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- If the sebels are worsted in the first 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.

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 arrived : 98,000 " I Joseph Richards, company C, 3d N. Y.

James Garbetit, company G, same regintient; sustained , a comminuted fracture of the thigh, E very bad, and must enffer, amputation, even if he'anrvives. James Connelly, ,companY A, same regiment ; shot in the 'right knee, the ball not penetrating the joint. Philip Sweeny, Company- 0, 311 regiment Infantry ; very 1384 verely wounded.in the ',thigh, but:. may escape amputation. Lient.g. W. Stone, company 0, saute regiment, slightly wounded in the leg.

Artillery. He was struck tipailtkaithtild:- of the forehead by a rifled cannon ball, which tore away the upper part of the bead. He was', 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 had been killed, as he was miseing. Capt. Judson Kilpatrick, Company H, of Zonaves, was wounded in the fleshy part of the thigh by the bursting of a shell, but gallantly led his company across a field to the attack.

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. CIIBIBERI AND IN POSSESSION OF THE FEDERAL TROOPS.
