THE EVENING STAR. W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Prepricter. ‘WASHINGTON CITY: — WEDNESDAY....00....-AUGUST 3, 1864. EXTRA. LATEST FROM THE FRONT. = Particulars of the Flag of Trace—Burial of the Dead in Front of Petersburg—The Rebels Claim 1,100 Prisoners—Rumors ef a Rebel Movement en our Leit. —<s—_ | Information has been received here from | Grant’s headquarters that a flag of truce was allowed on Monday morning from 5 to9 o'clock to bury the dead and bring off the wounded. Those of the wounded who were alive the pre- ‘vious day died during the night, and not more | than a dozen were brought off, few of whom are expected to live. In front of the crater for the distance of 200 yards the ground was literally covered with dead—1i60 colored and45 white were counted and buried on the spot. The large number of colored troops killed is owing to the fact that after the white troops had charged across the gap, the enemy’s guns Opened a raking fire on the colored troops: | mowing them down with canister. The work of burying the dead was not com- pleted until 10%, when the truce ceased and the rebels in a few minutes opened fire. Generals Bushrod Johnson, A. P. Hill, Ma- hone and Sanders were on the field, witha number of inferior officers. Major Gerardy> of Mahone’s staff, had charge of the flag on the rebel side, and Mayor James E. Doran, 22d | New York, (dismounted) cavalry had charge on our side. The enemy buried their dead on their side of the line, and carried their wounded to therear. They claim to have 1,200 prisoners, including ‘Wounded. They state their loss at about 800, but this is not credited, as in charging to re- cover their works they lost heavily. General Bartlett and Colonel Marshall are prisoners in Petersburg, unhurt. It was rumored Monday that a force of rebel cavalry was moving towards our left, but nothing has transpired as yet in that quarter. Some of the telegraph operators in Burn- side’s corps have been arrested, charged with divulging the contents of despatches, and they are to be held for trial by court martial. IMPORTANT FROM UP RIVER. —— The Rebels at Hagerstown—They Burn a Train of Cars containing Government Property, and do Other Damage—They Recross the River to Virginia—Early at Martinsburg with 35,000 Men. —_——»—__— {Special Correspondence Washington Evening Star.] FREDERICK, MD., August 2, 1861.—Editor Stay: 1 arrived here last night on my way to Hagers- town, but haye been unable to reach that place, as no stages have been running for three days. An attempt will be made to-day, | however, to get the stage through. The rebels, to the number of three hundred cavalry, paid Hagerstown a visit again last | Friday, about 3 o'clock p. m., and, after a skir- | mish in the streets of the town with Oole’s cavalry, took possession of the town and re- mained until dark. They burned a;tram ot cars containing Government stores and some freight belonging to A. N. Hager and Zeigler & Fowler. Early crossed the river at Williamsport on the same day with 35,000 men, and from this point dispatched the cavalry alluded to above to Hagerstown. Upon the return of the cay- alry from Hagerstown to Williamsport, Early recrossed the river to Virginia, and now holds Martinsburg and the surrounding country. I got the above from a civil officer of Hagers- town, Md., whose word can be relied upon, and who arrived here last night direct from that place. The rebels while at Hagerstown visited all the stores but found little in them. LUM COOPER IN TOWN. Captain Lum Wooper Edelin came into cur lines yesterday morning at Dam No. 4, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and surrendered bimself to the military authorities. He is now at Colonel Weiswell’s office awaiting an ex- amination. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WASHING TON. The new building on 15th street, opposite the State Department, erected to accommodate the First National Bank of Washington and the Banking House of Jay Cooke & Co., is now | completed, and attracts general admiration. Externally it pleases the most fastidious eye by the chaste beauty of its design; and internal- ly the cultivated taste and the sense ot fitness is gratified equally by the rich elegance of the furniture and decorations, and the admirable arrangements of the rooms, by which the comfort and convenience of both the custom- ersand employees of the establishment are provided for after a style never before at- tempted, we believe, in a banking institution. Not only has Washington nothing else ap- proaching it, but we doubt if any of our lead- ing commercial cities—New York, even,—ean show any similar stracture combiningsomany of the requisites for a first-class bank building. It is of the Italian style of architecture, the front being two stories in height and executed in marble from the Lee quarries in Massachu- setts—the same used in the construction of the Capitol Extension. The front is 40 feetS inches in width by 51 feet hig’. The doors and windows in the lower story are rusticated, and the windows in the second story finished with architraves and pediment heads supported by consols. The first story, extending to a depth of 100 feet, is used by Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co. for their banking business. The spacious main banking room, entered directly trom the street, is floored with marble tiles, and is superbly fitted up with white marble counters and solid walnut furniture. Beyond this, on the same floor, is the hand- some apar'ment for the general transaction of business by the members of the firm; and in communication with this room is another pleas- Antly situated and tastefully furnished, for the use of the customers of the banking-house. The conveniently arranged stationery-room, wash-room, water-closet, &c., also attract attention on this floor, as do the various private offices, arranged in convenient con- nection to afferd facilities for the transaction of business without friction or confusion, and with due economy of time. The second story, approached from 15th street by a fine flight of marble steps, 1s occu- pied by the First National Bank of Washing- | ton,—the main portion being used for the gen- eral transaction of business, and convenient sized rooms being allotted for the use of the president, cashier and directors. This story, 22 feet in height, is fitted up with the same conveniences and im the same hana- — manner and substantial style as the story below. This is the first instance here in which a bank bas been located om the second floor, but in leading commercial cities—in Boston altogeth- er co—the leading banks arethus located. The throng of customers doing business at the new bank find their comfort and convenience so amply provided for that in their opinion the arrangement of the building could not well be improved in any sense, baildingis fire proof throughout, and the money vaults, proofs, &c., for books and pepers both of bank and banking house are of the most fire and burglar defying deserip~ tion imaginable. Richmond itself is not so TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. ———— THE EXCITEMENT AT BABRRISBURG. AVigilance mittee at Werk—Removal an of General Couch Demanded. ALToonwa, Pa. August 2—General Simon Cameron, on behalt of the Vigilance Com- mittee of Harrisburg, has addressed President Lincoln a letter, asking for the removal of General Couch, and the appointment of General Cadwallader to the position of commander of this department. The excitement along the line of the railroad against General Couch is intense. It is almost certain that that the rebel heel no longer presses our soil. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company still have their trusty scouts at the front. They Teport “nothing.” OFFICIAL. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, August 2, wu.

THE REBEL GEN. EARLY AND HIS FOROS. The following information is derived from an officer who deserted Early’s army yesterday morning, and came into our lines: The rebel cavalry force now operating in the Valley and upriver numbers eight thousand effective men. They have all been remounted and equipped recently, and are uncer the com- mand of those daring villains, Brad. T. John- son and McCausland. The infantry forces are under Early, who says he is determined to hold the Valley at all hazards. His forces in the V<lley are engaged in thrashing the wheat, ard he retains every tenth bushel; also, levying a tax for thé labor performed in securing the crop. Early’s forces number between thirty-five and forty thousand men, this rebel officer states. MAJOR HARRY GILMORE. The rebel Major Harry Gilmore, who was reported killed at Chambersburg, is alive and well, and was at Shepherdstown yesterday morning, with a small detachment of hiscom- mand. MILITARY EXECUTION. William H. Carter, a citizen of Maryland, having been found guilty by & military com- mission held in this city of violating the laws of war, and of being aspy, will be hung on Friday next, in the enclesure attached to the Old Capitol prison, the President of the United States having approved the sentence of the commission, which directed that Carter should be hung by the neck until dead. 1t was shown in evidence before the com- mission that Uarter entered into arrangements with the so-called Confederate government whereby he agreed to furnish the Confederate States bacon at places on the south side of the Rappahannock river, and within the lines of the enemy, agreeing to receive therefor forty cents per pound for said bacon, payable in Confederate treasury notes, or in tobacco at the market price thereof; and he further agreed to deliver as large a quantity of bacon as ke pos- sibly could at the prices aforesaid, which said agreement was approved by the Secretary of War of said Confederacy, and ucder his di- rection accepted by the commussary of said so-called Confederate States. It was also shown that Carter did enter into and engage in conveying from the lines of the armies of the United States into the enemy’s lines, provisions and other goods contraband of war, thereby giving aid, comfort and assist- ance to the enemy; this between Baltimore and in the States of Maryland and Virginia. Carter also, on or about the 5th day of Sep- tember, 1963, received from Surgeon General S. Y. Moore, of the Confederate States, a list of medical supplies, which he procured and attempted to convey in the enemy’s lines, but was arrested by the military authorities while in the act of so doing. The carrying out of the sentence of the com- mission has been entrusted to Provost Marshal Ingraham, and the execution, which will be a private one, will take place in the inclosure of the Old Capitol Prison, where the scaffold is now being erected.

Yesterday morning at 7% o'clock, Moseby atthe head of 250 guerrillas passed through Leesburg, west, apparently toward Ashby’s Gap. They had with them 54 horses stolen in their recent incursions across the river. - About one hour afterwards a force of 35 of the same gang passed the same locality. They had nothing with them, but did not get off so safely as did the gang urder Moseby’s command, for they could not altogether avoid our cavalry, who are scouting in the neighborhood, and a skirmish ensned and four of the guerrillas were killed. The rest galloped off our cavalry (about 34) in pursuit. New Mvsic.—We have just received from John F.

U. Ede- lin, (better known as Lum Cooper,) of the Ist Maryland rebel infantry, arrived in the city this morning, and was escorted to the Provost Marshal’s office by a lieutenant, he having come within our lines yesterday morning st Dam No.4, and surrendered himself to the military authorities. ”! Lum gives as a reason for surrendering him- self, that he is sick and broken down from wounds, and that he is tired of the war and anxious to see his family, who reside in this city. Lum may be sick and broken down, as he alleges, but his appearance does not im- dicate it. In fact, we thought he was looking remarkably well—for him. While at the Provost Marshal's office this morning he was dressed in a rebel captain’s full uniform, and bore his usual consequential air, Lum is still inclined to brag, amd says that nis celebrated horse «Black Warrior” was killed in anengagement with our forces, having Teceived one hundred and forty bullets (!) his gon clothes being pera at the same ie, one ball taking ct in his body. While in the Confederate service, Lum says he fought us like h—ll, and that hehas been ‘wounded no less than eight times. He’ claims that the Confederate authoritiés were so well pleased with his fighting qualities that they ‘wanted to promote him, but he declined the honor. He speaks highly of his own com- pany, and says that it was composed of the best fighting material. Cooper allegés that he tendered his resigna- tion to the rebel Secretary of War. The Sec- retary refused, however, to accept it, when he informed his commanding officer that he was sick and tired, and wished to go home, which he would do at all hazards. Being a deter- mined man, (to use Lum’s words,) he kept his romise. Pam is still at Col. Wisewell’s office, under- goingan examination. Heis willing to take the oath, and wishes to remain in Washington, but is rather fearful of being tionized by his numerous friends, who he says will be run- ning after him all the time. Since writing the above Lum has been com- mitted to the Old Capitol to await furtner investigations. PoLick REPORTS—Second Precinct.—Thomas Baxter, suspicion of desertion; military.

Asoldier whose name was not ascer- tained, was sun struck but was notso severely affected as to cause him to go to his quarters. About4 o'clock, p m. he was suddenly de- ranged, and acted so like a dangerous maniac that patrolman Cunningham thenght it best to secure him for fear he might do injury to him- self or others. He was secured with consider- able difficulty and delivered to the military to be properly cared for.
