This occurred at about SH g. m, or within
less than an hour after the fighting commenced.
The enemy now relinquished their entrench-
ridge about two miles to the rear, where they
commenced entrenchlng.
Our want Of familiarity with the country
rendered 1t necessary to advance cautiously,
or il might have been practicable to dislodse
them from that position also. All dark Ast
night our line Of battle had been satsfac tcffly
posted, and some anticipated that an advance
would be made during the night, but whether
1t took place l have no means of knowing.
The rebel troops supporting the captured
battery were Kershaw's South Carolina Brig
ade. The battery itself consists OF guns man
ufactured at West Point, and is supposed to
be the one captured in the attack on Hickman
Brigade, near DruTy's Bluff, some two months
ago. +
We lost less than dozen men in the charge
on the battery, and our entire loss during the
day will ha rdly exceed one hundred.

BOGUS REBEL DEsERTERS.

Among a number of prisoners brought to this
city to day from Fort Delaware, were two men
who were confined there for some time as de-
a day or two ago that they belonged to the
Union army Their names are Edwin Benton,
OF the 9th N. Y. artillery, and Duncan McPher-
son, Of the I'D N. Y. Benton. it appears, de-
serted his regiment at Woodbine on the Balt-
more and Ohio Railroad, and went to Gettys-
burg, where he gave himself up to the Provost
Marshal of that place, as a rebel deserter, and
was sent to Fort Delaware. "7
Mcpherson, in his affidavit states that he
deserted his regiment at Fredericksburg, on the
7th of March, and went to Aqua Greek, from
whence he was forwarded to this city as q
was committed to the Old Capitol, where he
remained until the 18th Of June, when he was
taken from the prison and transferred to Fort
Delaware Col. Ingraham committed Benton
and Mcpherson to prison, to await the orders
of Col. Wells, who will have the prisoner tried
by court.martial.

HARRISBURG, July 30.-The most expert.
enced military men at the post are convinced
that the invasion of the State is by large
army. 1t is also believed that the invasion is
of a character too gigantic to be regarded as a
mere raid.
The telegraph operator has left Shippers
burg. and the presumption is that the enemy
has thrown out strong advance parties in that
direction.
Since o'clock this morning we have had no
communication with Chambers burg. At that
hour the rebels entered and now hold the
place.
Major Gen. Couch is at Carlisle, directing
the necessary means Of defense. The details
of which cannot of course be alluded to.
The presumption is, however, that he will
be able to offer stern resistance to any ad-
vance that may be made in this direction.
The Governor has just issued the following
proclamation to the people Of Harrisburg:
PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, Har.
rsburg, July 3d. 1s6i.-The enemy have once
more entered Pennsylvania. They occupied
Chambersburg at 3 o'clock a. m. to-day, with
cavalry and artillery. A few hours will de-
velop their force and Intentions.
It lis probable their movements may be d.
rected against the city. In view Of such con-
tingency, therefore call upon the people Of
Harrisburg and vicinity to organize at once to
defend their homes. Arms and ammunition
will be delivered to each organized company.
upon application to the Adjutant General.
No muster into the service either Of the State
or the United States will be required.
(Signed) A. G.. CURTIN.
An immense town meeting is no " being held
in the court house, and the people are enroll
ing themselves for organization to defend the
city.
Adjutant General Russell has just issued an
order which is posted on all the newspaper
bulletin boards, to the effect that arms will be
issued to all reliable citizens.

rHE NEW RIBBED RAIp or INVASION

THE NEW REBEL RAID OR INVASION.
There is considerable discussion as to the
point where the rebels crossed into Mary.
land unobserved and penetrated into Pennsyl-
vania as far as Chambersburg without de.
lection.
They could not have gone by the way Of
Hagerstown, and though they might have
crossed At Williamsport and pushed on to-
wards Chambersburg by the turnpike road
through Greencastle, yet they could not have
escaped observation in taking that route. The
distance from Williamsport to Chambersburg
is about thirty miles.
The probability is that the rebels crossed at
Hancock, (the route taken by Bradley Johnson
in the late raid,) and from thence to Chambers
burg via Mercersburg and Greencastle.
At q late hour on Thursday night the cars
were running from Hagerstown to Chambers.
burg, but no passengers were allowed to pass
over the road, and the trains were only run
ming for the purpose Of carrying freight.
Communication between Hagerstown and
Frederick remained uninterrupted yesterday
morning, as letters mailed at Hage-stown yes
terday o'clock q. m, were received here to-
day.
Yesterday morning Hagerstown was still
occupied by Averill's and Coles cavalry, but
all the stores were closed and business entirely
suspended. No person was allowed to leave
Hagerstown in either direction without pass
from the military authorities.
No rebels had made their appearance on the
Maryland side Of river, between Williamsport
and Harper's Ferry, but it was reported at
Hagerstown that they were concentrating their
forces at Shepherdstown.

The mailboat Charlotte Vanderbilt arrived

On Thursday afternoon, in front of Peters.
burg, the rebels opened upon our forces from
their batteries. The batteries on our side re-
piled, and soon silenced those Of the enemy.
our mortars also opened upon Petersburg,
and continued to throw shells into the town
until late hour in the night. Several houses
were set on fire, hich must have caused no
little CONSERVATION in Petersburg, as the alarm
bells could be heard ringing in animated style
for considerable time.
The rebels are in momentary anticipation of
"hyst" from Grants mines, which thew he
lieve are designed to make a breach in their
line Of Notifications about Petersburg As
precautionary measure they are said to be
busily engaged constructing strong line of
defences within those threatened as they think
by Grants mining operations.

We learn from positive and reliable informa-
ton, direct from the front, of fierce and san
culinary fighting at and around Atlanta. The
fighting continued on Thursday and Friday.
resulting in great slaughter on both sidos. The
ith Corps sustained fifteen successive charges,
but repulsed the enemy every time, with heavy
loss. The goth Corps lost twelve hundred in
killed and wounded, but invariably drove the
enemy. The rebel General Stearns, who
figured quite prominently in Nashville at one
time, was killed in front Of the i0th Indiana,
and within few feet of their works. The en-
envy left their dead and wounded on the field.

REBEL GUKRRILLAs CROSS AT WHITES
FERRY.
A messenger who arrived here yesterday at.
ternoon from Muddy Branch, which place he
left yesterday noon, reports that some of the
enemy crossed the Potomac yesterday morn
ing at Whites Ferry, which is a few miles
below Monocacy, but in what numbers was
not known. 1t is believed that it was nothing
more than brief chicken. stealing expedition
by aounted guerrillas.
LATER.
The following, received since the above was
written, refers apparently to the same rebel
demonstration:
Yesterday morning, about IL o'clock, q small
detachment of rebel cavalry, numbering per.
haps fifty or seventy five men, crossed the Po-
tomac into Maryland at Whites Ford, a short
distance above Edwards Ferry. Their inten-
ton was doubtless to intercept one of our
wagon trains, but after ING Iiring OF the farm
ers il there were any Federal troops in the
vicinity. they returned to the Virginia side CT
the river without doing any harm further than
eobbling up few horses belonging to private
individuals.

bend that any considerable rebel force can do
so and return south of the Potomac, except as
exchanged prisoners. Last night dispatch
