the benefit of his observations. On Tuesday he saw General Rodes's division, of Ewell's corps, commence its march to Chambersburg, by way of the turnpike from Hagerstown. They had ten pieces of artillery in this division, and the force consisted of cavalry, infantry and artillery. He estimates the number of this force at about 10,000, with along wagon train. The principal part of the force was infantry. Another division arrived at Shepherdstown, Sunday evening, and marched to Boonsboro', where it encamped on Monday evening, about three miles outside of the town on the National road. This force numbered from 12,000 to 15,000 men, embracing thirteen pieces of artillery and a regiment of cavalry. It had a long train of wagons, many of them United States teams, loaded with knapsacks, camp equipage, and forage. The aqueduct on the canal at Williamsport has been blown up, the locks destroyed, and all the boats in the vicinity burned. The lock gates at Millstown Point w

The aqueduct on the canal at Williamsport has been blown up, the locks destroyed, and all the boats in the vicinity burned. The lock gates at Millstown Point were also torn out, and the canal boats burned. At Green 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.

Additional from the North. The Baltimore American of the evening of the 25th, is received, and contains some intelligence of interest. The following is the latest telegram from Harrisburg: Harrisburg, June 25, 12.30 A. M.--At ten minutes past ten o'clock last night a rebel operator 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.

His account of the movement of Ewell's division upon Pennsylvania is the most complete that has yet been given. He wished to come on in the stage coming to Frederick from Hagerstown, but on his stating that he was going home to Delaware, they refused to let him pass out of their lines, fearing he might give information to the Unionists of their movements. He managed to get through by the underground railroad, without giving any pledge, and I have thus been e benefit of his observations.

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, Gen. McClellan would be ordered to resume command, in order that harmony and enthusiasm might again prevail unlimitedly in the army. My informant, who knows whereof he speaks, declares as his opinion that McClellan will receive h

ut 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 marching on Washington, in three grand columns, by way of Leesburg. Thoroughfare Gap and Dumfries. This is strategy with a vengeance. The communication to be kept up with three such columns as that, would involve a circuit of one hundred and fifty miles. The present contest is chiefly one of strategy, thus far. It is plainly seen now that Lee desired nothing better than that Hooker should cross into Maryland and uncover Washington. What Hooker proposes to do no one seems to know — but he don't seem in much of a hurry to cross. That he did not move rapidly into Maryland the

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. I captured three pieces of artillery, 200 boxes of artillery ammunition, over 500 prisoners, and 1,000 stand of arms. Also destroyed a large amount of salt, sugar, flour, meal and saltpetre, and one saltpetre works and other sto

sition of the rebel army &c The correspondent of the New York Times, writing from the Army of the Potomac, June 21, says: The situation is not materially changed since my last. Stuart's cavalry still range through the lower part of Loudoun Valley, and hover about our forces in the vicinity of Aldie and Thoroughfare Gap. No additional information concerning the position of Lee's main body has been received. Several circumstances combine to render the obtaining of information morey 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 the

I captured three pieces of artillery, 200 boxes of artillery ammunition, over 500 prisoners, and 1,000 stand of arms. Also destroyed a large amount of salt, sugar, flour, meal and saltpetre, and one saltpetre works and other stores. My command are much fatigued. We have had but two nights' sleep. The force in East Tennessee is larger than I had supposed. I did not attack London bridge for reasons that I will hereafter explain. 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
