The Position.

BALTIMORE, July ia special to the
American, dated Headquarters, Saturday
night, says the position of our army is es-
sentially unchanged. There has been no
fighting to-day. The enemy changed his
picket line this morning, giving rise to
the report that they had abandoned Funks-
town, which was magnitied into full
retreat over the river. They were still in
the same position and in full force. Our
pickets are now close to Funkstown and
all along the line and in immediate prox-
unity, and every thing seems ready Ell
ther to receive or deliver battle. The ar
my is in first-rate spirits and moved into
position with cheers. Our cavalry opera
tons continue very active and the rebels
are crcumscribed to a small extent OF
country for food and forage.
MISUNDERSTANDING, june ll.-An escaped
prisoner who left the rebel lines this morn
dng and arrived here this evening, says
the rebels were busily engaged in tortify-
ing and preparing for desperate resist
ance. Their main line of works are about
amile this side of Hagerstown. battle

Imuortaut from North Carolina.

NEwBERN. N. c.. July 9.-The legisla-
ture of North Carolina is now ln.eXtra ses-
sion on financial matters.
The Raleigh Register, rebel print, re-
ferrjnc to this extra session, says: There
is mischief brewing, which bodies nogood to
the Confederate cause. and the history OF
that legislature does not warrant us ia ex-
pecting anything but mischief at its hands.
The Register says the Governors organ,
the Raleigh Standard, is doing all in its
power to incite the people to rebel against
the Confederate Government.
Members of the Legislature from Castle
county have come out for a reconstruction
of the Union, and the Wilmington Journal
SAYS other members are intending to open
ly advance the same thing.
The expedition which left here on the
night of the Sd, returned on the morning
of the 7th, having successfully accom-
plished their object. Gen. Hickman, com
manding the infantry and artillery, at
tackled the enemy near Kingston, where he
compelled the rebels to remain, while Lieu
tenant Col, Lewis and Major Cole, with
sixteen companies of cavalry, proceeded on
to Kenoshville, ninety miles from New
bern, where he struck the Wilmington
railroad, which the cavalry destroyed for
a great distance by bending double the
sabre factory at Kenoshville, with many
thousand sabres, was destroyed; and also
an extensive knapsack factory, with some
10000 knapsacks,. Nearly every town
through which our cavalry passed contain
ed a rebel commissary depot, full of Con-
federate stores, which were also burned,
together with great quantities of cotton,
tar, pitch, resin, turpentine, horses, mules,
negroes and prisoners captured. A great
amount of Confederate money was captured
from tax collectors in kenoshville. and a
large amount from the tax collectors at
other places, amounting to nearly half a
million dollars, which, with an immense
amount OF property destroyed, is severe
blow TO the rebel cause in North Carolina;
all of which was accomplished without the
loss of man on our side. The enemy
were unable to meet our cavalry for want
of force

HagerstOwn Re.Occupied by the
Rebels.

CAvETowN, Md, July ii, via CHAM
BERsBURG 12.-Hagerstown was occupied
this morning about 8 O'Clock a. m. by Gen.
Kilpatrick's cavalry after slight resist
ance. The object of the enemy to re-occu-
py the town for so short space Of time
Is partially explained from the fact that
they removed from that vicinity large
amount Of fence rails, supposed to be used
in erecting Notifications between that place
and Williamsport.
The rebels are in large force in the town
of Williansport and on the Clear Spring
road. A reconnaissance made to-day by
Col Wynkoop and Capt. Baird's Cavalry
show that the rebels have strong picket
guard north and west of the town. The
armies of Meade and Couch are within a
few hours march of Lees army. Lees in
tentions will probably be more fully
known tomorrow
