No matter where they sre, however, it is certain that the people | of the border and of the counties bordering on | the Susquehanna, do not yet consider the dan- er as past, and are making every preparation to give the rebels a fitting reception. Rifle- pits and earthworks are being erected at all points along the river from Harrisburg to the Maryland line, and troops are being thrown torward rapidiy. From private advices, we Jearn that in York county the excitement is intense. The Northern Central Railroad Com- pany have removed their rolling stock and sueh other property as conld be damaged by the rebels, from York and vicinity. The banks too, have removed their funds to Philadelphia. All the sick soldiers in York, (of which there ‘was a large number, @ hospital having been some time ago established there,) and all Goy- ernment property, have been removed east of the Susquehanna, by order of Government. ‘The funds of the bank at Columbia, in Lan- caster county, have also been removed to Phil- adelphia, and the Lance: Tr county troops aye crossed the river to Wrightsville, where, under the direction of Capt. C. ©. Haldeman, jate of the 23d regiment P. V., they are throw- ing up rifie-pits ona high eleyation about a mile from the river; these pits bemg intended to commuind the turnpike road from York to the river. The negroes were impressed into service at this point, and are bu: pick and shovel, while the whites are acting as cavalry scouts, and are scouring the whole country for miles around. The people are much excited, but it is u singular faet, ths only parties who have yet talked of dling out of reach of the Confeds, are copperheads of intense secesh proclivities. At the town of York the people are not as active in preparing for defence at ort Points, although the town authorities andi railroad companies are making exertions to stir the people up. At other points in York county, boweyer, along the Hanover Branch Railroad, the farmers are busily engaged in prepsring to protect their homes. tthe ad lew e NOT C The report of firin Aldie this morning redited in official circles.

They seem to have been drawn as far as Chambersburg in their attempts to cap- ture the wagon train which escaped from Mar- tinsburg. 4 Immediately upon taking possession of the town Jenkins threw out pickets as far 2s Scot- land, a distance of five miles trom Uhambers- burg. where the bridge, 8 substantial wooden structure, some eighty teet long, was | destroyed bythem. He also establisheda chain of expresses between himself and Gen. Rhodes at Williamsport. Scouting parties of consid- erable force were sent out in the direction of Shippensburg. Jenkins then demanded the surrender of all Government muskets in the hands of the citi- zens, and thus obtained abont eight hundred | muskets, which he destroyed. | The drug stores next claimed the rekel atten- tion, and the contents were packed up and re- ved. Beaver hats and everything in the ery line were alsogobbled up. On Tues- oruing, about 11 o’clock, a detachment out forty cavalry from Carlisie, while re- connoitering, meta rebel scouting party on the pike, about four miles this side of Chambers- burg, and had a skirmish, in which two of our Carlisle men Wet canter Jenkins, however, here got scared and sent expresses to Hagerstown to inform Gen. Rhodes that there was a large force in his front; and later in the day he told citizens of bersburz that hescon expected heavy reinforcements of infantry; but this expected force not coming, he at ene o'clock on Wednesday withdrew in the direction of Hagergtown. ‘The rebels were in great fear during the whole time they held the town. They seemed im- pressed with the idea that they were holdinga very dangerous position. Indeed, they were drawn up in line of battle during the whole of Tuesday afternoon, momentarily expecting an attack. They took with them when they left Cham- bersburg all the negroes which they found there (the majority having fled towards Har- tisburg), with the exception of two or three, who claimed that they had heen -et free by their masters. The stronger and more refrac tory ones were tied together, makingsomev-hat | of an extemporized cottie-gung. The smaller ones were placed upen the horses which the tebels had stolen. No resistance whatever was offered whan the rebels entered Chambersburg, but one or two stgageling behind after the main body had left were fired upon fromthe Franklin House, it is said by the party whose storehouse had been set on fire. The rebels have not at any time been nearer tion of rode around Shippensburg on Tuesday night.

Lee has not iorce oppesite us sufficient to attack at this time, as « considerable portion: of hisarmy is yot up the Valley; but there is an impression here that the object of that moye wes by asudder dash upon our detached forces at Winchester, Berry vilie and Martinsburg to do an effective siroke of business thereabouts, and at the same iime by a feint atan invasion cajole Hooker into transferring the bulk of his army north of the Potomac, by which maneu- ver he (Lee) could reciaim the sacred soil to | the line of the Potomac, and perhaps by a quick Movement gobble up supplies and any detached forces of ours south of the river ‘and not pro- tected immediately by the strong defenses to ‘Washington. If this was his plan, Hooker bas shown no } disposition to give him undue aid in c-rrying ; trout, as while keeping pace with Lee and put- ting himself in“ position to throw his force ucross the Potomac at short notice should he really find Lee attempting the invasion pro- ject, he has nt the same time warily kept him. self in position to face Lee anite as promptly on the south side of the river shouid he attempt to double upon him. Three deserters frem the first division of the third corps are to be executed tu-morrow. They are old offenders, having already deserted three or four times, and itis deemed necessary to make an example of then. Gen.

Kenney’s lip was split, and three tecth broken out of his mouth, besides other brnises ov his bead and face. Dempsey was held to bail in $300 for court.

See tse THE GALLANT COLONEL DOUTY AILLED. ———— The fight at Aldie, on Wednesday, which was noticed briefly yesterday, was far more desperate than was at first supposed here. The cavalry engaged or our side were the 94 New York, 6th Ohio, ist Massachusetts, and 4th New York, under command of Col. Kil- patrick, and the Ist Maine, of Col. J. J.Gregg’s brigade; and a portion of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's brigade, under command of Col. Rousseau, on the part of the Confederates. Col. Kilpatrick's command was leading the advance of our cavalry corps, moving from Fairfax Court House to Aldie, The rebel force (cavalry and mounted in- fantry) had come from the direction of Suick- er’s Gap, arriving at Aldie some two hours before our force reached that point; and the rebels getting warning of the anproach of Kil- patrick, posted thomselyes in cummanding po- sitions, ang with their mounted sharpshooters placed behind stone walls ready to pour a murderous fire upon our advancing column . Kilpatrick charged upon the rebel advance, and drove them furiously through the town, the rebels making a stand on the other side, where was posted a rebel battery of four guns on the road to Ashby’s Gup; and the rebel cay- alry posted themeelves along the wooded hills and stone walls toward Snicker’s Gap. Hel desperate charges were made by our own and the rebel cavalry alternately, and after a fight of over three hours, and with varying success, the rebel force seemed to be gaining some advantage, when the Ist Maine regiment, Col. C. S. Douty, which had been detached from Col. J. J. Gregg’s brigade for that purpose, came np to the contest, and by a desperate charge aguiust the rebel battery of four guns and a regiment ot mounted Missis- sippi infantry, the tide was turned in ourfavor, and the rebels were, routed with loss—the horses galloping over the field riderless, and all of the foe that had not been killed being eaptured. But the victory was dearly bought, by the loss of the gallant Col. Douty, who fell mor- tally wounded. The fight lasted four hours, and some officers who participated and who have been in other fights say it was most des- perate, such cutting and slashing with sabres not haying occurred before in our encounters with Rebel cavalry. As soon as the Rebels red they were driven in the direction of Ashby’s Gap, and as they were going toward the latter, the Ist Rhode island cavalry, Col. Duffie, which had advanced through Thorongh- fure Gap, intercepted the retreating Rebels at Middleburg, five miles trom Aldie, andjmade a charge upon their rear, compelling the Rebels tomove yet faster towards Ashby’s Gap, the Rhode Island boys following them up. Colonel Kilpatrick heard from the latter that they were still fighting at 7 o’clock p. m., but ne subsequent information as to the result of the contest at that point has yet been re- ceived. The force thus engaged was the advance of the rebel General Stuart’s cavalry, who, it is alleged by prisoners, was adyancing thus through Aldie with the expectation of mak- ing a new raid. Our loss is estimated at 200 in killed, wound- ed and missing. We captured over 100 pri- soners and a battle flag belonging to the sth Virginia cavalry. Among the killed, besides Col. Douty, were Capt. G. J. Summatt, of the ist Maine, and Lients. D. Whittaker and Martinson, of the 2d New York. The remains of the above were breught to. this city in charge of Lieut. E. W Whittaker, (brother of Lieut. W., killed,) aid to Col. Kilpatrick, and Adjutant A. P. Russell, of the Ist Maine. The bodies will be embalmed by Drs. Brown & Alexander, preparatory to being conveyed to their late homes in Maine and Connecticut. The fact that the fight was so desperate is explained by the importance of the position to be gained, i.e. the commanding Gap at Aldie in the Bull Run and Cacoctin ridge. Gen, Pleasanton was pushing on at last ac- counts in the direction of Snicker’s Gap.
