From it we get no thing. If it knows anything, it keeps ;tat it knows to itself, and what we 33 W relate of the situation is what we have Veiled up from va rious sources on the streets of Harrisburg. - We have no communication with the west hank of the Sueciaehanna, to start with, no passes being granted to civilians. What we know, therefore, we know independent of all government arrangements, and derive from eourees Wirdy contraband, but at the same time reliable. There was a' fight—we cannot digni f y it with the name of battle—last night, in the imme diate vicinity of Carlisle. The enemy—part of Ewell's force—occupied a semi -circle, ex tending craw a point on the Baltimore turnpike near- Moore's mill, at the head of Le Tort spring, along the ridge to a point on the Har risburg and Carlisle turnpike beyond Her shey's, or, to make it more intelligible, to a point east of Sponler's old tavern stand, their advance line helve near Henderson's mill, where, or near where, wuunderstand they had a section of a battery covering the Carlisle Barracks. They had also batteries or sections of batteries posted on the commanding ridge running across the Baltimore turnpike a little south of Carlisle, and also on the ridge known as Mine Hill, a mile or three-fourths of a mile east of Carlisle. Occupying this position rather soddenly, for a time the danger was extreme; but our forces under Gen. Smith drove them, after some severe skirmishing, from all their commanding positions, and at this hour, five o'clock p. m., Thursday, Gen. Smith's, headquarters are at Carlisle. Some were killed and some wounded on both sides; bUt atif QM, W 1142 knew the truth will not re veal it, we must be content with stating the fact in general terms. We have heard a thou sand incidents, bat not being desirous to get up a sehsational column we omit further re marks until more is definitely known. Here we might indulge in speculations, if specilaiions could avail our cause. But hav ing the interests of our country truly at heart we forbear. We will not even indulge in any replication to an ill-advised article in yesterday evening's Telegraph, reflecting upon one of the proprie tors of this establishment, who holds a posi tion on Gen. Smith's staff, and'sto the best of his ability, and at, more personal risk than any gentleman prominently enitneeted with the Telegraph has ever ran, has been doing active service in the field. We feel assured that in the end we shail triumph. At present we are, as it were, under a aloud. There is no wisdom where wisdom is most needed. Bit the people are sound. The /names, Without regerd to party distinctions, ere right, and a God of Justice reigns suPteme in the universe. &vast O'CLOCK P. m.—lttueor presses upon rumor. Every hour bringß its tale. We are, as it were, in a sea of conjecture; and at pre efaely the point when the military authorities, Who are presumed to know everything, should enlighten the public, we seem to be at the darkest period of the day and know nothing. It`ie pretty generally believed that General Fleasonton's Federal cavalry defeated Stuart's men at; . .11anover, York county, on Tuesday. Where they are now only God and the military authorities know. We regret - toiotate that the conviction is prevalent that , Gen. Reynolds was mortally wounded in an action fought somewhere be tween Gettysburg. and Chambersburg, the par ticulars of which we have not learned - Since the above was IA type the following dispatch was received: . • Itsiernaosn, July 27—The remains of the la mented Gen, Reynolds bass srrived here from sh e field of batile near-Gettysburg. HaLT PAST 8 o'cLoox, P. st.--We have just conversed with a citizen of Ca.rliale, law left . there Olin .laorulag, and consequently:our itt selligenca4 reliable. The greater portion 'of the barracks sad the gas works were destroyed. No 'one was killed. About fifteen were wounded in the skirmish, two or three of whom will su ff er o r } l ave already suffered amputation._ Some of Gen. Henderson's property has been destroyed, how much . is ziot known. Having but five minutes age *versed with him, we are enabled to state that he does not himself know to whit!, extent he haasuffered. The en emy are supposed to have retreated toward Molly Springs, a commanding position in the South Mountain on the BaltiMore road, six miles south of Carlisle. 9 o'cLocir. ? . er —The news is by no means encouraging. Whatever news the authorities have they keep to themselvea, and we are left to our own conjeCtures. We learn that Get tynburg has been burned, and that the rebels in several columns are advancing this way.— One strong column is coming on the Dillsbnrg road. Where our State troops are we know not, nor can we say certainly that the Army of the Potomac is in the rear, but we imagine that it is, and that some heavy fighting is at this rasmelit going on in the Cu mberland valley. The'rebels at Carlisle last night are supposed not to have numbered over three thousand.— Why the rebels were not annihilated we can not tell but suppose there was a military rea son for it. LATBIL AND HIMILY MPORTAIGT_ TEN O'CLOCK, P. ta —The following dispatch es have just been received: WASHIYOTON: July 2.—The latest dispatches received from General Meade are dated last night. They state that the corps engaged with Ewell's army were Reynolds' and How ard's, Pleasanton succeeded in inflicting a severe injury upon Stnart's cavalry. - General Reynolds was killed. The reports received from all quarters are encouraging. BALTIMORE, July 2.—General Reynolds was killed in the battle near Gettysburg. His body arrived here this morning, and was taken to the residence of Me brother-in-law, Mr. Gildereleive. We regret to learn from an officer who brought down the bo !y of Gen. Reynolds that Brigadier General Paul was killed in the same I fight in south Gettysburg. Gen. Paul cornmeal- ded the third brigade of the first.army corps. Cols. Stone and Wistar were both wounded and taken prisoners. Wistar commanded a Pennsylvania regiment, the Bucktails, and Col. Stone also commanded a Pennsylvania regiment in the second- brigade of the first army corps, and was acting Brigadier , of the second brigade. Gen. Newton took command of the first army corps, on the fall of Major General Reynolds. STILL LATPI. We learn from• officers of Reynolds' staff that f our forces passed through Gettysburg at tee o'clock yesterday morning, and when a quarter of a mile west of the town encountered Long street and'Hill, who attacked Reynold's corps, in advance. It stood the force df the attack until relieved by the third corps. The rebels made strong attempts to flank the position, but were repulsed, and it. was here that Generals Reynolds and Paul were killed by a volley from the rebel infantry. At the close of the evening the whole army of the Potomac bad reached the field, and Gen. Meade had all arranged for a renewal of the battle this morning. The losi of the eta* is fully equal to ours. Our loss in officers is severe. Colonels Wistar and Stone and others are wounded. A BATTLE PROGEBBSING TEN O'CLOCK P. nt —A battle is evidently going on in the Cumberland Valley, The Ale charges of cannon are distinctly heard at, this point, and to-day will probably tell the tale whether the rebels or the Federal forces shall prevail. We have no doubt about the issue. 'W'e shall whip the rebels if we have brains, as we hope we hive, at the head of our army, THE THE GOV _ERNOR. AND THE STATE. No development of the war has more thor oughly revealed the utter incompetence of the Lincoln Administration than the raid into Pennsylvania; and the Commonwealth could be subjected to no greater huniliation than that inflicted by the sham tless servility of An drew G. Curtin, the so-called Governor of the State. Pennsylvania had deserved well of the National Government. She had been faithful to the Constitution and the Union ;—while the war afforded a hope for the restoration of the one, anti the preservation of the other, she responded nobly and faithfully to all the de mands of the administration upon her.resour ces. By thousands and tens of thoneands her noblest and bravest have gone forth at the summons of the government; and on every battle-field have proved their devotion to a Constitutional Union, and have upheld the honor of their State. Two hundred thousand men have been furnished by Pennsylvania, and among these were the famous Reserves, the heroes of Drainesville, and the gallant soldiers who led the advance at Roanoke. Woen it be anie apparent that tha administration was false to its pledges, and was seeking to use the power with which the State had invested it, to carry out the New England policy of Abolition, and a draft was ordered, Pennsylvania was again deprived of a portion of her defenders, while the Abolition East escaped a conscrip tion. The children of the Commonwealth, thus given to the General Government, have perished by, shot and shell, have died on the field, or in the hospital, and the remnant are 'fighting for the adminis ration in distant States. While thus weakened, the enemy threatens our border. Penneylvania had a right to expect, that when she bad done so much, Buffet ed so grievously, the admin.et ••ation wouldaTord her military protection. In the hour of her peril she demands aid to save her fair valleys, from devastaiion, and receives the reply from the Government for which she has done so much: "You must take care of yourself. You have suffered and bled, we have taken your men and your money, and you must defend yourself." Not a regiment, not a gun even, has been furnished by the government in this hour of peril. Com mentary is unnecessary. Imbecility, .incom petenee, and ing , atitude, have characterized the acts of the Lincoln administration toward Pennsylvania. If we turn to the acts of the State Execu tive, we have still more reason to feel outraged. Goa. Curtin knew the State was about to be invaded. He derived that knowledge from the admiaistration who had failed to provide for the emergency, and whose imbecility had made it possible. As the Governor of the State—as the Commander-in. Chief of its for ces—it was his duty to provide for it. He had power, under the Constitution of the State, to call out the Militia, and if they failed to re• spend, to order a draft for the defence of the Wade. It was hie duty, when he found Penn sylvania was to be left unaided and defenceless, to provide ways and .means to repel the inva sion. Did he do any of these things? . 11 . 0 I all that his servile ' spirit !mould art@gest was . to ask Nr. ,Secretary Stanton for permission to call out the militia of the Btate for ics defence. He went to his master. He forgot, if he ever knew or felt, that he was Governor of a sov ereign Stete, the custodian of its honor and safety, clothed by the Constilu-ion k ith full power, unasked or unbidden, to pr o t ec t the property and homes of the citizens, and bound by every consideration of State pride and duty to make the 'effort to do so. The War Depart ment did not grant their suppliant the permis sion he sought, denied us even the poor right of self-proiection, and this so-called Governor of Pennsylvania, who did not know or had for gotten his rights and his duties, submitted in patience to instructions which left the State wholly defenceless. It is shameful and de grading to think that the honor and dignity of a sovereign State should have been intrusted to such keeping. Had Andrew G. Curtin been a Democratic Governor and sated in this man ner, he would have been called a copperhead, traitor, a sympathizer with the rebels, and wou ld h a ve been accused of being in -league with the enemy. But no! if he had been a Democratic Governor . he'would have known he was the Governor of a sovereign State, and would have ask d no admin Cration mini' n for permission to do his duty to the Common wealth. He would have been loyal to his State like the Democrat Seymour of New York, and the D.tmecrat Parker of New Jersey. and would have been able like them, in this crisis, to have performed his whole duty to the Com monwealth and the Union.--Doylestown Dem ocrat. NEWS OF THE DAY. BY TELEGRAPH. TICE WAR .IN TENNESSEE CINCINNATI, July 2.—General Stanley's cav alry dash into Shelbyville was one of the most brilliant passages of the war.

The rebels, meanwhile, having sent a power ful woo to outrop him, he struck thrsugh. the mauntain and returned to Manchester. Ile took and paroled a number of prisoners and captured a lot of. mules. The damage done to the railroad is very serious. The expedition made 126 miles in two days and a half. Fl CINCINNATI ? July 2.—On the 25th of June, Phog•eis corps made an assault on the rebel works at Vicksburg. The whole army was in line of battle and the cannonading was heavy. At 4 o'clock a mine was sprung. During the hottest of the firing in front of Logan a wide opening in the embankment was made, through which the Lead Mine regiment of Col. Maltby rushed and planted a nag. Lieut. Col Milanchton smith and Mejor Fisk were killed. Six Illinois and one lowa regiment assisted in the assault. Gen. Leggett of Ohio was in immediate command and is reported slightly wounded. As soon as an entrance , was affected the fighting was confined to band grenades, which were weed -with terrible effect on the rebel e s. Gen. M'Pherson estimates thdir loss at rebel ; ours was not over 100. .We hold the fort. There is no other news of importance. CAPTURE OF A STEAMER WITH 1,000 BALES COTTON BOSTON, July 2.—The rebel steamer victory was captured on the 21st nit., by the gunboat Santiago de Cuba, and arrived here this morn ing. She has on board 1,000 bales of cotton, BY THE MAILS. THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. WASHINGTON, July I.—Letters. of to-day's date have been received front the. Army of the Potomac, in which the following facts are stated : Our last movements have been characterized VS , a marked willingness on the part of the soldiers to undergo any fatigue within the bounds of human endurance. The rebels recently sent only a small scout ing or reconnoitering party , to the vicinity of Frederick. Sharing in the general belief that there is no force of the enemy. between -that city and Hagerstown, the stage proprietor this morning sent out his team from the former for latter place. This fact is stated to show that the intervening distance is now believed to be safe to travelers. A portion of our forces surrounded Emmetts burg on Monday and captured without conflict a battery—the only rebel force there. Notwithstanding various reports to the con trary, our pontoon bridges at Edwards' Ferry have t een taken up and safely saured by the Engineer brigade. General Stahl was relieved from his cavalry command by General Hooker on Sunday, and General Kilpatrick appointed in his place. Brigadier General Copeland has mien as signed to other duty, and his late oommaai'd has been reorganized. The very best spirit pervades the artily, and the hope of an early and decisive battle is the prevailing sentiment of the troops. The portion of. Maryland oocupied by our army is teeming with rich agricultural sup plies. The most friendly disposition is evinced towards us by the inhabitants generally, and every precaution is taken to prevent the wan ton destruction of property. Our cavalry is actively scouting in every di rection, and no fears of surprise are for an instant entertained by any one. The following circular has been issued: HIADQUARTMTB ARMY OF THE' POTOMA 0, Juue 1868 The commanding general requests that pre vious to the engigement soon expected with the enemy, corps and all other commanding officers address their troops, explaining to them the immense issues involved in the strug gle_ The enemy is now on our soil. The whole country looks anxiously to this army to deliver it tem the presence of the foe. Our failure to do so will leave us no such welcome as the swelling of millions of hearts with ,pride and joy at our success would give to .every soldier of the army. Homes, firesides and domestic altars are involved. The army has fought well heretofore. 'lt is believed that it will fight more desperately and bravely than ever if it is addressed in fitting terms. Corps and other commanders are authorized to order the instant death of any soldier who fails to do hie duty at this hour. By command of Major General MEADE' S. Williams, Assistant Adjutant General. THE REBEL MWVEMENTS'IN MARYLAND. HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE Poromao, July 1, 1863.—Reports from Sharpsburg state that a large force of rebels has crossed the Poto mac at that point during the last few days and puel/e4 ou towards Pennsylvania. Ito*eshoro l and South Mountain remain in the possession of the enemy. Immense trains of supplies have been sent by the enemy from, Pennsylvania in the She nandoah valley and stored for future use. Lee's army is quiet along our front, with the exception of an occasional skirmish be tween the cavalry. The rebels occupied Weetbiligiter day before yesterday. The Home Guard offered some re sistance and lost a number in killed and wounded on Monday last. Sergeant Clyne, of the Third Indiana caval ry, made a gallant dash into Hagerstown with nine men, capturing a valuable rebel mail and oleven prisoners. The letters were of great in/potation, and have intniebtd ulna desira ble information. In one an offer of four thou sand dollars is made to an individual to serve as a substitute. A terrible battle cannot much longer be de layed. Gen. Meade has the confidence of the entire army, and no one doubts our ultimate Success. Apprehensions are entertained that Lee's army may take a line of retreat from Maryland and reach Washington before it can be reached by the Union army. Nothing more can be said without disclosing situations. Great confidence is expressed as to the sol dierly qualities of General Meade, and the hope is entertained that he may be able to strike the rebel army on the flank and destroy it before it o to possibly retreat. Yesterday about one hundred mules and fifty prisoners, taken from the retiring forces under Stuart, were brought to this city. The mules are a part of those captured on Sunday last. Intelligence has been received that General Pleasanton has intercepted the force of Stuart, and succeeded in capturing all the supplies seized by him in his recent raid in this vicin ity. There are evidences that even since the de parture of the main body of the rebel cavalry from Maryland, south of the line of the Balti more and Ohio railroad, small parties of them have been left behind, and are indulging in occasional raids. Colonel Wyndham, however, has sent out scouting parties of his newly or• ganized cavalry, beth North and South, for the purpose of hunting up these Players. NO - REBELS WITHIN TEN MILES or 'WattINGTON WASHINGTON, July I.—lt was ascertained by our scouts yesterday, who completed a cir cuit extending ten miles from the city, that there was not a single rebel soldier to be seen. Our scouts are confident that there are no rebel soldiers any where between Frederick and the Potomac. Washiugton to-day is remarkably quiet. CAVALRY FIGHT AND VICTORY. WASHINGTON, July I.—Official advices from the Army of the Potomac state that a portion of our cavalry, under Gen. Kilpatrick, had a handsome fight yesterday with the enemy's cavalry, at Hanover. We captured a battle Bag, a lieutenant colonel, a captain and forty five privates. Fifteen or twenty of the enemy were killed. LEE'S PROCLAMATION TO HIS TROOPS. The following peak for itself. It was ad dressed to the troops GENERAL• ORDERS-.-rNO. MUM:TARTER% ARMY OF NORTHERN VIROINIAI CHARBBAHBORG, PA., June 27, 1863. ' The commanding general has observed with marked satistacton the conduct of the troops on the march, and confidently anticipates re sults commensurate with the high spirit they have manifested. No troops could - have dis played greater fortitude or better performed the arduous marches of the past tin days. Their conduct in other respects has, with few exceptions, been in keeping with their char acter as soldiers, and entitles them to approba tion and praise. There have, however, been instances of for getfultieee, on the part of same, that they have in keeping the yet . unsullied reputation of the army, and that the duties exacted, of us by civilization and christianity are not less obli gatory in the country of the enemy than in our own. The commanding general considers that no greater disgrace could lit-fall the armies, and through it our whole people, than the perpe tration of the barborous outrages upon the in nocent and defrnceless and the wanton de struvion of private property that have marked the course of the enemy in our own country. Such proceedings not only disgrace the perpe trators and all connected with them, but are subversive of the dise efficiency iptine and of the army and destructive of the ends of our present movement. It mast be remembered that we make war only upon armed men, and that we cannot take vengeance for the wrongs our people havesulTered without lowering our selves in the eyes of all whose abhorrence has been excited by the atrocities of our enemy, and offending against Him to whom vengeance belongeth, without whose favor and support our efforts must all prove in vain. The commanding general, therefore, ear nestly exhorts the troops to abstain with most scrupulous care from unnecessary or wanton injury to private proyerty ; and be enjoins upon all officers to arrest and bring to sum mary punishment all who shall in any way offend against t t he orders on this subject. OHIO AND INDIANA. CINCINNATI, Jaly 1, 1863 a special meeting of die City Connell, held last night, it was resolved to put the State Militia law in Ores at once.

NEWS FROM VICKSBURG MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 28.—Official advises from Gen. Grant's army to noon on the 25th say that everything was working favorably, and the siege waa being pushed vigorously. Three hundjed of the Fourth lowa cavalry, on a scout near Bridgeport, Miss., had a fight with five hundred rebel cavalry. Our forces lost about fifty killed, wounded and missing, and one howitzer. Gen. Sherman advanced on the 22d to meet Johnson, but could not find him or any consid erable number of his forces. It is ascertained with certainty that Johnson cannot muster over 3.5,000 men all told. At last accounts most of these troops were be tween Canton and Bridgeport.

They have a battery of six guns at Catfish Point, opposite Greenville.— Marmaduke is , also using all his efforts to blockade the run. These matters are receiving the prompt attention of the proper, military authorities. ' Scouts from Central Mississippi and Ala bama report that the feeling in regard to Vicks burg is very deePondent, and repOrta of the repulse of Grant's army were frequently -cir culated to cheer the people up.
