! cen be no doubt that he will move at once
into the interior Of Pennsylvania, endeayor-
| Ing to do so before Couch Gun organize for
defense: ...
The Hauld's Washington dispatch says:
! From rebel sources the following is learned.
I do not know what value may be attached to
| It. It comports, however, with what sympa-
tlizera hero have mys:eriously whispered,
from time to time, for week past: Lees
army, numbering $1,000 men, hns been divt-
dcd into three parts. Mol started ak days
ago, from Gordonsyi1le, for Parkersburg, Va
No. 9 left Cu1peppcr Court. House, to pro-
coed by way OF Grafton, to Wheeling
and Pittsburgh, With instructions, after occu-
pying the latter, to unite with No. l, to pro-
ceea through Ohio into Kentucky. No. was
to proceed, by way Of Winchester and Har-
per's Ferry, into Maryland aud Pennsylvania,
towards Harrisburg or Baltimore, with view
to make q diversion to occupy the attention
Of the Federal army OF tho East. Thls :laat
division Of the rebel army is composed very
largely Of caya1ry md mounted artillery.
Richmond Is, for the present, abandoned,
with tho expectation that con:cripts and new
1cvies will be brought there In sufficient num-
Icrs to garrison the dofenses. 1t is expected
that torce OF from Il, 600 to 3o, ,oo3 rebel sym
rathizc1s, will be In readiness, In Maryland,
to cooperate with tho Sd division: .- :
It was also stuffed, and Fery generally be-
licyed here, that Brngg had Joined Lee, and
that the rebel army moving In this direction
amounted to 10000 men. To corroborate
this, Union officers here from the southwest,
state that all the points Ia that part of the
cauutry lave been fortified with the highest
degree OF art, and to such m extent, that there
VAS nothing moro LETT to be done, and that
instead Of sending 1elnforccments to their
garrisons in tho southwest, they have actually
been sending ren:orcemeats from the West
ern armies TO Lee, with view of offensive
operations. =.
a dispatel, to the Uer1'd, dated Headquar-
ters Army Of the Potomac, June Is, says: ~
The whole country south Of the Occoqunn
Is left tothe enemy. It is reported .thst the
rebel cavalry arc Ut Chambersburg, aud that
the enemy has appeared at Brooks Station,
tlyo miles from Aqua. The rebels will uu-
doubtedly follow us closely, though IN en-.
gegement with the pursuing forces Is not ~.
ticlpated. II would probably be improper to
state where our next line Of defense will he
established, although the enemy will doubt. |
leos know bctoto the. publication Of this; l.t-
ter. But Hooker is fastening with his entire
army to the defense Of Washington, and viii
occupy D position best adapted to dctcat the
plans Of Lee. -,. s..: -.
To day all is quiet, and whether Lee will
attack us or attempt another experiment In
Msp land, remains to be- determined. III
faw hours nc shall be ready Tor him, aud the
fate Of the rebel army Of: Northern Virginia
may be decided In MS. many days. Lee un-
d''ubted]S has an INN ense force between
Warrenton and Culpepper, and those: left at
Fredericksburg, numbering nearly twenty
thousand, will probably ba added to that ar.
my es soon q. possible. The public my be
prepared for another grand struggle near
Washington, or gigantic tizzle. =, -.
The Herahrs Washington dispatch says:
The march from Falmouth to the present |
position If the army was q severe one. Many
Of the soldiers fafnted from the effects Of the |
heat, and males and horses gayc out In the |
Third Army Corps alone about 20 of the |
men died bJ the why, from aunstfoke. A
cavalry force was left behind to take care Of !
and bring In those who we're exhausted: The !
creeks aud rivulcts, and even the springs on |
the road. we're nearly dry. and afforded no
relief :. ''..
: Quite large number Of army officers lett
towu to-day for the North, to aid in oryaniz-

Persons report hearing cannonadins in the |
direction Of Centreyille, at early dawn today:
1t is stated that Il General Mcclellan should |
be authorized to iasuo q call for volunteers to
rcpel the invasion Of the border free States,
oil the soldiers recently mustered out Of the
service, to man, would undoubtedly respond
to 1t, and large army OF veteEans would thus
be suddenly lnproT1sed. 4 committee from
Harrisburg wnlted on,thc PRESIDENT to.niyht
TO urge the adoption Of This COURSE.
