tional rights of the people. The news,
therefore, is not entirely unexpected 1t
is intimated that the insurrection is one Of
formidable proportions
Harrisburg, June, 90.-A citizen who
left Carlisle at l l o'clock to-day states that
the rebel infantry, 1000 strong, with 40
pieces of artillery, left this morning for
Gettysburg, On his way he met nothing
but cavalry plckets. During the stay of
the rebels they occupied the barracks,
grounds and the most prominent of the va
cant buildings. Citizens were compelled
to furnish rations as far as their means
would admit. Rebel officers stated they
did not design to burn the barracks, as
they intended TO return but at three
o'clock in the afternoon loud explosion
occurred in that direction, and it is be-
lleved they were blown up Private prop
erty was generally respected, but shoe and
drug stores were cleaned out. Some paid
fer the goods in greenbacks and few in
| gold and silver 1t is believed the main
body Of the rebel army is in the neighbor-
hood of Shippensburg. They all state
their destination to be Harrisburg, but
thought it probable they might be com
PEELED to fight the Army of the Potomac
before accomplishing their object. The
danger to Pennsylvania and the North is
still imminent-everything depending up
on the encounter between Lee and Meade.
If our army should be defeated we have no
hope except in the large armies to be raised
in the North
New York, Jufy IA special dispatch
to the Tribune, dated Lancaster PA last
night, says: The rebels have fallen back
ten miles from Harrisburg General Couch
and staff crossed the Susquehanna to occu-
py the south bank of the river.
Meade occupied York and Hanover to-
pight, cutting the rebel lines in two. The
rebels are rapidly concentrating in the in
terror. Pleasanton makes great havoc on
the rear of the enemys trains.
Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
June 3Oth.-The Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road was opened last night. The train
which left this morning for Frederick and
Harper's Ferry, has gone through without
interruption
The rebel cavalry which attacked COM
pany Of the First Delaware at Westminis-
ter drove them toward Baltimore. 1t was
doubtless the advance guard of Fitzhugh
Lees cavalry leading the way across the
country to join the main rebel army in the
vicinity of York. The Delaware cavalry
made most excellent fight with sabers
and revolvers, until the enemy appeared in
overwhelming numbers. 1t is feared that
the greater portion of them were killed,

New York, July AT special meet
ing of the City Council last night, it was
resolved to put the State Militia Law in
force at once. Every citizen between Is
and As, not physically disabled, will be
organized in companies, to be subject to
the call of the governor in suck numbers as
he may require.
New York, July 1.-The Heralds cor
respondent, writing from Maryland Heights
June 2Sth, says: This place was visited
animation he issued an order for the evac-
uation of the place, and the destruction of
such guns and stores as could not be re-
moved Information was sent to General
Halleck of what was done, whereupon
Hooker received dispatch countermanding
the order, and saying the Notifications cost
too much to be given up unless under the
most urgent necessity. He lHalleck) con-
sidered Harper's Ferry the key to the pres
ent and future army of the Potomac.
Hookers comment upon this was "What
was the use of holding on to the key after
the door was smashed :" While on his
way back he received an order removing
him from command.

quirer has the following:
Jackson Miss June 25,--Colouel
Ryms, commanding the cavalry outside
Port Hudson, attacked Grierson in the rear
of Banks army yesterday, capturing so
prisoners and 81 wagons, putting the re-
mainder of the Yankees to flight.
MAxIMs ON MoNEY.-The art of living
easily, as to money, is to pitch your scale
of living to one degree below your means.
Comfort and enjoyment is more dependent
upon easiness in the detail of expen diture
than upon one degrees difference in the
scale. Guard against false association of
pleasure with expenditure-the notion that
because pleasure can be purchased with
money, therefore money csnnot be spent
without enjoyment. What a thing costs
a man, is no true measure what it is worth
to him; and yet how often is his apprecia-
ton governed by no other standard, as if
there was a pleasure in expenditure per Sc.
Let yourself feel a want before you provide
yourself against it. You are more assured
thatit is real want and it is worth while
to feel it little, in order to feel a relief
from it. When you are undecided as to
which of two courses you would like the
best, choose the cheapest. This rule will
not only save money, but also a great deal
of trifing indecision. Too much leisure
leads to expense because when man is
in want of an object, it occurs to him that
they are to be had for money, and he in
vents expenditure in order to pass the
time.
New MODE OF BLOCKADE RUNNING.
"A rebel letter says, the Federals have
adopted new mode of running the block
ade-tbat is, instead of taking in a cargo
in boat, they set barrels of provisions
adrift, and allow them float past the batter
les at Vicksburg, when they are fshed out
by the feet The trick has been discov-
cred by the Confederates, and their men
have gone to fishing, and the result, so far,
