ere fighting has resulted each day, with the advantage on our side. In the upper part of Loudoun Valley, Buford has reconnoitered to Snicker's Gap; Gregg has repulsed Stuart twice at Aldie and Middleburg; Duffle cleaned out Thoroughfare Gap, and Stahl has reconnoitered at Warrenton. The ground is well covered by our active cavalry, and they are now doing better service than ever before. There has been heavy cannonading between Aldie and Middleburg all day. The probability is that another severe cavalry fight has taken place there. Pleasanton, under orders from Hooker, is throwing his whole force upon Stuart-to-day, assisted by a portion of General Stahl's force, and two brigades of infantry. It is believed he will this time either smash Stuart or get smashed in the attempt. The Military spirit at Harrisburg. The people of Harrisburg have an idea, says the American that the place has received force enough to make it feel secure against the approach of the rebels,

een Spring the embankment was broken, and the water running out of the canal into the field. The canal is a perfect wreck from Williamsport to Cumberland, Md. 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 and Saturday last. M'Clellan. A Cincinnati correspondent of the Chicago Times, under date of the 21st, writes: A prominent office holder from Washington, who enjoys the confidence of Mr. Lincoln, arrived here this morning, en route to Murfreesboro', Tenn. He states that the President remarked on Thursday evening last that he felt almost persuaded to call General McClellan to the Army of the Potomac, and that unless Hooker, in whom he had confidence, executed certain successful movements against Lee by Sunday

elieve that the ungainly and vacant countenance of Lincoln, as it is reported, is frequently overcast with a vague sense of terror that renders him incapable for a time of speech or of motion. The truculent incapable that surround him are seeking to illustrate by a new example the old adage:Improvise permeant perdunt. "The wicked destroy others that themselves may escape."They are fools in this as in all they have hitherto attempted. And those cowardly and incapable things--Lincoln, Seward, Stanton — have imagined that this fierce fighting American race, trained to liberty even in its excesses, will bow their heads beneath the trembling paws of these creatures, and quietly lay on the ground the "symbols of the free"--the arms that the Constitution of the land guarantee to them to keep and bear, "for the protection of themselves and of the State!" Every revolver you take from these people is replaced by a rifle and bayonet! Every old shot gun you steal from them is good f

ator attached his instruments to the wires at McConnellsburg, and opened communication with Pittsburg. He told a long story about Jenkins, and what he intended doing. No reliance is placed in the statement. It is reported and believed that Milroy has been relieved of his command. It is known here to a certainty that twenty regiments of rebel infantry passed through Chambersburg to-day. They were moving in this direction, and undoubtedly consisted of Ewell's corps (late Stonewall Jackson's) A dispatch from Cape Cod, dated the 25th, gives the following exploit of the little Confederate privateer Tacony: Hynum's Cape Cod, June 25.--A Welfleet schooner arrived here last night, bringing the crews of the fishing schooners Marengo, Elizabeth Ann, Rufus Choate, and Ripple, all burned by the pirate Tacony. They report that on Sunday last the Tacony burnt the Byzantine, from London for New York, and the bark Godspeed, from Londonderry for New York. The crews

is capture, which was made by Capt. Brown; of the 1st Mains cavalry, on the 19th. The mounted riflemen of the enemy's force do not appear to have had very good luck. In the fights of the 12th, a detachment of eighty were sent out as sharpshooters, and they were nearly all captured. They inflict severe losses, however, upon us, by picking off officers. The loss in Col. Duffle's obstinate fight with overwhelming numbers at Middleburg, will probably not exceed one hundred. Major Farrington is probably killed, or wounded, as he was not taken prisoner. Capt. Allen and Lieut Falos, who were sent with dispatches to Aldie, for Gen. Pleasanton, were thought captured, as they had not been heard from, and in going to Aldie they had to pass through the enemy's pickets. We have news this morning that some of the New York papers of Saturday have published an account of a defeat of this army, at Centreville, by Lee, on Thursday; and the same papers also announce that Lee is mar

At Massey creek I determined to return. In the movements I had very great difficulties that were unexpected. I found the gap through which I intended to return strongly guarded with artillery and infantry, and blockaded with fallen timber. A force was also following me in our rear, and I determined to cross at Smith's Gap, which I did. I will report more fully as soon as possible. H.Saunders, Colonel commanding. The scourge at hand a fierce denunciation. The New York Freeman's Journal has the following bitter denunciation of the Federal Government: The imbecile and wicked Federal Administration is drifting without rudder and without compass. It knows neither where it is, nor whither driven. We can well believe that the ungainly and vacant countenance of Lincoln, as it is reported, is frequently overcast with a vague sense of terror that renders him incapable for a time of speech or of motion. The truculent incapable that surround him are seeking to i
Buford (search for this): article 15
backward and forward evolutions of Lee's infantry for the last few days indicate that since Wednesday Longstreet's corps has been moved from the Shenandoah into the Loudoun Valley, and back again into the Shenandoah. Stuart's cavalry have been busily engaged in masking these movements of Lee. They protect and cover his flank and rear from the vigorous assaults of Pleasanton, and severe fighting has resulted each day, with the advantage on our side. In the upper part of Loudoun Valley, Buford has reconnoitered to Snicker's Gap; Gregg has repulsed Stuart twice at Aldie and Middleburg; Duffle cleaned out Thoroughfare Gap, and Stahl has reconnoitered at Warrenton. The ground is well covered by our active cavalry, and they are now doing better service than ever before. There has been heavy cannonading between Aldie and Middleburg all day.

found his tongue quite readily. There are now about 250 rebel prisoners at headquarters, including ten officers, the captives mainly of the cavalry fights of the last few days. They are from the various brigades of Stuart's force, who is getting all he wants to attend to at the hands of Pleasanton's active troopers. One of the officers is a Lieutenant Colonel of a North Carolina regiment of mounted riflemen, and he tells a very interesting account of his capture, which was made by Capt. Brown; of the 1st Mains cavalry, on the 19th. The mounted riflemen of the enemy's force do not appear to have had very good luck. In the fights of the 12th, a detachment of eighty were sent out as sharpshooters, and they were nearly all captured. They inflict severe losses, however, upon us, by picking off officers.

Federal raid in East Tennessee--immense destruction of railroad bridges and other property Cincinnati, June 25th. --The following dispatch has been received by Gen. Burnside from the expedition sent into East Tennessee: Boston, Tenn.,June 23.--I arrived here with my command this morning. I struck the railroad of the enemy at Lenoir, and destroyed the track up to Knoxville, made a demonstration against Knoxville so as to have the troops drawn from above; destroyed the track and started for Strawberry Plains; burnt the State Creek Bridge, 1,600 feet long, and Massey Creek Bridge, 325 feet long.
