S. PRICE ONE CENT. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 19, 1863. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

The Army Again In Motion Sltlrmisli-mg at Raccoon Ford. We find the following ia the Washington Chronicle: Ctjlpeper, September 17. The whole army was. unexpectedly in motion yesterday, and is now in transitu. General Meade can get a large army under way with greater ease and less confusion than any general I know.

Assistant Quartermaster Page was exceedingly active in getting the long Interminable trains along smoothly, and I could not help wondering if all quartermasters worked so hard when the army was in motion. Our advance will not have to rest with such caution on this side of the Rapidan. For two days they had to live without a fire, as it attracted the enemy's shells, and they did not wish to show tneir weakness. Kiip-iLrick has made several feints to cross the Rapidan, but it was soon made evident he could not Uje a minute on the other side. Yesterday, the rebels, who seem to be In doubt about the strength and.

sincerity of the movement, crossed the river near Raccoon Ford, and drove the one hundred and fifty men we had there away. But two regiments of our cavalry, armed with revolving rifles, dismounted and drove them back in confusion. We lost about thirty in this affair. We have a story in town this (Thursday) morning that the rebels crossed at Raccoon Ford in strong force, and captured over one hundred of some New York regiment of ior subject to an annuity ef -one cent. Charged with Being Confederate Mail Cr Tier and Blockade Runner.

Yesterday aman named H. F. Stuart was arraigned before' A Col. Fish, charged with being a blockade nm- ner and a Confederate mall carrier. Ho wa- arrested several days since by the officers of the gunboat Hercules, while he was attempt- ing to get into Virginia by a boat, ice.

At the time he was taken a number of addressed to certain military men, and a number addressed to citizens in the Soath, were found upon his person. Ho was formerly a resident of Norwich, Connecticut. He was released by Col. Fish on his parole of honor, to appear and answer at an examination of his case to-day before the provost marshal. Accidents.

On Thursday evening a colored woman named Demby, living at 110 Bethel street, while hanging out clothes to dry, on the roof of her residence, three stories high, slipped and fell to the ground. She was severely injured internally, but on examination by Dr. Dwinelle, no bones were found to be broken. She made a narrow escape with her life. On the same afternoon a lad named Ed-watd Hoyt fell from the top of a freight car, which was passing along Eastern avenue, near Broadway, lighting upon his head.

Ho was picked up insensible, and it was about four hours before consciousness returned. He was yesterday doing well, under the car of Dr. Dwinelle. Drowned. About two o'clock yesterday morning a man named James Hawes, a.

teacher, from Accomac county, overboard from the sloop Evans, at Pratt street wharf, and drowned before assistance could be rendered him. His body was shortly after recovered, and Coroner Greentree called to hold an inquest, when the jury rendered a verdict of accidental drownin g. He was unmarried, and 35 years of age. His remains were taken to London Park Cemetery. Death of a Baltimorean.

Yesterday morning' eighteen Confederate prisoners were brought to this city from Harper's Ferry. They were said to be a portion, of White's Cavalry.

Three of them had certificates from the provost marshal at Charlestown, that they had taken the oath of allegiance. These were released by Col. Fish; the others were; sent to Fort McHenry. Launch Postponed. The launch of the steam revenue cutter, which was expected to have taken place to-day, has been postponed, at the direction of Mr.

It is bow intimated that it will take place on Tuesday next. Tribute of Respect.

The following are further extracts from late Richmond papers: the tight at orange cotjrt hotjsh. Special to the Richmond Enquirer of 14th. Orange Court House, Sept. 14. The fight at Brandy Station on Sunday last lasted until sunset.

Our cavalry were driven back four miles this side of Culpeper Court House, Gen. Stuart losing two pieces of horse artillery. Twenty-live prisoners, taken during the engagement, were started for Richmond to-day. Capt. Pratt, of the Ninth Virginia Cavalry, was wounded in the hand.

Orange C. Sept. 14, P. M. The enemy have advanced with cavalry, artillery and seme infantry to Rapidan.

Skirmishing has been going on all day between the cavalry and sharpshooters. Our artillery shelled the enemy on tbe othor side of the Rapidan bridge this evening, but they did not respond. An artillery duel of some two hours' length took place this evening near Raccoon Ford. The enemy have as yet made no effort to cross the Rapidan. One of the artillery pieces captured by the enemy yesterday Was the same captured by us at Winchester, of the Yankee Baltimore Battery.

Lieutenant John McNulty, of Graf-fin's artillery, and a majority of hia detachment, were captured with it. The prisoners sent to Richmond to-day were captured by the Ninth Virginia cavalry, in a charge made by them yesterday. The loss in the Thirteenth Virginia cavalry yesterday amounted to twelve men, one of whom was killed private Taylor, of Nanse-mond county. Among the wounded are Lieutenant Powell, of company Lieut. Alexander, of Cobb's legion, leg fractured; Lieut.

McDearmon, of- Cobb's legion, severely; and Captain L. B. Coyner, of Seventh Virginia cavalry. About twenty five of our men, wounded in yesterday's fight, have been brought here. A general engagement may occur here to-morrow.

FROM GENERAL LEE'S ARMY. From the Richmond Examiner of the 16th. Passengers by last evening's Central train brought intelligence of active movements in General Lee's army, and also in that of the enemy, who were in force beyond the Rapidan. General Lee's forces were in line of battle the whole of yesterday, between Orange Court-House and Rapidan, and manoeuvring to bring on an engagement. The enemy were reluctant to take up the gauntlet, and fell, back upon every indication of an' advance of the Confederate troops.

A little sprinkle of firing along the front picket lines was the only indication they gave of a willingness to fight. If Meade was in command, it was plainly his object not to bring on a general battle, but by setting our corps in motion, to ascertain the number of our troops and their positions. The enemy had made no determined effort to cross the river up to noon. By scouts, who went within the enemy' lines and returned, it has been ascertained that the Yankees had cooked five days' rations, showing that the movement was one that contemplated either a march or a battle. EHOK FREDERICKSBURG.

The old 'burg promises to become again a point of military interest. Passengers by yesterday's train from Hamilton's Crossing brought a report that two corps of Meade's army were on the opposite side of the river, and preparing to cross, or, at least, to make tbe attempt. Considerable picket skirmishing took place Saturday night and Sunday morning. MISCELLANEOUS. P.

H. Mahony, of tbe 12th Massachusetts regiment, was shot and killed in attempting to escape from Belle Island, at Richmond. Mrs. Clem White, of Selma, a sister of Mrs. Abraham Lineoln, recently presented a Confederate Jack to the gunboat Huntsville, at Mobile.

Thomas McDonald, who was w'ounded in an affray at the house of Mrs. Brannan, at the corner of Ross street and Morris alley, on the rooming of the 1st instant, died at two o'-c-lcck yesterday morning at his residence, No.

1 Constitution street. Mrs. Brannan, Sergeant Vansant and policemen Edwards were last night summoned by Coroner Green-tree before a jury of inquest, and it appeared from the testimony of Mrs. B. that the deceased, with Dennis Kallaher, Michael Farrell and Patrick Roche, were at her house, nd while drinking and playing cards a quarrel originated between McDonald and Kallaher and Farrell.

They came to blows, and in the conflict McD. was stabbed. The testimony of policeman Edwards was, ihatwhenhe entered the house where the fracas occurred he saw one of the assailants with a knife in his hand, and he attempted to stab him with it, but he knocked it from bis hand and took possession of it. Dr. Green-tree testified that he was called to attend McDonald, and fonnd on him seven wounds, two of which were on the neck and five were on the chest and stomach.

One on the right side of the chest penetrated the lung, so that the air passed through the wound. He closed up the wounds, and Dr. Winslow and Prof. Smith were subsequently called in consultation. Dr.

G. attended deceased up to the time of his death, and on Thursday told him to prepare for the worst, as he was very ill and would probably die. McDonald then told him that both Kallaher and Farrell stabbed him, but that Patrick Roche had nothing to do with it, not having participated in the assault made upon him. He died at two o'clock yesterday morning, and yesterday afternoon Dr. Murdock, with Dr.

made a pest-rcortem examination. The right lung was found to have been penetrated, and it adhered to the wall of the chest. Both lungs were much suffused, as was also the pericardium, or sack containing the heart. Upon the testimony tbe jury rendered a verdict "that Thomas McDonald came to his death from wounds inflicted by a knife or knives in the bands of Dennis Kallcher and Michael Farrell, cn the morning of the first day of September." McDonald was unmarried and in the 23d yearof his age. He was lor seme time employed on one of the gun boats, and had but recently arrived in this eity.

Kallaher, Farrell and Roche were arrested at the time and have since been confined in prison. Rain Storm. Before daylight yesterday morning the rain began to fall and it continued with little intermission until afternoon. At times the rain was very heavy, so much so that the streets were pretty well cleaned. The wind was also high from the northeast, and it was generally thought that it was tbe equinoctial storm.

Shortly after noon, however, the wind changed to the southwest, the rain ceased and the clouds scattered. The afternoon was delightful, though the appearance of the clouds above the horizon indicated that the equinox will not pass without more storm and rain. The temperature grew much cooler in the evening, the mercury having gone down from seventy-one to sixty-eight degrees in the Shade. Considerable damage was done in various parts of the city by the blowing down of trees, fences, In one case, a large three-story brick house in the course of erection by Mr. J.

Black, at the corner of Orleans and Castle streets, was nearly destroyed, both gable ends being prostrated. The house had not been roofed in. We have heard of no damage in the bay or river. Persons from the country represent the rain and wind as having been very heavy and destructive-to the trees. On the road to Long Green, Baltimore county, at one point a large tree was blown down, which falling across the telegraph wires, broke them down.

A press dispatch reports the whole Army of the Potomac in motion on Wednesday and Thursday. Th cavalry haTe made several attempts to cross theRapidan, but the Confederates appeared in such strength that it was evident that a position could mot be held even if a crossing was effected. The Confederates on "Wednesday had a temporary success at Raccoon Ford, they there crossing a force to the north bank of the river and drove the Federal troops frem their position, but were in turn driven back across the river.

The Federal 1gs3 in this affair was about thirty. The indications are that Gen. Meade's passage of the river will be stubbornly contested. A semi-official dispatch from headquarters says that nothing of importance occurred yesterday, and that the Federal position was unchanged. Richmond papers of Wednesday state that General Lee's army was in line of battle on Tuesday, between Orange Court-House and the Rapidan, and ready for a general engagement.

On Thursday morning, from two to four hundred Confederate cavalry crossed the Potomac near the mouth of Muddy Creek, and moved towards the camp of the Federal cavalry two miles distant. Gen. Heintzle-man, who was in the neighborhood, headed a force and pursued them to near Edward's Ferry, where they recrossed into Virginia, committing no depredations. rAn arrival at New York brings direct advices from Charleston to Tuesday. The Federal forces were 'still in possession of Morris Island.

Battery Gregg has been placed in working trim, and occasionally rired shot and shell into Fort Moultrie, bat. with what effect is not known. Late Nashville papers state that passengers from Stevenson report a reverie to leceral Thomas's corps, near Lafayette, be tween Trenton and Dalton, Ga. The report probably relates to the engagement of Neg-ley's division of that corps, announced some days since. Confederate rumors from Bragg's army state that after being driven by Rosecrans, General Bragg was largely reinforced by Johnston, and was in turn driving back Rosecrans.

All of Gen. Johnston's cavalry are reported to have joined Bragg with the design of destroying Rosecrans's communications. The War Department has received a dispatch stating that Little Rock, the capital of the State of Arkansas, was occupied by the Federal forces on the 10th inst. without fighting or loss of any consequence. The Confederates under Gen.

Price are rapidly retreating, pursued by the Federal forces. Dispatches received at headquarters, St. Louis, from the Southwest, report that a body of Kansas cavalry attacked the enemy's rear guard on the 1st eight miles south of Fort Smith, killing and wounding twenty, and taking fortv prisoners, with a loss on the Federal side of two killed and eight wounded. A camp of hostile Indians was attacked and destroyed in the western part ef Kansas on the 3d inst. Over one hnndred of the warriors were killed.

Morris became the purchaser, so that the Institution will be conducted under the same auspices as heretofore. Search for Arms. On the 10th instant, some persons, acting under military authority, made a search of the dwelling on the estate of John Ridgely, of Hampton, near this place, for concealed arms, as is supposed. None were found but some old worthless relics. A silk flag, which had been procured for the Towson Horse Guards in 1861, but neverpre-sented to the company, was fonnd and taken.

Accident. On the lith instant, Mr. Dennis M. Matthews, of Dulacy's Valley, in this county, was injured quite severely by the accidental discharge of a pistol in his own hands. He was abuut putting th pistol in bis pantaloons pocket, when it went the ball taking effect in his abdomen, Inflicting a painful, but fortunately not a serious injury.

Washington, September 18. A letter from the Army of the Potomac, received here to-Light, says that Captain Hart, of the Fourth New York Cavalry, was killed by rebels, who had secreted themselves in some thick underwood, on Wednesday morning, and fiied into a party of our men who were engaged in digging rifle-pits. A musket ball pierced the captain's head. His body was buried at Culpeper. A captain of the Seventh Michigan Cavalry was wounded in the right arm below the elbow by a shell.

Fourteen others were wounded. The reports as to the strength of the enemy on the other side of the Rapidan are numerous and conflicting. A telegram from headquarters, dated today, says that nothing of importance has oc curred to-day, and that our position on the Rapidan remains unchanged. "White's Rebel Cavalry in Maryland They are Driven Across the River "Without Doing any Damage. Washington, September IS.

A letter from Darnestown, dated to-day, says that early yesterday moraing from two to four hnndred rebel cavalry, said to be a portion of "White's command, crossed the Potomac between Nails Branch and Muddy Creek, and started towards the cross roads, two miles from the river, where there has been a rendezvous of the "Scott's 900." General Heintzelman, who had arrived there on a tour of inspection, pursued them up the tow-path of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, pressing tbem so hard that they were compelled to recross the river below Edward's Ferrv. It is certain that the rebels committed no depredations on the Maryland side, either for want of time or unless their object was only to seize a few horses which they discovered on the line of the canal. The probability is that they concentrated and started from the vicinity of Darnesville, be fore making their excursion to this side of tne river. Lee Gone South Movements or the Rebel Army.

TlieFfgltt at CtUpeper Additional Par tlcuiars. The Washington Star of last evening ha3 the following additional particulars of the fight at Culpeper on Sunday last: At the Culpeper place of W. D. Wallach, where the Union light a-tillery took a position, the engagement became warm. The rebels shelled the house to drive our cavalry out beyond the protection of the various buildings there, while the Unionists shelled the town, in the edge of which, near tha former military academy, the rebels had three gnus in position.

The portion of the family of Mr. Wallach then remaining in Cul peper were forced to take refuge in the cellar, into which one shell came, which, fortunately, did not explode; and thus the eight females and children, near whom it struck, providentially escaped unharmed. This is the fourth engagement that has taken place, in part, on Mr. Wallach's farm since the beginning of the war. By a skillfal movement, flanked the rebel artillery on their left and charged gallantly down upon them, capturing three pieces and about a hundred prisoners, including two or three officers.

Their cavalry then fled rapid ly for the Rapidan river. On their way some ot tnem occupiea tne residence or air. uurtis. and fired rifles from the upper windows, which made it necessary to shell the house, resulting in the death of Mr. Curtis, his wife and one daughter, another female of the family beisg wounded.

Skirmishing continued on theRapidan on Monday and Tuesday, be tween our cavalry and the rebel cavalry, ar tillery and infantry. On Wednesday morning the rebels recross ed the Rapidan, showing a force of about two divisions. Our cavalry fell back a few miles, nntil infantry of the 1st army corps (Gen. "Warren) came they retreated over the river again, pursued by our forces. In the affair of that dav both sides lost per haps fifty in killed and wounded.

On Wednesday night the Union line ex tended from Stevensbnrg through Culpeper Court-House to the Stone Mountain House, four miles north of the Court-House. Yes terday morning this line was changed, the army having advanced to closer proximity to the Kamdan river, where the rebel corns of A. P. Hill and Ewell are belived to ba no strongly fortified. The probability of a serious engagemen last evening or to-day was strong yesterday morning.

Gen, Lee's Army, The correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune discredits the reports that Gen. Lee's army had been weakened, by portions of it having been sent further South. The correspondent adds: According to the most accredited version, supported by unmistakable evidences, Gen.

ue recent movement was not produced by ne cismemnerment or nis army, but was a traieeical combination calculated to throw a portion of his forces on the flaik and reir ul Gen. Meade, in case the latter should eave his position and advance far enough to -e caught in the trap set for him by the wily rebel leader. The rumor of the weakening of his forces the departure of Longstreet was, it is av sorted, purposely spread by deserters and others in order to deceive tte Unionists as to his real inten ions.andto induce Gen. Meade to advance to a position where he could be fought to greater advantage. Anotner circumstance calculated to give still more strength to this opinion is that Gen.

Bragg, having ben joined by Johnston and Bnckner, is supposed to be stronc enough I to hold in check any force which Rosecrans or linrnside bring against him. Br gg, it is asserted, has now nearly fifty thousand men, who are hourly increased by additional recruits, and by the impressment of the slaves into the ranks of his army, in which they are used as sappers, miners and servants. But what more than anything else add3 to Bragg's strength is the facility he has to fall back into the interior, and thus deprive the Unir.n armies of the assistance of the great water-courses through which they carry most of their provisions and ammunition of wr. 11 it be true that Bragg has 50.000 men and the means of escaping the Union armies, at least for a time, then he is not in any pressing want of reinforcements; while the deple tion oi iiee army ana tne giving up ot ni3 best lieutenant would at this moment tnrow consternation into his ranks, weaken his prestige, and considerably lesssen his power of action for the defensive as well as the offensive. These considerations, supported by trust worthy testimomy, cause professional men to donbt whether Lee's forces are not now as complete as they ever that it would be inconsiderate to ventnre a battle upon the faith that his ranks have been depleted.

From tne Lower Potomac. Last night's "Washington Star says: The Wyandank, Acting Ensign Brice. ar rived yesterday afternoon from the Lower Potomac. It having bean reported that the rebels had taken possession of their old batteries at Mathias' Point, the Wyandank on the way up yesterday stopped and shelled tne dui no reneis snowea tnemseives. On the King George county shore, opposite to Maryland Point, a party of rebel cavalry, nnmbsrii thirty or forty men, were discov ered, but berore getting the range of them they skedaddled.

A report was prevalent down th3 river that the crew of the Merrimac, which captured the Satellite and Reliance, were in Cone river with boats, and that they were waiting an opportunity to capture the guard-boat at Piney Point, (the mortar schooner Sophrc-nia.) Day before yesterday the Fuchsia, Acting Master Street, went in to reconnoiter Cone river, but on account of the narrowness of the stream coula proceed up but a short distance. Information was, howaver, ob tained to cause the officers to attach some weight to the information that a rebel party of the nature designated are lurking in that vicinity. Increased Railroad Facilities. Representatives of railroad interests say the construction of the bridge over the Susquehanna is now progressing vigorously. The entire length will be thirty-five hundred feet.

The bridge will cost about a million of dollars.
