The summary" Of the Baltimore Ga-5tts of
the s0;h says:
The movements Of the Coufedsratss On the
upper Potomac are shrouded ia inPsns.rable
mystery. They hold HsgerstoWR in some
force, and it is believed they viii cousti-ute it
base Of operations fer drawing supplies from the
Cunbsrlsni valley. A still larger body Of the
sasay, estimated AZ eight thousand men, Is be-
lisvsd ts be at WiLliamsBort. There has been
some skiruishing at Hancock, in which it's
claimed that the C0nfsdsratss were repulsod.

Tss Fairfax Cour. House correspondent Of
tbs Washington Star says:
There IS reason to believe thst Lees head
quarters last night were less than three miles
from Csntsrvills, on Ball RuR. It is believed
further hare, that the next battle Of Importance
will really take place on the old Gal3 Of Manas-
sas.
Lee has net force opposite as sufficient to a.
tack at this time as a considerable portion of
bis army is yes up the valley; bat there IS an
inrrsssioR here that tss sbjscs Of that move
was By sudden dash spsn eur detached forces
at Wiushestcr, BsuyviIls aud MarsiBsburg, to
De an sff fsesivs strsIs of business thsresbouts,
sa3 at the same tims, By a teint e. Invasion, ca
j5le Hssksr into transferring the bulk Of his
army north Of the Potomac, By which msusu-
yer he (Lse) eaEld reclaim the sacred soil TO the
line OF the Potomac, and perhaps by 3 quick
movement g5bbls up supplies sad any dstaches
fsrcrs Of ours south Of tho river, and nat pro-
tecsed Immediately by the sIsag dstsn5es Of
Washington.
If this was his plan, Hsolor has shown no
disposition to give him undue aid IN carrying Il
cut, as While keeping pacs with Lee and quitting
himself ia position to threw his fsrce across the
Potomac At short notics, shsuld he really find
Lee attempting the Invasion project hs has as
the same tins warily kept himself ia position to
face Lee gNjts as prsRptly On la south side Of
The river, should he attempt to double on Kim.
The correspondent Of the New York Herald
eating on the march, June 18Th speaking Of
Gen. Lees movements, says;
It seems to be satisfactorily do.e7minei that
the rebel army that moved up the Shenandoah
at FIRST and which is nsw dvsgoiling Southern
Pennsylvania, is but the advance Of the great
army Of invasion tha rebels have SO quietly
created. It consists of tive corps, those Of
Long5trsst and EWsll, Lse accompanying them
in person. These corps ara estinsted to NUM-
Der thirty th0asaad maH each, making the total
forcs new in tho upper valley, IN Maryland, and
in Ssuthsrn Pennsylvania, sixty thousand men

They have more hseps in reserve as has bsea
fully ascertaiHed. Yesterday they appeared in
fsrce with iniaetry, artillery, and cavalry at Bsv-
srly Ford, as if 20 assure us that they have not
withdrawR al their force en- the south side Of the
Rappabsnnoek. Bat they have rot vsntursd to
make any demonstration sFsinst the army Of tie
Potomac, the only enemy Hooker having found
10 battle with, being heat, dust, and tAe lack Of
water. Bat these enemies have been horribly
severe in their assaults This arny in the
march Of Monday, suffered unteld nissriss
The hea: Vas oppressive in the extreme, with
scarcely a oresth Of air stirring. The roads
were ankle deep in dust, and, to cap the climax,
the springs and streams along the roads were
aI sry. The whole country was filed with
stragglers. Men could not be kept in ranks
Every pisce Of woods was alled With them, and
ne eoaxjRg or threatening c0ald prevail %
them to move os. The ambulsness wers crowd
cd VITA those who had given out completely. I
presume there was as many as a thousand cases
OF sanstreiIe, of which at least hundred Were
instantly fatal. Ths open country WAS crowded
with these peor fellows, dropping down BY the
roadside in vast nUmbeFs sRd In al directions
Water, water, water, IS the cry en- every hand.
