Washington, July Hi. Ileyond the steady
advance of nnr columns In the ilireetlon of Kl-
wards' Ferry, Fume thiity miles from Washing,
ton, nt which point the ltehels crossed into Vir
ginia, nothing is to ho o! nerved worth recording.
Through the country between that point and
thicity,at the present time, everything Ik unist.
On the Ilnckvillo road, no recently the scene of
svtive operations, nothing Ii to he observed, ex
cept the occasional pnssagc of a wngon, and here
and there a strangling soldier.
Wo have the country still picketed about three
Wiles beyond Tonallytown During the fighting
through tho streets of Rorkville, on Wednesday
last, the citirenj took refuge for safety In the
eellnin of their houses. The town was unin
jured, with the exception that a few houses were
struck by bullets.
General Ord was at Tenallytown yesterday
afternoon, and funeral Wright was said to be at
PooIrSTllle. During the fight at Rockvill we
lost two killed and thirty wonnded. No doubt
seems to exist thut the Rebels passed through
Aldle, and have effected their escape through
Asltky's Gap.
The last of the Rebels crossed the river abont
daylight yesterday morning, consisting of a rear
guard of fifteen hundred cavalry. Their rear had
had a smart f kirnilsh with our advance. Before
ten o'clock yesterday morning we occupied Kd
wards' Ferry in considerable force, and troops
pouring in that direction. Tho latest from
the front indicates that tho invaders have suc
ceeded in gaining tho mountain pusses.

It has already created much hoiirtburiiinj and
disappointment nmong the hardy yeomanry whs
are uocking to tbe defense of our border.
That the whole matter may be fully under
stood, it is ouly necessary to state tho order of
the War Department, viz :
"No fractions of companies can. bo mustered
iiuo mo service.
This order is rigidly adhered to by the com
manding ollleir at this post, the result of which
is tb at there ure more thiiu 2000 troops hero, in
compai ies from of 25 to 75. If these men wore
mustered In they would bo consolidated Into
companies-, after allowing their olllcers time lo
recruit them to the maximum strength; but
under Hit present condition of the order Uoted,
their service is lost to the Government, aud they
ate fat becoming demorallied.
This stntemeut is due to Governor Curtin, as
many of the. volunteers and their friends imigino
(bat he is responsible for tbe present state of af
fairs. The contrary is tbe case, as be has ex
hausted every appeal and all tbe resources at bis
command to secure tho mustering of the troops
now hero with a view to the encouragement of
Ihe volunteering of a still larger number.
