BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER, s in th ON ee ene Rebels Refi beth te Gen. Grant They also refuse to allo’ pers to come into our Lines— chief Thought toe be Brewing. “We have information from the Army of the Potomac as late as 9 o'clock on Sunday night. The exact losses inthe battle of Saturday have not yet been Officially ascertained, but as near as can be judged will foot up about 2,500, not including the missing. In the hospital of the 9th corps, the first di- ‘vision has 206; the second, 307; the third, 3415 the fourth, (colored,) 626; besides a considera- ble number lying on the field between the lines, and who cannot be got off. The 18th corps lost about 300, while Turner's | division, of the 10th, had nearly 400 killed and ‘wounded. A flag of truce was sent out to the enemy on Sunday, for the purpose of getting the remain- der of the wounded off the field, but it was re- used—the reason not being given. General Butler also sent a flag from his lines, ‘which was likewise retused; the officer giving mo reason except his orders, which were per- emptory, not to accept a flag under any cir- | cumstances. They also refuse to exchange papers, the officers keeping a vigilant watch over the privites to prevent their doing so, ‘The latter are always willing and anxious to exchange. There must be some good reason for all this, ‘nd many believe that their line is very weak» While others think they have some extensive Move on foot, and are afraid of it becoming known to us. The raid into Pennsylvania may be the reason, and they wish to keep it as quiet as possibie. All the wounded that have been brought in are being well cared for, the medi- cal arrangements being ample. The lines cf the two armies are about the same as before the battle, and picket firing has been constantly kept up since. A later dispatch, of seven a. m. of the Ist, | says & flag of truce was then prevailing, and parties Mad gone out to bury the dead and bring off the wounded. Thenumber is reported &s being quite large. = ANOTHER BIG SCARE. Rebel Guerrillas Make their Appearance «mear Rockville—Stery of a Scary Or- derly. Last night, about eight o’clock, some two hundred rebel guerrillas, supposed to be of Moseby’s command, made their appearance ata point three miles above Bockygle, having crossed the river at Nolan’s Ferry. Parties living in the vicinity, imagining that these guerrillas were the advance guard of a darge invading force, immediately skedaddled, ‘Which occasioned some excitement in this di- Yection for a short time. Troops were sent from here to intercept the rebels, but they were nowhere to be found, having gone back to the | Virginia side of the river. A panicky orderly came hurrying in to head- avarters at a late hour last night from Fort | Reno, and reported that the rebels in large force, were ad yancing in the direction of Ten- | nallytown. Due investigation showed that the report | had no foundation whatever. A CornRrection.—Our neighbors of the Jn- delligencer, in quoting from our full accounts of the assault upon Petersburg, speak of them as “‘semi-official.”. To prevent misapprehension, it is proper to state that, while our reports of the affair were obtained from eye-witnesses, they were in no sense official or semi-official. wa From Hudson Taylor, 331 Pa. avenue, the Washing ton agent tor Leonard Scott & Co.’s YFepublications of leading European Magazines, ‘We bave Blackweod’s Edinburg Magazine for July.

The rise has been remarka- bly vigorous, and attended with none of the symp'oms of lack of confidence that have pre- yailed torso many weeks. It seems to be taken for granted that railroad securities are below their real value, and this impression is bringing a large number of buyers into the market wno bave not touched stocks since April last. The brokers are disposed to favor the movement by affording every possible facility to operators, and margins are given with more liberality than at any time since the panic. The advaace @uring the last fourteen days will average about $6 per share on the railroad list.

The report has reached Washington that a party of rebels, supposed to be of Moseby or ‘White's crowd, yesterday captured the Fred- erick stage and passengers just beyond Clarks- burg. in Mortgomery county, and later in the day some of our furces met them in Clarks- burg, and a skirmish ensued, the result of which has not been heard. A REBEL DESERTER’S STATEMENT. His Account of the Rebel Force Uperating in the Valley—Fforce Said to be Nearly 30,000—False Statements Corrected. An apparently well informed deserter from Lee’s army, whe has arrived within our lines, states that the only rebel troops operating in the Valley are those of Early’s and Breckin- ridge’s command. Early's troops were the first sent up the Valley, and on the eve of starting eer drew rations for eighteen thous. and men. Breckinridge’s command followed, which numbered about ten thousand men. ‘There is no truth he says in the rumor that the raiders had been joined by A. P. Hill’s corps, for up to Thursday last Hill's troops were in the entrenchments at Petersburg. The published statement that Anderson's and Heath's divisions were detached from before Petersburg and sent to Richmond to look after Hancock, leaving A. P. Hill’s corps within the detences at Petersburg. is also incorrect he says. Heath’s and Anderson’s divisions com- pose Hill’s corps, and they could not have been sent away, for Hill was certainly in the dee fences of Petersburg at the time of the explo- sion of Grant’s mine. CHANGED HIs MIND. Among & number of rebel prisoners brought here this morning from Frederick, was a young man by the name of Frank Dungan, who says that he was enticed away from Baltimore (where he resides) on the 12th of July, by two young men, named John Per- igo and Frank Molton, for the purpose of joining the rebel Brad Johnson’s command. Perigo and Molton joined the rebels, bat when Dungan reached the rebel General’s headquarters he changed his mind and refused to enter the service. Upon Dungan’s refusing to enlist, Johnson drove him off, and told him _he had “better go home to his mammy.” On Sataraay last, while Dungan was attempt- ing to join our lines, he was picked up near the mouth ot Monocacy by some of our troops, and sent to this city as above stated. At the Provost Marshal's office this morning, Dungan appeared very anxious to get home, and asked permission to take the oath of allegiance. He is only about seventeen years of age, and ap- pears to be quite intelligent. He will be com- mitted to the Old Capitol to await the action of Judge Turner. THE GARRISON OF CHARLESTON HARBOR. We learn from a well-informed party who left Charleston a few weeks ago that the har- bor of that place is garrisoned by the follow- ing rebel troops .—Ist South Carolina artillery, Col. Rhett; 29d South Carolina artillery, Vol. Frederick; Ist Sogth Carolina infantry, Col. D’Terville, (all reghlars;) 32d Georgia and 4sth Miesissippi. In the interior of Soath Carolina there are no troops but afew small detach- ments of yarious commands acting as provost guards. REBEL PRISONERS. Charles H. Matthews, Charles W. Eader, Nicholas Fitz:immons, of the 35th Virginia battalion, and J.R. Deaver, of the ist Mary- land cavalry, were captured on Saturday last in the river near the mouth of the Monocacy, while endeavoring to get back to Virginia from the Maryland shore, where they had been on a chicken stealing expedition. he prisoners were brought to this city thiémorning and committed to the Old Capitol. THE EXPLODED REGIMENT. The regiment which was blown up by Gen- Grant’s mine, in the fort in front of Petersburg, was the ist South Carolina regiment, formerly of Jenkens’ old brigade, and was commanded by Colonel Hagood. At the time of the ex- plosion it numbered but two hundred and fifty men, having been badly cut up in previous service. ORDNANCE OFFICER OF THE MILITARY DISs- TRICT OF WASHINGTON. Lieutenant Charles C. Hyatt, of the 7th regi- ment, Veteran Reserye Corps, has been de- tached from duty on the staff of the let Brigade Veteran Reserve Corps, and detailed as ord- nance officer of the Military District of Wash- ington. LOOAL NEWS. THE TOURNAMENT.—Yesterday afternoon, the announced “tournament” came off at the Park. The grounds were hardly large enough, and in the short distance the horses ran they could hardly get steam enough up for tourna- ment purposes, but nevertheless some of the knights showed good horsemanship. A stand had been erected for the accommodation of the ladies, alongside the track, which was well filled Mp hela o'clock, at which time the riding was to have commenced. A few minutes after that hour the knights entered for the contest made their appearance in the following order: Knight of the District of Oolumbis, Mr. Mon- day; Knight of Maryland, P. Menrlin; night ot Fenian Brotherhoed, John O'Meara; Knight of Bavaria, James E. Seitz; Knight of New York, T. D. Bancroft; Knight of the Rose, E. Oliver; Knight of Pennsylvania, Harry Dinklaker; Knight of North Carolina, Wm. Bell; Knight of the Shamrock, Wm. O'Meara; Knight ot Russia, Chas. Klotz. The stand was occupied by Wm. J. Gary, Joseph Hamlin, John Norris, judges, and Capt. L. Walker, 5th U. S. cavalry, umpire; and before these the knights drew up and were addressed appropriately by Mr. Gary, after which the tilting commenced, the knig! starting at the sound of the bugle, in the order named above. The trial resulted, after over an heur’s riding, in the Knight of North Carolina, Mr. Bell, winning the first prize; the Knight of Maryland, Mr. Mehbrling, the second; the ran ne of Bavaria, Mr. Seitz, the third; and re panes of New York, Mr. Bancroft, the fourth. At the announcement the Knights were again called before the stand and the prizes were awarded by Mr. Gary, Miss Mary Visser be- ing crowned Queen of love and beauty, and Misses Anna J.O’Meara and J. Archer maids of honor. In awarding the prizes Mr. Gary appropriately addressed the Knights. This part of the Pfoernnme: was to have been car- Tried out by Hon. Thos. B. Florence who how- ever did not make his appearance until after seven o’clock, when he delivered an address, after which dancing was commenced in the pavilion and was kept up until a late hour. ———_ > Onpgans’ Court, Judge Purcell.—This morning the will of the late General P. Taylor was exhjbited for probate and fully proved. The will bequeathes his estate to his wife and children, and makes provision for the manu- mission and support of some of his faithful slaves, and nominates Justice John McLean, Nathaniel McLean, (father and brother of Mrs. Taylor,) and J M. L. Taylor, execu- tors.

It appears that she was clothed in thin materials, near the above named spot a spark of fire from her pipe which she was smoking, fell on her apparel &nd immediately she was in a sheet of flames. The poor woman immediately called for help, but she lying some distance from any house before assistance reached her her clothes were burnt entirely ofl, and the up- per portion of her body was badly burnt, the ekin of her neck, arms and breast peeled off. The neighbers were quickly near offering ber assistance, and Officer Olements procured her a permit to Providence Hospital to which he removed her. @ ———_— CHARGE oF ATTEMPT AT RAPE.—Sunday night Officer Johnson, of the Third Ward, ar- rested Wm. E. Miller on charge of an attempt tocommit arape om Margaret Hudson. The case was taken befure Justice Thompson, when it appeared in evidence that the complainant, with another girl, was invited to an office on 9th street, where he would write a note and then go with them to the Untied States Hotel. In the office Miller locked the door and turned off the gas, and then attempted to commit the crime alleged by the complainant. She re- sisted. A man named Nickard heard the noise and went to the girl's aid, and was going tolet them out of the back way, but Miller tolti him it he interfered he woulda blow his brains out. The Justice committed Muller to jail for court. — Post Orrick APPOINTMENTS.—The Post- raha General yesterday ordered the follow- gz: Appoint M. W. Wines as temporary clerk in the dead letter office, at pay of $500 per annum, from August 1, 1964. Appoint Van ©. Conrad, now temporary clerk, finance office, toa first-class clerkship in same office, vice Richard Kelly, promoted, ata salary of $1,200 per annum. Promote and increase the pay of Hugh Nis- bet, temporary clerk in the appointment of- fice, from #600 to #800 per annum, from Au- gust 1, 1861, in place of Van O. Conrad, pro- moted. ——____ BETWEEN TWO Fings.—Mr. William Dough- erty, formerly a well known builder here, wao has been in South Carolina from a period some time before the war commenced, has just re- turned to Washington. Mr. Dougherty hada heavy contract on the stone work on the new South Carolina State Capitol at Columbia, and bas never, itis said, been engaged in the war. He had property 1n this city against which a decree of confiscation was made; and at the same time he has a large amount due him for work on the South Carolina structure, or rather he and others hold the bonds of the State therefor. He being here, the latter is in peril. He thus seems to stand between two fires as to the prospects of confiscation. —_—_o—— DROWNED.— Yesterday afternoon Officers Shelton and Berkely found the body of a drowned man in the tern Branch, near the Engineers’ Camp. It had apparently been in the water some days, and had nothing on but a hospital shirt. The left arm had been am- putated near the shoulder, and the body had the mark of a wound in the center of the back, bullet wound in the side and two on the hips. It was the body of a man apparently 32 years of age, was five feet seven inches high, had black hair, sandy moustache and florid com- plexion. —— MEETING OF Mxcuanics.—Quite a large number of mechanics and workmen connect- ed with theGovernment shops in this city, was hetd at Chappell Hall, corner Washing- ton and Duke streets, on Saturday evening last. We understand that the object of the meeting was to take into consideration the sub- ject of a demand for an increase in the wages of the various branches represented. We did not learn the result of their deliberations.— Alex. Journal August 1, SuppEn DEATH.—About 9 o’clock last night, officer Parker founda man named James Friel, an invalid soldier, in a@ dying condition at the corner of 13 and D streets, and with the aid of several pereons conveyed him tothe Second Ward station house. Dr. Lincoln was called to attend him, but death ensued before any- thing could be done for him. It was supposed that death was caused by exposure to the sun, during the day. The coroner held an inquest and the jury decided that deceased came to his death by a stroke of the sun. ——~>——__ FourtH Warp STaTion OasEs.—Martha Ann Webster, drunk and disorderly, $3.50; James Carter, wagon licensed, $5.50; Martha Adie, suspicion of larceny, dismissed; Unas.

The hay crops of the adjoining counties of Mary- land have been excellent. The farmers are sending large quantities to market. the quality of which readily secures the highest prices from dealers as well as from private purchas- ers. A rumor has been floating around that ade- tachment of Moseby’s guerrillas had driven our pickets into Rockville. No doubt squads of those horse thieves may have made a sud- den visit to the Maryland shore at points near that locality, but as we can find noone who can givean intelligent statement of the fact, it is fair to presume that they returned to the Vir- ginia side speedily, withoutstedling more than agchicken or two. The Aldermen’s Adjourned Meeting.—Last night the Board of Aldermen were to meet to act upon the police increase pay bill. The meeting was not large, but very respectable, one member appearing in bis place. ‘ Resigned.—Mr. Henry Walker, the excellent market master in Georgetown, has resigned to take a more important position in Washington.
