THE SITUATION.
We are still without any reliable informa
tion from Hagerstown. It is asserted, how
ever, that there are still rebels hovering around
the place stealing everything they can find.—
The Government hay and the Cumberland
Valley engine house were burnt,but the owners
of the three warehouses saved their property
by paying $5OO each to the marauders. One
of the owners of the warehouses, being an ar
dent sympathizer with the rebels, expected to
be released from the payment, but it was "no
go:" he was obliged to fork over to save his
property.
From Baltimore we learn that a very large
force of veteran troops have arrived to check
mate the rebel rattlers, and that unless the
rebels have already retreated into Virginia a
heavy battle may hourly be expected. 'lhe
troops in question have not been withdrawn
from Gen. Grant's forces, but have beentaken
from places where they could easily be spared.
Our only information from Gen. Grant is
that ho was placing heavy siege batteries in
position in front of Petersburg and preparing
for movements that a short time will develope.
It is stated that he has kept the War Depart
ment well informed of tho extent of the pre
sent rebel movements on the Upper Potomac,
and has suggested the counter operjtions ne
cessary to check it. From what is trans
taring +- I .e this statement to be correct,
and that the Governme nt tae not been taken
unawares by the enemy's movements. -
From Georgia and the advance - of Sherman
we learn that there has been no fighting
since the 27th rat. The rebels under John
ston are reported to have crossed the Chatta
hoochee, on their retreat to Atlanta, but ac.
counts on this point are not positive.
Gen. (kraut and the Presidency.
Our Copperhead friends have postponed the
time of meetinq o of the Chicago Convention,
mainly for the reason that they have no avail
able candidate at the present time. The tail
of the McClellan kite was too heavy, and
brought him to the ground, while they are
afraid Vallandigham, Den Wood or Fernando
,Wood, would not be endorsed by the rank
and file of the party. Under these circum
stances, the knowing ones of the party have
o Ist their "evil" eyes upon Gen. Grant, in the
hope that he will consent to be their candi
date. This forlorn hope, however, will hard
ly succeed, for the Milwaukie Sentinel, a paper
in the interest of Gen. Grant, avers that it
"knows from perfectly reliable sources that
Gen. Grant has peremptorily refused, in ad
vance, any offer of the Presidency. He re
plied to those who were seeking to learn his
views on the subject, that while the war last
ed, no earthly inducement could take him
voluntarily from his present position, and
that even should the war come to a speedy
conclusion, he would be the most ungrateful
of men to run against Mr. Lincoln. This
declaration comes to us through the most
trustworthy sources, and• affords to us con
clusive proof that Gen. Grant has fully de
cided not to enter the political • arena. And
those who know him, know that he is not apt
to waver whin he has made up his mind one
way or the other.
The Soldiers , Vote.
Why is the soldier deprived of his vote?
asks the Lancaster Express. Nobody seems
to know. Is it just? Nobody affirms it. Is
it law? Hon. George W. Woodward so de
cides. Are the eminent jurists of our State
unanimous in this decision? By no means.
Is this, then, a "question of law" upon which
"doctors disagree?" You've hit it there, my
friend. Did this decision give Judge Wood
ward a better chance of election last fall? It
certainly did. Why? Because the soldiers,
had they not been disfranchised, would have
voted almost said against him. Why do you
think so? Well, the boys are loyal to . Freedom,
and then we recall Vallandigham with his Wa
terloo defeat, Ohio soldiers voting! If there is
a difference of opinion among the "doctors"
upon this question of law, why may not the
depision be reversed? Because the Union men
of the Keystone prefer that "everything may
be done on the square." and' for that reason
they give Copperheadism "the benefit of the
doubt." Finally, why is this election to be
held on TEE ' . SECOND DAY OF AVoisr? Merely
for the people of Pennsylvania to put beyond
cavil or dispute the soldier's right to exercise
the dearest privilege of the freeman—to d o .
aide the question in such a manner that even
the most venomous Copperhead can no longer
question the legality of Tun sounms' Irma.
The Patriotism of the Women of the
korni states.
We are glad to see that the Ness in all parts
of the loyal States are yielding a just credit
to the patriotism of the women of this coun
try. In our rivalries to do honor to the brave
men engaged in the struggle for the Govbrn- .
meat, we have failed properly to recognize th..
services of the loyal women of the land. BA.
marking on this subject, the Pittsburg
.Com
mercial says that at no time since the war
commenced, have the loyal women of our
country hesitated for an instant to take an ao
five part in whatever was fit for them to engage
in, having for its object the upholding of the
Government No proper estimate can be
plaCeil on the services they have performed,
not alone by their patriotic counsel, but with
their luindrandiheir purse. They have been
first in the sanitary efforts of their country,
not because they would not as readily have
done as much to fill the armies as for the
wounded, but because that was a field at once
open to them. The obstacles in the way of
active participation by the women in efforts
for keeping ourarmies full, have been removed
by the recent order Of the Provost Marshal
General. By a happy thought of that officer,
the door has been opened to them to enter on
the business of placing men in the ranks.
The women of the land can have representa
tive substitutes as well as the men. The pro
visions of the order apply equally to both
sexes. There is a novelty in the idea, but is
it objectionable? On the contrary, is it not a
noble idea for the women of the North to en
tertain and act upon, those of them, at least,
who can, of placing representative recruits in
the ranks in the same manner that exempted
men do? Why net? .There are thousands of
women who have the means, and, we believe,
the disposition to do it. They make clothing
and provide everything for the com
fort of our soldiers. Why not, by
a judicious and patriotic use of means,
obtain recruits as well, representatives, who
shall be cared for by them, and who will fight
all the better for the 'sake of the noble women
who adopted them ? Why not? we ask again.
Can any one give a reason why the women
should not contribute thus directly to save the
nation? How many thousand soldiers might
they not send into the field, if they were only
to go to work systematically and with the zeal
they have manifested in other ways?
No inconsiderable share of the capital of
the country is held by the women. It is but
fair that they should help furnish defenders.
Since the door has been opened by the action
of the Provost Marshal General, we do not
doubt that the opportunity will be improved
by those noble women of the land whose pa
triotism is of the kind that is to save the na
tion.
Interesting and Successful Ex

BLOWING Cr A BAR LN THE EIBBISSEPPI
From the New Orleans Env, June 29.
We were the witness yesterday of an inter
esting scientific experiment, the practical
results of which were of the moot oatvlsotorir
na+ ,,,.,„ .ramtrietilS than LUG DiOW..
miß`p of A Mfr which had formed near one of
the upper wharves, and which interfered with
the landing of vessels.
The Reading Press, as •is well known, is
occupied as a naval depot, and is under the
charge of Copt. A. C. Sterrett, Naval ^Ord
nance Officer at this post. Some time since,
but when, or what vessels, we know not, a
craft sunk while lying moored at the wooden
piers, opposite the press, and around her the
sand and mud of the Mississippi, while the
water was high, settled in such quantities as
to render it difficult and dangerous for supply
ships to land. •
.A torpedo, some time since was lowered
into the sunken vessel and exploded, com
pletely tearing it to pieces; but the great fall
in the waters recently has nullified the im
provements thus made, as the bar fornied
around the fragments is ado large as to again
render it difficult for vessels to approach the
wharf. To remove this annoyance Captain
Sterrett determined to again resort to the
torpedo, and applied to Lieut. Frank W.
Wickes, Acting Superintendent of Military
Telegraphs, for assistance.
Yesterday noon Lieut. Wicker, aided by
Mr.. David E. Elphio, accomplished the task.
Four torpedoes were exploded, and instead of
being seven and eight feet of water at the
wharf; there is now from seventeen to twenty.
The torpedoes consisted of a sheet iron case;
each containing seventy-five pounds of .pow
der, placed in a barrel, the space between be
ing tightly filled with earth.
A heavy weight of iron was fastened to the
bottom; and inserted in the top was a wooden
plug through which the wire passed and Con
nected with au electric battery some distance
from the spilt Where the "machines" were
sunk. After the torpedoes were lowered at
the points selected by Capt. Sterrett and
Lieut. Wicker, (the most suitable spot being
discovered by sounding,) Mr. Elphio finished
the work by firing it from his station 'at:the
battery,
The report that followed each discharge
was not very loud, but the water was thrown
to a height of about seventy-five feet in im
mense volumes, and tons of black mud surged
up and was carried away by the current.
The waves rolled up on the banks and tossed
the light skiffs that were around the scene of
action about as though they were ' feath
ers. Large numbers of fish were killed
by the concussions', and' floated to the
surface of the water where they became
the! spoils of the eager boatmen who
were floating around for the purpose of pith
ering up "unconsidered trifles." Altogether
the experiment was a complete success, and
will doubtless be followed by others of a simi
lar nature. The eight to us was a novel and
peculiar one, and we consider ourselves more
than repaid for the trouble it cost us.

The Nevada Constitutional Convention has
adopted this name of Nevada for the new
State. The bill of rights adopted declares
that the paramount allegiance of every citizen
is due to the United States Government. The
constitution, which was rejected by the peo

FREDERICK, Thursday Night, - July 7
EXCITEMENT AT FREDERICK.
To-day has been one of unparalleled excite
ment in this city. From early dawn it had
been rumored that the rebels were onlY a tew
miles from the city, and that they would soon
enter and occupy it. The arrival of couriers
and wounded from the fight beyond Middle
town, bringing the news that our small force
engaged in holding the rebels in check—about
three hundred men of the Bth Illinois Cavalry
and two pieces of Captain Alexander's Balti
more Artillery—were unable to cope with the
superior force of the enemy, and were slowly
falling back towards this city, fighting all the
way, added fuel to the flame, and by noon
business was suspended, stores closed, and
many leaving the city by every possible con
veyance.
About half-past three o'clock our forces
were seen-coming down the Hagerstown pike,
and immediately took position on the edge of
the town. Everything looked very gloomy at
this juncture, as it would be imposible to
resist a direct assault upon the town with the
light force at the command of Col. Clenden
ing, of the Bth Illinois Cavalry, who was in
command of the Union troops.
Thanks to Gen. Lew. Wallace and the Rail
road Company, however, the 3d Maryland
Regiment of Veterans, from Monocacy, ar
rived just in time, and promptly marched to
the front,,singiog "Bally . 'Round the Flag,
Boys," and promising to give the Rebels "the
best they had in the shop."
'THE ATTACZ.
The rebels about four o'clock were to be
seen from the roofs of the houses of the city
coming down the Hagerstown road, and also
the Harper's Ferry, or Jefferson road, appa
rently in strong force. Captain Alexander's
guns immediately fired upon the foe and
checked thenymomentarily_by the excellence
of his aim,,. but it'Tas poly for a moment.. 7--
The enemy Closett.up and formed their line
on the west front: of the' city, covering the
Harper's Ferry and Hagerstown roads, plant
ing their guns on Hagan's Hills and the Red
Hills, and posting their infantry and cavalry
in the valley formed by the abovlS named
hills and the Catoctin Mountains. Theii po
sition was a splendid one,.and their men 'well
protected. ,
The fight—for it was not a battle—com
menced at hail-past four o'clock, with an ar
tillery duel between our guns in Zimmerman's
field and the rebelguns pn 1 : 1 -nan's
0 „„ sea g op Lietit. - Perkins,
of Alexander's battery, and was handled in
the most effective manner, dismounting one
of the rebel'guns.
REBEL iumna,
The skirmishers advanced and the sharp
crack of , the musket was heard, for about two
hours with seemingly no result, when a com
pany of the Third Maryland made a charge
upon a force of rebels concealed behind a
stone fence in Bizer's field, lying on the Har
per's Ferry road on the west side, and suc
ceeded in dislodging them. They held the
position bravely for the remainder of i the
tight. The two companies of Colonel Mauls
by's regiment, supported the gun at the head
of Patrick street. The other guns were with
out any support, as every available man 'was
necessary to meet the foe in the skirmish line.
The Bth Illinois cavalry were onsmountedand
rendered very effective service with their car
bines. •
Shortly after six o'clock tbe word was passed
around that the ammunition of our brave de
fenders was giving out. There was none of
any description in the city, as Captain Platt,
the Quartermaster of the post, bad, renacmd
it all on Sunday lash, in anticipation of in
attack. Couriers, were disnatehe4...to ,Ger.

ing a special train immediately with plenty of
ammunition, which was promptly distributed
to the men., •
About seven o'clock our men began to drive
the Rebels, under the cover of the gani of
our batteries, and with cheers
.forced them
back over one hundred yards, in which posi
tion night closed on thu-• combatants,, both
quitting fire about , dark with a seemingly mu
tual understanding that it would be renewed
in the morning.
Faxamucx, July 8, 2 r. u.--There. has• been
no fighting to-day up to this time, with . the
exception of picket firing by our skirmishers,
who are feeling the, position of the Rebels.
During last, night they fell back from the line
they occupied during the. - fight, and are now
reported to be in position in the Middletown
Valley, holding the road to Middletown and
Hagerstown, grossing the Catoctin Mountain.
Two guns are mounted in the Gap. The.force
is now estimated to be about five thousand.
There is ,no clangpr of them making another
attack at this time upon Frederick.: Their
summer visit to "Maryland i my Maryland"
will this. time, I think, In effeotnally stopped,
and some of them may be compelled tp spend
a longer time , within her. limits, or frirther
North, than they intended to do when they
started away from the Mecca of their hopes,
and the seat of tie rebellion...
General Wallace has received reinforce,
wants, from where, and to ,what amount, I
leave to the enemy to find out for themselves.
But they are men who have been tried and
who know the work before theni,,and do hot
shrink from its performance, .With these
General Wallace is supposeCtu be forming'
an "anaconda" which will embrace, if not! all
the "traitors on our soil," at least a goodly
number. Certain it is that before many days
good news from this section will be heard.
Generals Wallace and Tyler and their staffs
are working as hard as men can labor to the
furtherance of this:end--
• AVPIIIFANOE OF THE CITY
Frederick to-day is not like Frederick of
yesterday. Since'the , arrival of Major_ Gen
eral Lew Wallace and his reinforcementic, the
appearance of the city has entirely changed.
Business has been resumed; and people , seem
confident that the danger has passed. • "Old
Glory," which had been In some inetances

the 11th Maryland this morning was aperfeet

The regiment itself looked remarkably well,
and reflects credit upon its officers.
THE SHELLING OF THE CITY

were- not intended, to reach it, but overshot ,
their mark. This I doubt, for those who

PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT,
The Restoration of States to the Union
WASH:ilia TON, July 9.
Wilinui v ts, The late session of Congress
pleased aehill to guarantee to certain States
whose - governments have been usurped or
overthrown, a republican form of Government,
a copy of which is hereunto annexed;
And whereas, The said bill was presented
to the President of the United States for his
approval, less than an hour before the sine
die adjournment of said session, and was not
signed by him;
And whereas, The said bill contains, among
other things, a plan for restoring the States in
'rebellion to their proper practical relation in
the Union, which plan expresses the sense of
aoustel....tpo n that subject and which plan is
now thought for to ray berore the people for
their consideration; now, therefore,
I, A BILUIAM TANCOIX, President of the Uni
ted States,
do proclaim, declare and make
known that while I am, as I was in December
last, when by proclamation I propounded a
plan for restoration, unprepared by a
formal . approval of this bill to be in
flexibly committed to any single plan
of restoration; and while I am also unprepar
ed to declare that the Free State constitution
and governments already adopted and install
ed in Arkansas and Louisiana, shall be set,
aside and held for nought, thereby repealing
and discouraging the loyal citizens who have
set up the same as to further effort, or to
declare a constitutional competency in
Congress to • abolish slavery in States,
but am :at the . same time sincerely
hoping and expecting that a constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery throughout
the nation may be adopted.. Nevertheless
I am fully, satisfied• with the system for the re
storation contained in the bill as one very pro
per for the loyal people of any State choosing
to adopt it. lam now and at all times shall be
prepared to give the' Executive aid and as
sistance to any such people who, as soon :
the military resistance to the United *Mt'
shall have been suppzesse,d in any
such 'State, and the people thereof sten
have sufficiently, returned to the obedience
to the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, in which cases military goy;
ernors will. be appointed, with direction to
proceed according to the bill. •
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and• caused th 2, seal of the United
States to be affixed.
