[Special Dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer.] HARRISBURG, Aug. 5.—The reported fight at New Oreek, near Cumberland, yesterday, turns out to be @ regular Union victory. We lost 29 killed and 50 wounded, but the whole rebel force was driven back to Cumberland by Gen. | Kelley yesterday evening. The whoie rebel force occupying Hagers- | town and Middleburg, it is said, does not | amount to over 5,00). | It is regarded as a feint to cover more im. portant movements in the rear Hagerstown, Col.

LEE AGALN COMING INTO MARYLAND. ————_. ' Rebel Cavalry at Chariestown—The City oi Cumberland Threatened by the Rebels. {From the Baltimore American } The intelligence yesterday trom Western Maryland and the Shenandoah Valley was | Most contradictory, bat from the information We received, up to midnight, we haye come to the conclusion that Hagerstown was yesterday Te-eccupied by the rebels with about thre3 thousand cavalry and mounted infantry, and that McCausland and Bradley Johnson, after burning Chambersburg, have been endeavoring | to take Cumberland, in which they are resist-d | by Generals Kelly and Averill, with varied | success. They were twice driven from {the | vicinity, but in pursuing them towards Rom- | ney, the rebels haying been reinforced, the Union forces had been compelled to fall back towards Cumberland, at the latest accounts. | A gentleman who left Hagerstown at eight O'clock yesterday morning, and arrived here | daast evening, reports that when he lett, the | py ere flying from the town, a rebel force | being rted as advancing from the Potomac | @nd at that time within three miies. | A letter from Washington says: | Provable Rebel Movements. A report, probably well authenticated, is prevalent at Washington that the rebel forces that confronted our troops at Deep Bottom, or | rather before Malvern Hill, last week, instead | of returning to Petersburg, as was generally | supposed, were moved northward to co-ope- | rate with Early’s and Breckinridge’s for in | the Shenandoah Valley. These additional | forces are believed to comprise two corps, in- | stead of only three or four brigades, as has | heretofore been reported. That the rebel force | before our position at Malvern Hill was con- | siderable is corroborated by the statements in the Richmond papers ef the 27th, by which it | is discovered that the rebels were fully ad- | vised of the portions of our army sent to the | north side of the James, although it appears | they were deceived as to our real strength, and | believed that all of the 2d, 10th and 19th army corps were near Malvern Hill on Thursday. Hence it is not probable that Lee despatched | two corps to the north side of the river to meet | the threatened attack on Richmond from that | direction. If it is true that this formidable | body has been ordered to reinforce the rebel | forces in the Shenandoah, there is good foun- dation for the belief prevalent in military cir- cles here that there will be hot workin the | Valley before many days have elapsed. From the Shenandoah Valley. We learn from a gentleman who left Charies- | tewn, Va , on Thursday morning, and succeed- | ed in eluding the rebel guards, that Moseby and Imboden, with about 7,000 cavalry and mount- ed infantry, were at Charlestown when he left, and it was said were about to make a feint on Maryland. Gen. Ewell, with all the infantry comprising the rebel force, supposed to be about 12,000 men, were at Bunker Hill, which is about 12 miles west of Martinsbt rg, with the trains of the ex ition, and all the plunder and grain recently collected in that vicinity, preparing | to retire up the valley towards Staunton. The | feint to be made by thecavalry on Maryland | ‘was supposed to be to cover his contemplated | movement with the trains, it being the pre- | sumption there that the whole force was about | to retire from the border ‘The valley has been conscripted very close- ly, sete ease man and boy that could be | caught, mm sixteen to fifty years of age.

Cattle and horses have also been | taken and driven off in great numbers. { The grain gathering parties are also at work : all the way up the Valley, and are to join the | force of Ewell as he retires. His movement is therefore enacted to bea Slow one, and his rear is to guarded by the cavalry and mounted infantry under Imboden. A gentleman from the viciuity of Cumber- and who arrived here confirms the Teport of the rout of McCausland’s rebel cavalry, near , Cumberland, by Generals Kelly and Averill. | They were driven towards Romney with heavy | If these statements are reliable, and there | weems no room to doubt them, the reports from Philadelphia of @ rebel force having crossed | into Maryland yesterday, at Hancock, may be _ the movement of Imboden’s cavalry to cover hse ag genes and ep gr of Eariy's in- try in retirizrg up nandoah ‘with his harvest trains, er We also learn from & gentleman who jeft | Frederick that He morning that all was | n_ off under | uiet there and at ‘3 Ferry, as wel along the line of theraliroad.

The Niagara Peace Negotiation. ‘The Tribune of yesterday contains a further statement from Mr. Greeley upon the ag negotiation. The main points are as follows. Mr. G. says: And I recollect that—in the first and mach | the longest letter which I addressed to the President on this:subject—1 roughly indicated certain basis of peace and reunion which I thought it would be expedient to offer to the rebels, in case their proffer to the Government should be—as I feared it would be—one that eould not be accepted. The brief reply to this letter was to this effect :—“ If any person duly authorized by the rebels are prepared to offer such terms of peace and reconstruction #@ you set forth, bring them to Washington.” I at once rejoined of course:—‘ Mr, Presi- dent, Ido not know what terms the rebel en- voys are prepared to offer. How could I know? | I Bave no authority and am forbidden by law | to approach them on the subject; and how | could Iexpect them to open their hearts to me | onsucha matter. Jf you desire me to ascertain what sortof a eae they are prepared | to make, I will do my best, but with faint | hopes of success. My point is not that they | stand ready to offer terms that youcan ac- it, but that theycanoffer NO terms that you will not strengthen the national cause by receiving | and considering.” (The more unreasonable and | offensive their terms, the better fer eur side, | provided we are not able to accept them.) The concluding statement is as follows: | I conclude by asking the Times, should it recur tothis subject, to keep the main point | steadily in view. I deny it the overture | submitted through Major Hay was the ‘same | offer” that I had been authorized to make. I deny that I wasever required to impose any such “conditions” as those embodied in Major Hay’s rescript. And I respectfully ask all who may see fit to deal with this statement to | quote it entire.

Ullman holds the place so strongly that the rebels will not attempt to take it. [SECOND DISPATCH.] Union Victory at Atchafalaya.

A DISORDERLY PartTy.—Yesterday, Officer Tucker of the Third Ward arrested a soldier for striking a colored man on 7th street, near the Northern Market. In 8 moment the officer was set upon by several soldiers who tried to rescue the prisoner. Tucker ar- rested another of the party, and got them into a hack. The hack was surrounded by the friends of the prisoners, but the officer’s threat to shoot the first that attempted to enter, in- duced the rioters to keep their hands off the hack. They were taken to the Third Ward station, and from thence to the Second Ward station tobe locked up. This morning they ee their names as Phillip Roach and John i. Prescott. And their riotous conduct ap- pearing to result from an overcharge of fighting whiskey, Justice Thompson fined each $2. SS Forp’s THEATE!

Middleburg, the place reported by telegraph to be in possession of the rebels, is on the Penn- sylvania and Maryland State line, five miles from Hagerstown, (and not eleven, asstated in .the dispatch from Harrisburg.) Greencastle is nine miles north of Hagerstown, five miles of the road being turnpike and the balance a bad country road. As the rebels have entered Middleburg, there is doubtless some mistake in the published statement that Harrisburg is in telegraphic communication with the State line. A REBEL PLAN THAT DIDN'T WORK. ‘We learn that the Union prisoners placed by the rebels under fire at Charleston have all been exchanged. The rebels, finding that an equal number of their own officers had been placed in a hot place in Charleston harbor, concluded that their amiable little piece of strategy wouldn't work, and the result was that they “caved,” as above stated. The fleet saluted the exchanged officers, and Admiral Dahigren entertained them aboard his ship. » A SCARE IN THE COUNTRY, This morning a number of families from Montgomety county came into the city ina great panic, via the 7th street road, and report that the rebels are approaching in that direc- tion. One man—Mr. Langhlin—states that his brother, who had been some distance ont in Maryland, came to his house (four miles be- yond the boundary line) last night, and re- ported a force of rebels as moving in that direction. One of our reporters, who has just returned from Fort Stevens, on the 7th street road, re- ports all quiet thereasa summer’s morning, and no indications of approaching rebels. It is believed that the farmers were scared by seeing a cavalry force of our own men, mis- taking them for rebels. THE REBELS CONSORIPTING, Refugees from Fredericksburg report that on Monday last a rebel conscripting force of cay- alry appeared there and impressed into the ser- vice all the men and boys capable of bearing arms. After leaving Fredericksburg they scoured the surrounding country, and smail detachments are still lurking in the vicinity, looking after those who haye escaped to the woods. Fredericksburg is not permanently held by either side, but both Union and Rebel soonle make their appearance there occasional- ¥ FROM CITY POINT, The mail steamer Dictator arrived here this morning from City Point, and reports the situ- ation at the front unchanged. The rebels have made no further demonstra- tion against our transports on the JamesTiver, d our gunboats are lying at Harrison’s Land- g, the point from which they drove the rebel field battery that fired on the steamers Brooks and Spaulding. FROM THE WEST. Reported Capture of General Stoneman by the Rebel General Roddy'’s Command— Richmond Papers Severe on Raiders. The Richmond papers of the 3d instant have dispatches stating that General Stoneman, while prosecuting his expedition on the Macon railroad, met a train bringing Roddy’s com- mand to Atlanta. ° Roddy’s men got off the cars and gave them 8 fight, and while this was going on the rebel force sent in pursuit of Stoneman fell upon his rear, when his command broke to pieces. Seventy-five offieers, including Gen. Stone- man, five hundred men, and six cannon were captured. The rebel papers say that the captures will by 0 means compensate for the great damage inflicted on the railroad by Stoneman’s com- mand. The Richmond Examiner has a savage ar- ticle recommending that no more prisoners be taken frem raiding parties, but that they be puttodeath. It says dead Yankees require no guarding and eat no rations. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. IMPORTANT FROM ATLANTA. Indications that the Rebels are Preparing to Evacuate Atlanta. LOUISVILLE, August 6.—A letter, dated one mile from Atlanta, from a prominent officer there to another, says fires now burning in Atlanta indicate that Hood is destroying a large amount of property, but whether with a view to evacuation or not is not known. GOOD NEWS FROM THE SOUTHWEST. a Union Victory in Arkansas—Rebels Dee feated in an Attack on Fort Smith. Sr. Lovis, August 6.—A dispatch, dated Fort Smith, Arkansas, Istinst., says the rebels) under Cooper. Garde, and Standwait, five hundred strong, with twelve piece of artillery, moved up yesterday with an intention of at- tacking Fort Smith. General Thayer went out, met theenemy a short distance frem the fortifications, and completely routed them. Our cavalry is still in pursuit. Our loss is very small—that of the enemy is unknown. Gen. Fisk telegraphs Gen. Rosecrans from St. Joeeph that recruiting 1s lively in his dis- trict; that the militia called out to hunt guer- rillas acted nobly, and that the report of in- subordination and lawlessness is false. The General says the demonstrations of loyalty and power have been of incalculable value in his district in converting the rebels there, The recruiting offices north of the Missouri are hereafter to be governed by loyal men.

SS DisMissep.--This morning the parties ar- rested upon s@®picion of being concerned in the murder of Charles Dickerhoff, as stated in yesterday's Star, were brought out for hearin, before Justice Clayton. Lieuts. Graham an: Crosby, and Doctors Thomas and Landon, and Abram Bauer were sworn and testified, From the evidence it appeared that the de- ceased was found in a dying condition outside the gate at Kalorama Hospital. He was with- out boots, coat, or hat, and the fact that his socks were clean, and not dusty, led to the be- lief that he was carried to the spot where he was laid. He was apparently a wounded sol- dier, having an unhealed gunshot wound in his left ankle.* Marks of recent violence were found upon his head and neck; one wound, contnsed, on the top of the head, was sufficient to produce death; none of the other wounds were so, He was found abont 7 o’clock, August 7th, was vaken into the hospital abont 9 o'clock a. m., and died aboutnoon. Information was given Lieut Graham that the deceased was iythe habit of visiting a house kept by Jacob Feigh, at the corner of i7thand T streets north, and that there had been a row there the night be- fore. The Lieutenant took a squad and ar- rested the parties in and about the house, and turned them over to the civilauthorities. There being no evidence to implicate any one of the ies arrested, the case was dismissed. The men were all turned over to the military au- thorities to be dealt with for other offences. ee Wovtn-ne OrricERs.—Night before last, A. Hall and James Johnson were arrested in a house of ill-fame, (No. 500 6th street,) dressed in officers’ uniforms, and in such a beastly state of intoxication that they were unable to walk. They were without passes, and the patrol con- veyed them to the Central Guardhouse, where they were held during the night Yesterday morning they were taken to the Provost Mar- shal’s office, where one of them claimed to be an assistant surgeon and the other a captain. Lieut. Sheen, the officer at Col. Ingraham’s office, who has charge of investigating the cases of officers arrested by the patrol, sus- pecting that these mem bad no anthority to ‘wear officers uniform, sent them under guard to Fort Slocum, whore it turned out that Hall ‘was a hospital steward and Johnson 8 private belonging to the command of Capt. Thistleton, the commanding officer of the fort. Hall and Johnson will be dealt with according to the regulations in such casi pS ARREST OF A FEMALE PICKPOCKRT.—About noon to-day, 8 woman named Ellen Hickey was detected in the act of picking a pocket in the crowd attending the auction sale at Green & Williams’, on 7th street. Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett, who resides on Capitol Hill, missed her money,and seeing the woman with her pocket-book turned and took hold of her, when she threw the pocket-book away. Mr. M. P Callen was near by and took herin charge. She also threw away a rollof change, amouut- ing to two dollars. On being taken to the Fourth Ward station, she was searched, and a large buckskin pocket-book was found, con- taining $37 in rolls of yarious amounts, and a black portemonnaie, with steel chain and tas- sels, and steel riveted, containing ‘ besides @ small amount of loose change in pocket. She is held at the station for a hearing. pau ee COLLISION ON THE RATLROAD.—This morn- ing, as the 7 o’clock (commutation) train was on its way down, in charge of Uapt. Taylor, when near Sayage Switch it ran into a freight train. which had run off the track, and of which no notice had been given the approach- ingtrain. The train fortunately was running slowly at the time, andthe concussion was slight. The engine was slightly damaged, as was also two cars, but no person was injured, This accident caused some delay, but heirs noon the trains then due had arrived. The fact that so few of these occurrences take place on the Washington Branch road, shows how well is this, as well asthe main stem of the road, managed. eee eS DEsERTERS AERRESTED.—T bis afternoon, offi- cers Tait, Voss, and Hopkins, and detective Boss arrested John Cook, Charies Frailey, and John Fox, as deserters. Fox says he belongs to company E, 12th Maryland. The others say they are new recruits, and belong to no regi- ment yet. It appears they paid a visit to No. 349 12th street, a notorious house of prostitution, and induced two girls, Rebecca Smith and Maria Kelley, to go out and purchase cilizen’s clothing for them, When arrested they had this new clothing upon their persons, and their uniforms were tound in the house No. 319. The deserters were handcaffed, and, together with the women, were escorted to Uolonel Ingra- ham’s office. SS Oxpruans’ Court, Judge Purcell.—This morn- ing the will of Thomas Brown, which be- queathes his estate to his wife and children, nominates his wife and son-in-law, R. R. Py- well, as executors, was filed for probate. The will of Samuel Wormley was partially proven. = The will of the late A. A. Hayeland, of 12th Ill. cavalry, bequeathes his personal property to Surgeon John Higgins, was partially proven. The will of George Poe, Jr., of Georgetown, was fully proved. James B. Munro was appointed guardian to George A. Munro. A Currine Casz.—Yesterday morning two Men belonging to a vessel in the river named Abraham and Gustavus Davis gotintoa row at the wharf while they were intoxicated, when the former seized a stick of wood and broke it over the latter’s head cutting it badly, and knocking him senseless. As soon as the latter recovered he went off to finda weapon, and returned with a knife with which he gave the former two cuts in the side, inflicting se- vere, but not fatal wounds. Officers Weeden and Maxwell arrested Gustavus Davis ‘and tock him to the Tenth Precinct station, where he is held for trial before Justice Boswell. — SS. Row at CuHInn’s HALL.—On Wednesday night a party of colored folks had a ball at Chinn’s Hall, (kept by a colored man,) corner of 6th and I streets, Island, which was nu- M™merously attended. About 3 o'clock in the morning three soldiers demanded admission, and were refused. They then attempted, it is said, to force their way in, and the contra- bands rushed out, and a general row occurred, in which two of the soldiers were badly beaten. They were taken off by their friends, and the paul was concluded withont further interrup- ion. ee Mag Sa Seconp WARD STATION CasEs.— Mary Willett, Rebecca James, James Mackall and Wm.
