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 'lhe troops in question have not been withdrawn from Gen.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 peximent. 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. Frew :Nevada. SAN Paescrsixs, July 6. 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 ple last year, has been adopted as the basis of the new one. It is believed that a majority of the people in the Territory are in favor of. a State government. Proclamation by Goy. Seymour arn.xx, July 8. The Governor has issued his proclamation relative to the filling up of the National Guard of 75.000 men. Each county lutist furnish itsdairta of one hundred days men called for by the President. ZIO reply as to whether thirty days men would be acceptable has been received. , 330 - Itefer The Hebei Intasiol. Defeat of Rebels at Frederick. THEY RETREAT TO THE'ROUNTAINS. Arrival of Gen. Wallace. THE FIGHT ON THURSDAY The Bravety of Our Troops. THE SHELLING DF FREDERICK. Eteintoroeinepiio . ';- . ,Arriving% HARPER'S FERRY EVACUATED. 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. Wallace and to Gen. E. Tyler at Frederick Junction, about, three miles from the city; in forming them of the state of affairs, andrigle quickly did they respond to the call, dispatch. 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 hidden from sight to save it front pollution by the invading rebel crew, can be seen dis played from manrw window and house-top. and even borne in the streets. As our troops march through the: city they are received with the greateet euthusumee. The reception of the 11th Maryland this morning was aperfeet ovation,.' the Loyd ' citizens"' Notting to en deavor to outvie each other in their plaudits. The regiment itself looked remarkably well, and reflects credit upon its officers. THE SHELLING OF THE CITY The rebel sympathizers here contend that the shells which fell in the city yesterday were- not intended, to reach it, but overshot , their mark. This I doubt, for those who know Bradlir , T. •Tohliston here think he'weuld do anything* accoinpliehlila ends. Itis Sul*: posed that Some of the rebels thought that the cupola of the Court House was being used as a signal station for our officers, as one of their shells fell in the street adjoining it.

I=l=l BALTIMORE, July 9-3 P. M Our forces have 'evacuated Frederick and have retired in this direction ; and now occupy a position south of the Monocacy. The rebels occupy .Frederick, but in what force is not positively knows. Reports say 12,000, and that they are commanded by Breckinridge. There are reports, seemingly well founded, that another rebel force has crossed the Poto mac near Edwards' Ferry, and have moved in the direction of 'Urbanite, but in what force is not 'known This is supposed to be an effort to flank us. We are hourly gaining strength by reinforce ments, and we will, doubtless, frustrate this rebel movement. Prnmansa.Pars, July 9.—The Bulletin has a special from General Hanctock, stating that Ewell's, Breckinridge and Rhode's corps are on this side of the Potomac.
