0,8 exquoria, SATITRDA.X;JULY 11, 186 S ACCITMST AT TUE COL L'31.11 891.1.1 NG lifitt,.—The tremendous crash beard at the upper end of town on Tags. day morning last, was caused by the breaking of the immense Fly Wheel in the .1011ing dill of Alaltby Case. The Wheel, which weighs twenty _two or three tuna, was under full headway at'the time, and the fragments were hurled i in all directions, with the velocity of light ning. Fuctunately, most of the men had started for breakfast, and so far as we could learn. but:one man, John Klingbell, was in jured—had they been at work many lives would have been lost. How long it will take to repair the damages we are unable to say, bat, have been _informed that a ;month will be required to pat the mill in running order. THE SKIRMISH BEYOND I74IgHTS- VILLE 175 rgELy/NARIES AND SUP.EQUEN79 The last few . weeks have been replete with ecente of thrilling interest. As the scene of war and bloodshed has changed from the Rappahannock accuse the Potomac to ,the Sustrebaona, and the tide of battle has wapiti forth and back, many , have been the hopes and fears ticbieh swelled in loyal hearts. The appointment and general order from Gen. ; Couch am; the President's call for 200,000 militia, augured danger, and the reports of the Rebels marching hitherenri, in three culumus WO() strong, were truly elarming and "Enough in .ter n reveci , i 111,49 , 1 of var..

Haldeman (June foth) . was appointed commander of this port. The bells were rung and the people summoned to arms. In the evening arms ;Ind ammu nition arrived and several companies formed, crossed the bridge, and were stationed be yond to foil the Rebels in any sudden rail. On every road came the yeomanry of Lancaster county whom Maj.

J C. Erick, with the 27th Regiment P. V. relieved Mo . ). Il•tidenuut and the emergency men. In a day or two men with horses and oth• er valuables Ileeing from the invading hosts began to come over the bridge and with each hour their number increased. On Friday the news came that the Rebels had pounced upon and captured some of Maj. dialler's forces at Gettytburg and that Long,street's Carps was advancing in this direction. On Saturday we learned that the Rebels were at Ifanover and that they had cut the tele graph and burned a tralo_of_cars at liana yer Junction, on the N. C. Railway, 10 miles below York. The merchants non• began to pack and phip their goods, lest they might become !'n-id and comfort" for the enemy. About 8 o'clock on Saturday evening the Pity Troop dashed into Columbia and re ported that York had surrendered to the en emy. The bells were rung and the men of the town were ordered to take arms, when several companies, without distinction of party, crossed over the bridge and took po sition at the rifle pits beyond Wrightsville. Paring Saturday night there were many sleepless eyes in Columbia. The enemy, reported 35,000 strong, within a day's march of a coveted point without an adeTtate force ,to defend it, was a circumstance calculated to stir all susceptible of proper feelings. Oa Sunday morning sumo additional artillery arrived but no artillery mon, and a report, purporting to come from official sources, paying, that if Cul. Frick would hold his po sition till morning reinforcements would sent, was circulated and generally credited. ft was consequently reported that Gen. Dix was coming from Philadelphia with parcel his forces, and many anxiously expected ttowever, the day full of anxiety and excitement, slowly wore away. Early in the afternoon some of our scouts came ie and reported having seen the Rebels enter York at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, and this was so= followed by oar videttee. an nouncing the near approach of the Rebels. As soon as it was confirmed that a strong force of Rebels were approaching, a party carpenters, ender g. K. Smith and Relit. crane, Esqe, were set to work to cut a con• ple of spans of the bridge about two-thirds ;term, so that it could be blown up and the Rebels he prevented from crossing. Cap:. M. di. Strickler had placed the picket lines in as to guard all the approaches to Wrights •ille, Rebels eluded one on the right by passing to the west and east and then south through a ravine, and thus flanking parties approached within a short distance of the left centre of our rifle pits, where the p-in g ieuddenly commenced about six o'clock. A brisk skirmish ensued nn our left and front, during which time the Rebels could 1./3 seen melting up the hills to the left through the , woods and wheatfields.-- As the rebels advanced, our skirmishers All back, and tho firing. which was pretty constant with an occasional colley, extend ed from our right to the rear of our left Dank. After the skirmish had progressed some ten or fifteen minutes, Major dialler ordered the drum corps to the bridge and directed the citizens of Wrightsville ro take tefuge within briok, walls, as a retreat and fight through the streets was quite probable. Shortly after the cavalry (Gettysburg and ,City Troop) slowly withdrew towards the bridge and as the firing indicated that the rebels were advancing along the railroad, it vras.tb.mghr the morernent was intended to checkmate any advance from that quer (ter. fn the meantime, the party of carpenters ;were making herculean efforts to prepare for blowing up a span nr two of the bridge, tad the bold front which Frick, with b9t.a (.bandful'of men made, delayed the enemy land gave our men more title. About tea minutes before 7 o'clock, the front line, sta tioned some distance beyond the gate on the pike, delivered a heavy volley and retired, and the rebels advanced a battery to within five hundred yards of the gate, placing one section on the pike and mection on the 'other side. While this was going on, Col. Frieic commenced drawing in his flanks, the men taking up their line of march slowly towards the bridge. At three minutes to seven o'clock, wh—i—z carmen shell, which bursted directly over Wrightsville. This accelerated the movements of the retreating troops, and, as the cannonade was rapid and the enemy's fire enfiladed the street leading to the bridge the retreat was hazardous and it is a matter of gratitude that no one was seriously injured or killed. Col. Frick made a. successful retreat while the enemy fired abuut - forty rounds. The Wrightsville end of the bridge was barri naded. with ore care, a small opening being left threts,git which our men passed. All the troops except some of Colonel Thomas' 20th Regt., having withdrawn across the bridge, the rebels being, close on their heels, the match was applied to the mine but failed to accomplish its object. The object was to destroy a span or two of the bridge and defend the rest. To this end cannon had been platted under Captain Stevens and volunteer artillerymen from the hospital so as to rake the bridge. Bat owing to the suddenness of the 'rebel op prouch this was not accomplished and as Gen. Couch had ordered that " in no case tutt , t the enemy lie allowed to cross the Sus quehanna, the torch wits upplied by military :stathetity, and the coveted prize, for which the rebels so skilfully mancevered and which wits sit essential t o their schemes of inva sion, Was given to the flames, the rebel ad v.anec on being thus finally checked. The rebels tried to extinguish the dames. but-soon the crackling limes rolled toward either end. The will bore up stream, the Columbia fire engines were bu sily engaged to save a part of the bridge. But in vain. The whole bridge was con sumed, burning during the night, and as spun after sport fell into the water, they floated away like so many burning ships. Daring the eveuing and night many of the citizens left taking with them such value bles and necessaries as they could, dreading a fire front the ;ember or a steeling from the Robs. The nest morning it was thought that the CJnteplerated were planting batteries to shell the place. Martial law proclaimed and the citizens tore impressed to dig rifle pits and erect batteries along the river bank. In the afternoon, a boat with a flog of truce approached from 'Wrightsville, which many thought was a demand for a surren der, but to the joy of all, the boat contained citizens who announced that the rebels had withdrawn and the smoking railroad bridges indicated that they had gone toward York. Many, however, thought that they had moved toward Ilarrishurg to co-operate with Ewell in an attack on that post. We eubsepiontly learned that the advance was led by Oen."Viorden with 9 pieces of ar tillery and two brigades of Early's Division, Longstreets Corps, one of which ho led into action, holding the other in reserve while Cul- Frick hod bet SO(' poorly desciplined men. Little did we think that while we were in dread, combinations were in progress some 50 miles distant, calculated to checkmate all Lee's bchemes of invasion and to hurl back his legions in a crippled and disorgan ized condition. Though the bridge is a great loss, its de struction saved the garden spot of the State front being dc-plated and prevented Lee from crossing his army over the Susquehan na, compelling Meade to Edlow in his wake. The show of fight made at Wrightsville. induced the rebels to send a heavy force in this direction, and the celerity with which the-Army of the Potomac moved compelled Leo to tight before he could concentrate all his forces. When the history of our great victory at Getty-burg comes to be written , this little _skir.nish will be found to bare sustained an important relation, and with no swill degree of complacency will those men r. 1..) eo faithfully watched the reb3l approach. reflect on the part they perforat ed in the drama.

Re serves left Upton's mu on Thursday after noon, the 25th ult., and marched out the Alexandria and Leesburg Turnpike six miles, where they met the Ist Brigade. On Friday they went to Edwards' Ferry below Balls Bluff, and crossed over the river and encamped at the mouth of the 3.lonocacy several miles beyond. On Saturday marched to within two miles of Frederick city. Sunday j marched north in the direction of Uniontown. 3lor.day passed through Liberty and en ' camped one mile beyond Uniontown. On ' Tuesday mnrchod to lfanover. Wednesday to battle field. On Friday they participated in the great battle. The Reserves again covered themselves with glory. Near sun set on that day the rebs drore a regiment of regulars and some others from the ground in confusion. Gen. Crawford hurried upend arrived on the ground just as those troops were repulsed. lie selied a Reg,itnentni 11.1 g and wrapped it around his body, and advancing, told the lot Brigade to follow him, they did so together with the 11th Refit from the 3rd Brigade, and charged on the Rohe and dro , ,e them ink confusion fur hallo mile, tstking their e. , ,10rs and billing great numbers of them. The adram:el po-ithm thus tal.en was de_ terminedly held against all oddq, which enabled the a hole army arterwn rls to gain ground which has been bold. Cal. Fisher took four regiments up a cone shaped moun tain driving in the rebel pickets, and arr ir ed at the summit before a Brigade of them was able to reach it although on the double quick. In fifteen minutes the 3rd Brigade had thrown up a atone fence, loop holed, and four feet high and one fourth of a mile lung from vrlaierh the Robs. up to this time, have bgen noablo,b;l4islodge.lbem The Reserves marched over one liv red miles. In the let regiment is a C.,. pany raked by Hon. E. M. Phenon fro.. Gettys burg. One young man was kill y on his father's farm, upon which most of the bat tle was fought. His father buried him on Saturday morning. It was a taoticable fea ture in this battle, that the Reserves took but few prisoners. The ground over which they made their splended charge was strewn with dead Rebels, nearly all of whom had bayonet wounds. Whilst passing through a wood after the enemy some of the Duck bills observed a rascal in a tree from which he killed, during the day, eleven cannoniers. Smoke was seen issuing from the tree when ever he fired, but he managed to conceal his person. lie threw his gun down and offer ed to care, but Bucktail couldn't see it in that light. He remarked that those who shot from trees he treated differently and shot him dead on the spot. The conduct of the Reserves is the univer sal theme of conversation in the army, all alike meet out to them full praise. On Saturday I passed over the ground upon which the . left wing of the army fought.— The slaughter was terrible. Our victory was decisive, the result of which in detail you doubtless have before this. On the ere ning of the day of battle the period for which a Vermont Regiment enlisted, expired late in the afternoon, it charged a battery and took five guns from the enemy and brought them away. The 2nd Brigade of the Resertes is at Allesandt in, Va. The loss of life in the 3rd Brigade is trifling. owing entirely to the rapid movement of the troops under the lead of the gallant Col. Fisher, who secured the crest of the hill before the robs, who were eadeavoriug to rCach it first.

Major Gee. Ilancock and Brig. Gen Gibbons were wounded. After the repelling of the assault, indica tions leading to a belief that the enemy might be withdrawing, an armed reconnois sance was pushed forward from the left, and the enemy found to be in force. At the present hour all is quiet.

Meade —Four Thousand Rebel Prisoners Cap tured by Gen. Grew. NEW YORK, July G.—A special despatch from Baltimore to the herald Pays: "Eight thousand prisoners have arrived hero, and Gen. Schenck has orders to pre pare for twenty thousand more. "Gen. Couch has formed a junction with Gen- Meade, and the rebels are being slaugh tered and captured by regiments and brig ades. ORDERLY "Not a tenth part of Gen. Lee'a army will be able to reach "Dixie" by the way they came. It is Out only a defeat for Lee, but a total rout:" 13A 1.11310 RE. July 6.—Brig. General (Irrupt reached here at midnight last night, and had an interview with Gen. Schenck up to one o'clock on Sunday. When General Haupt left the headquarters of Gen. Meade the enemy was fleeing. General ikleade's headquarters were at Creagerstown. Md., some Moen miles north of Frederick, and to-day he is nu doubt at Frederick. General llalleck is in possession of recent despatches from General Meade. and from their tone Meade declares that Leo has suf fered a disastrous defeat. The following has been posted at head quarters: Advices from the army up to two o'clock on Sunday afternoon state that Gen. Meade's headquarters were at Creag erstown last night, and were to be in Fred erick to-day. General Meade has telegraph ed that Lee's army is retreating. A despatch which woe received to-night by Gen. Couch states that Gen. Gregg, of of Gen. Pleasonton's Cavalry, hail an en gagement to-day at Fayetteville, in which he took 4000 prisoners. Fayetteville is be tween Cashtown and Chambersburg, on the east of South Mountain. After disposing of his prisoners General Gregg took an interior road and advanced in the direction of Greencastle. The mili tia, under Geo. Smith, are in supporting distance of Gen. Gregg, and rapidly advanc ing up the valley. The veteran troops of the Army of the Potomac moved yesterday after the retreat ing army of Virginia. Their position at the present time is not known here. Deserters from the rebel army, who had fled to the mountains, continue to deliver themselves up in large numbers. The report that 01. Coulter, of the 11th Pennsylvania, was murdered in the streets of Gettysburg by a rebel officer is not true. A person representing himself as General Longstreet's adjutant general, who was cap tured near Hagerstown, on Friday, arrived here to day• lie suites that Longstreet and Lee both opposed the invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania, believing that it would be disastrous. But President Davis would not listen to their objections and gave the ardor for the Avarice. promising to send them 14000 reinforcements, under Beaure ' mud. When the adjutant was captured he was on his way to Culpepper to ascertain what had become of Beauregard's troops, and was very anxious to know whether any one here had any knowledge of them. Gen. Sigel, who arrived here to-day, was serenaded at the Jones' House, and made a speech. Thirty army wagons arrived at Carlisle to-day. They were captured from the ene my near Shippensburg. A gentleman who left Gettysburg last evening states that General Lougstrect is dead, and within our lines. There was every indication that Lee's army would be furced to turn and givo us battle, or surrender. Congratul tory Order of Gen. Meade, HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TUE POTOMAC, NEAR GETTYSBURG. July 4.—The Command ing General, in behalf of the country, thanks the Army of the Potomac fur the glorious result of the recent operations. An enemy, superior in numbers, and flushed with the pride of a successful inva• sion, attempted to overcome or destroy this army. Utterly baffled and defeated, he has now withdrawn from the contest. The privations and fatigues which the army has endured, and the heroic courage and gallantry it has displayed, will be mat• tars of history to be ever remembered. Our•task is not yet accomplished, and the Commanding General looks to the army for greater efforts to drive from our soil every vestigo of the presence of the invader. It is right and proper that we should, on a suitable occasion, return our grateful thanks to the Almighty Disposer of Events, that in the goodness of Ilia providence Ile has thought lit to give victory to the canes of tbe just.

Their skirmishers were driven in last night, and a small cavalry force (probably th e rear guard) passed through Dram ittsburg this morning, about daylight. Our troops have been engaged all day in burying the dead. relieving the wounded and collecting arms, many thousands of which belonged to - the rebels. The rebel pontoon bridge, at Dam No. 4, has been de:. stroyed by our cavalry, who were almost en tirely unpoated. and the cavalry, at the last ed vices, had gone op to Williamsport to de stroy the two bridges there. Other preparations are in progress to is. GENERAL ORDER NO. 08 tercept Lee's passage to the Potomac, and our army is already in motion. So much time, however, has elapsed since Lee commenced to withdraw from our front, that his advance may have reached 'Wil liamsport in time to cross before we can pre vent it. General Lee yesterday paorled about two thousand Union prisoners. They were re calved by General Couch. It is not true, as stated, that Longstreet was captured or ki.lled. • General Hunt, Chief of artillery, was not wounded. Both these reports were at first apparently well authenticated and fully believed: CREICEIISTOWN, July s.—lt is reported here by officers, that on Saturday afternoon our cavalry, under Kilpatrick, intercepted a retreating train of rebel wagons, which were guarded by Jones' brigade of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, near Monterey, on the Ilamrnerstown and Gettysburg road. Ile captured 900 prisoners, including 200 wounded officers, 150 wagons and two guns. The wagons were destroyed. The enemy were completely surprised and unable to make any serious resistance. Firing was heard in the direction of the enemy's retreat ing column yeste;day afternoon, and it was probably caused by our cavalry flying bat teries pressing on th.e enemy's rear. , Lee's Piesent Position Preparing lo Cover his Retreat with a Bat tle— Hurrying Forward our Forces from all Points. Ilannisnonc, July B.—News received to day, by telegraph, by the way of Loudon and Bedford, shows that the main body of Lee's army is between South Mountain and nagerstown. Ile will probably - Select a place between Ilagerstown and the Potomac, to give Gen. Meade battle, as it is utterly impossible for him to reach Virginia. Imboden is at Williamsport, with from 7000 to 10.000 troops, protecting the retrel supply train. Lee's wagon trains are at that point to the number of 4000 or 5000; making their way into Virginia as fast as their limited means will admit. Lee evidently sees that there is no escape for his army, and-he is preparing himself to give Mende anothel• battle, which will pro bably take place on - Friday or Saturday. The rain poured down in torrents the whole of last night, •and continued up to noon to-day. The present flood would de— stroy any pontoon bridge in the Potomac, even if the rebels had one, and it is posi tively known that they have none. The authorities are throwing troops up the valley as fast as possible. General Meade's army and the troops un der General Couch, are moving as rapidly as the roads will admit. THE REBEL RETREAT, rfertittimuao, July B.—No information, either official or otherwise, has been receiv ed hereto confirm the Herald's report of the total rout of Gen. Lee's army at Williams. port. BALTIMORE, July 8.--The American's special Frederick letter, dated this morning, says it is no longer a question whether the Potomac is fordable, but whether ally bridge the rebels may have would stand before such a flood. It also speaks of active army operations. Our cavalry are continually picking up prisoners and sending them in by hundreds, and also capturing or burning rebel trains, The rebels are abandoning their wounded, whom they placed in wag ons taken from the farms along the road.— He says if Lee is detained at the river hi+ case will be most desperate, if not hopeless.
