PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE Inquirer has o
special from Washington, dated last night, with
the following:
Gen. Ewells corps is 10 the advance, accom-
panied by Gen. StuaIt's cavalry. Gen. Hills
corps is close behind, aud Longstreet brings up
the rear.
Ihere no longer seems to be any doubt that
Gen Lee Ia throwing the whole of his forces
up toward Maryland and Pennsylvania. Our
cavalry has been skirmishing with Lees rear
guard for two days, and all Information tends
10 show that the rebels are not moving to give
US battle on the old field of Bull Run, or that
vicinity.
Our forces evacuated Frederick, Md. and
that vicinity, and fell back to the Relay House
this morning. No enemy pursuing them, they
returned to Frederick this morning with strong
reintorcements.
Some rebels appeared o. Poolesvllle last
evening. but withdrew without doing an dam
age.
An extra train went to Harper's Ferry last
night and returned this morning. Soon aft er
the train passed Point of Rocks, some of Gen
Hill's corps came In on q tour of observation.
1t s said by some who watch military matters
closely, that the next battle will be fought In
Maryland, aud perhaps on the old field Of A n
tietam.
Gen. Lee 10 moving on a longer line than
Gen. Hooker, but he has not succeeded in out
marching him very far. Gen. Hooker was a'
Fairfax G. H. this morning, but il cannot be
said where he will be to night.
1t is not believed that the rebels have got In.
to Pennsylvania in great numbers, but what they
may do in twenty.four hours more is hard "a
tell.
II is believed that Harper's Ferry can be
held against any force the rebels may bring
against 1t.
BALTIMORE, June Unreliable information

of rebels, not exceeding twenty-five thousand,

Sunday, evidently in pursuit of General
