The flag of truce beat which arrived at City Point Monday night brought New York dates of the 27th. We are indebted to Hon. Robert Ould for files of Northern papers. They report that Gens. Lee and Longstreet crossed the Potomac, after passing through Winchester. At Harrisburg, on the 25th, the "strong, able bodied men" were flying from the city, and it was proposed to declare martial law to put a stop to the exodus and make the cowards fight. The country people arriving there seemed to have no idea of fighting, but were loud in their denunciation of Lincoln for not sending troops there to protect them. Among the sudden departures announced was Carncross & Dixey's negro minstrels, who were advertised to play a week, but fled on Thursday, when the rebels were advertised to make their first appearance. In Carlisle, Pa., on Thursday, the inhabitants were horrified by hearing the rebel drum corps, a few miles distant, beat the "assembly" at 8 o'clock in the morning. The citizens immediately took to their heels, and were only beaten in the race to Harrisburg by the "contrabands," who are touchingly described as reaching that place with their feet swollen and bleeding. The Yankee paper says the scene was "enough to touch the most obdurate heart." It has no word of sympathy for the white refugee.
The latest from Harrisburg.
A dispatch from Harrisburg, dated the 26th, says matters are more quiet there. The rebels were still in the vicinity of Carlisle, but moving slowly, because (the Yankees say) they are stopping to seize horses and mount their infantry, and thus facilitate their retreat in case of a disaster. Gen. Kuipe estimates the force of the rebels at 10,000 strong, and evacuated Carlisle because he was not strong enough to meet that number. General W. F. Smith commanded the Yankees on the South side of the Susquehanna. The work on the fortifications is progressing rapidly, and the citizens are organizing into companies to serve in the rifle pits. Four companies of heavy artillery had arrived from Rochester, N. Y.--They had enlisted for the war. It had been raining in Harrisburg for 18 hours, and the Susquehanna had risen 20 inches, but not too high to be forced by cattle. The following are the latest telegrams from Harrisburg.Harrisburg, June 26--9 P. M.--Hundreds of horses are being driven over the bridges of the Susquehanna, followed by men, women, and children, the defenceless inhabitants of Cumberland Valley.
Gov. Curtin has received information that the rebels occupied Gettysburg to-day with ten regiments of infantry, and with cavalry and artillery. The operator at Gettysburg, while sending the dispatch to Gen. Couch, was forced to leave before finishing it to avoid capture.
It is believed that this force intends to strike the Northern Central Railroad either at Hanover Junction or York, which is distant about 30 miles.
The Governor has also received information that the rebels hold all the passes of South Mountain.
Harrisburg, June 26--11 P. M.--It has rained all day, and the river is rising.
The rebel force which occupied Gettysburg to day was the division of Gen. Early, belonging to Longstreet's corps.
This makes two corps which are supposed to have crossed at Shepperdstown Ford.
When Gen. Rodes's division, of Ewell's corps, arrived at Chambersburg, the operator was unable to escape. He remained until Wednesday; when he made his escape by the way of London, to the Pennsylvania Railroad, and arrived here to day.
They numbered 12,000, and had five batteries of artillery, with a long of ambulances and wagons. All the officers were new uniforms, which had, no doubt, been sent to Hagerstown by rebel sympathizers, in anticipation of their arrival.
Gen. Johnston's division was also within six miles of the town. The soldiers believed they were going to Harrisburg, and were anxious to know how far off it was.
At headquarters to night they inform me that the rebels appear to be concentrating in the mountain passes of the Blue Ridge and its spars. They seem to fear advancing with Hooker in their rear; but are living on the country which they now occupy.
Two rebel cavalry, taken yesterday near Chambersburg, report the rebels advancing under Gen Ewell into Pennsylvania with 28 regiments of infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 20 pieces of artillery, chiefly heavy guns, and that they send out small parties to bring in live stock. A column, 6,000 strong, was sent to Mercersburg, with eight pieces of artillery — Half of them have marched to McConnellsburg. Some of the border men are reported sympathetic.
A dispatch from Carlisle, at 6.45 P. M., 26th June, states that the rebels have all the mills within their reach grinding corn, etc., for them.
The Confederate troops in Maryland.
The following telegrams from the operator at Frederick, Md., are dated the 26th:‘ I have just returned from the vicinity of the South Mountain battle-field, 13 miles distant from here. From persons who left Boonsboro' this afternoon, I learn that the rebels have all left that place.
’ Anderson's division, of Longstreet's corps, which arrived there on Wednesday night, and encamped, left on yesterday morning, taking the Waynesboro' road to Chambersburg.--The force is estimated at from 7,000 to 10,000, infantry, cavalry and artillery, accompanied by a large wagon train.
The whole of Longstreet's corps had crossed the Potomac, and is advancing in different directions into Pennsylvania.
There were but few rebel troops at Hagerstown yesterday. All gone into Pennsylvania.
General Lee and staff are on this side of the river.
A proclamation from Gen. Ewell
The Herald publishes the following proclamation from Gen. Ewell:
Headq'rs second corps army of
Northern Virginia,
- 1st. The sale of intoxicating liquors to this command, without a written permission from a Major General, is strictly prohibited.
- 2d. Persons having liquor in their possession are required to report the fact to the Provost Marshal, or nearest general officer, stating the amount and kind, that a guard may be placed over it, and the men prevented from getting it.
- 3d. Any violation of paragraph one, of this order, or failure to comply with paragraph two, will be punished by the immediate confiscation of all liquors in the possession of the offending parties, besides rendering them and their property liable to seizure.
- 4th. Citizens of the country through which the army may pass, who are not in the military service, are admonished to abstain from all acts of hostility, upon the penalty of being dealt with in a summary manner. A ready acquiescence in the demands of the military authorities will serve greatly to lessen the rigor of war.
The Passage of Ewell through Maryland--Gen. Lee's Designs of Washington.
A telegram from Washington, dated the 25th, says that Ewell's forces passed through Hagerstown on Tuesday. The head of the column entered the town on Tuesday morning and moved directly through to Pennsylvania. The telegram adds:‘ The rear column, understood to belong to Ewell, did not pass through the place until that night. This force was estimated to be from 20,000 to 25,000 strong. The troops did very little damage besides seizing all the horses they could find. Our informant says that when he left Hagerstown yesterday morning it was understood that Longstreet, in command of the right wing of Lee's army, was then crossing the Potomac below Williamsport. The main body of A. P. Hill's forces, comprising the centre of Lee's army, was understood yesterday to be somewhere between Winchester and Martinsburg, moving towards the river. Today we have no doubt that the whole of Ewell's column is in Pennsylvania, not far from Chambersburg.
’ The gentleman who saw Ewell's troops says they had with them a very large number of wagons. From this fact it is inferred that they intend to gather all the supplies they can find. So far as Gen Hooker's position is concerned it is sufficient to say that he is neither ignorant of the whereabouts of the enemy nor inactive himself.
There are strong indications to-night that Lee has not only achieved the grand project of massing his strength on this side of the Potomac, but that he is actually within a short distance of Washington, having moved a considerable force from Shepherdstown and Antietam fords down the tow-path of the cannel, or else along the inner roads from Boonsboro' and Middleton, to the vicinity of Poolesville, Rushville and Rockville. From these points he has direct access to the rear of Washington, and can by an expert movement, destroy the railroad between the Capital and Annapolis Junction, unless he should underrate the force which it is thought has been concentrated to oppose him in this design. A prominent transportation company is to-day refusing to receive valuable articles for shipment between Baltimore and Washington. If the enemy has gained a position of so much importance upon Hooker's rear, there is cause for apprehension concerning the safety of Tyler's force, which has been holding Maryland Heights. Although it is hardly probable that Tyler has been captured, it is possible that his communication with the Army of the Potomac in Virginia, and with the force under General Schenck, have been broken. A flank movement on the part of Gen. Hooker across the three lower fords may result disastrously for the enemy, by isolating his right from his new base of operations upon the upper Potomac.--Whatever truth there may be in the report of Lee's proximity to Washington, there is still opportunity for repelling his further advance.
Imboden taking possession of Cumberland, Md — conduct of the rebels — the discount on Confederate scrip.
Imboden's cavalry took possession of Cumberland, Md, on the 17th ult., and the Cumberland Union gives the following account of his proceedings there. It will be seen that more calico can be bought in the Confederacy for a $50 Confederate note than can be purchased in Maryland:On Wednesday morning early, June 17, our eyes were greeted with a battle array of cavalry and artillery, drawn up on a hill to the east of and commanding the city. Two discharges of their cannon soon convinced us that we were in the power of the enemy, and sent the worn out cavalry and remaining railroad trains "skedaddling" to points of safety. The stores were speedily closed up, and our business places soon assumed a Sabbath aspect. Presently two gray-backs, bearing a flag of truce, appeared on Baltimore street. This was responded to by a deputation of citizens, with a similar flag, headed by Valentine A. Buckley, Esq., acting Mayor. The result of the consultation was that the citizens and all private property was to be strictly respected, and that all necessary articles taken were to be paid or receipted for. In a short time the enemy entered the city, their first business, apparently, being to secure all the horses they could find, which was a very small number, and they of an inferior quality, the precaution having been taken the day previous to remove the most valuable ones. Boots and shoes, hats, dry goods and clothing, were called for, and several of our merchants opened their to supply the demand, receiving in payment for their goods Confederate scrip at a heavy discount. We saw one store clerk exhibiting a $50 bill which he had received for ten yards of calico.
The conduct of the Confederates throughout was gentlemanly, but they were evidently uneasy while in our city, and one or two panics started them to their saddles. At about half-past 10 they hastily retired from the town, and took their departure for parts unknown, and thus ended the first occupation of Cumberland by the rebels, consisting of Col. Imboden's cavalry, about four hundred and fifty strong, with two pieces of artillery.--Brig Gen. Kelley and staff arrived in town via Bedford, during Tuesday night, and took the early Wednesday morning train for New Creek, which had proceeded but a few miles up the road when it was discovered that the track had been torn up. The train returned to Cumberland only to encounter the force which commanded the city from the hill, but when the two shells were discharged the train made its escape by the Mount Savage and Frostburg Railroad. Gen. Kelley had previously left the train and taken a horse. On Thursday morning the business places in town, with two or three exceptions, were opened. Rumors of all kinds were in circulation, and the public mind in a feverish, unsettled state.
Intelligence has reached the city that Imboden's cavalry are committing extensive depredations to the railroad and canal property a few miles below us. On Thursday evening a force of Federal cavalry, from New Creek, rode into town, and were received with cheers from the populace who thronged the streets.--They immediately set to work to hunt up straggling members of Imboden's cavalry, who were ascertained to be abiding here with their friends, and succeeded in securing several of them. Rumors of large forces, both Federal and rebel, being in our vicinity, are in circulation, but no definite information can be obtained.
The Northern press on the invasion — the celerity of Lee's movements — Hocker Foiled — will the rebel General be bagged?
Our Northern files contain a number of speculative articles on the invasion. One that we find in the New York World, of the 26th, is a very good epitome of the sentiments expressed in all of them, and we publish it entire. We may preface that the New York Tribune says that the decisive battle is at hand, and concludes, "If Lee can conquer us, so be it." The following is the World's article:‘ The panic which yesterday caused a general suspension of business in all the great cities of Pennsylvania, of course precludes the idea that the people of that State are calm and trustworthy judges of the military situation. But whether they do, or do not, form a correct estimate of the magnitude of the immediate peril, there are good grounds for supposing that the rebel General intends something far more serious than raids into Maryland and Pennsylvania. When his plan comes to be developed, it will probably appear that this unexpected campaign is meant by General Lee to be the grand strategic operation of the war. The reasons for attributing to him a large design in his present movements seem perfectly conclusive. --When, with a quietness and celerity which completely surprised General Hooker, Lee transferred his army from Fredericksburg to the valley of the Shenandoah, had it been his intention merely to hold that valley as a new base, and to send out from it, during the summer, foraging parties and cavalry raids into the free States, the forces he had with him on the South bank of the Potomac would have been more than adequate to those objects. Once in the valley, his flank is protected by the long barriers of the Blue Ridges, and except for an active offensive he had no need of the heavy reinforcements he has caused to be sent him from the whole Eastern interior of the Confederacy. Accounts so circumstantial, and from such various sources as to preclude doubt, concur in representing that there has been a great and continuous movement of rebel troops northward for the last three or four weeks. Lee's army is probably fifty or sixty thousand stronger than it was when it stood face to face with Hooker, on the Rappahannock. Clearly, this active concentration of all the disputable forces of the Confederacy, to the extent of nearly denuding the Southern cities, means something more important than the selection of a new base for the more convenient feeding of the rebel army. Whatever the particular plan may be, the rebellion is evidently gathering up its whole strength for a supreme effort in a desperate offensive campaign.
’ The first advance to Chambersburg was doubtless a feint intended to alarm the Administration for the safety of Pennsylvania, and cause it to detach of Hooker's army to assist in repelling the apprehended invasion. The object was probably to divide the army of the Potomac, and then fall upon and defeat its weak section. This design miscarried. Generals Halleck and Hooker seem to have adopted the hypothesis that Lee will not play so venturesome a game as to throw a large force into the Northern States while Hooker's whole army remains on the South side of the Potomac; or that, if he should have the hardihood to take this bold step, they can get into his rear and prevent his return; or, in the jargen so much in vogue in radical circles last year, "bag him." Hooker would, therefore, seem determined to keep his army together, or within mutually supporting distance, and to hold it on the South side of the Potomac, with a view to operate on Lee's flank or rear, if he gives an opportunity. If Lee chooses to advance into Pennsylvania, General Halleck seems willing that he should go, believing that he can never get back.
Gen. Lee, if we may trust the latest intelligence, seems to have divined the Washington strategy, and seeing that he is likely to encounter no immediate formidable opposition north of the Potomac, has lately crossed the river with a powerful force. It may be that he still prefers to accomplish his first object of dividing Hooker's army and beating it in detail. But if Hooker still keeps it together on the south side of the Potomac, in spite of this formidable menace, it will be in Lee's power, by a rapid movement, to seize the railroads and isolate Washington. If this is accomplished, it will be no longer in Hooker's power to avoid a battle in a position of Lee's own choosing; for the Government cannot afford to have a rebel army encamped between Washington and the Northern States. Whether, with Washington out off from immediate support from the loyal States, Gen. Hooker would derive any advantage from getting in Lee's rear, would depend entirely on the result of the ensuing battle. If, under such circumstances, Lee should be beaten, it would be equivalent to the annihilation of his army; but if, on the other hand, Hooker should be beaten, the strategy on which he and General Halleck would seem to be acting would prove a dead failure. If matters come to that pass, both parties will play for a mighty stake; it will be either the loss of Washington or the loss of Lee's army.
General Lee is too able a strategist to take this risk until other resources have failed; and he may not for some time with a view to draw a part or the whole of Hooker's army into a disadvantageous position.--That he is courting a battle with Hooker, that he will sooner or later bring it on, and that he means it shall be terribly decisive, is evident from the magnitude of his preparations and the nature of his movements. If Hooker allows him to remain long on the north side of the Potomac without disturbing him, he will accomplish immense mischief. Considering the natural advantages of the country, the great strength of Lee's army, and his prudence an a General, his communications are probably well protected. But if Hooker should really get in his rear, that will amount to little if he leaves Lee to ravage the free States and spread terror among the inhabitants. That Lee can easily subsist his army in a country abounding in cities and villages in which there are large stocks of flour and provisions, and in pastures full of grazing cattle, admits of no doubt. --Ammunition he will not want in large quantities until he has occasion to fight a battle; and he doubtless carries enough with him to serve his uses if he should be victorious. If he should abandon all care for his communications, he can compel Hooker to fight him on ground of his own choosing, and thus increase his chances of success. We concludes, therefore, that while there is no reason for panic or despair, there is ground for serious apprehensions. Unless the country has been grossly misinformed, Washington is impregnable on the South side. If it should be assaulted on the North, and Hooker should be too late for its rescue, everybody, will be of opinion that a great mistake was made in not trusting to the fortifications, and transferring Hooker's army into Maryland to meet Lee at the threshold, and relieve the loyal people of Pennsylvania and Maryland from the agencies of flight and terror. If Lee is "bagged," it will indeed be a glorious affair; but security is better than an uncertain chance of glory, and; considering who the opposing Generals are, we are compelled to think it would have been more prudent to have prevented the invasion, and kept the rebel army on rebel territory.
The New York Herald, discussing the way in which Lee out-generally Hooker, says:
‘ Thus, by a bold and rapid movement of the rebel General, the theatre of war in Virginia has been transferred northeastward from the Rappahannock to the Potomac, and even to the Susquehanna. Lee has successfully achieved the most difficult and dangerous operation in war — a flank movement in presence of the enemy. Had Hooker been on the alert he could have inflicted upon him in his march irreparable damage, and driven him back in confusion. By moving on the chord of the are, with his fine cavalry he might have seized the gaps in the Blue Ridge and assailed Lee's flank, cutting his army in two, or he could have destroyed his trains and chopped up his rear. But Lee, without any considerable loss, has succeeded in making a circuit around the right flank of the Union army and getting in the rear of Washington, while Hooker, we believe, is still in the front of the Federal Capital. We were told that the cavalry battle at Brandy Station, near the Rappahannock, more than a fortnight ago. would defeat the purpose of Lee and prevent invasion. It has not done so.
’ The New York Times has the following:
‘ While the loyal men of Pennsylvania are filled with mingled dismay and shame in the presence of the vile horde of rebel invaders, these Copperheads welcome them with undisguised pleasure, fraternize with them, supply them with all desired information, conduct them to the hidden property of loyal neighbors, and in every possible way short of actually enlisting in the rebel ranks, help them on in their hostile work. If to "give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States" constitutes treason, as the Constitution declares, these Pennsylvania Copperheads make themselves as complete traitors as Jeff. Davis himself.
’
The change of scene in Baltimore — do the rebels bring retribution with them!
A Baltimore correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on the 23d inst., comments upon the extraordinary change in affairs which has taken place. His reflections on the retribution likely to occur are very apropos:‘ The scenes witnessed in Baltimore to-day are in striking contrast to those which were taking place here two years ago, or even one year ago. Then the streets were filled with troops, newly raised in the Northern States, and all marching towards the South. Then it was hoped that the rebellion would speedily be quelled. At all events it was distinctly understood that the war was to be fought on Southern soil, and any man who had hinted at the possibility of the rebel troops marching against Baltimore would have been denounced as a traitor. To-day, so imminent is the peril which is supposed to menace Baltimore from the rebel army, that the most urgent appeals are made to the people by the Governor, the Mayor, the City Council, the military authorities, and the newspapers, to turn out to work on entrenchments which are being hastily erected for the defence of the city, and to enlist in the various military organizations.
’ The American calls upon the citizens, too, to contribute liberally for the support of the families of those who are working on the entrenchments, and to spur up unwilling contributors; draws a terrific picture of the city taken by storm, and given up to sack and pillage. After going the round of the entrenchments that are being thrown up on the North and West sides of the city, and seeing the thousands of men, black and white, engaged in the work — a work which is being carried on both day and night, I could not but ask myself the question, "Why is it that all this is necessary? Why is it that, after two years of war, the powerful and wealthy North has not been able to conquer the weak South, of whose starved and ragged soldiers we have heard so much! Why is it that we are now compelled to fortify our own cities against the rebel hordes that are advancing to sack and plunder them? Is the seat of war to be indeed transferred from the South to the North? Are Maryland and Pennsylvania to witness and to suffer the horrors and the devastation that have desolated Virginia? Is Baltimore to be bombarded like Fredericksburg? Is Harrisburg to be pillaged like Jacksonville, in Florida!
Rebel Doings in Maryland.
A letter to the New York Herald contains some information about the rebels in Maryland, given the writer by an eye witness. The letter says:‘ General Ewell came into Hagerstown on Tuesday in a carriage. This was the day the advance movement commenced, and doubtless Ewell took command. The refugee saw at Hagerstown a line of army wagons half a mile in length, going towards Pennsylvania. At Boonsboro' he saw a much larger number, all going in the same direction. These wagons were nearly all marked "U.S." on the sides, and were loaded with cooking utensils, knapsacks, flour, oats, and corn in the ear. My informant also states that long wagon trains were constantly passing northward through Martinsburg, all day Sunday.--He also saw droves of fat cattle driven south through Martinsburg, and large numbers of horses, the fruits of plunder in Western Maryland and Pennsylvania. The rebels have burned about three hundred canal boats on the Baltimore and Ohio Canal. They paroled the boatmen and drivers not to divulge any of their movements, and then released them, after taking possession of the horses employed in towing the boats.
’ My informant gave further information concerning the damage done to both the railroad and canal, which will be found in the statement made by below. The refugee saw, at Boonsboro', Major Gilmer, of the rebel army, riding General black horse, captured at Winchester.
The entry of the Confederates into Frederick, Md., is thus noted by a correspondent of the New York Herald:
‘ The inhabitants seemed frantic. Hundreds rushed towards the junction of Market and Patrick streets, many of them clapping their hands and otherwise expressing their joy at the appearance of the rebels. The majority of the people, however, evinced no pleasure at the visit. The ladies were particularly demonstrative, and showered expressions of sympathy upon our prisoners as they passed through the streets, while the victors caught harsh words right and left. A number of stables were broken open and the horses taken off, but no damage was done to any other property. No ill treatment was offered any one, and as darkness came on the tumult partially subsided.
’
Scenes at Chambersburg — how the rebels be Saved.
The rebels were not so mild in their manner when they entered the last time under Jenkins, as they were under Stuart. A correspondent of the New York Herald gives a description of the scene. At midnight a party of federates galloped into town, and the horse of one failing, his rider was made prisoner by the citizens. The body of the rebels being small, they retired for reinforcements, and returning, caught the citizens who had captured the men, and made them release them and pay for the horses and equipments. After the occupation of the town, the rebels were lying all about the pavements and on the doors, resting. They sat on their horses when mounted, says the correspondent, as if "they grew out of their backs." Gen Jenkins ordered all the private arms in the city taken possession of, as the citizens had fired on our troops. The stores were opened, and sometimes the Confederates paid for goods with Confederate money, and sometimes they — didn't.
