FREDERIC, MD, June 2O.-The enemy's
cavalry left Boonesboro last evening, after
capturing number of horses, and returned
to Ilagerstown. One regiment of infantry,
with battery, was in llagerstown Yesterday.
Six thousand infantry are reported to have
crossed at Wiliiamsport. II Is not believed
they will visit Frederick.
The enemy has nearly 5000 infantry this
side the Potomac, under Gen. Rhodes Two
regiments OF infantry and squadron of cav
airy, are at Sharpsburg, and the remainder
are encampcd between WllllamspOrt and Ha-
gerstown. No artillery has been sent over,
nor have any troops crossed since yesterday
morning Gen. Ewell has left Williamsport and
gone toward the main body Of his command, sta
toned at CharleStown. Lees army is not
known to be within supporting distance of
Ewell, and it is very probable that the force
in Maryland will not pc. citrate further north.
The cavalry force numbers about twelve hun
dred, under Jenkins. The party which first
advanced upon Greencastle and Chambers
burg numbered only SIX hundred and fifty.
HARRISBURG, June 2O.-The rebel force in
Hagerstown this morning was 1900 cavalry.
They have forces concentrated between Ha-
gerstown and Willlamsport. The report that
the rebels were within ten miles OF Y ork caused
a general stampede this morning. 1t proved
unfounded, ard order has been restored. A
spy, supposed to be rebel officer, was az
rested in fort opposite Harrisburg this
morning. From beyond Greencastle our
scouts report no signs of the enemy There
are between fifty and sixty comDanies of
Pennsylvania militia here, and everything is
more cheerful The 23d New Jersey returned
home to-day, dissatisfied with their reception.
1t is understood they were treated to the yilest
language from copperheads
Operations were commenced on our side
to-day by portion of a New York cav
airy regiment capturing twenty rebels at Mo
Connellsburg. In Fulton county, Col. Law
renee OF the 127th Pennsylvania regiment,
with portion of the regiment mounted, also
captured squad of rebels who were maraud-
ing on this side of the river. We hold Cham
bersburg, and the citizens are fortifyng the
city. Gen Couch has ordered that the place
be held.
The Notifications opposite this city are fin
shed, and considered impregnable. Gen.
Couch has issued an order thanking the ritv
for building the Notifications. The rebels are
known to be 5000 strong at Hagerstown and
Williamsport. The rebels hold the south
bank of the Potomac river, from Cumberland
to Harper's Ferry. Gen Kelly drove them
out of Cumberland. and when they left thew
threatened to return and furnish themselves
with horses and forage. The rebels have AL
ready done an immense amount of damage.
1t is thought that the rebel force of Gen.
Rhodes is opposite Williamsport with 10000
men.
The rebel general Imboden is reported
as advancing, but this is considered
doubtful. Governor Curtin will review the
New York troops on Monday. The two regi-
ments from the city of Buffalo have arrived
and make splendid appearance. The secre-
tary of war says that he will sustain governor
curtin IN MS promise TO SEND the troops home
aiter the emergency Is over
HARRISBURG, Pa, Midnight, June 2t.-Re-
liable advices indicate that the rebel force has
increased largely about HagerSlown. They
havo Is pieces of cannon. A detachment CS
the lst New York cavalry captured Il number
of prisoners yesterday, and the l27th Penn
sylvania also captured some. The rebel
picketS are within "a miles of Greencaste
and cavalry force advanced to Mercersburg
and captured horses and property.
Gov. Curtin visited the camps to-day and
was enthusiastically received by tie New
York regiments which he visited He also
reviewed the Blue Reserves, OF Philadelphia
and that regiment will be mustered in to- NOR
row. The tort6cations are nearly completed.
n fear is felt that the city will be captured.
A dispatch received here late this evening
states that rebel cavalry force is within
eight miles Of Gettysburg, and had crossed
South Mountain They are evidently adj
vancing east to attack the Northern Central
railroad. An ample force is prepared
to resist the attack. Stockades and earth
works have been erected at all the
bridges by operatives of the road, and all
troops that will be necessary will be collected
at all the important points.
