CONTINUED RETREAT OF THE REBELS.
HARRISBURG, July 10 P. M-[nfor.
nation received here proves beyond doubt
the continued retreat of the rebals towards
Hagerstown and Wiliamsport, with inten-
ton of crossing the Potomac. Their wagon
trains are all in front, and are beiSg ferried
across slowly in two fat boats The Poto-
mac is very high and banks full, and they
cannot cross. their only pontoon bridge hav-
ing been destroyed.
A large force Of infantry prevented the
capture Of Williamsport by Gen. Buford
with his cavalry.
Our army is fast following them up, and
great battle will be fought before they
succeed in getting away. This fight, it is
hoped, will result in the capture of the
whole or dispersion Of Lees army.
SECOND DIsPATCH-LATER.
A dispatch from Loudon says a gentle
man who arrived from Williamsport states
that big fight was then going on, and that
there were no rebels in the vicinity of Green
castle. The whole rebel army appears to
be on the bank Of the river, and is no doub,
making desperate fight

Ayers Sarsaparilla

Is compounded from the most efectual anti.
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure OF the
disorders il entails. That IL Is far superior TO
any other remedy yet devised is known by all
who have given Il a trial. That il does com
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class Of complaints, is indispufably
proven by the great multitude Of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made Of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery-
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
Of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished TO the druggists
for gratutous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed TO afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all Sec
tons of the country, in order that every reader
NAV nave access 10 some one WHO CHI sItuk 10
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constiu-
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life The vast importance of these considera-
tions has led us to spend years in perfcciinc q
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under .he name of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of .Sdrs1pariRa in Alternative power By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger Of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func'
tions, and thus expels the distempers which
lurk within the system or burst out on an!
par. of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .Srsapanlla, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither bt
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and Their
remains no question of its surprising eXcellcnc,
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the SAINT
name, it is very different medicine from an,
other which has been before the people, and /
far more effectual than any other which ha
ever been available TO them.

EG- The Richmond Wing of the 18th,

DG- The Richmond Wing of the 18th,
has an article on the Southwest" in
which it admits as possibly true an asser-
ton that 1.-THE people of the Southwest
are more inclined to peace, especially
with the Northwest than the Atlantic
States of the Confederacy" The Wing
attributes this inclination to the reverses
of the rebel arms in the West. 1t says:
"The Yankees now hold Nashville
more firmly than before, threaten seri-
ously the occupation of East Tennessee,
are not dislodged from Northern Missis-
sippi, have again entered Florence, and
make promise-not altogether idle-of
entering Georgia.
"This is the painful history of our
arms in Tennessee and Kentucky. If we
cross the Mississippi, and inquire the re-
suits of our efforts in Arkansas and Mis-
souri,, the record is too humiliating to be
read at length. No man cares to hear
the story of the Confederate cause after
the fall of McCulloch and the joining of
Prices forces to those of Beauregard.
The chronicle is not more sad than it is
shameful. 1t may be summed up by the
disheartening announcement made in
our latest exchanges that the armies O.
Holmes and Hindmdn hare dtcindled
from thirty,fue thousand dolon to a mere
brigade In Texas and in the Indian
Territory the story is much the same
large armies raised and nothing accom-
plished. Concerning Arizona and New
Mexico, we have ceased to hear any
thing whatever. Perhaps they are no
longer considered a part of the Confede-
racy.
when the fortunes of war have been
SO uniformly adverse, it is not surprising
that a people who see in its prolongation
not subjugation, but the further ravaging
of their fields, the loss of their slaves and
the burning of their houses, should de-
sire its cessation at the earliest moment,
and perhaps be willing to make conces-
sions which others more fortunate would
reject 1t is not believed that the South
west lacks faith in the ultimate success
of the cause, or is unwilling to make as
great sacrifices as the people in the val
ley and in tide-water Virginia have done;
but when they perceive month after
month pass by without any Roadway be-
ing made by our armies. and with only
a partial resistance to the enemy's adj
vance, they naturally enough distrust
the arbitrament of the sword and incline
to the expedients of diplomacy"
If the Southwest would come back
into the Union, the door is open. If they
wish to be relieved from the JEFF. Davis
despotism, the thing can be done de-
Gently and in order.

They stole large number of horses, but
dad bat little damage
Some excitement still existed in Lex
ington and the neighboring towns and
country, but the best informed people
there and in that vicinity do not regard
the rebel advance as formidable inva-
sion, but as mere cavalry raid.
A dispatch from a reliable source was
received in this city last evening from
Murfreesboro to the effect that John c.
Breckenridge was certainly in Tullahoma
on Tuesday. The statement, therefore,
that he is in command of the rebel forces
now in Kentucky is untrue. They are
doubtless under the command of Pegram.
The most perfect quiet reigned on the
line of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road yesterday, although the residents
along the route apprehended raid upon
the road in few days.

THE REBEL INVASION.
HIGHLY EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
RreckinrIdge Not in the State.
% REBEL TROOPS ATDANvILLE.

The accounts which we have this
morning relating to military operations
in the vicinity of Lexington are quite
meagre The report that an engage
ment had taken place at or near Camp
Dick Robinson lacks confirmation; but
there has no doubt been more or less
skirmishing in that region.
The train dne from Lexlns ton at seven
o clock last evening did mol arrive until
nine clock, having been delayed on ac-
count of the accident two miles above
Frankfort on Wednesday afternoon. A
locomotive was thrown from the track
in the cut at that point, and, as the cut
is only wide enough to admit the pas
sage of a train, it will be necessary to
remove the locomotive before perfect
connection can be made. The track
will be cleared, however, to-day, and we
will then have uninterrupted connection
with Lexington.
TIe intelligence received by this train
leads US to believe that the rebel cavalry,
to the number of twelve or fifteen hum
dred, which occupied Danville on We'd
nesday, shave evacuated that place and
reiterated in the direction of Somerset

A SKIRMIsH AND A CAPTURE.-There
was quite an exciting skirmish in the
vicinity of the depot yesterday morning
A man named Jim Wilson, who some
years ago killed a man at Steamport
KY, as we are informed, and who suisse
quently broke jail in Henderson County
and has been at large ever since, came
to the Jail yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of bailing out a friend or relative
who was committed a few days ago for
knocking down and robbing a man in
this city. He was recognized by rebel
prisoner now in our jail, and who was the
jailor of Henderson county at the time
Wilson made his escape --.
He communicated this fact to Sheriff
Wolfin after Wilson left, and Wolfin
and his deputy, Mr.. Robert Early, at once
started in search of the escaped muir
derer.
They found him at the depot in the act
of buying railroad ticket.
Wolfin addressed him, asking him if
his name was Jim Wilson He replied,
no. WolAin then said he suited the de-
description given by the former jailor of
Henderson county so well that he wanted
him.
Wilson asked what he wanted him for,
at the same time drawing revolver and
a bowie knife, and said if you take me it
shall be when l am dead.
Neither Wolfin or Early were armed,
and while they were endeavoring to get
revolvers from the Provost guard, Will
son backedto the door, stepped out, cut
the hitching strap of John hodson S
mare, which was standing near, mounted
her and attempted to ride off.
By this time Early had obtaiued re-
volver, and shot three times at Wilson,
without hitting him, however Wilson
fred once or twice at the officers with
like effect, when, in his efforts to dodge
Early's shots he lost his balance and fell
from the mare, which ran off Wilson
OOlSeu Ocnihu wv ou1 "olAih anu
Early made flank movement on his
right and left, both being now armed.
Wilson seeing they were about to g. d
dvance on his works." laid down his
arms and displayed the white flag.
The surrender was unconditional, and
he was lodged in jail to avail either a
requisition from the Governor of Ken
lucky, or trial for an attempt to stea
Hodson's mare.

ANOTHER BIG FIRE-Our citizens were
again aroused about II o'clock yester-
day morning by the alarm of fire. A
few minutes before the alarm was given
fire was discovered in the bakery occu-
pied by the family of John Hoffman, ad-
joining the St. Charles Restaurant on
First street
After some trouble the family sleeping
in the building was aroused, and they
had scarcely made their exit when the
flames burst forth with terrible violence.
The Steam Fire Engine was quickly
on the spot, throwing perfect food of
water, but was unable to save the build
ings, which were of wood, and burned
with inconceivable rapidity. The adjoin-
ing building, occupied as a bakery and
confectionery, by August Legemann,
burst into flames in few minutes after
the first and was also totally destroyed.
The store of Fendrich Bros, and that
of Mr.. J. P. Byrne, were also on fire,
burning out the windows and window
frames to some extent, but by the exer-
tons of the fire companies were saved
The spectacle presented by the two.
burning buildings, just before the roofs
fell in, was terribly grand. The flames
which enveloped both completely shot up
to great hight, tapping over the top of
the St Charles, as if determined to de-
YOUR that building, while the whole at
mosphere was thick with sparks and
burning Goals and cinders, which, falling
on surrounding buildings, threatened to
envelope them in one common ruin.
The building occupied by Hoffman
was owned by Daniel Hassler, and was
not insured.
The building occupied by Legerman
belonged to the heirs of Fred. Kron, and
was insured for $500; Heggman's stock
was insured for $500, and Hoffman
stock for s4OO, which will probably cover
the loss on the stock.
John Hurst, who had cigar store in
Hassler's building, lost about $3.50 worth
of cigars. No insurance.
The roof of the building occupied by
Loewenthal & Co., on the corner was on
fire several times but the fire was speed.
lily extinguished. So great was the heat
against the St Charles, that the walls
were cracked in several places.
The origin OF the fire was doubtless
accidental,
The efficient manner in which the fire
department labored, and the immense
volume of water thrown by the steam en-
CINE, alone saved the entire block on
Main street, from destruction.

DEAR SIR K
If yon chance to see ally of the Copper
head stripe who desire to know what we
think of their Peace Conventions and
{" Compromise Resolutions, please tell
them we would rather meet them with
arms in their hands, in the rebel ranks,
than to hear of their traitOrouS and colo-
ardly efforts to stab us IN the back. We
would rather meet three brave foes in
our front Ii al to have to contend with
one cowardly assassin in our rear. We
desire peace, and would like to return to
our homes; but we will never consent
for those in armed rebellion against the
Government, nor their traitorous allies,
to dictate the terms of that peace We
want an enduring peace, permanent
tranquility, and a guarantee against an
other rebellion.

Fort MONROE, March 25.-Four Ger
man families arrived this morning at
Fort Monroe from Richmond, via York
Town. They report that the prevailing
opinion in Richmond is that the rebels
will soon evacuate that city and proba-
bly, most of Virginia.
Freedom of speech is much less re-
stricted there than formerly.
They bring no news from Charleston,
but say the rebels was expecting an at
tack daily.
Provisions were exceedingly high in
Richmond, and mechanics wages cores
,pondingly high.
They came out of the Confederacy IN
der foreign protection.
