placing their whole army here. Prisoners report that Longstreet's and A. P. Hill's forces were much injured yesterday, and had many general officers killed. Gen. Barksdale, of Miss., is dead. His body is within our lines. We have thus far about 1,600 prisoners, and a small number yet to be started. " Dispatches about the fighting. Harrisburg, July 3. --A prominent citizen of Gettysburg, who left there yesterday morning on a pass issued by Gen. Ewell to go to Heidleburg, met Stuart, Fitzhugh Lee, and Wade Hampton, with what he estimated at 10,000 cavalry, who were moving in the direction of Gettysburg. Their officers told him that Lee had no intention of leaving Pennsylvania, but was going to remain here until his army was destroyed or victorious. The gentleman arrived here this evening, the enemy making no effort to retain him. Two militiamen from Susquehanna county were killed this evening at Camp Curtin by lightning. A dispatch from London this morning s

the river. Capture of Yankees by Cavalry. Brief mention has been made of the capture of 150 Yankees, by the Jeff. Davis Legion, under command of Lieut. Col. Martin. From facts since placed in our possession it appears that at the time referred to Col. Martin was in command of the 4th Virginia Cavalry (Capt. Chamberlayne) and the Jeff Davis Legion; and that the prisoners captured numbered 200, besides 30 mules and horses, 150 rifles and muskets. Assisted by one piece of cannon of Stuart's Horse Artillery, commanded by Lieut. Shaw, they drove to their gunboats, 50 of the enemy's cavalry and the Tammany regiment of the city of New York, killing three and capturing the same number. Two- thirds of the prisoners and all the miles were taken within range and sight of the Monitor and another gunboat, said to be the Galene, lying at Haxall's, on James river. On another occasion, Lieut. Fisher, of the Legion, with fourteen men, assisted by Lieut. Yager of the 10th cavalry, with tw

in the highest degree ingenious. It was generally believed that Jackson, after crushing Fremont and Shields, was to march into the enemy's country and transfer the war to his own fireside. Means were taken to encourage that belief, and one of then was to send heavy reinforcements to the Valley. When these had reached their destination, and everybody was expecting to hear the sound of Jackson's cannon on the Susquehanna, the public were electrified by the magnificent reconnaissance of Gen. Stuart. From that reconnaissance Lee learned all that he wished further to know, and while the public was still discussing the utility of an operation so full of hazard, the news arrived that Jackson had sent to Lynchburg for all the cars, that he was at Staunton, that he was at Gordonsville, that he was at Louisa Court-House, that he was at Hanover Court-House, with all his army. The truth then burst upon the public in its full effulgence. The enemy were to be attacked in flank and rear by J

Daring Adventure. We learn that Gen. Stuart has performed another of his brilliant scouts in rear of the enemy's lines and succeeded in successfully shelling the Yankee transports at "North Bend, " on James river below Charles City C. H. The party consisted of the 1st company of the Washington Artillery, Capt Squiers, commanding, a Parrott section of the Loudoun Battery under Capt. Rogers, and one piece of Stuart's horse artillery, with a small cavalry support, the whole being in charge of Col. Lee; and having reached the desired point on the river bank, under cover of the night, they opened fire last Monday morning on the enemy's transports coming up with reinforcements and supplies for McClellan's army. The first transport was disabled and driven back, and as soon as the position of our artillery became known, the enemy brought up his gunboats and shelled them at a desperate rate. Managing, however, to avoid their range, our boys waited till evening, when a large fleet

and one other General. whose name they did not remember, and Gen. Skirs was reported to them as having lost a leg. The Baltimore Sun, of the 1st, says that Stuart had a small engagement with a company of a laware cavalry on Monday last, at Westminster, in Carroll county, 20 miles from Baltimore, Stuart killed some 15, captuStuart killed some 15, captured 50 odd, and dispersed the remainder. He then went to Picketown, very near to Baltimore, and his close proximity created the wildest alarm in the Yankee dynasty. The militia were called out, the streets barricaded, the sale of fire arms was prohibited except under license, the stores closed, and the citizens forbidden to leav. Persons of Southern feeling were warned that any demonstration of sympathy for their cause would be followed by the severest penalties. On the Sunday previous, Stuart was reported by the Sun to have been within six miles of Washington city, in Montgomery Co., where he captured 1,200 mules, come 100 prisoners, and some arms. Th

s were understood throughout my whole line. In this age of progress we ought to improve upon old ideas, and I am confident that I can firmly claim that no such signal lights were used at Sebastopol. On the 28th, the rebel Generals Ewell and Stuart cut the railroad, destroyed my stores at Dispatch Station, White House, &c. We lost stores to the amount of forty millions of dollars. All this was part of my original scheme, long conceived and now handsomely executed. Neither the Russians normber of horses to transport these guns, and it is difficult to imagine how starving rebeldom can support such a burden. It is very gratifying to report the excellent health of my men, notwithstanding their fatigue. A report on the 1st July that Stuart's cavalry was in our rear, developed the fact that our untiring boys could march five miles in an hour! That they might march with greater ease, all threw away their knapsacks and overcoats, and several thousand threw away their guns. Nothing o

brigade and eight pieces of artillery. We had three pieces of the Washington artillery.--Those attacks on our wagon trains are of almost daily occurrence and unless they are strongly convoyed the passage from the river to the army is dangerous. Stuart (Gen. Jeb,) has penetrated almost within sight of Washington, and intercepted and captured about $480 wagons and 1,100 mules. The destruction of our pontoon bridge below Williamsport was owing to carelessness. It was guarded by an inadequat, S C; Lt.

l this has vanished into thin air. On Wednesday last, the Herald says, Kilpatrick and Buford met Stuart near Boonsboro', but were driven back to the town. This is all the severe fighting which is menindicated in my letter of yesterday (with one exception — namely, that none of the troops except Stuart's cavalry passed through Emmettsburg, or so far South as that place, but moved by the roads Nortcipline which Gen.

f loose earth thrown up against a continuous pile of rails taken from the fences, and indicated that it was not the intention of the rebels to fight very determinedly behind them. Lee had his headquarters yesterday and the day before at the house of Mr. David Atter, about two miles from Hagerstown, on the national road. Here he was in long and anxious conference with Smart till 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when, attended by a single staff officer and a couple of orderlies, he rode off Stuart himself did not leave till evening, his cavalry being employed in covering the movement to the river. The country in the vicinity of Hagerstown is literally eaten out. The family at whose house Lee and his aids quartered themselves have not so much as a pound of subsistence of any kind left. They were compelled to hand over their flour, bacon, vinegar, and everything else, and though Gen. Lee was himself appealed to, nothing availed against the hunger of the famishing gray-backs.
