cay_ ulry, it as reported are already gathering up by the hundregs, The rebel loss in killed and slightly wounded can hardly fall,below twelve or thirteen thousand, which will swell thei tetel S Up to 25,000, About 33 per cent. of th ft 75,000 men Lee brought over the Poto mic with him, It ie doubtful whether we captured any ar- tillery, though it is said we took five guus from the enemy's right wing in Friday's fight. Our cavalry, which were engaged with Stuxrt on the right wing, also captured several cuussons and all his battery horses, but were unable to secure the guns. OUR LOSSES. I put down our losses in killed and wounded at twelve thousand, and believe that will fully cover them. Thisis the whole extent of our losses. Of prisoners we lost none except the few officers whom Lee was able to carry off. Three thousand cf our men who fell into his bands he paroted, but the le, under the terms of the cartel, is of noeffect, because Gen. Meade positively refused to agree to it. It is reported thut after Gen. Meade refused to ac- cept the parole, Gen. Lee sent them to Gen. Couch, who did accept the parole. I can hardly believe that Lee would resort to such ascurvy trick, and think it only a “good thing to tell? FREDERICK GETTING LIVELY, Frederick begins to look as lively as it did during last fall before and after the battle of Antietam. There is a creat gathering of off- cers, ariding to and fro, and coming and going tbat are significant of approaching lively times in this eection. Without going into par- ticulars that might be contraband, it is suffi- cient to sey that there are plenty of indications that the rebels are making towards the Tiver, and the Army of the Potomac, continuine the delicate attentions commenced at Gettysburg, is accompanying them to the border. THE REBEL PONTOON TRAIN. The destruction of the rebel pontoon train at Falling Water, below Williamsport, was ac- complished by detachments of the 13th and 14th New York cavalry. It is said the rebels have two other pontoen bridges laid, one at Wil- liameport and the other a short distance above. The torce, however, both infantry and artil— lery, at these is large, and the detachment sent out was not strong enongh to attempt their dee struction. LATEST. ¥REDERICK, Tuesd y, noon.—Thereisnoim- portant news this morning, but many promise ing indications. The announcement that Gen. Mvade’s headquarters were in Frederick was in advance of the fact. He is not here yet. Gen. French still commands here and keeps the town in splendid order. He believes in discie pline, and knows how to enforce it. GENERAL KILPATRICK’S CAPTURES. The prisoners who arrived here yesterday, aud stillare encamped outside the town, ex- cept the wounded who haye been sent to the hospitale, were captured by General Kilpat- Tick’s cavalry between Greencastle and Smith- burg, sud are to be added to the sum of total prisoners captured at Gettysburg. They were with a long wagon train of sick, wounded and stragglers, and were captured without much oppesition. They number about onethousand. Most of them are North Carolinians with a sprinkling of Marylanders, seyeral of the lat- ter being from this city. THE REBEL PONTOON BRIDGES. The Harrisburg despatch stating that the rebel pontoon bridge at Dam No.4, which is opposite Clearspring, and between Williamsport and Hancock, was destroyed is doubted here. If true, it leaves the rebels with but one bridge remaining—that at Williamsport. It rained heavily during the night and this morning. The Potomac is reported to be Tap- idiy rising, and must now be nearly unfordable THE EXPEDITION TO HARPER'S FERRY. The expedition to Harper’s Ferry on Sunday Ws made by Major Cole’s Maryland cavalry. 1 2 trom Capt. Frank Gallagher, whose company formed part of the expedition, that the rebels had laid planks across the railroad bridge, for the purpose of carrying off the horses they had stolen, the river even then being too hugh to make fording safe or comfortable. Maj. dashed across the bridge, the rebels flying, terwaris threw down one span of the te work at each end of the bridge. We now hold Maryland Heights. v THE REBELS, There is no intelligence of the movements of the rebel army beyoud the statement that they ure in considerable force at Hagerstown. Our cavalry are operating actively on the flank and rear, and are picking up hundreds of pri- soners, The Letter From Jeii Davis to President Lincoln. The following is the dispatch in full (noticed in our telegraphic dispatches of yesterday) sent to the N. Y. Herald by the Washington corres- pondent of that paper: WASHINGTON, Jnly 6, 1863.—On Saterday, the ith inst., the rebel gunboat Dragon came down the James river with a flag of truce. Actng Rear Admiral Lee sent up an officer to meet it, when it was ascertained that Alexan- der H. Stephens and Commissioner Ould were on board. They represented that they were the bearers of an important letter from Jefferson Davis, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States, to Abraham Lincoln, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and requested per- Mission to proceed to Washington in the Dragon and present the letter to President Lincoin in person. They dechned to reveal anything further in relation to their mission than is above stated. Admiral Lee, of course, had no authority to grant their request, and they consented to wait unul he could communicate with Washington, and receive instructions in regard to the matter. He accordingly cleere pied thefacts and re- quested instructions. This morning a special Cabinet meeting was called to consider the mutter. The granting of the request involved many delicate and importent questions, as such @ proceeding might be» construed inte an acknowledgment of the nauonality of the pre- tended Contederate Government, arid, after all, the matter might be some comparatively unim- pertantaffair, such as the employment ot negro troops, &c. No decision was arrived at, and the Cabinet Meeting was accordingly adjourned until to- morrow, and Admiral Lee was instructed to ascertain, it possible, the objectof the mission. In the meantime, however, the tug contain- ing the rebel ambaseae¢ ors had turned abont and steamed up the river, without any parting sa- jutation or explination, and thus ended the mission. Agentleman just arrived from Richmond, who lefttbe day before yesterday, says great consternution prevails there The detensesare occupied chiefly by armed citizens, and fears aire entertained that Lee will be cut off and itichmond captured before an army can be concentrated there. THE REBEL APPLICATION REJECTED BY THE CABINET, WasuinTon, July 6, Evening.—In reference to the ap plication of Mr. Alexander H. Steph- ens and Commissioner Ould, to be permitted to qroneed to Washington in the Rebel gunboat Jragon, to present in person a letter from Jeff.
