While endeavoring to discover their strength and the full nature of their position, which occupied the evening, the greater portion of the army came up. The re sult wa3 a desperate engagement at Sharpsburg yesterday, which is said to have been a glorious victory for our arms, terminating in a disorder ly fight of the rebel army .across the river, A despatch to the PhUaffetpliU Inquirer,, dated Hagerstown, the 17ih, says Gen.

On this (Wednesday) morning i; was resumed at day. oak with such violence a ml rapidity,, that tint people of the vicinity, who have watched the progress of the five days’ contest, say it was cniircly unprece dented. It was one continuous battle cf he ivy guns, and from the position I occupied, Gen. McClellan's right appeared to rest on Sharps burg, and his left on Catoctin creek. The rebels destroyed a bridge over ibis creek yes terday, but (*ea. McClellan had it rebuilt dur ing the night. The position occupied by Gen. McClellan appears to be an advantageous one, hi? guns seeming to be stationed on a range of hills, from the apex of which the little clouds of white smoke rolled tip in the distance, marking distinctly the line of conflict. The cannonading commenced at daylight, aud was heard distinctly up to I o’clock, causing the impression that the great battle of the cam paign was ih progress. The wounded were being carried towards Hagerstown and Bocnsboro’, so that little could be heard direct from the field, in the directfon ot Middletown. The reports that were receiv ed from the scene of conflict were highly la- vorable, our iocces having at the time the best position, and the battle being principally with artillery, in which we have a g’eat superiority.

Ten thousand Pennsylvania militia will meet the foe at Hagerstown to invade Pennsylvania backward.

Five hundred of their de^d were buried by us as early as l) o’clock A. M. to-day ar.d the work is sail going on. This morning the battle was recommenced at at 5 o’clock, near Gettysville.

T.IE PRESS ON THE LATE BATTLE3. The Northern papers seem to be rather in the dark about the recent “glorious victories.” The Tribune says: Of the- result of the last four or five days fighting in Maryland, and of the present con dition..of .Affairs there, we are sliil uncertain. The latest account reports Juries0a to Lave rc- c.rossed the Potomac, and to have engaged our forces near Sharpsburg, about ton miles from the river! The despatch, which comes by way of Harrisburg, adds that, the enemy “will be annihilated or captured before night,but this, of course, is mere conjecture, though it may be, aud we hope is, founded upon more knowl edge of the situation of affairs than we are possessed of. Harper’s Ferry, however, it is certain, is lost to us, and with this commanding position in their possession, with the bridge uninjured, they may be able to make good their retreat should they be compelled to retire. The Baltimore American, of the 13th inst., says the ncw3 is not definite enough to speak decisively of results, and adds: All our information, however, is of an en couraging character, indicating that though the rebels have still the bulk of their army in Ma ryland, and are vigorously contending their position, that yet Gen. McClellan is actively pressing them with all the advantages appar ently in our favor. The fighting on Monday and Tuesday appears to have been principally an artillery engagement at long range, ascer taining the position or driving them from par ticular points, whilst our army was being mass ed and arrayed for more active work. In these rations wo are reported to have inflicted considerable loss upon che enemy and taken a number of prisoners. Howell Cobb is reported wounded aud a prisoner at a farm house near the batUo field. Gen. Longstreet is reported killed and General Hill captnred. These, are, ’ owever, only rumors that need confirmation. There seems to be no doubt that a severe and general fight'occurred yesterday, the result of which ha? not at this time been announced. The Washington Republican (Lincoln’s or gan) says: ' The demand Is universal, that our success of Sunday, greater or less, shall bo lollowed up and made useful. Not only, ought the enemy to be driven pfill meil out of Maryland and up the Valley of Virginia, but his return to Rich mond should be rendered impossible by an ad vance upon the Virginia Central Railroad, or by a seizure of Richmond itself. . '-Qur forces are abundant anf superabundant. Let us now have action raid energy. Strike while the iron is hot. On iGtRIphinoad 1 1 The New Yos*t Herald says the reports froi the battle field are co brief and Indefinite, only to “sharpen the anxiety for something; more.” It sSys: We think, however, that scanty and vague a£ are the specifications befhre ns, they are snfS-'J cientto justify the unqualified, conclusion that' General McClellan has administered the death blow to this hydra-headed rebellion.

A correspondent of the Baltimore American, writing from Frederick on the I7tb, says: Harper’s Ferry fell into our possession again on Tuesday evening, at 7 o’clock, and was oc cupied by a portion of Gen.

Editors Republican—Gentlemen: After giv- g our side a chance to make a little more pre paration, the enemy appeared off St. John’s Bluff this morning, and at an early hour opened fire. Their fleet consisted of five gunboats— consequently they have been reinforced from Fernandina, as was supposed. Two of their steamers are heavy side-wheel vessels, and are supposed to carry guns of large calibre. The enemy opened fire, standing a long distance from the battery, rather beyond tho range of our guns. We judiciously lay pretty quiet, by orders, saving our strength and ammunition, and waiting for a nearer approach; and the ef fect of our fire would have been terrible, as they well knew, had they pushed on, as the We fired only 30 times. We have lost two men killed and two w ounded, whose names I have not learned. We do not know what damage the enemy sustained. Even with their five steamers they have not passed our battery. Can they ever pas3 it ? Nous verreni, 1 learn that Capt. McRary, who was badly wounded in the former engagement, is recovering. Your3 respectfully. St. John. Startling Developments at Washington —Conspiracy to Depose clio President.. A despatch to the New York Herald, dated Washington, 16th, says most extraordinary dis-. closures have been made there by letters and verbal communications .from prominent politi cians, showing that a vast conspiracy has been set on foot by the radicals of the Fremont fac tion to depose the present administration, and place Fremont at the head of a provisional gov ernment; in other words, to make him a mili tary dictator. The despatch adds 1 Oae oTthege letters : asserts that one feature of the cdasplxfccyTTs the proposed meeting of Governors of-the Northern States to request ^President Lincoln to- resign,.to enable them to •ry out their scheme. The writer, in conclu- <n, says Governor Andrew and Senator Wil- >£n arc at work, and they are probably at the ^ '*5ttom of the movemenfc From other well informed sources it is leam- ^ckthat the fifty thousand independent volun teers proposed to be raisedjiiuder the auspices of the New York- UnionpjJfefence Committee, were intended to be a nucleus for the organiza tion of this Fremont conspiracy.
