Hit) pnrty wns made up mostly o'f "t'TiC Cflj Councils of Baltimore, tbo I.jrt-cKts 'of tho Northern Central road, n'tid other gentlemen of that city and vi cinity. There were also guests from York nml from Ilarrisburg. The yencraulo F, P. Blair and hU wifu were among the excursionists. He vrns under Gen. Jackson's administration, tlx; editor of tho 'Washington GMir, pud the steadfast friend of tho General during his life, lie is an ardent Union man now, and liis son is tho present Post Master General. At ITarrisburg the train took on General Cameron, J. D. Cumcron, Ksrj., President of the road, and others. After a pleasant and agreeable ride we arrived at Eltnirn at 7 o'clock in the eve ning. The party proceeded to the Brainard House, and were handsomely received by the Mayor and Council, who gave them an entertainment, at which numerous speeches woto made, and an interchange of compli ments passed. The hotels, though large, were crowded, and some of the excursionists were indebted to the citizens of that beauti ful and flourishing village, which now mim liers about 12,000 inhabitants, for hospitali ties extended to them. It was the good fortune of the Sunbury delegation to become the guests of Wm. Post, Esq., who conveyed us in his carriage, after the entertainments of the evening, to his beautiful and hand somely arranged lesidence and grounds, on his farm, about a mile from town. At 11 in" the forenoon of Tuesday, we left our Elmira friends, in three splendid wide cars of tho New York & Erio road. One of these cars was large enough to scat over 100 persons. The car has a double bottom, with registers for heating and ventilation. In the centre, a jet of water is constantly playing against tho glass case on each side, through which the dust has to pass. After our arrival at Buffalo in the evening, before tea, many of tho party visited the extensive grain elevators and their mode of loading and unloading vessels of grain.

From ti Ilarrisburg Telegraph of this (Friday) Morning. Major General Couch arrived in the State Capital yesterday afternoon, direct from Washington city, coming hither charged with the execution of important plans look ing to tho defence of the borders of Penn eylvauia aud Maryland from anticipated rebel incursions. Ho expected to be joined late last night by Major General Scheuck, from Baltimore, nnd Major General Brooks, from Pittsburg. Colonel Thomas A. Scott and Colonel John A. Wright, special aids to Governor Curtin, ulso arrived in this city, last evening, and were expected to join in tho conference which was held with the Governor and Major Generals Couch and Brooks. We are not at liberty to state upon what information this conference was based, though it is of course impossible to suppress the general inference that the calling to gether of gentlemen so high in military and civil positions is of tho utmost im portance to the people of the State and nation. In connection with tho rumors, which were afloat in the city last evening, and the reports which reached us from Washington nnd Baltimore, of an expected raid by the rebel cut-throats under Stuart, this meeting of military officials is highly significant. It is expected that Governor Curtin w ill issue a proclamation to-day, calling for minute men, and with his Usual promptness he will bend tho whole vigor of his admin istration to the defence of tho State. t-ST" Hookup. Awake. General Hooker does ujt mean that Lec shall slip away from before him in a night. The heavy recofi noissance begun on Friday last gave him, if we may believe reports, satisfactory in formation concerning the situation of the rebel forces. It wai accomplished with email loss, and was an act of that kind which inspirits a whole army and gives it confidence in the commander who ordered it. It is probable that General Hooker is better informed of Let's movements than the public supposes. The Army of the Potomac has now a largo and active cavalry force, and its general keeps this force busy. It is by constant scouting expeditions on the enemy' flanks and rear that a general informs himself of all important movements of his opponent. While our cavalry infest the country on tho other side of th ltappa hannoek, Hooker is likely to have hint to till him Uforeliand when and whither I.ee intvml a movement. I j7 Nkoiio I!w Rim.

These men are named Cop perheads, because they have abandoned tho principles of true Democracy that animated the political actions of all the great men of the Democratic party in by-gono days. Would Andrew Jackson, if ho were living, bo found acting with tho class to which we aliu 'e f Would Jefferson sympathize with the efforts to break down tho only free go vernment in existence f No. Yet these illustrious statesmen were Democrats, nnd held the views now entertained by Dickin son, Butler, Brewster, Holt, Johnson, and scores of noble Democrats who nre battling faithfully for the country. The Copperheads have earned u degree of infamy which will cling to them for many generations, even up to the last hour of the tho llepublic'a existence. While our Gov ernment, which is peculiarly dependent upon the people for support, has looked anxiously to the North for unity, and for tho exhibi tion of sentiments whereby it can conduct the war against the rebels effectively, what has it seen, what does it see ? Parti.ans who would lay the honor of their country at the feet of England or any other power that would assist their schemes, misleading the people; opposing enlistments; organizing in secret oath-bound organizations to oppose the enforcement of the laws, and threatening cveu tho personal safety of the President. Theso men talk loudly of the infringement of the rights of freedom of speech which, in their vocabularly, means tho right to preach treason on every street corner, nnd excite the ignorant to rise against tho gov ernment while they hold Vallandigham indignation meetings, at which they rant more outrageously than even the notable Ohio Congressman himself. In their latest assumed indignation, these men resemble tho new masters of Benedict Arnold, who, after he hud by flight escaped the punishment so richly due his crime, put him forward as nn exponent of tho "peace" policy, and tried to use him as a stool pigeon whereby other "patriots"' might be attracted to the royal standard. In Oc tober, 1780, Arnold issued u proclamation which sounds very much as if it had re ccntly been composed by one of the Wood and Vallandigham school of politicians. In this paper ho thus addresses his old asso ciates : You nro promised liberty bv the leaders of vour affairs, but is there an individual in the enjoyment of ii, suving your oppressors : nuo among you uuro apeak or write, what lie thinks ngniust tbo tyrauny which has robbed you of your property, imprison your sons, maps you to tne aeiu ot bnttlo, aud daily daluging your country with your blood ? The copperhead theory is that only the Republican leaders their "oppressors" enjoy anything during this war time. They speak of the '"tyranny" of the Administra tion which is conducting a "relentless and bloody war." Like those of Arnold, their appeals are designed to draw men away irom me support ot tne country to cause them to look with suspicion upon the gov ernment which is endeavoring to save the existence of the Union. The traitor add ed : Our country once was happy, and had the proffer ed 'peace'' teen embraced, ibo lint two year of misery had been spent in pcaco and plenty, and re pairing their desolation of a quarrel that would have set the interests of Ureat llriluin aud America in a t.uo light, aud cemented their friendship. There it is again. '"Peace" has been of fered, say the copperheads, but it has been rejected by "Lincoln and his minions," and the beautiful little scheme in regard to which certain Democratic orators are so eloquent, has failed of acceptance. Nothing could be more entirely in accord than tho language and spirit of Arnold and of those who imitate him in theso days. We quote again : I give my promise of most affectionate welcome to all who are disposed to join uio in measures ucccssary to clone tho scene of our affliction, which must be increased until we are content with tho liberality of the parent country, who still often us protection and perpetual exomption from all taxes but such us o shall think fit to impose uon ourselves. So said the traitor, tempting the poor loy alists, ns Satan tempted the Saviour, when he offered Him all the kingdoms of the earth. This same sort of "exemption from taxes" is offered now by Copperheads, who favor the repudiation of the war debt, and who falsely urge that the present state of the finances is caused solely by the conduct of the Administration, in a measure making it responsible for the war which has been forced upon it by tho treason of the South. There are many poinU of unity between the infamous traitor of the Revolution and the men who are in their infatuation swiftly going to the same destiny in history which he reached. It would bo well if they would bo warned in time, before it is too late, uud before they gain a name of reproach as bitter and as well deserved as him. Minert' Journal.

From tho National Encampment, Walnut Hill, Vicksburg, May ?3, tho correspondent of thu Cincinnati Gazette gives an interest ing narrative of tho battles preliminary to tho siege. In the following, which is a part of the story of the Black-river battle, he describes ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT CHAR GES IN HISTORY. Tho rebels held a position la-twecn us and tho bridge, naturally strong, but rendered a hundred tunes stronger by the skillul plant ing of ten guns on the elevation separated from us by one of these everlasting bayous peculiar to the country. Tho late of the bridge hung on the possession ol this eleva tion. The Ijhvou must be crossed. There is no way to circumvent it ; i:o way to cross the river but at thispoint. Lawler's brignde 'all honor to it I is ordered to carry tne noint. Thev must cross nn ooeu Held in front of the bayou ; they must swim orwode through it, and storm the work on tne op posite side. They appeared on the field ; the ten guns opened their murderous nre; many noble fellows fell, but the ranks closed in again, nnd the column pressed on. It reached the bayou and plunged in solid mass into the green anil stagnant water, then followed a double struggle with death in horrid shape ; but God was on the side of tho brave patriots who thus imperilled their lives tor their country s sake, and nine tenths of the enemy's shots fell harmlessly iuto the dark and sullen waters of the deep bayou. The noble brigade re-formed, still under heavy fire, on the other side of the bayou and dashed upon the rebel work. The trench was leaped ; the face of the work was covered thick with clambering forms, each with hands uplifted, carrying the dead ly bayonet. The embrasures of the work were tilled with fire and smoke. Grape, canister, nnd shrapnel hissed like a hail storm nround the heads and forms of these devoted men. A terrific struggle" for life and mastery. A hundred rebels smitten to the blood-stained earth , a hideous yell for mercy from the throats of a whole brigade of rebels, and the terribly-contested place is ours. Meantime, the main body of tho rebel force had left the brignde to its fate, crossed the bridge, and left it in rlnines. The pri soners and guns, together with an ammuni tion train, supplies, and arms; were collect ed, guarded, and sent to the rear, and that column of our victorious army to which belonged I.awler's brigade pressed on to keep pace with the progress of the others in their advance upon Vicksburg. HEROISM OX THE F1EI). In the correspondence of the Cincinnati. Commercial we find tho following : There were many instances of heroism in the battle to-day, which ought to entitle the ; actors to the admiration of the country, and ! embalm their memories in the heart of every i patriot. Lieutenant Perrv, ol the 47th 1 Indiana, was with his companv under the hottest tire of the engagement. His regiment I occupied such a position that his command was very much .exposed, uud was HUtl'eriug ( drcadl'ullv. One of hit comrades suggested i to him that he ottidit to avail himself of n little cover immediately in his rear. Perry looked at him. calmly but resolutely, Hnd said: ,-.'o, sir; the 47th never gives 'back itu inch I A moment nttcrwaru he was i shot through the heart, anil expired without i a groan, two ot his men, on seeing liim fall, wept like children. The lieutenant colonel of tho 10th Mis souri was shot through the heart while wav- j ing his sword to urge his men forward to a j churge, which they executed with splendid : success. I An olliccr was sent to Cenerul Logan to inquire how the contest was going on in ' his front. Logau sent back word, "Tell General Grant that my division cannot be whipped by all the rebels this side of hell. I We are going ahead, and won't atop till we ; get orders." j When our left was giving way before the overw helming force of the enemy, a few men j became panic-stricken, audit was feared thu I contagion would spread. The colonel of j 21th Indiana rode to thu rear, having a , wound in the hip. 11U rullied the terror- t stricken by a few words ol eifeCtiriigcincnt j Lion t ue (iisroiiraifcd. men. l ie uru driving us now. but we'll whin them m an hour. AVe are taking Vicksburg to-dav, I The expedition under General Blair pro boys, and if you all do vour duty its bound Cecdcd northward ns far us Meehanicsburg, to fall." On the rebel side, nn instance of valor ! occurred in the conduct of Captain Riddle, ' of u Mississippi battery, who remained by j the side of his guns after all his horses had I been shot, nnd his comrades killed, wound ed, or routed. Ho staid at his post fighting against nn infantry charge with a revolver, ! until pierced by half a dozen bullets. j BARBARITY OF THE REBELS. j In the battle to-day the rebels did not j depart from their uniform practice of bar barity to our wounded. In more than twenty instances they bayonetted, clubbed, ' or shot our wounded, who had fallen iuto ! our hands. I saw two or three men dead i upon the field, who had been shot in the depredations with impunity. ' Tho Govern rauks and afterward run through the breast lm.nt ..hmtntions nro selected for attack. A or abdomen with a bayonet, while found lying upon the ground or leaning against u tree. Several of our officers uicu were wit nesses to these inhuman acts. They saw their comrades butchered, but dare not re monstrate, lest they themselves should share the same fate. On one occasion a regiment of rebels ran their bayonets through six of our wounded, alter an unsuccessful charge on one of our butteries. THE METHODISTS IX THE FIGHT. The 24th Iowa is called a Methodist regi ment. The colonel and several of the cap tains aro Methodist preachers, aud a majority of the soldiers are members of the Metho dist church. They did Mime of the best ! fighting if the day, yesterday. They went j iuto the battle full of enthusiasm, uud not ono tif them flinched during the engagement Their major was wounded late in thu day. i Ho walked from thu field, util, on his wav to the hosuital. cantured a stalwart Confcci- 1 erate, nnd compelled him to carry him to tho provost marshal' headquarters. It wa a laughable sight to see Major Wright riding hi captive into camp. The casualty list of tho Mctdodiat is very large, and show that they stood up to their work like true sol diers. On returning from the buttle field in tho evening, they held u religion meet ing at which thu exercise were very im pressive. A I write, they aiu tilling the wood with "Old jlundreil."

Tbo farthest part of our live is sought out by tho rebels' shot and shell. Ah I they know to a dot where to throw them, aud no place seems safe for tho civilian or looker-on. The bugles sound tho chargo precisely at 10 o'clock, and, if by the touch of magin, the hitherto concealed forms of tens of thou sands of brave, determined men appear before thu astonished gaze of the entrenched foe, and rushed forward with impetuous speed a terribly splendid sight. A cordon of tbo lire blazed from countless muskets around the rebel lines, a forest of bristling bayonets swayed and flushed in the sunshine, niid hedged in the foo like an in cxorublu fate. Shout after shout went up hs our columns pressed on with such appa rent success ; but, alas ! our joy was brief. Tho enemy, well calculating his strength, and skilful in the use of it, awaited the first volley before he replied. Then, for the first time, he became fully aware of the terrible resistance of the rebels. They roso from their pits and iutrench tnents in thousands, and poured a steady and deliberate fire into the breasts of our advancing columns. They hurled hand grenades by the score into our ranks, and (mured grupe, canister, and shrapnel upon us from batteries hitherto concealed from sight by the treacherous brush and undergrowth, which entangled the feet of our brave lads and caused many of them to fall nn easy prey to the deadly sharp shooters. In many instances regiments were within fifty yards of the rebel works, but the ground was so steep that it required longer to climb up than to "double quick" ten times the dis tance. Such regiments ns. for instance, the tlth and 80th Iowa, on the right of our cen tre, that had but a short distance to charge, were cut to pieces. 1 he former reports six ty men nnd four non-commissioned officers for duty now ; but this is a verv extreme case and the regiment onlv numbered a lit tle over 300 men.

Tho Government to-night received official advices from Vicksburg to the 3d instant. The telegram, while stating that the siego was continued makes no mention of events of startling importance. Cincinnati, June 8. The Comnwreiitl publishes a letter dated Memphis, Juno 3d, which repents Petnber toil's intercepted despatch to Johnston about being able to hold out ten days, &c. It adds tho following : General Osterhaus is on the west side of Rlack River Bridge, with his entire division watching Johnston, who appeared on the first nnd second with five thousand intantry nnd some nrtillerv. Shots were exchanged and the Rebels retired. Johnston is said to j hiive 1S,000 men, poorly armed and deficient I in nrtillerv. There is, then, no probability i 1 "f his being able to relieve Pemberton forty-five miles, without meeting the Rebels in force. A few guerrillas fired on our cavalry, wounding" several. The crop were found in a promising condition, and the country well supplied willi livo stock. A large amount of cotton was dc'sfrfved, and many cattle nnd negroes were bro'itglit away.

Washington, June 0. The Second Division of the Sixth Army Corps crossed the Rappahannock at noon yesterday, on pontoon bridges laid by a de tachment of the Engineer Corps. The ob ject was a reconnoisance in force to ascertain the motions and position of tho enemy. The Rebel sharp-shooters made some op position to the placing of tho pontoons, but this was quickly overcome, although we lost one or two men in the operation. After the Division had crossed there was considerable skirmishino-, and the rifle-pits occupied bv the Rebel riflemen, were finally carried and some thirty or forty prisoners captured. Among the killed was Captain Cress, of the Fiftieth New York. The Rebels still hold Fredericksburg. General Longstrect is there, and shows a strong front nt the upper fords of the Rap pahannock. It is believed that a large part of the Rebel force has gone in the direction of Gordonsville, but with what intention can only be surmised. Our army is in good spirits, and ready for n move forward at un hour's notice. Aumv or Tiir. Potomac, June fit li. C-ol.

Major Stokes, of the Fortieth Virginia, Lieut. Wiliielm, of the Baltimore Light Artillery, nnd n number of the Rebel Signal Corps were also taken prisoners and brought here. , Aumt ofthe Potomac, June 0. Special to the New York TimcD. Yesterday nt noon, very unexpectedly to everybody, the Engineer Brigade was ordered to the Rap pahannock with pontoon bridges, and or dered to proceed with the construction of two bridges across the river at tho point known us Franklin's Crossing, below the mouth of Deep Run nnd ono mile below Fredericksburg. The batteries of the Sixth Corps, under charge of Colonel Tompkins, were likewise ordered to cover the engineers in their work, and Howe's Division of In fantry was ordered to the spot to support the engineers nnd push across as soon us the bridges were luid. The onlv Rebel force visible was a double line of pickets, who lounged about very innocently, watching our operations closely. About five oVlock the engineers commenced unloading the pontoons, whereupon the Rebels hopped into their rille-pits, and began picking otf our men. Our artillery, twenty guns or more, immediately opened with shell, and for two hours kept up a vig orous cannonade, with but little effect, how ever, upon the sharp-shooters. It became necessary to storm the rille-pits. and at half- past six o clock the l weuty-sixtli Acw ork, Col. Morrison, of Col. Grant's brigade, was ordered into the boats. They at once pushed across under a heavy fire, and, landing on the opposite side, rushed upon the rille-pits with cheers. The Rebels vacated an ran. Our men instantly deployed as skirmishers, and in a short time some sixty of the Second Florida were brought in ns prisoners. Other regiments of the Vertnout brigade soon followed in boats, until nearly the whole of two brigades were over. As soon as the firing ceased the engineers began the work on the bridges rtntl at U P; M., had one completed and the remaiudt'r of Howe's Division passed over. Our casualties ver livo killed and twenty five wounded. Our forces advanced cautiously across the plain, deploying skirmishers very handsome ly, the right resting on Deep Run, and the left in the vicinity of the Bernard House. By dark they hail reached the Bowling Green rond, and posted pickets for the night, well out toward the foot of the tim bered crests on which the enemy have their strong intrenchtneuts. The ReUls were uot discovered in force lust night, though tho prisoners stated that we should meet them if we kept on advancing. This morning enough has been ascertained to locate the greater portion of the enemy's force. We took nearly one hundred prisoners, including one Major. Our Crossing took the enemy greatly by surprise. During the night General Lee inarched two corps back from the vicinity of Salem Church to a position in front of our lines. General Longstrect' Corp has reinforced the troops in Fredericksburg, und slept there last night. This morning they moved in a southerly direction. By this bold movement we have demonstrated to a cer tainty what becamo of the enemy, besides divining his purpose. Our men behaved most gallantly, cheering as they crossed, for tho third time, this his toric river. The movement has thrilled the army with excitement and impatience. I'lCOM WAlll-4.'TO.

LATER. Washington, June 8. Fredericksburg is still held by tho enemy, nnd no attempt has been made by our troops totalt'elt. Our advanced posts beyond the Rappa hannock were held- up to this morning by tho Eighty-second and Twenty-third Penn sylvania Regiments. Rebel pieketssconf'ront ours at a abort distance, but up to this morning not a shot had been fired by either party for twenty-four hours. Just below Fredericksburg, and between the lines lay the bodies of three dead rebels killed by our shells on Friday. They do not offer to come down and re move them. They nre, however, leisurely cutting grass nil day inside their picket lines and on the battle-ground of last De cember, nnd carrying it to tho rear for their horses. Our picket lines do not run over three-quarters of a mile from the river. Tho enemy has been drawn up in line of haltle tor two davs to prevent our further movement. Evidence, considered reliable by some military men, has been received that the main portion of Lee's army is still hovering about Fredericksburg, but that there is a large force of cavalrv. numbering perhaps ten or twelve thousand, at or near Culpepper Court Hoy.sc.

The light between General Pleasonton nnd General Stuart, yesterday, was a very bril liant alTair. Our men crossed the itappa lytnnock and made an attack, driving the rebels from their entrenchments, with a large number of killed and wounded. We took a large number of prisoners, but the number is unknown. KfllTIIKK I'AllTlt'trl.Ans. Wasiii.niiton, June 10. From an office: who participated in the light yesterday morning, we learn that two brigades of Pk-asanton's cavalry, under command of Gen. Buford, made a reconnoissancc to Cul pepper and had one of the most obstinate cavalry fights that has occurred during the war. The force was composed of Gen. Buford's brigade, nnd another cavalry brigade under Col. Davis, supported by two batteries uud Iwo regiments of infantry. At half past 12 o'clock on Monday night the cavalry bivouacked near Beverly Ford, on the banks of the river. At 3 the next morning the men were called, nnd they crossed the river. Beyond the ford was a semi-circle belt of woods, with a range ol' rifle-pits near the edge of the lumbers, and a line of pickets guarded the fold and the southern bank of the river. The fth New York cavalry crossed fltst. and drove the pickets back to the rifle pits. I The cavulry then charged directly througli ' the rille pits, and after a desperate Combat ! cleared the woods, the enemy falling back j on their artillery nnd maintaining their posi tion until twelve o'clock, when our artillery came up, and they were driven back six ! miles in the direction of Culpepper, when! our forces crossed the river in god order. , Nearly all the lighting was done by the : cavalry, and it win of the bloodiest character mostly hand to hand with sabre and pis- j tol. In tho woods the heavy timber was not ! very dense, so that the horses could advance j through it, but the undi rgfowtTi was thick, and when a trooper dropped hu was entirely concealed. Our loss was considerable, nnd the slaugh ter of the rebels was feurtul. The nuin! ers of casualties on both sides are not yet re ported. By this sudden nnd brilliant dash of our cavalry into the enemy's lines t heir plans htiye been frustrated, and the intended raid by Stuarts cavalry prevented. STILL LATER. Nkw YoitK, June 10. The Times of this city received the follow ing special : Bkvkhi.v'm Fohii, June 9. Gen. Plcasan ton at daylight this morning crossed the river in two columns, his right at Beverly's Ford and left at Kelly' Ford, six miles below. The fords were enptuted whhout loss. . This ford wa taken by a spirited dash of the 8th Illinois cavulry und bth Illinois and 8th New York infantry, and we were on the south side of the fl.rcmn before the enemy were aware of our movement. Gen. Gregg took Kelly Ford after a slight skirmish. The right column under Gen. Bhfiird had proceeded ouly a mile from the river, when it cume upon "Gen. Jones' whole rebel bii giule, who had just shaken themselves out of a sleep in time to receive us. A fight commenced which continued from 5 A. M. until 3 P. M., by which timo the entire force of -Gen. Stuart, consisting, ac cording to papers found in camp, of 13,000 cavalry and 10 pieces of artillery, had been engaged und driven buck three miles on the right and five mile on tho left with a heavy loss. Our force formed a junction near Beverly Station at 2 o'clock. The fighting of both columns, under Buford and Gregg, w as lery gallant, not a single instance of misbchuvior occurring. The grandest charge was made by the Sixth Pennsylvania cavalry, supported by thu Sixth regulars, when tliey dashed on u whole brigade ofthe enemy and were taken in the fiank by another biigade. Though thoroughly overpowered, they gallantly cut their way out. We captured two hundred prisoners and a stand of color. The enemy had five large brigade under command of Gen.
