to remain at Manassas Junction more than
two or three days, which may contemplate
an advance upon Alexandria, distant about
forty-fye miles, or a retreat should he be
attacked by the column under General
j ohm VI Doweli.

VANCE INTO MARYLAND.
CHAMBERsBURG, June THE south
ward march of the army collected at this
point commenced this morning at eight
O'Clock, in splendid order and brilliant
appearance. As the head of the column
left the camp, the scene was animated and
imposing-the citizens cheering and the
soldiers responding, while the feeling of
both commanders and troops was full OF
hope, courage and animation.
The movement OF the remaining force
here is not known positively, but it is IN
derstood that all will be ordered south in
a few days.

accomplished by the forces now at the
disposal of Gen. Scott, is a question on
which nen differ, but the Government
has determined to put it beyond doubt, BY
accepting all full regiments that are of
