Battimorg, July S—p. m.—The most reli- able information here to-night is that the reb- els have been gradually driven back trom Frederick by General Wallace, whose action since his promptness in taking command in the field has won fer him great praise and un- bounded confidence. The enemy was repulsed by him three times yesterday, and as many times to-day. He is still pursuing, and the rebels retreating. At last accounts the rebels were near South Mountain, and believed to be making for «+ Dixie.” Our force, under Gen. Lew. Wallace is ample. The trains run to Harper’s Ferry. The Northern Central trains all arrive at the depot regularly, but consternation in Gum- berland Valley continues. The number of raiding rebels is estimated at 10,000. Some rumors say they ag; ate 40,000, Notwithstanding, all accounts at headquarters here are encouraging. [Despatches to the Associated Press. j The Situation at Frederick. FREDERICK, July 5,2 p. m.—There has been no fighting ari to this time, with the excep- tion of picket firing by our skirmishers, who are feeling the position of the enemy. During the night they fe!l back from the line they occupied during the fight, and are now reported to be in position in Middletown Val- ley, holding the road to Middletown and Ha- rstown, crossing the Catoctin Mountain. ‘wo guns are mounted in the Gap, and the force is now estimated to be about 5,000. Gen’l Wallace has received reinforcements, from where and to what amount he will leave the enemy to find out for themselves: but they are men who haye been tried, and who know the work before them and do not shrink from its performance. Frederick to-day is not like Frederick of yes- terday. Since the arrival of General Wallace and his reinforcements the appearance of the city has entirely changed. Business has been resumed, and the people seem confident that the danger 1s passed. Our casualties may besummed up as fol- lows: Alexander's Battery._Sergeant Charles C.

HARRISBURG, July $.—General Couch has issued an order directing that all vehicles and horees in charge of men fleeing from supposed danger, shall be stopped, either before they reach, or at the bridge across, the Susque- hanna, until further orders, implying that the danger, if not actually over, is of no threaten- ing or serious character. Hundreds of farmers left their trops just ready to be harvested. A dispatch, dated two miles north of Hagers- town, at 10 o’clock this morning, states that 150. guerrillas, from Imboden's add Moseby’s com- mands, entered Hagerstown at 5 o'clock, rob- bing the stores, and have fired the engine-honse and Thurston's warehouse, and burned 250 tons of Government hay. They intend burning Seeler & Co’s warehouse, and also threaten to burn the town. The turn-table of the railroad is not yet de- stroyed. The rebels are heavily laden with plunder. The rebel General McOUausland, with his brigade, was at Williamsport this morning, but there are reports that he will leaye there to-day. A high wind is blowing the fire up throngh the town, and threatens great destruction of property. Late dispatches from Greencastle assure us that the main body of the rebels which entered ghar piace have retired—it is supposed. south of ie otomac—leaying only a few stragglers in the town.

Evans, was examined by Mr. Wilson. This is Miss Evans’ first year as teacher of this school, and when she took charge it was very low in numbers and greatly disorganized. In order to bring the school up to the usual standard, heavy draits were made upon schools of lower grade, | andwhen Miss Evans bad obtained a sufficient number of scholars, she set to work to re- organize the schoo!, which she done very sat- isiactorily. The first and second classes in mental arithmetic passed a good examination, ‘and the only failures (some threeor four) were in the second class. Mr. Z. Richards examined these classes, and he remarked that as to pro- ficiency, the scholars were afittle above the averagerun. When the class in botany was called, Mr. Wilson arose and said that some two monihs ago the trustees desifed to intro- duce this study in this school, when the lowest book of the series was introduced, since which time the scholars of this class had accom- plished much. He (the speaker) believed it ‘was an excellent study, and would interfere with no other. A year ago p&rents thought it was foolishness to introduce vocal music into the public schools, and perhaps some of them thought the same of botany, but he was con- yvinced that they were mistaken. Mr. W. then introduced Prof. Schafer, of the Maryland Agricultural College, who examined the cbass thoroughly, upon the conclusion of which he remarked that he was perfectly satisfied with the progrees the scholars had made, Several excellent compositions were read, and one en- titled «The Flowers,” by Miss Taite, received special commendation. In reading the scholars showed good training. The dictation exercises were good, and in the other studies the scholars pasced & very fair examination indeed. The order maintained was good. During intervals of the examination the scholars sang several pieces with fine effect. Second District.—Primary No. 6, taught in the third story of the Medicai College, corner 10th and E streets, by Miss Woodruff, was exam- ined on Wednesday morning by Mr. Wight, in the presence of a few visitors. This school was organized in February last, and Miss Woodruff, a pupil of the Grammar school, Was tempororily placed in charge. It num- bers about 40 little girls, some of whom are just commencing spelling short words, and most of them were present. The scholars showed that they have been studious during the short time the school has been in operation. and they have certainly made an excellent commencement. The grder of the school wasexcellent and the general appearance of the scholars reflected credit upon Miss Woodruf!, who, we under- stand, will decline to serve asa permanent teacher. Secondary No. 2, taught in one of the lower rooms of the Washington Market building, 5th and I streets, by Miss Sabra P. Abell, was ex- amined on Thursday afternoon by Mr. Rhees in the various studies they have been pursuing during the year. The school numbers 51 on the roll of whom 44 were presen’, and fully one-third are scholars who have been admitted this year. In geography a fair examination was passed, as also in spelling. The readiug was very good in most instances, the spelling was tolerable, and in abreviations the scholars were excellent. The room was handsomely decorated, and on the wall in evergreen letters was “Union and Education.” The order was not good. The school has some very bad boys,’ few ef whom will give any school abad name, agd rather than the credit of the school should snffer it would be well to weed them ont. 5 This school labors under many Wisadyan- tages. It being on a street much tragelled, the noise of passing vehicles frequently imterrapis the stu . Many of thescholars tooyare such as heretofore have had the free.range of the streets. The school-room is muth;arowded, and is, perhaps, the most inapprepriage one for the purpose in the 2d district. i Secondary No.4, in charge of Mites M. A. Tucker, taught in the old totionkc College buil@ing, corner of 10th and E siapete; was ex- amined by Mr. Wighton Thurgday,4nthe pres- ence of quite a number of visktareyim the va- rious studies pursued in anne of this grade, and the scholars acquitted; admi- rably in reading, spelling and: mental arith- metic. The order was excejlent,and the gen- eral appearance of the schalars, arked. There are d9 names on the raleaaoY whom were present, five being sick. |The. was very fine, some ot the girjs Daving, excellent voices.
