EXTRA. FROM PETERSBURG. Rebels Threatening a Demonstra 6 s Lines—Grant Ready for The mail steamer Keyport arrived here this | She brought up the | morning from City Point. army mail anda number of men of the 155th Ohio, (one hundred days men,) who are sick ‘with fever. There were some indications that the rebels are meditating an attack upon Grant, and they appear to be cautiously teel- irg our lines. Considerable skirmishing has taken place within the past few days at differ- ent points along the lines. The reb+ls seem to imagine that Grant has been so much weakened by sending troops to the reliet of Washington that they can risk an @ttack. Gur*rmy is muchin hopes that the rebels will come out to make an attack under that impression. ‘The rebels have taken advantage of the with- | drawal of some of our gunboats from the James river, and yesterday morning the: the steamers George Weems and United States from a field battery stationed near Wilson’s Landing, stern knocked off, and three shots passed throuch the United States, not doing much damage, how-ver. As ine Keyport came down the James River, she saw a large body of rebel cavalry on the banks ashort distance below Wilcox’s. Keyport puton all steam, and passed them with a full headway, but the rebels made no demon- stration against the boat. Nothing has as yet, been heard from Sheri- dan, who bas gone on anotherraid with alarge force of cavalry. He will, doubtless, be heard trom favorably within a day or two. Rebel deserters continue to come within our | lines in considerable numbers. The Keyport breught up twenty-one, under guard of a de- tachment of the 2uth New York, commanded by Lieut. Mulker. This officer also had five our men under sentence of court martial, in- cluding a captain. The Keyport also brought up_three families of refugees, who resided in Prince George county, near Petersburg. They brought with them their bedding and clothing, but in other Tes pects they were perfectly destitute. THE REBEL PLANS. Mr. Samnel Wilkinson, of the New York Tribune, telegraphs to that paper that he was at first disposed to underrate the strength of the Confederate invading party, but he now believes it was 50,000 strong. He says that on the 5th day of July written evidence was laid before General Halleck that a cavalry colonel an Hampton’s division had written a letter, which was intercepted, and which was dated *‘Ten Miles Northwest of Richmond, Va, June 22,’ in which he stated, in the confidence of | writing to a friend: “ Ewell’s corps, with Hampton's cavairy, over fifty thousand of us in al}, haye received orders to march to Har- yper’s Ferry, and the rations for the men neces- Bary to go there have been issued. We are just starting. « We know that for the first time in the war, Grant having drained everything, Washing- ton is lett almost destitute of men, but poorly defended by a few militia, and it 1s thongat that our force is umple to take the city. The militia will be no match for the veterans. We have with us such as the Stonewall Brigade. “Although our orders read to Harper's Fer- TY, my own belief is that we shall go more di- rectly to Washington, and many of the officers &re of thesame opinion. I may be in Fairfax county and see you before this gets there.” COWARDLY OFFICERS. Among the prisoners under sentence of court martial, brought up by the steamer Keyport from City Pointthis morning, were Capt. H. A. DeLand and First Lieut. Moses A. Powell, fired upon | {he Weems had a portion of her | The | movement of the Gusty formsof his guardians, aurea be shot Beries Saree Seids, JumPine ces, and keeping straight Read S Tection he thonght would taze him towards the city. He ran for about three-quarters of an hour, when he entered 8 thick woods, and in bis weakly state, being really broken dow2 by fatigue, he sought a place of eoneealment. He remained concealed for the ‘balance of the night, and all the mext day, frequen‘ly | seeing from his biding-piace the rebel seouts | searching for him, and scouring the bushes and woods. Finally, about sunset, slmost famished for water and food, he thought he would venture oa!, having-come to the con- clusion that freedom and starvation were near- ly as bad as being a prisoner without these de- privations. He fail kept to the woods, how- ever, and he soon s8w twomen moving to- wards him, carrying !arge bundles of hay. He walked up to them and asked them what they were doing with hay in the woods, when one of them reptied:— We have hid our horses in the woods to keep them out of the | bands of the d—d rebels, and we are going to | feed them.” This reply was a sufficient indi- cation of their sentiments, and he immediately made known to them the circumstances of his presence in the woods, and who he was. They greeted him kindly and cordially, dropped their hay, and conducted him by & secluded | route to their farm-house, where he was most kindly and hospitably received and enter- | tained, both by the old gentlemaa and the la- dies of his tamily. | _ Being ina neighborhood surrounded by rebel sympathizers, and some of the rebel scouts still frowise around,apparently watehing for him, is whereabouts was kepta profound secret by his loyal host, who, on nesday, set about devising means oi getting him to the city. This | he accomplished, and, at midnight on Wednes- day, a carriage went out from the city and re- turned with Majqr General Franklin, feeling, | as he expreseed himsel, more free than ever he bad betore felt in bis life. We donotgive the name of this gallant Mary- and farmer at present, for the reason that he fears rebel retribution, should any more of the | banditti be still in the neighborhood. | The General was preparing to leave this | morning again for Philadelphia, to join his | faroily at York, Pa.. where he willspenda few ‘weeks in recuperating his shattered health. It is but proper to state that Colonel Weolley went out on Wednesday night with the escort and brought the General to the city, he having been advised of bis whereabouts during the day. ; . 0.0.

The following isa brief acc pont of his capture and escape: He was seated in the car, at the time of his capture, alongside of a wounded lieutenant colonel, when a rebel officer camein the train and addressing himself tothe wounded man, said, “Are you Major General Franklin?” He replied that he was not, and gave bim hisname and rank.

We learn that a portiom of Moseby’s force, under command of a Capt. Manier, passed Teesburg, a little to the south, at an early hour during the night of Tuesday. They had charge of 950 head of cattle, and each man was leading ahorse. The force numbered abont 20, and they didnot appear to notice anything as they Passed, but seemed intent upon pashing their way forward. They were subsequently heard of as passing Suickersville, and moved on down this side of the mountaias and passed Ashby’s Gap, although it was said they in- tended-going throngh the latter. Another body of rebel cavalry (whose has not transpired) was heard of between Salem and Chester Gapon Wednesday at noon. Thair course indicated that they would leave Cal- peper on their left and push forward to some point in Madison county. Harry Gilmore and his gang of horse thieves and incendiaries were among the last to cross the Potomac, which they did @ little above Ed- wards’ Ferry, and after crossing, 8 forceof two or three hundred was detached from the main command and moved in the direction of Snick- ersyille, the main force moving in 8 due south- west direction, apparently ina direct course to Ashby’s Gap. Breckinridge and staff were near Leesburg on Wednesday morning early and superin- tended the movement past there. A REPORTED MOVEMENT OF THE REBELS ON THE MANASSAS ROAD, To-day reports were breught into Alexan- dria that, last evening, cars were heard running as ifto Manassas, from the South, indicating that the rebels have repaired that road to Ma- nassas, and were using it for some purpose, We suppose due inquiry will be made to as- certain whether the report has any foundation. INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF THE REBEL INVASION. The Invading Force not less than Thirty- five or Forty Thousand Strong—They have 40 Cannon on the Blair Place. Rebel sympathizers who, on Monday, were jubilant in this city with the idea that Wash- ington was soon to be in Confederate posses- sion, and showed their faith in it, some of them to the extent of going out to assist the rebels in its capture, now speak of the invasionists as a mere raiding party of some 5,000 men, (a “‘raid- ing party of 5,000 men,” indeed, with two major generals and half a dozen brigadier generals !) All the reports received to-day, brought in by intelligent parties, resident at various points visited by the rebels, concur in fixing the rebel foree in front of Washington at not less than thirty thousand men, leaving out of account rebel detachments stationed at other points, for purposes of observation or sent ont for raid- ing purposes. From Mr. J. E. Turton, of this city, who enjoyed superior opportunities for observation, having been 1n the hands of the rebels at Silver Spring during their entire stay there, we get scme clear and interesting particulars. He was filling a contract in remodeling the Montgomery Blair house, which is—or was— perhaps an eighth of a mile from the house of Francis P. Blair. About eleven o'clock on Monday morning he was surprised by the appearance of six rebels, who dropped down upon him as if from the skies. They inquired whose house it was, and articularly if it was the house of Lincoln's Postmaster General, and on learning tnat it ‘was, the leader of the gang exclaimed to the others, “This house must go up!” The house was locked up, (not being in present use by Mr. Blair,) and they proceeded to break open the doors and despoilit, scattering books (of which they seemed to have an indifferent opin- ion) and papers around inevery direction, and carrying off whatever they deemed would be of use to them. They did the same at the honse of Francis P. Blair,and found there what they deemed an especial 7prize, an excellent county map of the Stateof Maryland. This map was care- Tony borne away, aud for many hours after- wards a corps of Rebel draughtsmen (eccupy- ing the house of Themas Gettings, at the third toll gate) were busily employed over it making Sketches and cepies. The main body of the Rebel forces did not appear in front of Fort Stevens, but remained encamped en the Wil- son farm about a mile and a half beyond Blair’s, on the 7th street road At this point (Wilson’s farm) there were not Jess than 25,000 or 30,000 men. Neither did the rebels bring forward their artillery, but parked it (forty pieces of field patent 2) in the orchard and fields of the Blair farm. Thisartillery dia not arrive until about 2 o’clock Monday after- noon. The rebels had 576 prisoners, taken at the battle atthe Monocacy, at the Wilson farm, under guard. Mr. Turton saw and conversed with the rebel Generals Early, Breckinridge, Ransom, Gordon and Rameeur. Gen. Gordon questioned him particularly as to the number of troops in Washington and the condition of the dejences. Mr. Turton evaded the questions by saying he had not been in Washington for some days. Breckinridge has grown stout and gray. He was dressed, like the other rebel generals, in coarse homespun gray,and hada long mus- tache, but no whiskers. The officers did not letanything fall in Mr. Turton’s presence as to whether they intended an attack upon Wash- ington, but the men talked quite freely of what they would do If they got possession of Wash- ington. They would not leave one stove upon another, they said. The rebels began to leave the vicinity of Silver Spring about 9o0’clock Tuesday night, and atl! o’clock they set fire to the house of Montgomery Blair, as their rear was moving away. They offered no personal harm to Mr. Turton, but took his change of clothing, and on hisremonstrating, they said «We can’t halp it, you are where you can get plenty, we can’t” The rebel artillery brought up the rear as they moved off. THE DOINGS OF THE REBELS. Ed. Tyler, 2 son of Major Tyler, formerly ot the U. S. Marines, was with the rebels in front of Fori Stevens, and left a letter at the house of Mr. Fenwick, beyond Blair's, in which he sta- ted that be understood that Marshal Lamon lived in his father’s house, (F street, near 7th,) and he would like very much to haye the pleasure of burning it down. Marshal Lamon had four valuable horses near Beltsville in pasture, which we hear through colored people, were carried off by the rebels. Mr. Duvall living a short distance from Bla- densburg, had two horses taken from bim and several old “bags of bones” left in their places. THE PURSUIT OF THE REBELS—-CAPTURE OF PRISONERS, Our troops now in pursuit of the invaders, continue to pick up numbers of rebel prisoners.
