Hunter on the War-Pa Latest Ru- mors, Speculations, Etc.,—The Rebel Forces on this |Side of the Potomac— Their Number Estimated at 30,000. Se {Dispatch to the Chronicle. } Battiworg, July 6.—I have just conversed With a gentleman who left Frederick at 24 o’clock this afternoon. He says asmall rebel cavalry torce was, shortly before, at the moun- tain, three miles west; also that trom 30 to tu0 rebel cavalry were in Middletown Valley this morning, and plundering without discrimina- tion every one they came acroes. It is impossible to say how many insurgents sre on the raid. The greatest consternation Ppevades at Frederick when my informant left, and in his language, there was a reguiar stampede. Our pickets had been coming in, though it was believed the number of the en- emy near Frederick was small and only cay- alry seouts. itis useless, however, to deny that there is a formidable force of the enemy in the western region of Maryland, and the sooner this fact is known the better—how many, no one is ex- actly able toestimate. The great body of them is thought to be west of Hi r’s Perry. The rai)~oad runs only to Sandy Hook, oppo- site Harper’s Ferry. Gens. Wallace and Thier are very active concentrating their troops. The rebels seem to be scattered, and their main object is torob. They also conscript in- discriminately, and are more desperate than ever. Baltimore, July 6—p.m.—1 now learn from later and reliable sources that the rebels are in Williamsport, Hagerstown and other portions of the State, but not in any formidable body. They are plundering In all directions, stealing | horses and securing supplies. [Despatches to the Associated Press. } Gov. Curtin and Gen. Couch in Council. PHILADELPHIA, July 6—A special to the Bulletin, dated Harrisburg, to-day, says: General Couch has just received a despatch which, leads us to believe that our cavalry were forced out of Hagerstown to-day, The des patch is dated at one o’clock this afternoon. Itis believed the rebels haye only cavalry. Our troops are concentrating at Chambersburg and beyond. The Governor will call imme. diately for more troops, in addition to the 12,000 called out yesterday, so that the old troops in the department may be sent to the front. The old Pennsylvania Reserves are flocking to the rescue. Gen. Couch is here, and is for ihe present im constant communication with Goy. Curtin. Exciting Reports. BALTIMORE, July 6—9 Pp. M.—The followig is all that has been received from the upper Potomac up to this hour: Some excitement was caused at Frederick this afternoon by the fact that a slight skirmish had occurred between our pickets ana a small squad of rebel scouts between Frederick and Pomt of Rocks. From the movements per-eptible among the enemy at Harper’s Ferry to-day, it was sup- posed that Hunter's forces were actively prese- ing them in the rear. Nothing definite could be ascertained, but there is every reason to believe that Hunter wie be heard from to some purpose before long. Every possible precaution has been taken by General Wallace to guard against the possibii- ity of any surprise movement by the enemy in this direction. Should they come within this department they will meet with an uncomfort- able reception. There arerome exciting reports to-night asto the presence of a large force of rebels near Har- per’s Ferry, but they are not deemed reliable. The Raiders at Hagerstown. HAREI8LURG, July 6.—A dispatch from Chambersburg states thata rebeleforce, sup- posed tobe Bradley Johnson's brigade, entered Hagerstown this afternoon. he Federal forces at that place, under Lieut. McLean, after a spirited resistance, were compelled to fall back on Greencastle, with which place we still had telegraphic communication up to 9 o'clock p.m. Cars Running to Sandy Hook. Bartimory, July 6, 10.15 p. 19.—Diepatches received by the officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, up to 9% to-night, say that the rebels had not yet made any attack on our forces at Maryland Heights. 'S are running safely as far as Sandy Hook. It is reported that & small body of rebels are at Middletown, about © miles from Frederick, near Sonth Mountain. Rebel Force Thirty Thousand, BaLtimokg, July 6, Midnight.—In addition to what has been sent from here to-night, there are reports that have reached the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad depot, that the enemy arein farge force on this side of the Potomac. Some estimates are as high as 30.000. This, however, is thoughtto be very doubt- ful. Proclamation ef Gov. Curtin. HARRISRURG, July 6.—The following pro- clamation has just been issued by the Goy- ernor: a Itis now ascertained that a large rebel force hag been detached from Richmond, and is ad- vancing on the north. So large a portion of our army is at remote points that it becomes necessary to raise immediately a sufficient body torepel them. They are already within the borders of fhe CommonweaJth. .

You will not be less ready to come forward when your homes and firesides are toe defended against a profligate horde of plun rs, Iam authorized by the President of the United States to'call for 12,000 volunteers, in addition to those requiredjby my proclamation of yesterday, toserve for 100 days in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Washington and its vicinity. I appeal to the freemen of Pennsylvania to ronse themselves for the necessary effort, and ecme promptly to sweep the invaders from the soil. Teter to the general order from the headquarters Pennsylvania militia, No. 50, dated July 5, 1864, published with this procla- mation, for the details of the arrangements, Ido most earnestly request the good and loyal men of theCommonweaith, and especial- ly the yetersn’goldiers in all her borders, to show, them: és to be worthy of her in’ this emergency. qaer sons have established for themselves, oh many a bloody field, a reputa- tion for the maftial virtues which they will not now (Geta m both their well-earned fame and the their homes and families are at stake. it ELI SLIVER, Secretary of the Commonwealth. oa a Se ese PETERSBURG. , All Quiet at the Front—No Fighting on the be Fourth, [Corres dence of the Chronicle.)

There areé6 scholars upon the roils, of whom 53 were present. Miss Mills bas, ‘uring the past yeay, received 14 scholars into her school, and transferred |{ to higher schools, In orthogra) » Abbreviations, rules for ca) italizing, ciphering and geography the echol- &Brs passed a very creditable examination. The third class in Bhelling wasa little deficient, but what they lacyed in this branch they made upin dictation. The first class in mental arith- mé@tic appeared to be a little backward, but this is not, we think, the fault of the teacher, as the school labors under great disadvan- tages, being placed in a room where two other Schools are taught. The second class in men- tal arithmetic appeared to good advantage, The specimen books of penmanship of these scholars, dating from 1863 to 1861, show excel- lent progress. This school is held in a room (in whieh there are two other schools) om the corner of Pennsylvaniaavenue and 19th street, and certainly one at least of the schools should be removed immediately, as the teachers com- plain that owing to the contusion they are un- able to do justice to their scholars. Secondary, No. 4, was, in the absence of Mr. Brown, examined by Mr. W. 0. Lipscomb, Jr., in @ thorough manner. The teacher (Miss A. M. Kirk) can congratulate herseit Upon the general result of this examination, as the ex- aminer expressed himself greatly pleased witn the progress made by the scholars. Miss Kirk Das upon her rolls fifty-four scholars, fifty of whom Ware piressnt at the examination. She bas during the past year transferred to Mrs. Rodier’s school thirty-five of her best scholars. The scholars were examined in spelling, dicta- tion, orthography, practical and mental arith- metic, ciphering, geography, &c, in ail of which they did well, but in some they deserve particular mention. The penmanship of the classes (ot which there are three) was excel- lentin ‘ail. In ciphering alsg, the classes did remarkably well. The clas: im mental arith- metic were subjected to a close examination, passing & satisfactory examination. The first and scond classes, which were heard together in geography, were quite proficient, and itis the intention of the teacber to transfer these scholars to a higher school shortly. Mr. Lipscomb. at the conclusion of the ex- amination, expressed his gratification at the progrers:ali the scholars had made, but regret. ted that then@ were none of the parents of the children present, for it wouid have been an encouragement to the children as well as the teacher. Mr. L. reminded the scholars thatthe next bestfriend after their parents was their teacher, and he urged them to be patient, and Rot neglect to do well because they got tiredjat times. It was, sald Mr. L., a great deal of la- bor to learn all they had repeated during the examination, but they would have their re. ward. Miss Kirk's school is held in a rear room in the basement of Union Chapel, on 20th street. The room isa yery large one, and would do well tor school purposes if more light and bet- ter ventilation was provided, which can be done at asmall cost. Second Distric-—The Female Grammar School, taught on the second floor of the old Medical College, (corner of 10th and E streets, ) Miss Boggs, teacher, was examined Tuesday afternoon in the presence of quite a number of the parents and friends of the pupi!sand teach- ers from other schools, ameng whom we no- ticed Mrs. Amidon, Miss Evans and Miss Ram- sey, of the other female grammar schools; also, Miss Lowe, Miss Morphy, Miss Van Horn, Miss Wheatly, Miss Billing and Miss Wood- tuff. Rev. Drs. Gillett and Gray, Z. Richards, Esq., and other gentlemen were also present, and took part in the examination, which was conducted by the ‘bree trustees of the Second District—Meesrs. Miller, Wight and Rhees— and Messrs. Ellis and Wilson, of the Fourth and First Districts. The reom was handsomely decorated for the occasion, there being a profusion of wreaths, evergreens, &c., throughont, interspersed with numerons national flags; and on the north side of the room were displayed banners, with the following Hedi pis he Public Schools, the Palladium of Liberty;” “Our Free Schools, thé nurséries of a free people;” Nl honor to our conntry’s gallant defenders.” During the exercises the scholars sang 4 number of pieces ‘with fine effect, bemg accompanied on the piano by ene of their number. A composition ‘was read by Miss Lemon inexcellentstyle, the theme being “The Teacher,” and received much commendation as a remarkably well written piéce The examination was commenced at one o'clock and was protracted until near eight, and in some of the studies the scholars did ex- celienuy. ‘Phe classes in written arithmetic passed & good examination, but the e was no examination in the important study of mental arithmetic, which study in most of the schools i8 an important—feature. The dictation exer- cises were fair and the reading in concert was good, in some instances very good, the reading of Miss Flenner, for correct pronanciation, ex- pression and punctuation, especially deserving notice. The scholars in geography were rather back ward; also in the governmental instructor. In natural philosophy they parsed a good ex- amination, and the deficiencies in the other branches named may have been occasioned by the fatigue of the pupils, the examination being continued at too great a length. The yocai music was excellent. This schoo] was full during the year, but at present has but 44 on the roll. Many have withdrawn during the year, some just before ihe ¢xamination, which is injustice to teacher ard Setl001- The order of the school was very good. At the close of the exercises Mr. Richards ccmplimented the young ladies, stating that if they could ouly remember the schools of fifteen years ago they would be surprised at the pro- gress, and he predicted that fifteen years hence those who lived will see the schools of that day as far ahead of the schools of this day as the latter are ahead of those fitteen years back. Mr. Wight also complimented the school, and was followed by Mr. Wilson, who referred to the fact of somany scholars leaying just before the examination, thereby preventing the teach- er getting the credit she was entitled to, and he thought that the trustees ought, in adinitting scholars to the schools in December, to give the preference to those who wonld attend the en- tire year, Fourth District-—Secondary No.4, Mrs. Bow- ep, teacher, was examined by Mr. Murtagh, assisted by Mr. J.E.Thompson. A very fairex- amination, the teacher laboring under disad- vantage, having only a Primary at the begin- ning ofthe year. The singing by the boys was very good, and they displayed excellent pro- liciency in spelling. Secondary No. 5, Miss Sarah Eckloff, teach- er, was examined by Mr. J. E Thompson, as- sisted by Mr. Murtagh. The whole examina- tion Was mostexcellent. The mental aritnme- tic and reading were especially good. The singing was good. There wasa large number of parents present, we are glad to say. The room was handsomely decorated, and theschool and room altogether presented a thoronghly commendable appearance.
