SS ag THEY FLY TO THE WOODS. Se A rumor reached headquarters this morning | to the eifect that Moseby, finding himself so | hotly pursued by our forces, had disbanded his men, and that they had taken to the woods. Nothing official, however, to that effect, had been received up to the hour of our going to ho garam Pe Se ae bes We FROM THE FRONT. Madame Rumor to-day is busy with reports of movements on the Rappahannock by both ; armies, indicating a speedy collision. Such an event, of course, is always possible, and Hooker has shown the enemy at Beverly Ford that he | is quite ready to meet them half way and a trifle over, when they put themselves in aggres- sive attitude. There is no doubt he is now actively vigilant, to the end of putting a similar quietus to that at Beverly Ford upon rebel invasion projects, but nothing has reached bere, ‘we apprehend, going to show thata cellision has yet occurred between the opposing armies. FIRING AT A BALLOON. We learn that the firing heard on the Rappa- hannock yesterday was nothing more than the rebels pelting away at one of our balloons | with arifie gun. Some of the shot from the gun whistled uncomfortably near the ears of the officers engaged in taking observations in the ballcon, and it was lowered out of harm’s way. The rebels do not seem to relish our in- specting their operations just now per balloon. ai Se a ON PAROLE, Capt. Krause, who was arrested some weeks since and confined in the Old Capitol for al- leged malfeasance in office while he was in charge of the working gangs of contrabards, was yesterday released on parole. Capt. K. expTesses confidence that he will be able to clear up satisfactorily any chs ge connected with his management of the co: trabands. RETURNING HOME. Yesterday, the 2ith New Jersey, 700 men, Coi Robinson arrived, and in the evening left for their homes. The 2ist New Jersey, 800 men j Co}. Mettier, arrived last night, and this morn- { ing willleaye. The terms tor which the men | enlisted haying expired, they will be mustered out as soon as they reach their homes. SEIZED. An attempt to smuggle into Virginia four | kegs of whisky in as many barrels of potatoes was discovered yesterday at the Alexandria terry. Both the whisky and potatoes were seized by order of Capt. Todd and turned over | to Property Sergeant V. N. Milliette tor distri- bution among the hospitals. T TO THE OLD CAPITOL. | The sixty-nine prisoners of war who reached here last evening from Aquia Creek were sent to the Old Capitol this morning by order ot Capt. Todd. TO ARRIVE. Seven hundred wounded soldiers are expect- ed to arrive here this afternoon at 5 o'clock, from Aquia Cwek. They will be distributed among the various hospitals. Fears of a Rebel Invasion of Pennsyl- vania. PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENCE OF THE STATE— HARRISBURG NEARLY CAPTURED. General Couch has fully assumed command | of the Department of Susquehanna (Eastern | Pennsylyania). Yesterday morning Gen. C., Gov. Curtin, Gey. Schenck and others, were in consultation at the Capital of the State. The Harrisburg correspondent of the Phila. | delphia Inquirer says: 7 «The Governor, after due consultation, co- | incides with Gen. Conch in the deciaration | that there is positive danger of invasion, and | that it is absolutely necessary te callout the | militia for State defense. He has therefore telegraphed to Washington to have all recruit- ing for the regular or yolunteer service in this | State stopped, so that all our citizens may be available in the defem&e ot the borders, and the General Government has consented to the | measure as necessary and expedient in the ef- tort to repel the invasion. Gen. Couch positively asserts, and he of course should know whereof he speaks, that had it not been for our attack on the enemy’s cavalry on Monday, the enemy would new be in Harrisburg. i “All this was mept quiet yesterday and last | night, that the authorities might have timg to consult upon a feasible pian of operations.” } Promorion.—It affords us much pleasure to | announce the promotion of E.D Webster, Esq., | of the State Department, toa 4th class clerk- | ship. Mr. W.’s fidelity to business and gentle- msaly demeanor has won for him a host of friends.

A Capitulation, net a Surrender. Havana, June 6.—{Correspondentof the Ase | sociated Press.]|—The arrival of the Kent, trom | Vera Cruz, yesterday morning, brought us the first reliable news of the occupation of Puebla by. the French troops under Gen. Forey. ‘We had French accounts before, but they are now only confirmed in one parncular, viz: | That they occupy the city. Butthe report of | the famous attack on Totimehuacan, and the consequent capture of the city has turned out to he false, as has also the capture of 17,000 pris- oners, 900 officers, 23 generals and 280 cannon. Puebla de Zarogoza, aftera glorious resist- ance, was given up to the French solely for the reason that its heroic defenders were without food or ammunition, having eaten up even their artillery mulesand cavalry horses. On the ith of May Gen. Mendoza was sent to the French camp to offer the surrender of the city under honorable conditions, viz: That the soldiers be allowed to carry away their banners; that the officers be allowed to take with them their side arms, and thatall the force be permitted to march to Mexico and to report to the supreme government there. The conditions were finally granted with the exception thet Gen. Forey ordered the Mexi- can force tomarch to Orizaba, there toawaitin inactivity the conclusion of the war. At WHOLESALE AND RETAIL.

Double ye Dangerous Promontery of Lookout, and Cast Anchor in ye placid Potomac. pases Se Remarkable Events of ye Trip. pete Se The steamer Thomas Collyer has beer lately refitted in Baltimore, in fact almost entirely rebuilt; and the Washington and Mount Vernon Steamboat Company (J. Van Riswick, Presi- dent) tendered an invitation to quite a party of gentlemen, citizens and others, to take the trip around from Baltimore here on her return, she leaving there on Thursday morning. The excursionists got te Baltimore very satis- tactorily in one of the comfortable new cars of the Baltimore and Washington road; and on reaching the Collyer at Fardy’s yard, south side of the Basin, found that saucy little boat well stocked with sundry suspicious-looking packages, boxes, bottles, demijohns, &c., all going to show that her re-baptismal honors were to be celebrated with due eclat. Some portion of these elements speedily took new shape under the skillful manipulations of vet- erans operators, and re-appeared in the form of nectar (punch and jjulips) fit for gods and Washingtonians; and the two capacious bowls of this noble decoction was thencetor ward never during the voyage permitted to go Under such satisfactory auspi we shot down the river and bay pastthe frowning Fed- eral Hill batteries; past Fort McHenry, where the flag “still waves,” and whereagrim line of big sodu-bottle-shaped Dahlgrens give com- tortable assurance that it will continue s0 to co: past the Sumterish-looking new Fort Carroll: past North Point and the monuments to her heroes; down the beautiful bay, and so on to Annapolis, that ancient city by the sea. We tied up at its venerable whart, (disturbing in so doing & couple of ancients who were ozing there, with iishing rods in hand,) and under the guidance of a gentleman of our party, who said that Annapolis was his native heath, and his name was McNeir,* we proceeded to examine the curiosities of this interesting relic of the past; swarming up Main street, to the utter destruction of its grass crop, and bringing out the population, dozens in number, in a con- siderable state of curiosity to know what this irruption might mean. The juveniles soon settled the question to their own satistaction, and followed us in crowds, (tender urchins of two hundred years bringing up the rear,) showing the utmost interest in our mov ments. We found it out pretty soon. Nixon's circus was to open in Annapolis, (per yellow posters on the walls,) ana we were the “company” just arrived per steam- er. A genial alderman ef us, whose explo- explosive laugh woke all the echoes of Annap- olis, was setdown as the { Shaksperian jester of the troupe. Our Washington Napo- leon of steamed oysters was fixed upon as the performer who drew agaipst four horses and digested enormous pebbles; and various others of our solid citizens were put down in the mind’s eye of these young men of Annapolis for various leading ring performances, acrobatic and otherwise. It was a pretty good joke, and was not dis- couraged by the “troupe.” Some of ‘the crowd saw more “relics” than others. They mixed their liquors, the nectar of the Collyer with the flery whisky of An- napolis, and then they eat some soft crabs and some unduly fresh oysters, and under these favoring influences went to look for relics of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton. and found them; saw the State House Hall, where Gon. Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, resigned his commis- sion; the Queens Ann cannon in the lobby that Lord Carroll, of Carrollton, brought over to settle Maryland with, and in the course of the afternoon these semi-solid citizens ot Washing- ington discovered in the city and its suburbs not less than twenty-five Carroll mansions, builtof pre- Adamite bricks of largesize brought from Europe by the Pilgrim Fathers of An- napolis!

Other portions of the building, the room Where Washington resigned his commission, with its interesting pictures; the singularly beautiful main stairway ef the structure, &c’ &e , occupied the attention of the tourists for considerable time; and such of theaparty as visited the monastery found matter of great interest there, and were yery courteously re- ceived by the brotherhood.

The usual ronnds were made here under the escort of Mr.'Herbert, of the management of the grounds, and &fter- wards the excursionists assembled at the tomb.

Mr. Carrington, who, as we all know in Wasningten, is not often at a loss for felicitous , ven when the subject is a trite one, made a few bap) py remarks, firstin relation to our trip, whic! characterized asa remarka- bly pleasant one. hat do we live for? Good men say to pre- pare fora bright and happier world beyond the skies. This solemn and impressive scene reminds us how Censilory ste allearthly joys. Butlet us in a reasonable and rational way make the most of life. Dum virimus, vivamus, ‘What can be more delightful than the mutual interchange of kindly and friendly feelings ? It brings into play those gentle and beautital virtues that adorn and illustrate the human character. He saw before him gentlemen representing every department of business in the Metropolis of the Nation, and how delight- tul our imtercourse has been. He hoped that many such happy days and nights await usin the future. Besides, this trip has not been without substantial benefit to all. Shortly after leaving Baltimore our attention was di- rected to the sandy beach, where we beheld.a few littie, gray, modest tombstones—they speak with most miraculous organ—with silent elo- quence, und they illustrate the glory of the American arms and the patriotism of our tore. fathers, who npon that lonely and consecrated spot humbled the pride of an insolent and in. vading foe. Buthe would forbear. No Ame- rican citizen, proud of his country, can ever forget the history of North Point. ve had now reached the culminating point of ourexcursion. And itis good for us to be here. What solemn associations cluster around this sacred spot. Whocan contemslsie these reminiscences and the character of the great.and good man whose mortal remains re- posed in this hallowed ground and not feel his bosom glow with patriotic ardor? To this Mecca the lovers of liberty from all quarters of the world may bring their richest and choicest offerings. To mention the name ot Washington’ exhausts the language of pane- gyric. Who can smooth the ice, paint the lily, give a perfume to the violet or an additional hue to the rainbow? His deeds, his noble deeds, alone have rendered himimmorial. His name blazes upon the brightest pages of the world’s history, and there it will remain for- ever. At the tombof the immortal Washington let us renew our vows of devotion to that blessed Union to which his whole life was de- voted. He trusted that the political millennium is dawning, when our swords will be turned into plowshares and American citizens from the North, the South, the East, and the West, will stand like 2 band of brothers hand in hand around the tomb of Washington, and with firm and united hearts pray for the Union, the Constitution, and the laws. He hud frequently observed that a tellow who bas a good heart is more impressible and more subject to patrietic and even religious emotions when he is slightly under the influ- ence of good liqnor than at any other time. That being the case, he wassure that every mother’s son of them would leaye this hai- jJowed spot with reflections well worthy of American patriots who had stvod by the graye of Washington. On the way up the river a meeting of the passengers was held, Gen. Carrington in the chair, and a committee designated, consisting of Messrs. J. B. Ellis, Thos. E. Lioyd, C.S. Noyes, T. 8. McNeirandS. L. Phillips, reported resolutions warmly expressive of the appre- cisiion by the party of the generous hospitalities of the President and Directors of the Washing- ton and Mount Vernon Steamboat Company, and of the courtesy and officer-like conduct of Capt. Gedney, and cordially commending the Collyer and her officers to the traveling com- munity The resolutions were unanimously adopted; and @ proposition to raise a subscription for @ handsome set of colors appropriate for so smart and cosy a vessel as the Collyer, was carried by acclamation, and the wherewithal was forked over forthwith. Then came another little demonstration in the shape ofa demurely worded presentation of a boquet by Mr. Jas. A. Wise to Councilman Jonas B. Elhs, in recognition of his arduous la- bors as leader of the Gabriel’s Band Calithum- pian association. Mr. Ellis froze to the boquet, but promptly declined appropriating the honors thrust upon him, in fact, more than intimated tnat his place had been rather that of victim, than actor on the occasion alluded to. We rather suspect that Mr. Wise, whoisa promising young lawyer, was, in this instance, acting in a professional capacity to avert pub- lic indignation from the really guilty leaders of that reprehensible organization. On reaching the wharf, three rousing cheers and a tiger were given for Capt. Gedney, and three more with like extras for President Van Riswick and other officers of the company. We believe it is generally admitted that the party bad a good time—yea, an exceedingiy good time: —_> MELANCHOLY SuICIDE.—Yesterday morning, 2d Lieut. Fred’k Starkey, company C, Scott’s 900 cavalry, committed suicide in his tent at the headquarters of the regiment, above the Park, Seventh street, by cutting his throat with a razor. Lieut. Starkey had been ill for seme days, and the surgeon of the regiment had had a@ man detailed to attend him; and in the tem- porary absence of the latter, the Lieutenant gotout his razor and cuta horrid gash across the throat, severing both carotid arteries, dying in a few seconds thereafter. Coroner oodward held an inquest, and the jury re- turned a verdict that he came to bis death trom Wounds inflicted by himself while laboring under atemporary depression of mind. Lieut. Starkey was a German by birth and a soldier by profession, and had been in the regular ser- vice. He came out with the regiment as a pri- vate, and has been advanced from one position to another, and recently was commissioned a second lieutenant and nc to company C. A letter «vas found among effects, written the day previous, directed toGen. Judd, our Minister to Berlin,in which he requests the General to inform a lady, whose name is men- tioned, that he was ill, and that she must not be surprised to hear bad news from him at any tire. Lieut. Starkey was about torty years of age, and was much esteemed by the ‘officers and men of the regiment.
