Iluijitumis Eiqitim; BY TYLER At ALLEGRE. tuuk>1)AY MORNING, JULY 2, 1803. COXFKUKliATKS IX PENNSYLVANIA. iien»ral Lie's army has occupied, without resistance, tlic flourishing town of York, the entre and capital of a great county which is the garden of Pennsylvania; situated on |t!v roiin ad on which Baltimore depends for i:« supplies. and within fifty miles of that citv. a!ui'"t due North. The intelligence of 1 the capture "f llarrisburg is not confirmed; i an i was at least premature. « The plans <>i Lee are still a secret to our ' email's, as well as to ourselves : whether he n.vitn* to strike for Philadelphia, or for , Bslnm-*re. and in cither case to cut off the raiir-yi communication of "Washington with ) :l;oNorth. ii> he has already with the West; 1 whether hi.- intention be to establish himself ; quietly iu the. richest part of the Keystone t State. and make its fertile valleys support his ] army, until he can force Hooker to a battle. 1 ro::.a]> in front of the fortifications of Wash-' in;*-':i: all this remains matter of conjecture for the present. One thing, however, is plain. General I.ee's movements are directed not to indiscriminate plunder aud devastation, but »the winuiug of victory: aud victory will * leave all Maryland and the best part 6f Pennsylvania absolutely iu his power, to levy regular contributions upon the country.to burn ori) ransem the towns and cities at his pleas- ' ur>'.to free Maryland and Baltimore, and to ' strike a blow right at the enemy's head in Washington. 1: i- true the enemy's country deserves no 1 - vticraiiou at taar V-dcaKt' p. adi "U" vnatc like the Stony. Arabia, would be -r.lv fating retribution; but the nattiral deer- :o bring home to the foe some portion of that desolation which lie has visited upon us, atiut. i'..r the present, give way to the necessity strategy. In the meantime, our good '" afedorate boys are living like the sons of sing-. We wish them a very good appotite, and only apprehend that they will not wish t 'Ca.. i.ack to us at all. They will want «*:tle in that land flowing with milk and honey, where our rose-colored notes will buy s:x times as much as they will do at home, and where men use sugar with their coffee, n,d ...ffoe with their sugar. The country r-vtd-' id Pennsylvania. it seems, are tolera- My indifferent to all this. They are not rushing t> arms, as was expected ; but wait for Nv'.v Y< rk troops : and, indeed, seem not too 'vli'.'itou- for the arrival of those saviours.. They want no more than pood prices for their produce, ;utd are wisely content with Confederate money, which, indeed, is too good for th'.n, being quite pood enough for much better tuea. This lavish expenditure of Southern ai'wy in Pennsylvania also will have two g.>i -tf-vts: it will help to deplete our curIren.w within the limits of the Confederacy; Ju'i it will give to sonrc of the Pennsylvania^ a jmsitive interest in sustaining Confederate credit. They cannot do a better thing : th-'ir own interest than to suffer our troops it --. iipy all their towns, as they have oceuYork, "without resistance." 1IARRISBCRO NEWS. The llarrisburg correspondent of the New V rk "Times." of date June 24th, writes a ai and gloomy account of the prospects of toe Capital of Pennsylvania, lie says that it i-n.-w credited at llarri#burg that the Coni-lerate forces now threatening llarrisburg tare been ascertained *to aiumbcr from thirty t'hrtv thousand men under Gen.

They do not come up to the crisis. ( jjja us reasons arc assigned for this, but it . fl to mc they arc all supcrlieial. I have- . B ^'-ly explained how much trouble and con- i lias arisen from the -inaccurate and di- ( fl 'frVtiiaraetcr of the orders under which the < Hj tr.:, vrcre enlisted. It may also be true that , Hjfl ^'Woplc do not share the anxiety and alarm j eJjJ (<..?, Curtin, believing hiui to bo impulsive ( : credulous. But these are minor matters.

I went out and followed fl l;i£ T. y were all soldiors of tho war of 8 8 they bore was in the battle of V TON. Trenton, in 177-1. They were members of the Soldiers' Association of 1X12, of lianisburg, and went in a body to tender their services to the Governor. It was an inspiring si^ht. As they halted in front <>f their rendezvous, a number of soldiers fathered around, and one of tbem said witli manly indignation.: "Pretty iiurd on you. ohl cooks,'' (irreverent, but forcible) "tohavecoine out." This.neighborhood has sen t sixty men,and here arc sixteen old ones. These old patriots are to be armed with the old Hint-lock muskets, and if they have to go into the trenches they will "do or die." you may be sure. It may be interesting testate that thirteen are Republicans and three Democrats. The "Times" has, editorially, " a word to Pennsylvania." After alluding to her population, and the number of soldiers she has furnished to the army, the "Times" says: " Under these circumstances, and to prevent the bloody horror that threatens the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one would imagine that her people would rush to arms en masse to drive the invaders from her soil bofore thev obtained a foothold nnnn If"- * Such is what tho Keystone State ought to iwve-done>; but see what the "Times" &\ys it, is doing, and lias done: "We arc amazed at the apathy that seems to prevail amoug the people of Pennsylvania.. Panic and apathy, apathy and panic, arc the burden of the successive telegrams and letters that reach us. At the first appearance of Jonkins, the whole State seems to have been on its hack.we are glad it did not fall on its belly. When ho disappeared, they rubbed their eyes and fell again into unconcern. When he reappeared, they were once more struck.. And now that they have had time to gather up their wits and braids themselves l'or work, we see those of them who cannot be said'to be altogether apathetic, engaged >'» paltry arguments as to whether their term of service shall be a week or two, or a month or two, more or less. "The fortnight they have already lost has been invaluable to the enemy. It should have brought at least a hundred thousand armed IVnnsYlvaiiians to Hanisburg. Within four lays after New York had heard the news of the invasion, this State had sent nineteen regiments to help our Southern sister.fifteen f which were from this city. We have not iieard of fifteen regiments being sent from Philadelphia, nor half of fifteen, nor live.. We doubt if all Pennsylvania has yet fifteen regiments in the field. "What is the cause of this? Is it fbar of the rebels, or confidence in Hooker's army, or Indifference ? Fe»r of the rebels would be pusillanimous and "disgraceful in a populous State like Pennsylvania. It is well to have jontidcucc in Hooker's army, but events have proved that it will not do to confide entirely ii it for the defence of the North." AFFAIRS IX EUROPE. The struggle is going on actively in Poland, ind with at least no serious disadvantage to he insurgents. Never, in any of the former jfl'orts to throw off Russian rule was there i e -it ' .i * utcii uiiiiuunii) ui ;iu unit >»m;u*mis c»i :he Polish people, the landed proprietors, peasants and Jews,which hitter are very numerous ntclligeut and wealthy in that country. It is u lu>t plain that the Czar is alarmed by the Polish movement, and by the extent and imount of the sympathy exhibited by Europe 'or that ancient people. Austria adheres to the policy of Prance in this matter. The Paris correspondent of tho London "Times," who is generally accurately informed, states (under date of June 10th) that a despatch re. ceivcd the foregoing day at the Austrian Embassy announced u courier on his way to Paris with an acceptance of the French Dote to Russia. Mexican affairs excite great interest at Paris. A salute from the cannon of the Iuvnlides has announced the fall of Puebla. Reinforcements were about to sail.the Jam Hurt, Tilsit, War/ram and Turiune, were under sailing orders for Vera Cruz, with reinforcements and munitions of war. Evidently the intention is to put through the Mexican business thoroughly. The elections in France have not resulted so favorably for the administration as was expected ; particularly in Paris. Nevertheless the elections in the several departments, and outside of the great towns, have been very favorable to the (Jovcrnmcut: which is still in faet omnipotent in France. The English correspondents at Paris, however, who are unhappily our only sources of intelligence from that capital, (for we do not count the Yankee correspondents at all,) are gratifying themselves and their readers with antieiT»iti«»ne i»f tlio Emnnntr lmJmr fi.rriMl tY» vofriMit from his present position ami modify his policy, especially with reference to freedom of the press, and the responsibility of Ministers. The correspondent of the "Daily News" "has. it from a good source'' (and the source is, at least, a fertile one, being imagination, rumor, and the gabble of caj'es) that at a Jute council, presided over by the Emperor, "M. dc I'ersigny proposed to meet the Paris elections by reactionary measures ; vehemently denounced the ingratitude of the Parisians ; called them incorrigible; insisted that they were f:t-for nothing but coercion ; and proposed that the Emperor should revoke his famous liberal decree of November. To all which, the Emperor made no other reply than to say the ailuir was not yet ripe for decision. lie looks on at the progress of avoirs,, as usual, with clem} lips. Wo havo no serious apprehensive®-of the Emperor's bciug disturbed by internal convulsions in his steady course of government..

Reports were current on yesterday that the enemy had advanced a portion of his forces up the Paniunkev. and crossed them into llanover, in the direction of Old Church.. The movement, however, was of little impor.tunce, if really made. Later reports confirm the belief that (Sen. His, finding the feint on Richmond a failure, is sending his main force across the country towards A<|tiia Creek, in order to reinforce Hooker. It is hoped that this movement will not he permitted to succeed. The York River train still runs down as far as jleadow station. Passengers who came up last evening report no important move lias been made by the enemy in any direction, and that if a force has been sent towards the Rap pahannoclc. it was for the purpose f reconnaissance and plunder. The whole force is believed to lie at and near the White House. A prisoner who was brought up. said, with a stunuing air of confidence, that Hon. Dix was only waiting for reinforcements, and would take Richmond in a few days. FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AXD VIC I X I T Y. A scout arrived in the city yesterday morning, bringing in a negro belonging to John B. Vaden. of.sew Kent, for ttjiom a reward of five hundred dollars lias been ottered. This negro joined McC'lcllan's army during the batties around Richmond last summer, went with him to Yorktown in his retreat, and returned to the White House with Gen. Rix. He was caught, at Tannicithe Vmien's, in Xef Kent..' The fiegro wtts committed to jaH by the Mayor. This scout had been out eighteen days. lie savs there are no Yankees at all on the Forge Bridge Road. He had counted between Williamsburg and the White House seventy-live wagons, then ten pieces of artillery, then some sixteen more wagons, and following them eight pieces of artillery. lliere are thirty-two regiments, consisting in all of about twenty thousand men. The 4th Delaware numbers about four hundred ami fifty men, and the ldlst New York six hundred and forty.' The 5th Pennsylvania cavalry arc but little over three.hundred strong. un .TKiutmay, uur scout, with several companions, was in Williamsburg. They cup! tuml u courier who had been to a Colonel West, with despatches from 1'ix, requesting him t«> send a portion of his artillery corps Up to the "\\ hitc House. The Colonel refused to do it, saying that tins bush-whackers had been in town that morning, and that ho expected them every moment to attack his rear. Uur men were continually hanging on the track of the enemy and harrasing them. (Jen. Porter was at Piascund Bridge, forty miles from Biclunond, and says that the Federal troops cannot advance on Richmond, for fear their rear should be left unguarded, all the available force had been withdrawn from Norfolk, and the rebels might at any moment capture both Norfolk and Portsmouth. The Yankees were destroying property of every kind, and carrying ofl'horses and other stock, and devastating the country in every possible manner. The Yankees have sworn never to-spare smother bush-whackcr. Kight of our scouts attacked a wagou train, guarded by a portion of the 4th Delaware llegt.. killed a number of the guard, carried off one wagon and team, aud caused the remainder of the mules to stampede with the wagons, breaking them, and making a general smn-IV up. The foremost wagon iti the train contained Gcncnd Porter's property, and contained, so said the Yankee driver whom theycapturcd, a quantity of fine liquor. One of our scouts entered the camp of the regiment which was guardingGen. Porter's headquarters, and representing him. self to be from a New York regiment, was treated to a bowl of suup and a good dinner.. lie saw Gen.

The Governor, together with the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the First Auditor examined on yesterday the returns of elcc. tiun for Commissioner of the Board of Public Works lhr the Third District, aud decided in favor of Benjamin F. Bcall, Esq., of Jefferson. The competing candidate was Geo, W, Murphy, Esq., of Shenandoah. The total number of votes legally cast and returned to the State Department for Mr. Benll was 132. Some returns were not made, and the army vote, said to be about 500, wore excluded be* cause not provided for by law. Mr. Murphy> we learn, designs to contest the election on the grouud that the disturbed state of the district prevented exact compliance with the law in forwarding the-returns by the time specified, he having received in the county of Shenandoah alone, it is said, upwards of three hundred votes, wliioh have not reached the State Department.

The head of the column entered llugerstown on '' Tuesday morning, and moved directly through to Pennsylvania. The rear column, understood to belong to Eweli, did not pass through 'l. the place until that night.

The main body of A. 'J P. llill's forces, comprising the centre of Lee's army, was understood yesterday to be somewhere between Winchester and Martins- ^ Imrg, moving towards the river. To-day we have 110 doubt that the whole of KwelPs column is iu Pennsylvania, not far from Cham- ' luil-wlilll'.r ll The gentleman who saw Bwoll's troops says they liinl with them n very large nunihcr of wagons.

STARTI.ing RUMOR OF I.EK's VROXIMITV TO wash- 11 KiOTON". C! Washington*, June 25.8 1'. ^1..Thcrcarc strong indications to-night that ln.'s V^L a. only achieved the grand project" ot massi:^ his strength on this side of the Potomac, but t; that he is actujillv within a short, distance of (y Washington, having moved a considerable force from Sbephcrdstownand Antictain fords down jj the tow-path (if the canal, or else along "the inner roads from Bionsboro' and Middlcton. to the vicinity of Poolcsville, llushvillc and llockvillc. 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 u company is to-day refusing to receive valua- j, hie articles for shipment between Baltimore and Washington. If ilieoiieiny 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 lias been v holding Maryland Heights. Although it is hardly probable that Tyler has been captured, p it is possible that his communication with the tl Army of the Potomac in Virginia, and with the force under Gen. Schcnek, have been bro- r, ken. A flank movement on the part of Gen. c Hooker across the three lower fords may result disastrously for the enemy by isolating ], his right from his new base of operations upon 1 the upper Potomac. Whatever truth there :l may be in the report of Lee's proximity to Washington, there is still opportunity for re- y pclling his further advance. 1, THE PANIC AT IIARRISUCRU. i; IIarri.siickc, Pa..

We hope there are not many honest, patriitie men at the .North who have not, during the last week, asked thein-elves in sober sadness: llnw i- it thai, after two years of war, with every advantage "ii our side : with overwhelming superiority in men, money and material : with our ports open, ntr trade nourishing. our credit good, our people pertinacious and determined beyond example, we tind the enemy threatening our own territory with an armv eipial. if not superior, to our wti? How is it that, within a day's march of Washington, we have no better protection against inva don than a levy ni nunsand a uiinultuous ru-li to the ticld'of lialf-ariucd civilians.midrilled. unoffieered, and unorganized ? How is it that the Lnitcd States fhtvernment. while actually engaged in rue utss in conquering me wnuie Ouinn, fouls itself reduced to iln- humiliating necessity of abandoning tin- defence of Northern soil to the frantic energy of State Governors? 1 low is that, when the second campaign opens, the national authority seems to disappear from our view, and the Union seems to resolve itself into a mere Confederation, each member of it acting for itself, and shouting to the others for hel.p? What i- it. in short, that con-, siitutcs the military superiority of the South at this moment? What gives it a veteran and disciplined army, equal in number to. Hooker's, and enables it to spread panic through the whole North, and send the authorities of Pennsylvania H.ving oil' with tin; State archives from the State Capital, by merely sending two or throe thousand troopers over the border ? Why are our young men called oil'from their business at a day's notice to repulse "raids'' three hundred miles away? \\ hy is a great, powerful society like ours thrown into convulsions by the opposition of a brigade of hushwackers, its business men driven to their wits' ends, and its chiefs forced to make appeals to the patriotism and devotion of private citizens such as arc usually the la-t resource of despairing energy ? The answer to all these questions is simple. We are engaged in an enterprise which requires that a well drilled, well disciplined and well organized army, ruled by one code, commanded by one chief, should be maintained till it is accomplished. The South recognized this great fact early in the w ir. and we did not: and hence it is that it i.- astonishing the world by the greatness of its performance as compared with its means.W., by the smallness of our performance a- compared with our means.

No such feat has ever btfen accomplished: no man. with any knowledge of war, believes it n >s ble. and our having attempted it lia-» excited both the ridicule and astonishment of the world.

It would l»e impossible, in -hurt, if the command of the at my a very operation of the war were not pe' -atly used to serve the purposes of £ to divide and distract the nation, an'' _ aralyzo the Government. The pen; c of the Xortli may assure themselves, once f»r nil. that the South cannot he conquered by drafts of militia, either for 30 days or three months, or by levies til masse, or any bursts <>f enthusiasm, however noble. It cannot be conquered by an army from which thirty or forty thousand men, as recently on the Potomac, have the right to march off home on the eve of tremendous battles, or in the midst of important sieges, as now at Port Hudson. It can only be conquered by an army such as the South has itself in the ticld.an army raised by conscription, and kept up by conscription, to any number that is needed, for as loruj ai the rear lasts. People may as well make uj their minds to this. War, as we arc waging it at this moment in Pennsylvania, is waste ful, sanguinary and exhausting in the highes degree. If we will not submit to conscrip : t | I .. YOLiJMi l tion, if we arc determined to cow the Gov-, ! eminent into not enforcing it, or allow others to cow it: if will insist in prating about the I maie uiuiuu, uji'i reiv on uuoernaroriai energy nod enthusiasm, we must be content with defeats aud panics, and make up our minds for a final and irretrievable breakdown. All the thirty days' men that Gov. Seymour, or Parker. or Curtin can call into the field for the next ten years, will do no more toward putting down the rebellion or ending the war in any way but by a disgraceful peace, than the explosion of tire-crackers. If people are not satisfied of this now, they never will be satisfied, and we solemnly call upon the Government to apply to the national courage and determination," the supreme and final test of raising, by draft, for the war, as many men as it needs. To delay it one minute longer is worse than weakness, and if the country will not submit to this, it will prove, beyond all question, that it is sick of fighting, and is for peace on any terms; and whenever this is [iroven, the Administration will be bound to et it have its way, and wallow in the mire. f prom port hudson. The "Herald," of the 27th, publishes some very intc/osting news from 'Port Hudson, received by^.ko Creole froi^New Orleans, which arrived yestcrduy. A second assault upon Port Hudson was made by the Union troops on the 14th inst., and they were again disastrously repulsed.. The loss of field officers was very large in killed and wounded, amounting to no Jess than five Colonels. Our troops, though repulsed, fought bravely. It seems evident that Gen. Hanks has not force enough to accomplish what ho so daringly attempts, and it is to he hoped that lie will be speedily reinforced from si one quarter. It was expected that another assault wnuld he made on the 19th. Our correspondent on the field states that Col.

The "Herald" of the 27th, says that the "ocean is lit up by the rebel sea devils." The Tacony has destroyed a large side-wheel steamer and a large fleet of fishermen. * A largo ship (name unknown) has also been destroyed by the pirates. The crews of the ship Bysantino and bark Goodspeed have arrived in New York. The privateers are playing the mischief gen- raiiy wun tne xauKeo shipping on Nova Scotia and Cape Sable.

This splendid vessel urrived from Greenock, a distance of 450 miles, in twenty-four hours, and is stated to bo of extraordinary swiftness and power. Iter paddle-boxes being too large for entrance into the East Bute dock, her cargo has been shipped alongside, und from the fact of its neat appearance, has caused considerable interest and much speculation. This consists of several boxes tightly bound with iron and brought by the South Wales Railway. The American Consul attempted to interrogate the captain as to the natnre of the contents of the boxes, and induced the Controller of Customs to accompany him. It need hardly be said the attempt was unsuccessful; and on Saturday morning the splendid steamer steamed down the channel, not before a scent! had occurred, by the agitated manner of the Consul who arrived at the docks shortly ' after 2 o'clock in the morning.

On Tuesday mornhig, Major Murray, of the 14Sth New \ork, with 100 men of-Ins regiment, started from Portsmouth on a raiding expedition into Princess Anne county. As he journeyed along he picked up all the horses aud mules that he found on the route and mounted his men. He made his way direct to the coast, and when at Land Bridge, which is about fifteen miles below Cape Henry, he destroyed seven rebel salt works. Proceeding five miles below on the coast he destroyed another. Ten miles further south ten more salt works were leveled to the ground, and over 1.00U bushels of salt destroyed. A sloop lying near by, containing 4«>0 bushels, was destroyed.. Alter this bad been accomplished, the expedition visited Wales Neck, and there fouiwl n large lot of pans and lumber, intended to be used in the construction of other salt works.. The lumber was burned, as were some additional five hundred cords of fire wood that were intended for fuel. The pans were rendered useless. Currituck Sound was then struck, where the expedition halted all night on Wednesday, having marched nearly forty utiles a day up to that time. The major and his men wended their way slowly back, reaching Portsmouth yesterday afternoon. This morning the horses and mules, numbering about a hundred, were brought across the river and taken to the custom-house yard, to be delivered over to the military authorities.. Many of the animals were of an indifferent character, but there were a number of valuable beasts among the lot. Several were valued at about five hundred dollars each..

COXFKUKliATKS IX PENNSYLVANIA.iien»ral Lie's army has occupied, without

resistance, tlic flourishing town of York, theentre and capital of a great county which

is the garden of Pennsylvania; situated on

|t!v roiin ad on which Baltimore depends fori:« supplies. and within fifty miles of thatcitv. a!ui'"t due North. The intelligence of 1the capture "f llarrisburg is not confirmed; i

an i was at least premature. «

The plans <>i Lee are still a secret to our '

Bslnm-*re. and in cither case to cut off theraiir-yi communication of "Washington with ):l;oNorth. ii> he has already with the West; 1

whether hi.- intention be to establish himself ;quietly iu the. richest part of the Keystone t

State. and make its fertile valleys support his ]army, until he can force Hooker to a battle. 1

This.neighborhoodhas sen t sixty men,and here arc sixteenold ones. These old patriots are to be armedwith the old Hint-lock muskets, and if theyhave to go into the trenches they will "do ordie." you may be sure. It may be interestingtestate that thirteen are Republicans and threeDemocrats.The "Times" has, editorially, " a word to

Pennsylvania." After alluding to her population,and the number of soldiers she hasfurnished to the army, the "Times" says:

" Under these circumstances, and to preventthe bloody horror that threatens thecommonwealth of Pennsylvania, one wouldimagine that her people would rush to armsen masse to drive the invaders from her soilbofore thev obtained a foothold nnnn If"- *

Such is what tho Keystone State ought toiwve-done>; but see what the "Times" &\ys it,is doing, and lias done:"We arc amazed at the apathy that seems to

prevail amoug the people of Pennsylvania..Panic and apathy, apathy and panic, arc theburden of the successive telegrams and lettersthat reach us. At the first appearance of Jonkins,the whole State seems to have been onits hack.we are glad it did not fall on itsbelly. When ho disappeared, they rubbedtheir eyes and fell again into unconcern. Whenhe reappeared, they were once more struck..And now that they have had time to gather uptheir wits and braids themselves l'or work, wesee those of them who cannot be said'to be altogetherapathetic, engaged >'» paltry argumentsas to whether their term of service shallbe a week or two, or a month or two, more orless."The fortnight they have already lost has

been invaluable to the enemy. It should havebrought at least a hundred thousand armedIVnnsYlvaiiians to Hanisburg. Within fourlays after New York had heard the news ofthe invasion, this State had sent nineteenregiments to help our Southern sister.fifteenf which were from this city. We have notiieard of fifteen regiments being sent fromPhiladelphia, nor half of fifteen, nor live..We doubt if all Pennsylvania has yet fifteenregiments in the field."What is the cause of this? Is it fbar of

the rebels, or confidence in Hooker's army, orIndifference ? Fe»r of the rebels would bepusillanimous and "disgraceful in a populousState like Pennsylvania. It is well to havejontidcucc in Hooker's army, but events haveproved that it will not do to confide entirelyii it for the defence of the North."

It isu lu>t plain that the Czar is alarmed by thePolish movement, and by the extent andimount of the sympathy exhibited by Europe'or that ancient people. Austria adheres tothe policy of Prance in this matter. TheParis correspondent of tho London "Times,"who is generally accurately informed, states(under date of June 10th) that a despatch re.ceivcd the foregoing day at the Austrian Embassyannounced u courier on his way to Pariswith an acceptance of the French Dote toRussia.Mexican affairs excite great interest at Paris.

A salute from the cannon of the Iuvnlides hasannounced the fall of Puebla.

Evidently the intentionis to put through the Mexican businessthoroughly.The elections in France have not resulted so

favorably for the administration as was expected; particularly in Paris. Neverthelessthe elections in the several departments, andoutside of the great towns, have been veryfavorable to the (Jovcrnmcut: which is still infaet omnipotent in France.

TUB YANKEES BELOW.Reports were current on yesterday that the

enemy had advanced a portion of his forcesup the Paniunkev. and crossed them intollanover, in the direction of Old Church..The movement, however, was of little impor.tunce,if really made. Later reports confirmthe belief that (Sen. His, finding the feint onRichmond a failure, is sending his main forceacross the country towards A<|tiia Creek, inorder to reinforce Hooker. It is hoped that thismovement will not he permitted to succeed.The York River train still runs down as far

as jleadow station. Passengers who came uplast evening report no important move liasbeen made by the enemy in any direction, andthat if a force has been sent towards the Rappahannoclc. it was for the purpose f reconnaissanceand plunder. The whole force is believedto lie at and near the White House. Aprisoner who was brought up. said, with a

stunuing air of confidence, that Hon. Dix was

only waiting for reinforcements, and wouldtake Richmond in a few days.FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AXD VICI X I T Y.A scout arrived in the city yesterday morning,bringing in a negro belonging to John B.

Vaden. of.sew Kent, for ttjiom a reward offive hundred dollars lias been ottered. Thisnegro joined McC'lcllan's army during the battiesaround Richmond last summer, went withhim to Yorktown in his retreat, and returnedto the White House with Gen. Rix. He was

caught, at Tannicithe Vmien's, in Xef Kent..'The fiegro wtts committed to jaH by theMayor.

This scout had been out eighteen days. liesavs there are no Yankees at all on the ForgeBridge Road. He had counted between Williamsburgand the White House seventy-livewagons, then ten pieces of artillery, then somesixteen more wagons, and following them eightpieces of artillery.

lliere are thirty-two regiments, consistingin all of about twenty thousand men. The4th Delaware numbers about four hundredami fifty men, and the ldlst New York sixhundred and forty.' The 5th Pennsylvaniacavalry arc but little over three.hundredstrong.un .TKiutmay, uur scout, with several companions,was in Williamsburg. They cup!tuml u courier who had been to a Colonel

The Colonel refused todo it, saying that tins bush-whackershad been in town that morning, and that hoexpected them every moment to attack his rear.Uur men were continually hanging on the

track of the enemy and harrasing them. (Jen.Porter was at Piascund Bridge, forty milesfrom Biclunond, and says that the Federaltroops cannot advance on Richmond, for feartheir rear should be left unguarded, all theavailable force had been withdrawn from Norfolk,and the rebels might at any moment captureboth Norfolk and Portsmouth.The Yankees were destroying property of

every kind, and carrying ofl'horses and otherstock, and devastating the country in everypossible manner. The Yankees have swornnever to-spare smother bush-whackcr. Kight ofour scouts attacked a wagou train, guarded bya portion of the 4th Delaware llegt.. killed anumber of the guard, carried off one wagonand team, aud caused the remainder of themules to stampede with the wagons, breakingthem, and making a general smn-IV up. Theforemost wagon iti the train contained GcncndPorter's property, and contained, so said theYankee driver whom theycapturcd, a quantityof fine liquor. One of our scouts entered thecamp of the regiment which was guardingGen.Porter's headquarters, and representing him.self to be from a New York regiment, wastreated to a bowl of suup and a good dinner..lie saw Gen.

From these points he has directaccess to the rear of Washington, and can, byan expert movement, destroy the railroad betweenthe capital and Annapolis Junction, unlesshe should underrate the force which it is *,,thought has been concentrated to oppose himin this design. A prominent transportation ucompany is to-day refusing to receive valua- j,hie articles for shipment between Baltimoreand Washington. If ilieoiieiny has gained a ,>

position of so much importance upon Hooker's ].rear there is cause for apprehension concerningthe safety of Tyler's force which lias been vholding Maryland Heights. Although it ishardly probable that Tyler has been captured, pit is possible that his communication with the tlArmy of the Potomac in Virginia, and withthe force under Gen. Schcnek, have been bro- r,ken. A flank movement on the part of Gen. cHooker across the three lower fords may resultdisastrously for the enemy by isolating ],his right from his new base of operations upon 1the upper Potomac. Whatever truth there :lmay be in the report of Lee's proximity toWashington, there is still opportunity for re- ypclling his further advance. 1,

THE PANIC AT IIARRISUCRU. i;IIarri.siickc, Pa.. Juno 25.2.30 P. M..

During the whole of last night and up to the r

present time, long trains of wagons, laden withgoods and household furniture, have entered r

the city. The fanners, are flocking in with B

their horses, also any number of contrabandsof all ages and sexes. fThere are about 000 contrabands between 11

here and Carlisle on the way. The Jews andmany others arc packing up their goods, ready !l

for shipment. r

The matter of declaring martial law is underconsideration, to prevent all -the able-bodiedinert leaving the city. This is considered as *

the oidy mode of compelling hundreds of 0

persons, whose only desire is to make moneyout of the misfortunes of their fellow-creatures, 11

to remain and defend the city. hThe rebel column was slowly advancing this

morning on Carlisle. *5. i».

What i- it. in short, that con-,siitutcs the military superiority of the Southat this moment? What gives it a veteran anddisciplined army, equal in number to. Hooker's,and enables it to spread panic through the wholeNorth, and send the authorities of PennsylvaniaH.ving oil' with tin; State archives from theState Capital, by merely sending two or throethousand troopers over the border ? Why areour young men called oil'from their business ata day's notice to repulse "raids'' three hundredmiles away? \\ hy is a great, powerfulsociety like ours thrown into convulsions bythe opposition of a brigade of hushwackers, itsbusiness men driven to their wits' ends, andits chiefs forced to make appeals to the patriotismand devotion of private citizens such asarc usually the la-t resource of despairingenergy ?The answer to all these questions is simple.

We are engaged in an enterprise which requiresthat a well drilled, well disciplined andwell organized army, ruled by one code, commandedby one chief, should be maintainedtill it is accomplished. The South recognizedthis great fact early in the w ir. and we didnot: and hence it is that it i.- astonishing theworld by the greatness of its performance as

Allthe thirty days' men that Gov.

If people arenot satisfied of this now, they never will besatisfied, and we solemnly call upon the Governmentto apply to the national courage anddetermination," the supreme and final test ofraising, by draft, for the war, as many men asit needs. To delay it one minute longer isworse than weakness, and if the country willnot submit to this, it will prove, beyond allquestion, that it is sick of fighting, and is forpeace on any terms; and whenever this is

He made his way direct tothe coast, and when at Land Bridge, which isabout fifteen miles below Cape Henry, he destroyedseven rebel salt works.
