The War . ä The official dispatches of McClellax claim a complete victorj over the rebc! force. Theeneinj were driven over the Potomac, and, to use the lar.puajre of McClillax, " Maryland and FenttMlrania are now eafe." There in no con-' firmation of the capture of Howell Cobb and bin division, of the wounding and capture of LoscMKtiT, of the killing of Hill, of the recapture of Helper Ferry, or of the huge numbers of prisoners reported to have been taken. 1 he litest accouuta estimate our loaie at ten thousand and that of the rtbeU about the fame. We ehall hare to wait for official report to be advised of the result thit hive been accomplished in the recent engagements. This much, however, we knor, a complete victory has been achieved in forcing the enemy to rctre.it from Maryland into Virginia, and instead of being aggressor, tlireatenin;; Northern invasion, to act upon the detetnite. The dispatches from J General McClillax, I.itel ye-terd.iy, are modest j and e have nod 'übt all can be conceded to him ! that be claim While the rc-lrel army lu not been annihilated or demoralized, a h n been announced, vet it has met with a reverse which will doublte compel it to change in reported pl in of operation Instead of an aeprire it will prob ably again become a defensive army. In a few day the smoke which h.H hidilen the contending arniien will vanish and we tdmll be able to form Home opinion as to future operations. The new from Kentucky throw some doubt upon the reported capitulation of our forces at MonfordviUe. This i almost too good news to believe, but if it hould prove to be so, the gallantry ol the troops defending Muufordville will not be equaled by any which has occurred during the war. The doubt of the capitulation will excite intense interest iu the public mind until the facts are known. A correspondent, writing from Corinth, Miss., under date of 14th inst.,savs: About twelve or fourteen regiments, numbering in the aggregate about C.tMM) men, left here last week for Louisville and Cincinnati, it being deemed proper to have a nucleus of veterans, around which to rail? the host of raw recruits now hastening to Kentucky. This movement from Grant's army has ceased, and no more will goOur forces have been withdrawn from Decatur, Tuscurobia, and Inka, and the rebels have entiie possession of the Memphis and Charleston road east of Durusvi'.le, fifteen miles from here. Yesterday morning a small skirmish occurred at Iuka, in which we lost two killed, seven wounded, and twenty-five taken prisoners. The loss of the rebels, if any, we have no means of knowing. Our forces at Iuka consisted of six companies of the 7th Illinois. 1st Minnesota infantry, bth Wisconsin infantry, and a section of a battery consisting of two 13-pound howitters the whole under command of Col Murphy, of the fth Wisconsin. This morning our whole force evacuated at daylight, and fell back to this place, making a forced march of twenty eight miles. About quarter of a million of dollars of government property was left to fall into the hands of the rebels, among which were a million Miid a half of rations; sixteen wagons loaded with other wagons in pieces; 177 bale of cotton; GtH) bar reis of salt, and any quattt'.tv of hospital and miscellaneous stores. Alton t 2.1KH) contrabands' also followed the retreating force. and their fright t wa so great that at one lime they tlrew their j clothing and babies in the brush, and left them to I the tender mercies ot the rebels. Col. Murphy i is loudlv and bitter! v denounced bv his men, and i the unanimous testimony of soldiers and citizens 1 is. that there was no occasion for evacuating the j place. Up to nine o'clock this morning, at which time a straggler left there, no enemy had made j their appearance either in or about the town. Our stores and cotton might hate been burned, but the Colonel commanding forbade it, on the ground that it would be a signal to the enemy. j Reinforcements were ordered from Jacinto to j Iuka last night, but they will reach there only to find the place in the hands of the rebels, if indeed there are any rebels there. Another correspondent writing three days later. the 17th inst.,says: j Rumor says that Trice is advancing slowly toward Corinth, and is ithin twelve miles of that j Elace with 25.000 troops. The probability is that j e has more than that j It is said that the 17,000 prisoners recently ex changed at Yn kburg have mostly been seut to j his command, and have teen all well armed. If o, his forte is by no means small in numbers, and not to be depied as foes. tien. Grant his ! the advantage of the fortifications at Corinth, i and a line ol communication that can send him j reinforcements rapidly, and in sufficient numbers ! to maintain his position. The latest intelligence from Iuka to day i. j that Price is near there with 40.(MHJ men. K uertl troops have lcn i-tarted toward that point from ; Corinth, and a bat. !e there within a few days is ipeeted.

During this afternoon inf rmatiou was received from headquarters showing that the enemy were recrosj-ing the rtcr, and concentrating iher forces on a rklge of hills outside the town of Sharpsburg, wiihiu three miles ot the maiu body of our army.

Septemlier 17.-'1 his ha btui au eventful day In the hitory of the relellion. A battle has ta ken place in hieb tlie Army of the Potomac is agaiu vic:orons. It exceeded in extent any battle heretofore fought on this continent. At daylight the battle w a renewed on the center and right by H'oker and Sumner, who, after a sharp contest of two noun, drove the enemy a mile. The rebels rallied shortly, ainl with terrible los regained nvt of their !oi grrund. At this time II 'x A er received a ihot in the ankle and was carried from the field. The commmd of his troops now devot vel upn Sumner, Richardson cor..mtndiog hU division was wounded at the mc time. Sumner determined to retake t!ie lost grouivl. ordered the tro)ps V) advance, which they did, driving the rebel before them wiih great slaughter. Thev not only retook the ground but drove the rebel a quarter of a mile beyond. In this action General Man-field was phot through the lungi and died son after. During litis time I5urni-le and Porter had not bee idle.. They drove the rebels from the lino of Antictara creek, on the inain road to Sharpsburg, built a bridge (the old one had been destroyed) and occupied the opposite bank. The U here wa considerable. The troops now oc cu pled both barks of the creek, lopetpns sosum of ridiie, hill or riht and left hand sides of the rad, from which th) rebels were thundering away with artillery, was a task not easily accomplished. Svke's brigade, w ith the assistance of Sumr.fr, enrried the ri'ht hand ude, after considerable loss, then-bels running in all directions. It is now five o'clock. All thetiemv' positions

are carried except one on the left hand ide of toe road. To do this duty Iturn-dde is assigned. Artillery opened, inTintry advanced, and tl.e point is car- ' ried at a charge, but we were forced to retire before a superior force. Knowing if they lost this ridpe, the complete ront of their army would be the result, they fought with great desperation. Darkne-s now ovei looked the two armies; hostilities ceased by mutual cons.ent. The battle lasted from .r in the morning until 7 at night, without a moment's cessation. The conduct of the troops, without exception, was excellent. It is impossible now to form a correct idea of the loss oa either Hide. It is heavy on both sidis. Our loss will probably reach 10,000. That of the enemy won't exceed it. The enemy's dead nearlv all fell into our hands, thickly strewn over the fields, many places lying iu Leap". Our wounded were immediately carried from the field. When Hooker fell, McCIellan immediately pas.-edto the right, and w;is enthusiastically leceived. His presence added much to our success in recovering the ground lot. He was in the center and on the left, anxiously watching the progress of the battle, and giving directions as to the manner of attack. He idept in a tent tonight for the fit st time since leaving Frederick. W took l.r''0 piisoners during the day. The enemy obtained but few. The following officers are among the killed and wounded: Hart-utr, Duryea, Sedgwick, dpt. Andenreid, aid to Sumner, wounded. Mai. Sedgwick, killed; Col. McNeil and Lieut, Allen "( Rucktail). killed; Col. Polk, 2d U. Si Sliarphooters, wounded. Several other pioniii rnt officers reported killed and wounded. Not'iing positively known concerning them. NO BATTLK TKSTFRUAT BATTLE WILL BE ELSlMt It THIS MOKMNO. IIaerisbi no, September' IS. Information received this morning, direct Irom the battle field, represented the battle would undoubtedly be resutued to-day; but, up to this hour, no firing heard at Hagerstown. The forces remain in about the same position as on yesterday night. Troops still arriving by thousands, and immediately forwarded. Later advices, just received at headquarter?, from Hagerstown, confirm the report that no fighting has taken place to-day; that the rebels are supposed to be short of ammunition, and that the fight will probably re commence at daylight to-morrow. The telegraph line is being extended to Booties boro, and will probably be completed by to-mor row. Sprcial Crrp.iideriC of tbe Chicago Tirnf s. From usiiing ton. Contradictory Reports from Maryland Great dame of Strategy Deployments of the Rebel Vtsiyns in Jncadiny the AorA. Washinotox, Sept. 15. Affairs about Washington just now are complicated to no li mit.nl extent. Of the true aspect of matters in Maryland we know absolutely nothing. The thousand reports that are drifting through the atmosphere scarcely agree in any single feature; even the intelligence afforded us by reliable informants just from the scene of op erations has a most consistent character of contradiction. The purposes, strength, and operations of the rebels arejust as little understood. It is believed that their object is to invade Pennsylvania to obtain provisions in Maryland, and then retreat down the Shenandoah alley toward their base in the direction of Richmond to at'.ack Baltimore and Washington to make a feint with a view of getting our troops away from Washington, and so on ad infinit un. Nor are their num bcrs les a subject of a large variety of widely differing conclusions. It is a mere raid of 5,000 men it is Longstreet's whole division it is Longstreet's and Jackson's it is the whole rebel riiiy that lately battled with our forces before Wa-hingtoii in short, it is a force numbering any w bei e from five to three hundred thousand men. And then w e have no lack of battle A gen tlemin who left Hagerstown vesterday beard heavy firing in the direction of Harper's Ferry. We have rt liable information from a refugee who left Frederick last evening that a tight was j rocrosing five miles et of thai city. W'c have just seen an express from the upper Potomac in which it was stated that the rebels yesterday attempted to ford the river, when our troops opened upon them with masked battaries, literally crowding the water with der.d und wounded. We learn through a private but thoroughly trustworthy source that yesterday the advance of the Federal troops engaged the rebt-1 rear and succeeded in capturing four hundred rrisoners and a train of supplies, with a ioss of only two men wounded cn our put; and so g es the re iable intelligence from the Upper River. Even correspondents on the ground do not .-eein to possess the foresight peculiar to that class of gentlemen. They discuss wisely the probable pi aus of the rebel Geoeral. chronicle their movements and those of our own troops. They give us b itties ii nd skirmishes w ith oit number, but s et no two so far as I hae seen have agreed in a single one of thee paiticulars. Conflicting, however, as all these matters are. people are satified of at least ot.e thing; and that i. thst tbe management f the rebel ha bet-n finally intrusted to plot er hands. Our wily fie under tie command of Lee. or.eol the ablest str ategists and tacticians of their army, has been able to out-maneuver and out general the power ent against him to wan! the Rappahannock; now ti e cae is different. The General who hangs like destiny upon their rear is no mere leader of small columns, but one who can hindlewith eise a hundred thousand men; and hence whatever taav be their movements or intentions they will find themselies met at every turn. It is a know I ed-e of the-e facts which euab'.es people here to extract confidence from the m is of contradictions that hourly reach us from the front. These contradictious are very material. Evervftod knew what was going on when Pope had the field. His pUns were simple, str.ii.-lit-for ward and easily underwood they ronsi-tcd fn no'hing more than acerTairing the locality of the enemy, marching rieht at him. and by dint of hin! fighting to drive him (orte driven from the field Put with the pieM-nt state of affairs it is d.tferent. for the reaon thst two of the lirt strategists of the countrv are ; i:tcd ag.iin.-t each othei, and their uioteuienl Mt complicated, farreaching, and to the tjro are in many c:i-es absurd. But every movemeM has it purpose every skirmish. advance, retreat or reconnuis.ince its ebject. Pope wa a chess plaver who took his queen, dashed straight at the enemy's centre, and with a weak antagonist would by his audacity effect a checkmate. Lee. however, was too old a plaver for such a game, and in eon-equence (to continue my che-s il'u-tratioii) he qu'etlr gobbled up his o; poiictit'g queen and theu jroceeded to check tuate hi opponent with . McCIellan nsrsut-t

Lee is like Morphy against Paulsen. The game is a profound one, and, like all games among great rlajetp, proceeds l twly; and to us who have barely learned euough of the science to understand the "move," tberc is much about it that wecan't understand. Let u wit hopefully. Lre m at occi-icnaily ponouttce the won? "check;" but in a few dais we shall hare from McCiellan tl e fsr more important announcement "checkttiate:" Up tr this time the designs of Gen. Le iu invading Maryland have fec:jerjvelojcd in mystery. But the events of the last twenty-four hours have lifted the' veil to some extent, and Ids p. ana are now developed. They have been considerably deranged by the preeneeof Gen. McCIellan, and it is poMiible that the skillful ojinbinaiiun of the latter may jet baffle all of Gen. Lee's designs againt the N'orth, and coniel him to do really what he is now pretending to do, namely: retreat into Virginia. (Jen. McClelhn's enemies here are grumb'ing at what they call his slow move merits. But the fact i. he' has moved his army with such celerity as to seriously damage the Confederate army and to very nearly breakdown all of Lee's plans. 1 have just returned from Frederick, where I have been for twodays, and I know this to be so. Since the date of my last letter. Gen. McCIellan has made such a demonstration with his ri;ht wing, Burnide'a corps, towards Westminster, as prevented Lee from moving, as he had commenced to do, towards the N'orthern Central railroad, and compelled him to concentrate his whole force near Hagerstown, where he is now. The success of his future movements requires the possession of Martin-burg, now occupied by Brigadier General Julius White of Illinois, and it is for this that General Jackson crossed the Potomac at Wi!liamport and moved into Virginia, two or three days ago. His plans, however, do not require the jo?..sespion of Harper's Ferry; and as General McCieli.m now holds the possession of both hide-of the Monocacy in force, General Le will not attacktli.it point. It cn scarcely be doubted, however, that General White will I? compelled to evacuate Murtiiisburg, and Gen. Lee will then be in full communication with ll.e Shenandoah Valley, along which, from Strasburg and Winchester, his reiiilorcemeuts ate now marching toward Hagerstown. There is no doubt that (ten. Lee's design is to advance from Hagerstown to Ilarrisburg in two tdrong columns one through Getty-burg and the other through Chambcrsburg. Gov. Curtin is well aware of this, ami telegraphed to Plnla delphia vesterdav several times lor reinforce merit-. Iiis said that he will have a force of 0,000 men along these two roads, and at Han is burg, to oppo.-e the invaders. But Gen. Lee's officers laugh at these home guards, and boa-t that the disciplined troops of the South w ill .scatter them like tdieep. If General Lee has the troops which it Is said be lias, 150,00tJ, including 1G.000 cavalry and 300 pieces of rtillery, there is little doubt of his being able to take Harrisburg Once there fie w 11 of course iletrov the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and the railroad from the north, and then march on Philadelphia. The capture of that city, however, is a ery different nutter from the capture of Harrisburg. It is probable that before the Quaker City the rebel army would be annihilated.

From the 3tw--York World, Sept. 15. Tlie frntrul Imbecility A Coux-rva tire Jtciii hlicun ami a. Itadical lit-, publican Paper I'pon It. Three months ago, after having, in common with all loyal men, faiihfully suppoite'l the Administration with all the vigor and persistence of which we were capable fur a long twelvemonth, apfn.-eof the higher loyaltv dm? to the ( jvernment which President Lincoln and his Cabinet were administering with üueh utter inefficiency and feebleness, constrained us to break liie general accord and to pronounce against them the verdict: "Tried, and found wauling." S.nce then the imbecility of phe Administration has had now proofs, and the geioral orders dated from the "Headquarters l)efen$ of Washington" aie to-day the standing stigma which it has newly added to the shameful record of the past, tsnce then, too, new jowers have been usurped, and either prostituted to base uses or wielded w ith fruitless impotence. Me.tnwtiile a sense of our wretched condition has spread among ihe people, who, in increasing numbers, have come to perceive that abstinence from criticism, ua minimis silence, ami general praise were no way in which to invigorate the Administration, or to concentrate the energies of the people in a vigorous piroseculion ot the war. The freedom with which we have animadverted upon the Usurpations and the imMtence of the Administration called out much virulent op;osition. To-day, however, there are but two classes of persons who do not admit and re echo all th.it we have been constrained to sav: the radicals who are willing to gee the country drift to the brink of ruin, if thereby they may force their proclamation punacca down the throats of the people; and the timid, feeble Knls who con found the Administration with the Government, and tue incapable of perceiving that fidelity to the one may be possible only through an unsparing denunciation of the other. It is a hopeful sign of the times that the nation is awakinc to its perils that a strong united conservative opposition party is forming and gather ing strength which will give peaceful channels to noble pas.sions that might else break out in perilous and unsafe violence, and will constrain icsults to which it could not persuade and that this de nunciation of central imbecility and inefficiency i at Washington is becoming so universal that i President Lincoln and his Cabinet can not long refuse to hear and heed the general verdict j "Tried, and found wanting." i The following extracts are from this week's Independent, and it is but just to 5ay that they only ive better expression to the common ' thoughts of the most loyal presses throughout the land: "The conduct of affairs, thus far, is obliging j the world to nay that ten slave Stitcs, with eiht : million p-eople. are more than a match for twenty free States, with twenty millions of people! We hive civilization, wealth, numbers, nruerals, intelligence, moral prestige and lit-erty on ourside. They h ives'averv, barbarsm, ignorance and lelative poverty. We can not even s i v that it ie a j drawn game! At present the North is beaten. "It is a supreme ind extraordinary want of executive talent at the he id of Government tiiat is bringing us to humiliation and setling this great union up as a false witness against liberty and Christian civilization! "It is a-ked. wh;u profit istherejn such continuous criticism? Admit that the facts are so, i.s it not better to join hands and suppoit the Government? Yes. Let tint be done to the uttermost. But w e must secure the existence of a Govern met.t to be supported. " Imbecility is a national spendthrift. Central inefficiem-y is a vortex that will -wallow down the substance, the spirit, and the men of a nation. We are poing from bd to worse. If there were signs of anv amendment, we coull h ive patience tliough disaster marked the hours, and blood dripped the seconds. But the.e i none. For along time we waited the revelation of some deep plan or frhrewd piolicy. But so miny parts of the doincs of la-t eir have been finished into history, and aie now , upon know ledge of all the interior elements, found to have been without policy, plan, sup ta is'on. or any controlling force, save ch dice, di ilting chance, thai w e cm no longer console our-ehes that tl.eteis a hidden wisdom that will cotiveit aj-parenl folly into success. It is inco.'i trovert.ble thai central ihelliciency is wasting the lite of the nation. It is uot tec tuse this plan or tli.it policy has not been adopted, but that no comprehensive plan of any kind, and no pohcy th it give unity and simplicity to the affairs of all our armies and generals, has been pursued. "If this exhausted nation hall at length give up this conflict, and betrav the mot glorious trust of liberty that God ever put into injit il bands, and on so graud a theatre as this western continent, iel it not be said that it w as the fault of the common people, nor of the institutions of liberty. Let it be known that the nation wasted away bv the incurable consumption of central imbecility. " Porter Count)' Democratic nml Con aervatlar ( oinrnllnn.

The vote, as copied frm page .".3 of the House Journal, is as follows. Those who voted in the affirmative were: Democrats Atkinson, Black. Brett. Collins of Adams, Combs, Coopri ier, Dobbins, Edson, Fleming, Ford, Gifford, Hayes, Heffren, Hoicomb, Horton, Howard. Lods, McClung, Moss, Mutz. 0ens, l'ack ird.

As we before rem irked, tho-e resolutions were introduced by Mr. Robeits.a Democrat, and received the inJor-emem of tvery Democrat in the House who was present at the time the vote was i;ien. This vote correctly repre-ents the sentiments of the Democracy ol Indiana on the war question, and we hope our Republican friends ot the pre-5 will take notice of it and govern tleir pens af-cordingly. Meat "No Parti." Mr. Araoi Tuck, Naval Oflioer at Boston, ha. recently removed from of lice h;s most experiencel and faithful Deputy, Mr. C D Laicoln, to mike rvom for his son in law, Mr. F. O. French. Mr. Tuck thus shows himself a remarkable political sportsman, killing three birds with one Mone, knocks a Democrat, rewards a relative, und saves that relative from the dangers of tie draft. That's the way they do these thitvgs in these "no party" times. A'. . I'uUict. i Tue Last ExvisK -The Elyria Dtmrrat gives the foliowing: Every exredident has been reported to by some pei siis lo avoid a draft. The latest dooe we hate heatd related is told of one who, bav'u.jj , been examined for various diseased and pronounc i ed eound as to all of tLtua, fell back upon the 1 moral of the ueliou, and declared a draft lobe . immoral und unconstitutional, because it vat a a me cf cha nee!

.tlr. rdgerton'w Speech J. K. Edgerton, E-q , candidate fir Congress in tliis di.-trrt, in accordance with the ann'uncement heretofore nude, delivered in Colerick'a Hall, oft Saturday night la-t, a speech of extraordinarv abüitr and reseirch, which sati.-Iied in the highest degrie his very large audience; o we judge Irom the repeated and continued manifes tations of applau-e they made. Of that part of his speech which which was answering to personal attacks and that which was devoted particularly to the party we will not here mention, as this paper is neither in the interest of the Democrats nor of Abolitionists under anv name; but

we can at, with fairne? to Mr. LJerton and the cause he esDones. that herdared himelf and the cause in an enviable light himself lor hi ability, sound logic, and lofty patriotism of bis speech; his cause for its close adherence to the policy adopted and interpretation made of the Constitution of the LTnited States by the fathers of the Union and fratners of the rights of the American citizen. The State of Indiana furni-hes no candidate for public favor of the sound learning and ability of Mr. Edgerton. and these remarks a thorough acquaintance wiih him personally and professionally, as well as long and uninterrupted friend, ship, justice compels us to make.- Fort Wayne Timet Hep.)
