NEW YORK. June 80.
The Times has the following dispatch from
the headquarters of the Army CT the Cumber-
land at Manchester, Tenn, dated the 18th, 10
A. NJ:
Headquarters remained at Manchester dur
ing yesterday, waiting until the corps Of Nc
Cook and Crittenden should come up. Mean
while two divisions of Thomas corps were
sent out to within five miles of Tullahoma as
a corps of observation to watch the enemy
Wilder's brigade of mounted infantry was
thrown on the flank and rear of Tullahoma,
and last evening found the whole OF Wilkens'
division eight miles south of Tullahoma at Is
telle springs, guarding the retreat of the rebel
wagon trains over the Elk River at that point.
1t is feared that Braggs army is Withdrawing
from Tullahoma TO Chattanooga, and that we
shall not be able to get the fight out of him
which men and officers have been SO eagerly
expecting. Our movement to the present
point has really outfanked Tullahoma. If
Bragg should retreat, as vigorous pursuit as
the nature of the country allows, will be made
Troops were thrown forward this morning to
harrass their flank and rear.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT, Narrow Escape

RAILROAD ACCIDENT, Ndrrow Escape
Monday afternoon two men in wagon were
driving down Clark street as freight train
was approaching on the railroad. The horse
was frightened and started upon the run d-
rectly towards the track. In endeavoring to
hold him in one of the reins broke and the
other pulled him directly on the track. The
men jumped from the wagon, and one of them
escaped without any injury. The other man
was caught between the wheels of the wagon
and severely crushed, though no bones were
broken. The wagon was stove to pieces by
the train. 1t was not supposed, for moment
by those who witnessed the accident, that
either of the men would escape without being
killed or dangerously injured

No Fears for Baltimore or Washington.

BALTIMORE, June 80.
The American says: We are not at liberty
to give the precise present position of the
Army of the Potomac. Suffice it to saw. both
Railroad and Telegraphic communication was
resumed with Frederick and HarpersFerry
this A. NJ and that rebel raiders who occu-
pied Montgomery County yesterday aud Sun
day, found 1t necessary yesterday Z. NJ, to
make rapid retreat from those localities They
also disappeared from Marriotsville and Sykes
vile on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad yes
terday p. NJ, and there was no enemy last
night between Frederick Road and the Poto-
mac.
Gen. Meade, soon as he took command Of
the Army, issued orders for a general move
ment, and in few hours relieved both Balti-
more and Washington of all present fear Of
rebel invasion.
We apprehend there is not rebel in arms
within 30 miles of Baltimore, and none on this
side of the Potomac within similar distance
of Washington.
The Baltimore e. Ohio railroad was repaired
last night. The train which left this forenoon
for Frederick and Harper's Ferry, has gone
through without interruption. The telegraph
was repaired half an hour after the rebels
left The rebel cavalry which attacked a
company of the lst Delaware cavalry at West
minister, yesterday, and drove them to this
city, was doubtless the advance guard of Lee,
leading the way across the country, through
Baltimore county. to enable them to Join the
main rebel army in the vicinity of York and
Gettysburg. They had found that longer delay
on the line of the Baltimore and Frederick
turnpike and the railroad. would not be safe
in view of the movement of Gen. Meade, aud
were making a rapid march across the coun-
try.
The American learns from citizens of West
minister who arrived this forenoon that the
first Delaware cavalry made most excellent
fight with sabres and revolvers, but were
forced to retreat by overwhelming numbers
A number were wounded on both sides.
There were not more than sixty of our cagal-
ry in the fight, and il is feared the greater part
OF them were killed, wounded or captured.-
Not more than fifteen out of 10 in the CON-
mand have reached the city.
Com. Darwin, at the request Of General
Schenck, has placed two gunboats near the
end of Broadway and one bridge On the west
ern side of the city. In an admirable position
to bear upon the city and its approaches.

SCMrs. johnson, her sister, Miss Angelina
Crockett and Miss Susan Merrill were drowned
in Winterport last Saturday. 1t is not known
in what manner the accident happened
but the Bangor Times says the bodies of the
two young ladies were found in the Marsh
entirely Invested of clothing which was on the
bank, while Mrs. johnson was fully dressed.
The most natural and probable explanation
is that the two girls intending to go in bathing
slipped over the cayey bank, near where their
bodies were found and getting beyond their
depth, called upon Mrs. johnson for assis-
lance, who responding to their appeal, shared
their fate.
~BrThe Houlton Times says that place is
invested with gang of thieves. On Friday
night last they broke into the store of David
Weber and ritled the money drawer of some
s30in script. The same night they entered
I. NJ. & II. G. Bradbury's store and carried
off the money drawer with small amount in
change. One night since Rev. E. G.. Carpen-
ter's new building was visited and two thous-
and of laths stolen.

NEW POSTAL LAw.-The act passed at the
last session of Congress altering and amend
ing the postal law, goes into operation to-day.
BY this act the postage on drop letters will be
two cents, prepaid by stamps, for each half
ounce. The postage on letters to all parts of
the United States, without any distinction OF
distance, is three cents for each half ounce,
prepaid by stamps. Consequently letters for
California and Oregon, weighing but half an
ounce, pay but three cents postage. There are
some other changes, for particulars of which
we refer the reader to the advertisement of the
Postmaster in our special notice column.

MANCHESTER. Tenn, June q

MANCHESTER, Tenn June 49,
The Chattanooga Rebel gives the following
account of the fight on Wednesday: From
passengers who came down on the afternoon
train yesterday we learn, that on Wednesday
seven brigades of the army of Gen. Rosecrans
attacked the brigades of Gems. Bates and Sid
dell, holding Hoover and Liberty Gaps. Our
men fought the enemy until their ammunition
was exhausted, when they fell back. The move
ment indicates general advance OF the enc
my's forces, which may result in pitched
battle. We regret to learn that among the
killed in Bates brigade was Maj. Claybrook,
and that Gen. Siddell lost some very estimable
officers.
The Rebel, in an exultant editorial on the
situation, says, at no time within the past two
years has the horizon of the Confederate States
uprisen in such spendor as now. When from
Vicksburg, Virginia, and Middle Tennessee
harbinger days of peace seem to burst in har-
monious ustre from the long night Of war.
To drive Gen. Grant out of Mississippi, invest
the Yankee Capital from Maryland, invade
Pennsylvania aud defeat Gen. Rosecrans are
the present objects.
The Rebel thinks the prospects were never
better for the onslmmation Of these legiti-
mate and possible contingencies, and says, las
we advance into the North the troubled spirits
of democracy must be told that our object is
peace, and that when an independence is rec
ognized, we will lay down our arms. Mr..
Valandigham will tell them so, but let our
Government and our Generals, when we march
over the border, proclaim that it is recorded
that Nemesis on his way to He'll threw them
a sop to Cerebus. Let us not disdain to throw
little sop to the restless ghost of democracy.
In another part OF the Rebel is a proclama-
ton from Isham G. Harris, in which he calls
for 5000 troops, for six months, from Tennes-
see, under the provision of the act of the rebel
Congress, to provide for local and special SER
vice. The force is to be composed of men
over 40 years of age, or such as are not liable
to CONSUMPTION.
A special dispatch to the Tribune from
Manchester, Tenn, to-day, says our whole
army is well concentrated at that point, and
advancing upon Tullahoma as fast as the
wretched condition of the roads permit. 1t is
certain the enemy is in strong force at Tua-
homa, but the question whether they will con-
test our advance. Col. Welder's brigade of
mounted infantry is trying to destroy the
Chattanooga Railroad south Of Tullahoma.

Retreat of the Enemy Beyond Carlisle.

COLUMBIA, Pa, June go
5. :. Blair, train master on the Northern
Central Railroad left York at s A. NJ, when
the rebels had all left except their rear guard,
which was beginning to move Off when he left.
They are supposed to be moving towards Har-
risburg. They left Unexpectedly and in
hurry. TWAS reported that Gen. Pleasantons
outer pickets have been seen within four miles
of York. The total demand on York by the
rebels amounted to 100000. The citizens
raised $4,000 in cash and subsistence, and the
rebels allowed them twenty days to raise the
balance. The citizens were all treated with
respect. The railroad south of Glen Rock
was not injured in any way. The rebel force
at York was not over 5000 with IS pieces of
artillery. The rebel force at Wrightsville was
5000 with five pieces OF artillery
HARRISBURG, June 80.
All is quiet. The rebels have retreated
beyond Carlisle.
1t is believed that the main body of the
rebels is in the neighborhood Of Shppensburp.
The rebels stated that their destination was
Harrisburg, but thought it probable they
might be compelled to fight the Army of the
Potomac before accomplishing their object
The danger to Pennsylvania and the North, is
still emminent, everything depending on the
encounter between Lee and Meade. If our
army should be defeated, we have no hope,
except in the large armies to be raised in the
North. No efforts should be spared to hurry
forward large military organizations every
where.

Of tn Board Of Trade, we understand the
