ItEIEtEL INVASION. WASHINGTON Juno 19, 1863.—Your special messenger, directly from Gen. hooker's headquarters brings important intelligence that the enemy had moved upon Centreville, and .in an encounter with our forces at that point bad defeated them. Gems. Leo and Ewell took possession on Thursday of Thoroughfare Gap. Gen. Longstrest is in the neighborhood of Lees burg, and is Constantly threatening Gen. Slocum, who is, however, carefully on his guard against surprise. Gem A. P. Bill is known to have reached Dumfries on Thursday ntght,but nothing has, een ascertained.of his move molts beyond that time. The Rebel infantry aro now in Ilagers• town, 4,000 strong. The Rebel force at Williamsport is much greater. This morning, the Rebels brought all their stores and baggage to this side of the Potomac; with the purpose of making that their base of, operations for extensive . raids into Penasylvania. FREDERICKSBURG, MD., Jnne19,1863. --All- quiet here. A stage which left bore this morning, mad got as far as Boonsboro, was stopped by the Rebel cavalry. The number of Abe Rebel cavalry is not stated. All is quiet at Harper's Ferry. ' : Twenty of White's Rebel cavalry were .captured last night at the Point of Rock's ,by. our troops. Trains ran from Frederick to Baltimore to-day. Many refugees have returned to Fred •et ick. MCCONNELLSBURG, Pa..Ji4ne 19,1803 —A detachment of Gen. Jenkins's forces of mounted infantry, anderCottimand of -Col. Ferguson, entered this place at 4 , o'clock this morning. The Rebels opened all the stores, help ing tlieniselves to hoots, shces, hats, pro visions, and everyttng else they could possibly carry away. The town was so completely taken by surprise that the citizens were unable to hurry their horses to a place of security, and large numbers of them fell into the blade of the Rebels, The Rebels also drove away about 612,- 000 'worth of cattle. One of the Rebels in attempting to cap- tin? a horse, was shot through the neck by some unknown persons. This so ex asperated his companions that they threat tined toburn the town,but finally desisted. "The Rebels completely gutted the tel tgraph once, carrying away with them the instruments and all the messages. The telegraph operator succeeded in making his escape. After the Rebels had collected all their plunder and were ready to evacuate the place, the Colonel commanding the Reb els made known to the citizens that ho was ready to listen to any claims for the reeovery of horses, cattle, provisions, Sze. Many applied for the return of their property, but for the most part were un successful until a number of ladies camp forward and interceded with the Rebels, when a portion of thy.; property was re stored. The Rebels .retreated in the direction of Hancock, but where they may nest turn up it is impossible to say. A number of bouquets were presented to the Rebels by sympathizing lathes, and it was principally these that received bitch their horses, cattle, Sze. „ CINCINNATI, June 20; 18uo.— x est er day about one hundred of the 4th Ken tucky Rebel cavalry crossed the Ohio River into Harrison County, Indiana, for the purpose of waking a raid into the interior. At Orleans the Rebels had a skirmish with the Home Guards; whom they re pulsed. The - Rebeis were moving toward the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad at the last accounts. The militia with the convalescents from the hospitals at New Albany and Louis ville have started in pursuit of the Rebels. The Indiana State authorities have is sued a call for 20,000 volupteereers to serve for six mouths. The ..:1 - ;ishville Press reports the ru mored death of the guerrilla Forest, who is said to have been shot and killed by a lieutenant in his command, at Spring Bill, on Friday evening, the 12th inst. It was reported thkt Forrest had accuseed the lieutenant of cowardice on some occa sion, to which the latter had replied very tartly, when Forrest ordered him out of the room, and at the same time giving him a kick to help him out, whereupon the lieutenant drew his pistol and fired at Forrest. That Leo wanted to strike at Wash ington by his last move, is admitted, con ditiolly probably, by The Petersburg ET press of the 13th, which in speaking of Union gunboats geing up the Chicka hominy, Bag : ‘!Whether this is to be the base of operations for a new move on 'Richmond, or merely a feint to reduce Gen. Lee's great army, now starching upon Washington, we Ewe unable to say." Official information has beau receives at. Washington that Col. De Conroy, with a detachment of cavalry, cut off at Triplett's Bridgo the body of Rebel Cavalry that made the raid upon Mays ville, Ky., killing and wounding many, and taking over 100 prisoners, includ ing oae captain and two lieutenants.— Ile also ree,n,tural all the property 61,Ln 1 tram 'lay: ; ; ii?... THE JOURNAL. coudprsport, Pa. Wednesday, June 24:1863 M. W. McALARNEY, EDITOR. Recruiting Going on—Flow the Draft May Be Avoided. Loyalty and earnestness in crushing out the rebellion is daily encouraged by !reading how the rebels aro hurt in a WOW wa,'. Of course those Who sympathize with tbe two thousand " ; Southern breth ren" who passed through Lancaster on Tuesday , as prisoners of war, taken at Vicksburg, and on their'way to Fort Del awarp, are opposed to carrying oo,the war in this way. .We refer to the fact that when our men make a raid into the ene my's lines they go on a recruitfnu expe.l dition. They do not only bring in all the' horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep, but all the men, too. True, their skins are' said to be a little blacker than their trai- ' tor masters, but they can shoot quite as hard as though they were white. To show' what is, being done in the way of getting new recruits, we give a few of the items which have come to hand recently. First we have the, intelligence from S. Carolina—previously brought through rebel sources—that Col. Montgomery has returned from a raid I,bto the interior of that State, bringing with hinione..thous and negro recruits. Second, :recent New- Orleans advices announce tile arrival in that city of six thousand negro recruits from the Teche region, with a large amount of stock and valuable stores.— Third, the fast cavalry raid from the York river to the Rappahannock gathered a thousand "chattels" onirthe route. And so it goes. There is no expedition made into tebel territory that does not- bring back two or three hundred of these "raw recruits," for whose perpetuity in Vend age this rebellion was got up. It is impossible not to see to what this state of things is tending. The war is steadily sapping, undermining, dissolving and wiping away .be institution of slavery in this country. The war could not pos sibly be so conducted as not to promote this process. But happily none except the sympathizers with the rebels care to save it from this natural consequence, be. cause the practical advantage has become evident to all. Every day is adding to the crippled condition of the rebels. , The employment of slaves as soldiers in the Union army is only ;nether step' in the order of things we have been con- 1 sidering. The slave escaped is . a sub traction from the rebel resources—put into the Union ranks, he is a positive in strument of destruction. It is a plow share lost, only to be beaten into a sword for the loser's breast Here, too, all doubt and distrust are fast giving way before the evidences of actual experience. That negroes drill well, is, not denied— that they fight well, we have the testimo ny of all engaged in the attack on Port Hudson. To say that new ties are involved in their' employment, is only to state the law which attaches to the receipt of every commanding advan tage. We must meet these things like men and patriots, And then the soluticn will te'effications in securing the over throw of the rebellion and the restoration of the Government. —Lancaster Exami ncr and Union. tew.The Councils of the City of Balti more—the metropolis l of a slave State— unanimously adopted the following reso lutions with regard to the recent arrest of the traitor Vallandigham. The reader can judge of the relative loyalty of the Demottratic leaders in Pennsylvania and that which animates the city fathers in Baltimore: WHEREAS, Clement L. Vallandigham of the State of Ohio, has long been en deavoring in his public speeehs to create clissmitions in our country, and poison the public mind against the Federal Govern ment, therefore, I?esolVeddry the Mayor and City COWL eII of Baltimore, That they have heard with pleasure of the arrest and aransport ation .beyond our lines of Clement L. Vallandighan, and that in their judg ment the best interest of the coptry and the pieservation of the Government fully justified the proceeding. Resolved, That whilst they consider all measures of the Federal Government are subjects for just and fair criticism,: they do not, believe that at a time like this any man should be tolerated who is I plainly, palpably, and notoriously endeav oring to create a factious opposition to the Government, ther i eby increasing the difficulties of putting down the rebellion. Resolved, That the Hon... John Lee Chapman, Mayor of the city of Baltimore, be and be is hereby requested to trans mit a ropy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the President of the United States, and also to Gen. Burnside. IS.IV.We heard an anecdote running something like this : A would-be artist painted a picture on canvass for exhibi tion in a public genet'. When he had finished it he wrote in staring, capitals underneath : "THIS IS A HORSE !" We sometimes meet men who remind as of this anecdote., They cannot talk five minutes without ;introducing the con dition of public affairs. They are satis fied with nothing 'that the Adruinistra tie° or Congress does. All is wrong. The war is unnecessary' and taxes are high. If the Republicans had minded their busi ness and left the Sauth alone, there would have:b.?en now and then they stop to asseverate "I am a Union man !. am for the country ;of course I am a Union man—as good as anybody." Now neither Republicans nor war dem ocrats interlard their talk with "I am a Union man." It is not necessary. -. No body ever accuses such men of disloyalty; neither do their consciences accuse them of disloyalty. The truth is, any man who finds it nec essary to endorse his own loyalty, in these times, deserves to be suspected Patriotism is one of the exact and posi tive virtues, as mathematics is one of the exactsciences.—..-Igitator. The colored troops in the service, on every hand , mentioned with praise by practical officers, are enumerated as fol lows :, General Thomas' recruits, 11,000; under General 13anks, 3,000 ; in Kansas, 1,000; in South Carolina, 3,000; in North Carolina, 3,000 • under General Rosencrans, 5,000 ; under General Scho field, 2,000; Massachusetts regiments, 1,200 ; in the Distrait of Columbia, 800; total, 30,000. There are also 5,000 col ored men in the navy. The Canal Convention at Chicago ap pointed a committee to prepare a memo rial to the Presideut of the United States and Congress, urging the passage of laws necessary to the construction of the canal between - the Mississippi river and the At lantic, with canals connecting the lakes, as a great military and commercial rie- Gen. Rosencrans has written a - latter strongly condemning Slavery, which he rightly regards as the foundation of this rebellion, and which is doomed to perish with it. Brought up in the Roman Cath olic schools, the opinion of this brave pa triotic .otEeer, should have much weight among Ulnae of his belief, who have too generally been led to take sides in favor of enslaving the African rate. NEW HAMPSIIIItE.-Thi new Repub lican Governor, Gilmore, islinaugurated, and Republican officers in both houses. Gov. Gilmore says that patriotic State has furnished more, than her gnota of men for the war,-and that he cannot in this crisis, split hairs between the Ad ministration and the Government. • The Navy Department has received from Admiral Dupont the particulars attending :the destruetion of Bluffton, South Carolina. It appears that on the 3d ingt. lie ordered Lieut.-Commander Baron to proceed with the Commodore McDonough on this expedition. The army forus from Gen. Hunter's cent [nand numbered 1,000, on board the transport Mayflower, and another army transport utide-_the ceingiand of Cul. Barton. By order of this officer the tern of Bluffton was destroyed by fire, the church there only being spared. Though the Rebel troops made several oh:Alger' -••i our force, they wcro driven back by the shells and shrapnels of the Commodore McDonough. Bluffton being entirely destroyed, the soldiers re-embarked with out casualties, and returned to Hilton lead. The Admiral says that the expe dition was a complete success, owing to' the hearty co-operation of both branches of the service. A letter from Vicksburg of the 11th says : "Yesterday Judge Lowe of liee- Ituk, lowa, had an interview with Gen. Grant, and in reply to a question when Vieksburg would be taken, the General replied : can take it any hour; but in making an immediate attack I would sac rifice the lives of many valuable mon, whereas there is not, in my estimation, any occasion for such sacrifice. The en emy are completely surrounded, and are short of both provisions and. ammunition. They are losing from 80 to 100 every day ,by desertion, and I am not at all ap prehensive of the results consequent upon an attack in my rear. My force is ade quate either . to whip the Rebels by force of arms or by starvation. I prefer the latter course, inasmuch as it demoralizes their army and does not decimate mine." We find the following Vicksburg items, in The St. L 01173 DMOCTat : At 2 a. m., Saturday, our approaches by Sherman's! corps were pushed up to the Rebel rifie pits and to within twenty yards of one; of their bastions. The Rebels threw lighted shells over the parapet on our ap proach, and in return twenty three hand-4 , -renades, twenty of which exploded, driving the Rebels out. On Friday, the Rebels cut away the timber in the- rear of their lines and opened on us with an cloven-inch Shell, and two or three s iege guns. Gen. Logan ,silenced their mortar with his thirty-pounder Parrotts and 92-pounders. The gunboat Marmora destroyed the town of Eunice • n Saturday. We learn . from Gen. Hooker's army that the several corps are steadily assum ing the positions respectively ass'gned to them- The Ist army corps on Sunday marched 23 miles, on Monday 15, and on Tuesday 30 miles. This, considering the intense heat of the weather and pre vious long marches, is an extraordinary performance. The distance the corps marched yesterday is not known, but was probably 20 miles. Other corps have made rapid Marches, but none have ac complished so great a distance, Sixteen hundred Rebel prisoners, cap tured by Gen. Grant, arrived at Balti more on Friday on their way to Fortress Monroe to be exchanged They were; escorted through the city -by the, New I York 7th Begitisent. Their motley dress and unintelligent countenances, were in V striking contrast with the appearanee ofl the boys of the 7th. From the 58th Pa. Regiment. NEWBERN, N. C:, MAY 28, 1863. . DEAR BROTHER JOAN : I have passed through some exciting scenes since L was out to, Cole's Creek vvith.:a squad of twelve men, and crossed the. Creek and got into their breast-works, Not long after we were, gone the Rebs cape down and burueds.be bridge. Three days after an expedition went ' out commanded `by our Col. If T don't write in a connected style, it isbec'ause half-a-dozen Dutchmen have come into my tent, and are all jab bering together: 'Wel), the expedition was composed of five Regiments of In fantry and five pieces or Artillery, with with several Companies of N. Y. Cavalry. Thursday morning, at 6 o'clock, compa nies K, I, and B, started on the Dover road, and one hour after-Ward the remain der of the expedition started. • We.went to Cole's Creek, .crossed, and then' went over to the railroad and rested till sun down. Then the 58th Penniylvania and , the 27th Messaehusetts, took to the left of the railroad, the remainder of the ex pedition took the Dealer road to •the'right of the railroad. Thdy were to make a demonstration in front of the enemy's works at Gtim Swamp, while we were to come round and attack them in the.rear. We marched all night through swamps,,, briar jungle's and creeks, and came upon their rear a little after sunrise. ' •In the mean time-the other part of the l.expedition had arrived in front of their works and had been skirmishing since day-light. As soon as we came near them, the 27th were aent up the railroad to out off their retreat, and our reginient was dividedinto attacking parties; some companies being delegated as skirmish ers and others held as reserves. The at taek• was now commenced by our charg ing, first on their camps and captnriug their wagons, &,e., with 50 horses ; then 1 upon a double line of breast-works, driv . - ing thew out and capturing a 12 pound! ! cannon with! , horses and all belonging to it. They now commenced a pretty hot! fire from the railroad, but were soonlint ,in a way to get as good as they sent.— ' Myself with about 20 :men charged over to the railroad and 'drove their left into the swamp. About - the same time a com pany appeared on-the railroad above them and we now had them between three fires, which soon skedaddled them into the !swamp, thoie that did not surrender. We took 270 prisoners 50 horses, 8 mules, 4 wagons, 2 ambulances, and medical stores valued at 81000. .We came near capturing their General • with his whole staff. There were two regiments defend ing the breast-works and one hotly ad vancing, to reiutorce them ivith two more pieces of artillery. After gathering up the prisoners and other f kings we rested about three hours and then started to wards camp. Just as „we were leaving, the Rebels came down with two • pieces of artillery, and commenced shelling us, with no effect, however, but to bring our, artillery back, which had not as yet fired a shot, and now gave them a severe 'shel liog, which sent. them back in a hurry. Twelve long, weary miles w&marched, crossed Cole's Creek, and rested the re mainder of the night in onr temporary camp this side of Cole's Creek. - Along in the night' the Rebels fired on our pia:- ets, and in the morning they fired o ns in the skirmish line just as we were start ing again. About a dozen shots from our 112 poonders completely silenced them land drove them ,back. The line then moved 'on. companies K and B with one piece of artillery formed the •rear guard, and I was sent back with two _men to Bee, if the enemy were following.: I saw no) l one at the Creek, but soon after . leaving there I heard the rumbling of artillery wagons comit , down the road. I hur !ried on and found the Regiment about five miles frcm where we' started in the morning. We rested here and then went ton to camp,' without further molestation, but our peace was destined 'to be of short duration, for soon after the cavalry and infantry had all left here but, our regi ment, and the artillery would have been , gone but. for the jaded condition of the horses, the! Rebels • came down 12,000 strong, and with 12 pieces of artillery, resolved to retrieve their fortunes. They commenced an attack upon our pickets at N'cuse bridge, and shelled a company out of a•bleck-house on our out-post. The Colonel took part of our ree er iment and,re pulsed the enemy, driving them back, but was shot through the heart by a sharp shooter, while heading a skirmish. line, endeavoring to charge on and capture a small Mountain howtzor that was plabed ./ in a position' to greatly annoy our pickets. When our Colonel fell the Rebels „eve a yell of exultation and endeavored to make a das,h and get his body, but were repulsed with great loss, for our artillery was now placed in positron and opened fire. The second shot dismounted one of their guns, killed several men and wounded more. They soon made out that this Country was too hot to hold them, as our skirmishers were attacking them on both flanks and in their rear, and the artillery was raining shot and shell into their , midst. Reinforcements bad also begunlo arrive from Newbero, and s the Rebels left quicker than they came., Our Colonel had Ids Commission for! Brigadier-Ocneral in his rocket when'he, was killel We hale been relieved from outpost duty and removed to Newborn. We du not know what the next performance will be. There is some talk of our, being put in the city as Provost• Guards. The Gen eral promised us a rest on account of our past services and great activity on the outpost. j B. A. GREEN.
