RECONNAISSANCE IN FORCE
Hardly had the head Of the Rebel company passed
ont of eight till an orderly was started gall0ping
back 10 our rear. Port Royal y erman's dyhon
had been waiting just ont of sight till the flag OF
truce should leave TO enter upon its reconnaissance
Within ten minutes the lie OF battle OF natlonai
division had swept past where Col Thompson had
been standing, and in twenty their pickets had
been driven in, and our lines swept on through tue
woods and up very close 10 hills that were sad to
perfectly command Corinth. Col. Bob McCook,
looking out for p road 10 lead his brigade by, went
plump into Rebel camp that had evidently been
hastily deserted but very short time before, and
with lis usual way Of losing no chances he managed
20 snatch up fine Rebel saddle, which he threw
over Lis horses neck be came galoping back, to
give his orders to advance.
Meantime, Gen. A. Med. McCooks Brigade was
out, ust to the left OF shernan's. The two swept
up for mile or two inside the Rebel lines; the pc
sition Of the woods and the nature of the ground
asceriaiued, and it supposed by all that the

were strewn over the floor, a barmonium j be-
eve that s the name of the abomnatle invention
was abandoned, and some bureaus contained papers

hurried TO take.
A few hundred yards toward our left, on the
Pennington road, little squad Of orr cavalry were
advanced into tie edge Of some open fields On the
opposite side, say 500 yards away, company OF

bore up to carry the distance, and fell harmless
among the horses feet. Down 10 the extreme night
there was a little sharp picket firing and the left
occasional shot, but in the main the enemy offered
no resistance whatever.
Very much 10 eveTybody's surprise, our troops
were gradually ordered back 10 their old camps
again, and through the afternoon The whole ground
was abandoned. Last night, il is said the Rebels
came back and reoccupiod il with infantry.

crowded with officers and men anxious for service.
The members OF the various militia regiments of the

graphic dispatches were sent to the newspapers
throughout the State, and, as on that memorable
April morning of l776, and the no less memorable
one of April, 1861, the church bells were ruug and
the people called to arms. Prompt responses were

Gov Andrew was this morning waited upon by q
committee from the students Of Harvard College,
who stated that they were delegated to offer the
services Of full company of young men from that
institution to aid in the defense Of the country in
the present emergency.
His Excellency replied that although he was re-
luctan to take the responsibility Of advising young
rnen. many of whom were remote from their pa
rents and friends, yet he would say that with the
appreciation OF the acting President Of the College
and the Faculty, he would gladly receive such vol

Francis L. Lee, if they would report tomorrow at
