ARRIVALS OF MILITARY.
Last evening a company of fully ore hun
dred men, accompanied by a brass band, ar
rived here from Chester Valley, and went into
quarters at Camp Curtin. Three companies in
all reached here yesterday, and others are ex
pected to follow today. The whole number
of volunteers now in camp in this city is about
three thousand, and the work of forming them
into regiments is progressing as rapidly as
possible.
THE PENNSYLVANL4 ARMY,
The military force that has been assembled
at and near Chambersburg, within a few weeks,
consists almost entirely of Pennsylvanians.—
The whole number must now reach quite fif
teen thousand men, all infantry except a force
of about four hundred regular cavalry and
the first City Troop of Philadelphia. Maj. Gen.
Patterson is in command of this Pennsylvania
army, which has probably already begun to
advance into Maryland, with a view to the
ultimate occupation of Harper's Ferry. Al
though this force consists altogether of new
levies, the material of which it is com
posed is excellent, and we expect to hear
a good account of its operations before many
days.

WASHINGTON, June 5
No advance movement has been made in
Virginia, as far as is known in Washington at
this moment. But there is a great deal of ac
tivity and an unusual amount of secrecy which
excite expectation and curk,sity. The army in
Virginia is kept constantly ready for any sud
den attack from the enemy.
The Government has accepted the services of
the iron "railroad battery constructed is Phila
delphia some time ago for the Philadelphia and
Baltimore Railroad. It will be uted in the
Southern movement of the army, for the de
fence of such railroads as the Government may
repair and employ for military purposes.
Several locomotives and two hundred and
fifty horses, for the use of the army, arrived
here to-day from Pennsylvania.
It is understood that General . Scott disap
proves of sending a force to land at Acquia
Creek, not deeming it a point of sufficient im
portance to risk any number of men.
The Government has not yet decided what
disposition to make of Bartlett's Naval Brigade.
The morning papers here are filled with
flash accounts of immense movements of troops
Southward last night. But there is not a word
of truth in them.
There is great activity at the Washington
Navy Yard. Shells, grape and canister shot,
Minnie balls and percussion caps are turned
out in vast quantities. The steamer Monti
cello has been repaired and strengthened, and
she will receive two additional 32-pounders.
The Pensacola, (sioop-of-war,) carrying forty
four guns, besides a long pivot gun, will soon
be ready for service.
The Government has sent a quantity of tele
graph wire across the river. The intention is
to keep up communication with the War De
partment as the troops advance.
There is no confirmation here of the re
ported retirement of the rebels from Harper's
Ferry.
Newspapers from the North, addressed to
post offices in the rebel States, are accumu
lating in the Dead Letter Office in large
quantities. They will have to be sold as waste

THE FIGHT AT PHILLIPPI
LATER AND CORRECT FARIICULARS.
CINCINNATI. June 6.
The engagement at Phillippi took place at 5
o'clock on Monday morning.
The plan was well laid, but the impetuosity
of a few of the troops partially defeated the
surprbe and gave the rebels warning.
They fled in haste, leaving their baggage,
forty horses, four wagons loaded with pinvi
sions, and five hundred muskets.
Col. Kelly, in charging in advance
. of hi
men, was shot with a revolver in the breast by
a rebel, who had , charge of one of the provision
wagons. ,
The rebels numbered 1,500 men, and were
well armed and equipped ,
Further Particulars.
From the Wheeling, Va., Intelligencer, of June 4th. I
GRAFTON, June 4..
•
An engagement took place this morning, be
tween the United States troops and the rebel
forces encamped at ,Phillippi. Fifteen of the
traitors were killed, and from thirty to forty
prisoners secured. A large quantity of provi
sions and amunition was also secured. Some
forty or fifty horses and about four hundred
stand of arms were also captured. None of
the Federal troops were killed or wounded.
The Secessionists made good their escape. Col.
Kelly, of the First Regiment, was badly, if not
fatally wounded.
GRAFTON, June 3,6. P. M.—Col. Kelly is not
so badly wounded as was at first supposed C,ol.
W. J. Willey, the bridge burner, is among the
prisoners.
Seven o'clock, P. M.—Col. Kelly is shot in
the left breast. The ball has been extracted.
Will report his condition to you daily.
Account of an Eye Witness.
We learn from a gentleman who left Phillip
pi at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and arrived
here last night at 11, that the Secessionists
were routed about daylight yesterday morning.
They were not expecting an attack. They
were first fired upon from a battery attached to
an Indiana regiment. They fired one shot in
return and fled, leaving all their arms, horses,
provisions, ammunition, 'c. Col. Kelly with
his command was on the opposite side of the town
from where the fire commenced. Only two of
the Secessionists were killed, and not more
than half a dozen taken prisoners, among whom
is Willey, who was captured in the woods by
Capt. Geo. Robinson.
After the Secessionists fled, and Col. Kelly
was marching into town at the head of his
command, he was approached by a desperado
name -mart. Johnson, of Prunty town, who
an hi with a
in his breast. Johnson was immediately seized,
and would have been instantly pinioned to the
earth by a hundred b tyonets, but that the mag
nanimous colonel ordered the men to spare him.
It is thought that had the Indiana regiment
delayed fifteen minutes longer in opening the
fire, the whole sixteen hundred Secessionists
would have been captured.
