Tire War in Pennsylvania.

New YORK, June 80.
A special to the n. Y. Times, from Harris
burg last night, says:
Throughout the day our forces have held
a position beyond the Harrisburg fortifica-
tons, IN anticipation of the enemy's advance.
The rebels have not showed an inclination to
maze an attack. This morning few shells
were exchanged between the rebels and our
pickets The opinion is gaining credence that
the rebels are maneuvering to take Harris
burg by a flank movement. There is a re-
port that they have pontoon train twelve
miles this side of Columbia This, however,
is somewhat doubtful
"a gentlemen just escaped from the rebel
lines at Chambersburg reports rebel column
moving eastward, to the number of 81 600,
accompanied by 104 pieces of artillery. Gen.
dee and his staff officers were in Chambers
burg last Saturday.
''Ihirty-three prisoners captured at Mt
Union were brought into town this morning
Gen. Stahl has been appointed to the com
mand OF thecavalry forces in this Department.
Another order has been issued by the reb-
ell General Ewell, dated June 22d, relative to
restrictions enjoined upon his army and the
citizens of the country through which the
rebels pass. He urges that ready acquies-
cence with the demands of the military au-
thorities will serve greatly to lesson the rigors
of war.
ut was confidently believed this morning
that the enemy would commence an attack
to-day, In all probability tomorrow or next
day will develop his intended movement. =
Possibly, Lee may contemplate the capture of
Baltimore, and consider Harrisburg of second-
airy importance.
PHILADELPHIA. June 80.

Until late hour in thenight, the streets were
crowded with an excited populace, eagerly
inquiring for news, and enlisting in the de

and most of the workshops of the city, bust

at an early hour, to allow the men to drill
