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. NAVAL FIGHT REPORTED. PROBABLY TIIE "FLORIDA" ENGAGED. f Fouthkm Hokhoc, July 11.

Tho UilBouItv In re gnrd to ihe mustering of (ho militia responding to tne can for one hundred days' scrv lea still continues to exist here. 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.
