MARrIysBURG, July 10, 1861.
We have come to another siandstill, and when or
what the next move VIII be depends altogether upon
General Scott and the operations Of the Rebels.
Itis very eyiden. that far from having any Dten-
ton Of advancing this direction they retiring
fat as possible from vicinity, and we may sat y
cay that there II not now thousand armed Secession
lists within fteen, If not twenty, miles Of this point
Two days ago they retired from Bnnhers Hill, nne
niles below here 10 Winchester; and from there II is
currently rumortd they are falling back upon White
Post, a point twenty miles fom Winchester, in the
direction Of Manassas Junction.
Tee New-York 18th and 5tb, under Gen. Sanford,
arrived here yesterdty morning at O'Clock, having
marched g2 miles from Hagertown and forded the
Potomac at Wamsport since 3 o'clock of the after
noon before. We never saw men come in in better
condition, and their officers say that there is very little
sickness or disability in the force.
Last evening young man named Howard, who has
been representing himself Mr. Underhill, of The
Nesr- Yors Times, was arrested and placed in the
eusr-house a. was also Mr.. Samuel Rea, the agent Of
the Assocated Press. What the charges against them
are We cannot say They were arrested by orders from
headquarters.
Three officers and small company Of men from the
Rebels presented themselves yesterday with flag of
truce We understand that they citizens of this
town who had been bearing arms but have fond out
the error of their ways and have to give them
selves up.
The state of feeling between the Union troops and
those Of the citizens who lave avowed themselves Sc
cessioris.s is not at all hostile.
Gen. Patterson has taken especial pains that his
force shall appear and advance in the garb Of con-
ciatory and not conqueIing and devastating army,
and this unlocked for position is being crowned with
the most happy results
We have heard ayowed Rebels declare that when
they heard that the Union army approaching they
made up their MINDS, from the reports which had been
iudustliousy circulated among them that burn, kill
and destroy were to be the watchwords and 10 their
surprise they find themselves visited by an army Of
gentlemen who make every effort TO accommodate the
highest and lowest in their rights and III the pursuit Of
their usual occupations.
The Adams Express Company has been opened, and
temporary postal route has been established to Viii
Transport.
We have no belief in a movement from here for some
days.
MARrIEsBuRG, July IL, 1861.
In old saying is, " If you want Lews, 30 away
from hoIne" We have 40 idea here Of the trench
dous movements according to the reporters) that we
are now making. They appear to amount 10 very lit
tie, for Maor-Genora Patterson has sone 80 Oc0 men
under his nand and he likes them to well TO risk
an engagement that will not prove him victorious.
Col Stones brigade is all in encsmpmeut. They
suffer from not having tents The order was to march
light and rapidly, 70 the advance did no, bring any
tents foand last night Col Patterson IA son Of the
General encamped in the open field, and the 9th
New-iork just st tbe foot CT the bill below them.
They also had no tents.
Our Pennsylvania boys are bound for three years
The more the men and officers Ininee smoDg one
another the more they like another. TGo Wiscon.
sn lst ih Coanoc,icut ard llth Pennsylvania 70 med
one brigade They cannot do too much for one
another. The 9th Connecticut being detached from the
brigade TO guard Hsgento,yn, did not like IT, AS the
4th Connecticut for three yes, is likely they will
advance and JOIN the brigade.
Henry Fisher and q teamsier were arrested to-day
for breaking into u house last evening, beating an
elderly lady ani Tightening her daughter Mss Mary
Kane TO death. She found dead after the disturb
ance. Gen. Patterson has taken the affair in hand,
and will make thorough investigation Of the matter
The men Il guilty will be either hung or shot.
No alarm Last night; everything unusually quiet
There need be no fears Of this column, for its
weysneois viii be certain and to the point. The men
