[CONTINUED FROM FOURTH PACE.J u't., in a cutter with only sixteen men. He ran ashore, concealed his men by day, and made a regular reconnoissance of the suburbs of Wilmington. He captured a courier with a valuable mail, took several prisoners, and ran the gauntlet of the rebel gunboats in getting back, which he did safely, alter au absence of three davs and two nights. The Richmond Dispatch, of the 1st inst., says that a day or two previous, an immense number oi' Federal transports were passing up the Chesapeake Bay, heavily laden with troops,and conjectures that this may be a movement of IJurnside's corps, on the way to reinforce Sherman in Georgia, or possibly to muko attack upon some undefended point. President Lincoln has sent a MajorGeneral's commission to the wife of the brave Brig.-Gen. Harker, who lost his life while gallantly leading his men against the enemy's works at Kenesaw Mountain. FRO.n 01R EXTRA OF flOADAY. , Rebel Papers to the 16th* Extracts from Washington Papers of the 19th. Yesterday, by flag of truce at Port Royal Ferry, Charleston papers of the 10th were received, and we make the following ext ."acts from them: Richmond, July 15.?The Washington Star of the evening of the 12th says; " Along the entire line this morning the rebels present a much bolder front than yesterday. At Fort Stevens, near the 7th Street Road the rebel lines were pressed back about half a mile. Skirmishing continued at 11 o'clock, and the rebels were still close pressed. A rebel prisoner taken reports the force in front of Washington at 40,000 men. The railroad between here and Baltimore has been effectually broken up by the rebels." Petehrijcho, July 1">.?The Washington Chronicle of the 13th has dispatches from Baltimore dated July 12. They report all quiet. The city was strongly defended. All business was closed ex cept the drinking shops. The Gil mores, the Holfmans, and other prominent secessionists had been arrested. No rebels are believed to be within 20 miles of Baltimore. The bridge over Gunpowder Creek was not badly burned; it will be repaired in a few days. Gen. Tyler was certainly either killed or captured. The Baltimore Clipper of Thursday evening says: "We have it certain that the troops levied by Couch for the emergency are gathering in front of the rebels, and that every day the latter linger in the State the greater their danger. In front of Washington there was skirmishing all day Tuesday." The rebels were being reinforced by the arrival of cavalry and infantry, coming in from the north side of the 7th Street Road. The Chronicle's reporter says that he " left the front with the conviction that the rebel hordes now thun?i.? ?i?oo nf tV?p "^5itinnrtl Ca ucniig in we ^uivd v* kuv >i??? ? pital have accepted this issue as the last resort, and have come with the determination to succeed in their undertakings and will not turn back without a thorough and lasting defeat." It was believed by some that the reikis were returning towards Harper's Ferry. Lincoln's wife and several meml?ers of the Yankee Congress rode to the front to watch the fight on Tuesday evening. Couch and Hunter are reported to have formed a junction at Frederick, although the rebels hold the passes in South Mountain. Railroad and telegraphic communication between Washing-1 ton and Baltimore was cut after twelve o'clock on Tuesday. Laurel and Point Branch Bridges, upon the Baltimore Railroad, were burned by the rebels on Tuesday, and the road was cut in five different places. The Chronicle says it will take some time to repair the railroad. Senator Sumner was on board the train aboard which Major-Gencral Franklin was captured, but not being recognized escaped. The Chronicle says that the crack of rebel rifles are everywhere heard in the environs of Washington* A letter from Nashville, Jlif^ 7, says that the final and decisive battle for Atlanta must shortly occur near that city, and adds: " Should Johnston stand - n l: Sherman will prouauiy cease m;uKiug and deliver battle." Owing to the interruption of telegraphic communication the Chronicle has no dispatches from any point north of Washington. Atlanta, .luly 14.?Two brigades of Yankee cavalry crossed the Chattahoochee trom Newman last night. They were met by Armstrong's brigade of cavalry and driven back. The bridges on which they had crossed were burned. There is no change in the state of affairs at the front. The enemy is flHi*g ccca-' sionally with artillery acr^aaytfi&Hyer.,. Richmond, July lA-^Tbemellowing was received at the War Office to-day from Mississippi: "We attacked a column of the enemy under Smith yesterday, on his march from Pontiac to Tupelo, causing him to burn many wagons. We attacked him at Tupelo, this morning, but could not force his position. The battle was a drawn one and lasted three hours. The following are editorial paragraphs and extracts from the papers t v. TWmnu ?On* hnndrrtl of the Van kee deserters now confined at the Castle of Richmond, were lately transferred to the Libby, and their status changed from that of deaerteni to that of prisoners of war. It is at laat the deliberate conviction of the Confederate Government that deserter* can never become of anjeserrice to us, either in the army or in the workshop, and that it ia better to get man for man by an exchange of them under the cartel. Sikge or Ciuslektox, 37'2i) Day.?All. was quiet Friday, except the continual bombardment of Sumter. 170 shots were fired at the fort by Batteries Gregg and Wagner, from 8 A. M. to ? P. M., Friday. The enemy were busy at work on Wagner Friday. There was considerable signalling among the fieet. There was no newa from the coast. Twelve vessels were lying in Stono. Senaiob Wiofall, of Texas, is with Johnston's army. Col. Harris, of Gen. Beauregard's stag is in cpeeling the defences of CMhrletton. In regard to General Sherman'/i movements the papers admit that He has received some compenpattaJpt the severe repulses lalHetcd on him at variefcxpotots, thereby persuading the people of the 3arth to believe that he was on the high road to complete and glorious triumph. But there is no Indication of an intention to abandon Atlanta without a struggle, whatever may be Inferred from the acts of citizens. The enemy has not effected a permanent lodgment on this side of the Chattahoochee. THE BEBEL ADVANCE ON WAIB0OTON. The news which we publish in this Extra comes from rebel sources, and it b evident that the items most favorable to us have been carefully sifted out from it. Even the extracts from Northern papers have been somewhat toned, it is clear, by the hands they have passed through. But under the worst construction we re<K? nnva us fsvnrfthls fof the ^04U tUt f UVH? ? mmmw y . ? nearer the rebel force gets to Wakington, and the more time it occupies in the raid, the surer is its destruction We consider the estimate of the rebel numbs* as exaggerated; and with the fi>it?&bf Hunter, Couch, Wallace and Warren, the troops in and immediately about the city, the Home Guard of Washington, and the formidable defences, there seems no possibility of any langer to the Capital. DESERTERS. The announcement contained in one of the above extracts from Charleston papers, that the Confedernte Government has decided to treat deserters :ts prisoners of war, and render them useful by making them subject to exchange, illustrates the faithlessness of the rebels, and should serve as a warning to any who may have contemplated one of the greatest crimes a soldier can commit. According to the i usages of war, il these deserters are returned they will be immediately shot! [Official] IIsaikjrauturjs Dw'rnf Tiir Sojtb, Hii.tos Ht vii S. C., July 12,1S64.
