Battle at Carlisle, Pa.

HARRISBURG, July 2
The last OF the rebels left Carlisle Yesterday
morning, and the town was occupied in the
afternoon by the Pennsylvania portion Of our
forces under Gen. Smith.
About 5 o'clock the rebel cavalry appeared
in large numbers, having come in on the York
road. A rebel officer sent in a flag Of truce
to Gen. Smith demanding the surrender Of the
town, which was refused. On the receipt of
Gen. Smiths reply the rebels opened on the
town with their artillery. The rebel fire was
promptly responded to by our forces, and the
firing continued with intervals until about 10
O'Clock, when the rebels tell back in the direc-
ton from whence they came. The rebels
burned the barracks, gas works and dwellings,
Many buildings in the place also suffered from
the rebel artillery, and the Court House was
struck several times. When the rebels opened
their fire on the town the excitement among
the citizens was very great. The women and
citizens fled in all directions and hid them
selves in cellars. Our loss was three killed
and wounded. The rebel loss is not known.
Previous to the retirement of the rebels they
sent another flag OF truce notifying the citi-
zens to leave as they intended to renew the
attack to-day. This morning the rebel pickets
are again in sight.

STRAWBERRY AND FLORAL FESTIVAL
The arrangements for a grand Strawberry and
Floral Festival, to be given at Mechanics
Hail. on July 4th, day and evening, are about
completed. The object is actually good one.
Madame Moterto, of California, lady of
wealth, social position and liberaity, who, be-
ing left without near relatives, has interested
herself to establish in several States, an asy-
lum for the orphans of soldiers of the Union,
made such during the presentwar. The pro-
ceeds Of this festival Largely augmented by her
own means, will be devoted to the establish
ment of such an institution in this State. Ii
is supposed that there will be some orphans
left without means Of support, whose parents
may have died, the one directly and the other
indirectly, by reason of the war, and the de-
sire of Madame Moterto is to provide for such
until they shall arrive at years of maturity, in
school to be established for the purpose.
The entertainments tomorrow, will consist
Of music, vocal and instrumental, by young
ladies and gentlemen in character, and a pro-
fusion Of refreshments of various kinds. 1t
is hoped that all interested in the object of the
festival, will send in their donations of money,
fruit, cake, &c. to the hall on tomorrow morn

NEW YORK. July 2.
York, Penn, was evacuated by the enemy
last evening.
A special to the Times, from Washington.
dated yesterday, says:-Parties arriving to-
night assert that Lee is nearer Frederick than
was supposed this morning, and that the rela-
tive positions Of the two armies is more COM
plicated than was indicated in yesterdays dis
patches. Lee is believed to be striving to
make Roadway in a southeast direction.
An extensive reconnaissance made beyond
the Notifications of Washington develope no
signs of the enemy. All have left for north
ern regions.
A dispatch to the Times, dated Wednesday
noon, says From the best information we
can obtain the rebels appear to be concentrat-
ing their forces, OH line running from CASH
town yesterday. They are ripping, stripping
stealing everything. Citizens report that they
burned twenty-five houses in Shippensburg a
couple Of days ago. In Gettysburg they took
everything that was left, most of the goods
having been sent away in advance. Our cav
airy received a glorious welcome in Gettys-
burg.
II looks at this hour as though the rebels
were preparing to clear from the State with
their plumber, or else to concentrate and give
us battle.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT SOUTH WAYNE
At IL NJ, Wednesday, Johnsonn e. Co.'s large
Shovel handle mandatory was discover
ed to be onhre, and all exertions made by the
workmen to extinguish it, were fruitless. As
the wind blew hard, the fire soon extended to
the flour mill, taking in its course new car
rage shop and Mr.. Raymonds buildings. 1t
soon spread TO the new brick block Of stores,
occupied by 4. Norris, destroying that, togeth-
er with his entire large stock of goods. From
the block it burnt all the buildings, includ-
ing seven stores, on the east side of the street
to Mr.. Johnson's residence. At this point IL
crossed the street to the hotel, DESTROYING
every building on the west side to the bridge.
The fire ragged with such fury that all the
goods and furniture that had been moved into
the street for safety, were destroyed. The loss
Is variously estimated at 100000 to 100000.
We learn that three men, including Mr..
Norris above mentioned, exposed themselves
SO much to the heat, that grave doubts are en-
tertained Of their recovery.
Several families are rendered entirely desti-
tute and homeless by this sad disaster. About
thirty buildings in all were destroyed.
The fire is said to have originated from the
careiessness of one Of the operatives in the
shovei-handle factory, who set fire TO pile
of shavings when the wind was high, then left
them and went TO his dinner. The wind blow
Ing directly towards the factory, that building
soon caught, and the flames rapidly spread
destroying about the whole OF the beautiful
village on that side of the stream. We do
not learn the amount of insurance upon the
property destroyed.

terrific fire from the enemy. 1t. Col Smith

The Rebels Driven from Carlisle.

NEW FORK, July 2.
The Herald's special dispatch dated Leba-
non, Penn, July I'd, says it is reported that
the rebels returned to the vicinity of Carlisle
and demanded the surrender of the town again.
Gen. Smith peremptarily refused. The rebels
sent in flag of truce inquiring il it was not
surrendered. On being refused they carried
out their threat by setting fire to three or four
houses which were burned, but injuring no
one. They were then attacked by Gen. Smith
and driven toward Shippensburg.
The Worlds Harrisburg dispatch says firing
was heard last night, which proceeded from
Carlisle, where Gems. Smith and Knipes's
forces surprised a body of Confederate troops,
who are said to have mistaken our cavalry for
theirs, and let us come upon them unprepared.
The fight became general and lasted from 0. 80
to 10 o'clock. Our forces numbered 5000 or
1000.
