HARRISBURG, June 70.
The drinking houses were all closed this
morning, in obedience to the Mayors procla-
nation. Many OF the dry goods stores are al
so closed.
Large numbers of refugees continue to ar
rive from the vaRey.
Gen. Knipe, deeming his forces not strong
enough to meet the enemy, evacuated Carlisle
last night. At this writing it is not known
whether the town has been occupied BY the
rebels or not. Gen. Knipe reports that the
rebels are advancing 10000 strong.
The Governor will, by the authority of the
War Department, issue proclamation, which
will be published tomorrow, calling for $4,000
militia for the defence of the State, to serve
for three months. The apportionment for the
different counties will also be indicated. Gen.
w. +. Smith has been assigned to the defences
of the Susquehanna River. Colonel Rice has
been assigned TO the command of the troops at
Bloody Run, Gen. Milroy having been relieved.
The Gray Reserves will be mustered in to-
day. Gen. Dana has been assigned to the de-
fence of Philadelphia.
The rebel force which occupied Gettysburg
to-day was the division of Gen. Early, belong
ing to Longstreet's corps. This makes two
corps which are supposed to have crossed the
Potomac. Longstreets troops are thought to
have crossed at Sheppardstown Ford. When
Rhodes division of Ewelfs corps arrived at
OnailUeTsUuTS, tue operator Was unable 10 eS-
cape. He remained until Wednesday, when
he made his escape by way of LoudoD, and ar
rived here tonight. The rebels numbered
about 1900 and had five batteries, with
long train of ambulances and wagons All
the officers wore new uniforms, which no doubt
had been sent to Hagerstown 10y rebel sympa-
thizers in anticipation of their arrival. When
the operator left Gen. Johnson's division be-
longing to Ewelfs corps, was within six miles
of the town. The soldiers believed they were
going to Harrisburg, and were very anxious
to know how far it was.
The enemy made no attempt to occupy
Carlisle to-day, although within four miles of
the town. 1t has rained all day and the river
is rising
HARRISBURG, June 26-9 p. NJ.
Hundreds of horses are being driven over
the bridges of the Susquehanna, followed by
men, women and children, the deienceless in
habitants OF the Cumberland Valley.
Gov. Curtin has received information that
the rebels occupied Gettysburg to-day with
ten regiments of infantry and with cavalry
and artillery. The operator there, while send
ing the dispatch to Gen. Couch, was forced to
leave before finishing it to avoid capture 1t
is believed this force intends to strike the
Northern Central X. X. either at Hanover
Junction or York, which is distant about
thirty miles.
The Governor has also received information
that the rebels hold all the passes of South
Mountain.

found dead about twelve days ago, on the
Mullan road, 20 miles from Hellgate. The
circumstances, which we get from Mr.. G..

try, was on his way down from Fort Benton,
with his wife and child, and when within

his little girl being ahead, heard the report
of gun, and shortly after saw an Indian,
on horseback, going up the hill, whipping
his horse and evidently attempting to get
out ofsight as fast as possible. On going
a short distance farther, they met Mr.. D.
w Williamson, who was hunting horses,
and they together proceeded TO find the
cause of the Indians alarm. They found
a small campfire about IS yards from the
road, and white man lying by it dead,
having been shot in the right temple The
ball had passed through and come out at
the back side of the head. On examining
the body they found upon his person small
