Cdtgrapt. HARRISBURG, PA Friday Eventig, July 10,1863 THE SITUATION THE IMPENDING BATTLE Public feeling is highly intensified, all over the country, in view of the impending battle between the forces of the Union• and those of the rebellion. That battle well decide the fate of the rebellion. On Its result depends the continuance of the armed resistance to the Government. If Lee is defeated, the bogus concern at Rich mond will be broken tip, and. those represent the rebel government (?). in a civil capacity,:be come a miserable band of wanderers, without position or habitation. It was understood in military circles this morning, that the Army of the Potomac had bivouacked, last night, fifteen miles from the main forces of Lee, and that the pickets of the two ramie; were in sight of each Other. If Lee, therefore, Is 'muttons to accept battle, it must be delivered to him! by Gen. Meade to-day: The rebels Must' either fight now in whatever entrenched position they have been able to secure, or continue. to avoid a battle for a day or two longer, and then. be compelled to fight on a comparatively open field. This is now about the pesitiOn of affairs. The battle Is momentarily - imminent. _ 'It may be even now raging., There wiu3 no fighting yesterdai 'brit-'last night General Buford' moved, out with his dlilaion, and is 'iinegfig the"enemy 11: Hagerstown, which thl,enemy occupied, with hialront extendinglroni Bakersville.to Failts l town, and thence around at a distance of from three to five . miles: None of their forces are in the neighborhood Of Sharpsburg or Shep herdstown. The rope ferry at the latter,place . . has been destroyed,-.and the only means of crossing , in the passession'ofithe enemyiarof at Williamsport. It appears that the rebels found a large•ainount of lumber.a:table Utter place, with which they built flattiotits. • They are fer ried across by means of ropes stretched from shore to shore.

For three or four months past, the attention of the loyal men of Pennsylvania was absorbed in watching the movements of Lee and his ragamuffins. In fact, ever since the war was precipitated, the loyal people of the free States have suffered neither pet eonal or political in terests to interfere with their duty to their country.. While this has been the due with the true men of all the States, and while it has been the case particularly with the Union men of Pennsylvania, advantage has been taken of the condition in which this course has left a certain political organization by a set of Unscrupulous and corrupt politicians, who hope to steal a po litical victory from the indifference of the peo ple as to political results, and thus aid the rebellion far more effectually than if the same men were to `enter the field, and fight side by side with Lee 'and his cut throats against-the Union. The copperhead candidate for Governor contributed his ,share to the. game which his friends are playing, when, he announced his resolationto enter on ticf canvass to secure his election. This is intended to throw the Union men of the State off their guard, as there is no 'doubt that Judge Woodward has already entered actively on the campaign to secure such an election, and even at the present hour of peril to the country, " the absorbing business of every copperhead leader in the State, is to perfect the organization and harnibrii Of ' the discordant cliques of which' hat patty is eomPosed,4 Llt is time that the Union men of the Statetof Penn sylvaniawere apprised of these ,facts. While loyal men are zealously and, patriotically en gaged hi fighting the battles of the Union— while Republicans in the field and Republicans at home are bending their energies to the over throw of the rebellion—while all good citizens are devoting:themselves to the uses,of the Government in counteracting the isfluencee of treason:the only work ildoh the Deniocratie leaders deem worthy of attention, is Matt which 'wornness the success of their, party and the .em barrassment and defeat of those in power who are grappling with rebellion. Jeff. Davis is not more anxious for the failure of the National Administration, than is Judge Woodvitird:'The Richmond Enquirer is not more illiberal in 'its attacia on the friends of that administration, than 'are all the organs which, reprtent the copperhead organization. The Democratic leaders are perfecting their, organization for the sole puriose of overthrowing both the State and National Adnulia- Mitions. guchtiefinri3rthrofr Is expected-to secure the Blleatkiii•ol two great objects., It•wild ,place Democrecy,and:,elavery once more in power, and! thus of course end the rebellion, because the rebels will have gained all they conspired to, achieve. —ln view of these facts, It is hnportant that the , loyal 'Men 'of Pennsylvania at once, Commence a' vigorous 'organization. paying !..a proper attention!, to, a ,v4oroos: party organization,, ue.,c u l only, defeat thei machinations of the coppei head , sympathi= tiers with treason, who are concentrating allthelr evil 'infitiennes to secare , victory atAIM polls next October. Such a 'success would , bei more blighting to' the Canso Orilla Union than if Lee had marched with fire and sword over every acre Of the Stateejof Pennsylvania.: Far better would it be for the people of Pennsyl* nia at once to pus . :ATOfaiiiince of secessiod than to wait a few for the purpose of placing'the State under Urn' control 'of 'orre'so utterly indifferent to the cause of the Union as Judge Woodward. The contemplation of such a probability is at once frightful and appitiling, It Must not he viewed , with indifference: All good men at home must .4., once go to work and organize.

THE SENTIMENTs or A TRAITOR.—WhiIe the tebels were in possession of Carlisle they used tie office of the American Democrat to print their • 'orders," "blanks," Sm. Before they evacua ted the office, Capt. J. G. Gorman, Co. C, 2d :N. C. Troop, "set up" and left in a "stick" the following as expressive of hie sentiments : "I am in for the war, or "till death; am in favor of peace, only on the bads of eternal sepa- Etion ; would rather see the Land of Dixie a undless desert, its male citizens rotting on ttle fields, its mothers and daughters perish ling with hunger - and its children outcasts and beggars in a strange land, than accept a peace bn any other terms. I would as soon fraternize with the damned of hell, as the canting hypo crites of the North, and had I Omnipitent power would build a gulf of fire as boundless as immensity between the two nations that are now arrayed in arms against each other." —Such a manifestation in "type" must have been cheering for the copperheadiam of the Democrat proprietors. A Goon Dona TO ESCAPE THE DRAFT.-ODe of the amiable and excellent Quartermasters belonging to our army, and whose residence Is in our present neighborhood, at Millerstown, relates the following incident, which will admit of a repetition: • • It seems that, while the rebel Jenkins with his cavalry were in occupation of the above named, town some dozen of the male inhabi tants thereof voluntarily surrendered , them selves to him,'and at the same time stating that they desired to be paroled, in order that they might have sufficient:reason for, not complying with the expected Draft, should they be among the number drafted. :nnati hEad- E .81 in- agger- , thred ching Our Jenkins, upon questioning plain in referer to their, political sentiments; ten stated that they were Copperheads, while two boldly avow ed themselves Union men. The question was asked of these tbn which they would rather fight for, Jeff. Davis or Lincoln each of whom answered, for Davis. • Upon tali he called ten of his orderlies, ordered them to dismount, and told the ten Coperheads to, mount, come with him to his camp, and he would arm and equip The ,matter assuming so'nauch of a serious form, the whole ten; in an earnest manner; "begged off." Jenkins let them go, and with the remark that had they such among them in the South, every "mother's son" of them would be shot without judge, or jury, and concluding With the remark thathe honored the true out spoken tnion men, but that he loathed such detestable traitors as themselves.

IRK CAVALRY WORKING DISTRGOTITN THE REBELS DRIVEN BACK HEM PLEASONTON IN THEIR REAR ,OUR kORCES READY FOR BATTLE The nunaber of wagons destroyed by our cam- 'alry. is over 500. . Buford destroyed 200 on Monday, Dahlgren destroyel 170 on the same day. On Saturday and Sunday Kilpatrick burned, captured and destroyed between 200 and SOO. Fully one third of the transportation of the rebel arnrij has been destroyed, anCtile damage to timin'of fully,twice what tharare Able to carry out of Pennsylvanie. The cavalry, under the vigorous leadership of Pleasanton and his sub ordinates—Buford, Gregg and.Kilpattick—have done immense service during the past ten days. They'have truly filled the mission of cavalry. During a battle they have harrassed the enemy on flank and rear, have dispersed and defeated his own cavalry, have destroyed his trains,. and won a reputation equal to that of our infantry. Of course, they have experienced heavy losses In men and horses, and they are still actively at work keeping up a lively front. Yesterday the enemy pressed our cavalry back upon Boonsboro, and at sundown threw a few shells into the place. Buford then dis mounted his whole command, his horses being very much exhausted, and fought the rebels on foot for two hours, finally driving them clear back to Antietam creek. From a captured letter we learn that • the rebels are trying to °shove a 'portion of their force and their wounded across •the river at Shepherdstown. ' Pleasanton will storthat tun day. The rebels have run the greater portion of their trains into a valley, near Williamsport; and covered that:flyby artillery "posted on the south side of .the Potomac. • The prospect of another collision increases. Bcosesoso r Md., Thursday, July 9-3 P. 14. The rebels Were drawn up in line of battle this morning at's place called Benevola, three and a half miles from this point, on the road to Hagerstown. From there-they extended down toward the Potomac in the vicinity of Bakers villa, From, a citizen who was in Williamsport to- day,• and 'whose statements are trustworthy, I learn. that the rebels were slowly passing their wegons and 'wounded over the 'river. They positively had battwb flat-boats in use. They ere bringl,pg well hick, showing' their inten tion to'nutke a furthe stand—at least until- they, can safely cross. They appear to be in consid- , erable.confusion, Men 'being more or less subordinate for lack of something to eat. They are harassing. the citizens greatly for provisions,and say they have actually drawn no rations for en days, and have lived on what they have picked np. - They are throwing up rifle pits in the vicinity of Fairplay, and probably will await our attack. If so, anotherdesperatebattle may be expected within : two days. Oar forces are so disposed now that a collisionmiry occur almost any hour. A ;reconnoissance made from this point to Sharpaburg and the Potomac at Shepherdotown to-day, establishes the fact that there. is no I enemy in that vicinity, and no possibility of the enemy crossing there at any point below. The river.is notfordable—so the public.cam rest easy about Maryland Heights and , Ilarpees,FetrY, .neitherof which points .is worth a strawy to, either force. , • Pig INVASION OF ,INDIOA, R==l Morgan. in the State, with from Six to Eight Thousand Troops.

OPERATIONS ON THE . PENINSULA [From the Richmond Enquirer, Tuly 6.] The events in the vicinity of the city, since Friday night last, gave rise to many interesting rumors, which, however, having generally ex ploded, it is unnecessary to repeat. At mid night Friday, until early Saturday, there was heavy cannonading along the entire line of the enemy near the White House, which laid the foundation for one very large surmise of a bloody battle by moonlight, bat no such battle having occurred, we are left to conjecture that the demonstration was only a Fourth of July salute from the gunboats and batteries of the enemy. Nothing occurred during the morning to in dicate an advance from the enemy, but in the evening our pickets at Baltimore Cross Roads, five miles below Bottom's-Bridgei wore driven in by a strong detachment fromßarhamville, the advance post of the enemy's force in that direction. On yesterday the "situation" there was quiet. The heavy cavalry force which had been sent up through HineWilliam, Caroline and Han over, on a epeeist raid, proceeded on Saturday to tear up the track on portions of the Central road, cut the telegraph wires,. and done miscel laneous tricks of - damage and rascality. About the, break of day, On-yesterday, a por tion of this force, about one hundred strong, appeared:advancing neon South Anna Bridge, on the Fredericksburg Railroad. They were met by our troops, repulsed, and driven back. They escaped with some Ices, the extent of which is not known to us. They then pro needed to Ashland, where they . burned'the I station, water-tank and telegraph,. office, and I tore up about one , hundred and fifty: aids of track. The telegraph operator narrowly es caped capture. The instruments of the office fell into:the bands of the enemy and were car ried off. The fight of South. Anna is described - as having been .a very animated aftair, the cofiict continuing for a considerable , distance along the road. The raiders are still at "large." The )Manion of Alexander 11.
