Col. Mulligan not Dead but badly Wounded— Mosby Across the Potamac &c.
PHILADELPHIA, July 30. — A dispatch from Harper's Ferry, to the Bulletin dated last night says, it has been ascertained
that Col. Mulligan is not dead but badly wounded and still in the hands of the rebels. Pretty well authenticated
information received here tonight is to the effect that the rebel Mosby with 500 cavalry has crossed the Potomac
into Maryland, at Edwards Ferry, and is endeavoring to intercept our wagon trains. I learn that it is out of his
reach, besides strongly guarded. Government authorities think the report very doubtful that there are any rebels
arrived in Maryland yet. Trains still arrive regularly from Sandy Hook and Frederick [1 Aug 1864; Cincinnati Daily Enquirer - Submitted by K. Torp]
