General Imboden, in pursuance of the instructint General Ewell was also instructed to march from Carlisle. General Stuart continued to follow the movemenng any communication with him until his arrival at Carlisle. The march toward Gettysburgh was conducted more was received of the arrival of General Stuart at Carlisle, and he was ordered to march to Gettysburgh, and trned the bridge. Some few prisoners were taken at Carlisle--two or three hundred--all militia, and they, as ades's, of Ewell's corps — came up on our left from Carlisle and York, and, falling upon the enemy's right flaned their tents near by. The Sixth corps marched to Carlisle Wednesday morning, the first day of this month forlags flying and band playing, and took the road to Carlisle. The other two brigades it was supposed had gone

yed, but, upon their urgent request, abstained from burning them, because their destruction would have endangered the safety of the town. Beyond the destruction of the switches, portions of the track and of the telegraph, and some company cars yet remaining here, no public property, as far as we are informed, was destroyed. Several cars, the property of citizens, were not destroyed. Last evening Gordon's brigade returned through town and encamped several miles from the borough. on the Carlisle road. This morning the other brigades followed westward, with their artillery and munitions. The town is now no longer occupied by the enemy in force, but a few pickets and scouts are passing through town as we write, and they are no doubt yet in the surrounding country. Let us hope that they are on the retreat, and that the invasion of our fair State by the enemy may soon be at an end, and never again be repeated. We have no news from the outside world, being completely cut off from

first evening of their arrival they enlivened the town by playing rebel airs. At last they struck up Dixie; immediately some twenty young ladies, headed by Miss McCameron and Miss Emma Wantz, joined in singing the Star-Spangled banner, which soon drowned the rebel horns. This created intense feeling, and the Union boys sent up shout after shout. Another incident, worthy of note, occurred after a portion of the rebel army had passed into Pennsylvania. Four Union prisoners, captured near Carlisle, were brought into town under guard, when the two young ladies above named stepped into the street and presented each prisoner with a bouquet, tied with red, white, and blue. In passing through Maryland the rebel army lost large numbers by desertion, the most of them being Virginians and North-Carolinians, while some few were Northern men and foreigners. When the Union cavalry entered the town several rebel soldiers came in and gave themselves up. After the passage of Longstreet's co

the Potomac at any of the fords from Coon's Ferry upward, there were enough troops on the river road to hold him in check until the rest of the army could move over to support them; if Lee took up a position behind the Seneca near Frederick the whole army could be rapidly concentrated in that direction to attack him in force; if he moved upon Baltimore the entire army could rapidly be thrown in his rear and his retreat would be cut off; if he moved by Gettysburg or Chambersburg upon York or Carlisle we were equally in position to throw ourselves in his rear. The first requisite was to gain accurate information as to Lee's movements, and the second, to push the work of supply and reorganization as rapidly as possible. General Lee and I knew each other well. In the days before the war we served together in Mexico, and we had commanded against each other in the Peninsula. I had the highest respect for his ability as a commander, and knew that he was a general not to be trifled wit

his breast, his cap dropped from his hands to the floor, the prayers of the congregation did not disturb him, and only the choir and the deep-toned organ awakened him. Afterward I learned that the minister was credited with much loyalty and courage because he had prayed for the President of the United States in the very presence of Stonewall Jackson. Well, the general didn't hear the prayer, and if he had he would doubtless have felt like replying as General Ewell did, when asked at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, if he would permit the usual prayer for President Lincoln--Certainly; I'm sure he needs it. General Lee believed that Harper's Ferry would be evacuated as soon as he interposed between it and Washington. But he did not know that Halleck, and not McClellan, held command of it. When he found that it was not evacuated he knew some one had blundered, and took steps to capture the garrison and stores. On Tuesday, the 9th, he issued an order, directing General Jackson to move the nex

rk, with orders from Ewell to break up the Northern Central Railroad, destroy the bridge across the Susquehanna at Wrightsville, and then rejoin the main body at Carlisle.
