THE REBEL INVASION.

NEW YORK, July 5.
A special 10 the Tribune, dated Wash
ington, July 8th, says heavy skirmishing
took place to-day from daylight till three
o'clock in the afternoon near Boonesboro',
between Buford's and Fitzpatrick's caval-
ry and the enemy's cavalry and infantry.
The locality of Lees army is unknown,
but his wagon trains are at Wiliamsport.
1t is believed Lee is fortifying on or near
Antietsm.
1t is now stated that the first draft will
be for 100000, to be made as soon as the
enrolment is completed. Quotes Of seve-
rat districts are already assigned.
FREDERICK, Nd, July s.
Herald's special:
1t is reliably reported that our troops
occupied HsgerstoWn to-day after fight.
No PARTICULARS.
The enemy were transporting men across
the river on two fiat boats. Our artillery
had commenced shelling them.
The rebel armyis supposed to be moving
between Williamsport and Sharpsburg. It
is generally thought there will be q decis-
i've battle tomorrow or next day.

PROSPECT FOR THE SUMNER.

We understand it has now been fully
decided that there will be no active opera
ions in the Department Of the South this
Summer. There are not troops enough
for General Gilmore to assume the offen-
sive, while there are many more than will
be necessary to defend the positions we now
hold. None Of these will be given up for
the present, but no effort will be made to
extend our lines materially. The surplus
troops, aside from the army Of defense,
will, it is understood, be sent to some other
Department, where active operations rem
der all reinforcements acceptable. The De-
partment of the Gulf is most prominently
spoken Of, in this connection, but we can
not learn that this has positively been de-
cided on as the destination Of such troops
as can be spared. Several regiments have
already been called in from points where
they were not actually needed, and have
been concentrated at st. Helena Island, as
q convenient rendezvous, where they will
remain until the proper time arrives for
their embarkation With General Gill
more Well-known activity and good judg-
ment, no fears need be entertained as to
the safety of any of our positions, even
with the proposed great reduction in the
number of troops. Folly Island will be re-
tanned for the present. and a sufficient
force will remain there to render its cap.
ture by the rebels impossible.

The Captain of the receiving ship at
Brooklyn Navy Yard, the North Carolina,
is brother Of General Meade. The day
Of the reception of the good news of the
battles, the ship had on her gala dress
and the men were all enthusiastic for
their Captain and his brother. 1t is said
that the Meade family are entitled to an
immense sum Of money-some millions we
believe-frOm the Government, owing to
s5me international financial arrangem ents
between the United States and Spain, the
Government of the latter country having
originally borrowed the money from Gen
eral Meade's father, who was a Pennsyl-
Vsnian.
Orders have been received from the Ma
W Department directing the shipment to
Port Royal Of large number Of heavy ii
fed guns for our Monitors. Several of
these immense pieces of ordnance have
been put on board a vessel at the Navy
Yard. They are to replace the 15-inch
guns now on board the Nahant Weehaw-
ken, and other armOred ships. A large
pile Of ammunition is also under orders
for shipment.

You have been apprised that the Army
Of the Cumberland is in motion. Weheard
yesterday, that General Rosecraus was
within three miles Of Tullahoma, the strong
hold Of Bragg. Deoherd, twelve miles be-
low Tullahoma, on the Nashville & Chatta-
nooga Railroad, was entered by the bold
and dashing Colonel Wilder, and the Rail
road bridge and track destroyed for some
distance. You may look forstirring news.
Very little doubt is now entertained but
the rebels will give us battle behind breast
works and fortifcstions, which they have
had ample time to prepare at this natural
place of defense, Tullahoma. The country
too, is very difficult to operate in, being
low, level, marshy, and Overgrown with
underbrush. But with the enthusiastic
army Of General Rosecraus, and the har-
monious co operation of all the corps and
division commanders, you may expect all
but impossibilities
The Cumberland has risen several feet
since these last heavy rains, SO that boats
are again running. Yesterday, boat
loaded with Government stores was fired
into by the enemy, receiving more than
fifty shots. They halted at place called
the "Porkery," three miles from Gallatin,
and waited for a gunboat that came this
morning and escorted the steamer to Car
thage; from which you may see that there
are still rebels in the rear. J. II.

Ravenna Democrat items: The places of
business in Ravenna are closed at P. NJ
to facilitate military drills. Jabes H. Lef-
fndwell, an old and esteemed citizen of
Ravenna, died last Sunday, aged 81
years. "The small pos" says the Demo
orst is prevailing in portions of this
county to an extent that is attracting at
tentiOn. The disease seems to have as
sumed its line of battle, beginning at
Franklin through the Southern tier of
townships, circling round to Windham.
The precaution of vaccination should be
vigorously pursued The disease should
be confined to as marrow limits as possi-
bic, and vigilance exercised that no one
be needlessly exposed. Our information
is, that the disease il not absting in the
localities where it prevails"
Rev. WI. Day has preached his last
sermon In Ravenna previous to going to
Conference. The Democrat pays him a
high compliment, as genial, popular pas
tor, Military elections were held through
out the county on the 4th. In Brimfeld a
drunken rowdy smashed the ballOt-bOz,
and created somewhat of a row. The act
was disoOuntensnoed by all, without dis

Tender mercics Of a Pirate.

1t is said that Lieutenant Reed, the Off
Ger who was captured while attempting to
escape from Portland Harbor with the cut
ter Caleb Cushing, was second in command
Of the pirate ship Florida, under Captain
Mafft his step-father, and that when the
ship Jacob Bell, from China to New York,
Wascaptured by them, he robbed and insult
ed the ladies whomIthey found on board.
One Of the ladies, sister of VIM. Curtis
Noyes, Esq of New York, was robbed of
the contents of her trunks, consisting Of
wardrobe, wearing apparel, silver spoons,
and other silver plate, heir-looms in her
fathers family for many years, marked
with her initials-table cloths, bed linen,
supplies very needful to their personal
comfort on a long voyage; cases of claret,
sWeetmeats and other effects, including
box Of rare and beautiful Cbins, given to
Mrs. W. by friend in that country. All
these articles of personal comfort and val
ne were carried of at one fell swoop into
the Wardroom of the Florida before the
eyes of Mrs. W., by this ocean freebooter.

Important Decision upon the Income Tax.
One of the most obnoxious clauses of the
act concerning the collection of the income
tax has been considered by United States
Commissioner Lewis, who has issued per-
emptOry orders to the Assessors and Col
lectors in relation thereto. Section Is Of
the act of July l, 1862, provides that As
SCISSORS shall advertise all persons concern
ed, of the time and place in each county
when and where the lists taken in said
county may be examined, and said lists
shall remain open for examination, for the
space of fifteen days This provision, it is
needless to remark, was looked upon with
great dissatisfaction by almost everybody.
1t completely opened everybOdy's cash
book, pocket book, business prospects, &c.,
to everybody else who happened to be in
quisitive enough to look them up.
In circular from Commissioner Lewis,
particular attention is called to this fact,
and Assessors and Colleetors of the Income
tax are directed to " exercise such control
" titC etoto 10 " PIGDettl TIC 81 stS@ttofs "
mere idle curiosity in the examination Of
them" He also advises as follows:
"You will please to observe that the re-
turns which have been, or shall be made
by taxpayers, to officers assessing Income
tax are not to be communicated to others
than those whose business it is to collect
the tax, except in the performance of off,
cisl duty; and all officers Of internal rev.
enue are instructed that inquiries as to
the purport of, or amount Of such returns,
by persons not interested in them pecuni-
srily, or in some fiduciary capacity, are
not to be answered. Considerations relat-
ing to mercantile credit and TO the feel
ings of individuals as to the exposure Of
the state of their fortune or business, rem
der careful observance Of these instruc-
tions particularly proper, and it is there
fore strictly eDjOined."

Late foreign news indicates renewal of
Louis EapOleOn's itching desire to inter
pose his Intervention scheme into Ameri-
can affairs. The busy Mr.. ROebuck has
been in Paris talking the matter over"
with the Emperor, and that august person
age ihtimates that his opinion of the Amer
lean war is unchanged, and that he desires
again to interpose in conjunction with Eng
land. Mr.. Roebuck forthwith hurries back
to London, and in the House Of Commons
states that he shall introduce a motion for
the recognition of the Confederate States.
Earl Russell denies in the House Of Lords

FROM GETTYsBURG.-Captain Nathaniel
HaughtOn, of Company A, 25th Ohio infant
ry, arrived here this morning, from the Get
tysburg fight, on his way to Toledo, his
home. Captain H. participated in that great
battle, acting as aid to General Ames. He
has flesh wound in the right arm from a
musket ball. His clothes were cut up by
bullets. He was wounded the first day of the
fight, but continued in the field through
the second days fight. He says only seven
ty-one men wero left in his regiment (25th
ohiO) at the time the pursuit of Lee was
commenced. He estimates our loss at 49,,
600. and that of the enemy $4,000. Both ar
mics fought with desperate bravery. We
had little advantage in position. He
thinks the defeated army of Lee will not
be allowed to escape across the Potomac.
The Florida brigade, reported to have thrown
down their arms and surrendered, did so be-
cause they were obliged to. They were
threatened with annihilation by portion of
PleasantOn's cavalry.
