Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribnnel
PHILADELPHIA, July 8. 1863.
Fling is still heard at Columbia, York and
Bainbridge, in the direction Of Gettysburg,
aud it is believed that battle is still raging
between Gen. Meade and the forces Of Lee
Pleasanton's cavalry is doing splendid service.
The cavalry, neglected By Mcclellan, were a
speciality Of Burnside and Hooker, and their
efforts to make 1t tell upon the enemy are
now apparent in the work accomplished with
In this week.
If Lee has not Jet been driven back, his
flank has ere this been turned by sedgevick,
who was yesterday afternoon moving In the
direction of Middletown and Herdseburg.
Tclesraphic communication between Harris
bu,g and Baltimore has been re.established,
Tic militia hare advanced from Harrisburg
to Emokytown, SIX miles beyond Carlisle,
while the army Of the Potomac, as telegraph
eli yesterday, were In communication with
tie Department Of the susquehanna The
railroad will be in operation between Balii-
more and York within a week.
Although Harrisburg is in suspense, set
10 danger is 10 be apprchended, as ifit had
bten Lees intention to take 1t, he could
hive done so By flank movement through
the gaps md fords above Harrisburg, last
week, thus rendering the Notifications USE
less on the opposite side of the Susquehanna.
Nothingyet is known here as to the result
Of the heavy firing last night and to-day. 1t
IL believed we have suffered heavy loss both
In officers and men, but Lee has been SO Grip
Piled MS to place himself On the defensive.
One Of Meade's couriers TO General Couch
WEE killed bya Dutch farmer yesterday, a
short distance beyond York.
Two citizens Of York have been arrested
within our lines as spies. The Copperheads
and peace men along the southern counties
Of tlestatc are doing NIL they can to aid the
rebels and mislead our officers md men.
They aid the rebels more than the MARYLAND.
