AMERICA.
(Per the American.)
NEW YORK, /UNE 19 (Afternoon).
The excitement throughout Pennsylvania has
materially abated. The report of the invasion was
exaggerated, the only Confederate force in Penn-
sylvania being 3,500 men under Generals Jenkins
and Rhodes at Harrisburg and Greeneastle, and
they retreated upon the afternoon of the 17th inst.,
it is supposed to Hagerstown. The Confederates
have respected all private property, and paid for all
goods in Confederate scrip.
Harrisburg and Pittsburg are being strongly
fortified, as it is still believed that it may enter into
Gen. Lee's plans to attack these places, although it
is now generally thought that the capture of Wash-
ington is the object of Gen. Lee's campaign.
Upon Tuesday the 16th inst., the Federals at
Harper's Ferry were attacked by the Confederates
and compelled to retreat to Maryland Heights,
from where they shelled the Confederates, who,
after damaging the railroad and the canal, retreated
towards Williamsport, the Federals reoccupying

Harper's Ferry.
At Winchester Gen. Milroy abandoned his guns
and everything during his retreat, and his forces
became scattered; 1,600 of them arrived at Han-
cock, Maryland, but learning that the Confederates
were approaching in force, and being demoralised
and without officers, they dispersed over the

country.
General Hooker's army is supposed to be in the
neighbourhood of Bull's Run, his head-quarters
being at Fairfax, but General Hooker's movements
being dependent upon the development of General
Lee's plans, it is impossible to tell Hooker's exact

position.
The Baltimore correspondent of the New York
Herald asserts that General Lea's object. is the cap-
ture of Washington. The Confederates who at-
ticked Martinsburg and Winchester, and who in-
vested Harper's Ferry, and invaded Pennsylvania,
numbered 12,000 men, and consisted of three squad-
rons of Ashley's cavalry and the rest of mounted
guerillas under Jenkins, Jones, and Imboden, with
two regiments of infantry. General Ewell did not
command them, and they were not drawn from his

corps.
General Lee's plan is to move his whole army to-
wards Centreville, and launch them either directly
on the works at Arlington Heights, by way of
Vienna, and cross the Potomac at Coon's Ford, 12
miles above Washington then move directly call
to Bladensburg, tear up the railway there, so as to
cut off communication with the North and East, and
then attack Washington from that direction.
General Lee's main army was on Tuesday (the
16th) at Thoroughfare Gap, 40 miles west of Wash-

ington.
On Wednesday an engagement occurred at Aldie,
in the Bull Run mountains, between a detachment
of Federal cavalry, and Fitzhugh Lee's brigade, in
which the Federals drove the Confederates from
several positions for five miles, and captured seventy
prisoners.

The Governors of New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania are very active in raising and for-
warding militia to the points threatened.
Numerous regiments have left New York and
Philadelphia, and others are organising. The New
York 7th Regiment is stationed at Baltimore.
The popular clamour for the appointment of
General M'Clellan continues, The Philadelphia
and New York municipalities have also proposed
resolutions urging the President to reinstate
MClellan.

The New York German Committee has requested
Mr. Lincoln to permit Generals Fremont and
Sigel to issue a call for volunteers for the defence
of Pennsylvania. The President replied that the
Governor of New York was sending troops, and it
would cause confusion for the Administration to set
to work independently of him.

(Per the American.)
NEW YORK, JUNE 19 (Evening)

There is no material change in the state of
things at Vicksburg. The Federals stil.l hold the
Black River Bridge, and there are no Confederates
within 30 miles of Gen. Grant's rear.
Reinforcements and supplies for Gen. Pemberton
in Vicksburg are said to be sent across the Missis-
sippi from De Soto during night.
The reported capture of Pocataligo Bridge
between Savannah and Charleston by negro troops
was untrue.

Several Federal expeditions have been made
from Port Royal into defenceless portions of the
country, and private residences and property have
been destroyed and plundered.
General Hunter, who is replaced by General
Gilmore in South Carolina, has arrived in Wash-
ington.

The Ohio Republican convention nominated
John Brough, a war democrat, for Governor.
A Democratic meeting held at Springfield,
Illinois, has passed resolutions opposing the war,
favouring peace upon the restoration of the Union,
and proposing a national convention to secure the
Constitutional State rights.
A public meeting held at Montgomery, County
Indiana, has appointed a committee to inform the
enrolment commissioners that they would enrol at
their peril. Measures have been taken to arrest the
parties implicated in the meeting.
The Florida has Burnt the ship Crown Point.

THE ATTACK UPON GENERAL MILROY,

(From the Baltimore American.)

Major-General Milroy reached Baltimore at one
o'clock this morning from Harper's Ferry, and
returned again at 11 o'clock on a special train with
his staff. He came down to have a personal inter-
view with Major. Gen. Schenck, and to waive all
claims of rank in interfering with the command at
that point, which will remain under Brigadier-Gen.
Tyler. He, however, desired to return to his men,
and volunteered to act in any position that he
might be deemed most serviceable in.
We had the pleasure of a brief conversation with
him, and were pleased to learn that his forces have
not suffered to so great an extent as was supposed.
At the time he left the Ferry, forty-two members
of Alexander's Maryland Battery had arrived,
and it was believed a considerable number had
made their escape in the direction of Romney and
Cumberland. They mostly secared their horses.
and have probably accompanied the cavalry. The
only Maryland regiment that suffered severely was
the sth Regiment, known as Col. Bchley's, who was

absent in Baltimore. The enemy turned the guns
of the Maryland Battery on this regiment, and for
a time they were in a very hot position. The
number killed and wounded is not known,
though but few of them escaped either
casualties or capture. They fought bravely,
and it is hoped that a good number of them are
prisoners of war. The Sixth Maryland Regiment,
which was reported to have been cut up and almost
destroyed, to the astonishment of every one, came
marching into Harper's Ferry yesterday afternoon,
with their flags flying, arms at rest, and singing
" Hail Columbia," with the gallant Colonel Howe
at their head. It seemed as if they had risen from
the dead, and their return caused great astonish-
ment. It appears that at the commencement of the
assault on Winchester they were entirely cut off
and being surrounded by an immense force surren-
dered, and were taken to the back of the works. I❑
the =fusion of the assault made by the rebels they
were neither disarmed nor placed under guard, and
Colonel Howe, knowing the country ',ell, and see-
ing an opportunity to escape by side road, formed
his men in line, and in the darkness of the evening
moved quietly off. They were compelled to take
a circuitous road to reach the Ferry, but went on
their way rejoicing, with neither an enemy in front
nor pursuers in the rear. The cavalry fbrce of
Gen. Milroy, consisted of the First New York, Thir
tieth Pennsylvannia, and two companies of the
Third Virginia. Go]. Milroy ordered them to re-
treat to Romney and Cumberland, and be yester-
day received a despatch announcing their safe
arrival at that place.
The outer works at Winchester were carried by

the rebels by sten m at six o'clock on Sunday evening,
and the whole fortifications strongly invested by
force of not less than 15,000 men under General
Ewell. It became at once a question of ultimate
surrender or to make a bold dash to force their way
through the enemy's lines; and a council of war,
held on Sunday night, unanimously advised an
evacuation. The large guns and his artillery were
all spiked at once, and at one o'clock on Monday
morning he abandoned everything except his horses,
and struck boldly through the enemy's lines. The
movement was so rapid that the enemy was taken
by surprise, and, the night being dark, the
movement, so far as the troops immediately
investing the works were concerned, was accom-
plished with but little loss. They were followed
by cavalry, and a great many stragglers taken pri-
soners ; but when four miles this side of Winches-
ter, at the junction of the road leading from Berry-
ville to Bunker Hill and Martinsburg, they were
intercepted by a strong rebel force with artillery,
and strongly posted in the woods on the roadsides.
General Milroy rallied his men and made several
attempts to storm and capture their batteries, but
was driven back. Daylight was now rapidly
approaching, and it was deemed prudent to
endeavour again to cut their way through the
enemy's lines, which was successfully accomplished,
and being without artillery, they suffered conside-
rably, especially in prisoners captured, before the
enemy gave up the pursuit. About 12 o'clock on
Monday they reached Halltown, and the enemy,
having abandoned the pursuit, they, after a short
rest, marched into Harper's Ferry during the af,er-

noon, The gallant fellows were in a sad condition,
after so severe a march end fight, but were full of
spirit and gratification that they had escaped the
clutches of the enemy. All the stores, ammunition,
and waggons at Winchester, fell into the hands of
the enemy, together with all the artillery, not a gun
having been saved.

THE WRECK OF THE STEAM-SHIP
NORWEGIAN.

ASPY BAY, CAPE BRETON, June 14, 1863.
The steam-ship Norwegian, of the Canadian steam-
ship line, which lett Liverpool at half-past twelve
o'clock noon, of the 4th, and Londonderry on the
sth instant, for Quebec, was wrecked on St. Paul's
Island this (Sunday) morning, 14th instant, during
a thick fog.
All her passengers and e:ew, together with mails
and baggage, were saved.
The newspaper despatches were saved by Purser
Wallace.

(DeSpatch to the Agents in Montreal.)
MONTREAL, June, 17, 1863.
The following despatch has been received by the
agents of the steamer Norwegian :
" ASPY BAY, C. 8., June 14, 1863.
" Allan Rae and Co., Quebec.

"The Norwegian was wrecked this morning, at
seven o'clock, in a thick fog, on St. Paul's Island, a
mile and a quarter east of the North-east Light.
She had on board fifty-eight cabin and two hundred
and seventy-one steerage passengers—all, together
with the crew and mails, saved. A large portion
of the baggage has also been landed.
The steamer, when I left at one o'clock, was all
but on her beam ends, well on the rocks. Her fore-
peak and forward compartment have several feet of
water in them. The main and after ones are quite
dry.

" Captain M'Master was not certain whether she
could be got off. He requests that a steamer be sent
down immediately to the wreck.
" The passengers have been conveyed to the
Government Mame Society's House.
" Mr. Campbell, Governor of the Island, is lend-
ing all his assistance.

"JOHN WALLACE, Purser."

NEW YORK, JUNE 20, Morning,

General Sherman's corps have pushed their up.
proacbes to within 20 yards of the bastions a
Vicksburg.

The Richmond Inquirer says that the Federal
gunboats have ascended the Chickahominy to
within 50 miles of Richmond, a land force of 15,001'

co-operating. Preparations were being made to
repel any attack.
General Bragg has been reinforced, and there are
indications of his uniting with General Bukner to

invade Kentucky.
The British Consul has arrived from Richmond

at Fortress Monroe.

The Confederate Secretary of State has written
to Mr. Mason efficially that the President's deci-
sion to revoke the British Consul's exequatur was
mainly influenced by the Cmsul denouncing unoffi
cially the Confederate Government as indifferent to
cases of great and atrocious cruelty. These re-
marks referred to the enlistment by conscription of
two British subjects who, by their acts, had ac-
quired de facto citizenship. Protection and respect
will be continued towards foreign consuls who pos-
sessed the Federal exequatur prior to the secession,
as long as they do not seek to evade the legitimate
authority of the Confederate Government. Bu'
Lord 14) ons assumes the power to issue instructions
and exercise authority over British consuls residing
in the Confederate States, thus ignori►.g the exis-
tence of the Confederate Government, and implying
the continuance or relations between that Ministry
and British Consuls residing in Confederate States
which existed prior to secession. This is also the
assertion of a right by Lord Lyons to exercise the
authority of a Minister accredited to and officially
received at Richmond. The President therefore
forbids further direct communication between neu-
tral consuls in the Confeuerate States and function-
aries of neutral nations residing in the enemy's
country. In future 01l communications between the

British Consul and foreign countries, neutral
hostile, must be restricted to vessels arriving from
or despatches to neutral ports.

Serious resistance has been offered to the enrol-
ment in Ohio. A collision has occurred between
the military and 500 armed insurgents. _

Another enrolment officer has been shot in

nthana.

It is considered certain that General Lee is ad-
vancing upon Hooker a army in three columns, his
right under Hill, by way of Occoquan and Wolf
Run shoals ; his centre under Ewell, by way of
Thoroughfare Gap ; and his left under Longstreet,
by way of Leesburg.
This information was obtained by a reconnaissance
of Colonel Duffie, who, after the engagement at
Aldie on Wednesday, proceeded to Middlesburg, but
was driven out by the Confederates, and retreated
across the mountains at Hope Gap, reaching the
Federal outposts by tortuous routes. Several of his

officers are missing.
General Hooker's forced march from Falmouth to
Fairfax was attended with great hardship, all the
streams being dried up. The woods were full of
stragglers, who could not be kept in the ranks, and
numbers fell upon the road through exhaustion.
An attack was apprehended in Baltimore on
Wednesday, the 17th inst., and north and north-
western roads leading to the city were barricaded
wi; h tobacco hogsheads.
Upon Wednesday night the Confederates crossed
the Potomac at two points, and drove the Federals
from Point of Rocks and Catoclin station, after-
wards capturing a military train running between
Harper's Ferry and Baltimore.
The Confederates have not entirely abandoned
Pennsylvania. Upon Friday morning, the 19th
inst., they entered Macannelsburg end carried off
large quantities of boots, shoes, cattle, and horses.
They still occupy Greencastle, and troops have been
sent from Harrisburg to Chambersb-arg by rail, and
will march from Cnambersburg against the Con-
federates at Greencastle.
Yesterday (19th inst.) 12 Confederate regiments
were encamped about Hagerstown and Williams-
port, Maryland, and more were ere asing at Wil-
liamsport. They have -visited Hancock, Maryland,
but were driven off.
The Federal General. Milroy is said to be advanc-
ing towards Rest, with 4,000 mounted infantry
and 5,000 mounted riflemen. The militia arriving
at Harrisburg are to be sworn in for 30 days. •
The Governor of Pennsylvania assures the troops
they would be discharged immediately upon the
present emergency being over.

EXTRAORDINARY ANTIQUAhIAN DISCOVERIES
IN ROME; as deactibed by a German scuiptor living
in the Eternal City.—The villa of Livia, the wife of
Augustus, called "Ad Gallinas," has been excavated near
Prima Porta, seven mi4lie fr, m Rome, on the Via Flareinia ;
and at the very beginuing of the excavations the completely
preserved figure of Augustus, besides three very beautiful
busts and reliefs, were brought to light. This figure, eight
feet in height, is the most beautiful imperial statue in exist-
ence, and altogether a work ot first rank. A special interest
is found in the excellently preserved traces of painting on
the mantle, under-garments, and arm .ur. The mantle was
red; but on the head and the nude legs no trace of painting
is to be found. The people who had made the discovery
were naturally very happy, and flattered themselves with
the hope of recei.ing no less than half a million of scudi
for it; but we considerably damped their enthusiasm, and
brought them down to 20,000 scudi. I wonder whether
our valuation was correct. The excavations of the im-
perial palaces, instituted by Napoleon, have likewise folded
important results already, chiefly of architectural interest.
The sculptures found yet are not of much consequence. It
is a colossal undertaking, and will take about ten years
more, at least before it is completed. In order to assist the
Emperor's plans the Pope has given orders teat the other
side of the Palatine, where the walls of Romulus were found,
shall likewisele examined; and excavations have been sot
on foot on that spot.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIowa y 's Pink —lnfectious Mala-
' dies.—We are all aware that at certain times disease runs
through the people like the plague of old, and all should
likewise know that Holloway's pills can check such spread-
ing calamity. This purifying medicine expels from the
blood and By stem all obnoxious matters which breed both
contagious and infectious maladies; it institutes a radically
curative rather than a palliative treatment. Holloway's
pills should be taken, without one moment's needless delay,
when disordered stomach, headache, restlessness or general
r. verishness betoken some derangement or dtbilny of the
fierce. The true art ot conquenug disease lies in obeying
nature ; and surely quit:ly getting rid of lurking po sons
and overcoming thr,ir punicious effects in the safest course
for the thYSiCia4.
