FROM MEMPHIS,

MEMPHIS, June ~.
Colonel Cornen, of the 10th Missouri
cavalry, has succeeded in scattering sever
al rebel camps where they were gathering
cattle for Brsgg's army, detroying large
quantities Of forage and bringing in cat
tie. He reports the rebels making vigOr-
GUS efforts to gather large mounted force
north of the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road. They are oOnscripting everybody
and numbers that have taken the oath,
have Joined robber bands.
General Dodge's men who were with
Colonel Straight have escaped and reached
Corinth. They report that Straight aban-
doned and destroyed his artillery before
he was captured by Forrest and inflicted
much greater damage than rebels ac-
knowledge.
Detachments of the 1st Missouri, and
5th Ohio cavalry, four hundred strong,
under Major Henry, Of the 9th Ohio, on a
reconnaissance, were surrounded near Her
nando, Mississippi, the night of the 18th,
by John Chalmers, with 1000 rebels. They
we're routed and most Of them captured or
killed. Major Henry captured 1900 of
them and retreated.
The enemy are moving along our whole
line from Memphis to COrinth, cutting the
| telegraph and damaging the railroad.

NEW York, June 22d.
The details Of the battle at Winchester
show that Milroy had 1000 men. The
18th Connecticut and 9th Maryland were
captured almost entire. The former was
over 300 strong, of whom only thirty-three
are all it can now muster. We lost three
full batteries of field artillery, all the siege
guns on the Star fort and the main fort,
5000 muskets and 280 wagons, sc. Of
the 1000 engaged 800 have reached Ma
ryland Heights and probably three or four
hundred escaped to Hancock and Cumber-
land, Maryland. -i
Since the dates containing the foregoing
one thousand seven hundred Of Milroy's
command arrived at Bloody Run, Pennsyl-
vanis, and to-day we hear Of the safety of
four hundred more.
Special dispatches to the Philadelphia
Enquirer report the rebels advancing on
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, with 40, 600
men and eighteen pieces Of artillery. A
large rebel force is also approaching Lon
don telegraph station from the direction Of
Mereersburg, evidently reconnoitering. A
scout reports the rebel artillery planted
on the Tunkstown plank road, near Hs-
gerstoWn.

SAN FRANCISCO, June II.
Dates from the city of Mexico, Via Aca-
puleo, are to the 24th ult.
Ali the French residents have been COM
pelled to leave the city.
General Juarez had taken command Of
the Mexican troops. The Mexican fort
fications were been strengthened, and
it was believed the Government would flood
the valley on the approach Of the French,
and make desperate resistance.
All the available Mexican troops are
being drawn in toward the Capital
General ComonfOrt is much eensured for
not relieving Puebla, and, in consequence,
has resigned.
The French advance had arrived at San
Martin Les Muliesn.
General Forey had ordered the captured
Mexican Generals to be sent TO France,
and the other officers to Martinique. Three
thousand Mexican prisoners the General
had put to work on the railroad leading
towards Vera Cruz, and two thousand he

Brigadier General S. Williams:
I moved with my command this morn
ing to Middleburg and attacked the cav
airy force of the rebels under Stuart and
steadily drove him all day, inhicting
heavy loss at every step.
We took two pieces of artillery, one be-
ing Blakely Gun, together with three
cassions, besides blowing one up. We also
captured sixty prisoners and more are
coming in, including Heutenant-colonel,
major and FIVE other officers, besides a
wounded colonel end a large number of
wounded rebels left in the town Of Upper
vile. They left their dead and wounded
on the field. OF the former 1 saw upwards
of twenty. We also took large number
of carbines, pistols and sabres. Our loss
has been very small, both in men and
horses, and l never saw the troops behave
better or under more dlmouIt cIrcun-
stances. Very heavy charges were made
and the sabre was used freely, but always
with great advantage to us.

'SPECIAL BTSPATCHES.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Contradiction Of Ganards--No En-
gagement with Hooker
Catholics Forbidden to
Resist the Draft.
ITO the Cincinnati Gazette.]

WASHINGTON, June Il.
The transmission Of the following dis
patch from the headquarters Of the Army
Of the PotOmao to our Washington office,
has been authorized by the highest author
tiles in the field.
HEADQUARTERS, June 81.
For the purpose of cOntradieting all er-
roneOus reports and giving quiet to the
public mind, General Hooker authorizes
the following fact to be stated:
There has been no engagement what
ever,.up to this date, involving any pOr-
ton of General HOOker's army, except the
cavalry. Cavalry skirmishes, fights, and
reconnoissances are taking place daily;
with the advantage uniformly with our
force. Two hundred and fifty prisoners
have arrived at headquarters within the
last three days.
The alarm existing at the North during
the past few days is utterly without cause.
No enemy is in or near the old Bull Run
battlefield, and the panic-stricken report
of Hills rebel force being at Dumfries, is
equally false.
WASHINGTON, June q.
The Provost -Marshals are completing
the enrolment more rapidly than was an
ticipated, but it is not expected that any
considerable number of men will be in the
field before August.
AttOrney-General Bates has gone West
to recruit his health. Attorney
General Coffy acts in his place.
Adjutant-G General Thomas has returned
from the West in very feeble health, and
was able to make the trip at all only by
travelling by easy stages. He reports TWEEN
ty regiments of negro troops to be fully
organized and sixty rebel plantations
along the Mississippi put under cultiva-
ton again by cOntrabands. He was very
warmly welcomed to-day by the secreta-
ry of War.
In the Catholic churches of Washington,
a letter from the Bishop forbidding CathO-
lies TO resist the draft, was read to-day.

MOVEMENTS OF THE REBEL ARMY
Special to Evening Post:


WAsHIEGTOH, June %.
All the information which our cavalry
has been able to obtain confirms the pre-
vious impression that there is no rebel in
fantry this side of the Blue Ridge, though
they may occupy Ashby's snd Manassas
Gaps. General Pleasanton found none in
Snyder's Gap.
The rebel cavalry force still remains
near Middlebury.
Oar cavalry has been through Thorough
fare Gap, thus showing that neither Gen
eral Lee nor any of his forces are there, as
published.
Nothing has been seen of the enemy to-
wards Warrenton and beyond nor south Of
that place.
Our army is on the move and if the enc
my intends to give battle he can come oU-
of the Shenandoah valley and do so Whent
ever he pleases. General Hooker is pre-
pared. Everything is most favorable for
army operations.
We have unauthenticated reports that
the rebel army is retreating down the val
ley towards Culpepper.

Where once was a good Democratic Mar

be wondered that the jailor is unhappy,

lation of the Jail halls. Furthermore, we run
a station house here, over which the Repub-
lican Marshal presides, and the jail is looked
after by Sheriff Lewis, an excellent War
Democrat, and popular officer.

MR. EDiToR II have noticed In your
paper the controversy going on in regard to
the Street Railroad upon our street (the
Kinsman) and wish to say that and all the
folks are disposed to make few suggestions.
The road is very badly managed, or rather,
it is not managed at all. So far as the road
itself is concerned, it is positive benefit to
all the residents and property owners along
the route it runs and the adjacent streets;
that is, it might be made so, as other street
railroads are all over the land. The faults of
management in the road are so conspicuous
as to almost nullify the actual benefits, and
in many special instances, altogether too nu
merous to mention, to completely override
and annuI any good feelings that our people
would otherwise be disposed to give to it as
a public enterprise. The disgraeeful, dirty
looking cars, more like, as heard one say,
{" barns upon wheels, 4" with horses to match,
only, if possible, "more so" the drunken
drivers-Why, sir, We had hard work to get
one Of them up off the seat, and he kept kick
ing at us, which was the only sign Of life he
gave-the incompetent, cheap boys as con-
ductOrs y the lack Of all order and reg
ularity in the time of sanning-and, in fact,
the foolish, contemplate management of the
whole affair, has disgusted the whole street,
and all who are obliged to patronizs it. If
the man who manages it can get ten respec
table residents upon the street to endorse his
management, will withdraw all I have said
do11 oh II hr To
Mr.. Editor, for having opened this subject,
and I hope it will be taken into the Council
Of the City Fathers, who have control of the
streets, and there be dealt with according to
its deserts.
I do not regard the Sunday afternoon
German gathering as a matter of first com
plant on our part. The large numbers of
those persons crOwding to and fro over the
road on Sunday afternoons, need not incOm-
mode other necessary travel or aflict the
residents Of the street. They do not in other
places, where slipshod, half arranged, and
half managed street cars are not supposed to
exist. 1 understand the manager of the
road to be a man Of good legal ability, be
nevOlent and wise in many things, yet,
withal, has utterly mistaken bis vocation.
think It nothing more than right, Mr.. Ed
itOr, that he should be made aware Of his
responsibility to the public, and in such
way as to insure public convenienee and
safety. A street is not given up to any one
to be abused, and street car should be
pleasure car, one that any person, old ct
young, of either sex, can ride upon with sat
isfaction. Other roads are Of this class, and
why should not ours be?
If the manager will correct these evils,
know he will receive the thanks Of

THE PITTSBURGH FoRTIFIERs.=We clip
the following from the Pittsburgh Chronicle
of Saturday, which will give some idea of
theway our neighbor city is working =" The
number of men at work on tho Notifications
yesterday, as appears by the returns made to
the Committee of Safety, was six thousand
eight hundred and six. A still larger force
is employed to day, and if the weather but
holds good, an immense amount of work will
be accomplished before night. At meeting
of the Executive Committee last evening a
call was made on the merchants Of Liberty,
Wood, Market and Fifth streets, for two hun
dred men to work on the Notifications to-
day. We presume it was responded to,
though at the present writing we are without
any definite information on the subject. A
committee was appointed to collect and or
ganize the employees of the retail dealers Of
the two cities for work in the entrenchments
next week, and it was a second time resolved
that the construction of the works should be
continued until the whole were completed.
