70 THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY.
THE REBEL INCLUSION


There is no excitementin the city. Yester-
day four hundred cavalry, belonging to Col.
| Pierce's command, late Milroy'S, had a fight
with Imbodcn's cavalry, at McConnellsburg,
defeating them and driving them through the
town. The rebels had three killed. On our
side two men were wounded. We took thirty
three prisoners.
The rebel division of Gen. Early left for
York this morning, taking the road to Car
Isle. Gen Lee is now concentrating his army
in the valley between Shippensburg and
Chambersburg, evidently anticipating an at
tack from the army of the Potomac. General
EwelPs rebel corps is still in front Of Harris
burg, and may commence the attack at any
time.
All is quiet. The rebels have retreated be-
yond Carlisle.
HARRISBURG, June 30.-A citizen Of Car
lisle who left there at eleven o'clock to-day
arrived this afternoon. He says all the in
fantry, 5000 strong, with 40 pieces OF artillery,
left this morning for Gettysburg. On his way
he met nothing but cavalry pickets. During
their stay the rebels occupied the barracks
and grounds and most prominent buildings
which were vacant The citizens were com
PEELED to furnish rations so far as their means
would permit. During yesterday the rebel
officers appeared uneasy tor fear that the
trains would be destroyed, which were in the
| rear.
Yesterday there arrived at Carlisle one
hundred prisoners, which the rebels captured
at Gettysburg. These were robbed OF their
boots, shoes, and all vauableS, after which
they were left to go home bare footed as best
they could. The rebel officers stated that
they did not intend to burn the barracks, as
. | thpV intended tn but a fbrpn nflnrl-
in the afternoon a loud explosion was heard
in that direction, and it is believed that they
were blown up. Private property was gener-
| ally respected, but shoe and drug stores were
cleaned out Some paid for goods in green
backs, and few in gold and silver. 1t is be-
lieved that the main body of the rebel army is
in the neighborhood of Shippensburg They
all stated that their destination was Harris
burg, but they thought 1t probable that they
might have to fight the army Of the Potomac
before accomplishing that result.
The danger to Pennsylvania and the north
Is still imminent, everything depending upon
the encounter between Lee and Meade. If
our army should be defeated, we have no hope
except IN large armies to be raised i'll the
north. No effort should be spared to hurry
forward large military organizations every
where
Gen. Nagee, tonight, stating that the follow
ing regiments, having received the consent of
the war department, tender their services for
the defence of Pennsylvania SO long as there
is an armed rebel this side of the Potomac,
viz the l56th, 16Sth, Hist, and 175th regi-
mentS from Pennsylvania, and the Sth, 10th,
| and DIST regiments from Massachusetts.
| They have been accepted.
1t is reported that Gen Pleasanton and our
| forces are in the vicinity of Gettysburg, and
have captured rebel train four miles Iona.
BALTIMORE, June 30.-The following def
force Which Pd Estiiy tt to the rebel cavalry
Point of Rocks on Saturday night, has been
| received by the American, in a letter from
Methodist clergyman at Brooks Vile, Md.
The rebels came in there on Sunday evening
about six O'Clock. Gen. Stuart was with them
and took possession of the reverend gentle
mans house. The rebels had with them cap
tured wagons, prisoners, contrabands and
mules, besides other plumber. On Monday
morning the rebels left, going northward as is
| learned from another source. The reverend
| gentleman says he found five federal prison.
ers, officers, at breakfast; among them Mai.
| Doane and Captain Mickling, of the United
States engineers. This was doubtless the
| same rebel force which struck the Baltimore
| and Ohio railroad yesterday morning. 1t is
equally, certain that it is the same rebel force
| which passed northwest of this city last eve
| ming, in the direction of Westminster, doubt
| less aiming to reach their force at York and
| Gettysburg, which gave rise to the alarm last
night.
| The American this morning publishes the
following paragraph A portion of the first
Delaware cavalry regiment; which were sta
toned at Westminster, twenty-eight miles
from the city, were attacked yesterday by
rebel cavalry, and running fight ensued, in
which our cavalry were chased to within sew
en- miles of the city, but few of the detach.
ment reporting at headquarters later in the
evening.
1t was reported that considerable force
of rebel cavalry were advancing toward the
city on Reister's Town road, The preconcert-
ed signal was given, and the members of the
Union League promptly assembled at their
different headquarters, received their arms and
marched to the barbados. The promptness
with which the call was answered was hig "
credititable to their patriotism and courage.
The American also says 1--WE are gratitied
to be able to announce that the army of the
Potomac is in rapid and successful motion I'M
der its new commander, Maj. Gen Meade.
The character of this movement is such as will
satisfy the country of the yigor, skill, and
SOOu VI liS UeN COMMANDER. we
feel that we ought not to explain this grand
movement, but assure our readers that it will
give great satisfaction"
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad was re-
paired last night. The bridge over Penerv
Run has been restored, and the train which
left this morning for Frederick and Harper's
Ferry has gone through without int Eruption
The telegraph was repaired half an hour after
the rebels disappeared, and in a few hours the
bridge track was raised and the rails replaced.
The rebel cavalry which yesterday attacked
a company OF the lst Delaware at Westmin-
ster, and drove them towards this city, was
doubtless the advance guard of Fitzhugh
Lees cavalry, leading the way across the
country, through Baltimore county, to enable
them to join the main rebel army in the vicin-
lty OF York and Gettysburg. They had found
that longer delay on the line of the Baltimore
and Frederick turnpike and railroad would
not be safe in view of the movement of Gen.
Meade, and were making rapid march across
the country.
1t is supposed by many that the alarm Civ
en- last night of the approach of an enemy
towards the city in considerable force, was
merely ruse to test the earnestness of our
citizens in behalf of vigorous defence. This
however was not the case. Signal pickets
twenty miles out, announced the movement
in the neighborhocd of Westminster, of
large cavalry force of the enemy. This was
undoubtedly Fitz Hugh Lees cavalry, which
crossed the Potomac on Sunday morning,
and occupied the line of the Baltimore and
