NEW YORK, JUNE 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 Greencastle, 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 Wiecliester 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 Lee's object is the cap-
ture of Washington. The Confederates who at-
tacked 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 east
to Bladensburg, tear up the railway there, so as to
tut 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 Al'Clellan continues. The Philadelphia
and New York municipalities have also proposed
resolutions urging the President to reinstate
M•Clellan.

The New York German Committee has requested
Mr. Liueoln 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.

NEW YORK, JUNE 19 (Eveniug).

There is no material change in the state of
things at Vicksburg. The Federals still 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 Brougb, 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.
