LATE FROM SHERMAN. ——————— He is Still Vi, ly Advancing—Gar- rard makes a Successful Raid on the Connections with Atlanta. ee age NASHVILLE, July 25.—The remains of Gen. McPherson reached here at 9 a. m. to-day,and were escorted to the Louisville depot by the 15th regulars. Official news from the front of Atlanta is meagre, but no reverses are reported. Sherman still maintains his position, and is vigorously advancing. Gen. Rosseau has successfully fulfilled his Orders, and reports a loss of only 12 of his commard. Gen. Garrard’s expedition has been success- Tul, destroving bridges at Covington, 40 miles east of Atlanta, destroyed public stores at Covington and Coneyers, including 2,000 bales of cotton, locomotive and train of cars, cap- turing 200 prisoners and a number of horses. Our losses in the recent battles foot up some- thing less than two thousand. We have found over one thousand dead Tebels, which, with the usual proportion of ‘Wounded, will make their loss over seven thousand. Our army is in good condition, and the situ- ation fayorable. ———_+<-e--—____ SECRETARY FESSENDEN TO THE PEOPLE. The appeal of the Secretary of the Treasury to the American people has the right ring. He states clearly, concisely, but with a certain quiet eloquence, the requirements of the Goy- ernment, financially , to the end o% the success- ful prosecution of the war, and tells the People that it is ‘cir affair; that the war is their war, and that to stand by the Government and sus- tain the national credit is not only a matter of patriotism but of interest; of self-preserva-* tion. His exposition of the present financial con- dition is hopeful» but bears the impress of truthfulness in its calm, lucid statements. His enunciation of & purpose to restrain the vole ume of the currency will give him the confi-e dence of the leading financial men of the coun- try; and the provisions of the new loan as an- nounced are sagaciously practical, affording an opportunity for making an excellent in» vestment of small or large sums: and the loan is thus emphatically the people’s loan, as is the war. RETURNED.—Secretary Seward and Assis. ant Secretary of State, Fred Seward, returned to this city yesterday afternoon at 6 o’clock on board the U.S. Revenue Cutter Waywanda, Captain White, from their trip to Fortress Monroe. ———— AN UNEXCEPTIONALE APPOINTMENT.— Moses Taylor has been @ppointed Assistant Treasurer at New York, to succeed Mr. Cisco, Whose continued ill-health compels him to re- tire from office. <2 -+__ FROM SHENANDOAH VALLEY. A Battle near Winchester—Return of the Rebel Raiders—Reports ef Disasters— Averill Back to Harper’s Ferry—The Kebels at Martin: Suspension of Railroad Travel. The Bal timore American of to-day says:—The city was last night full of ramors of rebel Movements in the Shenandoah Valley, to- gether with vague accounts of disasters to the foree under Gen . Averill, which last week at- tacked and defeated a portion of Gen. Early’s raiders near Winchester. Among the rumors ‘was the death of Gens. Kelly and Ayerill, as well as of Col. Mulligan. $ The facts, as far as we haye been able to as- certain them, are that Gen. Averill, after his successful encounter with Early’s forces, pur- sued them to the mountains beyond Winches- ter, where Early made a stand, and after heavy fighting on Saturday and Sunday, the rebels having been in the meantime largely rein- forced, Gen. Averill was compelled to fall back to Harper’s Ferry, bringing with him the forces at Bunker Hill, and causing also the evacuation of Martinsburg. The rebelsappear to have pursued him in his retreat, and yester- day afternoon again occupied Martinsburg, where they cut the telegraph and commenced again the destruction of the track of the Baiti- more and Ohio railroad. Our forces, according to the best advices we could obtain, are now concentrated at Harper’s Ferry, under command of General Hunter whilst the rebels hold Martinsburg, and ru- mor states them to be in large force, but this can hardly be possible beyond the strength of Early’s and Breckinridge’s forces. Their ob- ject in returning 1s doubtless to give time for the safety of their trains of plunder, and to secure the collection of a portion of the crop in the Shenandoah Valley. That they may again come into Maryland for more plunder is high- ly probable, especially if they find the way open to them, as is generally the case in the military management of affairs along the bor- der. As to the extent of the disaster to our forces in the fight beyond Winchester, we have no authentic information, nor have we any con- firmation of the rumors of the death of Gens. Averill, Kelly, and Colonel Mulligan. It is not Jikely, however, all three of these officers bave falien, and we are inclined to doubt the whole story. We learn that orders were sent to remove the army and medical stores from Frederick last night, as & matter of precaution, and to prepare to evacuate the city in case of the ad- vance of the rebels unchecked in that direc- tion. That the official tmtelligence from the Val- ley last evening was not as tayorable as could be desired, may be interred from the fact that General Wallace convened the Loyal ues Jast night, to advise with them as to hol ing themselves in readines®in case their services may be required for the defence of the city. These precautions are, of course, advisable, and our citizens should be in readiness, at all | — to te aoe invaders, and to prevent eir repeating the outrages recent, ° ted in the vicinity of the city. sammiecnne Dispatches received here last night merely announced that General Averill had been com- pelled to retire before a superior force to Har- per’s Ferry, but mentioned no serious disag- ters. Travel Suspended en the Baltim. PeOhio Railroad, potions Atanearly hour yesterday afternoon, dis. patches were received from Sandy Hook and other points, by the Master of Transportation, to the effect that hostile movements had been resumed on the part of the enemy, and that it ‘would be hazardous to attempt to ron cars through as usual. The train which lett Cam- den Station Zesteréay morning proceeded as far as Sandy Hook, when those in charge, yielding to the » tion of Gen. Hunter, who was then at r’s Ferry, returned. The number of passengers trains was not large. The train which was to have left here at a quarter past 9 o'clock last evening, of + course, under the circumstances, did not leave, force icity a and routed the Federal forces, and were dam- aging the railroad, and a large number of per- sons congregated at the Camden Station and Temained there until night. Latest Sart mete sestectiae ae The train whi re yes mol for the West and proceeded as faras Sandy Hook, returned about 7 o’clock Iast evening, and all the cars were crowded with passen- gers. Some of them were Federal officers, who a that a heavy fight had taken place between Harper’s Ferry and Winchester, and that Hunter had been repulsed. Several pieces of artillery had been captured, also a large humber of men of two brigades. It is impos- sible to ascertain the true state of affairs in that region, but there isno doubt that a serious disaster has occurred to the forces of General Hunter, s | ANOTHER ACCOUNT. | | The. Baltimore Sun says: At an early hour yesterday morning rumor Was rife that a battle had taken place Edireen the Union and rebel forces near Winchester, Va., and that the Union forces had sustained a repulse. Upcn inquiry at officlal quarters the following facts were ascertained : About eleven o’clock on Sunday morning, the rebel forces, under Generals Breckinridge and Early, attacked the Union forces, ander Generals Crook and Averill and Colonet Mul- ligan, at or near Winchester. There was also & portion of General Hunter's forces in the | fight, but General’ Hunter was not present, being at Harper’s Ferry. The battle lasted during the entire day, and when night closed in, the Union commanders, ascertaining that the rebels bec received large reinforcements, retired towards beh el and Harper's | Ferry. Yesterday morning they retired ym Martinsburg to Harper’s Ferry, after which the rebels occupied Martinsburg. Through the advice of General Hunter, Wm. Prescott Smith, mperintendent of the Baltémore and Ohio ad, ordered the pas- senger trains that had left this city for the ‘West yesterday morning to return, and for the present no preg or f ht trains will be Tun farther than r’s Ferry and Fred- erick. The trains from the West wi}l run only | asfaras Oumberland. This is done merely as fa Bgl measure until the actual state of affairs and the number of the rebels and their designs may be ascertained. The rnmors that passenger and freight trains have been captured are unfounded. t was announced that Colonel Mulligan (of | Lexington, Mo., fame,) ¢ommanding a brigade in the fight of Sunday, was killed. He was ‘wounded and seen to fall from his horse, and it was thought was killed. He was an officer well known to this country, and his death will be deplored by many friends. He has for the past year done much service in Western Vir- nae along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio It was stated that General Averill’s forces sustained the heaviest loss, as the rebels massed a large force against them during the fight, and succeeded in taking several guns from them, which, however, it is reported they succeeded in recapturing. ‘he actual forces of enemy are not known, but if another raid is contemplated into Mary- land, the military authorities are prepared to give them a warm reception. Brigadier General Tyler was in the city yes- terday evening, from the Relay House, and ‘Was at once assigned to important duties in the Ages section of the Middle Depart- ment. The losses in the fight on Sunday are said to have been quite severe on both sides, but in the absence of the official accounts from the General commanding the engagement, all fae trom unofficial authorities are with, eld, The repert Jast evening that the rebels had entered aryland by Shepherdstown and Sharpsburg, and occupied Hagerstown, were not officially confirmed, and not believed in military circles in this city. Reports reached this city yesterday after- noon that Gen. Averill had been killed in the fight on Sunday, but Gen. Hunter, at Harper’s Ferry, had not received, up to last evening, any confirmation of the rumor. Up to the hour of going to press there was nothing later received. The telegraph communication only extended as far »s Harper’s Ferry, and nothing could be ascertained in regard to the move- ments of the rebels. FINANCIAL.—The New York Commercial Advertiser of yesterday evening says: The improved feeling in Governments is marked. ‘here is some speculative demand, prompted by a prevailing impression that the jate depression in United States securities is only pom porary and that the high rates of in- terest will induce a material rise in prices Sie the money market becomes permanently easy. The money market continuedeasy. Lenders Gre at last seeking borrowers, and the supply is abundant for all legitimate purposes. The banks are withdrawing their deposits from the Sub Treasury, and large amounts sent west for the purchase of produce, are now finding their way back into the banks. The indications are that we have seen the end of the present extreme stringency, and that we shall have an om return to the six per cent rate of in- terest. Itis understood to be the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury toask for no imme- diate subscription to a definite amount of the seven-thirties, but to offer them for gradual absorption. This policy will contribute to- ‘ward a regular course of the money market, and will ultimately work best for the Treas- ury. Saenuons efforts are being made by thatsec- tion of the press lately vociferously opposed to currency issues, to persuade Secretary Fes- senden that he has no alternative but to con- tinne the greenback expansion by further liberalissues. Illustrations very suggestive of familiarity with the effects of free bibacious habits are freely resorted to, and we are as- sured that the only relief for the financial de- lirium tremens is to continue pouring into tha patient the fatal stimulant. This demand for more paper goes upon the supposition that the aggregate value of the Money afiost can be increased by an addition to its face amount—one of the most thoroughly exploded fallacies of the greenback school of finance, Do these late uncompromising oppo- nents of greenbacks need to bereminded of their old argument, that additional issues will only depreciate the currency already in circulation, without increasing the value available for the purposes of exchange? The truth is, that the stringency or ease of the money market de- pends much less than is generally supposed Spo the amountofcurrency. It is the amount of money upon the market, estimated in its purchasing value, that determines the condi- tion of the market; and as the farther issue of currency would depreciate the purchasing value in the same proportion as it increased the nominal amount, the market clearly conld not be really relieved by any addition to the cur- rency. The Evening Post says: Gold opened at 255 ¥, and advanced on sen- sation rumors from Atlanta to 259, closing dull at 258%. Exchange is extremely quiet at 280a282, and buyers prefer waiting in anticipa- tion of aspeedy decline. The specie price is 109, as bills are relatively eheaper than gold. The loan market is inactive, and thesupply is fully equal to the demand at 7 per cent. Five millions ot dollars were received at the New York Sub-Treasury to-day to redeem a ortion of the temporary loan made to the ‘overnment by the banks. : The stock market opened dull and closed with a small increase of activity. Govern- ments are strong, State stocks heaey, bank shares dull, coal shares tmproving, mining shares inactive, railroad bonds steady, and railroad shares improving.

THE BATTLE NEAR WINCHESTER. Ser No Guns Lost—No Generals Killed. Authentic particulars ef the fighting on Sat- mrday and Sunday near Winchester, and of the Bubsequent movements of the rebels, seem to come in rather slowly. As faras we can learn the loss was not so heavy on either side as the reports in some Of the morning papers would indicate. : Our cavalry, not in the best condition for fighting, was considerably broken up, but there ‘were no guns lost, we learn, and there is no confirmation of the report of the death of Gens. Kelly, Averill and Mulligan. The latter was badly, one report says, mortally wounded. ' There is a report current thatthe rebels have reoccupied Harper’s Ferry, which is not im- probable, but isa fact of no importance, as we fully hold Maryland Heights, which is the key to the position, i There is no confifmation of the report that the rebels have re-entered Maryland by the ‘way of Shepherdstown and Sharpsburg, and occupied Hagerstown. It is hardly possible that Early will venture to poke his nose far im this direction, as he must be aware that in doing so he will speed- ily encounter some very different fighting ma- terial from the thin and broken down columns of Hunter. SENTENCE OF GUERILLAS. The Military Commission, of which Major General Doubleday is president, now in ses- sion in this city, has tried Phillip Trammell, a citizen of Fairfax county, Va., upon the charge of violating the laws of war, in carrying on a guerilla warfare, and sentenced him to be shot to death with musketry at such time and place as the Secretary of War may direct. Jack Barnes, a native of Virginia, was also tried for breaking his oath of allegiance to the United States, for violating his parole, and for carrying on 4 guerrilla warfare. The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to be hung, but the sentences of both Trammell and Barnes have been commuted to imprisonment in the Albany penitentiary for a term of ten years, George Barrett, & citizen of Prince George’s county, Md., was tried by the commission for aiding soldiers to desert, and senteneed to pay a fine of $250, and be imprisoned for the term of one year in the Albany penitentiary. All three of the prisoners are now confined in the Old Capitol, and preparations are being made to execute the sentences, SERVED THEM RIGHT. This morning seventeen deserters from the Tebel service arrived here from the front, and Were taken to the Provost Marshal’s office, where blank forms of the oath of allegiance were filled out for them. Fourteen of the de- serters readily consented to take it, but three of them refused, until commitments to the Old Capitol were made out, when they suddenly changed their minds, and signifled @ desire to take the oath. Col. Ingraham, however, in- formed them that, as they had refused to take it when first offered to them, he could not af- ford them another opportunity, and they were accordingly sent to prison to await the action of Judge Turner. THE STORM ON THE BAY, The stormof Sunday night on the bay is said to have been terrific. The mail steamer High- land Light, from City Point, arrived here yes- terday five hours behind time, having expe- rienced very rough weather. Thesea at times ran entirely over her, swenplhg her fore and aft, breaking her joiner work and knocking all the windows out of her pilot-house. The mir- rors in the barber shop were thrown down and broken, and the furniture scattered about pro- miscuously. The Highland Light has been hauled off the mail route for repairs, and to- day the steamer Dictator took down the mails and passengers. ENLISTMENTS IN THE NAVY. Last week the officers of the Navy Yard re- ceived eighty recruits to the navy, most of whom were substitutes for persons liable to draft, and, with the exception of one ortwo, they will be credited to the District. This week the business has opened more briskly, and it is thought the above number will be nearly doubled—this morning, before ten o’clock, there being nearly twenty applicants waiting at the door ot the proper officer. A REBEL CAPTURED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET HOME, Nathan Dwyer, of the 18th Miss. infantry, and Daniel W. Sherman, of the 12th Va. cay- alry, were forwarded to this city this morning from Falls Church, Va., by the Provost Mar- shal of that place. Sherman enlisted in the rebel service in 1861, and was captured yester- day by our pickets near Lewinsville, whilst attempting to get tohis home near the Chain Bridge, tor the purpose of yisiting his family. GoL».—Gold in New York has jumped from 254 to 257 since yesterday. This was, no doubt, caused by the reported disaster to our forces near Winchester, on Sunday «7 Bishop Whittingham has transmitted to the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the diocese of Maryland, a form of prayer to be used on the 4th of August, the day of hu- miliation and prayer Supe to be observed by the President and Gengress of the United: States. He urges the clergy everywhere in his diocese to properly and religiously observe the day proclaimed by the President. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. So Steambeat Aceident on the Mississippi.

It also. shows that while the Govern- ment is willing todo what it canin further- ance of this object, difficulties often arise which it will require great vigilance to over- come : Mayor's Orrick, Ciry Hatt, WASsHING- TORN, July 6, 1864—Hon Gideon Welles, Secre- tary, &c. @c.:—Sir: I am informed, from what I deem to be a reliable source, that many of those enlisted in the navy atthe Washing- ton Navy Yard are being credited to Massa- chusetts and other States.

S There haye some pak Siege menenlisted in the naval service at the Navy Yard rendez- vous here during the months of May and June. They were, however, shipped as substitutes for drafted men in Massachusetts, and credited to the quota of that State. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. N. Smits, Chief of Bureau.

Gideon Welles, Secretary, &c., éc.—Sir: Lam credibly informed that men are still being shipped at the Navy Yard ih this city, and credi to the quota of Massachusets and other States. This is prejudicial to the interests of the District of Columbia, inasmuch as it permits an appropriation of material to the use ofsome of the States properly longing to the District, and bop atk aps retard, if not effectually pre- vent the filling ef this District’s quota under the last call of the President without a resort to the draft. Upon like representations made to the War Department, . Stanton promptly issued an order forbidding it, and I ask that the Secre- tary of the Navy will do the same.

BUREAU OF EQUIPMENT AND RECRUITING, WasHIncTON, July 25, 1964.—Sir: Your letter of the 23d instant, to the Secretary of the Navy, has been referred to this Bureau. In the ex- ecution of the Enrollment Act recruits are te be credited to the ward, town, township, pre- einct or election district, &c., in which such enlisted men were or may be enrolled or liable to duty under the act aforesaid. It is impos- sible for the recruiting officer to verify the town, &c., where @ man resides or is liable to do duty, except from his own statement. He must be credited to the town, &c., where he says he is liable toenrollment. It is a very perplexing duty and difficult toexecute. The reeruiting officer will be instructed to make Bure, as far as practicable, that no enlisted men for the mavy here be credited to any lo- cality where he is not enrolled, or liable to be enrolled. Very respectfally, your obedient servant, Jos. SMITH, for Chief of Bureau. Hon. R. WALLACH, Mayor, Washington, D.C.

They were all taken before Justice Thompson, who proceeded to examine the witnesses closely, in the hope of getting seme clue to the money. The prisoners are colored boys, who loiter in and around the market for the purpose of pil- fering. They went to a wagon Saturday night and stole the money from the box. They di- vided and set to work to spend it. They laid out portions for cakes, fruit, &c., and, being fond of fun, had a mock circus in the market when the dealers had left, and employed an active little darkey todo the ground and lofty tumbling, for which they paid him fifty cents. Suspecting that the principal had made an unfair division, one of the boys told, and this led to the arrest, Justice Thompson sent all to jail for further hearing when the owner of the money shall be summoned. misma ee STATE OF THE THERMOMBTER.—At Frank- lin & Co.’s, opticians, No. 244 Pennsylvania avenue, the thermometer stood to-day at 1 o’clock, 82 in the shade, and 101 in the sun. Ser eee A¥¥FAIES In GEORGETOWN.—Except the bu- siness of the Government, which gives to the streets an unusually lively appearance, there is little doing. The supply of coal at the docks is very nearly exhausted. Some of the companies have none, and the others will be empty in a day or two. This, however, should net create any uneasi- ness among housekeepers, as the coal is not such as is ordinarily used for fuel, but is the Cumberland coal, used for manufacturing pur- poses and by steamers.
