thrown the entire North into such
spasms had any other purpose than to
steal horses and drays, and make
reconnaissance with view to Lees
possible future movements. The rebel
movements, however, are involved in so
much uncertainty, and the reports are so
conflicting, that it is exceedingly did
cult yet to get any accurate idea of the
situation.
Of course the statements telegraphed
West yesterday morning that there had
been battle between Lees forces and
ours on the old Bull Run battle ground
are utterly unfounded.
The National hltelligencer of this
morning calls for the restoration of
Mcclellan to the command of the Army
OF the Potomac.
The President of the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad announces that the
rebels are returning in force to Harris
burg. All the rolling stock Of the road
has been ordered to this end of the line.
ANOTHER DISPATCH.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1S-The excite
ment in this city, consequent on the in
vasion of the State, is now subsding,
although recruiting and the organization
of military companies are still going on
rapidly. The evacuation OF Harpers
Ferry appears to have been only tenn
porary movement, and it is stated that
it is again in our possession.
The news of the departure of the rebel
force from Chambersburg affords the
liveliest qualification to all.
The Press has a special which says
that General Ewells force is concentra-
ted at Winchester, while the rest of
Lees forces hold Hagerstown and such
other points as will enable them to ope-
rate either against Harrisburg or Balt-
more. The object of the rebels at the
present time is merely matter of con-
lecture; but an idea which is prevalent
here seems to he reasonable enough. 1t
is that the rebel point of attack is Balti-
more, and that from Baltimore, should
they succeed in capturing it, the next
move would be OH Washington. What
seems to give color to this is that all the
troops coming on for the defense of this
State are ordered on Immediately to
Baltimore The 7th New York were
sent there, and other troops are pouring
in from all parts.

DIED.-Dr Billiard, one of the most
eminent physicians in the State, and one
of the most honored citizens of Indian
apolis, died in that city at s o'clock on
Thursday morning
He went to Vicksburg on the Courier,
on her late sanitary expedition, in charge
of the commission, and returned to this
city Frustrated by disease which he
had contracted in camp at Murfrees-
boro last winter, while on similar err
rand of mercy.
He lay in this city very i'll until Tues
day last, attended by his wife, who had
fastened to meet him here, when he was
taken home and gradually sunk until
his spirit was released from earth.
In the death of Dr. Billiard the State
has lost one of her best men and most
loyal and useful citizen.

By LAST NIGHTS MAIL
Very Latest from Vicksbulg.

CAIRO, June 18-Special dispatch to
the Cincinnati Gazette says:
II left Chickasaw Crossing on Sunday
night, the 18th
ION Saturday, at2 A NJ, the approach
es in front of Sherman's lines were
pushed through the rebel rife-pits and
within 20 feet of one of their bastions.
1.-The enemy threw lighted shell over
the parapet into the approach, but with
out damage, and received in return %
hand grenades, 20 of which exploded,
driving the enemy out, and the officers
in charge of the working party crawled
over the parapet and recovered two of
the unex ploded grenades, one of whichis
on its way to the Chicago Board of
Trade
On Friday the enemy cut away the
timber in front of his lines, and on Sat
urday opened with ll-inch she'll and two
or three siege guns.
General Logan silenced the mortars
with his 30-pound PARROTS and 92-pound-
er.
"No shells have been thrown into the
city for several days, all being directed
on the enemy's entertainments.
"Deserters report provisions short, the
rations being l pound of bacon and
corresponding piece of coarse bread
made of black peas and cornmeal-about
one-third the usual rations."
Pemberton threatens to hold out until
the last mule, horse and dog has been
eaten, but he need not wait for that as
his lines must give way before that time,
and it is evident that he is not building
new ones. He can plant no new guns
within range, nor use those Of the main
works, as our rife-pits are within 100
yards, and in some places less than so
feet Vicksburg must fall when Cen
Grant determines but he may wait few
days to save his men.
The army is in most excellent health,
and ready to follow where led
Osterhaus is in command at Black riv-
er, where he is throwing up heavy works.
The country is broken and easily defen-
ded Johnston could not cross the river
with one hundred thousand men.
Eighteen thousand soldiers and four
thousand citizens are within the enemy s
lines and cannot get away a man or gun.
The rebels are saving up powder in our
unexploded shells Sharp shooting is
brisk along the lines.

I'ment as to cause removal of the public
records from her capital, while as yet the
rebels We're some 80 miles distant, we
may easily imagine the CONSERVATION
that pervades the rebel capital, with
large column of Union troops aided by
e large feet of gunboats, distant only
fifteen miles
If previous reports as to the scarcity
of troops at Richmond prove to be cor
rect, and the rebel authorities have sent,
as they did before, every available man
to strengthen Lee, Gen. Dix, with the
apparent means. at his command,
ought to capture the rebel stronghold
which done, Gen. Lee would be forever
undcne.
The whole situation is of so startling
nature and seems so pregnant with
decisive results that one Involuntary
holds his breath in contemplating it.

Military Items.

Our Triune correspondent write to the
Indianapolis Journal, under date of June
llth as follows:
Get. Forests rebel cavalry made a
dash yesterday morning. They drove in
our plckets on the Eagleton Road, and
planted battery that threw proJectiles
into the headquarters of Gen. Mitchell.
Our artillery was soon in position, and
few we'll directed shots caused them to
fall back. The cavalry was soon in pur-
suit, the I'd Brigade, Col E. W. McCook,
in advance. The skirmishing was heavy
and the rebels contested every foot OF
the ground to Harpeth River, where they
made decided stand in rear of stone
wall. Gen, Mitchell ordered Col. Nc
Cook to send a sufficient force to drive
them across the river. The I'd Indiana
Cavalry and one battalion ofthe 4th In
diana were sent forward. They made a
charge of about twenty rods across a
wheat field and drove them from the
wall with sabres. Our loss was as tol-
lows:
Lieut.. W. c. Blaine, Co. NJ, I'd Indiana
Cavalry, killed.
Sergeant Charles Miller, Co. K, I'd In
diana Cavalry, killed.
Private l., Shaw, Co. A, I'd Indiana,
Cavalry, wounded.
Private John Dick, Co. A, End Indiana
Cavalry, wounded
Our loss in horses was heavy compar-
ed with the loss of men. never saw
men do better. All was anxious for the
fight 1t was impossible to find out the
enemy's loss, but we found at one negro
cabin that they had put the bodies of
nineteen into wagons. We took four
prisoners. Although every regiment in
the brigade was engaged more or less,
yet the loss fell on the I'd Indiana Cav
airy. Col Rob Stewart was in command
of the regiment, and when the charge
was made he was in front The band
halted in the rear at the time the charge
and played "Get out of the Wilderness. 3"
The body of Lieutenant Blaine was
sent to his wife in Goshen to-day; and
never was truer soldier or brave man
sent home to Indiana for his last resting
place Respected by all his officers, he
was beloved by all his men.

AN INcIDENT.-As the J. T. McCombs

Monarch has for some time been
aground, the latter fired blank cart

Combs paid no attention, in the next

Upon laying alongside the officers of
the McCombs learned that the officers of
the Monarch had received intelligence
that a scheme had been laid by the guer-
rillas along the borders of Kentucky to
seize the McCombs, run her down near
the Monarch, set her on fire and let her
float down on the ram to consume her.
This explanation was satisfactory to
the officers of the McCombs, and she
proceeded on her journey, glad she had

Whether it is the duty of the city au-
