TELE LATEST WAR MOVE
MENTB.
Lee's movements of detached portions
of his army seems to be intended to divert
Hooker's attention from his real inten
tion, which is thought to be an assault
upon Washington. His operations for
the past few days have been mysterious,
but look as if the rebel forces were rap
idly accumulating in the neighborhood
where last fall the great battle of Antietam
snatched victory from the exultant rebel
chief. The sagacious Washington cor
respondent of the World remarks, that
they who think that the danger has passed
with the small cavalry raids ceasing be
yond the limits of a few miles across the
border, are vary much mistaken. The
crisis is yet to come in the struggle for
this capital, with perhape a battle raging
all around it.
Renewed energy in military movements,
so that the enemy may be embarrassed
and eventually prostrated in his designs,
can only prerient them from being COLIEIII
- in accordance with the worst ap
prehensions. It is thought that our mili
tary rulers have not penetrated the mys
tery which has surrounded General Lee's
movement until the ultimatum of sudden
battle had been nearly precipitated upon
them. Not a moment must be lost in
military preparation throughout the en
tire North. The movement of Governor
Seymour in raising militia regiments is a
wise one in the right direction. That
Statesman at least comprehendethe crisis
and is determined to have ;he people equal
to it.
FIFTEENTH PA. MILITIA.
By an advertisement in to day's paper
i. will be seen that the gallant Fifteenth
P. Militia now in camp,- are anxious for
a few-more men. This is a good oppor
tunity for those inclined to enter for the
defense of the state; uniforms and equip
mew.' ars ready for all who may volun
teer.
ALWAYS BLUNDERING
An 'association controlled by leaders who a
lamentably visible in the conduct of the
leaders of the patty in control of our
national government. We do not refer
particularly to the President and his Cab
inet, but to those generally who control
their action and direct public opinion.
When rebellion threatened us with its
then unhallowed horrors, those giving
direction to our Administration said, let it
oome; it will amount to nothing. They
started out with that halucination, :and
stuck to it until bitter experience taught
them better. All of their schemes for
suppressing the rebels have proved
lamentable failures; this the conserve
tives of. the country predicted, and
for thus differing from them these
leading Abolition Radicals have been
denouncing us as traitors. No party,
having its country's destinies in trusted
to its keeping, ever exhibited such
a woful lack of capacity as that which is
now ruling in this distracted Republic..
And all this blundering arises from an in
sane tenacity of opinion. These leading'
Radicals, like all monomaniacs, entertain
certain impracticable notions, and, rather
than abandon any one of them,- they
would see the country in the throes of dis
solution. Their opinions are their law
and gospel, and, it is, in their estimation,
absolute treason or - disloyalty to- differ
from them. .They will netbing until
the inexorable logic of.-events forces eon ,
viotion upon them.
Ever sinee the ConservatiVes split with
the Radicals upon the manner in which
the war for the Union should be con
ducted, they have been endeavoring to
persuade the South that we are traitors
to our own cause. They persisted
in this fanatical notion until with 'some
it has become a conviction. But, mark
how suddenly they are: eotti‘eltea - to'
acknowiedge their folly. Just as they had
succeeded in satisfying their followers "of
the treason complained of, the Presideat
is suddenly compelled bean upon certain
states for their militia; and what do we

a party, instead of the country, and, con

WHY IS IT ?
The Harrisburg Telegraph reaches this
city on the ay of its publication at one
o'clock p. in. The Patriot and Union
is not received until the next day. This
detention we are informed is simply be
cause Mr. Bergner, Postmaster at Har
risburg and editor of the Telegraph, has
decided to advance the interests of the
Telegraph over the Patriot and Union.
The latter paper is mailed in time to take
the three o'clock train West, but is never
distributed. We leave Mr. Bergner to ex
plain, as we do not wish to do injustice to
him. but as we have a decided preference
in the journals, we dislike to have a gov
ernment officer make this discrimination
in the absence of a positive order from
Gen. Conch.
Correepondehoe of the Post.
HARRISBURG, June 22d, 1863.
We are still in doubt about the ultimate
destination of the Confederate forces that
have occupied the Southern end of the
Cumberland Valley for some weeks past,
nor,-do we - know in what numbers they
are. Oar authorities seem to be masters
of the art of not &raw out what it would
certainly be of great advantage to snow.
The Ctinfederates have been within our
borders for seven or eight days, and have
gone pretty much where they pleased and
done just what they pleased, and not one
of our officials, either civil or military, eau
form an idea as to whether they number
two thousand or forty thousand. Triers
used to be a way of finding out where an
enemy was posted and what strength he
had, but that is en art which very few
commanders of Union troops in this part
of the country seem to have studied.
The Cumberland Valley, whose South •
ern half is now being plundered by the
Confederates, is one of the richest mid
beat cultivat ed spots in America. I ts
length from the Susquehanna to the Pot.o.
'mac is eighty miles, and its average
breadth about twenty. Its political divis
lions are the two counties of Cumberland
' and Franklin in Pennsylvania, and the
county of Washington in Maryland. These
three counties produce annually from two
and ntalf to three million bushels of
wheat, together with vast quantities of
rye, corn. oat+, ,hay, potatoes and almost
all inaurrer of agricultural prmiuctivn4 -
The population is almost one hundred
thousand souls. 'Thu number of horif
and cattle is enormous, and of thr tit' the
South half of Franklin has been complete
ly stripped. What has been dons on the
Maryland side of the line, we are not well
informed.
The ancient or Indian name r-f the Curn
berland Valley was the Kittatinny, arid
the mountain that forms its Northwestern
boundary from the Susquehanna to a
point directly West of Chambershurg,

out, and from thence to the Potomac the
Tuscarbra bounds the 1. alley. 01E1 stagers.
at Pittsburgh will remember these moon
tains. Many a time have they gazed with
rapture from the lofty summit of the Tus
carora, upon the magnificent valley spread
oat before them to the Southwest, almost
as far as the eye would reach. Who
among them dreamed that the time would
ever come when Pennsylvanians would
meet Virginians in hostile array on those
smiling and then peaceful fields?
. The principal points between which the .
Confederates now in this valley have been
operatiug, are Chambersburg, Pa .
Hagerstown, Md.,- Chambersburg is fifty
two miles from Harrisburg, in a south
westerly direction, and Hagerstown is
twenty two miles south of Chambersburg.
Midway between the two last named pla
ces, and less than five miles from the
Maryland line; lies Greencastle, in the
midst of a splendid agricultural country.
It is the - leading flour and grain depot of
that region. .Ten miles west of Green
castl& is Mereersburg, and about the same
distance east is Waynesboro', and all
around them a wealthy farming country
dotted over with the finest flouraig mills.
McCOnnellsburg / the county seat of
Fulton county, is situated ten miles north
west of Mercersborg, in what is sailed the
Big Cove. Pittsburgh travelers of the
olden time will remember it as a little
place Okay nestled down in the narrow
but charming valley between Scrub Bridge
and the Tuscarora mountain. That val
ley or Cave runs down towards Hancock,
in Maryland, which Is distant twenty miles
from McConnellsburg. Much of the land
in the Cove is highly productive and in a
very fine state of cultivation, and there is
alwaya.a great deal of live stock there.—
The Confederates have swept nearly all
the horses and cattle out of it. But there
was'no truth in the telegrapttia.roport that
they burned the'Court,Honse and Jail at
McConnelleburg, nor was it true that they
deaf:ea:ye:l-Public buildings in Mercersbnrg.
The southwestern corner of Adams Co:
has probably been pretty well cleared out
too. It appears they have been at Millers
town, a place made famous by the major
ity it gave for Gov. Ritner, in the contest,
of 1838. The voting population of the
Millerstown district was about three huu- I
ring!, but Thad. Stevens, one of Ritner's
Cabal Comaiissiobers, who lived in Ad
ams county and was running the " Get•
tyaburg Tapeworm" at that time, trumped
up a majority of fourteen hundred for Hit-
'ler! If " Old Clooty" had made a raid
'into - Adams county about that period and'
carried off " Old Thad," the country
~- w ould be none the worse off ror it now.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad start
ing in this city, runs up through 'Chem
bersburg and Greencastle to Hagerstown.
Communication with Chambersburg, tem
porarily out off by the destruction of the
Scotland bridge, five miles this way, has
,now been restored,; but as the rebels min
tinne to 'visit Green Castle almost hourly,
and even come eome miles this side of it,-
there are no trains run to any point be:
ybnd Chamberabog.
, I do. not learn' that the Confederates
are -fortifying themselves at Hagerelown
or anywhere else in this valley, and there
fore I conclude that it is not their design
-to remain for any great length of time.
If the telegraph-were permitted io speri
out, I should not be astonished to hear
-that there- has been a battle opposite
Washington. There must have been, or
there must very soon be, a-fight or a back
down on somebody's part over there.
The entrenchments on the heights op
posite this city are assuming a lormidabl
shape. But Ido not think they are
needed.

General Milroy, finding that the enemy
wire already on three sides of him and
were moving around toward the Martins
burg road, ordered all the troops and ar
tillery from the south east of the town
within the line of earthworks encircling
the main works, where the fight between
cezr own and the rebel artillery was con
tinued until nightfall.
At night the following was the position
of our forces ; —The First brigade, under
General Elliot, occupied the main fort ;
the Second, under Colonel Ely, the town
and the space between there and the main
fort, and the Third, under Colonel Mc-
Reynolds, were posted in the Star fort.
Shortly after dark the enemy came
charging across the gully between their
new position and the main work, yelling
like fiends; but they were met at the ditch
by volley after volley from infantry, and af
ter a few moments fighting were repulsed.
Matters now became quiet, and our men
took advantage of the lull to get a few
moments' rest from their two days' fight.
ing. At one o'clock on Monday morning
General Milroy called a council of war,
composed of the brigade commanders,
and then it was decided to abandon the
works and retreat to Harper's Ferry. •
After the council had concluded to re
treat, at about three o'clock on Monday
morning the troops were quickly put in
motion, taking nothing with them except
what they had upon their persons. They
had marched out on the Martinsburg road
only about four miles when they were fired
upon by a strong force of infantry and ar
tillery, which had been posted in the
woods to the right of the road. As soon
as the firing commenced the main body of
our infantry charged down into the dense
timber, in the direction of where they sup
posed the enemy to be; but instead of find
ing a weak body of rebels, as they expect
ed, they found at leas: a tall division,
well posted and drawn up in line of battle.
NV hen our troops reached the enemy's po•
sit ion they were met b‘- a terrible shower
of missiles, and were forced to fall back.
On reaching the road they pushed on to
wards Martinsburg, except the Eighteenth
Connecticut and Fifth Maryland regiments,
who were upon the left of the flue, and
were captured almost entire. The com
mand reached Harper's Ferry on Monday
afternoon—all that were left of it, at least.
Our loss have indeed been terrible. Not
a thing was saved except that which was
worn or carried upon the persons of the
troops. Three entire batteries of field
artillery and one battery of siege guns—
all the artillery of the command, in fact—
about two hundred and eighty wagons,
over twelve hundred horses and mules, all
the commissary and oaartermaster's stores
and ammunition of all kinds, over six
thousand muskets and sma.ll arms without
stint, the private baggage of the officers
and tn,m), 101 frli into the hand of the
et.ertty. Of the seven thousand tosn of
the command but from sixteen hundred
to two thousand have as yet arrived here,
leaving to be accounted for over five
thousand men. These comprise the list
of horrors, exce; t the names of the killed
and wounded, which it is impnmible to
etsceitain, us the slain remaned unburied
and the wounded unsurgeoned where they
fell.

no railroad communication since with the
market.
As the Matter Mande.
Taking it all in all, the defeat was a
most thorough and disastrous one. All
jnn in the most marked testimonials as to
the conduct of the brigade commanders
and commandants of regiments. General
Elliott, who conducted affairs more than
any one man else daring the entire two
days' fighting and tho retreat, is deserving
and receives the most extravagant plaudits
from the men of all the commands. Col.
Mcßeynolds proved himself worthy of all
ponfidence ES a military leader in hie re
treatifrom Berryville and his defence of
the Star fort, and Col. Ely endeared him
self to his command by the tenacity with
which he tv.ood by his men and shared
with them the privations of captivity. He
was captured about four miles fron Win
chester, in the fight of Monday morning.
Speaking of Cot. Lee reminds me of his
(the Eighteenth Connecticut) regiment,
which went into the fi ght on Saturday over
nine hundred strong, and to-day thirty
one men and two commissioned officers
are all it can muster—Major Henry Peale
and Captain Frank A. Palmer, the last
named being on General Milroy's staff.
An tonoriable Record.

p The alacrity with which the people of
the Loyal States, without distinction of

the Government, deserves to be signalized
equally fur admiration and gratitude.—
Such inextinguishable and voluntary pa.

tion, and it is to this manillbstation that
the intelligent friend of the National' Gov

instead of rejoicing in the rebel raid

Our Loss
Col. Thos. A. Scott
Since the excitement at the beginning
of the week, Colonel Thomas A. Scott, of
the Pennsylvania railroad, has been inde
fetlgable in attending to the defence of
the State, and he has spent nearly all his
time here. The following allusion to Col.
Scott and the railroad seems to be but
just:
"When the war broke out the services
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, with her
immense resources, were placed under
the exclusive control of the Government
Its energetic officer, Thomas A. Scott,
Esq., the Vice President of the road,eame
in person to the State and National Capi-
tals to render his aid, and he continued in
that service until others were initiated by
him to perform the duties. When our
soil was invaded last year and the militia
called out, all the cars ana locomotives
ihat could be commanded were furnished
without remuneration, and troops poured
in for our detente.
When we see the capital of the State
again in danger, who do we meet again at
his old post but Thos. A. Scott, Esq., the
Vice President, giving his sole attention
to the preservation of our lives and our
property. This is not all. The workmen
train her immense shops and branches are
brought here with pick and shovel under
the superintendence of one of her master
builders, Mr. Stephen McCalla, for the
purpose of assisting in the 'erection of the
immense fortifications. We must candidly
admit that if it had not been for the large
force sent hero by the Pennsylvania Rail
road, the forces employed by the Harris
burg Car Company, and Baily's and Mc-
Cormick's rolling mills, under the super
intendence of the Messrs. Baily, Wm. T.
Hildrnp and Col. McCormic, the works
would not have been completed for weeks
to come. the workmen in the Penney!.

The Whereabouts of Gen. Loe
A recent reconnoissance of our cavalry
is said to have solved the mystery of the
presence of Geri. Lee and Gen. Ewell. It
is also ascertained that Gen. Longetreet
was on Wednesday at Union, Loudon
county, in the Bull Run Valley. Also,
that Gen. A. P. hill's advance guard,
consisting of Hampton's Legion, was ad
vancing towards Dumfries, and that one
regiment had made its appearance at Staf
ford Court House. Combining these facts,
intelligent officers draw the conclusion
that Gen. Lee is advancing upon the Ar
my of the Potomac in three columus—his
right, under Hill, by way of Occoquon and
%olf Run Shoals ; his centre, under
E well, by way of Thoroughfare Gap ; and
hie left, under Longstreet, by way of
Leesburg.

Latest from the South
HARRISBURG, June 22.—From all the
information that can be obtained, it is be-
lieved that the whole rebel force on this

direction.
The enemy occupied Greencastle at noon
today with a force of cavalry, infitntry and
artillery, and is said to be in strong force.
The troops at Chaulbersburg, under Gen,
Knipe, being the outpost of oar forces up
the valley, will fall back to the main army
if closely pressed by &large force of the
enemy.
Every preparation is being made to meet
them should they decide to move in this
direction.
