VERILL OVERTAKES THE CHAMBERSBURG AVEAIDERS UNDER McCAUSLAND AND JOHNSON AND UTTERLY ROUTS THEM, a HE OAPTURES ALL THEIR CANNON, 600 PRISONERS AND A LARGE QUANTITY OF SMALL ARMS 11 ——__ THE REBEL GEN ERAL JOHNSON CAPTURED, BUT MAKES HIS ESCAPE! ————.—_—_ McOAUSLAND FORCED TO FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS! —~.—_ The authorities here have gratifying infor- mation of the victory obtained by General Averill, on Monday last, at Moorefield, Va., over the rebel forces under Generals Mc- Causland and Johnson, that recently burned Chambersburg. Averill overtook them at Moorefield, at- tacked, and utterly routed them, capturing between five and six hundred prisoners, in- eluding Gen. Johnson (who subsequently es- caped) and his whole staff, with their head- quarters colors; also, all the rebel artillery trains and colors, and a large quantity of small arms. McCausland himself barely es- caped by flying into the mountains. Averill pursued the scattered remnant of the rebel force for twenty-four miles, capturing many of the fugitives. His entire lossin killed ‘was seven men. So the Ohambersburg raid | thus early came to grief. The pursuit was only abandoned when Averill’s horses were’ too exhausted to follow them into the moun- tains.

The number of guns captured by Averill, at Moorfield on Sunday, was four, all that the rebels had there. He had captured 420 pris- oners before the pursuit commenced, and after that picked them up momentarily to a namber not yet definitely ascertained. When the rebel General Brad. Johnson was captured he bore no insignia of rank, and it was not known that he was in our hands until after he had escaped. This is the second time he has got off when in our hands lately. THE NEWS FROM MOBILE. No official despatches from our fleet off Mobile have as yet been received at the Navy Department. The news through rebel sources is, however, sufficiently indicative of the danger they consider Mobile to be in from Farragut’s guns. The reported loss of the Tecumseh is not an item worthy of being taken into consideration at all, in view ot the victory achieved by Admiral Farragut. We are inclined, however, to doubt that the Tecumseh was sunk, as feported. ADDED TO THE NORTHERN DEPARTMENT. Covington, Kentucky, and the country around it within a radius of ten miles, has been added to the Northern Department, under com- mand of Major General Heintzleman, MAGILL, THE REBEL SPY. Barlow Magill, reported by telegraph from Harrisburg as having been captured near Ha- gerstown while acting as aspy for the Oon- federates, is a son of Dr. Magill, who, together with three of his other sons, are in the rebel service. Since the breaking out of the rebel- lion the Magill family bas been a terror to the Unionists of Washington county, Md., and one of the Doctor’s daughters is charged with hay- ing shot one of Kilpatrick’s men in the streets of Hagerstown during the rebel invasion of last summer. This Barlow Ma- gill joined the Confederates after taking the oath of alliegance to the United States Govern- ment, and his father was for along time con- fined in the Old Capitol prison, in this city, for disloyalty, and was afterwards transferred to Fort Warren, where he persistently refused to take the oath, in order to obtain his release. Bob. Swan, who shot and killed William Sprige, at Cumberland, Md., is a son-in-law ot Dr. Magill, and he, too, is inthe rebel army, with the rank of captain. CAPTURE OF A REBEL TRAIN. Day before yesterday, an extensive capture of a rebel train, under charge of oneof the Kincheloes, was made beyond Aldie. It ap- pears that the rebels had detached some of their wagons loaded with plunder from the main body, and they moved in aneasterly direction from the mountains, and in the meantime were followed by a body of Union cavalry, who were not, however, in sufficient force to make an immediate attack. Ator near Aldie the Union pursuing force ‘wus Sugmented by about sixty cavalrymen, under command of a Capt. Bliss, who had been outonascout. The rebel force was attacked, and some twenty-five wagons loaded with grain were taken. Thosein charge ot the train abandoned it and ran, thus placing the game in the hands of our boys without mueh of a contest. a F UNION OFFICERS FROM TH ESCAPE 0. A EBELS. R THE On the night of the 27th ultimo First Lieuts, P W. Howlehand and Walter Clifford, of the 16th regiment U.S. infantry, and First Lieut. B. G. Butler, of the 2d regiment U.S. infantry, made their escape froma train of cars while on their way from the prison at Macon, Ga., to Charleston, S.O. Theescaped officers suc- ceeded in procuring a conveyance, making their way tothe U.S. bark Ethan Allen, off Otter Island, St. Helena Sound, and were sate- ly taken on’ board. MORE BEBEL PRISONERS, Lieutenant J. W. Drenner, with a detach- ment of the ist Regiment Home Brigade, ar- rived here to-day from Harper’s Ferry, having in charge sixty-four rebel prisoners, including one captain and two lieutenants. These pris- oners are of the rebel invading force, and were captured atdifferent points in Maryland with- in a week past. They were all committed to the Old Capitol by Col. Ingraham RE OF A UNION PICKET CAPTU. REBELS, POST BY THE A picket post, supplied from a detachment of the 16th New York cavalry, consisting of one corporal and three men, stationed on the old Braddock road, about three miles southeast of Anandale, Virginia. was surrounded and cap- tured by a party of about fifteen rebels, yester- day morning between 5 and 6 o’clock. Four borses and three of the men were taken by the enemy. The corporal who had charge of the picket escaped, however. SToneMAn’s RatD.—Late information from rebeldom shows that the rebels now only claim to have captured 500 men, including 75 officers with Stoneman, and they admit that in view of the immense injury done to their connections by Stoneman, that the balance of gain is de- cidedly in our favor. Not Trvuz.—We have eatisfled ourselves that there is no truth in the report that «the War Department has authorized Gen. McOlel- lan to raise 100,000 men immediately for speciay service under his command.” GoLp.—Gold has fallen from 259% to 253 since yesterday. This fall has been ecca- sioned, no doubt, by the good news trom Mo- bile, and the success of our troops who are pursuing the rebel raiders. FINANCIAL._The New York Commercial Advertiser of yesterday evening says: The stock market opened steady this morn- ing, and with more disposition to buy them than on Saturday. There appears, however, to bea temporary lull in the upward movement of the last ten days—apparently nothing more than a nataral reaction. : Governments are again very firmand active, chiefly underthedemandforexport. Thelarge advance on Five-Twenties, while Sixes of 81 have remained almost stationary, is producing & ran upon the latter. The German honses are buying them up freely on account of foreign orders. Certifi- cate are again in active demand, on the under- etanding that no more are to be issned after a short period. Large orders are being executed bere for a Philadephia firm, supposed to be in the confidence of the Treasury Department. It is not very easily seen how, in the present condition of the finances, this mode of pay- ment can be dispensed with. Gold is weak. There is very little demand, and with the present prospect of a protracted dullness in the demand for export, it not, indeed, a return of old from Europe, speculation for a rise is fee- le. The demand for customs continues at about $100,010 below the average demand, ow- ing to the indisposition of importers to take their goods out of bond. The necessities of the Fall demand, however, soon compel a consid- erable withdrawal within a comparatively short period, which may possibly create a sudden avd extreme advance in the price. This morning gold onened at 2594, and after- ward declined to 259 ;; at 12.30 p.m. the price stood at 256%. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS, FROM CHARLESTON.

LOOAL NEWS. ——— Levy Covrt.—The Uéurt assembled yester- day in the Aldermen’s Ohamber, (City Hall.) Mr. Barr, from the finance committee, re- ported a resolution imposing a tax of one- eighth per cent. on all taxable property in the county, which it is expected will net $3,376.60, the proportion due by the connty of the tax of hei Heah at on the District by aches Angust » tor the purpose of paying the expenses ofthe war. Adopted. pes = Mr. Thomas, from the select committee to get a legal opinion as to whether the jurisdic- tion of the court over the road leading from Seventh street, in Georgetown, to the Stone ‘warehouse, was taken from it, reported that they were not ready to make a final report, and asked further time, which was refused— yeas 4, nays 4. [The road was built by the United States and placed under the direction of Georgetown in 1833, but subsequently the Circuit Court deci- ded that the Levy Court was liable for one half the expense for keeping it in repair, George- town paying the balance. Atthe last session of Congress an act was passed the object of which was to relieve the Court from any far- ther liability of keeping it in repair, it was doubted whether this act accomplished it, hence the ingehy Quite a spicy debate took place between the President, (Mr. Sargent,) Messrs. Larner, Nichols and Burr, who claimed thet the late act of Congress relieved the court, and Mr. Thomas on the opposite side. Mr. Larner reported a resolution from the claims committee to pay $311.83 for the sup- port of the police employed inthe county, it being the amount required for the month of July. Adopted. r. Plant introduced a resolution that the laborers in the employ of the Court receive hereafter $1.50 per day, and horse, cart and driver #3 per day; adopted. [This is an increase of ten cents per day on the laborers pay and of 50 cents for horse, cart and driver.} Mr. Blagden introduced an ordinance to pre- vent fast driving in the county; which was passed. The ordinance prohibits the riding or driving of any horse, mare or gelding ata pace or gait faster than a moderate trotor gallop, or to make any trial of speed undera penalty of not less than $10 nor more than $20. Mr. Biair offered a resolution fixing the compensation of the Surveyor at $5 per day and #1 for each plat made which shall be filed with the court; which was adopted. SS THe New Fire SysTeM.— A noticeable change for the better was to be seen last night in the manner in which the work of suppress- ing the fire on Seventh street was carried or under the new system now just going into effect. It looked like business. verything methodical, and without any of the old time collisions, profanities, stone and pistol battles, rowdyism and confusion that have heratofore been the inseparable concomitants of a fire. The steady and unwearying chug, chug, of the steam-engines, pouring their remorseless streams upon the baffled flames, was the agree- able sound taking the place of the so well re- membered and dreaded curses and yells, and fnsilades of pistol shots, withomt which the bD’hoys seemed to think it quite impossible to work at a fire. When the city shall be in the possession of its own steam engines, and the new system fairly inaugurated, we shall be astonished that weeyer tolerated the wretched old concern which was at the same time so turbulent and soinefficient. Disappointed aspirants for po- sition in the new organization, and those who are governed in their action by the selfish con- sideration that ‘steam fire engines have no votes,” may endeavor for a time to embarrass the commissioners, but the public is fully de- termined never to go back to the wretched old system, and such opposition must necessarily s00n die out.

The soldiers have complained to Sup’t Webb, and ask the protection of the police, as most of them are invalids and unable to protect themselves. The number of robberies of soldiers between Loeffier’s Garden and the bridge over the branch at Ist street west in the month of Julyand so far in August, is set down by the soldiers at over one hundred. Last night there were three robberies, the thieves getting $70; the night before there were five robberies, the proceeds of which was $180. The poor fellows are frequently beaten and severely cut with various weapons. Superio- tendent Webb will take the matter in hand and try to ferret out and punish the villains con- nected with these atrocitit ORPHANS’ CouRT, Judge Purcell.— This morning, letters of administration with the will annexed were issued to John Higgins, on the estate of Abraham A.
