Among the reports which were based on good authority, was that the rebels crossed the Poto- mac yesterday morning at Hancock, several thousand strong. A fight at New Creek, Virginia, was also re- | ported tohaye taken place yesterday afternoon, but up to lasteyening no result had been at- tained. The above report was also received by the North American and Gazette. | FROM JAMES RIVER. Rebel Battery Above Harrison's Landing— United Stat essels Fired Upen—Our Gunbeats Move to the Rescue and Si- Jence the Battery. The mail steamer John Brooks arrived here this morning, at € o’clock, trom City Point, with a large number of passengers and the army mails. | Yesterday morning, as the steamer Spauld- ing, loaded with troops, and having in tow a barge loaded with horses, was coming down the James river, she was fired upon by a rebel | field battery of four pieces, stationed a little | above Harrison’s Landing. The Spaulding put on a full head of steam and run past the | battery, returning the fire from two pieces of cannon on board belonging to the troops. One | of the rebel shots passed through the wheel- \ honse of the Spaulding, and another struck | the barge, killing five horses, but doing no | other damage, so faras known Several other boats which were in advance of the Spauld- | Di ing were also fired upon, but with what re- sultis uotknown. As the Joba Brooks hove in sight of Harri- on the enemy one bloody ie neath another at Kernstown, & third on the Shenandoah; traversed at his will the length and breadth of Maryland, and laid its towns under contribution. If Early had been two days more early, he wonld have marched into Washington, and made his nameas illustrious as that of “Stone- wall” Jackson. As it was, he at least threw that infernal den into pitiable consternation, | reconnoitered the boasted defenses of the city, | and perhaps made sure of his blow for the next ume.

The rebels made several assaults upon our lines, which were completely covered by fortifleations, and at each time were handsomely repulsed. They moved in solid columns, chiefly i} against the front of Logan’s (15th) corps, but | occasionally striking at others. The defeat ‘Was so compete that the greater portion of the rebel dead and mary of the wounded fell into our hands. | We have already buried 642 dead rebels, | and more are yet ping in the field, besides a very few carried off. Gen. Howard estimates the rebel loss at 5,000 atleast, while Logan's loss was less than | 5u0, and that ot our whole force will not ex- | ceed 600. { The*tebels lost three Generals severely | ‘wounded—Stephen D. Lee, Stewart and Lor- | ing. The fact thatthe first named took part | in the battle, evinces that the troops lately in Mississippi have been recalled, and united to Hood’s army, since their defeat by Gen. Smith. Hood has evidently determined to win a victory or make Atlanta the grave of his army. All we have to say is, we hope he | will persevere in his resolution. We wonder | it he will claim a victory on the 28th? i Letter from the Front ‘We are permitted to copy the following ex- tracts from a private letter, dated near Atlan- ta, July 23d: «If rumor is as busy and unreliable in the | « City ot Rocks’ as a few miies in ourrear, you have doubtless heard of the occupation of At- lanta by ourarmy. It is premature. The rebel army holds it, and appearances indicate an + garaarn upon their part to obstinately defend it. “On the 16th we crossed the Chattahoochee river, and on the 20th had advanced our line to within four and a half miles of Atlanta, when the rebels assaulted a portion of our line con- sisting ot Howard’s Corps, also Hooker's, and the ist Rrigade of our (Rousseau’s old) divi- sion.

No rebels have made their appearance on this side of the river in the vicinity of Wil- Memsport og Hagerstown since Friday last, when Cole’s Union cavaity was driven from the town by several hundred rebel cavairy, who, however, did not remain long. Rebel pickets are to ba seen on Virginia side of the river, opposite Willismsport, and the indi- cations ate that the larger portion of the rebel invading force was moving up viver (west ward.) The cars on the Hagerstown and Ofiambers- burg railroad are running to Greeacastle, a point within nine miles of Hagerstown. Tele- graphic communication has also veen re-estad- lished with Harrisburg, but there are ne malls passing between Frederick and Hagerstewn, and there are not a sufficient number of horses in the county to run the stage 2, the owners of stock having run alloff that has not been gobbled up by the rebels. The excitement at Hagerstown has somé- what subsided, and parties who ran away are beginning toreturn. Business, however, has not been resumed, and the town presents 2 | fast-day appearance. P. S.—Later reports, by telegraph, state that the enemy have since reoccupied Hagerstown. MADE HIS BSCAPE FROM THE REBELS. George Coburn, who was gobbled up by the rebels, from his residence, near Mr. Blair’s farm, in Montgomery county, arti who was reported to have been shot by his captors, made bis escape from the rebels at Martins- burg, and returned to his home on Monday night. Mr, Coburn says that the rebels com. elicd him to act as a guide whiloin Mary- land, and that when they arrived at Rockville on their retreat from Washington. placed him in irons and carried him to Strasburg, where he was informed by the rebel Gen. Brad John- son that if he did not join the Confederates he should haye nothing toeat. Mr. Coburn says he held ovt as leng as he conid, and finding himself growing weak for want of something to eat, he enlisted in the rebel service, but took the first opportunity to escape. At the battle near Martinsburg, between Hunter and the rebels, the Confederates lost heavily by their own troops firing into each ther. They appeared to be greatly contused, and a six pound cannon ball, fired from one of their own batteries, killed the horse which Coburn rode. ARREST OF A SUBSTITUTE BROKER. Wm. 5S. Brown, & substitute broker of this city, was arrested this morning by thammilitary authorities for attempting torun colored sub- stitutes off to Baltimore.
