HARRISBURG. CCorrespondenceof The Press. ] Hakkisjiuro, June 2D, 1863, Yesterday (Sunday), the river banks were crowd ed on one side with soldiers and on this side with refugees and expectant citizens. Rumors of all kinds were flying thick and fast. Everybody ex pected a battle. From a scout just in I learned that the enemy was within three miles of the city. Thinking it probable'there might be an attack, "i started across the river. On the Bridgeport end of the bridge I found Oapt. Murray, commander of the Curtin Guard, who had just come in from Mechanicaburg, some seven miles down the valley. He informed me that he had had the pleasure of shaking hands with the rebel .General Jenkins, in the morning, at Mechanicaburg. It seems that Murray’s company was stationed in and around that place on picket duty. .Jenkins sent in a flag of truce, demanding the surrender of the town and the privilege of pulling down our flag which floated on, high. While these two officers were conversing, some citizens saved the rebel the trouble of lowering our flag by doing it themselves •and got it safely away. Jenkins told Murray to get out of the way as soon as convenient,' as he waa in strong force and we could look out for hot work be fore long. Capt. Murray at once acted on the hint, and came on his way rejoicing. I'next learned that about noon our men were forme elfin line of battle about three miles from here, at a place called Oyster’s Point. The rebels showed a bold front, and fired three shells at our men, which fell, however, far from their mark. It is believed that their guns are of heavy calibre. There is no doubt that they have come well prepared for any and every emergency. All that I saw yesterday I would not pretend to tell. But one thing I will say, that the busy hum of preparation is everywhere heard, andif our men are true to themselves, their homes, and their firesides, these Southern vandalß will meet with such condign punishment as they justly deserve. One week ago I went to Ohambersburginthecars. Then there was not a rebel north of that town, nor within three miles of it. Now they are within three miles of Harrisburg, and, from all appearances, will soon be knocking at her gates. - From Harrisburg to Chambersburg is some fifty miles.' So it can be- seen how steadily, but surely, the enemy has. advanced. He occupied Chambers burg last Tuesday morning, and arrived, in front of -Harrißburg yesterday morning. Thus it is shown that he has steadily advanced at the rate of ten mileßperday. He has occupied the entire valley" without opposition; every town is in hia possession. If he ever gets backbit will b e a lasting disgrace to our Government. But we sincerely trust that such measures will be taken as to insure the certainty of a terrible overthrow to the audacious men who have thus penetrated to the very, heart of our be loved State. Let him but take Harrisburg, and he cuts the en tire railway communication'of the State.. Would this paralyze, or would it fire our citizens with de* termination! Let us hope that this advance will result in a withering and crushing defeat to the hordes who are at this moment within sight of our State capital, and whose invasion is one of rapine and devastation. ; 'CHESTER. From Kingston, Cumberland County. [Correspondence of The Press. ] Kingston, Cumberland Co,, Pa., June 26,1863. My last brought the movements of our forces up to the retreat from Chamberßburg to Carlisle. The good people of the latter place, when they awoke on the morning of the 23d inst., were astonished at finding that the place was occupied by our retiring troops. And the lengthened visages of theinhabi* tantß; spoke, in an unmistakable manner, of the fore bodings which were prompted from within; The question again and again asked waß, “Why is it that our troops should come back 1” “ Why do they not fight the rebels further down the valley']’ s and questions, of a like character flew from-mouth to mouth. Of course the cause of, our retiring was speculated upon in a,variety of ways, and comment ed upon from every standpoint y and that, too, with just the usualamount of definiteness of conclusion, amounting to nothing. Our men took-it easy, and endeavored to enjoy themßelves as. best they could, by rambling throjagh the town and getting some thing good to eat this they undpubtedlyjaeed ed, after the severe experience of Vie few days pre vious. T Horses, cattle, white people and black, were con stantly streaming within our lines, and I feel per fectly free to say that Pennsylvania has neygr, in her entire history, witnessed such a scenelbefo're j and God grant that she may never be viflited so again. . - * - - Who, having fine feelings of humanity, could look upon these poor fleeing colored folkß, most of them on foot, tired and faint; Bpme of them with small children at breasts, others with infants in their ' arms, and larger ones trotting along by their side, often the sore-footed little ones weeping on account of pain, and say that slavery is a blessing? often have we politicians say that the negro is better off in the South than in the North, and that they are perfectly contented in their sphere of life. Any man, seeing the sights we have seen for the past few days, must see that such talk is en tirely erroneous., The horses that passed through Carlisle while we were there must have numbered many thousands, ' and Messrs. Secesh will find, if they ares on a grand horse-stealing expedition, that the people of this valley have stolen a march on them. Of flour and grain, they will undoubtedly find a great deal; but of horns, which we believe they meed most, this valley is completely depleted. We had a conversation, on the 24th inst., with Mr. Thompson Rippey, sheriff of this county, who, prompted by curiosity, went to Chambersburg to see the “rebs,” and was by them taken prisoner, but subsequently released. His statement corroborates the general intelligence as to ;the forward move ment of the enemy, and the continual arrival of our own cavalrymen convinced us that we should soon have the pleasure, if we waited long enough, not only to see, but feel the enemy. - On the evening of the 23d, the pickets were thrown out in considerable force, and Captain Miller’s bat tery was so placed as to command the different roads entering into the town. Numerous signal-lights were seen during the night, spreading across the en tire valley to the south. Many of our men who had never been out in service before, were greatly in terested in watching thoag mysterious signs, and various were the .speculations as to their meaning, and distance from us. On the night of the 24th, our entire force was drawn up in line of battle, about one mile and a half south of the town j .every precaution was taken to prevent the enemy from surprising U 3.. The scouts coming in reported him in force some seven or eight miles in our front. All were expectant, but the night passed without anything unusual occurring.:. Yesterday morning, all hands were bußy buUdilfc barricades, and digging entrenchments. The ,75 th* New York supported one-half of Miller’s on the Chambersburg turnpike; and the York, the other half, on the Walnut Bottom road. By noon the rifle-pits were O. K., the guns well protected, the hospital arrangements made, men in line of battle, ammunition served out, guns loaded, and the General commanding, and Aid Evans, on the field. The enemy was reported within one mile and a half, and every body was expectant f but the ene my did not show himself, and night came, and the battle we all expected failed to come off. Night came, and every man was in his place. The rifle-pits are being enlarged; and; the earthworks are being strengthened. Some of the men are sleeping sound ly, while others are sitting around chatting •' 9 o’clock came, when all at once, on our left flank, is heard one, two, three, four musket shots, followed immediately by the command, u Fall in, boys! not a word!” and-in a very few minutes every man was on his way to Harrisburg. We cannot but admire the skilful’ manner in which General Knipe has managed his command. He certainly evinces great coolness, and keeps his own counsel; and hap succeeded in delaying the ad vance of the enemy, and. has retired, whenever ne cessary, in an able andorderly manner. Confronted with a force infinitely superior to his own, he has offtered him battle, and only retired when he thought his own time had come We passed through, and left Carlisle, last evening, about KTo’clock, leaving many of the inhabitants in a dreadful state of trepidation, and all apprehensive for the doomed up so darkly before them. The night was very dark, and the heavy clouds, which had been threatening, soon poured down their contents, and officers and men were all soon drenched to the skin, We reached this place about midnight, and the men lt roughed” it as beat they could. We are indebted to Mr. David Strohm for the hospitalities of his house extended to us; and we can assure the gentleman that his delicious ham, aruTthe privilege of sleeping in his parlor, will not soon.be forgotten. 'Kingston ia a kind of a long, gangling undefined village, consisting of one street and containing a population of some3oo souls. After breakfast this morning we took a stroll through the village to wards where Captain Miller’s Battery was stationed. Men occupied churchee, ; houses, barns, shops, and the porches of all the houses were orowded. When I got to the upper end of town I saw an overcoat and an army blanket lying on the grass by the side of the fence, and Ivery naturally supposed that they had been laid there by some soldier, but judge of my astonishment when I discovered wrapped up in the aforesaid articles no less a personage than Captain Spencer Miller, commander of the Philadelphia bat tery. He has been foremost in the artillery service ih the fieid, in the present emergency. When the history of the- campaign in this valley is written I believe that Philadelphia will have good reason to be proud of Captain Spencer ; Miller’b Howitzer Battery. CHESTER, Newport, Pa. [Correspondence of The Press. ] Newport, June 25, 1863. !We are all here in more or less excitement in con sequence of the dose proximity of the this and ‘Mount Union being the nearest to Chambers burg of any points on the Pennsylvania railroad. Upwards of five hundred horses and mules passed through town to-day, fleeing from-the Cumberland Valley. Refugees represent that the graybacks steal all the horses and cattle they can lay their hands on, but disturb nothing else. ; A company left this ~placc and went to Harrisburg PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1863. and tendered their services, but most of them have since returned, as they were dissatisfied with the vague promises of the Government. We are all glad here at the postponement of the PittsbuTg Convention. Just now is not the time for political caucusing. We had better save the Com- and afterwards talk of nominating a candidate to act as Governor. The Union con* ference which met here last week elected Mr. A. C. Stewart, of Juniata, Senatorial delegate to Pitts burg. He was not instructed, but is known to be for a new man—to go in for the strongest and best man who can be found. M. A Suggestion* To the Editor of The Press .* Sin : Our glorious old Commonwealth is being in vaded by the enemy, and she is caliingupon her sons to come to the rescue. All cannot go; all are not wanted; but sixty thousand able-bodied and strong men are wanted; and we all know that we have double that number of jußt that kind of men ; but the majority of this class are men of limited means and have families which are supported by their weekly or monthly wages ; and they have but little propeity to defend. And property must be made to defend property. Therefore, I call upon all pro perty-owners and men of wealth, who cannot shoul der their muskets and fall into the ranks, to come forth with-their money, hire substitutes;,and let eveiy manwbo says he cannot go, be able with the next breath to say: I have a man in the army fight ing for me. Let. not vour money be.wasted by pay ing large bounties,'but have a written contract with every man that you will pay him, or his wife, or any person he may desire, so much per month, in ad vance, and in. addition to the regular pay that he. will receive from the Government. ThU pay to continue just as long as he remains in the service. I know plenty of men who say they will go, if they can make Any arrangement that will secure acerfciin sum, paid monthly to their families. I also, know ' some firms that have made just Buch arrangements with men in their employ. And if every Arm in the city had done likewise, we would have this day from three to five thousand more men in the field. I hope our leading men will lose no time in organizing and putting into operation Borne plan similar to the one I have suggested. I am, sir, very respectfully, yours, D.W. C. PniLADxtrHiA, June 20. 1863. To Arms !. To Arms 1 1 To the Editor of The Press: Sir: The crisis is upon us.

A Woman’s Appeal. “Arouse, shake off thedewdrops that glisten on your armor, and once more on to battle and to vic tory.” To the Editor of The Press: Sib : The storm that Washington foresaw,in the cloud, of Blavery has buMt/upon. us, and‘as we honor his memory, and that of the brave men who stood by hto side, and as we revere the beautiful institution handed down to posterity, to be pre served at all hazard—even life—we should be recre ant to our duty to-day, were we to rest in repose.

A. H. Philadelphia, June 30,1863. Mounted Infantry Needed. To the Editor of The Press: Sir : It seems that, in the midst of the intense ex citements of the hour, East Tennessee still claims a place in our attention. The raid of Col. S. H. Saun ders has broken up the connection between the army of Bragg and Richmond for a long time to come. The news which I receive from time to time directly from the heart of East .Tennessee is exceedingly in teresting. It, must wait for less exciting times to be communicated. In 1861, when I resided on my farm, in sight of the very railroad which, has now been broken up, I was waited on by one of my neighbors. 'He invited me to join some of the other neighbors, for home defense, as it was feared the “Yankees” would enter the borders of East Ten nessee. I told him that I would not fight against my brethren of the North. The matter now Blands dif ferently. There is home defence called for, to oppose the rebels, and I like the suggestion of “ Mediciis,” in your issue of this morning, exceedingly. -I under stand that CoL G. B. Browne, well*known in'the campaigns of Kentucky and Tennessee, volunteers drilling any number of gentlemen who own: horses, and who choose to form a mounted home guard. I should like to see the same done with the drilling of infantry, and the stores, and foundries, and machine shops closed during certain hours, for that purpose. In visiting the wards of the hospital with which I stand connected, I am daily struck with the un daunted spirit which these wounded men manifest. But this spirit is not confined to the hospitals. The great mass of the loyal people of Philadelphia are burning with the desire of having a way opened for them for meeting the enemy. There have been mis understandings, which have interfered with the manifestation of this spirit. But this spirit exists, and the suggestions of JfMedicus” are likely to bring it into action. CLERIOUS. P. S.—l am permitted to add the following ftom Col. Browne: With regard to enlistments, I learn from Col. Euff that all troops must be mustered in. Infantry will be accepted for the emergency, and not to exceed six months. Cavalrywill not betaken for the emergency unless they furnish their own horses and equipments; they, however, will he ac cepted for six months or three years, in- which case they will be furnished with horses and equipments from the Government. G. BLIGHT BROWNE, 1113 Walnut St Philadelphia, June 30,1863. The Man for Pennsylvania. To the Editor of The Press: Sir : The rebels have entered the State unopposed, have penetrated one of our richest valleys, have cap tured several important towns, and are apparently on their march to Harrißbiirg, our capital. The noble men who have gone to Harrisburg to defend it, and thereby protect our own city, are ready to do their duty, and under General Couch are being prepared to meet.the foe. . But we need some one to superin tend the whole military operations of the whole State. We need a man of genius, of bravery, of fearleßß independence, who cannot be influenced by friend or foe, one who can outwit the rebelß and their wily leaders.

Frederick, June 28.— An aid of Lee was cap tured yesterday with a despatch to Ewell telling him to push on, It is to be hoped that the masses now levying for the defence of Pennsylvania will not only have competent-field officers, but experi enced line officers. Without these they will cer tainlyget into confusion in a fight, and be at the mercy of the Confederate yeteranß. With them, their superior numbers and general intelligence will insure succeßß, and they will operate to great advant age in: conjunction with the Army of the Potomac. Gen.. Hooker went yesterday to Harper’s Ferry. The place has little strategic value, but has been fortified, at great expense, and is valuable as a con centrating point for stores or troops. Gen. Hooker thought that the guns 'had better be burst, and the place evacuated, and gave orders to that effect, . On reference being made to Gen. Halleck by Gen. French, who commanded the place, an answer was returned by telegraph to hold it at all risks. I give this upon report current here, and upon excellent authority. General Stahl is.said to have been relieved of the command of his division of cavalry, which is hence forth to be incorporated with the cavalry corps under General Stoneman, : [Pleasanton I—Ed.

As I observed them all pass re cently, their- hats were of all conceivable shapes, and coats of many colors, their original,uniforms be ing lost. Whole companies might occasionally be taken for Confederates. There were among them very clumsy riders, : and cases existed where their pantaloons had worked far above their knees, I will, however, not detract from their bravery and excellent capabilities, which will show to advantage in their new field of operations. " Several prisoners from each rebel corps, recently _captured by Mcßeynold’s cavalry near. Harper’s Ferry, state that their officers have promised them a visit to Philadelphia by this day week. .

Headquarters Aemy of the Cumberland, , Manchester, Tenn., June 28,1863. General Reynolds, at 8 A. M. yesterday, took pos* session of this place. At 6P. M. General Granger. : occupied Shelby ville. The rebels, after slight resist ance, evacuated their several positions, retreating 1o lines of which Tullahoma is the concentric point.. General Rosecrauß has removed the restrictions on the use of the telegraph, and I send the following synopsis of the'briJliaht movements which have re sulted with but slight losses to us in taking posses sion of towns, guns, and strongly fortified lines lately held by the rebels. ~ The movement was begun on the 24th, in themidßt of a heavy rain, continued with but slight in terruption. The enemy’s advanced posts were found on all the roads leading south not more than nine miles distant from Murfreesboro. On the left Butler’s Ist Kentucky Cavalry were driven rapidly through Hoover’s Gap to Beach ■ Grove, and bad not time to place their artillery in the unfinished Gap. Two companies were cut off and . scattered amoßg the hills. < Stewart’s division moved from Fairfield on the alarm bring giyen, to Beach Grove, and engaged the head of Thomas’ corps, under Col. Wilder. A brisk engagement between Wilder’s mounted infantry and" Bates’ rebel brigade enßued, in which the enemy at tempted to flank us, but were repulsed by the 17th Indiana, with heavy loss. Our loss was about thirteen killed and fifty wounded. The fight lasted . eight hours. The rebels had two guns disabled by Lilly’s and Harris’ batteries. The battle ended with the night, the rebels being still in possession of Beach Grove and the ridge of hills diagonally crossing the roads to Fairfield, and Manchester, and Ewing val ley, and Garrison’s Fork, through which our course ■ •: / On Monday the rebels threw up fortifications and planted D&rdieu’a battery to rake Hoover’s Gap, in which General Thomas’ corps was massed. Late in the evening they Opened from five points a heavy cross fire upon our position, but were soon silenced by Loomis’, Church’s, and Harris’ batteries. On Friday, General Rousseau made a flank move ment to the right for the purpose of getting upon the Fairfield road and cutting the rebels off from their line of retreat. The Regular brigade of Major Coolidge (commanding in the absence of General King, ill at Murfreesboro,) had the advance of the flanking force, and made a rapid and brilliant charge “upon Bates’ rebel brigade, forming the rebel left, it in great confusion for half a mile, ana i "causing the ;rebel right to hastily evacuate the Beach Grove Works, retreating in great haßteto wards Fairfield. Colonel Walker, through fear of being flanked by a force apparently moving on hia right, but really retreating, failed to move .his bri gade .- as far as .the road, and; the enemy: Escaped.‘_lThey threw away everything but their gunß, strewing the country with blankets and knap-; saoks. GeneraLßousseau pursued to Fairfield, and the enemy retreated to Tullahoma, General Reynolds, in the meantime, moved for ward, and the next day occupied Manchester, taking thirty prisoners, including three officers.' On the centre, Clay born’s division was encountered at Liberty Gap, and a severe engagement of an hour’s duration ensued. Our loss there was about 300. -The rebelloes is unknown. ' Colonel Gowan, of the 2d Arkansas, and Major Claybrook, of General Clayborn’s staff, were killed. Miller’s and Wallace’s brigades were chiefly en gaged. The loss of the former was heavy, and that of the latter light. General Miller was seriously wounded in the right cavalry engagement, the par ticulars of which have not been ascertained. It took place on the.2Gth, between General Mitchell and General Forreßt, in which the former found himself outnumbered. General Stanley went to Mitchell’s aid, and Forrest retreated. Genera] Granger moved forward, but finding I 'General Polk’s corps, reported eighteen thousand strong, in hia front, according to orders, the centre and right did not attempt to push the enemy.: : • As soon as Manchester was taken, and the rebel right turned, the centre retreated, and General Granger remained quiet. ' The rebels, finding us in Manchester, hastily evacuated Wartrace and Shelby ville. Had not the constant rains of the past fouT days, and the difficulties of bad roads retarded our entire left, we should have succeeded in forcing Bragg from his line of retreat to Tullahoma, ana thence toward the river, or compelled him to fight us north and west of Tullahoma. As it now stands, he iB safely retreating on Tullahoma. Hardee is on the 'Wartrace, and Polk on the Shelby ville road. They will be in front of Tullahoma to-night, assume a de fensive position, and await the attack of the Army of the Cumberland, which to-night will be within reach of them. .General Granger had a grand" reception from the loyal citizens of Shelby ville, including men, women, and children. ;. General Granger captured 300 men, 20 officers, and 3 pieces of artillery, and then pushed on in pursuit of the rebel train nine miles ahead. Headquarters Army or the Cumberland, /Manchester (Tenn.), June .28.—Bragg’s entire force is roughly "estimated at 36,000.

A. telegram from Vicksburg, dated the 15th, says the western -shore of the Mississippi river, from Milliken ? s Bend to Vicksburg, is full of Confederate troops. They hold Richmond and NewiCarthage. Reinforcements sent from the Wachita have been received by Pemberton, and troops are supposed to ..cross over every night. The Rebel, of the 24th, editorially says : “Oh the 22d General Grant attacked ussalong the whole line, but failed to carry a single breastwork. ' He was re pulsed with a loss of 10,0.00 men, and is now in full retreat.” . . .The. despatches from which the foregoing in ferences are drawn by the Rebel are by no means con clusive. ALICIUIS.

Tlie Mexican News at Court, The correspondent of the Daily News writes, under date of June 14 : 44 The news reached the Emperor just as he was sit ting down to dinner. Prince Richard de Metternich, the Austrian ambassador, who was a guest at Fon tainebleau, made a speech before "dinner was over, in which he congratulated the Emperor on the victory. In the course of the evening, an extra raticin of wine waß distributed to the garrison. The next day, (Friday,) the Empress went to the Fon-' tainebleau flower show, and beiDg presented with a new rose, she immediately named it the 1 Puebla.’ The papers continue to complain that no. congra tulations have been received from either Spain or England. The France continuing to work the theme that full and authentic news cannot be deferred to such a long date as that fixed by the Morvitcur yes terday, July 2, says that the Darien, (not the Doria,) sent to Havana by Admiral Bosse, remitted a sum mary of Gen. Forey’s dispatches to a Spanish pack et expected at Cadiz on June 22, and that we may, therefore, look for early hews by that channel. The F?-ance t following up the idea ventilated by M; Michel .Chevalier, that Mexico is to .be permanently occupied for the glorification of the Latin race on the western continent, have that a civil service in every department is to be immediately organized in that country, French clerks are goTng out to work the finances, post office, custom house, electric tele graph, &c. A railway iB to be made not only from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico, but from that capi ital to the Pacific Ocean. A canal from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific is also in contemplation. All these schemes, tending to the permanent occupation . of the country, and to a greater drain upon the re sources of France than the war itself has been, are quite contrary to the reiterated official assurances that no conquest was intended, and that the Mexi cans were to be free to chooße their own govern ment.

The Grand Duke Constantine every day receives all the foreign journals in one packet, pnd he is most particular in opening it himself, in order that no im portant piece of news shall be kept from him. One day lately there was found in the packet that day’s number of the the journal of the national Go vernment of Warsaw. Howcould the paper .have pot into the well* sealed packet coming from abroad?

Gounod, the French, or rather Parisian, idea of “ Faust Goethe’s “Faust,” not the legend greater composer than M. Gounod (Spohr) set to music half a century since—is making its way throughout the length and breadth of Europe. The Germans themselves are becoming more and more familiarized with the chief personages, the startling incidents, and even a portion of the, philo sophic thought of that, grand, poetic drama, that wonderful effort of imagination and art, which alone has placed them, as an intellectually productive people, on a level with the nation that owns Shakspeare and -Milton among its sons; and this through the instrumentality of a French lyric melodrama, no more like the “Faust” of Goethe than the “Otello” put in music by another com poser . greater than M, Gounod (Rossini) is like the “Othello” of our own immortal bard.’ A more striking example of the influence of. music over the mind and intelligence of modem Europe could hard ly be cited.'Had the‘original piece concocted by MM. Jules Barbier and Michel Carre been trans lated and brought out in Germany as a mere drama, it would not have been tolerated. The spirit of in tellectual nationality would have cried out against it as a desecration. But the muse now most courted in the land of beer and pipes and metaphysics—the gentle Euterpe—was enlisted to excuse and sanctify the sacrilege by the aid of her melodiously persua sive tongue. A lyre was suspended to the n eck of the.maimed Goethe*; and.l6! he was metamorphosed into a wandring minstrel, hobbling while he r-sang, but singing,with such eloquence that his compatriots were induced to overlook the defect in his gait for the flowand smoothness of.his numbers. On the whole, “Faust” is a work which, if not re markable for wealth of melodic invention; or for musical conception and contrivance of a very high order, is full of merit, never or very rarely dull, and carried through triumphantly, from first to last, by a command of the resources of the orchestra which any modern composer might envy. . “ Faust” is an nounced for repetition on Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thursday, whichvwill. afford us an early occa sion of devoting, a few words to the remarable merits of the principal singers : Madamoieelle Ti ltons, Mademoiselle Trebelli, Signor Ginglini, M. Gassier, and Mr. Stanley—in their respective cha racters, and to the general excellence of the per formance, one of the moßt striking and admirable ever seen and heard within the time-honored walls of her Majesty’s theatre. THE MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE DE CHAR TRES. " [From the London Star.] The union of two members of the house of Or leans is something too interesting to the world to be passed over with the common run of what are called marriages in high life. For fifteen years the exiled family of Orleans has lived in the midst of English society, and may be justly said to have gained; in public estimation by the loss of regal dignity. More general, more sincere, and more Honorable respect has been conceded by the English people to those exilea from royalty than is'often given to the occu pants of a throne. Literally personal is that re spect. For the Orleans house, as a royal dynasty, Englishmen felt, but little sympathy. There were not many here who regretted the event which ba nished Louis Philippe from a throne. But no ex iles have ever won better fame in the country of their adoption than his descendants have earned in England. The popular feeling displayed in the vici nity. of Claremont on the: Due de Chartres’ mar riage-day was really but an indication of the general respect and regard felt for.the members of the Or leans family resident in England, wherever their characters and their worth are known. We associate dethroned kings with sangiiinary plot and hopeless insurrection, or with empty and tawdry , pomp, mock ceremonial, the ghost of dig nity, the burlesque of royalty. The Princes of Or leans have shown the world an example of some thing very different—of national and patriotic feel? ing triumphant over any selfish consideration—of dignity first made truly royal in exile, of serene and unostentatious submission to a fall which, to them, at least, brought no dishonor; of a manly determi nation to turn fortune to the best account,, and" to render their careers honorable alike to themselves, to the"country which they are still proud to claim, anil to. the,other country which has become tlieir home. The Orleans princes have won honors which bor row little lustre from hereditary , rank. Personal bravery of course we should all have expected from them. Louis Philippe, although no warrior in hia latter days, showed the courage of a gallant soldier when he stood by the aide of Doumouriez, and evinced a fortitude and, Belf-com.mand.-in .vicissitude and struggle, indicating a higher kind of bravery stilh Philippe Egalite—Philippe of the Palais Royal—odious as his career had made him, almost redeemed some part of, its odium by the serenity -with which'he .met ; his terrible doom. The Prince de Joinville, the Due d’Aumale have shown that they possess; the family characteristic. But some of the. Orleans princes have of late added honors which were not. traditional to their name.by fight ing in the cause of human liberty. It is of the youth'who has just been married that a historian of the Lombardy campaign of 1859 tells an interesting anecdote. r A French officer of high rank received on one of the battle-Gelda a message from the'Sardinian army. He was struck by the accent of the young officer who bore it, and asked the latter if he was not a Frenchman. They reply w&b in the affirmative. ■“ Then why,” was the natural question, “ are you serving under the King of Sardinia and not under the Emperor of the French ?”; “ Because,” was the equally natural answer-given simply and without any tone of ostentation, “I am the.Duc de Char tres.” Since then, who has forgotten that the Prince de Joinville and his two nephews—the Count de Paris and the Duo de Chartres—crossed the ocean to fight under the banner of the Great Republic in the cause of negro emancipation? If war be the business of princes, at all, we know of no wars in which an exiled prince could have fought with greater honor to himself than that for the Inde pendence oi the Italian, and that for the emancipa tion of the slave. . LITERARY. M. Alexander Dumas, the'well-known French novelist, is about to undertake the laborious task of publishing a metrical version of “Romeo and Juliet.” His knowledge of the English language is understood to be very limited; but this does.not seem to intimidate. this adventurous ..and prolific author. Prince Paul of "Wurtemburg has published his travels in the United States; and Prince Oscar Fre derick, heir apparent to the throne of Sweden and Norway, has also published a volume of naval lyrics oF considerable merit. The joumal.of Mrs. Fiances Anne Kemble, during her residence upon a plantation in Georgia as the wife of the proprietor, is in press, and will imme diately be issued by Harper &. Brothers. Itis siid to be the most remarkable picture of the interior social life of the slaveholding States that has as yet been published. The third volume of Bishop Colenso’s attack on sacred writ is announced as in the press at London. It treats of the book of Deuteronomy separately. It will be published by Appleton & Co., New York.

Xoving Treasonj hut Despising- Traitors. The testimony is universal that the rebels in Cum berland Valley have treated certain sympathizers in that region with great contempt. A well authenti cated fact comes to us, and we think it should be made a part of the record of this war. The rebel G eneral Jenkins while in Chambersburg, either by his own invitation or otherwise, took, tea one eve ning with Mrs. McClure, the wife uf Col. Alex. McClure. , After being seated, he Said: “Mrs. McClure, your husband left here last night?” “Yes.” “He went out by the way of Rutherford’s lace?” “Yes.” “-He.wasonfootl’A ‘‘Yes. But,” said Mrs. McClure, “ how is it, General, you know all these particulars?” “ Oh,” said Jenkins, with the most biting scorn and irony, “ I have it all from out constitutional fH-ends!” "When the British troops, under Major General Grey, lay at HowellvilZe, in Trcdy/frin township, in this county, a certain Pete Mathers kept the old Warren tavern in East Whiteland. This man Ma thers went to General Grey, gave him the informa tion that Wayne’s troops were at Faoli, and, on the night of the 20th of September, ITT 7, Mathers piloted the British to the spot, and the massacre of three American soldiers took place on the field of Paoli. That was the Copperheadism of the Ameri can Revolution, and the Copperheadism of this day is equally wicked and vindictive. But there was a sequel to all this. Mathers was driven from the neighborhood. He went to Philadelphia, and be came a drayman. His infamous conduct followed him, and the boys in the streets pelted him with rotten eggs.

Tide 88th Pennsylvania Volunteers. —Our readers have noticed the rapid marcheß per formed by the Ist Corps of General Hooker’s army within the last few days. Foremost among the regi ments thus hastening to the relief of their native State, was the 88th regiment, recruited mainly in this city as the Cameron Light Guards. A word of notice is due to theße brave boys, just on the eve of the coming battle, which will soon mark the crißis of this great rebellion. They have been in the field nearly two years, and during that period their expe rience has been the very roughest that the service could entail.- • They went'through the long, weary tramps to and from, and up and down the Shenan 'doah valley under General McDowell; they were under Gen. Pope at Cedar Mountain and Rappahan nock, and afterwards participated in his disastrous retreat and the severely fought battles of Bull Run and Chantilly. Almost wearied and worn down and exhausted of health and strength by reason of long marches, continuous fighting, and ail . the pri vatioßß possible to military life, the veteran regi ment were yet gallant participators in the battle of Antietam. In this last action they were an integral part of Hooker’s old fighting corps. Since that event the regiment also participated in *he battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorville, suffering much loss, but still sustaining and adding to their former brilliant laurels, As originally organized the field officers were— Colonel, George P. McLean; lieutenant colonel, Joseph H. McLean ; major, George W. Gtle; adju tant. Benezet F. Foußt. Lieut. Coir McLean was killed at Bull Run, in 1862, while gallantly leading his regiment. Major Gile, was also very badly wounded at Antietam, and was discharged and mus tered into the Invalid Corps as a major ; and Col McLeaD, through illness, was compelled to reaiga during, the first year of service. The casualties among the line officers has been so greatthat but Jive of those originally commissioned rem.aui.in the service. All vacancies have been filled from the ranks, and the appointments thus made have done honor to the service, and no regiment has at this day a more brave, gentlemanly, and intelligent body of officers than the 88th Pennsylvania. The enlißted men and non-commissioned officers have been reduced to three hundred in number. The following is a list of the officers: lieutenant coloneLLouis Wagner, now assigned to command Camp william Penn ; major commanding, B. F. Foust; adjutant, Cyrus S. Detre: quartermaster, Albert C.

This idea cannot be too warmly encouraged, or too thoroughly oar lied out.

GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE.—A Herald corre spondent, writing from White House, after Colonel Spear’s successful expedition, says: “Among his numerous friends who returned with him is the rebel General Fitzhugh Lee, who waß captured while stopping at a friend’s at Hanover Court House. He says he had no idea our forces would have penetrated thus far into the country ,at this time, and be felt that he might remain there with perfect safety until he had recovered from his wound, which he received during the last skirmish at Kelly’s Ford. He was shot through the thigh, but ib doing well. He came in a very comfortable car riage and four which belonged to hia friend. He has all the bearing of a refined and'courteous gentle man. He is firm looking, and calculated to produce tbe most favorable opinion of his abilities as a. leader. At the time I saw him, he was reading the and appeared "to be much interested in an article on the editorial page; Ido not know what it was. To the many questions that were asked him he,gave" the most courteous answers, and, I assure you, made no small number of friends by Mb man ners. He goes down on the Thomas A. Morgan to Fortress Monroe this morning.” RICHMOND. —According to trustworthy authori ties Richmond is now garrisoned by about 4,000 militia under command of officers mostly either crippled or convalescent from, wounds. There are; however, 8,000 men at Sommeisville, who could all be moved to Richmond within thirty-six hours; also, several thousand at Petersburg, obtainable at very shoit notice, and a considerable force in North Carolina, who would soon be on hand in case of alarm. These behind the powerful fortifications of Richmond may render an attack by our forces on the Peninsula hazardous. Lee haß left 14,000 at Win chester, who could also Boon be transported there. Lee’s penetration into Pennsylvania appears to give pleasure .to many- military men, who think his army will never return as an organized body.

Philadelphia, .Tune 3<7 r 13631 There was little movement in gold to-day, which was steady at 146@147. Nothing short of a great military disaster, or a terrible panic in Government securities, could cause gold to advance materially; and the quiet ness of the market during a period of invasion is pretty clear proof that nothing but wild speculation ran gold' up to 170. Rumors of changes in the Cabinet also gave' a Quieting tone to the market, although they occasioned* no depression. Money is not plenty, as it has been fora week past, but borrowers with good security find no trouble in'getting all they want at G per cent. Govern ment securities are somewhat lower, the demand being checked by the threatening appearance of war matters in Pennsylvania. - * The Stock market exhibited a better feeling, and, as there was but one board, operations were of a limited' character; Reading shares were freely taken at. 47, a' considerable advance; State fives at 102%; Camden and Amboy mortgages sold at 108; Peana.

Brokers feel like closing business, but as long as the community.are at work they must be likewise. ' There is no use of a portion closing their stores and offices as it only throws their customers into other hands. Let an order come from the Mayor, com manding all business to cease at 12 o’clock, and that the men shall musfer for drill and service. Then some thing definite will be presented for the action of tha people, and oaf city assume the proportions of a fortified town. It is announced by Mr. Mclntyre, Assistant Treasurer of the United States, that the time of the privilege of subscribing to the five-twenty loan has-been extended to the Slat of July, by authority of the Secretary of the Treasury. This is a timely announcement, and will bo gladly received by those whose affairs have been settled by the advance of the rebels. Mr. Jay Cooke Will continue to receive the subscriptions. The City Treasurer gives notice that allloans maturing July Ist will be paid at that date. The 6emi-annual in terest on the funded debt of the. city will be paid at tha same time.
