Jee THE GUERRILLA A AIR UP RIVER. coy ae Ee A biG SENSATION RY MATERIALLY RE DUCED ee A morning cotemporary has the following: Two hundred and eighty- Nire Hundred’ were captured yesterday supposed, by White's rebel cav- : near Edward’s Ferry. The whole num- ber sent out was but three hundred, sevent2en cet whom returned. We regret this the more from the fact that this regiment, Colonel Swaim, is one of the most serviceable in the army. “ [Since we obtained the above informxtion, | we have been the recipients of a multiplicity of dispatches in regard to the above paragraph, variously stating the capture at from 17 to 70. We trusi, and are inclined to think, that the , number is not so large as our first report makes at.J” ‘ So tar ss we are able to ascertain, the facts in ibis case are 9s follows: | For some time past some of “Scott's 900" cavalry, Col. Swain, have been doing picket duty on about 40 miles of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the pickets being under the com- | mard of Lieut. Col. Wilkinson. There was no appearance of the enemy along the line on Thursday, but at one o'clock yesterday morn- | ing, two pickets belonging to the force of 61 men who were stationed at Edwards’ Ferry, when about two miles above, were fired upon, one shot striking Alonzo Pickett, of company D, going through his jaw, inflicting a danger- ous wound. They were both captured, and after being deprived of their horses and arms, ‘Were permitted to return to camp. On their arrival, Capt. Haileck immediately — eet out with 16 men to reconnoiter the canal, | and proceeded about seven miles and returned withont encountering any enemy until he ar- | rived within half a mile of the Ferry, when | his advance of four men were captured by a | party of rebels; and on looking towards the | camp he saw it in the possession of between three or four hundred of the enemy, supposed toa be White’s or Moseby’s men. During the absence of the reconnoitering party this camp was attacked, and one of the rebels is known to have been killed, the reserve | which hed been left there scattering and falling | back on another encampment of the regiment under Capt. Campbell, at Muddy Branch,when the entire body, numbering about eighty men, | retired from the line of the canal to the hills in | the rear, where they were when last heard from, drawn up in line of battle. So far as is known, onr loss is four men taken prisoners and one man (Pickett) wounded and | & prisoner, and that of the rebeis one man killed: | Our force at Muddy Branch yesterday csp. | tured two men, one of whom admits that he | piloted Stuart into Maryland previous to the battle of Gettysburg.

He received txo wounds in the breast and one in the back, | and it was thought they were mortal. As he Iay in the open wagon supported by piHows and shielded from the sun by umbrel- Jas, his face had the ghastly hue of death upen | it. The wagon was accompanied by a guard | ct nine men, and the lady met some fifty or | sixty more of the guerrillas straggling along the voad. They were moving in the direction ot Culpeper, and wonld appear to be going directly in the jaws of Union forces just ahead of them, but they doubtless desizned turning | off by some of the bye-paths familiar to them. | Moseby is a man of medium size, perhaps ‘32 | years of age. His gang hus been often co: founded in the popular mind with t White, which operates upon the line Potomac in the vicinity of Edwards’ Fe White belongs near Poolesville, Mars and is thus as famihar wi Toot territory in that vicinity as is Moseby in the quarter which he intests.

Jae PITCHING SHELLS INTO THAT CI?Y., —_ GREAT COMMOTION IN THE CITY. ag THE 300-POUNDER PARKOTT YET SERVICE ABLE. ge The correspondent of the New York Mera writes: Making good his notice to Beauregard, Gen Gimore directed Lieut. Sellmer, commanding the Marsh Battery, to open with his heavy Tited gun upon the city of Charleston during the night. Accordingly the piece was trained in that direction, and betweea one «nd two o'clock on Saturday morning fifteen shells of Hirney’s invention were pitched over the James Island batteries across the island and the hai bor and into the town. Their flight was wo: derful. When last seen the monstrous proje ules were still soaring upwards, as if on their way to join the star’. The effect of tnis demonstration against the city was quite satisfactory to ourselves, if not to the remaining inhabitants. Perhaps Gen. Beauregard had considered (sen. Gilmore's threat to shell Charleston at the distance of tour miles too preposterous to demand atten- tion. Certainly the city had not been evac- uated by all the non-combatants. The visitors which our “Swamp Angel” sent them created & most uproarious panic. The people were roused by their advent, and that universal confusion followed and a general skedaddle al | ensued was evident from the light of burning ivildings, the ringing of bells from every steeple, and the screeching and screaming of locomotive whistles. ‘The Times correspondent writes: Since Monday we have been untortunate with three of the heavy guns. A shell prema- turely exploded in one, Killing one man and woulding five others, and dislodging a portion ofthe breach, making the piece of no service for present use. Another gun, of the same pat- tern and calibre, belouging to the same battery, | was temporarily disabled by a shellexploding ; in the chamber. | reaching the breach, and to force it home four The shell ‘became fast before marines seized a crowbar, and were in the act of striking it, when an explosion ensued, kill- ing imstantly three marines and mortally wounding the fourth. The muzzle of another very important gun was blown off, after hay- ing fired but few rounds. Fortunately no one was injured. Men are at work this evening with file and chisel, and probably the gun will be in working order again to morrow. It is said by judges that its accuracy ofaim will not be destroyed, but its efficiency is somewhat jessened, inasmuch as one mile and a half is taken off its range. This gun bas already had a good share in tumbling down Sumter. ®F An ordimance has been passed by the been signed by the Mayor, appropriating $2,000,000 for the purpose of securing the ex- of the commutation money) ot such members of the police, fire department or militia force as may be drafted, and also for providing for the families of poor persons who may be drafted.

This atteck by Moseby was made at Coyle’s Tavyern,on Little River turnpike, some tew miles this cide of Fairfax, about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Onr men, numbering only twenty-five, were ‘attacked front and rear at the sume lime, bat foughtmantfully, Their loss was two killed, three wounded and nine taken | prisoners, together with all the horses they had in charge, fifteen of which, however, were af- terwsrds recaptured, leaving eighty-five still in tne hands of the enemy. The loss of the enemy was one Captain and ore Lieutenant killed, and one Lieutenant and three privates wounded, Moseby himself was wounded Intwo places, side and thigh. His | Wounds 9te regarded as fatal. Col.

P. Lee, commanding North Atlentic blockading squadron, reports that at daylight on the 15th stant the steamer Hebe atiempted to run into Wilmington by the New inlet entrance, but was headed off by the i\ipben, when che was run ashore a few miios © a\e Fort Fisher. Hercrew escaped in boats. At the time a gale was blowing from the northeast, with a heavy sea, and as there was | no prospect of getting the Hebe off, she was sct on fire by @ boarding party trom the Niphon, or by the shells of the Niphon and Shockokon, after the boarding party had been captured by the enemy, who, with two pieces of artillery and riflemen, well protected by sand hills close by, fired upon them and upon the vessels, whese firing was affected by the heavy swell. The Niphon lost two boats, swamped, and fifteen persans, principally byeapture. Three ot the boarding party were saved by means of boats. The Hebe is aniron propellor. Her cargo consisted of drugs, coffee, clothing, and provi- sions. She was as thoroughly burned as the water in her would admit. TUE NOTORIOUS BELLE BOYD AGAIN. Among the commitments to the Old Capitol yesterday afiernoon, we notice the name ot the notorious Belle Boyd. Belle, it will be re- membered, was sent South some time ago, but her regtless, roving disposition would not per- mit her to remain there, so she paid occasional visits by stealth to her friends inside our lines, gaining such information from them as they were abie to impart, and hastening back with it to the South. Intelligence of her movements finally reached headquarters, and one of Capt. Johnson’s detectives was dispatched to Mar- tinsburg, where she was said tu be, with full anthority to arrest her and bring her to this | city. The errand was successfully accom- plished, and Belle Boyd is again a prisoner in the Old Capitol. A SIGN OF THE TIMES, We have reliable information from the Shen- andoah Valley (of Virginia) to the effect that the leading rebels of that quarter are now transfer- ring their property to men of straw who make some pretensions to being of Union proclivi- ties. This is of course being done under the pretence of sales of the property tosave it from confiscation under the law of Congress to that end. As such transfers, made at this late day, Will require to be backed by strong proof of the actnal payment of fair value for the property to pass the scrutiny of the Government’s law officers, few of them will turn out to be worth 4 pinch of snuff.
