engagement which took place was at AMI

turned to the newly constructed fort on the

after being relieved By some fresh troops,
were vigorously attacked by tho moun. ain

vauced on the Zitzi, where they were about

the Russians, to the number Of 4,5o0, we're
obliged to retire with loss Of $50 men, be-

tended large Union mass meeting
held in ono Of the largo cities OF thu
ate, and among the speakers recognized,
IN one Of the most emphatic Of them all, ~
Englishman who had formerly been his teach
er in one Of the ward schools uptown. Al
the close OF the speech the young man pp
preached his former friend, calling him bs
his old name. The name was disclAimed b5
the Unitn orator, and all acquaintance with
the young man denied. But the New Yorke1
could not be shaken off thus easily, and
pressed his inquiries until he succeeded Ia
making himself feared, it not recognized. By
the Union speaker. The latser finally winked
to him to go With him from the ground, and
asked him If he could keep secret.
Upon his answering attirmatively, the ora-
tor took the Joung man to his room at the
hotel, again extortcd hts secrecy upon honor,
and, first taking out Il pistol to guard against
surprise, as well as to frishten his visitor, ac-
knowledged himself to be confederate Spy

Sion he has probably by this time safely sue

sny description, aud the yield promises to be
excellent. The fruit crop will be only fair.
Apples, pears and cherries promise well, hut
peaches are q failure. The wheat crop oil
Shelby county will not be more than half au
average of that Of other seasons. The WHEAT
ciop in Henricks county promises to bo fl
/ beyond the average, unless rust sets in. Corn
looks well, and the prospect for full supply
Of fruit Ia promislng.- In Union Township,
Fulton county, the crops for the most part
look well, particularly the wheat. Corn ia

past few days has caused 1t come rapidly for
ward, and we anticipate good crop. We
noticed some lux on q number Of farms
There Is also o flIr amount Of fruit on the
trees, though 1t was injured By the late hail
storm and by frost in some places. In La
porte county the wheat crop, on sandy land,
fas been materially damaged By tho f1y.
Wheat on the prairies has suffered little, If
any: The grain crop will be Light On account
Of the drouth.
ILI1So1s.-We learn that the fine promises

dire penalty for that insult or their fame
and name will tarnish in war annals.
The first cavalry raid into Pennsylvania,
which created the first scare, was, it seems,
only feeler. The movement is now be-
gun in earnest. The rumors come, too,
that the rebels hare staked their all on this
venture; that Bragg Is at Richmond, with
forces drawn from before Rosecrans, for
the defense Of that city; that the South
west is abandoned to its fate, and all the
power Of the rebellion centered in the
mighty venture now embarked in. If one
part Of this be true, Rosecrans will soon
report upon it, for our dispatches say his
army is in motion, and no sham picket
lines will deceive our army below A1ur-
frcesboro
Such arc the aspects presented in our
dispatches elsewhere. They are well cal
culated to awaken grave anxiety. The
Government at Washington are prepared
for the emergency. Hooker is not idle.
The next few days must bear great tidings
from the East The earnest work Of
the war is at hand, tho gravest
hour Of the struggle thus far, is upon us.
Let it arouse fresh spirit Of loyalty in
every man- Let every citizen be ready to
stand in his own lot for tue defense Of the

corps throughout the loyal States, upon .
plan similar to that In vogue in England and
Switzerland, with view Of creating force
that shall be available for any emergency.
The men arc to be supplied with the Spring

States service. It Is proposed to organize
this force into Independent companies, to be
armed and equipped by the several States to
which they belong, mud to DO under the in-
mediate control q the said States. In order
to procure proper persons for this force, a2.
plications will be mada to the different State
Legislatures to offer prizes every year, to be
competed for BY the companies as often aa
once q year. Congress viii also be asked to
of1er prizes to be competea for every three

WASHINGTON, June Is, 1868.
The military situation Is about this: Gen.
Rooker's army is tolerably we'll in hand,
stretching In front Of Washington, with out
lying cavalry beyond the Bull Run mountains,
aud the gaps that enter the Shenandoah VAL
ley. Tie whereabouts of Gen. Lees army arc
va1iously stated. Gen. Hooker is understood
to believe now that the bulk Of tho rebel army.
is In Tie Shenandoah Valley, while the people
of Baltimore are under the impression that It
is already menacing their city and arc accumu-
lating for defence, while Others believe 1t to
be massipg for an attack on the Maryland
side; still others insist that it is moving vest
ward with all possible rapidity towards Pitts
burg, or upon the Kanawha Valley to 5farl-
etto, Ohio.
Military operations are covered by sucl,
cloud Of feints, and demonstrations in the
valley, oycr in Maryland, in Southern Penn
sylvanIa, that there is great difficulty In form.
ing MI accurate opinion as to location, or
Intentions.
It is altogether certain that now no enemy
is In the Bull Run Valley, or anywhere cast Of
the Blue Ridge in Virginia, except several
detachments Of cavalry.
