Rebels Advancing on Harrisburg.
HARRIsBURG. June "a

- HARRISBURG, June "a,
The city has been in high, state Of
excitement. All news from the mp valley
shows the rebels rapidly advancing in this
direction in strong force. No troops will
be likely to venture so far from their base
Of operations into an enemy's country with
out . force sufficient to act on the offensive.
So far no opposition has been made to their
movements. The rebels are now twelve
miles from Carlisle, advancing. General
Knipes, commanding the forces in the val.
ley, will probably give them battle at that
point. The rebels no doubt will appear in
in front of that point tomorrow. Our
cavalry, who fell back as the enemy ad.
vanced, had been unable to discover any
infantry as yet but there is no doubt q
strong force within supporting distance.
The enemy's column is within twenty
Eve miles of Harrisburg. It halted eight
miles the other side of Carlisle. The au.
thorities are in telegraphic communication
with Garrison's Station, two miles from
the rebel pickets. Their line tonight is
very strong. The result Of tomorrow is
looked forward to with much anxiety. A
battle must be unayoidably fought q. the
place evacuated before tomorrow night.
Everything is quiet in the neighborhood Of
Gettysburg and Hanover junction. -.

THE NEWS.

q Stirring news from the East has reached us
by the last mail. One of the most essential
items is the removal Of Gen Hooker, who is
superseded by Gen. George G. Meade. Carlisle
has been captured by the enemy, and they are
now advancing on Harrisburg Picket skirm-
ishing has already taken place before that
city, and 10000 of its citizens have raj
lied to meet the rebels. The greatest excite
nept exists throughout Pennsylvania, and all
business is being suspended, and preparations
made for defense. 1t is Lees declared inten-
tion to make that State the future seat of war.
The siege at ,Vicksburg is still progressing.
Grant has driven back the rebels in an attempt
ed sortie from their works, and repulsed john
ston. who endeayored to cross the Big Black.
g From the Army of the Cumberland we have
news that Rosecrans is pushing ahead. Several
tights wereihad on the '24th ult: near Murfrees-
boro, resulting in the, complete discontinue Of

been reports Published of arson and murder
by these rebels, but I have yet to hear of
thesloss Of a single life or bailding at their
hands in. this raid. Laboring under the
supposition that they were coming among
people, the majority of whom sympathized
with them, they evidently did all in their
power, first, to move in as secret q manner
as possible; second, to conciliate as far as
possible. FOR instance: meeting with a
couple of gentleman and the same number.
of ladies in . wagon, couple of miles
south of Pilot Knob, each of the sixty.four
made his polite salute to the ladies and
passed silently on, the only words spoken
being an offer to exchange horses, which,
was declined. They said nothing and did
nothing 70 show their character or inten.
tons, and the parties in the wagon, meeting
these silent and orderly troopers beneath the
shadows of an Indiana forest, would never
have suspected them Of being any but
friendly forces, had not one of them, an
East Tennesseean, who has suffered much
at their hands, recognized their uniform.
Driving rapidly to Leavehworth, he gave
the first general alarm, and couriers] were
dispatched all over the country, to raise the
people-with what success, we have seen.
It is supposed that the marauders had in

uprising, however, and the non-sppearance
of that sympathy which theyshad looked
for, convinced item that this would be
going too far for their own safety, and they
contented themselves with attempting to

things considered this may be set dovueas
the most dashing raid of the war on the
part of the rebels, and the most sigualIy
unsuccessful. - - u 81 ~, s.ttiaoi.@
