4 Washington dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Press, dated evening of the 18th,
states tina; the 9th army corps, who have
been lying at Frederlcksbu for some
time past, re-crossed the river on Monday
last.
No sooner had they left their quarters
than the rebels were at their heels.
Fortunately the crossing had been al
most completed, and the balance were en-
abled to reach this side without much
loss.
1t is estimated that the move cost our
army about 30 or 40 killed, and about
double that number wounded.
The 9th corps being across, the entire
army commenced to move, tor it was soon
ascertalued that Gen, Lee had crossed up
the river, at Rappshannock Station.
A few days previous Lees army was
reinforced to the extent Of about $4,000
men.
Lee Immediately moved il the direction
of Warrenton.
Hooker prepared to follow, and the OPP
posing forces have changed their bases,
and battle is unavoidable.
1t viii probably occar IN the vicinity
of Bull Run.
Falmouth is deserted.
About 5000 sick aud wounded arrived
to-day on foot and in anbulances.
The boats have been pIviAg to and frc
from Washington to Aqua Greek during
the entire day, and before the sun is down
all the disabled will have been safely pro-
vided with comfortable lodgings in anC
around Washington.
From Aqua Creek to Stoneman's Sta
ton the railway is in running order. bu
all the portion below the Potomac bridge
was completely torn up Saturday after
noon. The iron has been hauled safely
this way.
The bridge which spans the river about
two miles below is taken down and The
lumber secured.

A letter in the Know ,n Of Gov

Pettus and General Johnston urging w.;
people of Mississippi to rise en- masse ana
take up arms will add but little strength
to the southern armies. A few counties
will respond nobly to the call for volun-
teers, but from all indications it will be
found impossible to arouse the population
generally.
The Mississippians, in many instances,
deem Vicksburg already lost.
The Chattanooga Rebel of the 18th has
an account of matters near Vicksburg,
derived from gentleman who lately came
from central Mississippi. 1t says
1t has been generally known that Gen
eral Johnston's army had concentrated at
jackson with but little artillery, means of
transportation, and commissary supplies.
We have the strongest assurances, howev-

piled,
Johnston has his right resting on the
Yazoo river, near iazoo City, and his left

The people of Baltimore feel that the

our people to rally at once to repulse the

IcE.-Icc was selling yesterday ut the enor-
nous price of SIC per bushel. When the ice
season commenced the commodity only brought
four dollars. In twesweeks it rose to fire dol
lars, and so on until it has gone up to the pres
eut price. Thisis matter of pure speculation:
and while the ostensiblc reason is scarcity of
the article, the true reason is a desire to
play on the necessities of the people in this
the hottest month in the year. When the
weather is cool, ice is cheap. When it is
warm, and people are suffering for the want Of
it. it is run up to sixteen dollars bushel, and
