THE LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 26--ll P. M.-The
rebel force which occupied Gettysburg to-day
was the division of Gen. Early, belonging to
| Longstreet's corps. This makes two corps
which are supposed to have crossed the PotO-
mac. The troops Of LongStreet are supposed
to have crossed at Shepardstown ford. When
Rhodes division OF EwelPs corps arrived at
Chambersburg, the operator was unable to es-
cape. He remained until Wednesday, when
he made his escape, by the way Of LOudon to
the Pennsylvania railroad, and arrived here
thousand and had five batteries, with Il
long train of wagons and ambulances. All
officers wear new uniforms, which had no
doubt been sent to HagerstOwn by rebel SYM
pathizerS, in anticipation of their arrival.
When he left, Gen. Johnsons division, be-
! longing to the same corps, was within six
miles of the town.
The soldiers believed they were going to
Harrisburg, and were very anxious to know
| how far off it was. The enemy have made
no effort to occupy Carlisle to-day, although
they were encamped within four miles of the
town. 1t has rained all day and the river is
rising.
