offered for sale in market is increased from
twenty-five to fifty per cent. through the opera
tions of these speculators; and whereas, the Ci
ty Councils, having full and complete control
of said market, they owe it as a duty to the
public to protect them from impositions of this
character, it is, therefore,
Resolved, That the filarket Committee be and

New Bullsitugs.--liwing to the scarcity of
labor, the new buildings about the city are go
ing up slowly, and the high price of labor and
material makes it a discouraging and expensive
time to build. A building erected now will
coat two or three times as much as It would two
or three years ago. Such buildings as are pro
gressing now will no doubt be completed, but
the hard times will deter many from building,
that would otherwise be engaged In the busi

B. L. H. Dabbs.—Tho public are beginning
to take an interest in the quality of the photo

they wish to know where they may secure the

suitable place to get a first rate photograph ,we
would say at Dabb's galleries No. 46 St. (lair

cause we saw the beat finished likeness at that
gallery, and because we tried it on, and know
of a truth that he has skillful workmen in hie
employ, has excellent camerae. skylights,
chemicals and apparatus and that he bestows
pains upon his work and is delighted in super

Another Invasion of Maryland
Probable

Rumors a,pd Exaggerated Reports
BALTIMORE, July 26.—The American
has the following: The city last night
was full of exciting rumors of rebel
movements in the Shenandoah valley,
together with vague accounts of a disas
ter to the force under General Averill.
Among the rumors prevalent were the
deaths of Gens. Kelley and Averill and
(Joh Mulligan. As tar as ascertained,
Gen. Averill, after his successful en
counter with Early's forces pursued
them to the mountains beyond Winches
ter, Where Early made a stand, and
after heavy fighting on Saturday and
Sunday, the rebels in the meantime hav
ing been reinforced, Averill was compel
led to tall back to Harper's Ferry, bring
ing with hint the forces at Bunker Hill,
and causing also the evacuation of Mar
tinsburg.
The rebels pursued, and yesterday
afternoon: occupied Martinsburg, where
they cut the telegraph wires and com
menced to destroy the track of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. Our forces,
according to the best advices we could
obtain, are concentrating at Harper's
Ferry under 111/titer.
It is rumored that the rebels arc in
large force, but this can hardly be pos
sible, beyond the strength of the forces
under Early and Breckintidge. The
,ei.jcct of the rebels in returning is,
d.oelo less, to give time for the safety of
their trains and plunder, Lied to scum 11
11 11 1111 M a 1.111 . 11 - 0114 in 111 P Shenandoah

wade Maly land for more plunder.
We have no authentic account of the
extent of the disaster to our forces, be
yond ‘Viuchester; no confirmation of
the death of Averill, Kelley and Mul
ligan. We learn that orders were sent

'Lapel's Ferry and Winchester, an,
that Hunter was repulsed. Also that
e'veral pieces of artillery and two hr

It is impossible to ascertain the tru

I:- no doubt that a serious disaster has
occurred to the forces of Hunter,

Losses in Friday's Fight—Success
ful Cavalry Raids.
NEW YORE, July 2G.— A Tribune
special, dated Washington, July 25,
s iys: A dispatch from Atlanta received
by Government this evening places our
losses in Friday's battle at about 3,ni10
and that of the rebels at about fi,opo. ,
bout Suit dead rebels were buried in
!lout of our lift wing. The fighting is
described as having been terrific, the
r, bids making repented charges with the
bayonet, each time being repulsed with
much slaughter and finally driven into
!heir fortifications.
The rebels destroyed all their immense
depots of provisions in Atlanta, and it
is believed were retreating the Macon
road. Our cavalry would probably in
tercept their retreat long enough to en-
able our infantry to come up. Two re
Brig,adiers were 1(114 , 1 and t
wounded
Dispatches have just been received an
nouncing the successful rt sults of Gen
eral Rousseau's cavalry expedition on
the flank of Hood's army at Atlanta.
Rousseau's force left Decatur a few days

column proceeded down the railroad to.
wards Montgomery, Alabama, burning
•ill the railroad bridges, and artiving at
Montgomery.
A column, undkr General Garrard,
which left Decatuf, Georgia, at the same,
destroyed the railroad at different points
for twenty miles south, and also destroy
ed the railroad between that place and
Covington. The large railroad bridges
crossing Ulcofauhachee and the Yellow
river were burned. Both, columns have
arrived safely at Marrietta, the loss tri

The Victory at Atlanta
NEW YORK, July 26.—A Herald's
special dated Washington, says: The
reports of the tights at Atlanta are re
garded here as highly satisfactory, and
indicative of a much more substantial
victory than the mere Occupation of that
city would have been.
According to official accounts received
since Hood assumed command or the
rebel army, he has lost over 12,000 men,
while Slim man's losses will not exceed
3,500. It is believed that Hood's army
must have become so thoroughly demOr
alized [Here the line ceased working.]

RUMORS GREATLY EXAGGERATED
Averill Compelled to Fall Back
Communication Forbidden
Statements of Refugees
BALTIMORE, July 20, p. m.—The ev
ening edition of the American publishes
the following:
We have been able to ascertain this
morning nothing definite with regard to
the rebel movements at Martinsburg,
and along the line of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, further than that most
of the exciting stories in circulation
on Monday were either unfounded or
greatly exaggerated. As far as we can
ascertain this morning, Averill has not
been killed, but was compelled to fall
back to the Potomac, and from thence
through Martinsburg to Williamsport,
Md., carrying with him the entire gar-
rison at that point. Whether the rebels
occupied Martinsburg last night is not
known, but of 'its evacuation there
gems to be Iln doubt. This morning,
the trains to Frederick and Washington
went nut as usual, and a train for Sandy
Hook left at 7.45 a. m.
The suspension of telegraphic opera
thins last night is said to have been
caused by storm. Hunter has, howev
er forbidden all telegraphic communi
cation with Harper's Ferry, and, of
course, we have nothing definite from
that ci ittity.
The American's Point Lrokout cor
respondent says during last week there
were large arrivals here of refugees
from the South, consisting of old men,
women and children. These people
say that the authorities at Richmond
grant passes to all women and children
and old men who wish to come North.
Sonic of these refugees say that when
crossing the Rappahannock, they heard
that Sheridan had attacked Early in his
retreat, and captured hack a large num
ber of cattle and wagons. The * fight
was said to have taken place near
Staunton.
An Important Communication
The Surrender of Brownsville
Texas, Demanded,
Gen. Erayman Assumes Command
CA Tito, .1 uly 2G —A private letter from
a well known gentleman of New Or
leans to the True Della, dated Villa
Contrenta, Mexico, June 30th, states
that intelligence has just been received
from the country above Matamoras, that
Guilford, commanding the rebel forces
at Eagle Pass, has demanded the sur
render of Brownsville, Texas. He is
said to he an enterprising soldier, and
has 7,000 troops, all Texans, except one
thousand, who are Mexican outlaws
and renegades. Gen. Herron, com
manding at Brownsville, is said to be
strongly entrenched, and has a force ca
pable of taking the offensive, if neces
sary.
Gen. Brayman arrived at Natchez and
assumed command there, relieving,„Col.
THE RE - 13JE,'L. RAID.
The Government's Preparations, &c., &o
NEW YORK, July 25.—Special dis
patches state that the Government, ex
pecting a return of the rebel invaders
made preparations to prevent a serious
incursion into Maryland and Pennsyl-
It is believed that the plunder lately
obtained has been deposited in the Shen
andoah Valley to supply a formidable
force to be sent northward. Others
think this new demonstration is only
to detain the 6th corps from Grant.
If the opinion of Solicitor Whiting
denying the exemption of 100 day men
is adhered to, disaffection will arise in
Massachusetts, as Gov. Andrew ordered
proceedings under the impression that
those enlisting would not be liable to
draft until the expiration of the term of
service.
Important Order from the Pro-
vost Marshal General
Po t'an HERM; July 26.—The follow
ng has just been received here:
WAR DEP'T, P. M. G.'s OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, July 25.
7o (leo. Furness, Mayor of Poughkeepsie.
SIR: My dispatch in answer to your
telegram of the 20th, should have read:
Volunteers under the present call will
be credited man for man, whether they
enlist for one, two or three years. When
they enlist for the shorter terms, more
men may be required at the expiration
of their terms to equalize the amount of
military services among the different
States and parts of States.
I am sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
J. &WRY, Pro. Mar. G.
From Harrisburg
HARRIBBIIRO, July 26.—Gen. Conch
has advised the State authorities to re.
ceive all companies tendered for one
year's service, andlo attach them tem
porarily to the organizations of 100
day's men. All is quiet on the Upper
Potomac to-day.
New York State Quota.
ALBANY, Ally 26 .—The - quota of thEi
State under the last call for 500,000 men;
is stated at 89,318 men.
Early in the Shenandoah Valley,
THE UNION TROOPS DEFEATED
Rebels Advance on Harper's Ferry,
Mulligan's Death not Confirmed
Nicw YORK, July 26.-LThe Washing
ton dispatches say that the rebel rain
ing forces under Early moved through
the Gaps on Sunday morning into the
Shenandoah Valley. Here they en
countered the force of Gen. Averill and
Crook, and also a part of the command
of Hunter. A battle took place, in
which the Union troops were defeated
and compelled to retreat. Gen. Averill
lost heavily. The rebel force greatly
outnumbered that of the Federate. Yes
terday, Gen. Early occupied Martins
burg, and advanced with several thous
sand men towards Harper's Ferry. No
intelligence of their crossing into Mary
land has been received. The move
ment has been made evidently under the
impression that our troops had been
withdrawn.
Our troops in this Department have
been moved to points where they will
be likely to pievent any such raid as
the recent one.
There is a report of the death of Col.
Mulligan, but it is not yet confirmed. A
dispstch from Gen. Hunter, at Harper's
Ferry, states that he knows nothing
about it, and it is hoped the rumor is in
correct.
There is good reason to believe that
Early's forces will not cross into Mary
land in this direction. They may, how
ever, attempt an irruption into Penn
sylvania.
The Lincoln and Johnston Red(
cation Meeting.
Pol. Draper's Expedition a Success
Sm. Louis. July 2G.—The Lincoln and
Johnson ratification meeting last night
was very largely attended. Speeches
were made by James H. Lane of Kansas,
and several other gentlemen. Strong
anti-slavery and patriotic resolutions
were passed. The . Democrat's (St. Jo
seph) special says the upper counties
tinned out a very large number of men
umler Gea. Fiske's order. Many mill-
tia have already taken the field. The
expedition under Col. Draper, returned
here after being in saddle nearly two
weeks, they killed about one hundred
guerrillas. Maj. Hugh Fullerton. has
been nominated for Congress by Union
ists in the ninth district, Illinois.
Further of the Rebel Raid
WASHINGTON, July 26.—Late dispatch
es from . Harper's Ferry, state that the
rebels have not menaced that place, and
are not nearer the Potomac than Mar
tinsburg.
The Government has dispatches from
Atlanta to-day. They announce that
Sherman's operations are progressing
favorably. The rebels have not recov
ered from the blow received on Friday.
