store was a two-story wood building it burnt rapidly.
'and before the fire• engines could act ;upon the fire, our
whole stock of goods, including much combustible ma•

stroyed. We had one of your No. 11 Chilled Iron Safes,
which was in the hottest part of the fire, and it came out
of the the not in the least injured, except the melting off
of the name, plate and paint. The contents inside were
not affected in the least, and we consider the Safejust as

EXODUS OF THE CITIZENS OF CHAMBERSBURG
[Correspondence of The Press.]
CARLISLE, CUMBERLAND CO., PA.,
June 23, 1863.
avillg spent nearly a week in Harrisburg, and
having become altogether• tired of healing the mo
notonous tones of complaint and dissatisfaction
freely expressedby the troops concentrated there, I
concluded' yesterday afterneon to take a trip into
the country; and hearing the train was to start for
Chambersburg for the first-time since the occupa
tion of :that place by the rebels, I concluded to take
a trip down the Cumberland valley.
-The _country is indeed - a beautiful one. Nature
has been lavish in her adornments. Fields of wa
ving grain and grass greet the eyefrom far and near.
No wmoder. the rebels desire to Pay a Visit tothis
-rich valley.- It certainly must be a tempting prize,
and I am truly ashamed to say that the citizens of
this' section, for the most part, evince a state of
- apathy altogether astonishing. .
I left Harrisburg about 2 P. and reached
Chambersburg about half past four. Five miles east
of the latter place, at Scotland, I crossed the bridge,
a new one, built in place of the one the rebels
burned down one week ago this morning. Abun
dardevidences were to be seen in the charred Um
tiers and the shrivelledgip trees in close proximity
-to the scene of the conflagration.
One of the'cars of the train was entirely'and com
pletely illied.with returning colored people, who,
leaving their homes at the approach of the enemy,
were now returning. At every station on the road
many people of the same color were assembled to
greet them on their way home. And when they
reached Chamßereburg the scene baffled description.
Men and women of all shades Of darkness ; small
children and infants; bags and baggage, of all sizes
and shapes ; were pressing on through the streets of
Ohambersburg, presenting a grotesque sight indeed.
The first news that greeted my ears was that our
cavalry had had a skirmish with the enemy at or
near Smoketown, some seven or eight miles from
Chambersburg, near Greencastle, in which we lost
one, man killed acid perhaps two wounded, together
- with the like casualtiee in horses.
found Brigadier General Knipe in command of
the post here, who bad plaCed the troops at his dis
posal about two miles south of the town. These
forces consisted of the Mist and Bth Regiments of
New York Militia, together with Spencer Miller's
battery of howitzers. There were also some forty
or fifty cavalry men, who had assembled here from
different regiments of Milroy's command, and who
were out on scouting service; the entire forci hot
exceeding eight hundred men. In order to increase
this force General Knipe issued a call for all the
male citizens to assemble at the court:house yeiter
day at noon, in order to form bodies of minute men
for the protection of their homes and property,
stating that he had, to be placed at their disposal, one
.thousand muskets and plenty of ammunition. The
result of thli call, in a town containing a population
of some six thousand souls, was the gettingtogether
a force of sixty men ! Scouts were continually gal
loping into town stating that the rebels occupied
Greencastle in force, and that some eight or, nine
regiments of infantrywere advancing, together.with
cavalry, and artillery. 'General Knipe, seeing the
apathy of the citizens, and Considering the small
ness of his own forces, ordered our ,men - slowly to
retire. Cars and everything being in readineas, the
men, guns, and ammunition, together with the com
missary stores, were safely started on the road this
way.
, s ,a. ort.lim_e l liectge r tkiLlrainstarted, and which
b r o departure, taking away,•some
sixty ladies, many of whom had been attending
sChool at Chambersbutg, and who now.thought that
home was the best place for them.
The exodus of the colored folks was . .again in full
blast, and those who were eager a .few before
- - -
to get home Were now just as eagerio,iget away;
and I must say that,,the get-sways weileniit confined
to females and colored folks, but that many of them
were robust men, who' ere leaving their, homes to
the mercy of the enemy. We left Chambersburg at
9 P. M., and reached Carlisle at 1 this morning.
Whether we shall go forwards or backwards is not
yet known. CFLESTER,
From Chambersburg.
The following, from a highly respectable and
talented professional gentleman, residing in Cham
bersburg, though not written for publication, may
be considered, worthy of appearing in print:
1 011 - .A.MBERSBURG, June 21, 1863
Your kind letter of sympathy came to hand yes
terday evening. I have just returned from a wail,: of
four miles, to and from tke almshouse. _My horses
were not captured, but have been in Cumberland
county since last Sunday night. The rebels under
Gen. Jenkins entered our town on last Monday
night, at lig o'clock, and remained until Wednes
day at noon. They are now in pretty large force at
Hagerstown, twenty-two miles distant, and this
(Sunday) morning 250 of them came to Greencastle,
eleven miles distant, to complete their horse-thiev
ing expedition. It is estimated that they have
taken 2,000 horses out of this county , and Washing
ton county, Maryland. We had no force to meet
them with, and consequently were at their mercy
during their stai;,and even now are very poorly
protected,iliould they attempt to return. Part of
a New York regiment has just arrived, and more
troops are expected to-morrow.
Our part of the State -has not been well used by
the State Government, and in consequence of that
fact, we have few men who seem disposed to take
up arme. _Our town has been twice spared from de
struction because of our non-resistance, which,
under the circumstances, we all considered the best
policy; and if things continue as they have been,
we will feel safer under the bogus Government than
under our own. Do not .think that I have be
come a " Copiterhead," for, if I had been one,
the execrations heaped on them by the rebels
would have cured me. I will now relate an
incident which odcurred, which, if you see
,proper, you may give for publication. The "
re
bel,
General Jenkins being fond of S Witzer
case und Lager," accompanied some of our young
men to a drinking house. A blatant sophomoric
sprig of the law was one of the party, and having
become somewhat exhilarated, he commenced to
ventilate his disloyal and treasonable sentiments ;
-ho-was not allowel_however, to proceed yeryfar,
until Jenkins informed him that he discovered in
him one of those creatures termed Copperheads, and
that where he came from, they were held in more pro
found contempt than the avowed Black Republicans.
Thiesbould have been enough for our assinine friend,
- but he preferred to show his ears still further by re.
-ferring to "poor Vallandigham" as a greatlYperse
cuted individual, who had been sent out of our lines
by our despotic government because of the fact that
he had exercised the right of free speeoh, and had
given expression to sentiments which were inter
preted as treasonable by those in power. The re
ply of Jenkins was this :-"My Copperhead friend,
your Administration did not do itsoluty. If Lincoln
had performed his part as he should have done, he
would have hung him sin months ago. If any man in
the Southern Confederacy would utter sentiments
as adverse to our Government as Vallandigham did
to yours, we would not only deprive him of liberty, but
we would take his life." My informant says that this
shot had the effect - of sending our•besotted friend
home, a soberer if not a wiser youth.
Another fact which I shall give you is that
the rebels were not in town more than a half hour
until a villain went to some of the leaders and
informed them, as to the direction in which most
of the citizens' horses had been taken, and also that
the bridge at Scotland was a wooden structure, and
not iron, as Stuart's men had been informed. This
'Gen. Jenkins told to one of our moat influential
ladies, and when she requested him to take the
fellow with them, his reply was that they would
not have such a scoundrel in their Confederacy, if
they could prevent it. With the exception of steal
ing horses, cattle, hogs, and sheep, they did very
little other damage, other than taking store -goods
and drugs, and paying for them in their.worthless
currency. A large part of this—nine hundred or a
thousand dollars—was returned to them by our
Town Council, in satisfaction of a demand made for
two or three horses that were taken from them by
some of our citizens.
You have no idea of the reign of terror under
which we are living. On my way to and from the
almshouse I passed my fields, with their crops fast
ripening for the sickle, but no one can tell ,whether
they will ever be harvested or not. The corn is suf
fering for want of cultivation, but with horses and
servants away, what can be done?
The rebels carried away with them a large number
of persons of Color, both slave and free, but I am
happy to inform you that the first gang, some twenty
or more, which they sent in their advanCe, poorly
guarded, were rescued-by the citizens of Green
castle. This is a fact, for I conversed with one of
the liberated ones to-day. In regard to the free
Degrees, I will say, for the credit of Senkins, that I
do not think they were iaken, with his knowledge,
for, in the case of, others who .were captured, when
citizens would.interfere for them they-were re
leased. The property in town was entirely un
injured. They attempted to fire Moser's. Oaks
. Linn's warehouse just as they were leaving,
but the flames were extinguished before much da
mage was done. In Greencastle, they burned the
Water station and wood belonging to the railroad
compagy.
. A Party of refugees, jest from Greencastle, with
horses, repent that the rebel flag is up in that place.
I am proud to say that the stripes and stars are once
more floating, at, the top of our pole in the public
,
ciquare. Row long it will be there, I am nob able to
'..A.13 for any of us leaving home, for the present,
to accept of your kind invitation, it cannot be
thought of. lithe Vandals render us houseless, we
may possibly seek shelter under your roof for a
while. The Infinite framer of events only knows
what is before us ; whatever it is, f trust we will be
able to, meet it bravely, and if my health is suf

OHAMIVERSIRTEG, Stine 22, 1863.
As it is reported this morning that Colonel Lull
has said that if the sun shines brightly to.day, eo as
to dry the paint and varnish which he contemplates
putting on the Scotland bridge• this afternoon, it is
probable that the cars will be enabled to cross to
morrow, thereby establishing mail communication
between this place and the outer world.
I have eoncluded to furnish you with a few inci
dents connected with the recent rebel raid into this
lidd Lee's whole army been between this place
and Harrisburg, during the past week, we could not
have been more completely isolated than - we were
by the destruction of an insignificant structure over
a small rivulet some four miles from town. The ci
tizens generally seem to - regret Jenkins' leniency to
wards thin company, as the cowardly conduct of its
managersieally did not 'deserve it. But to the inci
dents:
The rebel advance, consisting of three troopers,
entered our town at full gallop, on Monday night at
half:peat eleven. Two of these were captured by
some persons who chanced to be in the piamond,
their horses ridden off, and the men put in prison.
The third unfortunately escaped and communicated
the fact to Ms officer. When the main body entered
at 12 o'cloCk, their first act was to liberate the priso
ners, end to seize one of the parties engaged lb their
capture. They threatened to hang hicn instanier if
be did not' disclose, but he showed so much pluck,
that the ececution of their threat was postponed un
til the next morning. In the morning cool reflection
came, and he was released.
On Tuesdiy, General Jenkins demanded and re
ceived from the iuthorities of the town nine hun
dred dollars, as compensation for the stolen horles.
He required, also, restoration of the equipments.
'The perplexity and difficulty, and perseverance and
general worriment of our worthy Burgess to effect
that object would fill a volume. Our stores and -
places of business, generally, were closed on Mon
day, and not opened on Tuesday morning. At nine
o'clock, however, General .Tenkins issued an edict
ordering all stores, &c. to be opened for the purpose
of 'giving an opportunity of shopping to his soldiers.
Soon after nine the drama opened. With eagerness
the rebels rushed to the conflict. Our merchants
evinced a backwardness to encounter their zeal.
Somehow or other; they did not like the currency in
which the rebels proposed to trade. One stout rebel
from Parkesburg, Virginia, had prepared himself
with a good supply of counterfeit greenbacks. He
soon became a general favorite. His custom was
sOlicited on all sides. Boots, shoes, and made-up
clothing seemed the articles . particularly wanted.
But the.se seemed the very articles which our mer
chants just happened not to have on hand,' One
was just closing out his stock preparatory to a re
moval, another had been - selling off Bat auction,
whilst a third had not yet visited the Eastern cities.
Varioue were the excuses offered—but the rebels
were not satisfied. The citizens were appealed to—
varioui inquiries were put—but no satisfactory in
forniatiOn could be obtained. The soldiers, in their
disappointment, denounced us all as a know•nothing
set. Tailing in, dry goods, the rebels turned their
attention to drugs and medicines. In these they
were more successful. Whether this was owing
to greater confidence on the part of our druggists in
Confederate scrip, or to their better supply, I know
About 12 o'clock an alarm was raised that the
Yankees -were approaching in force from Shippene
burg, ;when a general stampede - of the rebels took
place; Ina few minutes the town was evacuated,
the, stores closed again, and the rebel horses sent to
therear. The rebel dismounted infantry was drawn
up line of battle, and things assumed a warlike
appearance. In a few hours, however, it was ascer
tained that it was simply a ruse upon the part of the
general to withdraw his men from the town, they,
3n hie opinion, having shopped enough.. The irregu
lar gait with which some of his men made the double
quick tn camp seemed to justify his opinion. During
the" aflenioon" the rebels. amused themselves in
stealing, horses, picking Up' contribands, and run
ning down little darkiee. Some r seines of an amus
ing•character occurred. Others Were most painful
and hnmiliating. One mixed lot of captured con
trabands and free-horns, consisting of twenty-three
`he ,terror of;these poor
negroes --- ' - nas intense. - They could be seen fleeing in
ail directions, and concealing themselves in every
suitable place. „ ,,, Many lay in wheat fields during the
4ebel,ytait, and, were' fed by the humanity of the
`farmers. A' German Merchant, who was so unfor
tunate as to be robbed a few years _ago, was very
reluctant to open his store oa Tuesday morning.
The rebels, however, have forced an entry, and hay
ing made such. selection:of his goods as e s uited their
several tastes, tendered to him payment in rebel
fancy scrip.: As, he eyed the suspicious paper lying
upon his counter; with upraised hands and in a most
Pitiable yoict' l lie exclaimed "My good heavens,
gentlemen, Iwas robbed three years ago'; please do
not rob me again !"
On Wednesday morning the disarming of the citi
..zens took place, a description of which we will re
serve for our next letter. FRANKLIN.

HELENA., Miss, Friday, June 12, 1863
With officerslbaggage cut down to thirty poundi,
men limited to one change of under-clothing, and an
extra pair of shoo, knapsacks packed with rations
for five days, extra baggage all sent back to Hick
man's bridge, we were looking to a long, rough
march into Tennessee. Even our usual baggage
.wagons were loaded with rations. We were, there
fore, mush surprised in the evening of June 2d, to
receive orders to take the back track toward Lan
caster.. That was all we knew about it. So in the
morning we marched, reaching camp Dick Robinson
in the afternoon, and on next day to Nicholas
vine, to which • there is s branch railroad. Hick-
man's bridge is on this road ; the crossing of 'the
Kentucky river eight miles from Nioholasville. It
is here Gen. Burnside has, or is to have, his head
quarters. Buildings of - a/1 sorts are going up, and
the railroad is being made from Nicholasville to this
place. At Lexington everybody appeared to know
that the 9th Army Corps were going to Vicksburg.
All along the railroads were ready, and there wasn't
an hones delay. Gen: Park is in command of the
corps. The '24 division is under Gen. Potter- The
ist division went by Lebanon to Louisville, and
were at,Seymour the same night we were, and again
we were all together, within a few heirs, at Mem
phis. Gen: Park. has , a...singularly fine faculty of
managing the transportation of troops, as, we have
well known on former- occasions. They didn't ap
pear to be in a hurry for us, for we laid at Memphis
two days. -The "Father of Waters" is sadly lean
and low, and shows hie sand-bars and sawyers; he
is irately and monotonous.. Places of interest last
..year, seemed like' the fields of battle of a :i.hureired
years ago. Entrenahments are washed away ; they
have shared the usual fate of its changing shores.
. Were we to.take our impreseions of the war. from
the talk of these Western people, and not from our
actual knowledge and experience, they would be
thatthere.,had been no fighting in the Bast, it had
all been done by the Western men, at Donelson,
Fort Henry ; they don't say much about Perryville,
ba i t Grand Gulf and Vicksburg. They have. been
gently jeering us, twitting us about Bull Run, and
crossing thelftappahannock, and taking Fredericks
burg, and we -have to answer as best we may. To
day, about noon, we lay to at Helena. The shore is
rather low and flat. A half mile behind the little
town is a range of conical -shaped hills, which are
well fortified. The town has some few handsome
houses, two steeples, and most prominent, a wooden
two-story- building, with its impudent gable star-.
ing 'toward the river, with "State Rights Democrat"
painted in 'black letters two feet long, on the gable
and side. The soldiers of the post gathered in
crowds on the shore. '" What regiment is that 7" the
usual question wherever we touched. "61st Penn
sylvania." " What's the other behind your' "51st
New York." " What's the others 7" "New Hamp
shire, Ilaesachusetts," and lin on. " Them's the
real live Yanks, ain't they?" " Yes." " You're the
9th Army Corps, are your' "Yee." "
don't look any better than we do." " When are
you going-to have a review 7" " Whenever Pope
comes back." And so the fire went on.' The badi
nage was kept up in perfect good humor, but they
had the advantage of us. Our men got posted, how
ever. . They found out that an unfortunate Indiana
regiment was there. "How did Fort Donelson look
when you left'?" was asked. -By this time an officer
in white pants and a general's coat, was observed
walking upland down, nervously smoking a cigar,
and twirling his cane. He seemed to order the men
back, but not a man budged. Directly some unfor
tunate private asked, "Where were your pickets at
rittsburg ,Landing 7- This appeared to be a'fire
cracker; and hit somebody in the eye. The general
stepped forward on to the bank, and commenced
talking, but allwe could hear was, that he had com
mand of the men here—that our officers appeared to
stand there; and not interfere with the men to keep
them quiet, and if we didn't atop it, he would. Of
course our men kept respectfully quiet. But some
one allowed himself to become excited, and lost
much of his dignity and estimation. It was unfor
tunate, too, because a deputation of officers was:
within;ten feet of hith, to ask him to make a speech
to us ; ' f :The talk was harmless badinage. It was.
a calm, lovely evening. The hush that steals
on with the shades had come over us, too, as we sat
on the after-deck, looking out, on the long stretch of
the lonely shore. There was not a thing of life to
break the monotony ; not a bird in the air ; not an
animal on the shore; not a cabin to give a trace of
man. - The blue sky, lookibg eastward, next the dark
green of the unbroken wood, the upper layer of the
upland of dark soil, the bright yellow of the sand
continually falling and crumbling. the rushing of .
the curling waves, - made by the swell of our passing'
boat, relieved against the yellow sand of the bank.
Standing by the water's edge, stood a black man, his
clothes a littlelighter -than the sand of his back-,
ground, hie hands crossed in front of him, holding
his cap;`he stood perfectly motionless, his dark
face, darker by its light background, toward us. 'lt
was a Picture that impressed itself enduringly on my
memory. And as we 'glided on past, I thought of
the fugitive, looking out upon our boats as harbin
_
gets of his freedom and' safety. In Centred with
that in the cabin, a darkey , , witX his guitar sang a
song, the chore of which wag,
"De longer you die War do yarmecute;
De was it is for us:"
Whatever may be Bald in the East about black le
gimenla, it is remarkable . that wherever they are*
used, every one has confidence in them: In
Kentucky they seem to think the Confiscation'
arming of the negroes a horriblelhing. The speech
of Crittenden Was especially emphatic' on' that
point—that none but the white man should fight for"
the white man's government. Along the' Missis
sippi they are spoken of in the highest terms: They
garrison the forts with white regiments. At Milli
ken's Bend, last Sunday, three' thousand' rebels at
tacked three regiments of blacks,.and : were hand=
soniely whipped.
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
Mr. Newbould, corresilbndent of the' Tiibune;
writing under date of June 21, from the headquar
ters of General Pleasanton at Aldie, gives some
fresh particulars of the plan and action of the Eight
at Aldie'or Middleburg
" PLEASANTON 'S POUNDINGS."
- -
Pleasanton had asked and 'obtained permission,
yesterday, to administer to the enemy another of
what he calls his " poundings," being a continuation
of the series commenced recently near Culpeper,
and continued during the past week at Aldie. The
main object of these has been to deter or postpone
the enemy's visit to Maryland for which he seems
evidently preparing. The killed, wounded, and
prisoners from the rebel cavalry in these various
lights are estimated at two thousand five hundred.
Add to this a loss of material, a destruction of
horses, and disheartening ormen, and the end of the
General has a prospect of being effectually gained.
Moreover, in this last attack, it was desirable to
know lithe rebels had infantry on this side the Blue
Ridge, and whether any rebel infantry in the valley
was within supporting distance, in case of their
cavalry being diiven back. It was found that there
was none, beyond a few dismounted cavalry acting
as such, nor did the retreating enemy meet with
support, as they fled toward Ashby's Gap. This
shows that none were in that neighborhood, on the
valley side.
THE BATTLE-GROUND
From Fairfax Court-house to Aldie, twenty
miles, over an excellent macadamized turnpike,
from Aldie to Middleburg, six miles. This last is a
very pretty'village of tasteful white houses, stand
ing on. high ground, and intermingled with trees.
Farming and negro-breeding created it. Two miles
beyond here is where the fighting this morning be
gan. Half a dozen dead horses are suddenly, seen
lying in the road, or in the field near by. Further
011 f and more appear. Some of, these are of Thura
day's fight. Their bodies have already begun to
swell, and a few lie on their backs, with legs stiffly
projecting in the air. Long streams of blood issue
from their noses. Gaps exist in stone walls, kicked
over by leaping horses. Both the road and ad
jacent patches of young corn • are torn by traces of in
numerable flying hoofs. Flush-faced men with flash
ing eyes yet linger, to the mind's eye, elated by tri
umph or panic-struck in retreat. Cheers and yells yet
ring to the ear, accompanied by oaths. The less
fleet are overtaken with a " surrender ye." Perhaps
an oath, with a pistol shot, is received in reply. It
may miss fire, when the stubborn resistant receives
a ball, which speedily topples him over, while his
assailant passes on -to new struggles. .More fre
quently, the answer is a hasty " I surrender" a
throwing down of weapons, and a spreading of the
arms, to prove themselves defenceless. This action
must be amazingly quick, or unpleasant restate en
sue. There is no time to wait. At no other time is
there ever heard so much hard swearing as in a
charge. There• is a perfect chorus of oaths, from
husky bass to frantic treble. This profanity, painful
to the ear, is rarely touched on by correspondents,
yet no true idea of a fight can be furnished, without
its abundant incorporation. Rendered inailierent
by habit, and urged by a sense of duty and of pride,
men rush - to their fate in the whirlpool of corn
anionship, and careless of the future.
INCIDENTS OF THE FIGHT.
Pleasanton left Aldie early this morning, sent
Buford's `division to the right of Goose Creek, and
_Gregg's to• the left, each with batteries of Major
Robertson's artillery. They skirmished constantly
throughout the day, and converged about noon on
the Upperville turnpike; They repeatedly charged
and were charged upon; sometimes they ran away,
and sometimes splendidly scattered their opponents
to the winds. A flight or a charge depended much
upon the strength and position of the opposing bodies.
There was no difference in the manliness of the coat
batants. The Southern men are equal to ours in dash
and the use of the carbine, but are not equally skil
ful with the sabre. Rarely (Ries a party charged wait
to receive it, but there were a few instances to-day
where the ground was clear and even, and both
charged simultaneously- upon each other. Yells,
cheers, and curses, intermingled, firearms cracked,
sabres gleamed, and horses rose upon their hind
feet, borne upward, by the pressure. It was but for
a moment. Each pushed through the ranks of the
other, and turned to engage, the nearest combatant.
It was a thrust and parry, or a pistol shot and run.
Horses joyously entered into the spirit of the scene,
and, with snorting nostrils, flew to the bridle o
th e ir riders. Wounds they did not feel, and dropped
only when utterly disabled. The noble creatures
, are miracles of endurance. The rebels at last ran,
overpowered by skilful manmuvring, or entrained
by the example of each other. "I would not give
• __
regiment could Mier me.”
Though all participated in the credit of the day,
the brigade ol 'Kilpatrick, comprising the Harris
Light Cav - alry; or 2d New York -Regiment, the'4th
New York, 6th Ohio, Ist Rhode Island, and let Mas
sachusetts, was the most constantly engaged, to
gether with the Regular brigade, commanded by
Major Starr, and consisting of the lst, 2d,.ath, and
6th Regulars, with the 6th Pennsylvania;' The 2d,
under Capt. Merritt, was much of the time support
ing Fuller's battery. An individual case of daring
brought to my notice was that of Capt. N. H. Mann,
of the 4th New York, who, finding his 'squadron
hesitate in a charge, plunged alone into the enemy's
ranks. The result was a sabre gash in the cheek,. a
pistol shot in the shoulder, and a killed horse; but
the men were inspired, and rushed to victory. Ma
jor Starr, but lately placed in command of. the. Re- -
gulars, charged in , the woods at the head - of a squad--
ron, which subsequently' scattered,leavingptheirl;
commander alone with LieutenantLewisThodpion
and Bugler Polk. This latter sounded a halt and a
rally veryunconcernedly within thirty yards of the
enemy, which drew a shower of bullets through the
trees, but called back the men. For this and other
acts of coolness, he will receive a commission.
The enemy at fast fled into Ashby's Gap, where
the natural defences were too strong for attack with
our force, and the day's excursion closed, much to
the relief of the wayside inhabitants, who took
refuge in their cellars for safety. -
THE CAVALRY LEADERS.
I regret not having seen Kilpatrick, the new
cavally lion. Officers universally testify to his
capacity and dash. This is a high tribute, for few
others escape criticism in the profesidon. Pleasan
ton is a keenLeyed, middle-sized man, on the bright
sideof forty, whose short brown hair is prematurely
tinged with gray. His face is pale and features
sharply chiselled. He , is polished and affable, and
thoroughly a man of the world. Gregg is a tall,
handsome man of two or three and thirty. His
heavy blue eye and regular features beare English
characteristics. His wavy hair is light, and his
beard large and sandy. Put him in-peg-tops and a
round hat, and he..would typify the class of well
dra wn thoroughbreds seen frequently in the London
Punch. He is fortunate in having good brigade
commanders and good regiments.
• THE ENEKY
It is much to be regretted that sundry -army re
porters have published our late movements. Gen.
Hooker would readily have given $lO,OOO for the
same information of those of Gen. Lee. All letter
writers are now responsible for' - their - matter, and
must sign their names.
Gen. Pleasanton learns satisfactorily that the two
corps of. Ewell and Longstreet are near Winchester,
accompanied by Gen. Lee, and that the corps of A.
P. Hill is now coming up the valley to join them.
PRISONERS
Mr. Crouse, or the same date; writes as follows to
There are now about two hundred and fifty rebel
prisoners at headquarters, including ten officers, the
captives mainly of the cavalry fights of the last few
days. They are from the various brigades of tuart , s
force, who is getting all he wants to attend to at'the
hands ofPleasanton's active trooperis. One of the
officers is a:Lieutenant Colonel of -a North . Carolina
regiment of mounted riflemen, and. he tells a very
interesting account of hhaLcapture, which was made
by Captain, Brown, of the Ist Maine Cavalry, on the
19th. He saYs he thotight Brown never would be
satisfied, for he charged on him three times; andthe
third time succeeded. sHe esteems Brown not only
a very gallant; but a very polite fellow ; for after he
was taken, Brown remarked' that 4, as it was not a
healthy place to stay, he was going to get out of it as
soon as possible," and the Colonel would oblige him
by accompanying him speedily on a horse which he
put at his disposal. The Colonel thinks it no dis
grace to be captured'by so chivalrous a soldier..
- • A CONTEST OF STRATEGY.
The present contest is chiefly one'of strategy thus
far. It is plainly seen now that Lee desired nothing
better than that Hooker should cross into Maryland
and uncover Washington. What Hooker proposes
to do no one seems to know—but fie don't seem in
Much of a hurry to cross. - ,That he did 'not move
rapidly into Maryland the:raiddle of last week, is
due to his want of consideration of official fears at
Washington. These fears were tantamount to re
quests, if not orders, and Chain Bridge Was to be
put in good repair for the passage; ofthe army, even
though General Moller preferred to use pontoon
bridges at another point. -
There is abundant evidence that Lee is discon
certed at Hooker's failure .to move promptly into
Maryland.. The backward and, forward evolutions
of Lee's infantry for the last few days indicate that.
Since - Wednesday Longstreet's corps has been
moved from the Shenandoah into the Loudoun Val
ley, and back again into the Shenandoah.
Stuart's-bcavalry have been busily engaged in ma
king these movements of Lee. They protect and
cover his flank and rear from the vigorous assaults
of Pleasanton, and severe fighting has resulted each
day, with the advantage on our aide. In the upper
part of Loudoun Valley Buford has reconnoitred to
Snicker's Gap ; Gregg has repulsed Stuart twice at
Aldie and Middleburgh ; Duffie cleaned out Tho•
roughfare Gap, and Stahl 'has reconnoitred at War
renton. The ground is well covered by our active
cavalry, and they are now doing better service than
ever before.
MORE HORSES WANTED
"This being the case, it behoovea the proper depart
ments at Washington to make instant and great en
deavors to keep our cavalry well mounted. Such in
cessant and active service is• very destructive to
horse flesh, and I regret to Bay that fully half of Borne
of our best regiments are now ineffective from want
of horses.
The generally.inferior class of horses heretofore
furnished soon wear out, and not enough of even
such have been supplied. Our effective cavalry
force could be -increased twenty-Hve per cent. to
morrow if the supply' of horses were suincieat.
What the Government should have is an extensive
remount stable or yard, where horses could be train
ed, and issued promptly to the dismorinted men.
An untrained horse in the field renders FL good man
nearly uselesa for several weeks, and this might be
obviated by training them beforehand.
ANOTHER FIGHT
The. probability is that another severe cavalry
Sght has taken place there. Pleasanton, under or
ders from General Hooker, is throwing his whole
force upon Stuart to.day, assisted by a, portion of
General Stahl's force and two brigades of infantry.
It is believed he will this time either smash Stuart
or get smashed in the attempt.
GREAT IWARGHIN,G.
The statement of a New York paper that Lee's
army out-marched this army excites indignation
among our men who did the march. They know
'better. They know that no army under the sun ever
marched faster in such hot weather than they, and
this is proven by the fact that Hill's rebel corps,
which started from Fredericksburg 'at• the same
time, has not yet formed , a junction. with Long
street. No rebel or other army oan out-march the
Army of the Potomac. HUMphrey's division (form
erly Berry's) marched on the 15th inst. twenty nine
miles.. With such a fleet army in his rear it is hoped
that Lee will persist in going into Maryland.

some of her officers, as is charged; and the expeditionL
was much delayed ;- then - the John - Adams ran upon
a shoal, and finally the gunboat found it impossible,
on account of her length, to, pass a short bend in
the channel. By these delays the plantation people
had opportunity to drive all their slaves back into
the country, so that one object of the trip was lost.
A party of rebels in rifle-pits, who were holding the
town of Darien, were driven off with shells, the
troops landed, and the town was burned, all the
building being destroyed except some lumber works,
supposed to be owned at the North, abut which was
a large quantity of lumber. The gunboat went no
farther, but the transports kept on, and having got
information from a contraband that the schooner Pet
was lying in a creek, four miles above, proceeded there
and captured her. She had fifty-five bales of cotton on
board, with other merchandise of value, and was to
have run the blockade that night, bound for England,
via. Nassau. As the transports approached, the
rebels were seen arranging inflammables to burn the
schooner, and were just about firing them, when
some shells dispersed them in very short meter, and
saved the prize. A fiat -with twenty-five bales of
cotton was discovered just below; and some exten
sive cotton and other storehouses burned. the con
tents of which could not be removed. The negro
who gave the information about the' schooner had
been employed in loading her: He waited very de
murely till he had got his pay for the work, and
then promptly deserted to our side. The next morn
ing the expedition returned to St. Simon's Island,
and Col. Montgomery has since paid a visit here,
bringing up with him the prize schooner. She will
be discharged, and will then, probably run as a
despatch-boat between here and St. Simon's.
TILE CAPTURED "ATLANTA."
We learn that the officers of the Atlanta came out
with the intention of engaging and capturing the
Weehawken. She was followed down by two
wooden gunboats filled with ladies and other excur
sionista, who were to witness the tight; it having
been arranged that one of the gunboats should tow
the Weehawken up to Savannah ; then the Atlanta
was to go to Ossabaw, capture a gunboat, take some
batteries, entrap the 47th New York, and leave a
force there to hold the batteries. Next - ahe was go
ing to Charleston, and co-operate, by signal, with
some rebel boats in annihilating the blockade fleet,
after which she was to pay her respects to the Port
Royal squadron. This nice little programme was
very summarily changed.
THE PIRATES.

NEW YORK, June 24 —The steamer Eagle has ar
rived at this port, from Havana on the 2oth. Ru
mors had reached Havana, which are said to have

To the Editor of The Press:`
Sin : On Saturday, June 2Oth, there was a large

Centre County.
A letter, dated Bellefonte, June 22, 1863, says:-
.
"We. are in the midst of preparation for sending
off cur third company to defend:the border. Two
companies went last week from this place, beside
several .from the county. Some tine last week, a
man who bad been guilty of resisting the 'United
States enrolling'officers, in. Haines township, was
arrested and brought to tows, the deputy provost
marshal intending to take him to Williamsport. On
Thursday morning a report came to town that 160
malcontents were on their way to rescue him. The
news spread like wildfire, and soon men were seen
coming into town from every direction; armed with
rifles, shot-guns, •pistols, ac.; and had the rescuers
come to town then, there Would have been a terrible
scene, for the malcontents were, also armed. For
tunately for them, and for the town, some of. their
friends in town met 50 or 60 of them at Pleasant
Gap, five miles out, and succeeded in turning them
back" .
End of the Raid in Indiana.
The number engaged in this raid is put at seventy
five or eighty, under the command of Hines. Cross
ing the Ohio about two miles above Rome, .in a
wood-boat, they proceeded up on the Indiana shore
to or near Ron°. =
Their intention was believed to be the capture
of the Wednesday-packet Star Grey Eagle. As it
happened, however, that the Little Eagle had taken
:the Big Eagle's place on Tuesday, they missed their
mark, and, not expecting the _McCombs as the regu
lar packet, allowed ther to pats. The idea was to
capture the boat, set her on fire, and allow her to
drift down upon the gunboat Monarch, aground at
the head of Flint island.• _
. . . .
They attempted to cross back into Kentucky, but
were attacked. by the Home Guards, in *charge of
Captain Carnet and Mr. Callahan, a private in an
Indiana regiment.' Six or seven were drowned, fifty
captured at that point and four at Derby. Two of
them were slightly wounded; one of them a young
man named Smith, of:Lexington. -•
Hines swam the river, holding by his horse's tail,
and it is believed he is the only one not captured or
drowned. - Joseph. Hayeraft„ who was second in
command, is among the prisoners, Their horses
were all captured, but they threw away their arms.
One incident in this , skirmish deserves especial
mention. While Carnes and his men were busy
with the rebels, two: young and beautiful girls of
Leavenworth, Miss Tillie Tucker and I'diss Kim
ball, kept them fully supplied with ammunition,
carrying it in their aprons some two or three hun
dred yards. All honor to these brave and beautiful
Hoosier girls.—Louisville-Democrat.
WINOHESTER.,We,hayebeen fighting for the
occupation of Winchester, Va., ever since the war
began, and, it has Cost US two or three severe battles.
Everybody said the occupation of Winchester was
indispensable to the protection of the Northern Vi
rginia and the Baltimore and Ohio BaiLroad. Banks
was driven from it last season, but such was our
anxiety for the place, that as soon as the rebel arniy
was driven South after last September's campaign
in Maryland, troops were thrown forward.to occupy,
it, and ever since we havehad &large force there in
the idle and profitless occupation of fortifying. As
soon as a large force is thrown against the place it
is found utterly indefensible,,and the, costly work of
months, and all the artillery, munitions, &c., all
lost, and the garrison itself saved only by desperate
valor. Winchester is a point of no militarrstrength,
because it presents no front to the enemy. It can
be attacked from all sides. The country roundabout
is open, so that the place may be easily, surrounded
by a auperior force, and its conaraunications, as well
as, ieireat, cut, off.. :Of what upeis.a, post-to protect
the country behind it if the enemy can pass around

FEARS. RIM ur .1.1 urnPoor..."—We notice, by
the Liverpool Daily. Post, _of the 9th of June, that
Frank Drew made his ddbut, on the preceding eve
ning at the Prince of Wales , Theatre, and was Very
successful. He Bret played his late brother's old
part in " The Irish "Emigrant," and was called out
-when the play ended. The Yost says : When we
say that Mr. Frank Drew next appeared in the

that workman•like excellence in each department

which alone can make versatility truly welcome, or

by an English writer from 'a ' French original, and
now being played at this 'the: "ttrei shows numerous
traits of its origin. It is inter, lsciy Frenchin cha

never once broke into extravagance, we fancied thrs%4 .
at last, here was an actor capable of taking the iines,%„
of characters which Mr. E A. Sothern is suppo es ti d
to have made wholly his own. The Count and Cottle* -
less de: Vieux Chateau were well presented by Mit-
Leak and Mrs. Philip Warren. As Marchiimess als-

actress, also played with spirit and success: Mr.

which Mrs. Bowers played four hundred nights at
the Lyceum Theatre, London, is underlined, and
will goon be produced ICt this theatre, in fac simile of
the style in which it was brought out and acted in
London.
ELEVENTH-STREET OPERA-HOUSE.—At this po
pular resort, the play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" still
continues to draw large houses. The dramatic com
pany embraces considerable talent, the scenery is
new, and the music is really admirable. Few who
have seen the piece once can refrain from seeing it a
second time. The interest of the audience is never
allowed to flag for an instant from the rise to the
fall of the curtain; but the development of the story
'is continuous. and absorbing in interest, without
long interludes, which always have - a wearying effect,
no matter how excellent the orchestra may. be. We
have heretofore expressed our • opinion as to the
merits of the various artistes of the corn .
become more effective in their parts than ever. The
play will -be continued until after the Fourth of
July..
This evening, the play of." Camille" is to be pro
duced, the simple announcement of which will be
suffiCient to draw a 'large audience. Owing to:the
circumstance that the Peep O'Day" is soon to. be
brought out, "Camille? can be run but for a short
time, and those who desire" to witness Airs. Bowers
in this role, is "which her talent finds conspicuous
expression, should not hesitate to secure their seals
immediately. . -
The , . Yacht . Race.
.
The yacht race between the Julia and Martha, on
the Delaware came off. yesterday. The start, from
the upper end of Smith's Island, took place at hal f
past nioS. The tide was favorable, but- there was
not a breath of wind until after three o'clock, when
a breeze , sprung up. The contest was ended before
- .five o'clock, when the Martha came in some three
miles ahead of the Julia, which was then somewhere"
about Gloucester. The Martha took the lead „from
the start. At Gloucester she was about forty yards
ahead ; beyond Red Ba:ak, over a mile ahead. When
they rounded the buoy at Marcus Rook the Martha
was still in advance. During the : Jut two hours, when
the breeze was in play they ran before the wind
wing-and-wing in some places, and a prettier sight
could not be imagined. Both yachts were well
handled : Mr. Vanskiver had the Martha, and Mr.
William Crouse worked the Julia. Both yachts are
splendid little craft. The race was for $2OO a side,
and we congratulate Mr. J. C. Risley, owner of the
Martha, on the 'success of his yacht. The river
presented a most animated scene, quite a fleet of
yachts accompanying, the trial of speed to the buoy
- and back. This race, it is to be hoped, is only the
first of a series. Nothing unpleasant occurred during
the whole day to mar the enjoyment of the time.
