Reuth advertised a bull that came to , his5! place uninvited. In the same, paper two horses are advertised and a. reward-offered, that were stolen. The following is a. letter from Mr. Thomas L. Hall, who was a very prominent citizen of the 8th Election District. He gives additional losses sustained by citizens in the Gilmor raid:
"Messrs. Editors—Seeing a statement of the doings of the Rebel raiders in the neighborhood of Western Run and Cockeysville in the Advocate of last week that comes so far short of a full statement, I deem it due to those who have been omitted, to send you the following:
"Loss of horses—John D. Matthews, 7; Thos. H. Matthews, 12 and 1 mule; James Wainwright, 2; Edwin Scott, 4; Thomas Griffith, 2; George Chilcoat and son-in-law, 11; Wm. Ghent, Jr.-, 1; Alfred Ghent, 1; Wm. Ghent, Sr., 1; George Wisner,! 1; Isaac Webster, 2; Benj. Johnson, 4; Noah Gorsuch, 1; Abraham Scott, 2; Ezra Price, 1; Rasalba Bosley, 1, making an addition of 54 horses not published.
At Cockeysville they burned for T. H. Matthews three cars containing 900 bushels of wheat, and 3 car3 filled with flour barrels, worth $3500. Thos. Bond was compelled to give them $25; John Bosley of Daniel, $50; Elias Matthews $2 5, and William Ensor, 50 cents and pocketbook. John D. Matthews had his watch taken from him, also Mor-dica Matthews, Jr.
Very respectfully, &c,
THOMAS L. HALL." Charged With Aiding the Rebels. —Charles T. Cockey, of Baltimore county, was arrested on Friday last charged with conducting the rebels during the late raid in this county. He was held for trial.
A Tree Hewn by Bullets.—Most people, says the Richmond Enquirer, "have doubted the literal accuracy of the dispatch concerning the battle of Spottsylvania, which alleged that trees were ' cut down under the concentrated fire of min-ni balls. We doubted the literal fact ourselves, and would doubt it still but for the indisputable testimonial of Dr. Chas. Macgill, an eyewitness of the battle. The tree stood in the rear of our breastworks, at that point upon which at one time the most murderous fire that ever was directed. The tree fell inside our works, and injured several of Our men. After the battle, Dr. Mac-gill measured the trunk and found it 22 inches through'and 61 inches i-n circumference, actually hacked through by the awful avalanche of bullets packing against it. The foliage- of the. tree was trimmed away as. effectually as if an army of locusts had swarmd in its branches. A grasshopper could not have lived through the pelting of that leaden storm, and but for the fact that our troops were protected by breastworks, they would have been swept to a man."
On August 12th there was an important communication from Admiral Farragut to the War Repartment, as follows:
"Mobile. Aug 5th.—To Hort. J. A. Sedden, Secretary of War: Seventeen of the enemy's vessels—fourteen ships and three iron clads— passed Fort Morgan this morning. The Tecumseh, a monitor, was sunk by Fort Morgan.
"The Tennessee surrendered after a desperate engagement with the enemy's fleet—Admiral Buchanan lost a leg and is a prisoner. "The Selma was captured. "The Ganes was beached near the hospital
"The Morgan is safe, and will try to -run up tonight.
"The enemy's fleet has approached the city, and a monitor has been engaging Fort Powell all day—D. H. Maury, Maj.-Gen."

Tennessee. General McCook, for; nion forces, destroyed 18 miles j of the Macon & Western Railroad] and started to capture 500 rebel; wagons on the march from Atlanta' to Columbus. He captured the train and nearly 500 nien, including 127 officers.
The wagons were loaded with valuable stores, including liquors' and the private papers of Gen. Hood and others.
After possessing themselves of what they wanted, our men burned the wagons.
Gen. McCook started to return with the prisoners and 300 mules, but was overtaken by the Rebels in force under Gen. Ransom.
This force was so large as to completely surround our forces.
A desperate engagement ensued, in which many of our men escaped and found their way to Marietta.
The number of Unionists captured it is supposed will reach 2000.
This disaster is attributed to our troops partaking too freely of the liquors found in the captured Rebel train.
There is also an account of a small engagement at Cumberland, Maryland, between the Federal troops under General Kelley and the Confederates, under Generals Mc-Causland and Brady T. Johnson. rIhe engagement was - more in the nature of a skirmish, the casualties reported being 100 Confederates killed and wounded and three killed and six wounded of the Union forces.
