The latest intelligence last night from Wes-
tern Maryland reported all quiet at Frederick
and MARYLAND Heights There is now said to
be no doubt Of the larger portion OF Gen. Lee S
army being in Western Maryland, west Of the
South Mountain range. The movements OF
Gen. Uookers army, which have been very
active for several days past, are not to be
made public at this time. 4 severe contest
between the contending forces may, however,
be shortly looked for.
4 dispatch from Cincinnati gives it as the
opinion Of military men that a series of
desperate invasions Of Kentucky by Confede-
rates may be expected during July, August
and September, and various reasons are as
signed therefor.
The Richmond papers of the 23d intimate
that the object Of Gen. Lees movement is to
attack Washington, It is also stated in one of
The Richmond papers that large Federal
force was landed at some point on York River.

FROM PGNNSILVA

The news received from Pennsylvania is I'M
portant. It appears that General knipe,
commanding the Federal troops at Carlisle,
not deeming his forces strong enough, evacu-
ated the town on Thursday night to Harris
burg, distance of eighteen miles Gen. X
reports the Confederate advance column at ten
thousand strong Carlisle is reported to be
occupied by the Confederates. Gettysburg
was occupied yesterday by Early's division Of
Longstreet corps. The number Of Confeder-
ates at Chambersburg is req orted to be $4,000
men, with five batteries, and large number
Of wagons and ambulances. In addition to
this force, Johnson's division was reported to
be within six miles Of the town.
The Harrisburg Telegraph Of yesterday thus
describes the condition Of affairs in that vicini-
ty on Thursday:
The excitement, apart from the movement
Of troops, was that which attended the ingress
and egress of people who came from the
Cumberland side of the river, and who passed
through the city, hurrying to a place Of safety
with all that was dear and valuable to them.
Every machine on wheels capable OF hauling
load was brought into requisition. These
came wheeling and trundling along, each laden
to the top--some with grain, household effects
and household gods-others with store goods,
machinery, tools, and, in fact, all that was
valuable and movable. Following these came
other vehicles, filed with women and children
then came men and boys mounted on horses
driving before them COWS and sheep. The
scene was at once exciting and pitlful. 1t
came to us as the first hot breath Of war.
Yesterday morning the steamer Satellite ar
rived at the Washington Navy-yard; having in
tow the schr. r. Walker, which was brought
up as a prize The schr. was discovered on
Wednesday by the Satellite, and the schr. ".
Ellis, which was burned in the bay, below
Smith Point Light The Walker was in a
sinking condition when discovered and the
crews of the two vessels, after working along
side of her for eight hours, succeeded IN right
ing her and bringing her up. She appears to
have been run into and was abandoned. The
cargo is covered with water, and it is not
known Of what it consists. From the log book
which was found in the captains chest, it ap-
pears that she was from Philadelphia tor Mat
amoras, Mexico The Satellite brought up
TWO refugees, VIM. Il. Morrell, OF King
George county, and Robert Tiznor, Of West

THE SIEGE OF VICkSBURG.

!. MEMPHIS, June %, via CAIRO, June %
Official intelligence from Grant army to the
10th has been received Johnston is said to
have withdrawn his forces from across the Big
Black, moving towards Clinton.
About a thousand Texans attacked Lake
Providence on the 10th but were repulsed with
loss BY the negro troops who fought brayely.
Colonel Phillips with eight hundred cavalry,
was attaked by two hundred Cofaderate infan-
try and one thousand cavalry under Rockerford
on the Tallahatchie The fight was severe.
Phillips lost seven killed and ninety wounded
He cut his way out and came in yesterday.
The Cofederates are in force at Boonville,
Generals Roddy, Rugges, Chalmers, and Bif
Rers, threaten the lines and troops are report
ed moving north from Okolona. Stirring news
may be expected from this section.
The Baltimore American says:-"All the
turnpike roads leading to the city are now not
only thoroughly guarded, but pretty we'll bar
the town by the Confederates. In consequence
Of these preparations, and the peculiar state Of
affairs which now exists, it has been deemed
wise and prudent to per nit no citizens to leave
the place without first securing passes. >
The n Y. Times says, that when the New
Jersey troops reached P2., they We. refused ac-
ceptance unless they would be sworn into the
u. S. service for six months, under the Presi~
dents proclamation The Governor Of Penn,
moreover instructed his transpo rtation agents
at Philadelphia to forward no troops to Har~
risburg who would not enter the y. S. service
under the six months call This was not
what the New Jersey troops had offered to do,
nor what Gov. Parker had called on them to do
nor what he had any authority by State law
to require them to do. And, therefore, he or
dered them home, the entire expense Of his
volunteer services, it seems, falling on the
State of N. Jersey.
The New Orleans papers contain no news
from Port Hudson The Bank Of Louisiana
and the Louisiana State Bank have been re-
quired to go into liquidation, under three
commissioners each. Their condition is said
to be satisfactory. The receipts of sugar from
the interior have been partly suspended, ow-
ing to the heavy duties imposed. A large
mass meeting of Union citizens was held in n.
Orleans on the 18th inst.
Gen. Butler, arrived in Washington yester-
day evening, and is stopping at Wizards. It
is rumored that the object of his visit is to
look after his interests in the question Of SEMI
ority between himself and General Fremont,
now pending before military commission.

INCIDENTS OF THE DRAFT.

Tn Philadelphia, Massachusetts, Cen
trail New York, and, indeed, almost eve
rywhere but in that nest Of traitors, New
York city, the draft has proceeded quiet
ly, and in some localities it has caused
more smiles than tears. We find large
number of anecdotes respecting its ope-
rations in our Eastern Exchanges, from
which the following are extracted:
The Boston Traveller is informed that
Mr.. Stanton says he had rather have the
$500 commutation money than a raw re.
cruit, for he has large numbers Of vete-
rams offering to re-enlist for this sum.
The first drafted man in the Fourth Mas.
sachusetts district, Boston, who has moi
claimed exemption or furnished a substi.
tute, passed the examining physicians
Friday. The name Of this patriot is Ma
thaniel Burbank, printer from the office
OF the American Union. He looked up.
on the draft from a patriotic standpoint
as call to the service of bis country, and
has responded like true man. The en-
rolling board gave him three cheers wher
he passed. i
The Journal says that most Of the ex'
emptions in Boston are for alie6age. l
they were for physical disability on'
