Disposition Of Lees Foroes,

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE Enquirer
has special from Washington dated last
night, which contains the following:
Gen. Ewell's corps is in the advance, &C.
compau;ed by Gen. Stuart's cavalry. Gen.
Hills corps is close behind and Longstreet
brings up the rear. There no longer seems
to be any doubt that Lee is throwing the
whole of his army up towards Maryland
and Pennsylvania.
Our cavalry has been skirmishiug with
Lees rear guard for two days, and all in.
formation tends to show. that the rebels are
not moving to give US battle oD the old
field of Bull Run or in that vicinity.
Our forces evacuated Frederick, Nd.
aud that vicinity and fell back to tia Re-.
lay House, this morning; no enemy pursu-
ing them. They returned to Frederick
this morning, with strong reinforcements.
Some rebels appeared at Poolesville last
evening, but withdrew without doing any
damage.
An extra train went to Harper's Ferry
last night and returned this morning.
Soon after the train passed Point of
Rocks, some of Hills corps came in an a
tour of observation.
1t is said by some who watch military
matters closely, that the next battle will
be fought in Maryland and perhaps on the
old geld of Antietam again.
Lee is moving in longer line than
Hooker, but be has not succeeded in out
marching him very far. Hooker was at
Fairfax @. H., this morning, but it cannot
be said where he will be tonight.
1t is not believed that the rebels have
gone into Pennsylvania in any great mum
bers, but what they may do in "a hours
more is hard TO tell.
It is believed that Harper's Ferry can be
held against any force the rebels may bring
against it.

BS~KILLED AT WrNcHEsTRR-It is with
pain that we learn of the death of 1t. j. T.
Ben Cough of Co. 1. 18th Virginia, who was
killed in the trenches at Winchest in the
recent engagement there. Mr.. Ben Cough
was editor of the National at Fairmont,
aud volunteered as private last summer
in company raised at that place. as a
gentleman he was amiabIe, and as a SOL
der brave and true. he was loved by all
who knew him. The highest praise that
can be awarded him is that he did his duty
as citizen and patriot, and died a brave
man defending his country.
1t. Ben Cough seems to have had a
presentiment of his fate. In parting with
Major Peirpoint lew days before his
death, aud before it was known there was
any danger of attack, he gave the Major
all his money and the address of his wife
who lives in Allegheny City, Pa, with a
request that he would send it to her. He
was much affected at the parting and on
turning away dissolved in tears, as if he
then felt that it was the last parting OF
earth. Honor to his memory.

GSUNITED STATES DISTRICT CoURr.-
The United States Court, Judge j. ]. Jack
son presiding, met yesterday at the Fed.
eral Court Room. After some office bus
mess, of no public Importance, N. Rich.
ardson, Esq, presented petition praying
the Court to grant writ of ha6eas corpus
in the case of Ex-Judge Thompson, now
confined rs a prisoner in the Atheneum.
The petition sets forth that on certain
day in the month of May last a body OF
armed men went to the residence of Geo.
W. Thompson and taking his body con-
veyed it to the city of Wheeling, and there
placed it in a building known as the Athe
neum and used as a military prison, where
it has since remained. The petitioner
claims that no cause has ever been as.
signed for his arrest, aud that he is lille
gally held by Francis H. Peirpoiut, Joseph
Darr, Jr., or Capt. Robert Hamilton, and
he desires thata writ of ha5eae corpus be
granted that the facts may be inquired
into.
The District Attorney, Col. Smith, pre-.
scented the affidavit of Provost Marshal
Darr, setting forth that he had no control
over the prisoner; that he was arrested
under the act of Assembly authorizing the
Governor to appreheud disloyal persons.
Judge jackson suggested some points
of law involved in the case, and taking
the papers said he would reserve his de.
cisiou.

IMpoHTART ORDER.-There was a great
stir among the militia yesterday. The
order calling upon the 4th and 9Th repi.

purpose of being mustered into the service
WAS responded to by all who have hereto
lore manifested a willingness to take up
arms. Up stairs board of officers. an.
pointed for the purpose, were considering
The papers of those claiming exemption.
Down stairs, in the yard of the Court
House, and all along 4th street, the militia
were sitting, standing, lying down aud
Longing about, waiIiugtO know what dis
position was to be made of them. The
weather being very hot some of the men
grew tired and impatient, forgetting for
the time that everything could not be done
in day. Some of the men got on pretty
heavy loads of Intoxicating liquors, and
during the forenoon Major Darr sent
around squad of soldiers and had all the
liquor houses shut up, a very difficult thing
TO do by the way, for most of these places
have two doors to their houses, both of
which are familiar to the initiated. Early
in the morning the captains of the various
companies detailed squads to hunt up
those who seemed disincliued TO toe the
mark, andnot little merriment was occa-
stoned by the appearance at the Court
House, under guard, of certain we'll known
recusauts who we're at once equipped and
placed on duty.
