The movements of the several divisions of
the army within the last week, and more par
ticularly within, the last forty-eight hours, in
dicate that we are either soon to have a battle,
or the rebels, sill retire from their strongholds
in Virginia."' Harper's Ferry seems to be the
poidt in view, and id that direction the army
is moving in several grand divisions, headed
by experienced officers and folly armed and
equipped for a desperate encounter of some
character. Without pretending to know any
thing positive in regard to these movements,
we can fairly infer, however, that a battle is
not far off—that an effective blow of some
kind is about to be struck, and that the gov
eminent will soon manifest its power to crush
this rebellionin Virginia, where it now pre
pares to army its greatest force, or that the
rebels themselves will prove their ability to
maintain themselves where they are now en
trenched. It IS certainly time, now, that we
had a battle, at least an encounter to test the
mettle and the ability of the men in both ar-
Mies. It will settle the question of prestige,.
which will also decide the result of the cam-

fight, thei•are defeated forever. If their col
umns are broken and their armies dispersed,
they can never again be rallied under the.
eame officers. Ttebels are generally cow
. They ire' easily panicised, and
Tight with disadvantage under the most
iatispickids circumstances.' There is nothing
enduring hi their victories—nothing substan
tial in their achievements. On the ether side,
the govemment troops fight for tangible; iirac
tical results. - They struggle to preserve, while
their fads contend to'ilestroy. If the govern
ment forces should happen to be defeated- in
the first battle, it will only arouse-the country
to greater. energy. Reverses tripur cause will
haVe the influence to reviie any latent power
yet unaroused among . the great resources of the
government. Under any circumstances, there 7
fore, the first battle will result in the benefit
of the government. If we defeat the rebels,
we end the war—if the government troops are
defeated, we inaugurate and arouse our korces
for a future and more vigorous prosecution of
the war, - the result of which will of course fall
heaviest on the rebels themselves.
'
The public mind in the north must be pre
pared, therefore, to receive the result of the
first battle calmly. If we are victorious, and
it seems' now impossible for us to be otherwise,
we, must be prepared to go on calmly with the
government, enforcing the laws where our
arms have gained their victories, with dignity
and self respect._ If we are defeated, and such
might be the result, as all things are possible,
our neat duty will be 'to rally with greater
strength in augmented numbers, and the ,
victory Will be certain and complete. , We
therefore await the result of the first battle
with hope and confidence.
Till Amazes of the Border State Convention,
recently held at Frankfort, Ky., has hem:4W)-
lished•in pamphlet forth, but we do not deem
it of sufficient" importance to lay before our
readers, as the time for such theorizing on the
parte the•border states is past. In justice to
the committee that framed this paper, it is ne
weary to state that / strong grounds are taken
gakk disunion.. ,It is evident, from the fol
lowing paragraph, that the committee cannot
recognise disunion under any circumstances,:
" It is ptoper for us to say that in our opin
ion the, constitution delegates to no one de
partment of the government, nor to all of them
combined, the power to destroy the govern
remit itself,as would be done by the division
of the country into separate confederacies, and
that the obligation exists to maintain , the Obn
stitutien of the:United States, and to_ preserve
the Union'
A very strong appeal is made to the people
to settle the national difficulties, and to - omit
hostilities before the devastations of war shall
be npon us. The people of the border states,
are now convinced that the battle of the Union
is to be fought on their soil. Hence their-ap
peals for peace.. Four months since, when it
wail secretly understood that South Carolina
intended to force :the government into the
idepthin of such measures as she in her as
gumption of power might dictate, the border
states had no appeal to make for peace. When
the preparations were going on to starve or
cat to pieces the hopeless garrison of Fort Sum
ter, there was cry for peace. All then was just
and chivalrous, because the traitors seemed
potential, while the people of the great north
and west were npparently indifferent to the re
,eolt. Circumstances since have changed the
-position of the parties engaged in' this fearful
struggle, and the' government having once
'gathered 03 strength,. ie now prepared to crush
those, who have sworn its destruction. At such
an hour it is useless for any set of men, how
eler responsible infiY` baie been .their former
Pcisition,to inteposeior peace. It is useless
for those who were silently sympathizing with
,Faession when it was preparing for'the assault,
to interpose for the safety of itiadlierents when
it becomes known that they are impotent for
mischig, Peace must either be inured by the
'lm - conditional surrender of the rebel forces, the
giving up of their leaders to justice, or it will
be forced upon them by such chastisments as
will forever put at rest the spirit of rebellion
in.this government It wilfbe a' peace based
on a firmer foundation than a compromise or
concession—a peace made lasting'. by the dis
play of •the unmistakable Power of this govt
ernment to maintain itself.

THE ARMY FRAUDS
The United States Grand Jury, of which n
thou E. Roberts of Lancaster county as
foreman, have made a report. The 'Jury has
been engaged for some time in investigaing
the frauds alleged to have bean per
-
in
r.i. ,i
supplyibg the army with clothing and
ions, and their report was looked for With . co -
siderable interest. It appears from the repot
that if wrong was done, those who perpetratel
it have succeeded in covering it up as they pa
sed from one act to another, because the Gran
Jury was not able to bring a single fact to im
plicate a single individual in these trausactions. l
The character of the'festimonY before them was
vague and ansatisfactory--tuid in thelanguw
of the report, "the perpetration of frauds have ,
been detected, these' fraudilnitre been so case,
fully concealed . , so sedulously guarded by the
pariles (*Madding them, diet the Grand Jury
has found it impossible so to separate them as
to he able to present . cases,.. Which would
properly bring the guilty pa:ties under t
jurisdiction of this Court."_
The Grand Jury complain that no written co
tract existed between the Government agent
and the parties furnishing sup Plies. On this ttoil
lave the inability to deteot the guilty patties,
and also on the fact that no samples were pm
served of ' the articles bid for and the articles
supplied: On this portion of the investigitiOn
the report declares that the requisitions iariper&
to have been -made simply as, to quantity ;.
..
quality and -price were rarely referred to, and
. _
for ought that the jury could learn to the con
trary, the orders were filled or not, as suited
the disposition of the sellers. Beyond the
mere issuing of the requisitions, the acting
agents appear to have given the subject no fur
ther consideration; If the"partleil filling the
requisitions did not avail themselves of the
doors for fraud, thus freely and 'widely opened,
the fault was not with these Government 1
lagencies. .
This failure on the part of .the U. S. Grand
Jury:to detect the 'perpetrators of the alleged
frauds, will throw additional responsibility
upon the Commlssioners mently_ appointed by
Gov. Curtin. . These Commissioners ai;eino*
busily engaged in their investigation, and until
they have concluded and reported, we must of
course withhold any allusion as to' what may
possibly be the result of their investigation.
We dare .express the hope, howeVer, that it
will be more satisfactory than the report of tt's
U. S. Grand Jury.
Tux Pitosaurrox or Summon is contained in
the fact that the Constitution no where in any
of its sections provides for such a measure. It
has made provision for the admission of new
data into, but does not contain a single word
on the subject of states going out of the Union.
It reposes the right in the'federal government
t 6 declare war, make peace, form treaties, coin
money, but no where gives any of these rights
to the several states, which implies .that the
assumption of any one - of them would be a vio
lation of the laws growing out of the said pro
visions of the Constitution.
The Constitution provides peaceable remedies
for.all wrongs. - It sanctions by legislation any
change in the laws of the land made necessary
by the public wants, butrefusee the recognition
of any movement by which the peace.of society
is placed In jeopardy or its disrupture violently
threatened. It does not authorise a change
of government by mititary . force or revolution.
'lt does not sanction the arming of the people
for any other purpose than to repel invasion or
crush insurrection. Therefore the rebels are
again violating the expressed and the implied
provisions of the Constitution.
There is nothing in the Constitution that
either, authorizes secession or guarantees it en
couragement. should it succeed. It in every
respect forbids its' existence,. and provides for
the punishment of those, who ,essay to put it
into practice. The Constitution exists by the
Union. Destroy the one,: and you render the
practical operatiOns of the other impotent and
ineffectual. ' , . ,

IFULL DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR
BALTIMORB, Jim 11.
A steamer from Old Point Comfort has arriv
d, with the following intelligence, Med' St
Fortress Monroe last evening :
This has been an exciting and sorrowful day
at 011 Point Comfort.' Gen. Butler having
learned that the rebels were forming an en
trenched catwi pith EttrootliatterieS at Great
VetlielitTrie mnei fairailampton, on the York
town road, deemed it necessary to dislodge
them. Accordingly movements were made
last night from Fortress Monroe and Newport
News.
About midnight' Col. Duryea's Zonaves and
Col. Townsend's. Albany Regiment creased the
river at Hampton by means of six large bat
teaux, manned by the naval brigade, and took
up the line of march. The former were some
two miles in advance of the latter. At the
sametime Col. l3enedis's regiment with a detach
ment of the Vermont and Massachusetts regi
ments at Newport News moved forward to
form a junction with =the regiments from For
tress Monroe, at Little Bethel, about half way
between Hampton.and Great Bethel.
The Zonaves passed Little Bethel at about
4A. M. Benedies regiment arrived• next and
took a position at the intersection of the
roads. Not understanding the signal, the Ger
man regiment, in the darkness of the morning
fired upon Col. Townsend's column, marching
in close order and led' by Lieut. Butler, son of
Gen. Butler and also his aid; with two pieces of
artillery. Other accounts say that Col. Town
send's regiment fired first, At all events the
fire of the Albany regiment was harmless,
while that of the Germans was fatal, killing
one man and fatally wounding two others,
with' several slight cansualities.
TheAlbanylleginkent being back the Germans
discovered from the accontremenfe left on the
field, that the supposed enemy was a friend.
They bade in the meantime fired nine rounds
with. small arms and a field pie*. The
Zotitives heating the fire had turned and fired
also npon:the Albany boys. At daybrelik Col.
Allen's and Col. Carvi's regiments moved from
the rear of the fortress to support the main
body. The mistake at little Bethel having been
ascertained, the buildings were burned and a
major, with two proniment secessionists named
Livery and Whiting, were made prisoners. •
The troops then a'dvanced upon Great Bethel
in the following order : The Zouaves, Col.
Bendix,WAlL Col. Washburn,,.Col. Allen and
Col. Cam: At thatpoint our regiments formed
and succeislVbM endeavored to take the large
masked battery of the secessiJnists. The ef.
fort was futile; our three small pieces of artil
lery not being able cope with the heavy rifled
cannon of the enemy, according to rope ac
counts thirty in number.
The rebel battery was so completely Masked
thittlp,o; uum could be seen,4but the flashes of
guns only. There were probably leas than 1,000
men .behind the battery
.otthe rebels.. A well
concerted movement might have secured the
.position, butlirig. ; Gen. lierce,;!bo,colximand
'ed tfi ," seemed eexpedition to haie 'lost his pre-
Bence of mind..
. „
The .Trby regiment stood an hour exposed to
a galling fire. An order to retreat waa at last
given, but at that Moment Lieut. (treble of
the United States Army, and, in command' "of
the artillery:;wasiatruck•by a cannon ball and
Instantly killed. He had spiked his gun and
was gallantly endeavoring to withdrew his'
command.
Captain George W. Vlloon, of the Troy
regiment, after the order, .to.retreat, took pos
&Wht of the gnu, and, with Qtiarter Master
McArthur, brought it off, the 'field, with, the
corpse of hie beloved -- 'Lientenant. They
brought them to Fortress Monroe this even
ing. There are probably twenty-five killed and
one hundred wounded. Lieutenant Butler de
serves the, greatest credit for bringing, ff the
killed and wounded. 'Several of the latter are
now inthe hoaplial here. -
It should have been stated that Col. M'Ches
ney's regiment formed a reserve, and that Col.
Hawkins' regiment moved from Newport News
during the day._ 'The armed *easels went .rip to'
Newport News, excepting the Cumber!and. Ail
the regiments are now probably at their former
quarters. Much indignation =is manifested
against Brig. Ge - n. Pierce.
General tutler bus been doing ill in his
power to save our men and the honor of our
cause. I have endeavored to get a list of 'the
killed and wounded in the affair at Great
Bethel, but succeeded only partially as but few
of them had reached the Fort at the hocir for
departure of the boat, whiclioniitally letties at
4 P. M., but was detained for, your correspon
dent up o'9 P. 3t, ein this occasion.
.The following are the rabies of those :who

an efficient officer, and greatly beloved by his
brother officers, who, es may be expected, are
keenly grieved by the bereavement. His fu
neral will take place on Wednesday, and hts
remains will be deposited in a metallic ccffia
speciallynrdered from Baltimore. Orderly Ser
geant Goodfellow, of Company D, First New
York Regiment, was struck by a cannon ball
and fell dead. Three members of the same
company were badly wounded. It appears that
the Albany regiment, under Col. Townsend,
were in reserve.
It was thought that Lieut. Col. Grinnell

TERRIBLE FIGHT EXPECTED
WABI3327QTON, June 11.—A terrible fight is
hourly expected. It is believed thlt the rebels
have a strong force at the ,Manassas Junction,
which they have so fortified as to defy invasion
.from the Federal troops.
• Every regiment in this vicinity momentarily
expects to receive marching orders.
It is reported that the reb,ds have brought
from Norfolk, Richmond and Charleston, over
two hundred cannon of the heaviest calibre.
This, of course, is all surmise, but there is no
denying the fact that a desperate struggle must
take place before the close of the present week.
