Lacquer of the capital; sturdy men, who, in
rain and sleet and through tathomless mud,
spent many Il weary month pertecling them
selves in all soldlerly accomplishments that
thereby they might upbear the banner of the
republic. Original and later volunteers for
three months or three years heroes Of Ma

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The special emer-
gency for which the militia of the District of

operate with and Join the army of the Poto-
mac, and is by order of Gen. Meade pushing
the regiments forward and as rapidly as they
are organized. The country may rest as
sured that he is doing all in his power. His
advance is already in contact with the enemy
aud aiding in the glorious result. Lee, so far
as known, holds all the passes in the South
Mountain leading into the Cumberland valley
from Gettysburg. This was done for the pur.
pose of reaching his trains now rapidly push
ing for Virginia. The mountain is full of dis
organized troops from Lees army, and they
are arriving within our lines every hour.
The troops under Gen. Pierce, formerly
Milroys command, arrived yesterday at
Chambersburg, and pushed nto Greencastle,
where they captured 600 prisoners, two wag.
onS loaded with plumber, and three pieces of
artillery. The prisoners were stragglers
making their way to the Potomac in company
with the wagon trains. A dispatch from near
Chambersburg this morning states that heavy
firing was heard in the direction of Hagers-
town. 1t is believed that Gen. French has
made an attack in that vicinity on the trains
moving towards Virginia Gen. Cameron left
this morning in company with number OF
surgeons for Gettysburg. There is no further
news from the army of the Potomac.
FREDERICK, Mp July 6-P. Mt is be-
lieved here that tho reported destruction of
the rebel bridges at Wiliamsport is a mis-
take, originating in the fact that the one at
Falling Waters, five miles below, was de-
stroyed. An officer who was with the party
which destroyed the latter, reports that the
party subsequently started to destroy those at
Willamsport, but finding Imboden there with
a large force, they abandoned the enterprise
Abont fifteen hundred rebel prisoners, in
o1uJ;D,r tbirtV.Savnp IVA louIS pt wounded
arrived here to-day by the Hagerston pike.
They included those captured Sunday by Kill
patrick.
Heavy tiringwaS heard yesterday afternoon
in the direction of Monterey and Greencastle.
1t is reported to have been caused by our pur-
suing forces pressing upon the enemy's rear
guard, who being strongly posted, checked
the pursuit.
HARRISBURG, July 6.-The authorities here
are in ecStacies over the news received
to-day. The Potomac river has risen six feet.
within the past As hours, which must neces-
sarty destroy all the fords, and there being no
bridges within striking distance of Lees army,
all means Of retreat must be cut off.
A dispatch, received tonight by Gen.
Couch, states that Gen. Gregg, with force of
Gen. Pleasanton's cavalry, had an engagement
to-day at Fayetteville, in which he took 1000
prisoners. Fayetteville is between Cashtown
and Chambersburg, on the east of South
Mountain. After disposing of his prisoners
Gregg took an interior road and advanced in
the direction of Greencastle. The militia
under Gen. Smith are in supporting distance,
and rapidly advancing up the valley.
The veteran troops of the army of the Po-
tomac moved yesterday in high spirits after
the retreating rebel army. What their posi-
ton is now is not known here. DeSerters

While every eye is strained in the direction
of Pennsylvania, and every ear aches with the
painful attention to the scarce hushed roar of
battle, let us not be unmindfulI of our du-
ties to the gallant men who, their task
achieved, will soon doff their armor and re-
sumo their wonted stations in the quiet pur-
suits Of civil life. Our own ffty-frst, which
SO nobly sprung to arms at the call of the
president, in the pressing exigency of the
country, which crowned the original act of
prompt patriotism by that late heroic tender
of voluntary service during the audacious in
vasion of the north, may shortly be expected
home. What reception shall it have? What
species of ovation shall be awarded to our
relatives and friends who come back from
months of exposure to hardships, disease and
death, risked, alas in too many instances
suffered, in our defence? The decision of this
matter is left, and there it may safely remain,
with the municipal committee and the repre-
sentatives of those militia organizations of
which the form alone fingered with us after
ranks had been depleted to constitute the
fifty first.
And yet it has occurred to the writer that
there is one method of augnenting the brill
liancy of whatever reception shall finally be
determined upon, of such eminent fitness that
its bare suggestion should secure its adoption.
1t is well known that there are, IN our city and
It's vicinity, very many soldiers of this war, Of
inherent classes and terms OF service, dis

The Fourth at the State Industrial
school for Girls at Lancaster.
Mr. EDroR-One object of a newspaper is
to spy out, gather up, and tell those who don't
know, what is going on in the world. few
of the excellent and enterprising men of your
city, and few out of it, are fully informed Of
the way in which the Fourth was celebrated
at this state institution. The number who
will see for themselves will be increased when
it becomes generally known how well indie
pendence day is wont to be done up here.
The day was appropriately observed; the prin-
ciples which it calls us to revive and cherish,
were remembered and honored. 1t would
have required great many re'crackers to
afford as much satisfaction to the same audi.
ence as they received from what their eyes
saw and their ears heard on Saturday after
noon.
Early in the afternoon visitors were shown
through the different houses, where they saw
how the families live. If the spies did not
bring back reports of a land flowing with milk
and honey, they gave graphic descriptions Of
tables loaded with tempting viands, tastefully

WHAT GEN DIN is DOING.
HIS MEN ARE AFTER LEE.


New York, July 6.-The Commercials
Fort Monroe letter of July 4th, says Gen.
Getty is a long way from White House, con-
stantly sending in prisoners, animals and
stores. OF the plans of Dix this correspond
ent says, while with small force he made
tented advance upon Richmond, he sent
heavy column in an entirely different direc-
ton, which will strike stunning blow to the
operations of Lees army. The destruction of
the bridges of the Virginia Central railroad
over the South Anna river vetoes the transit
of reinforcements to Lee via Fredericksburg.
The major portion of Beauregards army is
with Johnston, and the forces have been so
extensively withdrawn from Charleston, Mo-
bile, and Savannah as to leave them almost
defenceless. The Notifications at Richmond
are manned by clerks, and all the soldiers,
officers, luungers and others who were bri-
gaded and organized by the rebel Gen. Win

VARIOUS PARTICULARS FROM THE ARMY.
From letters and reports from the battle field
at Gettysburg we gather the following partic-
ulars. Col. John Goodhue of this city, serv-
ing in the 18th United States infantry, was
wounded. In the fight on Wednesday, Brig
adler General Schemmeltennig had bis horse
shot under him, and was taken prisoner by
the rebels. He found hiding place in a
house in Gettysburg, where he lay concealed
until the rebels were forced to leave the city,
when he came forth and again assumed COM
mand of his brigade. So close was Gen.
Meade to the enemy during EwelPs last as
eault' on Friday, that sixteen horses belong
ing to his staff were killed. Lieut.. Col.
Fowler OF the 18th Connecticut was killed.
Lieut.. Col A. d. Wass and Major E. Rice of
the 18th Massachusetts were wounded. Iieut
Col. Merwin Of the 9th Connecticut was
killed.

ST. LOUIS, July 6.-The dispatch sent west
this morning, purporting to be special from
Cairo to the New York Sunday Mercury,
relative to an engagement betweeo Johnston

that paper. No such dispatch was sent from
Cairo. 1t is more than probable that the dis
patch from Des Moines relative to the move
ments of Indians is also bogus.

BUFFALO, July 6.-There was difficulty
between the Irish steyedores and negroes this
afternoon, in consequence of the former try
ing to prevent the latter from unloading pro-
pellors. One negro shot an Irshman, it is
said, in self defence, which was the signal for
a general onslaught on all the negroes, seve-
raj of whom are reported killed and number
severely wounded. Tonight all is quiet, but
the longshoremen and slevedores are deter
mined to prevent the negroes from working
on the docks.
