A RECOMNOIEANCR, On Monday a body of about three hundred cavalry were ordered on a reconnolasance, in hopes of being able to recapture General Franklin, They pursued their way ‘mobstructed for some time, until fibaily they came upon a larger 'y of rebels, Aa engagement immediately ensued, in which our mon were obliged to desist and fall back upon Washington to pre- ‘vent capture, The enemy did act pursuo far, but re- turned in a manper whicn indicated some other businces Of greater importance on band. ‘WREREABOUTS OF THE ENEMY.

Before the train could be stopped the other cap- toto seized bis companion and bore him into an adjoining wood, It belng dark the guard were unable to discover the fugitives, The wound of the unfortunate officer was mortal, or at all events proved s0,in consequence of ab- sence of surgical attendance.

THE LATEST FROM WASHINGTON. Bepulse of the Rebela at Fort Stovens— Retreat of the Encmy Aeros the = Petomae, de, Wasnrarow, July 18, 1964. Skirmishing Lad been constantly going on, and our troops had acted strictly on the defensive until yesterday evening, when the robel sharpshooters becom! ng annoy- ing, it was determined to dislodge them from the front of Fort Stevens, This was effectually accomplished amid the shouts of applauee of those who witnossed the action. ‘The rebels retired no hot haste, leaving at the house of F.P. Blair, at Silver Springs, one hundred of their ‘wounded, including eleven officers, and their doad upon the Seld. Reconnoissances this morning showed that the rebels bad dieappearod during the night trom the front of our fortifications, after firing a number of buildings they had previously occupied as a sbelter for their sharpshooters. Boouts report that the rebels were this morning vecrossing the “Potomac, nearly opposite Pooles- ville, driving defore them about two” thousand head of cattle which they had stolen; while a despatch reosived by Gen. Halleck from Rockville says the retreating rebels passed through that place at three o’clook this morning, moving in the direction of Edwards’ terry. The rebels near Bladensburg moved off between eight ‘and ten o’clook this morning, taking the road westward, and carrying with them a number of horecs, cattle, &c., stolen from that neighborhood, . ae, a, ‘The militia and volunteers and erapioyes in the several || departments of the government were called out to-day and performed the duty assigned to them.

By some it t# contended that this demoo*rition sasinat Washing je a part of the progtamnon of of Davia to reaver oussension Of ali the oriuival sinve. However the case may be, facts, as faras known, are simply these:— On Munday morning @ small foree of the enemy was Aimoovered in the vicinity of Rockville, and skirmishing Degan at that point, and was continued throughout the day. The casualties were few on our side, aud the ovly forces then displayed by the enemy werd dismounted cavalry, which when pressed back to their horses by our skirmishers would mount and retire, Towards evening the exemy’s line of skirmishors bad been pushed east ward along the lino of the northera-dofences as far as the Seventh street road Jeading out from the ceutre of the city, The outérmost fortification upon this road is Fort Stevens, formerly called Fort Massachusetts, & strong work and amply garrisoned, When the enemy first began to show themselves in the vicinity of our line of defences the reinforcements expected had not yet arrived, but commenced to come in during the day, and ‘were immediately assigned positions in the defences. During the afternoon the rebel skirmishers took ed: ‘vantage of several houses situated near the defences for the protection of their sharpshooters, and it was found Becessary to dislodge shen. This was done, either by shells from tho forte or by the advance of our skir- mishers. Several of these houses were thus set ou fro and burned, Among them were the residences of Richard Botts, W. Bell, J. BH. MoChesney, Abner Shoemaker and the late W. M. Morrison. On Monday night the left of the enemy’s line rested on the west side of the Seventh street road, about one mile and a half. On Tuesday morning it was found that the evemy bad moved farther to the castwatd, their left extending about haifa mile east of the Seventh street road, and their skirmish line had peen considerably strengthened by Ja- fantry. Their sharpshooters bad foudd coverts in the immediate vicinity of Fort Stevens, and during the moru- ing two men were killed by their missles whilé standing on the parapet of the fort. A Mittle before noon beavy clouds of dust moving east- ward dissolved the fact that considerable cavalry force was moving in the direction of Bladensburg. An hour or two afterwards the telegraph wire running along the railroad ceased to work, and subsequently it was ascer- tained that an attack had beon made upon the railroad, some eight miles of which had been torn up and two or three small bridges destroyed. Thus Washington was for the time being completely cut off from all communica- tion with the North except by water, During the day rumors were rife that the rebels bad blockaded the Potornac by planting a yattery at Matthias Point, and that the pirate Fiorida was blockading tho mouth of the Chesapeake. These statements were, how- ever, everwhere ridiculed, and a counter rumor was cit- culated that Secretary of tho Navy Welles had taken measures to cusure the safety of the capital by locking the gates of the Navy Yard and sipkii innumerable torpettoes in the mouth of Goose creek, the homely pame of the high soundiag stream classically known as the Tiber, which meanders alung the foot of Capitol i Meanwhile a number of the oxpsoted reinforcements had arrived, avd others were constantly coming In. General Augur, commanding the defences, wre prepar- thg for offensive operations, which were begun in tho afternoon by 8 charge ot brigade of veteran infantry along the Line of the Seventh street roal to drive in the rebel skirmish line and secure possession of the promi- nent points, one on tbe left aud the other on the right. of the road, where the exewy were apparently preparing to erect works avd plant batteries. Tois was gallanily doue, The vetcrans weut forward at the double quick, cloared the positions indicated and pur sued the retreating rebel skirmishers for a wile and a half, ‘The prisoners taken in this charge belouged to Rreckia- ridge’s command, that bad been recently operating ia the Shenandoah valiey. This cloged gperations for the day.

At Mrst it was supposed (hat tbe main body had moved upon Annapolis; but our cavalry, which was sent out, reports that sho rear guard loft Silver Spring, the residence of Francis P. Blair, Sr., aud went towards the Potomac. It is, therefore, believed that tho rebels, whatever their streugth, have bastened to get away to the south side of the Potomac, to avoid being canght in their own trap. Preparations are being made for mmodiate pursatt, ‘but oar want of an eiicieut cavalry force sufficient to on- counter a brigade of the enemy will probably prevent overtaking the marauders, beard hard FROM berg Mr. DeB.

Yesterday a considerable party of rebelmadea dash upon the railroad betweon Elitcott’s Mills and Baltimore forthe purpose of capturing a train bound South, They wore, however, defeated in their intention by a timely discovery of their presence. REBELS AROUND THE Ciry, The country around Baltsmore is infested by a large Bumber of guerillas and legitimate rebels, ‘There are also a great many stragglers and skulkers, who have abandoned the .rebel ranks © prowl about the country, robbing, insulting and committing all sorts of depredations without hindrance, unless it come from the victim, in the form of a resolute use of a rifle or shotgun.

Persons who fed from their homes, with their valuables, upon the ap- proach of the enemy are now returning as fast as their Beighborhood is evacuated by the rebels, but frequently they fall into the hands of the men whom | bave just mentioned, and are robbed of all. GENERAL ORD, General Ord, who is now in command at Baltimore, bas established his headquarters in the bouee of Roverdy Johnson, The entrusting of the safety of the city to General Ord has given the greatest satisfaction, and the excitement of the people is now materially aliayed. Business has beon in & measure resumed, To be pro pared, however, for an emergency, some of the banks have placed thelr money ard papers on a revenue cutter, waile others have returned to their usual business.

There are supposed to be etill a fow cattlo stealers ia some portions of the county; but all ao making heir way towards Puntgunmry county, Jt was reported thia morning, and generally credited, that the rebol cavalry force which crossed the Wasuin,- ton Ratiroad yesterday at Bettsvilio bad reached Annapo- lis, and thet thut ancient eity was actually in the ponses- sion of the reels, ‘The report spread all over this city, aud wag strength etied by the fact that a gunboat was sent for during the night; but at eleven o’clogk this moruing it was loarued from the telegraph office that all was quiet at Annapolis, and that so faras known no rebel force was eoming io that direction, Arrangements have been made for the defence of An Dapolis, and gunboats are stationed in the Severn which can sweep the land approaches. The destination of the large force of rebel cavalry that crossed the railroad at Bettewille and Bladensburg is therefore not known. Thisforce may have swept tothe south side of Wash- ington, or probably thoy are going to fuidl the predic tions of some of our rebel sympathizers, and keep on to Point Lookout to release the twenty thousand rebel prisoners conned there, ‘The distance from Bettsvilie to Point Lookout is sighty miles.
