ie muskets, which they use with some dexterity, but altogether without effect, as nobody on this side the river has been "hurt." Gentlemen with spy-glasses assert that they saw several on the other side fall, and that they were picked up and carried off. The firing from the Maryland shore is still progressing at the time of this writing. --Tuesday evening. Federal troops are said to be quite thick this morning (Tuesday) opposite Edwards' Ferry, four miles from Leesburg; and also at Seneca, eight miles from Leesburg. A reinforcement from Manassas Junction has been sent to this neighborhood. P. S.--The Federal troops have planted cannon on the Maryland hills, opposite Edwards' Ferry, from which they have landed several balls on this side the river. The same paper thus alludes to the march of Gen. Johnston's column: One of the grandest sights we ever witnessed was the march of Gen. Johnson's Harper's Ferry forces. The soldiers were mostly large, fine looking m

Ewell was also instructed to march from Carlisle. Gen. Stuart continued to follow the movements of the Federal army south of the Potomac after our own had Maryland, and in his efforts to impede its progress advanced as far eastward as Fairfax Court-House. Finding himself unable to delay the enemy materially, he crossed the river at Seneca, and marched through Westminster to Carlisle, where he arrived after Gen. Ewell had left for Gettysburg. By the route he pursued the Federal army was interposed between his command and our main body, preventing any communication with him until his arrival at Carlisle. The march towards Gettysburg was conducted more slowly than it would have been had the movements of the Federal army been known. The leading division of Hill met the enemy in advance of Gettysburg, on the morning of
