THE SITUATION.
OGlit TROOPS ItIOAP/lIRING THE WAGON TRAINS Or
THE ENSILE
The immense wagon trains which the rebels
started from the Cumberland valley, after be
ing laden with the rich plunder they gathered
in that region, have not all reached the Poto
mac in safety. Many of these al e falling into
the hands of the federal troops just as they are
nearing or even after they have reached the
Potomac preparatory to crossing over into Vir
ginia. Gen. Pierce, in command of Milroy's
troops, succeeded in capturing a train of one
hundred of these on Saturday evening, between
Ohambersburg and Greencastle, filled with the
rich booty of rebel plunder, consisting of valua
ble stocks of cloths, shoes, hats, and even
clothing intended for women and children.
Gan. Pierce, It is expected, will be able to re
take many more rebel wagon trains.
THE FARMERS AT WORK
After &swan has shot at an enemy, it is won
derful how he yields to the charm of continuing
to shoot. This ;the farmers, along the line
over which the rebel wagon trains with their
esoorta mast pass, are fast beginning to learn,
and they are now doing dreadful execution.
Every farm house from which it is possible to
fire at the foe has bran converted into a fort,
while from behind every hill, from within
every fence corner, the farmers of Franklin,
Adams and Cambeiland counties are dealing
out death to the retreating invader. This will
have an influence of vast bent& in mote ways
than one, the most important of which will be
to teach a sturdy population how to fight.
Irna:ay:r' '1
After having robbed every drug store in the
towns through which they passed, earning off ,
the medical stores, and either wasting or said
ing them into Dixie weeks since, the rebel sur
geons are now abandoning their sick and
wounded to the care of the federal surgeons
and
.nurses. This is undoubtedly done to em
barna the, Army of the Potomac—to fill its
hospitals and• to compel the detail of active
men to take care of the sick and wounded. It
also exhibits the refined cruelty of the fiends
who ate at the hea I cif the rebellion. Human
life like holy prin iple-, is utterly disregarded.
The sick and wounded thus abandoned feel the
Injustice done them, while, it is reported by
Prisoners, - the whole - rebel army is filled with
indignant murmering at this, heartless abandon
ment of their comrades.

One of the most cold_ blooded atrocities 'of
the invasion, was the delibeiate assassination
of Col. Coulter, in Gettysburg, on the Ist of
July. He was in the street, grasping the colors
of his regiment, when heWas ruthlessly shot
down by a rebel officer. The shooting was as
cold blooded an act, of assaskinatiina as over dis
graced hignwaymen or freebooters. Col. Coal
ter wee not called on to surrender ai one soldier
should summon another to yield. He was
treated more like a dog than as a bravo man,
and shot down merely because he bore himsel f
as a true soldier. CUL Dougherty, one of the
Glen. Smith, who was captured in the
yell& a few days since, and who was paroled
and; s noir in the el!y, came very 'near being
shOt hi Hie alma manner. He had, after ruing
surrounded, yielded, and after fie was in the
hands of his captors,le was deliberately shot
at by a rebel soldier, and was thug within an
age of .tieing Murdered.
—We trust that the ruthless assassination of
Col. Coulter' will be avenged, and that for
every drop of blood that flowed his life
'away, a rebel life will be made to answer. lie
was among the bravest_of the brave—with a
sod that knew no sordid feeling—with an im
pulse that was always In the direction of right,
and with an honor governing and guiding his
actions such as won him the reapect of his fol
lowers and the - confidence of Ids fellow offvem
in command. May his blood never cease to
cry for vengeaumytite,there is A traitor left
with arms in hit hands'-
HICADQUARTERS OP THP . DIPASTPIENT OP Tali PIIS
QUETIANNA.
It was reported this morning, in military
circles, that the Headquarters of the Dapart-
ment of the Susquehanna would be removed
from Harrisburg to Carlisle. This is mu le tie-
ceesary to come within nelirer reach of the
scene of operations of the troops Monet g to
the Dept - Intent, and may be reg.rded as an
indication that Maj. Gen. Cuir:h deems the
Capital of the State entirely out of danger.
THE RETREAT OF TEM RELIFL ARILY
The city has been filled all day with' rumors
to the effect that the rebel army is now in full
retreat. Statements are made, on all sorts of
authorities, that L2O has divided his forces for
the purpose of separating the Army of the Po
tomac, and in this manner, opposing detached
portions of his own against M cad e' s forces, he
hopes to retrieve his fortunes. Be this as it
may, it is fully believed here that Lee is show
ing a bold front solely to cover his retreat, and ,
that he is even working as if he intended to
entrench himself in a position beyond Gettys
burg, the more effectually to cover his design
of extricating his army from its present perilous
position without a fight. His troops are dis
heartened and dismayed. They were taught to
believe that the conquest of Pennsylvania
needed only the invasion of its borders, and
that unopposed the rebel army would be able
to march to rich booty and have victory from
city to city in the entire north. The result
has proved otherwise, and hence the deploy able
condition of Lee's forces ani his anxiety to se
cure their safety by retreat.
The Climax of Effrontery Beached.
We have always been apprised of the fact
that the leaders of the copperhead tarty and
the conductors of its organs, in Pennsylvania,
were among the most consummate liars and das
tardly cowards that the sun ever warmed, but
the effort of this morning's Tory Organ caps the
climax of their effrontery and mendacity. Its
talk about the patriotism of Charks J. Biddle
and Judge Wozrimeed.,--and the manner of its
claim on the score of the atiipenotaie- • • •,e•
of other "Democrats," exhibits a recklessness
equal to that which characterized its course on
the eve of the invasion, when it denounced
these in charge of the military moremen's as
'wanting in brains, and encouraged the rebels
in their efforts at invasion by uncovering our
defenceless condition and exposing our weakest
parts to the assaults of the enemy. Now, how
ever, these shameless tortes essay to give the
entire credit of Pennsylvania's defence to two
miserable demagogues who happen to be in
power in two neighboring States, reserving
only for Pennsylvania such share of.the credit
of her own defence as will make - capital for a
I tory candidate for Governor or assist in mend
ing the fortune's of a demagogue of Charles J.
Middle's ilk, who heretofore betrayed the Inter
ests of a confiding constituency when 'he man•
aged to get a seat in Congress on the merits of
service which he never performed. These are
the men for whom the 2bry Organ would reserve
all the honor of Pennsylvania's defenceY'The
Democratic Governor of New York, foraooth,
is to be smeared over with Democratic praise ;
the people from a distance, only so that they
worship at the altar of the party before which
the Tory Oren ministers, are to be set up as
the only defenders of our soil, and every Penn
sylvanian who raised an arm for his own de
fence is to be cried down, ridiculed, and slan
dered. We should not be surprised to hear the
2bry Organ. next claming that Lee came to
defend the soil of .Pehneylvania, and that If it
had not been for t'l v ineoln'e administration"
the Demooracyof. s yirginia, South Carolina, and
of our other "wayiard sisters," would hive
overturned the rule of the abolitionists in - the
Keystone State.
—We are willing that the Ihry Organ should
libel the, government and traduce the leaders
engaged to put down rebellion—we are content
that it shall be left to its efforts to disfranchise
the soldier and ridicule the "leaders" of the
army; but it is asking too much when it claims
for Judge Woodward and Charley Biddle the
credit of having been solely instrumental in re
slating invasion. We object, too, to its attempts
to deprive the people of Pennsylvania of all
credit of their own defence, while it essays to
make New York and New Jersey occupy the
position of having by their exclusive' efforts,
saved the north from invasion. Whatever
New York or New Jersey conttibuted to this
defence was as much for their own good as it
was for the good of the Keystone State. At the
present hour Pennsylvania has forty thousand
men under arms, raised by her own State govern
meat, ready to meet the invader as they have
met him, and prevent him from passing over
our own soil to deal havoc and death to the
people of our neighboring northern States.
These men are overelaughed by the copperhead
clique in Pennsylvania, to make qapitel for the
Governors of New York and New Jersey. And
by this action it appeals that the leaders of the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania are deter
mined not only to disfranchise the soldier
while he is fighting the battles of the Union,
but that they have conspired to disgrace the
masses of their own State by insisting that
Pennsylvania is incapable of her own defence.
When the proper time comes, the volunteer
from this State will remember this attempt to
degrade him before the world.
Penusylvanift's Wounded.
In the glad acclaim to victory which now
swells on the lips of all true patriots, We must
not forget that there are thousands of wounded
men whe demand our immediate, kindest at
tention. Every woman and child can contibnte
something to the succor and comfort of the
•
wounded. It is not necessary to enumerate
what la.requisite to secure this comfort and one.
cor. Those who properly feel for the defenders
of the Government, will understand what the
wounded want, and hence we trust that every,
household in the Commonwealth is busily pre
paring something to be contributed to thici great
objebt. Governor Curtin has pledged himself
to take care of all the Pennsylvania wounded.
He is now actively engaged in making good
his pledge, and already arrangements have
been effected by which thousands of men can
be accommeAlati.d, their wauts supplied, their
sufferings assuaged and their full comfort
secured. Pennsylvania is not only preparing to
do this for her own sons, but she is wilting to
offer the same kindly attentions to the soldiers
oF other States, who were wounded while fight
ing in defence of her soil. The free hound of
the Keystone State are open to such as these.
They deserve our gratitude, and will ever be
remembered as the rescuers of the State and
the Union from destruction.

LATER INTELEIGENCE.
BALTIMORE, Sunday, Jtily 5
The Americans intelligence from the battle•
field, up to teu o'clock this morning, represents
the rebels holding a position in the mountains,
near Cashtown, and fortifying. General Meade
has advanc dto the enemy's lines. There has
been some skirmishing, but no battle. Pleasan
ton has captured a large train of the enemy and
many prisoners. The enemy left all his wound
ed in our bands, and thousands of dead. He
is believed to be retreating toward Hancock.
There is no truth in the report of the capture
of Longstreet or Hill. There is a dead Major
General in our hands—name unknown.
The enemy is undoubtedly asokiog to escape.
The body of Brig. Gen. Zook, killed in the
battle of Thursday, reached here yesterday

and Lieut. Fay'lle, of his etaff. Gen. Zook,
although appointed from New York, was born
in Montgomery county, Penha. He commanded
the Third brigade, First division, Second corps,

delphia to day. Gan. Gibbon, commanding tte
Second division of Hancock's corps, who was
wounded in the shoulder in the engagement of
Friday, reached here yestei day in companywith

Tumanoma, Monday, July 6-4 w m.
Major General Thomas has succeeded in
crossing the Elk river, with his corps and a
division of cavalry, under General Stanley, and
is In close pursuit of Bragg's army, with every
prospect of capturing their wagon train and
rear guard.'
Major General Sherman o:cupled Winchester
this morning, his advance driving out the rear
guard of the rebels, anti at last accounts he was
pushing them hard.
It is thought that Bragg can hardly cross the
mountains without suffering a mete loss and
perhaps being forced into a battle. Our loss
during the campaign in killed is between 400
and 600 ; wounded about 800. The enemy's
loss is more than double, besides about 1,000
prisoners ; and, without a battle and the neces
sary loss of life, the enemy have been driven
out of Tennessee.

With Men and Horses, Life Size!
Vast and compretensive, officially authentic
and minute in all its details.
The most extensive, popular and complete
exhibition of the kind before the public. Every
scene sketched upon the spot, and painted with
scrupulous fidelity by a corps of celebrated
artists. Commenced at the first breaking out
of the rebellion, It has been in steady progress
down to the present time, and showing every
event of importance connected with this terri
ble contest for liberty and Union, from the
bombardment of Sumter through a apace of
more than two years of hostilities to the last
grand battle, profuse with startling dioramic
effects, entirely new, and on a scale of ma;niti
mice never before attempted. The fire aLd
smoke of the advancing fort is seen : the
thunder of cannon and the din of the b.rttle•
field upon the ears of the audience, and the
tearful work of carnage and death is resented
with a distinctness and vividness mucking
reality, so that the audience can readily im•ag:ne
themselves actual spectators of the sublime and
stirring scenes represented.
