Beside the losses of (he troops especially belonging to this military department, Bickctl's division of Warren's corps, which had been sent from tire Army ot the Potomac and participated in the battle, is said to have lost heavily. At a late hour on Sunday evening, what the Baltimore American called "the remnant of Gen.

Wallace's reached the city of Baltimore. The excitement, says the Gazelle of Monday, Is despatch of the Secretary of War addressed to General Dix, which reached the city about one yesterday morning, announcing a disaster to Gen. Wallace, and that he was repeating to Baltimore, caused considerable excitement and uneasiness. The bells in various parts of the city were rung, and soon a great many citizens were aroused, and the work of organizing the Union leagues and Union citizens into companies commented, yearly all the able bodied horses in the city were seized by order of the military authorities during Saturday and Sunday, and to such an extent was this carried, that several funerals, hich were to have taken place on Sunday, had to he postponed until Monday. All negroes who were able to work, wbocould found, were on Sunday enrolled at the various station bouses nnd ordered to report themselves on Monday morning, to work on the fortifications.

The Baltimore Gazette of the 11th says that a considerable number of the members of the State Constitutional Convention were in the city on Sunday, the 101 nnd were iu quite a quandary as to what course they would pursue, with regard to the Convention, in view of the threatening aspect of affairs. Some were anxious to go to Philadelphia, while others insisted that It was the duty of every member to go to Annapolis, and meet in pursuance of adjournment, and then adjourn over for a lime, and take a boat and leave the city. THE INVASION. Great excitement was caused in our neighborhood on Sunday afternoon last, by a report that the Confederates were ot Cockeysv-ille, in Baltimore county, and later in ihe evening they were reported to heat Towsontown, and marching in the direction of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad. These reports seemed to be verified by the largo number of horses which were being taken northward out of their reach.

We are informed that on Monday morning, a force numbering about 150 men, said to be commanded by Major Harry Gilmor, made their appearance at Hotel, on the Harford Turnpike, about eight miles from this While in (his neighborhood a party of them went to the house of Mr. Tshmael Hay, for the purpose of taking down a flag, nnd it is said that one of them, a man named Fields, was shot nnd severely wounded by Mr. Day. Upon hearing tbit, the officer in command gave orders (or Ihe destruction of Mr. property, and bis house and barn were accordingly burned.

After leaving the turnpike, they proceeded to Magnolia, where, we learn, they captured and burned three trains of cars, did some injury to the. railroad and telegraph, and burned the warehouse. They also set fire to Gunpowder bridge and a portion of it was destroyed. On one of the trains we understand they captured Major General Franklin, together ith some other officers. The General was in citizen's dress, and is said to have been -pointed out by a lady.

The oniy other depredation committed by them was (be capture of a horse and carriage from Mr. George W. Hall. They left Magnolia during Monday afternoon, having been occupied some five or six hours in their work of destruction. Tbs Reported Fight in Bei, great cavalry fight in Be!

I The foreign mails by bring additional particulars of the destruction of the Alabama, including Captain report of the fight, communicated to the London Timet by the Confederate agent Mason as follows LETTER FROM JOHN M. MASON. To the Editor of the Tinea Sir I send herewith a copy of the official report of Capt.

I avail myself of the occasion to note one or two inaccuracies of Ihe letter of your correspondent, dated at Southampton on Monday and published in the Times of Tuesday The crew of the Alabama ia there stated at one hundred and fifty men.

M. Mason. 24 Upper Seymour street, June 22. CAPTAIN REPORT. June 21,1864 I have the honor to inform yon that, in accordance with my intention, as previously announced to you, I steamed out of the harbor of Cherbourg between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the 19th of June, for the purpose of engaging the steamer Kearsage, which had beeh lying off and on the port for several days previously.

After clearing the harbor we descried the enemy with bis head off shore, at a distance of about 7 miles. We were three quarters of an hour in coming up with bitn. I had previously pivoted my guns to starboard, and made all my preparations for engaging the enemy on that side. When within about a mile and a quarter of the enemy ha suddenly wheeled, and bringing bis beau in shore, presented his starboard battery to me. By this time we were distant about oue mile from each other, when I opened ou tiim with solid shot, to which he replied in a few minutes, and the engagement became active on both sides.

enemy now pressed under a full head of steam, and to prevent our passing each other too speedily, and to keep our respective broadsides bearing, it became necssary to fight iu a circle, the two ships steaming around a common ccutre, and preserving a range from each other of'from a quarter to a half a mile. When we got within good shell range we opened upt him with shell. Some ton or fifteen minutes after the commencement of the action our spanker gaff was shot away, and our ensign came down by the tun. This was immediately replaced by another at the mizzenmast head. The firing now became very hot, and the shot and shell soon began to tell upon our bull, knocking down, killing and disabling a number of men in different parts of the ship.

that our shell, though apparently exploding against the sides, were doing him but little damage, I returned to solid shot firing, and from that time onward alternated with shot and shell. the lapse of about an hour and ten minutes our ship was ascertained to be in a sinking condition, the shells having exploded in our sides and between decks, opening large apertures, through which the water rushed with great For some few minutes I had hopes of being able to reach the French coast, for which purpose I gave the ship all steam, and set such of the fore and aft sails as were available. The ship filled so rapidly, however, that before we had made much progress the fires were extinguished in the furnaces, and we were evidently on the point of sinking. I now hauled down my colors, to prevent the further of life, amf despatched a boat to inform the enemy of our condition. we were now but four hundred yards from each ether, the enemy fired upon me five times after my colors had boen struck.

It is charitable to suppose that a ship of war of a Christian nation could not have done (his now turned all our exertions towards saving the wounded and such of the boys of the ship who were unable to swim. These were deposited in my quarter-boats, the only boats remaining to me, the waist boats having been torn to pieces. twenty minutes after my furnace Gres bad been extinguished, aud the ship being on the point of settling, every man, in obedience to a previous order which had been given the crew, jumped overboard and endeavored to save himself. was no appearance of any boat coming to me from the enemy alter my ship went down. Fortunately, however, the steam yacht Deerhound, owned by gentleman of Lancashire, England, Mr.

John Lancaster, who was himself on board, steamed up iu the midst of my drowning men and rescued a number of both officers aud men from the water. I was fortunate enough myself thus to escape to the shelter of the neutral flag, together with about forty others, all told. this time the Kearsage sent one, and then, tardily, another boat. you will find lists of the killed and wounded, and of those who were pinked up by the Deerhound the remainder, there is reason to hope, wars picked up by the enemy and by a couple of French pilot boats, which were also fortunately near the scene of action. the end of the engagement it was discovered by those of our officers who went alongside the ship with the wounded that her midship section on both sides Was throughly iroucoated this having been done wiUi outdo constructed for the purpose, plsced je peodiouUrly from I the rail to the edge, the whole i covered over by a thin outer planking.

Under the head of Faith and an Apostate the Presbyterian deals some terrible blows at the head of that portion of the clergymen of the United States who have forgotton the gospel and turned their pulpits into political rostrums Some of them have become such ardent politicians that they sot themselves as oracles, and none dare dispute thoir dictation.

It is a fitting rebuke for such men as Yankee of University of Pennsylvania, who endeavored to turn the recent Convention of the Episcopal Church at Pittsburg into an Abolition The Presbyterian says: fondly thought that, poised upon the truth, animated by the grace, and obliged by the commands of her glorious Head, the Church uld have proved a bulwark against the rushing tide of. evil. Wo thought she would be an oasis in the desert, where weary travellers might refresh themselves we thought she would bo an island in the stormy sea, where ship wrecked mariners might find safety and shelter. We did not expect to Lear in her solemn Assemblies the voice of human anger, much less of satanic malice. We believed that in the hour of civil commotion, when States were sundered and armies met in the shock of battle, she would lift up holy hands without wrath and doubting, and implore her Master to drop from Htaven the olive branch of peace; that she would gather her sons and daughters about her and say to them, children, love one that she would lay one hand upon Ephraim and the other upon Manassah, and bless them We need not say how sadly we have been disappointed.

In spite of her boasted conservatism and fidelity to principle, tills once venerated body, at one bound, broke every bond of truth and charity, in effect renounced her allegiance to her great Head, and allied herself with his arch-enemy.

Her most widely circulated newspaper, that used to howl so frantically whenever an Episcopalian was appointed to a chaplaincy in the army or navy, is now the whining slave of the power that lords it over heritage, and is rejected in disgust by Chris- i tian and oven loyal men, on the ground that it is no longer a religious Her oldest quarterly Review now receives its inspiration from disappointed military commanders, who failiflg of success in the field, have become the i of absurd politics and impracticable campaigns. Her clergy in i many instances vie with each other, not in i fidelity to God and the soul of men, but in devotion to party and in zeal for the car- i uage of battle. Amid this furious babble of politics and i war, we look in vain for the Magna Charta i of the Annunciation, to God in i the highest; Ou earth peace, good will to It is appalling to see the Church i of God spue from her rnouTh the Gospel of i peace, and bawl herself hoarse in stimula- i ting the ferocious passions of men, and in canonizing the red-handed fiend of the bat- i tie-field.

Where is her former hatred of Abolitionism, now that she is causing her i 1 own children to pass through the fire of i Moloch, and is gloating over the prospect i of servile insurrection What shall we say of the distinguished clergymen, who so loudly applauded Mr. Van Dyke's sermon on that subject, and who nuw lift up their bunds and roll their eyes in pious horror at the sin of slavery Shall we say us toe world says them, that they i have either been practising a gross deception all thoir lives, or are now basely yield ing to unmanly fear?

Exciting Times in Frederick.

Sun lay, the 3d of July, was un exciting day in Frederick. At un early hour information reached the military authorities that the Rebels, in strung numbers, had made their appearance iu the vicinity of Martinsburg, and that after severe figbtiog at Leetown and Martinsburg, the Federal forces under Gen. Sigel, were outflanked by vastly superior numbers and rapidly falling back. Immediately upon the receipt of this intelligence orders wore issue! to pack up ie cunniis ary at this post, and a large numbered" nn-n, white and black, were pressed into service and succeeded in placing all the stores in safety on tha railroad cars by about diyight ou the morning of the 4th. On the evening of the 3d, some four or five hundred of the One Hundred men from Ohio arrived from Ferry, who confirmed previous reports, aud stated that Martinsburg bad falleu into the hands of the Rebels.

A large number of refugees from that section made their appearance in our midst, at the same time. About 11 A. a despatch from Gen. Max. Webber, at Ferry, was received by the Provost Marshal at this place, stating that the Union forces were retiring, and it was believed that the Rebels wore moving in the direction of Williamsport.

At 12, orders were issued for the removal of the sick and wounded from the Hospital iu this place. About this time reports were current that, the Rebels were crossing the Potomac river at Noland a Ferry and tha Point of Rocks, that the latter place had been destroyed by them, that the United States mail train which left this place at 10 o'clock Ferry, had been fired into, and that the Rebels would probably pay us a visit before the next morning. From this hour all was bustlo and excitement. Apprehending a longer stay of the Rebels than would be agreeable, and fearing a scarcity of provisions and consequent high prices, flour and grocery merchants wore kept quite busy during the remainder of the day by our citizens, and the demand for Lam, bacon, fish, fiour, salt, sugar, tea, molasses, was quite brisk. Squads of men, with their horses and wagons, some accompanied by their women and children and servants, could be seen passing through our streets at almost any moment, fleeing to a more secure place.

On the evening of the 4th it was stated i that Col. W. P. Maulsby, of the Ist Regi- 1 incut of P. B.

Volunteers, had been fighting the enemy at Sliephcrdstown, and later intelligence reported that all the Union forces were in possession of Maryland Heights, which would be held until reinforcements could arrive. Ou the morning of the sth un ambulance train containing about thirty Union soldiers who were wounded at Leetown, arrived and enured the Hospital. An immense train of wa- I gons also made their appearance about, the same time, and all day long mounted and unmounted soldiers came straggling into and through our city. The passenger train of ears from Baltimore, due on Monday evening at 8 did not arrive until 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning. The mail train came through from Sandy Hook to this place on Tuesday evening and the trains between this place and Baltimore ate still running.

On Tuesday evening a report was cur- rent that the Rebel forco, estimated at 1 from thirty to forty thousand, was crossing Maryland, near sixteen allies distant from this place, en route for Pennsylvania, and that bol pickets had been seen near The same evening a gentleman residing at Keedys- ville, near Antietam battle-ground, arriv- ed with his cattle and horses, and that the Rebels were in jlv't vicinity in large num- and seiz ng all the horses and cattle on their track. A fight was reported the same day with the Rebels, some locating it above Jaff rson and others above Middletown in this country. Heavy cannon- ading was beard here dining the day. About 5 on Tuesday afternoon the large Federal wagon train which arrived here on the previous night an morning, started Ncr hwardly whither it bad been ordeied. On Wednesday morning, the 6tb instant, a report was in circulation that about thirty Rebel cavalry were seen on the previous evening at Harm's four miles west of this city, but that they soon retired again.

The conventions have been hard at nominating, from momentary, enthusiasm 1 aud impulsive admiration, certain gentlemen worthy aud unworthy. Spontatic- oua acclamation, sudden, instantaneous, and uupreconceivcd ncion have characterized the nominations.

is no doubt about these things Coming together from distant portions of the country, bent only upon discharging the important trusts devolving upon them, tha delegates have done, with eminent wisdom and marvelous executive ability, exactly what they were told to do some six or eight months ag Not for one moment did Mr. Lincoln dream of his nomination. Calmly intrenched in the cuituinud silence uf the While House, he felt no premonition of the turbulent enthusiasm with which the Baltimore Convention would hail his name. Perhaps he bad no knowledge of the Baltimore If ho he i icidcntally snrnii cH ths it might nominate some worthy citizen of Peoria, or some obscure but respectable man, suddenly extruded, by universal acclaim, from the stagnant regions of New Certainly, he never dreamed of renomiuation. Indued, be was the last to apprehend it after it had become a fait acctm- Innocence like this is marvelous.

Po- litieians like Mr. Lincoln arc rare. It is 1 refreshing to dwell upon such a one that was supposed to have perished with the end of the Golden Ago of the Immaculate. We trust that Mr. Lincolu actually cherishes no doubt of his renoini- 1 nation.

It may have sounded to him gmmwoat like a vapid rumor, coming, ns I it did, so unexpected. If we trust erroneously, let him disabuse himself at once of the doubt. Honestly, we believe that 1 there is no rational ground for its iodul- 1 gence. The grave simplicity which veteran po- 1 litieians affect about the time that uomi- 1 Dating conventions assemble, is remarks ble 4 Sodden developments of modesty 1 occur, dlffidenoj ensues, and the odor of self sacrificing sanctity is evolved. Ap- unconscious of the fact that they are to bj nominated by delegates whom 1 ttiey have attached to themselves by unworthy blandishments and proffers of fu- 1 lure emolument; seeming to ignore the possibility that the conventions which they have created may do what they have been 1 sent to do, and vote ns they have been Btt)t to vote; these, delightful specimens of innocence would have the foolish old Publi: dieve that they were in nowise cognizant of the honors proposed for them, until the nevspaptis an 1 committee-letters conveyed to (hem a literal notification.

1 All such assumptions arc superfluous. I The science of wire-pulling is too thor- 1 oughly understood by the people at largo, 1 to admit uf a successful practice of this 1 confidence-game upon them. Toey hold the pietty farce in its proper estimation I knowing that the spontaneity with which 1 some nominations arc made, was drafted 1 i out long before by the nominee himself, contracted lor, and paid for They know that those political enthusiasms, these nominations by acclaim, these sudden im- I pulsivc movements, which are referred to 1 warm admiration, patriotic reverence, aud an appeciatjou of the best interests of the country, are only the results of uumauly intrigues, of dust-eating, of irredeemable 1 promises, and midnight plottings. When Mr Lincoln was ncommended for renomioatiun by the various legisla- tores, there was a vast display of this spe- 1 cies of enthusiasm. Pew were deceived i by it, however.

pyrotechnics are harmless in most cases; and are only to be censured because uf their insignificance and futility. The Fight on Wednesday. The Philadelphia Inquirer, in speaking the contest on Wednesday, between the 1 Federal and Confederate forces, near Frederick, says The Rebels, evidently reinforced, followed up their advantage by pursuing close up to our retiring column. In the meantime Gen Wallace hurried up rein- foroements under Gen. Tyler, with bis chief of staff, Lieut.

Col. Lynd The rebel force was about 1200 in num- ber, commanded by General Bradley T. Johnson, and composed of cavalry and infantry, with two pieces of artillery. Johnson, after forcing us back in the morning, succeeded in eluding our forces 1 at Catoctin Pass, and by 3 in the afternoon was rapidly approaching Fred- Some mile and a half beyond the city he- was mo by Col. Gilpin, and a brisk engagem-nt immediately ensued, Colonel Gilpin forming his line of battle on an eli- I gible ground.

Under cover of the fire of their three pieces they advanced to the 1 charge, but notwithstanding the troops of Gilpin Wi mostly raw, they met the on- set without flinching, and drove the rebels back. Reforming their line they again advanced to charge, but our boys, with a constancy worthy of veterans, hurled them back. Not yet satisfied, Johnson essayed i it once more, but meeting the same fate, i 1 he desisted from any further attempts, an 1 contented himself with a brief skirmish fight i il night, in which we were still his mat- oie noticeable feature of the contest was that the rebels, during the afternoon, threw many shells into the city of Fred- i eriok, where were numbers of women and i children. Several of the missiles fell near our hospital. Our losses were about fifty, mostly slightly wounded.

Tito rebel loss is not known, but is supposed to be heavy This morning at daylight it was discovered that Johnson had retired towards Middletown. aud our forces started in pursuit and overtook him near Catoctin Pass, when Wief skirmishiog ensued, but I only know at this moment that the enemy is apparently falling back. Our troops iu that direction received such rein orcemeats this morning as will render the! situation permanently secure, THE MYSTERY OF THIS RAID.
