Maryland Heights, June 20,

The Herald contains the following:
We were visited here yesterday by
Gen. Hooker, accompanied by Brig Gen.
Warren. The object of the visit was to
inquire into the propriety of evacuating
the Heights.
He sent for Col. Reynolds, our able
engineer, and asked what the object was
in holding the Heights. The Colonel re-
piled he had often asked the same ques-
ton, and never got satisfactory answer.
Hooker then issued an order that the
place should be evacuated by O'Clock
the next morning; that such guns as
could not be taken away should be des-
troyed, and the stores removed.
Immediately after he informed Gen.
Halleck of what he had done whereupon
be received q dispatch oountermanding
his order, aud saying that the forti 6ca.
tons had cest too much to be given up,
unless under the most urgent necessity ;
that he considered Harper's Ferry to be
the key to the present and future opera
lions of the Army of the Potomac.
Hooker's comment upon this was nat
ural enough " What is the use of hold.
ing on to the key after the door is smash.
ed ?"
While on his way back from here he
received an order from Washington re.
moving him from command and placing
Gen. Meade in his stead.

Paris papers announce that merchsn-

The steamer - which attracted sus-
picion and was searched on the belief that
she was intended for Southern cruiser,
was loading At Liverpool for Nashua and
was vigilantly watched.
The London Times, in an editorial on
the late peace meeting in New York. says
there is some reason for thinking the
civil war is reaching its close. but at the
same time admits it is very doubtful
question. 1t thinks Lincoln would not
object to peace if he knew how to reach
it. and the meeting may pave the way to
peace.
The Southern Financial Agent had re-
turned letters to the Times. He contends
the North has effected little or nothing
as yet, and the policy of exhaustion will
effect the North more than the South.
London, 2l.-Warlike rumors arising
out of the Polish question are again prev
alent in Paris. Several Russian papers
fully anticipate war with France.
Slidell, the envoy of the Confederate
States, had very long conference with
the French Emperor. The emperor sent
for him and a private tets-a-tete with him
at breakfast and did not part with him
until the Council Of Ministers had assem-
bled. This interview has given strength
to rumors that mediation in American
affairs is likely to be the result of the fall
Of Pucbla.

Harrisburg. June 80

A resident of Carlisle. who left there
at ii o'clock to-day, arrived here this
afternoon. He states infantry, 1000
strong. with 40 pieces OF artillery, left
this morning for Gettysburg. On his
way he met nothing bat cavalry pickets.
During his stay the rebels occupied the
barracks and grounds aud most promi-
nent buildings which we're vacant. Citi-
xens were compelled to furnish rations 80
far as their means would admit.
During yesterday the rebel officers APP
peared uneasy for fear their trains would
be destroyed, which were in the rear.
One thousand prisoners arrived at Car
lisle which the rebels captured at Geuys-
burg, and we're robbed of boots, shoes,
and all valuables after which they were
left to 60 home barefooted as best they
could. The rebel officers stated that they
did not design to burn the barracks. as
they intended to return but at P. NJ. a
a loud explosion occurred in that direc-
ton, and it is believed they we're blown
up. Private property was generally re
spected, but shoe and drug stores were
cleaned out. Some paid for goods in
green backs. and q few in. Confederate
scrip aud silver.
1t is believed the main body Of the
rebel army is in the neigbborhood Of Shep,
psnsburg. They all stated their destina.
tion was Harrisburg, bat thought it prob
able they might be compelled to 6gh, the
