The dispatches received from the seat of war yesterday, and which will be found in our columns to-day, are exciting aod important, McClellan with a portion of his his army has gained a brilliant victory over the rebels at Hagerstown, and at last accounts was vigorously following up his success with fresh troops, having already captured some eight thousand prisoners. The battle took place on Sunday last, the 14th inst., aud from the accounts, it seems to have been one of the severest engagement of the war. On the other hand, the,Federals have sustained a severe loss at Harper’s Ferry. The rebels appeared before the place on Friday Jast, in overwhelming force, and after three days hard fighting, the Federals, to the pumber of six or eight thousand, . surrendered. A cavalry force, of twentythree bundied, succeeded in cutting their way through the enemy’s lines and escaped. Our latest advices, at the time of writing this, are to the 16th inst. We understand tbat important intelligence has been receivover tha wires to-day, which will be pub lished below this evening. THURSDAY EV ae eee se ce eC EE i Sn os Too Fast.—The Sacramento Union, in its Tuesday’s ist ue, devotes its leading arAicle to an attack upon McClellan, censaring bim for the alleged slow movements of bis army, and for allowing Jackson and the rebel army to re-oross the Potomac and escape outof Maryland, The article seems to be founded upon what the writer hoped, or expected, would occur, rather than the actual facte, At the time it was published, we bad do intelligence in which any treliance could be placed, that Jackson had gone back into Virginia, or that any considerableportion of the rebel army had recrossed the Potomac. The writer seems to be among those who have imbibed a hatred against McClellan, and would rather hear of the defeat than a victory of the Federal army while under bis commrnd, oe ry Avotner OnsLavaut.—The Transcript of this morning, copying the ideas in Tuesday’s Union,makes another flerce onslaught upon McClellan. It asserts that he “is a slow, not to say stupid, military man;’’ and in support of this assertion it professes to “have the testimony of men who know bim and the appearance of his physiog.’’ Its information is perhaps derived from one of our Members of Congress, who, after his return, when asked his opinion of McClellan, said he was “a d—d son of » b—h.” The abrupt manner in which the Transcript’s article closes, may perhaps be accounted for by a “rumor’’ mentioned in the next column, Devensk oF MoCLELLAN.—We are glad to see that the Marysville Appeal, in opnosition to many of its political friends, comes outin defense of McClellan. It publishes the article from the New York World on the Peninsula campaign, and in some comments thereon it truthfully says: He retains the confidence of the Administration, which is better able to decide upon his merits and the truth or falsity of the charges against him than any distant journalist, whose knowledge of military affairs and movements is gained from meagre telegrams and one-sided statements of scribblers and speechifiers, who possess but little better sources of information. Suicioge.—A man named W, E. Hall, committed suicide at Los Angeles, on the evening of the 6th iust., by taking laudanam.

The action continued until after dark and terminated in our retaking the position with entire success, It has been a glorious victory. Ican’t tell whether the enemy withdrew durioug the night or appeared with increased force in the morning. Gen. Reno was killed during the engagement.” Harrispura, Sept, 14.--Heavy cannonading was heard this morning at Hanover, Green Castle and Chambersburg, proceeding, apparently, from an action between McClellan’s army and the rebels in the direction south from Hanover, The Tribune’s correspondent from Frederick of the 13th, says the most liberal estimates of the rebel strength are sixty-four thousand, including thirty thousand negroes. The enemy’s rear guard fought obstinately, contesting every inch of ground. Nearly all the Marylanders, only about five hupdred in number, who enlisted in the rebel army while it was in the vicinity have been taken prisoners. Our entire loss thus far is from 25 to 30; the enemy is said to have suffered severely from one or two of our cavalry charges, The captured rebels say that but few troops are left at Richmond, that city being little more than one vast bospital. They say further that Charleston bas been peaceably evacuated— large numbers of citizens became fugitives in distant States, and others having remaved beyond the limits, or outside of the range of the Yankees’ gunboats. The Times correspondent writing from Sugar Loaf mountains says: Large droves of cattle have been driven into Virginia from Maryland in the past few days. The people of Covington, Tifton county, Ky., signed a bond to protect the Union citizens, and sent word to the guerrillas that they will be bung if caught in that county. Wasutxoron, Sept. 15th,—A dispatch to Halleck from McClellan, sent thie morning, says he had just learned from Hooker who is in the advance that the enemy were maliquor sbops. All places, however, closed at four o’clock this afternoon, for drill. The rebels fell back ouly four miles from Florence and are supposed to be awaiting for reinforcements, Galiironis, Sept. 14.—From Western Virginia we have the following: A column of the the enemy, five thousand strong, attacked two regiments stationed at Fayette, on Wednesday. A desperate fight ensued and continued till dark, our forces cutting their way out with the loss of 100 killed, wounded and missing. Another column approached Gauly Bridge from Lewisburg road and succeeded in cutting off the 46th Ohio, and two companies of the 2d Virginia cavalry camped there; up to this time nothing bas been heard from them. Under these circumstances, Cololoel Lightburn, commanding the bridge, being threatened in the rear with an overs whelming force was compelled to evacuate, which was accomplished on Thursday. After destroying all the Government property be could not bring away be moved down to Kavawha, Elk river, near Charlestown, skirmishing the whole way; at Charlestown be made a stand Saturday morning, and a desperate battle ensued, lasting till near noon, The issue of the fight is not yet known as nothing has been beard from Lightburn since six last evening. Charlestown was burned by our forces. Lightburn brought an immense train of six hundred loaded wagons safely to Elk river, Considerable anxiety is felt for the safety of our troops there as well as at Point Pleasant and Gallipolis, The enemy is represented as 10,000 strong with a proportionate artillery force, The following later intelligence is from a Transcript extra, issued at noon tceday, WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—At elght o’clock Sunday morning McClellan’s army came fairly up with the enemy posted on the east side of blue ridge mountains stretching on a line north and south from Middleton on the Roverstown road to Jefferson on the Harper’s Ferry road. Our right, under Burnside rested on Middleton and our left wing under Franklin and Jefferson. A general engagement ensued, McClellan necessarily attacking the enemy in their advantageous position. The battle was obstinately contested until 9 o’clock in the evening by which time the enemy were gradually driven up South mountain and above its top into the valley on the other side. Burnside held the top of the mountain during the night. At nine o’clock yesterday morning the engagement was not renewed. Firing was heard at daylight yesterday morning by the telegraph operator at Point of Rocks, who says it was from the direction of Jefferson. Probably an attack by the enemy on Franklin’s division. Neither Sumner's corps nor Couch’s division were in the fight on Sunday,although they were doubtless supporting .Franklin yestertlay, as they were in position to do so on Sunday eve“—— he corps of Fitzjohn Porter passed through Frederick yesterday morning and would arrive at the battle fleld at noon. Sunday’s battle was fought principally with infantry and artillery. It was almost impossible to bring artillery into the field in full play. Capt. Gibbons, however, with much labor succeeded in getting a battery upon the mountain to the rightof the infantry and did good exeeution. FREDERICK, Sept. 16th.— We regret to announce the surrender of Harper’s Ferry with all our forces and stores to the enemy, at 9 A. M., er Lr Monday. Friday noon on our forees, from. she Maryland Heights, and skirmishing continued throughout the day, the ne, = being driven back with considerable loss. e attack was renewed Saturday, when the enemy approached in overwhelming force. Sunday noon the rebels apperaed in great force on London Heights. Tne Federals shelled them from point to point which they replied to. The cannonading continued throughout the day day morning wher the white flag was raised: . The rebels continticd firing three Quarters of an hour afterwards; 2,300 cavalry escaped on Sun-. A}jison Ranch. day night, cutting their way throtigh the enemy . Norambagua. ee and arrived at Greencastle, Pa., with little loss: . Burrou The balance of the troops, numbeting six to eight thousand with Gen, White’s command from Mattinsburg all surrendered om Monday afternoot, Intelligence from the front this morning, 16th, is most cheering, notwithstanding the bad news from Harper’s Ferry. Monday tnorning McClellan with his reserved fresh a pursued the enemy with destructive vigor. ‘The enemy took the road towards the . river at Harper’s Ferry and Sheppardville, McClellan following, shelling their rear guard. When the enemy madea stand our troops would charge driving them from point to point in great haste. The advantage gained yesterday is thought to be even more important than was supposed on Sunday. Drayton’s South Carolina brigade was entirely used up, either killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Howell Cobb was wounded and captured. We have captured 8,000 prisoners, with less . than the usual proportion of officers. MeClel+ lan continued pursuing them last evening and had sent to the rear for batteries. The enemy . are in a very precarious position, Procress or Entistuexts.—The New York correspondent of the Bulletin, in a . letter of Angust 19th, says: aetng through all the loyal States is pro. gressing splendidly. Volunteers under the new call are now pouring into Washington at the . rate of five regiments or more per day. Indeed so may have already arrived that McClellan . and Pope can receive 60,000 new troops by the equal num The class of only 20,000 liable to military duty, will have in the field by Monday next, no less than 12,000 armed men. If 60 days could be allowed, t! ie } second 300,000 volunteers could be had with. out resort to a draft; and as it is numerous localities will escape the draft altogether by volunteer enlistments. It is urged, and by some believed, that the Government will resort to the Napoleonic plan of providing substitutes during the coming draft; and this fs, the price for . a substitute will be fixed by the Government, and any man, bn paying $200 or $300 to the . Government, will be allowed to remain at . home. The amount paid willbe offered by the . Government asa bounty, which will fill the ranks of the armies immediately, Such an arrangement would be advisable, coupled with a privilege to the drafted man to find his own substitute if he prefers, ~~ Humpotpt County.—The assessed valuation of Humboldt county, for 18623 is $1,329,105, of which $820,725 is in real $291.705 in improvements, $716,765 in personal property, BO OPP AEE RR TT MARRIED.

The rebels fell back ouly four miles from Florence and are supposed to be awaiting for reinforcements, Galiironis, Sept. 14.—From Western Virginia we have the following: A column of the the enemy, five thousand strong, attacked two regiments stationed at Fayette, on Wednesday. A desperate fight ensued and continued till dark, our forces cutting their way out with the loss of 100 killed, wounded and missing. Another column approached Gauly Bridge from Lewisburg road and succeeded in cutting off the 46th Ohio, and two companies of the 2d Virginia cavalry camped there; up to this time nothing bas been heard from them. Under these circumstances, Cololoel Lightburn, commanding the bridge, being threatened in the rear with an overs whelming force was compelled to evacuate, which was accomplished on Thursday. After destroying all the Government property be could not bring away be moved down to Kavawha, Elk river, near Charlestown, skirmishing the whole way; at Charlestown be made a stand Saturday morning, and a desperate battle ensued, lasting till near noon, The issue of the fight is not yet known as nothing has been beard from Lightburn since six last evening. Charlestown was burned by our forces. Lightburn brought an immense train of six hundred loaded wagons safely to Elk river, Considerable anxiety is felt for the safety of our troops there as well as at Point Pleasant and Gallipolis, The enemy is represented as 10,000 strong with a proportionate artillery force, The following later intelligence is from a Transcript extra, issued at noon tceday, WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—At elght o’clock Sunday morning McClellan’s army came fairly up with the enemy posted on the east side of blue ridge mountains stretching on a line north and south from Middleton on the Roverstown road to Jefferson on the Harper’s Ferry road. Our right, under Burnside rested on Middleton and our left wing under Franklin and Jefferson. A general engagement ensued, McClellan necessarily attacking the enemy in their advantageous position. The battle was obstinately contested until 9 o’clock in the evening by which time the enemy were gradually driven up South mountain and above its top into the valley on the other side. Burnside held the top of the mountain during the night. At nine o’clock yesterday morning the engagement was not renewed. Firing was heard at daylight yesterday morning by the telegraph operator at Point of Rocks, who says it was from the direction of Jefferson. Probably an attack by the enemy on Franklin’s division. Neither Sumner's corps nor Couch’s division were in the fight on Sunday,although they were doubtless supporting .Franklin yestertlay, as they were in position to do so on Sunday eve“—— he corps of Fitzjohn Porter passed through Frederick yesterday morning and would arrive at the battle fleld at noon. Sunday’s battle was fought principally with infantry and artillery. It was almost impossible to bring artillery into the field in full play. Capt. Gibbons, however, with much labor succeeded in getting a battery upon the mountain to the rightof the infantry and did good exeeution. FREDERICK, Sept. 16th.— We regret to announce the surrender of Harper’s Ferry with all our forces and stores to the enemy, at 9 A. M., er Lr Monday. Friday noon on our forees, from. she Maryland Heights, and skirmishing continued throughout

the day, the ne, = being driven back with considerable loss. e attack was renewed Saturday, when the enemy approached in overwhelming force. Sunday noon the rebels apperaed in great force on London Heights. Tne Federals shelled them from point to point which they replied to. The cannonading continued throughout the day day morning wher the white flag was raised: . The rebels continticd firing three Quarters of an hour afterwards; 2,300 cavalry escaped on Sun-.

Burrou The balance of the troops, numbeting six to eight thousand with Gen, White’s command from Mattinsburg all surrendered om Monday afternoot, Intelligence from the front this morning, 16th, is most cheering, notwithstanding the bad news from Harper’s Ferry. Monday tnorning McClellan with his reserved fresh a pursued the enemy with destructive vigor. ‘The enemy took the road towards the . river at Harper’s Ferry and Sheppardville, McClellan following, shelling their rear guard. When the enemy madea stand our troops would charge driving them from point to point in great haste. The advantage gained yesterday is thought to be even more important than was supposed on Sunday. Drayton’s South Carolina brigade was entirely used up, either killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Howell Cobb was wounded and captured. We have captured 8,000 prisoners, with less . than the usual proportion of officers. MeClel+ lan continued pursuing them last evening and had sent to the rear for batteries. The enemy . are in a very precarious position, Procress or Entistuexts.—The New York correspondent of the Bulletin, in a . letter of Angust 19th, says: aetng through all the loyal States is pro. gressing splendidly. Volunteers under the new call are now pouring into Washington at the . rate of five regiments or more per day. Indeed so may have already arrived that McClellan . and Pope can receive 60,000 new troops by the equal num The class of only 20,000 liable to military duty, will have in the field by Monday next, no less than 12,000 armed men. If 60 days could be allowed, t! ie } second 300,000 volunteers could be had with. out resort to a draft; and as it is numerous localities will escape the draft altogether by volunteer enlistments. It is urged, and by some believed, that the Government will resort to the Napoleonic plan of providing substitutes during the coming draft; and this fs, the price for . a substitute will be fixed by the Government, and any man, bn paying $200 or $300 to the . Government, will be allowed to remain at . home. The amount paid willbe offered by the . Government asa bounty, which will fill the ranks of the armies immediately, Such an arrangement would be advisable, coupled with a privilege to the drafted man to find his own substitute if he prefers, ~~ Humpotpt County.—The assessed valuation of Humboldt county, for 18623 is $1,329,105, of which $820,725 is in real $291.705 in improvements, $716,765 in personal property, BO OPP AEE RR TT MARRIED.
