BALTIBORE, June 80.
The American says the response of the
Union Leagues of this city last night TO
the csll.0f General sehenok for public de-
fense, was most prompt and enthusiastic.
Old apd young fDcked to the aFmories to
obtain arms, the supply not sufficient for
one half Of those presenting themselves.
We learn from citizens of Westminster,
who arrived here thii morning, that the

both on the main stem and Washington

Ihe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was
repaired last night, the hrldge. oyer Piney
Run restored, and the train which left this

has gone through without Interruption.
The telegraph was repaired in halfa hour
after the rebels had disappeared, aud in q
few hours the bridge track was laid and

The rebel cavalry, which yesterday at

out, announced a movement in the neigh

Citizens Of Carlisle, who left there at II
O'Clock to-day, arrived here this afternoon.
They slate that infantry, 1000 strong,
with forty pieces of artillery, left this
morning for Gettysburg On their way
they met nothing but cavalry pickets
During the stay Of the rebels they Occu-
pied the barracks and grounds and most
prominent baildihgs which were vaeant.
Citizens were compelled to furnish ratiOns
so far as their means would admit.
During yesterday the rebel officers ap-
peared uneasy for fear the trains would be
destroyed, which were in the rear.
100 prisoners arrived at Carlisle, cap
tured by the rebels at Gettysburg. They
were robbed Of boots, shoes and all valua-
| bles, after which they were left to 20 home
DareI0OTeu as DesJ Uney could.
The rebel officers said they did not in
! tend to burn the barracks, as they intend
ed to return, but at P, NJ loud explo-
sion occurred in that direction, and It is
believed they were blown up.
Private property geBeraily respected,
but shoe and drug stores we're cleaned out.
Some paid for goods in. greenbacks, and a
| few in gold and silver. -
It is believed the main body of the rebel
army is in the neighbOrhoOd Of Shippens-
burg. They all. stated their destination
was Harrisburg, but thought it probable
they might be compelled 10 fight the Army
of the Potomac before accomplishing its
object.
The danger to Pe1nsy1vania is
still imminent. Everything depends
upon the encounter between Meade and
Lee. If our army should be defeated we
have no hope except in large armies to be
raised in the North. &
No efforts should be spared to hurry for
ward large military organizations every
where. @
