WARRINGTON Friday. June 26 1863.
There is no longer doubt that another great battle
will be fought in Maryland probably, in Penpsyl-
wanna possibly. That one corps Of the Rebel army
lie already north OF the Potomac and that the Others
have followed or are preparing 10 follow, is almost
certain. Our own military operations are such as
TO indicate that this is the opinion Of the authorities
Il is, OF course improper TO indicate the positions
occupied by army at present il is sufficient TO
say that whatever movements have taken place
have been made with prompttude and rapdIty, and
that in the highest quarters the prevailing feeling lie
one Of confidence.
Tie RepuJi can, OF tonight, has the following:
There Is hlle doubt that Gen. Lee, with bis
whole command, is on the north OF the Potomac;
that his left wing is in Pennsylvania, extending a.
far Carlisle; that Longs,reets corps IS IN the
Valley Of Boonsboro, between the town OF Boons-
boro and the Pepnsy lvanla State line, and A. l..
Hills corps accompanied by Gen. Lee, Is not far
from tie battlefield Of AntietGm. Immense Rebel
trains of wagons have returned across the Potomac
from the Valley Of BoonesbOro loaded with all sorts
OF goods gathered up by the trsitorous punderers.
Taey have made Cnarlestown, Elk miles from liar-
pers Ferry the depot for these stolen goods, as the
wagons, after unloading al that place, returned 10
Maryland.
THIS ID corroborated by The Star Sc fellows:
lie Trains OF Lee army were crossing the IOtO
mac all last nig hear. This indicates tina. be
tAs crossed is crossing his other corps-hills
hnd Longstree.s. There are, to-day, other ndlca-
tioas that he designs operating almost the whole Of
ls army north of the Potomac.
A paragraph in the NewYork papers of to-day
credited TO a letter from Washington, which states
that 30 600 Of Bgagg's army are az Richmond doing
garrison duty, is here. On the contrary, those
who have excellent opportunities Of knowing the
1tuation a. Richmond, assert that the city is held
by not more than 900 men at the utmost, aud the
gvngs cot Of the Richmond papers and statements
Of returned prisoners strengthen the hypothesis that
the garrison is "a small one.
The Star of tonight urges the Government 10
call out the District militia. and TO eOns;ript the
Strangers here who within the arms-bearing age.
TIE Star says:
i.ast night the Rebels occupied Fairfax Court.
House, with q guerrilla force OF between 100 and
800 stro ~, II having been previously vacated by
tue Union troops who we're recently there. Those
TROOPS are row elsewhere employed. Ibis Rebel
occupation VI that point gave rl-S 10 story that
FplrfaI Ststion burned last nIght, winch II ia
true As there can be necessity for its continued
ULion occupation under existing circumstances, Tie
chances se tAst the guerrIllas will make their ep-
pegrance about there also tlls afternoon.
