THE EVENING STAR. id Proprietor. W. D. WALLACH, Editer WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY..........00¢.--JULY 16, 1564. ————————————————————— B7-READING MATTER ON EVRY PAG. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. EXTRA. THE EXIT OF THE REBEL RAIDERS lp iy nd ge Force of Cavalry ig Things’’ Generally. A force of rebel raiders numbering between 350 and 50u strong passed through Little Wash- ington, Sperryville and Creighersville o2 Thursday night on their way towards Madison ©. H. and Gordonsville. They had 160 horres with them and 25 prisoners, who were mounted upon the captured horses, which were led by the rebels. The rebels passed Creighersville about & o'clock, and half an hour afterwards a small forceof Union cavalry, from the West, who crossed the Shenandoah about Conrad’s store, made their appearance at the same place, and proceeded atter the rebels. The latter gave out that they were making their way to Gor- donsville, and thence to Richmond. They seemed to be in a hurry, having re- ceived infermation that Sheridan was between them and Richmond with a large cavalry forcer “smashing” things generally. This rebel gang was doubtiess part of the Tebel force lately operating in Maryland. FROM UP RIVER. Capture of Bradley Johnson—His Recap- ture by the Rebels. ‘We learn that the rebels, in leaving this vi- cinity, sent most of their spoils through Rock- ville on Tuesday, and, in following, they gob- bled up any articles that had escaped them when coming through that place on Sunday. ‘The several stores of the place were complete- ly gutted. Our cavalry came upon their rear on Wed- nesday morning, and a brisk skirmish ensued, lasting four hours, in which each side charged through the town, and a number were killed and wounded. During the morning Bradle Jobneon’s horse was shot in the leg and Tamed, and he was captured by our men, who, how- ever, did not recognize bim, although they knew him to be an officer. He was being sent to our rear, in charge of two men, when the — made a desperate charge and rescued m. The rebels, to evade immediate pursuit at the river fords, blocked up the road with brush, logs and broken wagons. A soldier of the 67th New York volunteers, the name of Upheimer, was hung yesterday afternoon at one o’clock, near Poolesville, on charge of being a deserter andaspy. He had jumped three bounties and deserted to the enemy, and afterward reappeared again within gar lines. He met his fate with brutish inaif- ference. FROM CITY POINT. The mail steamer John Brooks arrived here this morning at six e’clock, from City Point, which place she left yesterday morning at ten o'clock. She brings no news, but reports considerable uneasiness manifested by boatmen on the James Fiver, occasioned by the withdrawal of several of our gunboats, and the firing upon several steamboats by the rebels, from field pieces on the banks of the river. The Brooks brought ML Seyrhes Ford, wifeand child, refugees trom Prince George county. KINCHELOE RBPORTED KILLED AGAIN. it is ramored in Alexandria that one of the notorious Kinchelees, who was in command of the rebels who attacked our Home Guards at Accotink day before yesterday, was killed, @fter retreating to Springfield Station, where a skirmish ensued, our cavalry having come up with them. This makes about the fifth bares each of the Kincheloes has been ; yet somehow they always man: like Pillicoddy’s “first,” to “turn eu a Tt is to be hoped that he will stay killed this time. UFFIUBKS BSLIEV By. Gen. McCook, Gen. Payne and Gen. Double- day have been relieved from duty in the De- partment of Washington. Gen. McCook will report to the Adjutant General for instructions, and Generals Boubleday and Payne will re- sume their positions on general courts-martial. Gen. Harden has been ordered to resume the command of his division, garrisoning the d3- fences of Washington north of the Potomac. Daisy {Griiecerae akn Soear THE MANASSA8 RAILROAD. We learn from parties from near Manassas that the rebels are not using that road, as was reported. On the contrary, due inquiry shows that they have removed such iron as they could gather up, and transported it further south; no doubt to repair roads leading from Richmond, and of more immediate importance to them. 7 From Hudson Taylor, 331 Pennsylvania avenue, we have the August number of /ar- per’s Magazine, also the May number of Black- wood’s Magazine, and the,May number of the North British Review, atfording a budget of ex- cellent reading. Trz ArrRoacHinG REsuMrPTioN or Hos- TILITIES IN EvRorn.—The German papers profess to regard, with much equanimity, the possibility of a war with England. Most of them advise their government to imstall the Duke ef Augustenburg immediately, and regulate the limits of the new State hereafter. The Nationa! Gazette of Berlin, while ad- mitting that the maritime trade of Germany would have tosuffer from the English block- ade, endavors to prove that England, notwith- standing her fleets, could not prevent Ger- many from procisiming the independence of Schieswig-Holstein, nor of defending Jutland against the disembarkation of an Anglo-Danish corps. The Berlin journal, besides, observes that England, by blockading the German ports, would cause a sensible damage to her own trade. Tse Norrumen Central Railwar.—A large force of workmen have been and are at present engaged in repairing the damage done tbe Northern Central railway by the rebels during the recent raid, and it is confidently ex- pected that by Tuesday next, at furthest, the trains will be dispatched as usual. The dam- age, although quite heavy, is not so extensive 88 was at first Lo gapeeees Trains will be Tun to Cockeysville, on Parkton accommoda- tion trains time, to-day. ‘The trains on the Western Maryland railroad are now running as usual to Union Bridge, Jeaving Baltimore at930a.mand6p.m. This roid escaped entirely from injury, although the rebel cavalry under Gilmor were in the immediate vicinity of the line for some days, and in fact it several times. ExrvuLsion oy CoRRESPONDENTS.—T Wo ar- my correspondents, Mr. Wm. Swinton, of the New York Times, and Mr. Kent, of the Tri- bune, have been ordered by Gen. Meade to jeave the Army of the Potomac, and not re- turn again on pain of imprisonment. They are charged with having published incorrect ‘etatements of army operations. The offence imputed is understood to relate to an alleged depreciation of the fighting qualities of the Ninth Army Corps during @ recent engage- ment.—J. ¥. \. CAPTURE OF PuISONERS aT MARTINSETURG. ‘The Wheeling Intelligencer ot Monday last aBys: General Sullivan's advance reached Mar- tdosburg yesterday, entered the place, and took many prisoners Suilivan commands the advance of General Hunter's forces.

The Philadelphia Trains to be Run To- Day—No More Rebel Raiders about Bal- timere. Baxtimorg, July 16.—The Philadelphia Railroad Company have made arrangements for running trains over their road to-day. The Gunpowder bridge is not yet repaired, but a foot-bridge has been constructed around the burnt portion, so that passengers can reach the train. The bridge was ‘more seriously dam: than at first reported, and the loco- motive having fallen down between the piles, it has been found very difficult to remove it. Reports of the presence of rebel cavalry near here are believed to be entirely incorrect. Our cavalry have made a thorough examination of the country in the vicinity, but could find no armed rebel anywhere. It is sup that some of our citizen scouts sent out ym Baltimore, were taken by the country people fer rebels, and hence the re- port. Tae Hicu Prices.—The New York Com- mercial Advertiser shows that prices have ad- vanced more in the last three years in this country than they did in Great Britain during over twenty years of the long period of wars ending in 1815. A table of the prices of fifteen articles and kind of labor, taken at the Green- Wich Hospital in 1790 and again in 1812, indi- cates an advance of 125 per cent. During this riod the national debt increased $2,200,- 000. Within the last three years our nation- al debt has increased only $1,750,000,000. And et a comparison of prices in the case of fifteen leading articles, three of them only being im- ported, shows that during the last thirty months prices have advanced on an average two hun- dred and twenty-five per cent. on normal rates. It appears, moreover, that the major part of this advance has occurred during the present year, and indeed, within the last three months. At nearly all times these general market prices have been considerably in advance of the price ofgold. At the present time the high price of produce is said to prevent its exportation, thus necessitating the transmission of more specie, so that produce is dragging up gold, instead of the reverse as many have supposed. THE PRick or NEWSPAPERS TO BE IN- CREASED.—The New York city newspapers, on er before the Ist day of August, will raise (the dailies) their prices to a five-cent standard. The advance would have taken place ere now but | for the disinclination of one establishment to venture upon the experiment. The increased and increasing cost of all the materials that enter into the manufacture of a newspaper has made this step & positive necessity, and one which can no longer be deferred.—Boston Her- LOST AND FOUND. ——— OBT—On Friday lnat,in this ci Geergote: Lorn tac caren OTS URZORLET ore with alumina, The finder will be liberally rewarded at No. 325,F strect. a ARs light bay MARE. with heavy mane and tail; white face. and both white hind on scar on the right stifle; about 13 hauds hig! orebout eix years old.

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS, The Rebel Expectations of Getting into Washington. The letters subjoined were written by a rebel officer, an ex- Washingtonian, wellknown in this city, while the rebel army of invasion was in front of the city. If any evidence is wanting that it was fully the intention of the rebels to make the attempt to take Washing- ton, and that they were at one time confident of success in that attempt, such evidence is supplied in these letters. The writer is a ‘oung man of fine promise, who, mislead by id counsels, left with other Washingtonians here to join the traitorous‘gang at Richmond, and he returned to strike a parricidal hand at the city of his birth.

I can hardly realize that I am here; it seems like apleasant dream to be in sucha ta- miliar place. I certainly expected to nave been in Washington last night, but fate decreed otherwise, and for fear that I will not get there I will write. I am well—have not been hurt and have been fighting almost every day. My horse has been snot from under me, but I have not been toucted. I wonder how youalllook. I would give worlds to see you all again, and 1 know you all want to see me, but I suppose we will have to wait till a kind Providence grants our prayer: 1 fixed up nicely to come to W., and if we do not get there it will be asore disap- pointment to me; but, however, as a good sol- dier, I will have to trust in the sagacity ofour General and valor of our boys. We have been skirmishing here all the morning, bat no gen- eral engagement has taken place; when it does come off I will fight hard to come home. All the W—— boysare well.

For tear that 1 should not succeed in seeing you, I will write. We crossed the river about a week ago, and was received by the people in this section of the state much better than I anticipated, and I assure you I had a most glorious time. You cannot imagine how I would lowe tosee you, and h2ve areal good old talk. I only pray that we may meet soon. I have been very Incky; been fighting almost every day now for seven or eight weeks, and have never received a scratch. My horse was shot from under me at Salem, whilst’ Harry Gilmore and myself were chargingsome Yankee cavalry. I have had a fine company, and my Tauster rolls show a fine record; ont of 75 men who were on my rolls, 1 have now but 25 for duty—the rest are either killed, wounded or prisoners. At the battle of New Market my company suffered more than any in the fight, having lost two killed and seyen badly wounded. Tom Darden, Ed Jones, and Jack Everett are with me here, and all ask to be remembered. Remember me to Uharley, your mother, George, your wife, and ail friends.

A BRAVE CAVALRYMAN, Andrew Myers, of company M, 13th Penn. vereies; Maving avy ocparaied irom Dis regi- ment, left this city on Wednesday to rejoin the same. When several miles from the city he came upon two rebel soldiers. he peers by presenting a fovilwetite toe eads and demanding their surrender. He brought his prisoners to this city and turned them over to Provost Marshal In; and on Thursday morning again started on his journey, but had not proceeded far before he overtook two more “Johnnies,” whom he took prisoners also, and again returned to Col. In- grabam’s office, where he delivered up his charge. Yesterday morning Myers made an- otber attempt to overtake his command, but strange to say. when between Tennallytown and Rockviile he teil in with four more of the rebel stragglers, whom he ordered to “about face” and march to Washington. Myers ac- companied his prisoners to the city, where they were committed to the Old Capitol to keep the company of thoge previously captured by the dashing cavalryman. SENTENCE OF A DEFRAUDING PAYMASTER, Major H. k. Thomas, an additional paymasur in the United States army, has been tried by a court martial held in this city, upon the charge of detrauding the Government, and sentenced to ‘sorteit all pay and allowances now due or to become due him, to be confined in the State Penitentiary at Albany, New York, for six years, and to pay the Government of the United States $55,000, and upon noa paymant to be confined until the same is paid; provided the whole term of his imprisonment shali not exceed 12 years.” MORE REBHFL PRISONERS.

Anderson, 23d Virginia battery; James Collins, 27th Virginia; G. B. Carter, 1st Maryland; and Peter Deal and T. H. Deal, supposed to belong to Breckinridge’s division. FROM SHERMAN’S ARMY. He is Across the Chattahoochee—Reported Capture of 2,000 More Prisoners. The Chattanooga Gazette of Sunday says: “Unofficial advices baye reached this city that a large proportion of Sherman's forces have successfully crossed the Chattahoochee, and that at least two thousand of Hardee’s corps have been gobbled by the Great Flanker. Indeed, rumor sets the figures at not less than five thousand; but as we never deal in sensa- tions, we place them at two thousand. Johnston is still “drawing” Sherman. He will soon have himin Atlanta. Jobnston is good on “draw;” but judging from the books atthe P. M. General’s office, he is losing 4 great many “chips.” It is with sincere regret that we learn that Col. Frank Sherman, Chief of Gen. Howard's staff, is a prisoner. Ool. Sherman is from Chi- cago, and is as well and favorably known as any man in the North west.” ‘arther advices fully coufirmthe crossing ofthe Chattahooche. And the secure lodze- ment of our forces on the south side of that stream. Weshall expect to hear the fall of Atlanta within a few days. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. ee FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

The petitioner alleged in the petition that he married her about-one year since; that she shortly after left him and went to a houseof prostitution, where she remained about nine m<ntbs, and left for the West, and is now man- aging a house in Philadelphia. M. Thompson for p!aintiff. A_ decree waz also made, divorcing Ann McGuire and Timothy McGuire from bed and board. The petitioner alleged ill treatment, and the evidence in the case was to the effect that shortly after they were married, (in 1860) he commenced getting drunk and ill treating her, threatening to kill her and driving her from the house. Mr. Lloyd for petitioner, and Mr. Norris for respondent. In some decrees granted heretofore by Judge Olin, a clause was inserted when adultery was proved, restraining the detendant from marrying again, but it seems that Judge Cart- ter holds that Court has no such power, as he refused to make such a decree.
