With Freedom" soil beneath ear fest, And Freedom" banner streaming oter as I LETT= FROM OCCASIONAL " WASHINGTON, June 16, 1861. However the evacuation of Harper's Ferry by the traitors may be excused as a strategic movement, there is no d...aibt that it has pro. duced the greatest alarm among their sympa thizers here and elsewhere. We are gra dually getting an inside view of the situation . of the so called aConfedefated army." With all their care to conceal their movements, much information reaches headquarters as to theohjects of the leaders, the condition of the troops, and the feeling of the Virginia people. Never were men in such a dilemma. The Secession army, granting it to be as large as the most extravagant newspaper writer desires to have it, (and the larger the worse for them,) is in a horrible plight. The commissariat is wretched; the rank and file dissatisfied ; the officers, especially those who left the United States GovernMent to take commis sions under Davis, dispirited, and the peo ple oppressed and plundered by a host of strangers, who have come into Virginia to make it the theatre of a war for the gratifica tion of the ambitious doggie of a ruw despe rate adventurers. If you desire to look be hind the curtain that conceals all this rebel lion—its starvation, begging, and boasting— take up any one of the few Southern papers that reach you, and you will at once perceive what a concern it is! Bitter abase of the free States, lying stories about Mr. lancoon, and violent invectives of General Scorr and the thousands under his command, are, of course, to be found; but you can readily detect the discontent, desperation, poverty, and apprehension, under this thin veil of stormy braggadocio and self-accusing ill-temper. In trying to drive Virginia out of the Union, DAVIES and his associates cal cabled without wisdom or good sense. It is true they started with some advantages—such as the possession of the positions of Ilarper'e Ferry, Norfolk, Alexandria, and Richmond— of which they have lost two already! But they ought to have taken into their count the fact that Washington city was a near neighbor in the Old Dominion, and that the ca.pital of the Republic would be defended at every hazard. They ought to have reflected that along twa of the great frontiers of Virginia there was a loyal inside population, controlling over thirty counties of the State, which they could never seduce ; and who (as I have repeatedly predicted would be the case) have now nearly ten thousand Vir ginians under arms to put down their own domestic traitors and to help the Federal Go vernment. They ought to have anticipated the fact, which they now bitterly realize, that however ready the troops of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, may be to light the army of the United States, it is a very different thing, when, under a wasting conscript system, Virginians are called upon to fight Virginians on their own soil, to attack the soldiers of the Union who come into their State to protect their pro pat, against robbers and marauders, and at the same time to feed out of their own scanty resources this large mob of bun gry land pirates, who have always looked with contemptupon the people of Virginia, bec,mise they were suspected of being too loyal and patriotic ! Davis ought also to have remem bered that no campaign can be successfully conducted in a State whose people find them selves compelled to, bear the burden of the cost in every way, including the loss and deprecia tion of their slaves. He has committed , a great mistake, too, in not being prepared for the uprising of the free States bor. deringVirgeria. I allude to Pennsylvania and Ohio--States that, to protect their soil from his thieving hordes, have raised uncounted armies, part of which are now assisting the Union men in the loyal counties of Virginia. Is it strange that a crusade so insanely opened, no matter how long prepared for, should have assumed all the features of a great failure, and should now be on the eve of a catastrophe that will overwhelm all engaged in it? And when Davis retires where will he go ? Beaten in Virginia, disgraced and. humiliated, where will hisarmy, like a wounded snake, drag the length of its poisonous and bleeding body Of course to the Cotton States—to North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi ! And what to do there ? To resusci tate, to feed, and to plunder. What an invoca tion, this, to the misguided people to whom he has presented himself as a great Deliverer! What a sequel to all his promises! Well may they behold the retirement of his troops upon their fields and thresholds with terror. He can never advance to the posi tions he has lost and is losing. He must fall back—fall back—all the Bine. And what a retreat ! Before him a Government stronger than any in the world, and a people united by the consciousness of a good cause. Be hind him a disappointed, depressed, and bankrupt population. Nor, when these Secession hordes leave the soil which they have polluted, will Mr. Lute= pursue them. His first care will be to assist to heal wounds of Virginia; to restore to her her fields, channeled by the hoofs of the traitor, so that they may once more blossom and bloom; to give back to her the Constitution stolen from her; and to bring together those who have been parted by insidious and treacherous men. As to llissou f "; Wise, Hun ran, and the rest of that fast-failing aristo eraey who have last the prize they have played for, he will leave them to their own people— the same stern jurors and judges, ho will dis pose of the chiefs of the Confederacy in their own good time when they get them back to their respective bailiwicks. Richmond, which is now the capital of the Ham:Mena Confederacy," will not sea many sessions of the Traitor Congress. Montgomery teas the cradle of the new Disunion—RlClMOND WILL 35 118 GRATE! °Gomm:ter.. The eonilie n Privateers. Of the natural aptitude of the active spirits of the Secession movement for the part of if land pirates," as that character is popularly understood in this country, there can be no doubt. They have far surpassed in iniquity all the exploits of each wretches as Joint A. Xuanitu, and rendered themselves forever in famous by their robberies and cruelties. Bat their ambition to shine with equal splendor as sea pirates, through their privateeriog exploits, is evidently ill-fated. When we recollect with what confidence the leading conspirators pre dicted, a tow months ago, that they would Speedily institute such a war upon American commerce as would drive it shuddering from every sea, alter the capture of all its most magnificent prizes, it is with no little satisfac tion that we can regard the present prospect of a speedy termination of the naval career of our Southern enemies. The example of England in refusing to permit theme to sell prizes in any of her ports will doubtless be uni versally followed throughout Europe, and there is a strong probability that France cud England will accept our proposition to ta boo privateering forever and to affix upon it the indelible stain of piracy. While diplomacy is thus weaving meshes which the Southern marauders will find it very difficult to escape, our awn naval forces are not idle, and one of the first fruits of their industry is the arrival of the privateer Savannah at New York on Sa turday last, in charge of Midshipman Coos. Her crew of.thlrty pirates were left in irons on beard the Mieftneta, where they will probably have time enough—before they are swung off from the yard-arm—to reflect upon the infamy of their conduct and to deplore their wicked folly In raising their rntran hands against the American flag.

Journey through the Enemy's Lines. We had an interview recently with a gen tleman who was formerly a resident of this city, who bas just returned here from South Carolina, by the delightful overland route via North Carolina, and Manassas Gap Junction, Richmond, Winchester, and Harper'a Ferry, and thence by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to Baltimore. - lie bad spent several months in South Caro lina, and there, as well as 1.0 all other parts of the South ) all the active male population that could be spared have been sent oft to the seat of war. It will be difficult for the traitors to obtain any considerable number of new re emits, because the white men now left at home are necessary to guard against servile insur rections, and no little uneasiness exists in re ference to the disposition of the negroes. Whenever white men are caught conversing with them in reference to the present diffient_ ties in oar country, the offenders are severely punished. But the negroea appear to have their own plans for communicating intelligence, and exhibit not only an intense interest in the progress of affairs, but considerable knowledge in reference to the character of the struggle. During the bombardment of Fort Sumpter they were as much excited about the struggle, and apparently as anxious that the et Yankees," as they called thellt, should be successful, as their masters were that the fort should fall. On the lines of railroad leading to the North a considerable body of troops were on nearly all the trains. Like the chief portion of those whom he saw in Virginia, they were well armed, but many of them were badly clothed. An impression prevailed among them that there would probably be no serious conflict, as they had been led to imagine that after Congress meets, on the 4th of July, a compromise or political arrangement of some sort, which they to not pretend to comprehend or describe, would be adopted, and peace thus restored. Not a few of them are anxious to return to their homes, and they look forward with little grati fication to a protracted conflict. Others, how ever, express an intense desire for a battle, and the troops at Hatperltt Ferry, particularly, seemed very anxious for a fierce engagement. Our informant visited Manassas Gap, on the Bth test., and there saw the redoubtable General BRAVRECIARD, whose whereabouts are now no longer doubtful. The position was, being strongly fortified, not only with earthworks, but also with various brick walls, erected un der the superintendence of military engineers. Me number of troops there he supposes to have been between ten and Mean thousand, cut he made no effort to obtain an accurate estimate. He spent a day or two at Richmond, where it was rumored that martial law was about to be proclaimed, and where intense ex citement prevailed. In travelling through the dangerous dis trict to which we have referred, Ids person al safety was secured by passes from the Go vernor of South Carolina, and other dignita ries of that section, which he was fortunate enough to have countersigned at Manassas Junction by General BeAunzoann. His joy after reaching his Northern home in safety, despite the numerous obstacles which, notwithstanding his passport, he was compelled to encounter, can be easily ima gined, and in common with all those whe nave escaped from the Secession dominions, ow heart was filled with enthusiastic joy when, for the first time after some months of partial durance, he saw, near the Belay House, the proud banner of the Stara and Stripe& Justice to the Memory of Broderick. During the great Lecompton contest of the late Administration, the enemies of regular. Sovereignty in California sought to paralyze the exertions of the lamented Senator lino =lox by passing resolutions censuring his course in the Legislature of that State. This effort was only too successful so far as the passage of the resolutions was concerned, but the intrepid Senator, conscious of the great justice of his cause, refused to obey the man date, and determined to follow the dictates of his own conscience. The resolutions of con sure were of the most unjust and offensive character, and were only passed by the exer tions of the Administration party of the State, whose malignant persecution of BRODBRICK ended in his assassination by one of its minions. But ft time at last - sets all things even," and though BRODERICK is in his grave, justice has at length been done to his memory. The resolutions of censure have been in the statute book for more than two years, and during the recent session of the Legislature of California an attempt was made to have them expunged. The movement was warmly contested, and we read in our files of California papers the details of the legislative action, and a record of the vote upon the passage of a resolution to eX. punge the resolutioh of censure from the official records of the State. The vote was largely in favor of the adoption of the ex. purging• measure, the Senate vote being 18 to 18, and the Assembly vote 42 to 12. The course of the Legislature was dictated by the popular sentiment of the people of California, and no more fitting tribute could be paid to the memory of the great deceased than the fact that the State which he represented with so much fidelity should thus honor his me• mory and his devotion to truth, by expung ing from its archives the shameful record which bad been placed there by the direction of a wicked, cruel, and unrelenting Adminis tration. A vans interesting question has arisen in New Orleans. Some weeks ago one of the privateers seized two brigs and carried them as prizes into the port of New Orleans. &mong those on board were eight negro sailors, inhabitants of a Northern State, and freemen by birth. In the distribution of the plunder some difficulty arose as to the best method of disposing of the negroes. They were tendered to the marshal of the Confederate States, but he refused to have anything to do with them. They were then taken before one of the recorders or minor magistrates of the city, who decided to commit the unfortunate sailors to custody, and await the pleasure of the Montgomery Government. The matter was referred to Mr. BENJAMIN, the legal ad viser of Mr. Davis, who decided that the negroes being iree, could not be held as pri soners under the laws of the Confederate States, but must be disposed of according to the laws of the State into which they were brought. Different States of the South have different laws regulating the frec.negro sys tem. Many of them are very , rigorous, going as far as to forfeit the liberty of negroes who remain in the State. The regulations of Louisiana are comparatively mild, however, and in the case referred to the sailors were discharged from custody and directed to leave the South immediately. THE San Francisco newspapers speak of the immense sums ot treasure which are being accumulated in that city. Daring the month of May, the amount was larger than it had been at any time in the history of the State. Shipments to the East were not large, in con sequence of the apprehension which existed that Southern privateers might capture the steamers from Aspinwall to New York. If the present low rate of shipment continues, it is estimated that there will be, by the first of July, over and above the ordinary accumula tion of gold, treasure to the amount of $3,000,000. Ono of the journals, in comment ing upon this state ot things, says, cb If it con tinues tor three months, we can rejoice in an era of low rates of interest, manufactories will spring np, and public improvements be pushed forward with an energy unparalleled." Wi UNDERSTAND 'that Mies Dix, the super intendent of the nurse's deparment, is earn estly engaged in carrying out the instructions of the General Government, relative to an immediate and efficient organisation of a corps of nurses for service during the wax. She has been recently on a visit to Fortress Monroe, and will, we understand, personally inspect the different military departments of the East and West before completing her arrangements. Ladies have been invited to tender their ser vices, and the regulations for the government of these volunteers have been published. Each candidate for admission into the service of the Government Mud be between the years of thirty and forty-five. This rule will be of a general character, however, and not impera tive in its operations; for we are also informed that notwithstanding its existence, exceptions will be made in the favor of such applicants as may possess valuable experience in the duties required of them. A system of military obe dience will be introduced, and no candidates will be received but those of strong and healthy constitutions, and possessing recommenda tions of the highest character, for morality, honesty, sobriety, and trustworthiness. John A. Dahlgren This gentleman, a native of Philadelphia, and a commander in the United States navy, is at present in command of one of the most important navyiards in the country—that at the city of Washington. It is a fact memora ble in the annals of the existing extraordinary time, that, when the men long in possession of that important post resigned, one after the other in quick succession, they left this modest and meritorious officer with only a single asso ciate to stand by him. Neglected and over ridden by the bureanocracy that have con trolled under former Administrations, he was ex necessitate placed in command. Loyal in every drop of his blood and in every fibre of his frame, and pre-eminently gifted in his profession, his unasked-for appointment has been a blessing to the Administration and the Country. It .TonN A. DAHLGREN Were a citizen of. New York, the Legislature and the leading men of that State would demand that lie should be made a post-captain. The War Department, inspired by the genius of our great chieftain, WINFIELD SOOTT, elevates captains into colonels and colonels into gene rals because of worth and proficiency in the profession of arms. We shall be glad if the Secretary of the Navy instructs the chiefs of the bureaus of the Navy Department to follow this grand example. The subjoined:extracts from reports made to the Bureau of Ordnance and llydrography will show that Commander DAHLGREN, nearly ten years ago, called the attention of the Go. vernment to the necessity of providing Tided cannon for the public service, and that long years before the French Government clothed the La Gloire in iron armor he reported in favor of that defence for our navy. The chiefs of the bureaus, however—nearly all Southern men—impressed alike by envy of him, and preparing for the great calamity which has subsequently befallen us, hid his recommenda tions in the pigeon-holes of their offices, and thus kept him from the promotion he well de served. At this moment the whole Govern ment—indeed, the civilized world—pays tri bute to the genius of DAIII6OIIO. While tem porarily suffering because of the withdrawal of the traitors Bucusiren, IsoitArrsii, and others, we are now realizing for the first time the wonderful inventions of this modest, up right, and gallant Pennsylvanian. State pride demands that he should not be allowed longer to be neglected. We do not ask as a favor that he should be promoted in the navy, but because he deserves it as a right. We extract from public documents recently published by the Government : " The penetrating power is a different matter. The rifle projectile has it far beyond any round pro jeotile ever used at sea; but for the same reason it pulses through an objeot with far less shook, and in that respect is, therefore, inferior to the round projectile, as it most certainly is in rico ohet. "The suggestions which I now beg leave to sub mit to the bureau may be summed thus: "Ist. Mount on every , gun deck armed with 9-ineh guns, four rifled cannon of 0 inch, throwing shot of 80 pounds, referred to in this report, and on every spar deck two of like class. 21. The rifled cannon of 5-inch (50 pounder) may be mounted in batteries carrying guns of less than 9 inch calibre. '• 3d. Every vessel entitled to more than one boat howitzer, to have - one rifled 12. pounder of 800 pounds. "4sh. Two more furnaces to be put up in the ordnance foundry, so as to allow of the seating of the heaviest rifled cannon " OBLINANOI OFFICE, Munn STaTsa Elevr YARD, WAIIHMTON, December 10, 1880. " Bin r The earnest attention now given by naval authorities to the armature of ships-of-war, and the enormous expenditure which England and France are incurring in building ships of this de so iption, induce me to reeall to the attention of the bureau the suggestions made by me on this subject several years ago. " In 1852 after a series of practice anon the hull of the United States steamer "Witter Wite/e, princi pally with 9 inch shells at 500 yards, I made a report of the facts to the bureau, and, in oonolu sion. affirmed the possibility of guarding vessels against the dangerous action of heavy shells." The project suggested by me in 1852 was to use ribs. in connection with snail a thickness of eoal within as the case permitted; and as round pro jeatiles were alone in vogue, I have no doubt that these, when properly arranged, would have been effeottlid. "If rifled prejeotitea are, however, introduced into the batteries of ships. this form of armature will:no doubt be less effectual; and I therefore have now suggested the addition of interior plates, so that the prrjeetiles which may reach them shall be diverted from the more vital parts; and the in ner bulkheads of the bunkers can be made to serve this purpose. "1l however, the ribbing should be found to be useless against the rifled pPpotile, then I propose to substitute a system or amoceb_piates. corrugated or grooved, so as to take advantage of the - gtatr. • property of the rifled shot or shell."

WLIIIIINGTON, June 16,1861. Evacuation and Occupation of gar- The Government department received despatch es late last night, from Point of Roche, giving a full account of the evacuation of Harper's retry by the Confederate troops, and arrival there of the advance column of the Federal army, moving via Chambersbnrg. The troops landed on the Virginia side of the Ferry at two o'clock, F. Dd, Saturday. 7 bey passed over to the town, and found it nearly deso late. There was nothing of value left, and the village and surrounding country presented a for bidding and dreary upset. There was not a soli tary soldier visible. The bettor class of houses were all closed, and the only individuals on the streets were a few of the poorer classes, whose poverty compelled them to remain in the ruins. Thei.arzoory buildings, magazine, and engine houses are saved, only became their destruetion would isopardise other property, which it was desirable to preserve. Three ears of grain and eLffse. marked "Miller Winohestar," and left for the engine to haul, were thrown Into the river, probably for want of sufficient steam to get them away. gice tracks marked "Itteltmond,] l and leaded with ma ehinery and papers, stand in front of the hotel. The "boys" fished fifty flint look muskets out of the river near the armory, and they have obtained some old bayonets, and pieces of muskets, to re tain as mementoes. There was nothing left of any value. The physician, who it appears remained behind the retreating column, reported 50 eoldiere from the MindenWl and Alabama troops doh with menden. The troops were twenty.four hours behind the time they were ordered to evacuate, and they Were only ten mitre out toirerds Winchester when our Men entered, or an hour before they entered; and at Point of Rooks sixty-four cavalry were reported still there, on the oppoeite side of the Potomac. One of Jomrson'a eta informed our troops that it was reported flannel ecorr was going to take Winchester, and fortify it, and cut them off;'and that their object was to get previous possession, and bo reinforced from Riobmond. The men are oddly uniformed, as suited their fanny or the purse of the State from which they came. No Stde-arins ware allowed in the cump, except for commissioned officers The Kentucky and Mississippi troops said they came to light, and were eager to go up and take Washington on their own amount. The Inhabitants are rejoicing at the evacuation. A small piece of the Confederate flag, raised in April, remains on the flag-staff ; there is no other flag of any kind in the plum. A young man came down at 0 o'clock, from the Relay House, with a sword and two trunks—the latter evidently tilled with perettssion caps, as their weight would indicate. He said he was going to Richmond. where he was in command of a company of Baltimore men. Our troops found 15.000 to 20.000 musket barrels piled up in the ashes of the buildings burned in April, We retired to Point of Rooky at & P. M. Gen. McDowell's Command. The works on the Virginia aide of the river, op polite our City, are progressing rapidly. The find attraction, after passing the Long Bridge, is the extensive and magnificent forts erected by the four New Jersey regiments on the high grounds south of the Columbia Springs. There were thine forts--large, formidable, and mounted with twenty 82 pounders and 8 inch howitzers. The works are in a forward condition, and will be completed in four or five days, Major Barman and Liellfil. PRIME and ROBlllit, of the United States engineer corps, were in Com mand, and supported the works—the four regi ments from New Jersey putting in with an energy that does them great credit. The rotund cannon are mounted to range over the broad expanse of fields lying southwest of the forts; and, though silent, they have undoubtedly had much to do with the evacuation of Harper's Ferry. No army mild pass them, and J.IEFF awls knows it The inva don of the pity, with Forte Runyon, as they IMF milled, and Fort Corcoran, near Georgetown, com manding the heights along the Virginia aide of the river, is an impossibility, and will not be at temptiA. The Citylnfirmary, now used as a military hos pital, contains one hundred and four patients, only three of whom are considered dangerously ill.

Oa a visit to Alexandria, last evening, your re porter found there the Pennsylvania Fifth, the Zouaves, the Michigan First, and. the Maseastu setts Fifth regiments, with Elhenssan'e battery r six pieces. They were all on brigade parade, and wade an imposing appearance. They were in tine oondition, with but four in the hospital. The ad vance pickets, on one occasion, and the guards in the city on another, within a day or two, have been fired upon in the night, and the fire returned, without a fatality on either side. The rumor of the cutting up of Col. STolueic column had reached the city, and caused a Sensation till contradicted. I returned by way of Arlington Heights, where the impregnable Port Corcoran loomed up in solid proportions, and the heavy " growlers" were in position and ready for duty. This noble regiment have performed a herculean labor, and halm nearly completed the defences, with not a sick soldier on the list. They were at supper. President Lin cox and secretary Salvino had but a few hours before left the camp from a recent visit to the fort, and a walk round among the men, apparently sur prised and delighted at the progress of the works The fortifioations being nearly completed, a msg. sive oak-walled block house is in progress nearer the river.

June 16, P M.—A reconnoissance of the littnipshire and Loam:in railroad was made to-day, extending two miles beyond Vienna, which is fifteen miles north of Alexandria. The train was under charge of Col. Powers, accompanied by the First Connecticut troops, under command of Bri gadier General Tyler. It was reported that the fourth bridge but recently reconstructed was burn ed last night, but all the bridges were found safe and the train returned. When two miles this aide of Vienna, a man fired on the train front an ambush, wounding George Civilise, of the Conneotieut Light Guards. Gen. Tyler was standing by the aide of the wounded man on an open oar, and the shot was evidently in tended for him. • The train was stopped, and the companies divi ded, and enured the woods, marohed the neigh boring farm-bottom; eta , making a oironit of a mile. Two men were arrested. Their names are Walker and Maids, and were found in the bonito at the latter. Alt the evidence that could be ob tained tended towards oriminating Walker, who, with other prisoners and a negro witness, was brought to Alexandria. The train was within three miles of 900 rebel troops, and six miles from Pain ax Court nous'', where it is understood there are 2,500 troops, be sides resent arrivals. On reaching Arlington Mills the train met with a party of cavalry and infantry, who had set out to examine the truth of the rumor that the Federal troops had been attacked and the bridges burnt, cutting of their retreat. This was a cur rent rumor in Alexandria this afternoon, and it was only set at rest by the arrival of the train, after an absence of half a day. A Fhtladelphian, who had been within a mile slid a half Of Fairfax Court House, also met the train at Arlington Mills, bringing information that troops were arriving .there .2roui Manassas Junc tion. lie stated that he was standing on a hill near Fairfax, and heard drums beating, and saw a mamba of tants - , when he thought it best to re- Another report sayilhiee companies arrived at Fairfax this morning.

ALEMODRIA, JUDO I.3.—Mr. Diokine, who has beim a prisoner here for some days—having been arrested at his farm house in this violnity—was released this afternoon by an order from the War Department, it having been ascertained that his arrest was entirely unwarranted. The informer againet Mr. Dinkins was a youth of, to say the least, a suspicious character, he having been him self under arrest for horse stealing and other alleged crimes. Mr. Dlokins is a son of the vane rable Asbury Dickies, seeress; of the tr. Senate. In order to guard against other errors of this sort, a general order has been issued to the Government troops in relation to their treatment of Masons, and providing that no arrests are to , be made unless by the special order of an officer. A drafts parade of all the troops was held this afternoon. They were drawn ttp in line in front of the headquarters, and were reviewed by Cob Heintaelmim.

SAIIDT Moos, hid June 15,12 M.—& person who 'left Harper's Perry half an hour ago states that town has been entirely deserted by the ruilttazy. Another luessepiger contradicts this, and states that a large body are cot stationed et &liver, 4 mile baok of the Terry. All the Government buildings are entirely deT stroyed, with the exception of one storehouse, the blacksmith shop, and• the rifle works, which were spared so as not to jeopardise private !property. The bridge across the Shenandoah has also been spared. American flap are flying at Berlin and Knox !villa. Martinsburg is said to bs °coupled by a large force of United !Mates troops. Martinsburg is in Virginia, some miles from the Potomae, and on the Baltimore and Ohio Builromt. The troops there hays probably come by railroad from Cumberland. Martinsburg is only nineteen miles west of Harper's Ferry. The troops at Martinsburg eap easily come on there, and there will only be the crossing of the river at the Ferry to obstruct travel between Wheeling and Washipgton. Further Details of Affairs at Harper's Ferry. Heunnsvowls. June 14.,..-The Assoolated Press e;press from Ilarper'a Perry returned here late last night, and reported as follows : He was at the latter place several hours in the afternoen. 4.11 the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad buildings except twp had bean burned ; also, the tread work for three hundred yards, oonneoting with the bridge over the Potomac. The bridge over the Shenandoah was L ida standing. Pampa walked along the opal, on the Maryland ode of the riTer, yithoFt, being dyed upon putter day. A few sentinels remained along the river shore. The two camps on the heights, containing about six hundred men of the remaining forte, were va cated to night, and followed the main body to wards Winchester. The larger part (say fourteen thousand) of the, troops stationed at Harper's rerry, go southward to ,pin Resiuresard'S and .1 4 , 10 , 3 forces, and the smaller body, it is believed, will march to join Henry A. Wise at Romney, who ft is understood will march to oppose the advance Of Ckeneral McClellen'a polumn from the West. Oovernor Wise has three thousand men at Staunton, one regiment of which has already marened. Great *umbers of email arms, said to be at least one thousand, were thrown into the river by the rebels, and also their atmontrements, and burs a$ men are amusing then selyes by diving for them. The town wears a desolate appearance. Some of the large pus were removed only td* miles tip the k.henandoali, an 4 there abandone4. It was reported at Usrper's ferry that the 101/9- motives of the Baltimore and Ohio liaiiroad, be- low the Optquen bridge had been burnt, and also tbos. at Martinsburg, numbering at both places upwards of Seventy. The Virginia pickets who have been absent two days at a point opposite Williamsport have re turned to-night. , sx• Governor Manning, of Smith Carolina, brought the order to evacuate Harper's Perry. The express saw the Scott Legion on the march to-day and also the First City Troop Roth looked well and were in good health. The Philadelphia troops reached here safely. There are, on the whole line in Virginia, about fear thousand men in the company's employ, many of whom are thrown out of employment by the action of the State and the effects of the war. The turnpike bridge, on the mouth of the She naadosh, is also to be burned, according to the report. Every night some further destruction may be done, as no United States troops are in eight, or reported as being near, to prevent it. IikOrII.OTOWN, Jena 16 —Several pickets were thrown across the Potomac, last night, opposite Willientsport. The first division, under General Oadwalader, crossed to-day, the troops gallantly wading the stream up to their waists in water, covered by two pieces of the Rhode Island battery, which were planted on a bluff near Williamsport. Information deemed reliable has been received here to-day, stating that the rebels abandoned Leenbarg after burning ail the oars and looomo- Oyes there belonging to the Alexandria, Hampshire, and Loudoan Railroad terminating there. This was probably induced by a knowledge of the ap proaoh of Col. Stone's column by way of Edward's Ferry, and the fact that the Federal forces from Alexandria had rebuilt the bridges, stocked that end of the road, and had a telegraph completed to a distance of 15 miles towards Leesburg. Gov. Hicks arrived here this fOrenoon, to eon' snit with Gen, Patterson. He visited the camp, and was received with cheers by the various bri gades_ At the Washington Rouse, where be is staying, he was repeatedly oalled upon for a speech, but declined to address them on the Sab bath, promising, however, to gratify them to morrow. He was socially oalled upon by many of the citizens to-day. It may not be inopportune to publish the fol lowing information, for the benefit of correspond ents: Letters for the First City Troop, of Patla delphla, and the Rhode Island regiments, should be direoted to Willitsmsport, Md.; Col. Rainer's, and the Seventh, Eighth, Tenth, Fourteenth, Fif teenth, and Twenty.fourth Pennsylvania regi ments, at Hagerstown, Md. Assother Report from Harper's Ferry- Balen3loltll, June coereepetcleni of the American writes from Harper's Ferry that the rear guard left there at soon yesterday, and that last night the army was encamped on Shirley's hill, near Charleatown, on which John' Brown was hung, and nine miles from the Ferry. A full regiment of 1,000 men crossed the She nandoah, and proceeded towards Leesbnr.g but they may have taken a side road leading to Win chester. The batteries of powerful guns, said to have been erected in the mountains on the Virginian side, had no existence There was bat one battery of email guns on the heights, commanding the bridge, all of which have been carried aff. The Secession ists alleged that the three car loads of coffee and sugar stopped there, from the Wed, were found to contain strychnine and were emptied into the river. None of the Mere of the bridge are damaged, and it ID expeeted the enginees will be able to put tip battle wort won, and travel be resumed in three or four daye. The reported destruction of locomotives is said not to be true. The "Union men of Martinsburg dhabled the engines before the arrival of the re bels, and the engineers ran off, refusing to work them. AU the inhabitants, excepting about twen ty, had abandoned the town, expecting great battle to take place there. Those that remained were intense Union men, and they deolared that, having been compelled to suppress their senti ments so long, it was a positive relief to be able to nurse the rebels, and enoh cursing was never heard before. Different opinions are entertained as to the cause of the sudden evacuation. It is said that Gan. Beauregard pronounted the place indefensible, and liable to be ent off and the troops starved Others say that they will entrench themselves and make a stand at Charlestown; but the general opinion is that they are on their way to Manassas Gap. The °Moors' quarters at the Ferry were not destroys& but the people expected that they would be back to-night to complete the devasta tion. A number of Union men, including one New Yorker, had been detained there for two weeks, but ware liberated after tie evacuation. From Fortress Monroe. Formosan Mossos.

The stfsir of the Naval Brigade is culminating. Some fifty of them yesterday received their naval aecoutrements, and probably not three hundred of them wilt remain. They complain of army pay, having been promised twenty dollars per month. Latest trom Fortress Monroe. Foirrstass Monuou, June 15, tna Baltimore.— The steamship illahatnts arrived here this morning with Col. Max Prober's German regiment. They go into encampment near the village of Hampton. Among the fifteen additional regiments expected at Fortress Monroe are an efficient corps of artil lery from Fort Mollanry and a regiment of mount ed rrflemen. The latter are greatly needed to operate against the Virginia light horse. On the arrival of these regiments the troops now here will extend their lines several miles further from the fortress, and the Peninsula will soon become an immense entrenched camp. Telegraphic; communioation is about being opened with the several camps. The artesian well has been stank one hundred feet. Mesta are also being employed to bring a large supply of fresh water from Hampton. Mr. Camp, of New York, is now here for that purpose. The headquarters of General Butler, quarter, master TellOtadga, and Commissary Taylor are daily crowded by an army of defunct politicians, place-seekers importunate contractors, and ma dolt individu als, with very large axes to grind. every stranger must take the oath of allegianee on landing, and a sharp look-out is kept for con traband articles. A gnat part of the clothing furnished the New York volunteers k nearly worn out. Paper gar• melds would have served nearly as well.

Cuanwensnuna, June 15 —General Patterean's meagerly management in fitting out his command, and putting it in full discipline before he moved, has had its effect, and the division Is now in full march towards Williamsport. On the other side, the enemy have evacuated Harper's Ferry, and are retreating southward. Our troops are also pouring into Hagerstown, and from thence towards the Virginia line opposite that point. By means of spies, the rebels, learning the fine condition of General Patterson's command, became demoralised and evacuated. To the General's good judgment, aided by an intelligent and energetic staff who succeeded in concentrating, disciplining, and out fitting an overwhelming force with the greatest expedition and secrecy, may be attributed, in a groat measure, the evacuation of flarpor's Ferry.
