Grant At eight o'clock yesterday. The movement of the army was then pro grassing. The Rebels in Kentucky under John Morgan, captured, the town of Cynthiana and two Ohio regiments, and layed seige. to Frankfort. They were compelled to abandon their attempts upon the latter place, and their forces were scattered in all directions by the attack of General Burbridge on Sunday morn ing. At last accounts Gen. Burbridge was in close pursuit of the enemy. Heavy firing is said to have been beard in the direction of Bottom's Bridge on Saturday night. General Meade, rode through a portion of his lines on Friday the 10th inst. The railroad has been torn up by our, troops, and the rails from Des patch Station to White House have been care fully carried away. There is nothing later from the department of. General Sherman. The Rebels shelled Gen. Butler's signal sta tion at Fort 'Wisconsin on the 10th instant, but didinot do much damage. Reinforcements have reached General Butler. The gunboat Gene ralyutman and Commodore Perry, bombarded Fort Clifton, near Petersburg, on the 9th, and succeeded, after a heavy fire on both sides, in silencing the main battery. A signal station belonging to the enemy on the Chuckatuok river with all its, men and material, has been captured by our troops. Tuesday, Junel4.---There is literally no news of importance today regarding the movements of our armies in Virginia. Mr. Stanton is silent; hence we conclude that no official news has reached the War Department Nothing occurred to disturb the quietness of the army in General Butler's department on Sunday nor since. The steamer Warner, from Bermuda Hungred, which arrived at Fortress Monroe on Monday, reports no news from that immediate vicinity, but states that heavy firing (the same as before reported) was heard in the vicinity of Richmond on Saturday. .The news from Kentucky shows that Gen. Burbridge was at Lexington on Monday, and reports the enemy to be completely demoralized by the fight at-Cynthiana, and are entirely out of ammunition, besides being scattered in all directions. The whole of Gen. llobson's corn mand.arezt _Falmouth, after being recaptured by our scouting party. . Despatehesliom Meniphis, via Cairo, on the 13th, state that the expedition of Gen. Sturgis in Tennessee had been defeated by a large force of Rebels, -ten thousand strong, under Generals Forrest, Lee and Roddy. The force of General Sturgis was 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. The attack was suddenly made.— Gen. Sturgis lost , his wagon train and many of his men, who were taken prisoners. Ilis am munition was previously exhausted, and he was Compelled to destroy his artillery in con seqnenee. The Rebel force which attacked him is supposed to be on its way to reinforce Johnston, by cutting in on General Sherman's FEB Wednesday, June 15:—The news from Grant are brief. and decisive. Nearly all his forces have crossed to the South side of James River, without much obstruction and a very trifling loss. They crossed the Chickabominy at two different points. Gen. Grant's hoad•guarters are at Bermuda Landing, and his forces are South of Richmond. Official news froin Gen:,Sherman, states that he was advancing his lines on lienesaw, on Tuesday afternoon. The report of. General Sturgis' defeat in Tennessee, is fully comfirmed. lie has been surperseded by Gen. A. J. Smith, The Rebel General and Bishop Leonidas Polk , is said to have bean recently killed. From Gencral Ilunier in " th'e Valley " we learn that he is all right., The. Heber are Franklin county, Pa THE PILOT :--C4 RE rebuilding. the bridge over New river. Our news from New Orleans is to the sth. The Rebel troops under Gen. Walker, are said to have gone north to join Johnston or Lee. Thursday, June IG.—The movement of Gen. Grant's whole army to the south side of the James River, is reported as a complete success, no opposition whatever being offered to him. His divisions and brigades passed the Chickahominy and the James almost without firing a shot, and without losing a man or a wagon. The change of base was thus effected without any obstruction from the enemy. Gen. Grant had an interview with Gen. Butler at the headquarters of the latter, at Bermuda Hundred, and together inspected the field works. An attack on Petersburg is contem plated. General Hunter's movements are reported having succeeded completely in preventing a junction of the rebel forces in the Shenandoah valley with the army of General Zee. News from the Gulf, by the supply steamer, Admiral, last evening, states that Admiral Farragut's fleet was threatened by an attack from the rebel rams at Mobile. Friday, June 17.—The news from Grant's army speaks of an unequivocal success at Peters burg. Lee's army had not reached Petersburg before the assault. Nothing late had been heard from General Sheridan except a statement in the Richmond Whig of the 15th inst., that he bad been routed by Generals Pita Lee and Hampton, left his dead and wounded on the field, and lost five hundred prisoners. There are no official report of. any movement in Gen. Sherman's army. Gen. Butler's force were busy on Thursday at Bermuda Hundred tearing up the railroad track between Petersburg and Richmond. The enemy hee disappeaaed from his front at that point. The news from Grant's army to-day was very cheering. Another gigantic flank movement is being made by Grant, and thus far has been entirely successful. Gen. Smith is reported to have taken Petersburg with four thousand pri soners and thirteen pieces of artillery. We owe this success almost entirely to the colored troops, whose courage was unflinching. Gen. Smith has publicly complimented their bravery. A despatch was received on. Sunday which changes the tenor of the last despatch. In stead of the numbers of prisoners taken by Smith being four thousand it was only four hundred, and the cannons captured were only four. Some parts of Petersburg are still oc cupied by the enemy, but the first line of in trenchments have been taken by, us, and every thing bids fair to prove successful in the end. Monday, June 13.—The market was rather dull to-day, accompanied with a' falling off in prices. Gold,was active to day; but the pre mium was not so high as during the closing days of last week.

A House for General Meade. The Philadelphians have presented %le wife of General Meade with a house, on the corner of Nineteenth street and Delancey place, in that city. This is a handsome acknowledgment of, the services of the lady's distinguished hus band, and is an acknowledgment of the right kind. It quite agrees with our idea, expres sed a few days since, as to how this matter ENCASTI,E, FRANKLIN CO., }'A., JUNE '2l, 1864. should be done. We congratulate the fellow citizens of the gallant commander of the Army of the Potomac upon the good sense that led them to spend their money in this practical and useful way, rather than upon the nonsense of an elaborate but unnecessary swor3.—ller ald. [FOR THE PILOT.] THE COMING DRAFT. Mr. Editor: —I was pleased to see in your last number, a suggestion, that, those subject to military duty who reside in the Borough, should take immediate steps towards raising volunteers to fill our quota for the next call, whenever, and for whatever number made. It is true, as you say, that no order has been of. ficially announced, but the Provost Marshal General in a despatch to Major C. C. Gilbert, A. P. M. General, under date of May 19th, used these words :--‘' Confer with' your State authorities and endeavor to get the. different districts and sub-districts to commence raising men at once, with a view to the new. call refer red to in the despatch of yesterday from the Secretary of War to General Dtx." He ad vises, too,the early revision of the enrollment, so that the new quotas may be ascertained from it. The Provost Marshals and Enrolling officers throughout the State are busy at work in re vising their lists:; all of which shows,,:con clusively that another call will be shortly made. And there is a strong reason for, it from the fact, viz: that a great many three year regi ments, whose terms of service expire this sum mer, will be soon mustered out. A good many have , been mustered out already, and every day we read of old regiments or parts of regiments going home for this purpose. The call will be made. Let us consider how many, men our Borough may have to furnish. In the several calls made last winter, amounting in the aggregate to 700,000 men, the quota of = Greencastle was 59. The number enrolled is set down in the published statement at 198. About 15 of this number have since enlisted. By a careful re vision of the enrollment, I think, that the to tal number on the list will not exceed 170. The calculations will soon be made. And it has been suggested wisely, too, I think, that a committee should at once examine the enroll ment and have the names stricken off, of, per sons who no longer reside here and of others not subject to the draft here. This should be done before the quota is made out. If it is not done we may have reason to lament our negligence. The longer the enrollment list, the wore men will be required for, the quota. Suppose the number enrolled:is about the same with that of last winter, and the President calls for 400,000 men, then the quota of the Borough would be about 33 men. It is not likely that the call will be made for - . tl much less number. • Now, then, from what has been said, it is not too soon to begin. With the experience of our Executive Committee, and sufficient means at their disposal, the work could be accom plished, though it would no .doubt take a lon ger time and harder work than it did before. As regards the means, I suppose nearly the same amount as that contributed last winter from among those subject to the draft could again be raised from the same class by sub scriptions, and the balance necessary to carry on ,the work might be raised' by taxation.— Now, as regards the latter, the property-hold ers of Greencastle have never before been cal led upon in this way to give of their means towards filling up our quota It is not hard for them. Every soldier who enters the ranks of the Union army is, in the most selfish view, an additional safe guard for the property of every citizen living along the Border. Without the large and well disciplined and brave armies we now have in the field, our State would soon be overrun by the Rebel horde. And then those-who had most property would suffer most, while those who had little would, suffer cow pazatively.little. It is but just that freehold ers should pay a fair proportion. And this being their first assessment for this purpose cannot, with any reason, complain. Other bor oughs have been taxed for all the money raised to put in recruits last winter, and are now about making arrangements to recruit for the call which is soon to be made. Aside from these selfish and pecuniary mo tives, every honorable consideration, and every emotion of patriotism, demands that our vic torious, army should be constantly augmented so that it may be prepared to accomplish its final and destined purpose—the suppression of the rebellion. Never before, in the progress of this war, have our arms been so signally blest with victory. The time, the hour, calls on every one to do his duty. I leave the matter before the attention of your readers, hoping theta public meeting will be called without delay, and immediate action. taken.

Communication.-In another part of this paper we publish a communication on " The Com ing Draft.," which we ask all the residents of the borough subject to the draft, to peruse carefully.— While it is intended for our own citizens, we hope the people of Antrim and other townships, would go to work at. once and fill up their probable quotas. We may say, in regard to one part of the article. that. our enrolling officer has been very busy at teuling to his duties, and showsa readiness to cor rect mistakes as far as he has power to do so.

Recall the last year and its history of our own com- munity, and our exclamation needs no further lustration. One, year ago to-day, different in every respect was the appearance of our town.

In the interview with' General MEADE, the Regiment WAS assigned to 81rEITERR'S Brigade, GRIMM'S Division, Fifth Army Corps.

Mins Government, we relate the fol- lowing : Owing to the impoverished condition of the coun- try and impelled by the natural desire to be with their husbands again, four - married women (with eighteen children) set out. from the vicinity of Hens ley's Methodist Church, Rockingham County, Vs., on Wednesday, the Bth of June, for Peoneylvenie, where they expected to meet their husbands, who had left some months previous for the freer and parer atmosphere of the loyal States. The names of the party areas follows, viz :—Mrs. Pramual. - HERMIT, with seven children, Mrs. Rost RENBLZT, with five children, Mrs. MATTHEW Lase, with six children, and' Mrs. HIRAM MCNUTT, mak ing twenty-two persons °in all. They had, when 'they started, two two horse wagons, and when three miles from Edinsburg, a party of guerrillas came out from a dense wood on the road, and took the boa horse from. them. They were then compelled to load up their effects and the small children in one wagon and abandon the other. The women and large children had to walk all the way from dint place, and met with no further interruption on the road. At Martinsburg they readily procured a pace to cress the Potomac. On last Thursday the party, wayrworn and foot sore, reached the vicinity of Greencastle, and were hospitably entertained by Mr bitostoxv. Their destitute condition becoming known to our citizens, contributions were at once made, end these women and children sent by railroad to Harrisburg. (Their horses and wagon were sent in charge of one of their friends in the same direction ) It was a pitiable sight, indeed, to pee these poor women, worn out with fatigue in traveling so many weary miles to escape starvation and persecution. Our readers will remember that some months ago we published a statemeas that a band of twenty four men, Union refugees from Rockingham co., Va., hacipassed over the South Mountain into Adams county, wbere they were engaged in cutting timber. Here the ems?! pox broke out among the party, and some of them died, and the rest scattered: among those iiho r died was a son of the elder, Mrs. Haw zx, the husband of the younger woman of that name. The.first intelligence they had of this fast they received here, and were distressed very much in consequence. These people represent the country from which they came as being stripped of almost everything— grain, stock, &c., by the rebel troops and guerrillas. It is impossible to buy merchandise at any price, as there is nothing for sale worth mentioning. The people along the mountains are-still loyal to the Union. Persecuted, driven from their homes, and forced to hide in the mountains to escape conscrip tion into the rebel ranks, the mountain Sons of Virginia, amid all their trials, are firm in their de votion to the old flag. They are hunted by con script gatherers and guerrillas, and often shoo 11: and sometimes coca); murdered. The rebels will have a terrible account to settle for their deeds'of cruelty. If our cotemporaries will publish the substance of this statement it may do these people muck good, their frieflds are scattered tbrough.the country, and may thus be able to hear about them Our Diamond.—Last week we had a local under the heading of " Our Neighbors and Our selves." The thought did not strike us at the time that, we, might make a continued subject of the es tire Diamond ; but since the issue of the pope we have noticed - the piece commented upon, and've concluded to ' 4, go the rounds" under the option of "Our Diamond."
