Rebels Reported to be Across the Potomac Again! BALTIMORE, Aug. 24.—There is a report, via the Northern Central railroad, that the rebels haye crossed the Potomac. But the report needs confirmation. There is in Baltimore nothing direct this morning from the Upper Potomac. FROM GRANT'S ARMY. ‘The Rebels Retire from the Weldon Rail- read—Their Attempt to Regain Posses- Abandoned—Surmises as to Rebel ments—Deserters from Sovth Caro- lina Regiments. [Correspondence of the Associated Press.] HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAQ, August 23.—The enemy early yesterday morn- ing disappeared from the front of the 5th and 9th corps, on the Weldon Railroad, and the be- Hef is that the attempt to regain possession of this important line of communication has been abandoned, and that the enemy are fortifying their right flank to resistan attack in this di- rection from our forees. They may, however, be preparing to make 8 dash on our lineinsome other direction. Occasional firing has been going on along the centre, and was quite lively during the night. ‘This morning occasional shots are heard. The roads continue wet, making travel very difficult. About thirty revels were brought in during the night, principally South Carolinians, most of whom claim tobe deserters. This story, however, is not believed, as the soldiers from that State have furnished fewer deserters to our side than any other in the Confederacy. They are strong, hearty looking men, andseem to think the end of the struggle is at hand, and they believe Petersburg to be almost within our grasp, and will bein our possession at an early day. THE SITUATION. Bs close readers for the past three or four days will haye perceived, the good cause of the Union is rapidly closing and tightening its grasp upon the two strongholds of the rebel- lion—Richmond and Atlanta. The events ot the past ten days in the vicinity of Richmond and Petersburg, have demonstrated the in- Ability of the rebels to check the successive movements of Grant in that quarter. He now holds a position about Dutch Run Gap and Deep Bottom, from which he threatens at any moment to make a successful dash at Rich- mond, and in frontof which—to prevent him from so doing—they must keep a considerable portion of Lee’s army; a portion so large as that the balance have not proved large enough to dislodge our 5th corps from the command of the Weldon railroad, south of Petersburg, though if not speedily dislodged their com- mand of that work must necessitate, sooner or later, the abandonment of Virginia by the rebels. Sheridan and his force are playing an im- portant part in this spirited campaign. We feel very sure that his moyements, one and all> @re not the.result of a belief in his inability to hold his own against Early (as heavily rein- forced as the latter has been) but area part of Grant’s sagacious plan of the campaign. Lynchburg is as vital to the rebel occupancy of Richmond as Petersburg. Sheridan’s presence amywhere in the Valley or on the line of the Upper Potomac, so seriously threatens it as that Lee must confront him with a large force or evacuate Richmond. In dividing his army, as Grant has compelled him todo that thing, he kas failed in his assaults on us, first at Deep Run Bottom, next near Winchester, and again on the Weldon Railroad, with heavy loss on all three occasions—loss far greater than ours in Killed and wounded at each point. He must centinue to risk such assaults; the penaity being the eventual fall of Lynchburg OM THE UPPER POTOMA ef Our Army—More Skirmishing Aleng the Front—No Rebels in Mary- land Yet. [Correspondence Baltimore an.) Hatt Town, Va., Aug. 23.—-The position of our army stillremains unchanged. A strong line of entrenchments have been thrown up by our troops, and a heavy lime of ski rs have been thrown ont in front. Desultory skirmish firing could be heard all day yesterday, and this morning it broke out with redoubled strength in front of the Nine- teenth Corps, holding the center Nothing of aay importance resultea from it, however, and t has now almost entirely ceased—12 o'clock. No evidence of the enemy being in our im- mediate front has been obtained as yet, and it is believed that they will make an attempt to cross the river, although our latest news from Williamsport says that they had not yet crossed the Potomac. Guns could be heard yesterday Gees river, supposed to be Averill shelling thé woods in the direction of Sharpsburg. The army is lying in their entrenched camps, and the sutlers are arriving, which looks like a protracted so- journ. There is very little news of interest from this section. General Max Webber has been relieved from the command of Harper’s Ferry, and ordered to report for duty in the department of the Sus- quehanna. Gen.Stevenson now has command of the post at Harper’s Ferry. FORRESTER. The Cavalry Fight at Front Royal. The following is the official dispatch re- ceived by Gen. Torbert: HeEavquarters First Oavatry Division, August 15, 1864.—General Torbert: There was but little more fighting after my dispatch sent ou at7 p.m. The 2d Brigade did superbly. t captured one hundred and aoe pees including twelve officers. The ist Brigade also did magnificently, capturing over sixty pris- oners, and repulsing a heavy force of infantry, Killing and wounding a large number. Two battle flags were captured, and the old Divi- sion gave “‘the boys” a most magnificent dress- . The reserve brigade was not engaged. he prisoners represent Kershaw’s division of Longstreet’s corps, Somers’ and Wickern’s brigades ot cavalry, both small brigades. The country was open, and several elegant mounted charges were made. The enemy tried to turn our left, wading the river up to their waists, but they found us “laying for them,” and we corralled them, shooting them down until the: cried for mercy. Over thirty of their dead, ane large numbers of their wounded, lie in one spot. The enemy opened with splendid practice from two batteries. I rejoice to say our casu- alties are small for the amount of fighting done. Sixty will cover my entire loss. I never saw the command act better or do more execu- tion. It was a “Darby fight” improved on. A rebel colonel was killed, and his body is in our hands. Two field officers were captured. The prisoners report that they came from Culpeper, and bave been marching hard. I sent the pris- oners and our wounded to Winchester to-night, Please see to arrangements for the wounded. I start at daylight in the morning. W. MeRzITT, Brigadier General. REBEL ACCOUNTS. Cavalry Skirmishing below Strasburg— The Rebel Gen. Vaughan Wounded, &c. From the Richmond Sentinel, Aug. 20.] e are without official information from the valley, and in the present admirable condition of the postal service on the railroad leading t> that section, we expect to hear from Early via Caters. several days ahead of the valley mail. We have seen a letter dated Edinburg, sev- enteen miles from Strasburg, Aug. 13, in which the writer (a gallant young soldier, who was wourded when Gen. Early first advanced into Maryland, ) says: «Yam sure Early will fight them at Stras- burg, and it will be, from all appearances, a large tight. The Yankees have been reinforced by two corps of Grant’s men. The enemy are skirmishing with our cavalry below Strasburg. They are a considerable distance this side of Middletown, which is thirteen miles from ‘Winchester and five miles from Strasburg. The citizens are confident Early will defeat the enemy. Brigadier General Vaughan, of the cavalry, pasced through here yesterday, wounded. The enemy have not burned any- thing so far that I can hear of.” The Draft in New York. New York, Aug. 23.—The Board of Super- visors have passed a resolution requesting & postponement of the draft, and also the exemption of firemen and uniformed militia. SHERMAN’s COMMUNICATIONS.—Whateyer may be the numbers of Wheeler’s cavalry, or their intentions, they have failed, as yet, seri- ously to interrupt the communications with the front. The telegraph was in working order yesterday to the headquarters of General Sher- man, and the public may feel well assured that this accomplished chieftain will see that no detriment falls to his army from rebel opera- tions im the rear. He will, we suspect, give Hood employment for all the men at Atlanta, and take good care that raiders like Wheeler are ‘taken in and done for.” We had no mail yesterday from Chattanooga, and are, consequently, without further advices touching the fights at Dalton and Graysville, or the whereabouts of the rebel raiders. The the fall of Richmond by a coup de main from the vicimity of Deep Run Bottom, or the speedy erection of works by our troops seross the Weldon Railroad that will bid defiance to as- saults from a force thrice as strong as his whole army. FROM THE FRONT. No Fighting of Consequence since Sunday— Arrival ef Rebel Prisoners at City Point taken in Sunday’s Battle. ‘The mail steamer Keyport, Captain *ralvot arrived about § this morning from City Point with mails and passengers. The passengers report that there has been no fighting of consequence on the Weldon rail- road since Sunday. Warren is firmly planted on the road and 1s not averse to an attack in his position. Some four or five hundred prisoners, mostly South Carolinians and Mississippians, taken on Sunday last by the 5th Corps, were brought down to City Point on Monday afternoon, and the officers among them, 42 in number, inclu- ding Lieut. Uol’s. Bayne, 16th Miss.; Blake, 27th ; and Maj. Bell, 12th Mississippi, were brought up on the Keyport, in charge of Lieut. Miaseil, 20th New York State Militia. A CANARD A story was afloat in Washington yesterday that the War Department had received dis- ) gg that Fitzhugh Lee was killed and A. . Hill mortally wounded in the Sunday’s fight on the Weldon Railroad. Thestory was Soca? no such dispatches having been re- ived. PERSONAL.—We hear that Douglas Forrest, Esq., (son of Com. French Forrest, formerly of the U.S. Navy, who ran off and joined the Tebel navy at the beginning of the war,) died not long since in England, whither he had gone in the service of the rebel cause. Frvanorat.—The New York Post of yester- day evening says: ‘he loan market is more active, and the rate is fully 7 per cent. The new stamp duty re- atricts the operations of brokers, who, in some cases, charge their customers an extra com- mission to cover it.

An orderly who came in this morning trom the vicinity of Falls Church, reports that a foree of guerrillas, under the command of Mosby, with two pieces of artillery, made a demonstration last night on the stockades in that Vicinity, in which we have a number of horses, and that he was throwing shell in pretty lively.

This morning, at about five o'clock, the gar- rison of the stockade at Annandale, consisting of two hundred and seventy-five men of the 16th New York cavalry, was attacked by the enemy under the leadership of Mosby, who had with him two pieces of artillery, and from two to three hundred men. On taking his position, Mosby demanded the surrender of the garrison, whieh was refused; whereupon he opened fire with his guns, the cannonading lasting for say threefourths of an hour. The garrison still holding out, Moseby withdrew, and was followed by our cavalry, who, at latest advices, were still in pursuit.

The regiment is doing duty from Great Falls to below the Seven Locks. At the latter point company F is stationed, and last night Serg’t Doak started with his captain (McLeod) to post pickets along the line they had to guard, and at the same time to point out the road to Great Falls (headquarters of the regiment) to an or- derly sent up by Gen. Augur. When within three miles of Great Falls, Serg't Doak at- tempted to cross a bridge, and his horse stum- bled, and he was precipitatedinthe canal. His body was recovered between 12 and 1 o’clock, and was at once bronght to this city and em- balmed by Drs. Brown and Alexander, who will send it to New York to-day.

After getting out of the workhouse, Agnes went to a shanty near Stanton Hospital, kept by Sarah McNeil, who gave her lodgings and something to eat.

This morning, Ellen Foley was arrested by officer Howard, upon a charge of receiving stolen goods; also, on a charge of assault and battery.

Mr. A. R. Allen being present took the young man into Justice Kinsey’s, where he was searched, and @small amount of good money and a baggage check of Willard’s Hotel was found on him. He was not much disposed to give any account of himeelf. The piece of paper was no doubt simply an advertising check, such as as are commonly used now, and as the arrested party appears to be a simpleton, and said he thought he had found it and thought it good money, he will probably be dismissed. ES A Goop Jon.—Some weeks since a canal boat belonging to Mr. Lynch, loaded with 119 tons of coal, was sunk in the channel near Georgetown in 22 foot water.
