Matters here remain very much IN stain qno. We
learn Of no movements Of Importance either mp or
down the river although it is reported that in tho
neiQhborhood6 Wamsport our troops are fully
rrepared to ress, any attempt of the enemy 10 re-
cross at that point and it is known that we have a
strong footing at Harpers Ferry, with forces occu-
pyirg Maryla land. London and Bolivar flights, aud a
new poptcon bridge has been completed to replace
the one destroyed by the enemy.
TIE Pennsylvania Militia who responded so nobly
10 the call Of Gov Curtin for the defense Of the bor-
der and who crossed the line in force to assist in re-
pellpg the ragged crew who had announced their in-
,ention of invading the Quaker State, have all been
recalled, ard have ere this, reached their peaceful
homes. In the hotels at Harrisburg sees pacaris
on the walls Offering boun,es to the returned vo!nn
eers if they will enlist in companies forming to fill
IN the old regiments. Doubtless many Of them took
advantage Of the tempting offers, all Of them have
now left HagerstowD.

train OF wounded men on their way 10 pleasant
quarters at Chambersburg and Harrisburg. There
were many car loads, and ia the rear OF the tram
was sad collection Of L" stretchers," on which
many more patient sufferers lay awaiting their turn
to be placed in tie jarrng jolng cars that were to
convey them 10 hospital.
Every train from Harrisburg conveys volunteer
surgeons and nurses hurryDg 10 the temporary hos

were many more. All sorts Of vehicles were here

and bars when the Rebels were in t0wn-to convey

or anywhere snort OF there and return, for dollar
each WAY. As many omuibuses that usually take
twelve inside now carried twenty live, inside and
out, tie probability is that the livery and staging
business in that "burgh' hss I" revived"
The Rebels when in town pretty much stripped
