From Northern Virginia.

The accounts which we continue to receive in regard to the operations of our army under Gen. Lee are cheering. There is no longer any doubt that the advance of our army has crossed the Potomac, and a portion of it has even penetrated Pennsylvania. We learn from a gentleman, who left Martinsburg a few days ago, that on Tuesday last we had one division of infantry at Hagerstown and others in the neighborhood, and that the cavalry commands of imboden and Jenkins reached Chambersburg on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning they commenced the destruction of the public property at that place, and removing the stores southward.

Harper's Ferry is said to be invested by a corps of our army. Everything indicates a general forward movement northward.
