but all demonstration was promptly checked
by the guard—lndiana men, who bad been
prisoners in Dixie, and who had been de

through the South. They thought the "rebe"
particularly fortunate in being transported,
instead of being compelled to foot it, as was

PREPARATIONS for DEFENCE
OUR FORCES INTRENCIIED IN YORK
COUNTY.
'r 1: BRIDGE IS To BE. DEFENDED
Monday morning our people were
starti.ni 11 the intelligence that the Rebels
had cros-iql the Potomac in force, after de
feating Gen. Milroy at Winchester, and
were about to invade Pennsylvania. Ur
gent calls from the Governor upon the peci
ple of Pennsylvania to take up arms in de .
fence of the State were received by tele
graph. A committee of citizens of Colum
bia proceeded to Harrisburg by the Mail
train to consult the authorities as to the no.
cessity and advisability of defending the
bridge. General Couch decided that every
crossing. by bridge or ford, of the Susque
hanna, should be defended if possible, and
that the Columbia bridge was so important
a point as to demand most energetic defen
sive measures on the part of the citizens of
this town and vicinity. General Couch, in
the following Special Orderappointed Capt.
C. C. fieldsman to command at this point:
DRADV{RTEMS OF TRY DEPARTMENT}
OF TUE SI:sQUEOANNA, June 15, 1863.
Captain C. 0. -Haldeman, of Columbia,
Pa., is hereby authorized to raise troops and
assume command of the same, for the de
fense of Columbia, Pa., the Bridges, Darns,
and Fords in the Susquehanna river in the
vicinity.
By order of D. W. Couch, Major General
Commanding.
Upon receiving notice of his appointment
Captain Iliddeman at once called upon the
citizens to organize fur service. An im
pronaptu force was got together for duty dur
ing Monday night, which was disposed to
the best advantage fur patrol and outpost
duty upon the turnpike and other approaches
to Wrightsville, armed with Harper's Ferry
muskets, 200 of which, with ammunition,
were procured by the committee. On Tues
day two companies of infantry were organ
ized under Captains John Peart and .Noah
Keeney, and a considerable number of
mounted men, unorganized, reported for
scouting and outpost duty. A number of
citizens, without any regular organization,
also reported for guard duty on the bridge
and elsewhere. By th e Rending and Colum
bia Railroad the same evening, a fine com
pany of men from the vicinity of Litiz, gen
erally armed with their own weapons, un
der command of Captain Seable, arrived
bore, They were marched to the Town
Hall where their own arms were exchanged
for the State arms procured from Harris
burg. The whole force performed duty on the
York conty side of the river, as on Monday
evening, being, as then, under command of
Capt. G. 11. Edelman. The outposts were
some six miles from the river, and scouts
were sent to York during the night. The
citizens there were fount entirely tranquil,
and our forces were undisturbed.
On Weinestlay Captains Cos and Nevin,
tom companies from Lancaster report
ed for doty to Captain Haldeman. Th e
tole day earthworks fur the denfense of the
approaches to Wrightsville were located by
gentlemen appointed for that purpose by
Call. Haldeman, and Juhn Sheaff, Esq.,
Chief Engineer of the I: and Colum
bia Railroad, staked out the work for the
laborers who worked in the treneliii all
night. Thu working, pasty consisted of over
one hundred negroes from Tow Hill, divided
into reliefs. They have dune excellent ser
service, and the cheerfulness with which
they shouldered the pica and shovel is in
contrast with the reluctance displa3ed by
many of our whiter citizens to shoulder the
musket.
On Thursday our forces were additionally
increased by the arrival of Companies of
Capt. Wickersham, Millerstown, Capt. Wm.
Aug. Atlee, Lancaster, Capt. Redsecka,
Enterprise, Copt. Jacobs, Churchtown and
New Rolland, and Capt. E. K. Young, of
[Ancestor, with a battery of artillery. We
should have mentioned that on Wednesday
the handsome rifled piece manufacturer:hind
owned by Supplee & Bro.. of the Columbia
Manufacturing Company's Shops, was plant
ed at the entrance of the Columbia Bridge.
The work an the entrenchments was stead
ily continued, and the preparations for a
determined resistance should the Rebels
make a dash in this direction are still being
pushed with vigor.
Oa Thursday afternoon Gen. Win. B.
Franklin, accompanied by Major Railer, 7tb
111!S.:1afantry, now detailed as Aid on Gen.'
Couch's staff, and in cons mend at York, in
spaced the position an the other side. Geo.
Franklin pronouoced the site selected for
defense unexceptionable, and the defen
sive works well-planned and properly con
structed. Re complimented the forces on
the ground, and the officers in command.
In addition to the works thrown up on
the York County side. the hands of the Co
lombia Rolling Mill have erected breast
works opposite the abutment of the Comma-
We dam. oa the Lancaster county side.—
Portonatelythe river is so bigh as to forbid
any attempt -to cross on the darn breast;

and deserves the thanktruf his fellow citi
zens.
As to the future of the "raid," we are a'
much in the dark as our neighbors. We
believe that upon the impending battle be
tween Lee and Hooker depends the future
character of the Rebel inroad. Up it, this
time it has rintply been a dtish of cavalry,
who, in iiiirsuituf Niiiroy 'l4 retreating trains,
found a def , riceleqs and rich country which
they nave hurried with impunity. Shall
Lee make gond hie advance in despite of
Hooker's counter advance and atta c k, w e
may look out fur the shock of battle on the
banks of the Susquehanna. If Hooker, on
the contrary, either defeat or check Lee, then
the devastation of Pennsylvania, and the fa
vorite design of the Rebels—to bring the
horrors of war home to the Northern peo
ple—will fail forever.
It is well in this dilemma to make ourselves
as safe as possible against the worst; and
as Gen. Couch considers this point one like
ly to be menaced in case of an advance of
the enemy In force, every man should lend
his entire energies towards putting the po
sition in as forward a state of defence ae
possible. We have made a lair beginning,
and if the Rebels do not come in overwhelm
ing numbers, are even now ready to give
them a wiestle fur the bridge. We will
fight for it before we will burn it,

Select, reliable and energetic officers, or '

Ma. EDITOR—I bog though your paper to
invite the citizens of the town to send their
papers, after they themselves have read
them; to the sick-soldiers at Odd Fellows'

the most to read the daily papers, and then
by most families they 'are thrown aside.—
Now, suppose those persons who do not file
their papers were, after reading them,
send them, (the same day if possible.) to the

While I ate upon this subject, I beg to
suggest still further that tracts, pamt.bletts
and.books would be of rerrico to these inva
lids, and it is to be hoped that the citizens
will do all the good io this respect which it
is in their power to do. Soldiers have minds
and souls as well as bodies, and whilst their
material necessities should be generally
supplied, surely their mental and spiritual
ones should not be neglected. Those who
servo the soldier serve the nation which em
ploys him; patriotism and humanity here
are one.

A large fire is seen in,the direction of
Greencastle.
Lieutenant Palmer reports the column at
Greencastle to be 5000 strong, principally
consisting of cavalry, supported by infantry
and artillery.
GENERAL. IVIILROY 7 8 RETREAT
BALTIMORE, June 15.—The American's
special report from Harper's Ferry says that
General Milroy succeeded in cutting his way
through the rebel lines, and reached there
this morning, after evacuating Winchester.
The fighting was very desperate, and we
repulsed the rebels repeatedly with heavy
loss; but finally they were largely reinforc
ed, and Milroy made his arrangements on
Sunday to abandon Winchester, finding that
the rebels were endeavoring to closely in
vest the place. He lost considerably over
2000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners.

Governor Curtin and General Couch arc
working night and day. On'the receipt of
this news the Governor ordered the belle

BALTIMORE, June 17.—Reliable informa
tion relative to the invasion is'tbat a small

Johnston at Canton And . Yagno City.
WASHINGTON, June; 16.7-Official advices
,
from Vicksburg, dated th e 11th inst., have
been received here. :They are of the moat'
cheering general character.
Our artillery and mortars continue at ;in
tervala to play upon theft - 4n;
Three ••fecuales,„put • outside. the city- by-
Gen. Pemberton, assert that the garrison is
short of ammunition, and provisions are
scarce and not to be bought at any price.••••—•
The garrison is subsisting on quarter ra
time, mainly emsisting of corn meal and
• —•
peas. - -
The women and children seek shelter in
caves from our shot and shell, which fall
heavily on the pity, and consequently few
lives are lost among them.
The enemy occupies Canton and Yazoo
City in considerable force..' •
HOOKER'S POSITION.
The whereabouts of the main army of
looker cannot be definately stated. The
line of the Rappahannock, has been aban
doned, but the railroad from Falmouth to
AqUin Creek is not destroyed, nor has any
property been sacrificed except such as it
would not be profitable to take away.—
Everything at the creek is still preserved,
and is under the protection of our gunboats.
