The Associated Press express from Harper's

as follows was at the latter place several
hours in the afternoon. All the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad buildings except two had been
burned, also the tressel work for 300 yards con
necting with the bridge over the Potomac.
The bridge over the Shenandoah was still
standing.
Persons walked along the canal on the Ma
ryland side of the liver, without being fired
upon as yesterday. A feW sentinels remained
along the river shore. 'The two camps on the
the remaining force, were vacated to-night,
and followed the main body towards Win
chester.
The larger part, say 14,000, of the troops
stationed at Harper's Ferry, go southward to
join Beuregard's and Lee's forces, and the
smaller body it is believed will march to join
Henry Wise at Romney, who is is under
stood will march to oppose the advance of
Gen. McClellan's column from the west. Gov.
Wise has three thousand men at Stanton, one
regiment of which has already marched.
Great numbers of small arms, said to be a
least one thousand, were thrown into the river
by the rebels and also their accoutrements.
Boys and men are amusing themselves by div
ing for them.
The town wears a desolate appearance.
Some of the large guns were removed only six
miles up the Shenandoah and then abandoned.
It was reported at Harper's Ferry that loco
motives of the Baltimore and Ohio railroads,
below the Opequan bridge, had been burned,
and also those at Martinsburg, numbering at
both places upwards of seventy.
The Virginia pickets, who have been absent
two days at a point opposite Williamsport, re
turned to-night.
Ex-Clov. Manning, of S. C., brought the
order to evacuate Harper's Ferry.
The Express saw the Scott Legion march to
day, and also the first city troop. Both looked
weli and were in good health. The Philadel
phia troops reached here safely.

• The correspondent of the MUM, writing
from Cairo on the 14th inst., says that General
`Buckner, Commissioner from Kentucky, was
here to-day. He says that Kentucky intends
establishing a grand encampment of State
troops at Columbus. The Columbus people, he
added, had no right to raise the Secession flag,
and he had requested them not to do so
again.
The Memphis Appeal of the 14th inst. says that
a warrant was out for the arrest of Andrew
Johnson, for treason to Tennessee.
Thursday was kept as a fast-day throughout
Tennessee; all business being suspended by the

Release of Mr, Dickens Recently Ar
GRAND MILITARY DISPLAY
A company of U. S. Infantry, Capt. King,
passed over into Virginia this evening. Col.
Stone has, it is said, reached Leesburg, via Ed
wards' Ferry route, with the New York ninth
regi.uent his advance guard.
Mr. Dickens, who has been a prisoner for
some days, having been arrested at his farm
house in this vicinity, was released this after
noon by an order from theNar Department, it
having been ascertained that his arrest was en
tirely unwarranted. The informer against Mr.
Dickens was a youth of, to say the least, a sus
picious character, hehaving been himself under
arrest for horse-stealing and other alleged
crimes. Mr. Dickens is a son of the venerable
Asbury Dickens, Seeretary of the United States
Senate.
In order to guard against other errors of this
sort, a general order has been issued to the
government troops in relation to their treat
ment of citizens, and providing that no arrests
are to be made unless by the special order of an
officer.
A dress parade of all the troops was held this
afternoon. • They were drawn up in a line in
front of the Head Quarters and were reviewed
by Col. Heintzelnian. To-day is the hottest
weather the troops have yet experienced ; the
mercury stands at 105 degrees in the sun. It
was reported among the secessionists at Vien
nia, 15 miles out, this afternoon, that the
Federal forces were at Leesburg. The people
here were in communication with the rebels,
the scouts being there up to yesterday.
Various rumors have been in circulation here
and at Washington to-day, to the effect that a
serious fight had taken place near this city, in
consequence of a soldier having been wounded
on ono of the trains. As far as can be ascer

Several pickets were thrown across the Poto

to-day, the troops gallantly wading the stream
up to their waists in water, covered by two
pieces of the Rhode Island battery which were
planted on a bluff near Williamsport.
Information, deemed reliable, has been re
ceived here to-day that the rebels abandoned
Leesburg yesterday, after burning all the cars
and locomotives belonging to the Alexandria,
Hampshire and Louden Railroad terminating
there. This was probably induced by a know
ledge of the approach of Col. Stones' column
by the way of Edwards Ferry, and the fact that
the Federal forces from Alexandria had rebuilt
the bridges, stocked that end of the road, and
had a telegraph completed to a distance of fif•
teen miles towards Leesburg.

the village of Hampton. Among the fifteen
additional regiments expected at Fortress
Monroe are an efficient corps of artillery from
Fort McHenry and a regiment of mounted

The latter are greatly needed to operate

employed to bring a large Supply of fresh water
from Hampton. Mr. Camp of New York, is

The headquarters of Oen. Butler, Quarter

in the act of hurriedly picking up his gun to
fire at a passing bird, the muzzle being toward
him, the lock of the weapon came in contact
with some object, causing its premature explo
sion. The load entered the body of the de
ceased directly below the heart, and exclaiming
to his companion to catch him, he fell over
board and instantly expired. His body was
taken from the water and conveyed to the resi
dence of his parents, which was soon surround
ed by a large crowd of people, anxious to see
the deceased and learn the particulars of the
sad accident. He was a healthy and active
young man, a baker by trade, and a favorite of
the circle in which he moved. In respect to
the memory of the deceased his brother fire
men caused the flags on their respective engine
housei to be displayed at half-mast yesterday.

sions upon the minds of many that will-be pro
due Live of good results.

THE RETREAT OP THE REBELS
A Change in their Programme.
SPECULATIONS AT WASHINGTON.
WasniNGToN, June 16
The simultaneous retirement of the rebels
from the line of the P.ttomac further into Vir
ginia, at Williamsport, Shepheristown, Har
per's Ferry, Leesburg and other points that
they have occupied, is regarded here as the re
sult of a change in the plan of campaign,
adopted since Clen. Beauregard and Jeff. Davis
have come into Virginia. There are any quan
tity of speculations as to ,the object, the ma
jority of people thinking, however, that the
purpose is to combine the rebel forces at Man
assas Junction, either to attack Alexandria and
Washington, or to make a stand there against
the Federal army, according as circumstances
may make either advisable. There are a good
many here who fear a sadden dash towards
Washington ; but our military authorities have
no fears of a movement which would be much
more likely to hurt the rebel than the Fed
eral army.
