The Rebel Raid.
Various reports in regard to the magnitude
of the rebel raid were again in circulatiOn dur
ing yesterday and late in tlie evening, and our
secessionists were exceedingly anxious to
create an excitement. The news by telegragli
in regard to the raid is very contradictory, but
we feel satisfied that somebody has tried his
utmost to create a a "big scare." From Fred
erick we learn that no rebel force had made
its appearance in that town.
LATEST--THE POINT OF ROCKS
We learn that .a dispatch received from Gen
eral Tyler announces that the rebel cavalry
had re-crossed on Monday evening to Vir
ginia. from the Point of Rocks, carrying off
all their plunder into Virginia.
THE LATEST FROM HARPER'S FERRY.
General Sigel and General Mulligan's forces
reached Maryland Heights about nine o'clock
on Monday night, and no doubt is now enter
tained of our forces being able to successfully
resist any attack of the rebels at that post.
Reinforcements are also on the way to the
Heights.
Gen. Max Weber, who commands the post,
has given notice to the people of Harper's
Ferry to leave, as he intends to open his gnus
on the town to drive out the rebels. They are
all on the Virginia side of the town, busily
engaged in their work of plunder, and occa
sionally sending a shell over to this side. The
pontoon bridge which crossed the river at the
Ferry has been successfully removed, and the
span of the railroad bridge on the Virginia
side has been destroyed to prevent the enemy
froM crossing.
On Monday Moseby, who has a force of cav
alry and artillery opposite the the Point of
Rocks, fired into a train passing that point,
causing the greatest excitement among the
passengers. No one was injured, liCkever,
except the fireman of the engine, :who was
shot in the arm. The train was run back as
far as Sandy Hook, and the eMployees of the'
railroad company this morning were encleator
ing to bring it to this city.
No enemy is known to be north of the Po
tome, east of Sharpsburg, unless it bete
4rce that Sigel was engaged with haslollowed
him. Sigel succeeded in securing his trains,
and a number of the wagons passed through
Frederick. "
Ernrows., July 5, 4 P. ra.---Froin'the Point
of 'Rocks we learn that the entire rebel force
that visited that place yesterday morning, did
not exceed 100 cavalry men, supposed, to be
commanded by Mosbey. . .
Their whole object was to sack and destrciy.
They took with them to Virginia the entire
stocks of goods found in the stores of Messrs.
Jno. B. Dultou, Gowen, Basing, and Mears
& Adams.
They robbed the loyal and rebel storekeep
ers alike, having nothing but crockery ware
and such articles as were not easily carried.
They were followed to the river by rebel citi
zens, who are said to have carried off the
goods into the interior.
They retreated after committing these rob
beries, and the telegraph operator at night re
turned from the mountain where he had con
cealed himself, and sent through several dis
patches announcing the extent of their plun
der, and that the devil was to pay generally.
This morning the operator was not at his
post, from which it is to be inferred that the
rebels have again returned. •
LATEP. —The telegraph is still working to .
Frederick, and up to noon no rebels had made,
their appearance in that city. Gen. E. B.
Tyler remained at Monocacy in command of
Gen. Wallace's forces.

Admiral - Lee, commanding North Atlantic
blockading squadron, in a dispatch to the
Navy Department, under date of July Ist, says
that since July 24th, 1863, forty-two steamers
have been captured or destroyed by the block
aders of his squadron. Taking the average
tonnage of these vessels at 300 tons, and as
suming the capacity of an army wagon at one
ton, there has been a loss inflicted on the
rebels' supply system.equivalent to the cap
ture or destruction of a train of 12,600 wagons.
The department has received a communica
tion from Admiral Dahlgreen announcing the
eapture of the sloop by the IT. S.
Steamer NipsiC, on 'the =27th of June, off
Sapelo Sound. Her cargo consisted of ninety
bags of salt.
A communication has also been received
announcing the destruction of the English
steamer Rose of London, bound from Nassau,
N. P., by the 11. S. steamer . Wamsntta, on
shore off Folly Island, S. C. When filet dis
covered,, she was attempting to escape, and
in doing so was run ashore. The crew of
about 20 made their escape. It was only, after
repeated efforts to get her off and night com
ing that she was fired. She has:no cargo of
any importance on board, and it is thought it
had been sent ashore in small boats while
ing off the Cape.
THE GLORIOUS NAVAL VICTORY
The Navy Department has its big flag out
to-day, in honor of the destruction of the
pirate' cruiser Alabama, by the plucky IT
sloop Of war Kearsage. The Kearsage if a
steam sloop of 1031 tons, and has an armament
of ton 11-inch shell guns, throwing 264 pounds
imetal; :one 10 pound rifle pivot, throwing 30
pounds, and :two light 32 pounders; throwing
64 pounds, Making a total of 5 guns, throwing
358 pounds mehit.
The Alabama is:a vessel of 1,150 tons, and
had the following armament: One 100 pound
rifle pivot. throwing 100 pounds; one 8 inch
pivot;:: throwing 64 pounds; six heavy 32
pciunders, throwing 192 pounds; and one ,24
pound howitzer, throwing 24 pounds, making
a total of 9 guns, throwing 380 pounds •of
meta.
It will be seen that the Alabama is 119 , tons
Urger than the Kearsage and throws twenty
two pounds• more *eight of metal. The
Kearsage was etituManiltia by the gallant

It occurs on next Monday. There are
many who suppose that the fanatical Yankee,
Grant, will accept the day and its auguries as
an opportunity for a grarid attack upon our

there his success, at Vicksburg, and making . a
glorious tableaux of himself amid a blaze of
glory, waving of sags, general huzzas and

A leading editorial on the ." war news" shows
how befogged they were in Richmond en Fri
day while. Wilson's cavalry were coming back
by their Southern circuit. They have 'no
news from any : locality but Petersburg; no
mails, no telegrams.
SDITORIA L
A Petersburg paper was received in the city
early yesterday morning, and its accounts of
the defeat of liautz's raiders and the capture
of a great number of them, corroborated and
exaggerated by accounts of persons who had
just come in from Petersburg, set the com
munity in a blaze of excitement.
The, Petersburg paper said a batch of pris-'
oners,. who were brought in last Wednesday
night at half past eleven o'clock, confirm the
rumored capture of• twelve -hundred of Wil
son's raiders. This report was the burden of
every tongue until it was knocked flat, by an
other, later and more delightful: A Colonel,
it was said, had just come over who had seen
fifteen hundred of the' captured raiders and
fourteen -pieces of cannon taken from them:

• : tpilichreTtoik& THE ENGAGEMENT. '
Sappony Church• is about twenty miles
south of Petersburg, on the road to Law

Church a road leads to Reams' Station,.on'the
Petersburg. and Weldon Railroad, ten tidies
south of Petersburg. According to•theabove
dispatch, Hampton, proceeding from Peters

The fight continued during the night, and
at daylight this, Wednesday, morning, he
turned their left and routed them. Hampton,
after fighting all night on the road, with his
face towards Lalvrendeville, . moved to the
west at daylight, thereby leaving the road
open.- Bpthis movement he also turned the
enemy's loft, and routed them, •and' the road
to Reams'; Station, ten miles dishint, being
open, they fled in that direction.
To get to'Reams' the enemy had been fight
ing all night. As a matter of course, as•soon
as they found the road no longer obstructed,
thez quit fighting and raUfor•it. At Reams'
Station they had expected to find. Grant.
They had left him thi3re. - _ Great indeed must
have been their surmise and disappointment

What does Ahe enemy ,do hi this critical con
juncture 2 if seems to us at this distance of
time and place'and with only the facts stated
in the dispatch to guide us, that the best and
most natural of obvidds things in the world
for them to do was' to file to the right, that
route, according to' the facts before us not be
ing stopped,land proCeeding five or six miles
to the southweat, take the Prince George
Court House road northwest into Grant's
lines.
But it appears that the enemy would not do
this thing quietly. They fought, and were
completely routed, ilk., &c., and then took
the road we have just indicated, and at last
accounts our cavalry were in pursuit.
They could have gone no other way but
this; for, be it recollected, Mahone was in
front or northeast; Fitzhugh Lee on the left
and on the west, and Hampton on the south.
They must have taken this route or run down
the Petersburg mid Weldon Railroad, which,
we take it, would have been , rough traveling
for leg weary cavalry.
If our explanation of this affair, and of how
the enemy escaped, is not satisfactory to the
gentle reader, we respectfully refer him to the
study of Gen. Lee's dispatch and the Press

FURTECEIt. COMMENTS ON THE SEWS
Ddringthe day many persons were inclined
to believe that all the hard fighting and heavy
captures had been made after the date of
General Lee's dispatches, and by much talk-.
ing and oft repeating of the same affair over
with variations, they managed to revive the
stories of the morning.
About two o'clock the President's dispatch,
previously alluded to, arl hich will be found
under our telegraphic head, was received and
made public. This dispatch' says that Gen.
Mahone, assisted by cavalry, came'rip with
Wilson's raiders, near Reams' Station, &c.,
fought and routed them, driving them four
miles, &c. Whioh way did he drive them
four miles ? • • •
our cavalry were in pursuit of them at last
accounts, and a large number of them ought
to be captured... If it is here meant that the
raiders deserve to 'be captured, we Perfectly
agree with the dispatch. In this sense we
will say that every Yankee in Virginia and ev
erywhere else, ought to be captured.
But, if it is intended :to be conveyed, that
the chances are that they will be captured;
we do not agree with the- cliipatch: A road
was open to the enemy by the right flank, and
Grant's army was not far off.. •
But again Ilia questiori- recurs, if We were
driving and punning the enemy, which way
were they going? This dispatch says the
enemy are retreating in great by the
route by which they came to Reams' Station.
When they came to Reams', which time? If
this last time, 'then they are retreating to
ward's Lawrenceville, but this cannot be, for
we have just left Hampton down that road.
If the enemy did not cross the railroad at
Reams' Run for the road leading to Prince
George's Court House, and fly up that road,
we cannot imagine what did become of him.
The train from Petersburg brought no further
intelligence from the battle with the raiders.
It was said . -by passengers that four hun
dred Yankee prisoners; and the same number
of captured negroes, had arrived at Petersburg,
but our informants had not seen, but only
heard of them.
Agentleman who came from Stony. Creek,
twenty miles south of Petersburg, after the
fight bn Wednesday, is positive that he saw
two hundr'ed Yankee prisoners in one gang,
and sficilundred 4 another. We give his
