AFFAIRS IN PENNSYLVANIA.

HARRISBURG, June 30.-A citizen of
Carlisle, who left there at l 1 o'clock to-
day, arrived here this afternoon. He
states that infantry, 1000 strong, with 40
pieces of artillery, left this morning for
Gettysburg. On his way he met nothing
but cavalry pickets. During his stay the
rebels occupied the barracks and grounds
and the most prominent buildings that
were vacant. The citizens were compell-
ed to furnish rations as far as they could.
During yesterday the rebel officers ap-
peared uneasy for fear their trains would
be destroyed which were in the rear.
One hundred prisoners arrived at Car
Isle which the rebels captured at Gettys-
burg They were robbed of boots, shoes,
and all their valuables, after which they
were left to go home barefooted.
The rebel officers stated that they dia
not design to burn the barracks as they
were intended to return, but at s. p. NJ
loud explosion occurred in that direc.
ton and it is believed they were blown
up. 81,
Private property is generally respected
but she and drug stores we're cleaned out
Some paid for goods in greenbacks and a
Jew in gold and silver.
1t is believed the main body of the
army is in the neighborhood of Shippens-
burg They all stated that their desti-
nation was Harrisburg, but that it was
probable they might be obliged to fight
the army of the Potomac before accom-
plishlng their object.
Ii our army should be defeated we have
no hope except in large armies to he
raised in tic North. No efforts should
be spared to hurry forward large military
organizations eYerYwhere.

THE TWO CAPITALS.

Gen. Lee is now manoeuvring against
Washington with an army a hundred
thousand strong General Dix is under
stood to be lnanoeuvring against Rich
mond with force of twenty thousand
men. The army opposing Gen. Lee un-
doubtedly bears larger proportion to his
than the rebel army holding Richmond
bears to that menacing it. Both capitals
are held to be impregnabie. The rebels
have made levy en- n1asse Of the popula-
ton for the crisis; the North is calling
out an immense body Of militia for the
emergency. 1t looks as if the struggle
now opened must have a termination
which may at last fairly be called dccis-
