ARBIVAL OF THE HOSPITAL STEAMER CON- sie NECTICUT. betas The hospital steamer Connecticut arrived at | the Sixth street wharf on Saturday evening, | from City Point, bringing up five hundred sick and wounded officers and men, mostly of the cavalry corps. On Thursday, while the Connecticut was lying at anchor off Newport News, aman, sitk With fever, and said to be a correspondent of | the Philadelphia newspapers, jumped over- | board and was drowned. He leaves a family | ee consisting of a wife and child. Assistant Surgeon Hood, who has charge of | this boet, has been promoted to a full Surgeon. | The Connecticut is engaged to-day In trarns- por.ing convalescents from the hospitals in thus city to the steamer Baltic, lying off Alex- andria, onable to reach this city, owing to the | amount of water she draws. The Baltic, after receiving her cargo of convalescents, will sail | tor New York. The Baltic is a fine, large | steamer, and is chartered at a cost to the Gov- ernment of one thousand dollars per day. ANOTHER BRAVE OFFICER GONE. We learn that Colonel Daniel McUook, (act- ing Brigadier) of the celebrated fighting McCook family of Ohio, died yesterday at Cin- cinnati, of wounds received at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain. Colonel McUook was ‘wounded while charging earthworks. He is the fourth of the McUook family who have been kiiled since the rebellion—the father and three sons.—and what is most singular, all have been Killed or died in the month ot July. OUR JACK TARS OOME IN COLLISION WITH THE REBEL RAIDERS. U. S. SteaMER “Fucusta,” BusH RIVER Baines, Mp., July 12, 1561.—Editor Star: You ‘will be somewhat surprised at my letter being headed from this section of the country. Sun- | day last at noon laying off Point Lookout, we | received orders to proceed with all despatch to this place and protect this bridge. Inside of five minutes we were steaming up the Chesa- peake Bay. Shortly after leaving our anchor- age we passed the gun boat‘Currituck” bound to Havre de Grace. We arrived off the mouth of this riverat 11 p.m. Sunday night, as we had no pilot on board acquainted with the channel, which is only our draught of water, = — we were compelled to anchor for the ight. At daylight we were under weigh again, but could not find the channel. About 9a.m.a schooner was discovered coming down the river. Overhanling her, the captain cheer- fully consented to pilot us up to the bridge, where we arrived at 11 a. m., and began moor- ing our vessel to bring our guns to bear upon both ends of the bridge. The rebel cavalry ef Gilmor’s command appeared at the.south end of the bridge at the time we arrived, but retired when they saw us, their design, no doubt, being the destruction ofthis bridge,butfortunatelyour tumely arrival prevented them. We foundthe steamboat Minna here, in charge of an ensign, U.S. N., @ howitzer and crew. which was sent around from Baltimore to assist the small guard of 1S men in protecting the bridge. Upon the appearance of the cavalry, the guard, being new men, left the bridge and went on board the Minna. Captain Street, of the Fuchsia, being the senior officer here, soon made him- self acquainted with the situation of affairs. From the passengers of the two captured trains, who were coming in from Magnolia, he learned of the capture and destruction of the two trains, and also of the burn- ing otf the Gunpowder River Railroad Bridge. Pickets were then stationed down the road towards the disaster, and every- thing remained quiet until sunset; the pickets was séen running iu and across the bridge. From them we learned that there was a ruil- road engine coming up the road from Magnolia. As no engine could have crossed the bridge at CGranpowder, we knew it must be one of the engines attached to the destroyed trains. Be- sides, the escaped passengers informed us of tm rebe!s preserving the engine for their own use, and boasted they would burn this bridge to-night. We were immediately at our guns, and awaited the approach of the rebels. As soon as the engine reached the edge of the ‘woods, at the end of the bridge, we opened upon them with our six guns. Skortly aftecvetzas Captain Street, with Ohiet En- gineer Mockabee and fifteen men, lande: Grossing the bridge, and advanced under the fire of our guns, (which were throwing shell then to the rear of the engine,) across the fence side of the road to the engine. Mr. Mockabee jamped on board of it, and immedi- ately started ahead with his prize. All hands got aboard, and we were soon safe across the bridge, exchanging siguals with the “Fuschia” by the steam whistle; the air resounding with cheers from our gallant crew. Captain Street determined to send his prize to Havre-de-Grace, and accordingly gave Mr. Mockabee orders to proceed immediately to that place with the captured engine and a guard of soldiers, where the engine arrived in due time Entering the town, the cheering of the soldiers was deafening, particularly from the sailors who were there from the Philadel- phia navy yard, doing guard duty, the partic- ulsrs of her capture by Captain Street and Mr. Mockabee had been telegraphed on there, and House Carpenters’ Association will be at German Hall, llth #t.,on TURSDAY NIGE®. at? o'clock, A punctual attendance is reques , All journeymen are invited. | By order of the Secretary. iy 18-2t* (1 ABTENTION KNIGHTS THMPLAR —The 3 Mon bersof Washington ané Colambis Com- Tmanderies are requested to meet at their Asyium in full regalia, on WEDNESDAY, 2th instant, af $2 o’clock, p. m., to act asan escort to the Grand Lodge and Chapters.

Whereas by the act approved July 4, 1561, entitled “Am act further to regulate and provide for the enrolling and calling out the natronal forces, and for other purposes,” it is provided that the President, of the United States may, s#at his discretion, at any time nereafter, call for any number of men, as volunteers, for the respective terms of one, two, and ‘three years for military service,” and that in.case the quota or any part thereof, of any town, township, or ward of a city, pre- cinct, or election district, or of a county not so sub-divided; shall not be filled within the space of fifty days after such call, then the Presi- dent shall instantly order a draft for one year to fill such quota or any part thereof, wiich may be unfilled.” Ard whereas the new enrolment heretofore orderedisso far completed as that the afore- mentioned act of Congress may now be put in operation for recruiting and keeping up the strength of the armies in the field tor garrisons and such military operations as may be re- quired for the purpocze of suppressing the re- bellion and restoring the authority of the United States Government in the insurgent States. Now. therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, do issue this my call for fivé hundred thousand volunteers for the military service. Provided, neverthe- less, that this call shall be reduced by all cred- its which may be established under section 8 of the aforesaid act, on account of persons who have entered the naval service during the present rebellion, and by credits for men fur- nished to the military service in excess of calls heretofore made. Volunteers will be accepted under this call for one, two or three years, as they may elect, and will be entitled to the bounty provided by the law for the period of service for which they enlist. And 1 hereby proclaim, order, and direct, that immediately after the fitth day of Septem- ber, 1864, being fifty days from the date of this call, a draft for troops to serve for one year shall be had in every town, township, ward of a city, precinct, or election district, or county, ‘not so subdivided, to fill the quota which shall ;be assigned to it under this call, or any part ithereof, which may be unfilled by volunteers on the said fifth day of September, 1964, In testimeny whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this eighteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord, (L. s.] one thousand eight hundred and sixty- four, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-ninth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, By the President: Wm. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State. ARRIVAL OF FRENCII WAR VESSELS, On Saturday afternoon the Amphion French swar steamer arrived in the Eastern Branch, and anchored off the Navy Yard. Another French steamer of a larger size is anchored off Alexandria, and a third is below. Itis stated that one of these vessels brought dispatches from the French Consul at New York to the Minister here, the interruption of railroad com- munication rendering this mode the safest, and the other vessels came around to take off the Legation should it become necessary. OUR CAPTURES, The tota] number of prisoners captured by our forces in this vicinity since the invasion, and which have passed through the Provost Marshal's office, is four hundred and seven. The following were brought in yesterday :— ple 2 Jacebs, Ist Va. cavalry; John M. Maze, 23a N. C.; Norris Stone, 12th Va. cavalry; John Buckey, 22d Va. cavalry; R. A. Ashford, 12th Ga.; John T. Maxwell, 4th Ga.; Joseph Goff, Moceby’s Battalion; Joseph B. Baily and F. B. Farley, 22d Va. cay. THE EFFECT OF THE RAID, The last rebel invasion of the State of Mary- land, 80 disastrous to the property of the peo- ple of that State, has had the good effect to change the opinion of many who have hitherto ‘sympathized with the South. Some of the far- ‘mers of Anne Arundel lost some horse-flesh, ‘which at the time was in Montgomery or other counties raided over. The losers by this raid are said to be exceedingly indifferent Jeff.

An officer from the front informs us that the Tebels at the front have fallen back within their outer line of fortifications around Atlan- ta. They extend three miles beyond the city, and have been made very strong of late. There are 20,000 militia within the entrench- Ments, everybody able to bear arms having been pressed into service. Johnston will prob- ably give battle there. The rebels are moving all their supplies from Atlanta to Augusta, showing that they expect to retreat. Gen, Sherman cannonaded the rebels heavily last Wednesday before crossing. We areon the eveof highly importantevents. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. e FROM THE SOUTH. Successful Operations by Gen. Canby. PHILADELPAIA, July 18.—Private letters from Morganzia, June 30th, state that General Canby is very actiyely engaged , perfecting ar- jTangements for military operations in the yi- cinity of Morganzia and Red river. General Uhiman, with a large portion of his forces, has reached Morganzia, where he has been placed in command of all colored troops. The fortifications of Morganzia are most for- midable, commanding a range of some six miles of the Mississippi river, which at this point makes a bend of some distance. The position is deemed of the utmost imporiance. The rebels have large forces stationed on’the west of the Atchafalya river, some nine miles in the rear of Morganzia, and parallel to the Mississippi river. Our gunboats during high water can easily prevent the crossing of the Atchatalaya by the rebels, but during the low stage of theriver their crossing can be pre- vented by the land forces of Gen. Ullman, en- camped on the east bank. A large Union force is being collected near Morganzia, amply sufficient for offensive or defensive operations. No offensive movements upto the 50th ult. have been made by the enemy, but the activity which has been infused into this department by Maj. Gen. Canby indicates that lively op- erations are not far distant. Railway Accident. LackAWASEN, Pa., July 15.—A train, with about $50 rebel prisoners on their way tothe camp at Elmira, collided witha Pennsylva- nia Coal Company’s train near Shonola this afternoon, ki!ling and wounding a large ‘number, reported at overone hundred. The train with the prisoners should have left Jersey City this morning at 4.30, but was de- layed, and thrown out of time one hour by the captain of the guard, who returned to the vessel on which'they came from Oity Point to ‘hunt up three prisoners who hadescaped from him. The coal train on its way from Hawley Branch to Port Jarvis neglected to ascertain if the other train was behind time, and went on, striking the latter at a crooked part of the road ‘where the engineers could not see far ahead to avoid a casualty.

The charge is the larceny of $100 from a soldier named Lewis D. Wolfe. Wolfe went-out riding in a hack with the defendant, Saturday. Upon returning to Emma Black's, being drowsy. he wanted to lie down, and handed defendant his money forsafe keeping. ‘When he awoke he asked defendant for his money, and detendant took twonotes out of her stocking put it in his pocket book and gave it to him. Upon examination he found thata $100 note was missing. In his anxiety to recover his money he was swindled out of $10'by a bo- ges detective, and out of $5 by a hackman. he case was dismissed by Justice Clayton, who issued warrants for the arrest of Cy Black and James McCabe ihe. proprietors of the ranche. eS ee Bopy Founp.—The body of Alexender Earp, who was drowned July 4th, om am excursion down river, has been recovered by his relatives, and the funeral takes place this afternoon. The body was found about four miles below Alexandria, and appears to have been in the hands of a party of thieves, who stripped.it of money, rings, &c. There seems to-be no doubt that the body drifted ashore as long ago as Tuesday last, and the supposition is that the pores in whose possession it, was concealed he fact of its being found, in hopes of a reward being offered for its recovery.
