Ef AIIMZELSLBT, Secretary. THE SITUATION. RAIN, RAIN, RAIN I During all last night and this morning, it was raining in torrents , in this region. From what we can learn, the storm prevailed greatly towards the South, and thus, of course, the flood which has by this time began to rush from the mountaios will swell every stream in South ern Fetuotylvanis and Maryland until the banks of .the Potomac are overflowed by the immense body of water, which is being hourly added to to its stream. This was the first fact which seemed to strike every mind this morning. The Potomac river rendered impassable—its floods sweeping off every preparation which the rebels may have made to cross into Virginia, gives Meade immense advantages. It places the rebels at his mercy. It'leaves Lee no chance of escape. The plunder which he has with kis army is a burden to it, now that that army Cannot cross the river. He is in the position of the man who found himself in the desert, the possessor of a diamond, with neither bread or meat to satisfy hie hunger. Truly, we may re gard the condition of the rebels, not only those who are sutrounded by Meade's forces, bat throughout the entire South, as utterly hope less. They are emphatically in their last ditth. TEIS" 11017SMUNTS Or THU 11.11M/3. The movements of the rebel army are now all for the defensive. Lee's first great ob ject is to secure the escape of his shattered and baffled legions. Whether he can do this in the neighborhood of Williamsport, or - Whether he will be compelled to give Meade battle, and then succeed in effecting his escape at Hancock, are results in regard to which we only can con jecture. Certain it is, that Meade is pushing Lee just as hard as human limbs can be put in motion, and with the advantage of the prestige of success on the side of Meade. The only chance Lee has, is in constantly keeping in. motion. All the time consumedin marching is advantageous to the rebels, unless by rein foreements Meade shall be enabled completely to surround the rebate, leaving them no chance to escape, and compelling them to accept battle When and where they will be certain to be defeated. This battle, it was reported last night, Meade had forced the rebels to fight, de feating and demoralleing them to such an ex tent as to leave them entirely at his mercy. Of this battle, however, we have no detailed ac- counts. We are only assured of its haviog been fought 'with the result named. If the report is confirmed, then indeed have we gained S 'victory 'ERERSTLYANIA RELIEVED OF TRH R.P,8ED:,... Four weeks since the rebels entered tiriState of Pennsylvania, their presence being tbosigural for a general uprising with the brave and . a speedy outgoing among those who had no no tion of lighting. Since then one of the grf Jatest battles of the war has been fought and w on on the soil of Pennsylvania, and now we b .ave the satisfactory Intelligence to announce ' that not a single armed rebel remains within our bor ders. THY EIIBII TO TIM BATITLE 111 Ix Hundreds and even thousands of people are daily pouring through this city en r outs for the battle-lield at Gettysburg. Many of these are seeking their friends, supposed to I .te among the wounded, but the larger portion s re the morbid curiosity seeking who find a sort of pleasure in beholding the ravages and the misery of war. THE MILITIA AT wO3 IS The militia sent forward fro) , a this city are busily engaged in picking up d eserters from the rebel army and forwarding ti Lem to this point.

Ahir to e r dhpace. The Consequences of the Defeat of Lee. Every journal in the country has something to offer its readers on this subject ; but those most able to judge of the effects of the defeat of Lee, are the Southern journals understanding and representing Southern sentiment. By one of theie journals it is claimed that the defeat of Lee by the Army of the Potomac, will be received at the South with the most astounding effe „eet, and will be considered by the masses as the signal for the falling to pieces, beyond re suscitation, of the rickety fabric called the "Southern Confederacy.” The succesa hither to enjoyed by Gen. Lee, in being enabled to preserve his army from the assaults which had been made against it, by our forces, notwith standing he had never shown sufficient gener 'airship to avail of our reverses or mistakes, bad secured to him so much confidence in the minds of the officials at Richmond and the people of the South, that such an idea as the possibility of the entire defeat or dispersion of his army appears never to have entered their minds. The confident and dictatorial tone of the rebel press, and the calm confidence which the general orders and proclamations of Lee and i hie officers evinced on entering into this State, very clearly show the unbounded confidence which was entertained of the most triumphant success of his mission into Maryland and Penn sylvania, whatsoever may have been the special object of his invasion, whether by rapid marches into the heart of Pennsylvania, and by the, seizure of Philadelphia, and all its riches, holding it as a hostage for his own safety, or for the terms of peace which be vainly imagined [he could dictate to our Government—or by a successful march upon Baltimore and Washing ton, secure the eclat of the capture of the capi ta of the nation, and thus obtain for the con federacy of which he was the, champirin,- the recognition of some of the great powers of, Europe, eud perhaps such alliances as would' enable them to obtain material aid in this their time of utmost need. It is very certain that the rebels considered the army of the Potomac as In such a demora lized condition after the result of the Chancel lorsville affair, that its defeat whenever it was brought face to face with their own veteran legions, was inevltable—they'have never failed to speak of the late commander of our army in the most contemptuous terms, and consideied him in no degree as possessing talents and gen eralship suitable to enable him to cope with their favorite general. Their plans and expec tations were reasonable, from the stand-point in which things were viewed in Dixie, but un fortunately for the rebels, they have once more experienced the utter defeat of their most cherished schemes to secure the success of their cause. The consequences of the defeat of Lee, will soon be manifested at the South, by open defi ance to the central goverament. it is believed that North Carolina has been alone restrained from throwing off the yoke of Jeff Davis, for fear of the vengeance of that army, in its pas sage through their State to the cotton region— and it was but a day or two ago that the-Rich mond Sentind, allusion to the press there charged them:with calling themselves "censer, vatives," and. that "they are employing all their art in tralnilug their leaders with wrong ,sentiments"- —that' 'they go so far as they dare," land "that they suggest more than they dare say." Doubtless as soon as the coast is clear, a move ment will be inaugurated in that patriotic old State, which will eventuate very speedily in her return to her allegiance, from which she never ,could have in en swerved but for the machina tions and fre ads which were practiced upon other Stalls like her; the fire-eaters of South Carolina, andi the political demagogues of Vir ginia, one on. each side of her, may be said to have literally forced North Carolina from her steadfastness to the Union, and to have thrown b er into -the arms of the harlotry of rebellion. The destruction of the entire army of Lee is now imminent, and if there is any portion of it able to recross the Potomac, even, they will be met with other obstacles before they can reach the Rappahannock again, which they lit tle expected when they crossed into Pennsyl vania. A few days, however, will determine their fate. Meade is pressing them with great energy, and the cavalry forces of our army are now proving their groat value by their opera ions upon the flsnks of the retreating rebels, When trill the War End: This is a question that is anxiously ask ed by the people, as they now contemplate the awful results of battle. They want the war to be brought to a close as speedily as possible, that peace may be restored to the country and prosperity once more bless its industry and enterprise. Hence the question is asked, When will the war end? We will answer, that the war will be ended long before they have a froit in Pennsylvania, provided the people are care ful that the politicians of the loyal States do not Interpose and prevent its vigorous posecn tion. Gen. Meade has done with the Army of the PotomayWhat none of its former command ers did. He has won a victory with practical results. He has not merely led that army through carnage and death, but he has Made it the author of great results immediately operating for the destruction of this 'rebellion, and instantly influential for good to tbe Gov eminent All this has disappointed'thepoliti clani. J It has left chagrin on the countenances of the copperheads. It has filled the opeu,, sympathizers with treason with alarm. will all endeavento counteract the infinenceof, , the results achieved by`the Army of the Foto- MSC in Pennsylvania, so that if the peopleare not careful no good will come out of this last fighting. Hence, if the authorities are real ously Supported—if the operations of the army in -the field are seconded by the efforts of !the people at home, the war will soon exidend M a victory as complete as ever crowned any lag. All that is now needed to convince the South of the folly of farther resisting -the Govern ment, is the evidence that the people of:the free States are united in its support. All that , fe reMilt,eti to prove tiai nniy;' is to pat olpwn , ..03 , 10PAY TM/ 'treason in our ' 4R,ni l dst. Mien this le'dpnvour arnaksr.catu,l4rotruPA : ' orkiver73lt944orthe rnrdi General Meade When the change which placed General Meade at the head of the Army of the Potomac was announced, people were allucst tempted to despair, elm ply because it was imagined that as the change in command had been made in the critical hour when battle was imminent, defeat ouly would follow as an unavoidable re sult. Neb„dy objected to Meade, as objections might have been misconstrued and the person thus obje:ting subjected tc harsh treatment. Nobody approved, or at least few outside of the army applauded the appointment of Meade to ; the command of the Army of the Putomac, as people were fearful lest failure should leave them In the plight of a lack of judgment on the merits of men. Meade took command in the darkest hour of the Republic. He was known only to soldiers—known only to that limited circle of the army into which the dvilianis not allowed to intrude, and where often unjust prejudices against, and unfair estimate of, the mass are cultivated and encouraged. Thus elevated to power and command, uncheeted by the voice of popular approval,. the soldier Meade was loft alone to himself, his ability and his patriotism. He was untrammelled by politicians. The leaders of cliques had no time to tempt him. The ambition of Cabinet offi• cers, paralyzed at the moment by the general fear, shrank from meddling with his almost impromptu plans. He was supported not advised by the civil branch of the Government This was Gen. Meade's position. Had he failed, he alone would have been responsible for the re sult. Now that he has thus far succeeded, to him alone belongs the glory of the victory. To Gen. Meade and the brave men who fought at his compared, belong the glory of destroy ing the rebel army which was the pride and boast of the rebel government. Canfldai►d Effect. Mr. Claiborne F. Jackson, the last elected Governor of Missouri, who was chosen as a Douglaa Democrat, but who became a Jeff. Davis traitor and died a fugitive and exile from the State, which, had he remained loyal, he would have continued to , govern, is a disunion manifesto at the outset of the rebellion, thus elucidated the philosophy of the case : " The destiny of the Slaveholding States is one and the same. SO LONG AS A STATE CONTINUES TO MAIN TAIN SLA.VIEST WITHIN HER LIMITS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEPARATE HER NATO FROM THAT OF HER SISTER STATES WHO HAVE THE SAME SOCIAL °ROAST:AL TION." We wish our " conservative" friends who are trying to uphold at once the Union and Slavery would ponder the above words. The whole philosophy of the Bebellion and of Emancipa tion as' its radical cure is enfolded in those words. TEM. AILTILLKRY &RIMS in the battle of Get tysburg is reported to have been the moat effec tive, in point of precision and destruction, during the entire war. On the 3d of July, the cannoned* was awful. It iyas the most ter tibia artillery fight on record. The attack was on the centre and left, with harassing incur sions and shell throwing on theerny's flank by our cavalry. The fifth co re, occupying the position it did the day before, escaped this fight, excepting the artillery, all of which was engaged. The invasion of Penni) , lvania not only afforded our artillerymen a splendid op portunity to prove their superiority, but it gave our cavalry also the chance of establishing their efficiency over that' of the same arm in the rebel service. In theee two branches of the rebel army great pains had been taken to secure perfection. Lee boasted of the power of his artillery and the eplendor of his cavalry. The south depended on both artillery and cav alry for their first great victory, and as they have been defeated in a fair fight, it forever establishes the superiority of the e ame service as developed by the men of the free States. IT is worthy of remark, that while almost every field of strife is reddened with the blood of some distinguished general, commencing with Lyon, at Springfield, down to the death of Gen. Berry, at Ghancellorsville, and Maj. Gen. Rey nolds at Gettysburg, we have 'lost no great naval commander, until the death of Rear Admiral Foote, and even he died of disease and not by the band of the enemy. Death has strangely spared them. Dupont, Farragut, Stringham, the two Porters, Worden, and others who fought our first naval battles, are still among us, a terror to the foes of the Union. The Siege of Vicksburg.

Nato bbicap. From the Army of the Potomac, The Rebel Army at the Potomac, THEIR CHANCES OP ESCAPE Berantoes, July 7. The American's special from Frederick says that parties who left Hagerstown to-day report that the head of the rebel army bad already commenced crossing there, and that there seemed to be ,indications that it was to be massed, perhaps to try conclusions again with the Army of the Potomac. This is, however, very doubtful ; the greater probability is that Lee will push as rapidly on to the river as possible, and try to regain for his army on the soil of Virginia the confidence and prestige they have lost on this side of the Potomac. if, with his army buoyant and as sured of victory, he could not win at Gettys burg, how can he expect to do so now, when the conditions are so greatly changed. San guine people may dream of bagging or annihi lating a great army, but doing so is next to an impossibility. The Potomac above Harper's Ferry makes a considerable bend' to the northward, and Lee's lines of retreat to the river are shorter than any other that we can pursue, though the rebels may reach the other side of the Potomac with out farther punishment, it will still not be for the want of effort on our part to inflict it on them. Our cavalry, under Pleasanton, is on their flank, and will not fail to strike hard. Bu ford, Gregg and Kilpatrick, are miles in front of here, and the advance of our infantry col umns is also where it ought to be. The South Mountain passes are ours, and with these evi dences of further possible success, we must await restate. • Comparing various estimates which reach me, I think our captures will reach 9,000 or 10,000. To this number is to be added badly wounded, stragglers aad deserters, which our cavalry are gathering in by hundreds. The rebel loss. in killed and wounded, can hardly fall below 12,000 or 13,000, which will swell their total loss to 25,(00, or one-third of the 75,000 men Lee brought over with him. Of prisoners we lost none, except a few officers whom 103 was able to carry off. Three thousand of our men who fell into his hands be paroled, but the pa role is of no effect under the terms of the new cartel, because General Meade refused to agree to it. DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF REBEL LTTLOK ON DONLIASONVILLB A DISASTROUS REPULSE REBEL LOSS SIN HUNDRED One Htuoired aEd Twenty Prisoners Captured ranola Captured by the Union Forces I== Nfur Yeas, July 7. The steamer Oahawba has arrived, with New Orleans dates of the 30th, via Fcrtrese Monroe. The New Orleans New Era states that a large rebel - force under Gen. Greene approached Donaldsonville on the 27th, demanding a sur render. Of course this was refused. The rebels demandei the removal of the women and ehildren, and at half-past one on the morning of the 28th, the rebels made a vigorous attack in force. The battle lasted till daylight, three hours, when the rebels were repulsed with heavy loss. Oar loss was E killed and 14 wounded, including among the latter two of& eers. No gunboats participated in the action. Up to noon on Monday, our forces had buried 64 dead rebels, and were very busy burying more. It is estimated that 100 dead rebels were left on the field, and the entire rebel loss is 600. We took 120 prisoners, including 11 commissioned officers, among whom are a colonel, two majors, and one captain. A rebel lieutenant colonel, two majors, and 5 lieutenants were killed. The rebel newspapers received at New Orleans state that the Federals had captured Panola, Mississippi, destroying a large amount of rebel property, and cutting off Johnston's communi cations and supplies.

Between 8,000 and 10,000 rebels, under Holmes, Price, and Marmaduke, made an at tack on Helena on the morning of the 4th of July. They advanced In three columns, but the roughness of the ground was such as to prevent the rebels from bringing up artillery. They attempted to carry the works by assault. The centre column charged in the direction of Fort Curtis, and tcok three lines of rifle-pits. The flank attack was not so successful, which subjected the centre to an enfilading fire which swept them down in great numbers. They were soon surrounded, and one whole brigade, or what was left of it, numbering 910, fell into our hands, 740 of whom arrived here this morn ing. Among them are Col. Lewis, of the 7th Missouri, Col. Johnson and CoL Gen. l'rentlss was aware of the contemplated •attack; and was prepared. He bad about 4,000 men, and was assisted by the gunboat Tyler. The prisoners say the battle will be renewed. The battle commenced at 4 o'clock, A. n., and continued till 10 A. la. The rebel loss is fifteen hundred killed, wounded and prisoners. The entire Federal loss is not over one hundred.— Clan. Prentiss is confident that he can repetany assault. It is thought that the sebel depmda- Gone near Lake Providence were to draw the gunboats to that point, and thus to give them a :better opportunity at Helena.
