Ricamoso.—O° Wednesday last we
-.received a letter from Rev. T. V. Moore, dated
Richmond, June 29, 1864, and mailed at Bean
tosi`m, Md., on the 9th inst. It had - doubtless
been sent to garylaud by some one of the rebel
army of invasion. He writes mainly about our
Citizen prisoners from this place. He saw Dr.
liamilton and Mr. Culbertson on the 28th, and
re p o rts them well, and us comfortable as it is
possible to make them. The other prisoners
aro still at Salisbury. He has supplied our cit
izen prisoners with about 151,400 in rebel cur
- rency, and acknowledges the receipt of a Balti
more draft for $lOO we sent him through Gen.
-.Butler some Months ago. , sold it for $5OO,
and apologizes for the small sum received for it
`by saying that "the obstacles in the way of
blockade running" depreciated the value of the
draft. He gives renewed assuramir that he
will continue to supply the wants of our citizens
in; long as it is , in his power; wishes another re
mittance to he sent direct to Gen. Lee through
Gen. Butler, and sends his kind regards to "all
fold friends who care to hear from
, A.nother portion of the letter relates the ex
change of our prisoners, and we withhold its
anggestions—Laving forwarded them to the au
, thorities at Washington for consideration. It
should be known that our government has
twice proposed to exchange rebel civilians for
these unfortimate men, but the rebel authori
lies have steadily refused to dose:,

KILLED IN A.CTtoN.—A. correspondent writes
us from the Army of the Cumberland that
Sergt. David B. Miller, of Dry Sun, Franklin

was instantly killed on the Loathing of the 6tli

September /861, under thelate Capt. M'Kes

_until he fell, another sacrifice to murderous
treason. When the cull was made last fall for

THE CASH SYSTEM.—We are glad to see the
Leavy mercantile firm of Eyster & Brother,
announce that hereafter they will do business
strictly on the CASE SYSTEM. The sooner the
people come to this, the better for merchants
sod customers. as cash patrons dealing with
credit merehantx,. must always pay ttibir share
of the losses sustained by indisCriminate credit.
Indeed every cash customer. who understands
his interest will deal only with cash dealers.
Eyster& Brother have their store fully replen
ished again, and crowded with customers as
usual.
MILITARY MOV Eli ENT/I.—Capt. Daridson, of
Greencastle. reported a full company for mount
ed service on Monday last, and Capt. Lambert
has his company nearly full.. Both are experi
encod commanders and hive excellent men. It
is confidently expected that the county will pay
'a bounty of $5O to each man, as it is impossible
.for men with families to enter the service at
this season, without positive loss. Considering
that they offer -their services for the common
protection of all, it is but just that all should
contribute alike to their suppdrt. Let-the com
missioners' pay the bounty.

TILE ASS-JLT ON WASHINGTON•
On Tuesday, the 12thinst., the rebels ap
peared in frontor Washington, on the Tennal
lytownrolid," some four miles North-west of the
city. The force consisted of:Earley.'s, Rhode's
and Grordoti's divisions of -infantry:and Ran
som's e,avalry—allcotnmanded be Gcm. Breck
inridge. Skirmishing had been going on during
Monday. but without material results.
ATTACK ON FORT STEVENS
Abourdavlight on Tuesday skirmishing again
commenced: the rebels - appeared M good
force on ..the left, between Fort Stevens, and
Fort De Hussey, in Widow Corberry's
The gunners In the Fort (13 31iiihigart
Artille
ry) threw a few shells in this direction, which
had the effect of driving them out, when they
(the rebels) worked around to the right, en
deavoring to get in between Fort Stevens and
Fort Sloedtn. Here the Ist Brigade '2d Divi
sion of the 9th Army Corps, General Wheaton,
were posted in skirmishing line. At first the
Federal's got the worst of it, bat finally the
rebels were driven back, out of a field'of low
undergrowth and bushes, frdm which they ter
ribly annoyed our troops. TWo prisoners were
captured, belonging' to the 21st and 12th Geor
gia regiments. They were dressed in grey
jackets and pants, and presented a terribly fil
thy appearance, as thougk - they had marched
many weary miles. Two other - prisoners had
previously been brought in, one belonging to
the 21st Virginia Cavalry and the other to the
46th - battalion Virginia Cavalry, of Gornion'-s
Corps. 'These prisoners had very little to say,
but seemed to take their capture with as much
nonchalance us possible.
Up to 11 o'clock the skirmishing was con
tinued, the 'rebels endeavoring to reach a livid
of low bushes on the right of the Seventh street
road. At one time they broke cover, and the
Federal troops could be seen rushing across
the road as though in pursuit. Soon a vigorous
banging took place. Several Federals were
seen to, fall on the road. Among them was
Col. 'Wier, of the 98th Pennsylvania, who
`was shot through the right thigh. The wound
is 'very painful, but not dangerous. All this
skirmishing took place within three hundred
yards of Fort Stevens.
TIiti.REBELS DRIVEN JACK.
. The charge upon the enemy in front of Fort
Stevens, on Tuesday night, was made by the
3d Brigade 2d Division or the (ith Corps. Col.
Biddle commanding. Our line was advanced
beyond Bluir's•house by this driving of the re
bels from their position. In this eliarg,; we
bad 300 killed and wounded, and the rebel loss
exceeded ours. The battery at Fort Stevens
was most admirable worked and did good exe
cution.
WHAT REBEL PRISONERS SAI
Captured rebel soldiers say that they were
informed on the march that Washington was
only guarded by clerks and militia, and there
fore it would be easily taken. They conlims
they were undeceived when they saw the heads
of columns of Peninsular veterans of 6th Corps.
The preservatiau of the mansion of Mr. Fran
cis P. Blair, is due to the interference of Gen.
Breekinridge, who Was no doubt influenced by
the friendly relations formerly existing between
himself and the eminent owner
The residence of the Hon. Montgomery Blair,
P. M. General was destroyed with an its con
tents, which act of Vandalism entails consider
able loss on the Post master General. F. P.
Blair is the father of P. M. Gen. Blair and they
live close together. -
THE PRESIDENT IN THE FIELD.
The President rode to the frrnt in the direc
tion ofTenallytown at about 9 A. M. on Tues
day, aeCompanted by Assistant Adjt. Gen. Har
die atd a mounted escort. Yesterday he paida
similar visit of observation and inspe,ction.—
His presence among our gallant troops will
doubtless do much to animate and encourage
them irethe discharge of 06-duties. Secreta
ry Stanton was also with the President in the
intreachments, cheering the, troops and aiding
to Wend the capital against the hosts of trea
son.
THE VETERANS PEItSUE THE REBELS
Towards six' o'clock the veterans from the
" Fighting Sixth" began to deploy. as skirmish
ers. and soon the rebels commenced falling bael;;
and they were driven from their position and
forced back-a - tuile and a half from the front, in
the vicinity of Silver Spring,the residence of Mr.
Blair, The rebels could not stand'their dash
ing, continuous tire. They knew them of old,
and they gave way, as they hare often done be
fore. A tew shell were discharged at intervals
from Stevens and the adjoining forts; but they
were not returned.
LOSSES AT THE MONOCAer
In the hospitals at Frederick over four hun
dred of the rebel wonaded-are now under care
of •our surgeons, and the citizens of _Frederick
and surgeons of our hospitals state that every
man who was capable of being removed with
out serious injury was carried off in ambulan

their loss. Before they retired from the city
they burned down all the Government buildings
except the hospitals. • Dr., Johnson, the Medi

GEN. TYLER NOT CAPTURED.
Gen. Tyler, the same who commanded our
126th in the nine months service, was separated
from his command at the Monocae y and narrow
ly escaped capture. He, got off by secreting
himself in 'ttin l woods, after his command bad,
been broken an part of it captured, and finally
escaped to Baltimore.
FIiIifKLIN'ESCAP.
Mnj. lien. Fratinti was eaphuva . by the
citiy-::.St44llititi Y ik.ii3p6itOitt; 411)ttntbasintfo - , 1- Po:
retch on the.Philadelpliin train: on Monday, and
taken to Towsontewu in a carriage. He thus ,
describes his escape from the burrows ofLibby I
Prison life.
The General was put in the custody of Cap.
tam Ch ens and two guards, who were charged
with his 'safe keiiiing. Excusing himself as sick 4
and weary he immediately laid down and feign=
ed sleep. Soon after the captain and his guards
luid down and he listened anxiously for indica
tions of sleep on their part.
He had not to wait long, before lie heard the
guard nearest to him commence to breathe
heavily, momentarily increasing the volume and
profundity until it became sufficiently loud to
wake any ordinary sleeper.
The Captain and his other guard bad also in
the meantime commenced to bicathe rather
heavy, and the General continued with his earn
open to feign sleep. He lay in this way for
some time until all, three gave unmistakable
signs of sleep. Fearing that they were playing
possum he got tip and walked carelessly and
moved:over to the fence, still watching them.
Ho then coughed loudly and made considerable
noise, thinking that they wanted an_excuse to
shout - at hint—each man lying with his right
haltd grasping the muzzle of his rifle.
The 'indications of profound steep being so
unmistakable on the part of all three of them,
he now, thought he would test the sincerity of
their slumbers by jumping the fence. This he
did, and on looking back could see no move
ment of the dusky forms of his guards, and off
he shot across several fields, jumping the fences
and keeping straight ahead in the - direction he
thought would take him toward the- city. 'He
ran for about three quarters of an hour, when
he entered a thick wood and in his weakly state,
being really broken down by fatigue, he sought
a place of concealment. He remained conceal=
ed Om the 'balance of the night and all the next
dal," - frequently seeing from his hiding place the
rebel scouts searching for him, and scouring the
bushes of the roads,
Finally about snnset, almost famished for
water 'and food, he thought he would venture
out haVing come to the conclusion that freedom
was nearly as had na being a prisoner. He
still itept . to the woods, howo% er, and soon saw
two men moving towards him, carrying large
bundles of hay.
He walked up to them and asked them what
they were doing with bay in this wood,, when
due of them replied: "We have hid our horses
in the woods to keep ithem out of the hands
of the d—n rebels and we are going to feed
them.", This reply was a sufficient indication
of their sentiments and he immediately made
known to them the cirefonstances of his pres
ence in the:woods and who• he was.
They4rected- him most kindly and cordially,
dropped their hay and conducted him by a
secluded route to their farm house, where he
was most , kimily and hospitably received by the

host, who, on Wednesday, Set about devising
means of getting him to the city. This he ac
complished, and at midnight a carriage went

free than he ever had felt in his life •
The name of the gallant and patriotic
Maryland farmer is at present witheld for the
reason of fear of rebel retribution should any
more, of the highwaymen of Gilmore's band be

RETREAT OF ItEBELS
The rebels have got away and the crossed
the Potomac in the following order:
3 taschY; at the head of six or seven hundred
of his cavalry, crossed into Virginia at house's
',Breckiaridge Crossed his command at
three places—Edwards' Ferry, White's Ford
and_Pnzut of Rocks.
About, 1,500 of the rebel cavalry crossed at
Walker's Ford, and some 2,000 of them in the
afternoon ' - of the 13th. The rebels had every
ford protected with artillery, and they - depar
ted to high glee. The head of their retreating
column moved towards Ashby's Gap.
Ori their retreat through the upper portion of
Montgomery county, the rebels made a clean
sweep of horses and cattle, and many of them
went so far as to steal the clothing of women
andchildrey and other personal effects, togeth
er with the contents of stores.
THE REHM FORCE
From conversations with fannera from Mont
gomery county, it appears that the fields Mr
several miles ere tilled with thernemy, and
that,those Who made the demonstration on our
iunnediate front were only the advance f f their
army. The intention was evidently to invade
Washington, but the continuous arrival of troops
in formidable numbers satisfied them that their
designrwas _not easily to be accomplished.—
There' is no doubt they were previously en-
Couraged to the adventure by many sympathizing
friends—those who took pains to point Out
Uniim men as especial victims of plunder.—
These secession-loving farmers were engaged
as agents in the robbery of their patriotic neigh
bors, who severely suffered by the treachery.
It see ins settled that the invading force consis
ted of from 20,000 to 25,000. a large portion Of
which was cavalry and mounted infantry. Sev
eral regiments 'of infitutry Were mounted on
stolen horses during their - inarch.
TILE: REISER, TAX ON FREDERICK.
'Frederick had bee❑ taxed $200,00.1 by the
rebeLs. The amount was raised with comma
five willingness by the citizens, who thus towed
a notch greater destruction of property. The
people of the town paint the scene of their visit
in vivid colors. The - streets of the whole town
were at one time crowded with the plunder of
stolen cattle, horses, and wagons full of booty.
ESCAPE 01' THE REBELS
It is not, probable that the-rebel roree can
be interrupted in their retreat, ns they have
such a large mounted force and have a - good
start. It is more than probable that they will
get off with their plunder.
OBJECT OF TIIE MOVEMENT.
The primary object of the invasion was doubt.
less to frighten Grant, to raise the - siege - of
Richmond to save Washington: but on that
they failed. They had a vague hope of elptnr
ing Washingtoo.by surprise ; but that thilod sig
nally and they have but their plunder for their
pains,, and it will not compensate them fur a
toilsome march of over MO miles. ft shows
the desperate straits to which the rebellion is
reduced, and now that Richmond ha nut been
relieved, we hope soon to see it occupied by
Gen. Grunt and his heroin army.
