The Daily Dispatch: June 30, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Yankees advancing (search)
The Yankees advancing The Yankees yesterday were at Tunstall's Station in considerable force, mostly cavalry. Their infantry was no doubt advancing in the fear ready to support them. Their force is variously estimated at from 10 to 25,000 men Opinions are much divided as to the object of this expedition. Some suppose the design is actually to attack the city; but to us, that seems preposterous. Others think with more appearance of probability, that it is intended merely to keep up an excitement and draw off men from Lee's army. It appears to us that we have force sufficient not only to defeat, but to capture the whole of their army, should it venture near enough.

ollect how horror-stricken they The panic, indeed, so far from subsiding appears to be gathering strength with every day that our troops remain on the soil. Gen Lee has issued strict orders to "respect private property." We were greatly disappointed at this in the first instance, for we had hoped that the Yankees would be mad to the discipline of an army as a habit of plundering. They soon to think of nothing else, become demoralized, and fall an easy prey to their enemies Doubtless Gen Lee had this fact, attested by all history, in view when he issued the order in question. He cannot afford to let the discipline of his army be relaxed, especially at this time, when he has a powerful army of the enemy to fight and that too in that enemy's own country. As for Gen Lee's intended movements, we are an unable to conjecture what they are as the New York Herald itself or even the Times, or in fact any other Northern journal that has tried its hand at prophesying. Some suppose

Gen. Lee's army — its advance in to Maryland and Pennsylvania. The army of Gen. Lee is still on its march Northward, and thus far has met with no opposition.

Lee is still on its march Northward, and thus far has met with no opposition. A gentleman who left Charlestown Jefferson county, on Thursday last, in forms us that the last of our forces, the division of Gen. Pender, passed through Smithfield, in that county, on Wednesday, on route for the Potomac. This point is about 10 miles from the river. The advance of our army, consisting of Gen. Rodes's division, was known to be in Chambersburg when our informant left the Valley, whilst other divisions were encamped between that town and Greencastle. This gentleman thinks ton of the cavalry, which have been so bravely contending with the enemy's forces East of the Blue Ridge. Before crossing the Potomac, an order was issued by Gen. Lee that no private property should be touched. Citizens of Maryland were informed that such supplies as the army needed would be procured in the country, and paid

G. Young, and the vessel backed off into deep water, when she was brought to an anchor — The wounded were sixteen in number. The position of Fey's army A letter from Frederick, Md., dated the 24th says: It is rumored here, and generally believed, that the greater part of Lee's army has crossed the Potomac, and is now on the soil of Maryland. It is confidently asserted that the crossing was made at three points.--Williamsport, Shepherdstown, and Antietam fords, and that it has been going on since Friday or Saturday last. The people of Pennsylvania must now be prepared to defend their soil from the tread of the invader, for devastation, plunder, and destruction follow in the track of these Godforsaken traitors. Momentous events are at hand. I have not the time,

Gen Lee's whole army is undoubtedly in Pennsylvania. His own headquarters are at Hagerstown, Md., from which he is directing the movements. Gen. Longstreets corps crossed near Williamsport on Saturday. A great battle is impending at Harrisburg today. Last night the rebels were within three miles of the city, and heavy firing was going on all day. This was probably the outposts, skirmishing as the enemy advanced. Mechanicsburg was surrendered by our troops yesterday morning and immediately occupied by the rebels. They also took possession of York, our troops clearing out be fore them. They have done serious d

The letter says: The enemy's camps on the Maryland Heights opposite Harper's Ferry could plainly be seen away to our right, but Gen Lee seemed to care nothing for them. Gen. Wright, whose brigade was in front on this day, ran a narrow escape of being captured by some of the enemy's cavalry, for w of the Yankee army. But no one was molested by our army, only a sharp lookout being kept while the troops and wagons were passing, to prevent any disturbance. Gen.

Martinsburg is only 36 miles from Gettysburg, and the facilities for communication are good: Martinsburg, July 5.--Gen. Lee defeated the enemy in the battle of Friday last. We took twelve thousand prisoners. We lost four thousand prisoners. The Yankee army is retreating towards Baltimore. Gen. Lee is pursuing. Gen. Barksdale, of Mississippi, and Gens.

he position of the two armies. It appears evident to us from Mead's dispatch of Friday that Gen. Lee has at last attained the object of his long and anxious labors, and that he has brought the remintentions. The capture of Winchester opened the way into the heart of Pennsylvania, and into it Lee poured his whole army. The rapid progress of his advanced corps soon compelled the Yankee army to leave their position around Washington and come in pursuit of him, and this, beyond all doubt, Lee foresaw. Longstreet had advanced as far as Gettysburg, when last Wednesday he came in contact wit to defeat their whole army with his single corps, what may we, not expect from the whole army of Lee? If the decisive battle has yet been fought, it must have been on the 4th, 5th, or 6th of Juwe can place implicit reliance on it. We therefore publish it for what it is worth. Nevertheless, we doubt not that General Lee has defeated Meade. Although this intelligence may not be reliable.

er, aided by the Provost Marshal and Chief of Police, is directed to search the houses of suspected citizens to seize arms that may be found. Another order commands all loyal citizens to hoist the national flag on the 4th of July. Another closes all places of business save newspaper offices, ice cream saloons, soda fountains, and fruit stands. It also excepts barbers' shops, with the condition that the keepers of them are loyal. These barbers must be terrible fellows. Their shops are club-rooms. Gen. Schenck is not going to allow brushes to foment the public feeling, nor cut-throat razors to hatch treason. The alarm and apprehension of the enemy is plainly exhibited in these measures. They fear the Marylanders. The sympathizers with the rebels must be kept down — they must be disarmed. Their fears are well grounded.--If Gen. Lee defeats their main Army Maryland will recruit his ranks to the full extent of his lessees in the great battle in which he will gain his victory.
