Harrisburg. ,IuIv 7.

Two daily trains run to Carlisle, and
regular communication VIII be established
with York on Thursday.
Rebel prisoners continue to arrive here.
The following is from the evening 7ele.

Lee is said to certifying on South Noun
tain, fifteen rifles west of Gettysburg. The
army of the Susquehana, under Couch, is
cooperating with Meade in fine style, it is
directly threatening Lees forces. Troops
are constantly being organized at Camp
Curtin and forwarded to swell the force uD
der Couch.
Another rebel pontoon bridge over tho
Potomac is destroyed. The whole army
of the Potomac was in motion yesterday
morning. Trains south of Harrisburg are
reported filled with crowds of fugitive rebel
deserters, who are being gathered up by
our cavalry.
The army Of the Potomac is in better
co dition, so far as the ardor is concerned,
than when it fought and won The battle of
Gettysburg, and no doubt is entertained by
its leader, in his entire ability, not only to
conquer but to capture the main body of
the rebel force.
Meade's headquarters on Sunday were
at Creagarstown, Nd, fifteen miles north
of Frederick.

R9~ Confederate Money now, after two
years of sec, ssion, is worth in specie from
Is to II cents on the dollar; notin this
city, however, but in Richmond Charleston
and Savannah.
The reason why Continental money
was never redeemed, is to be found "a the
fact that the great masses Of the people to
whom it was paid had parted With It and
suffered the loss, and at the close of the
war it was in the hands Of a few people Of
wealth who had obtained it for a mere
song. To tax the people for the benefit
the holders was deemed greater injustice
than to let II sink where it fell. The sarne
destiny awaits Confederate money

ST. Paul, Mimi. July Z, 1859.

Indian camps are 70 be seen in Heane-
pin county, and small party were discov-
cred last Friday, eight miles from Mime
apolis and eighteen from st. Paul. They
have no considerable force, but, neverthe-
less, excite great apprehension, and there is
danger of another stampede Of settlers sim
liar to last year.
They did not approach so near us dur
mo the raid last summer.
Details of the Indign murders, mention.
ed in my dispatch Of the Sd, show they
were attended with the usual barbarity.
In view of these outrages and the increas-
ing excitement, Adjutant General Malm-
roos has issued an order, to-day, calliug
sixty day volunteers to hunt Indians.
They are to be divided into squads Of not
less than five, and are to operate on their
own hook, each man arming and subsisting
himself. They receive Sl.5o day. Gen.
Malmroos also offers bounty Of $25 for
each scalp Of a male Sioux, delivered az
his office.
Our army is Flooding over the plains
where there are no Indians, and this is con-
sidered necessary to protect the country IN
the rear.

sdered more doubtful, although be remains

Railroad Consolidation.

We are told that nearly all the railroads
in the state have affected, or about to affect
a consolidation, so as to operate under the
management of one and the same company.
A lengthy article appears in a Milwaukee
paper, which shows up the scheme in light
not very favorable to the public veal. II
is alleged that the new owners of these roads
have become possessed Of them for mere
nominal sum, compared with their cost, and
that tits the purpose to 50 "water" the stock
as to make dividends, by increased freight,
&c, annually double the actual cost to The
new owners.
The nominal cost to the new proprietors
is summed up in this wise:
The Western Division Of the Ia Crosse was
Moftrare aeht of Eastern Division 100000
The ii. 4 r du Chen r. r. ostensbly cost the
Horizon road sold at auction for $4,000
Watertcwn roads stands at 100000
Making grand total oc 1910 900
But, it is alleged that this is the amount
paid in bonds, which have been purchased
at prices varying from 5 TO rs cents on the
dollar. Probably the cost to the present
proprivtors was not more than 40 cents ay-
erage on the dollar, making the actual cost
on this basis, at $5,c6s,000. 1t is also al
legged that the stock of this new eonsolida-
ton is to be ''watered" until it expands 10
twenty millions Of dollars, and in order 10
make this worth sou in Wall strooi, it
must pay 10 per cent. dividends. This
wond Dive net profit Of two millions, or
about one third tie actual cost to the new
owners, annually. 1t is difficult TO conceive
how such result could be arrived at with
out increasing the freights and fare upon the
several roads, to an extent absolutely bur-
densome to the patron public.
1t is said that negotiations are pending
to bring into consolidation all the 9th
err roads in the state, to be worked un-
der the same system, thus creating cde
oftae most gigantic monopolis on this con-
tinert.
Such are the facts as they appear to US.
We may be in error as to the ultimate ex-
tent of the aims and ends Of those who con
s5itute this monopoly. If SO, we would be
the first to correct, but if we were not (and
we cannot see how we can be wholly in er-
ror) then somebody has provoked an earth
quake that in its subsequent commissions,
will shake this state from In Coutrele to
Salamander bar. We are the fast friends
to each and every railroa@ IN the state, and
while they keep within the puryiew Of their
original charters,we will cryGod speed them
but when they attempt to control the purse
and politics Of this state, they will find a
hornets nest at every corner We shall
wait for further development before we
unfold our. plethoric budget. Madison

Harrisburg, July 7-6 P. NJ.

Information received here, proves beyond
doubt the CT .inued retreat of the reb-
els towards Hagerstown and Williamsport,
with the intention Of crossing the Poto-
mae.
Their wagon trains are all in front and
are being ferried across slowly in two flat
boats. The Potomac is very high and full,
and they cannot cross, their only pontccI
bridge having been destroyed.
A large force of infantry prevented the
capture Of Williamson, by q n. Buford, with
his cavalry.
Our army is fast following them up.
A great battle will be fought before they
succeed in getting away. This fight, it is
hoped, viii result in the capture Of the whole
or dispersion of Lees army.

COpPERHEAD AUDACITY.-The most re-
markable example Of unblushing audacity
and brazen inlpudence perhaps that has oc-
Cured since the war commenced, was the
declaration Of the Chicago Times proprie-
tors in the handful they Issued the morn
ing after their traitorolls sheet had been
suppressed by order Of General Burnside.
They appealed to the public, and declared
that their paper, which had been suppress

The Doom Of Him who Opposes this War.

John Brough, in bis speech at Marietta,
Ohio, pictures the fate ola Democrat WHO
opposes this war, thus:
My main desire to-day has been to sat
isfy you that there is but one duty or one
obligation for every man 10 take upon
himself and fulfill in the state Of the coun-
try that reigns at present | may hwe
failed to do so, and if SO let me make a
suggestion to my political friends as to
party, and wish you to bear it in mind.
Go lack 70 the record, and take care that
you do not make the same fatal mistake.
1t is that no party ever made opposition TO
war that was not rent ID twain and tore to
pieces thereby. You cannot blot the rec
ord out; you may try il but it will stick
to you; you may oppose this war, but |
am not gong along with you. The old
Tories Of tie Reyolution-they are all
gone, now, but their records remain, and
the odium belonging to them attaches
even to their descendants. The old mem
cries Of the Hartford Convention are bard
" spoken of with decent respect; and /
know Of one case where the obloquy,
though less than that which should result
under the present circumstances, descend
ed TO the second generation, keeping him
from places Of honor and trust, simply be-
cause oil the fact that he father had been
member OF the Hartford Contention,
chung to him like the shirt of Nessus. In

or not
