THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY....0...........e-SULY 2, 1863. | | ! @ READING MATTER ON RYERY PAGE. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- | GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. RANK IN THE ARMY. The question of rank between the Major Ger- erals of the army has been decided by the Board of Officers to which it has been submit- | ted by determining the following order of pre- , cedence: Major General McClellan, appeinted May 14, 1961, to take rank from same date. | Majer General Fremont, appointed July 1, to take rank from May 14, 1861. Major General Banks, appointed June 5, to take rank May 16, 1861. Major General Dix, appointed June 14, to take rank May 16, 1561. | Major General Butler, appointed May 16, to | takerank May 16, 1861. The decision is upon two grounds: First, that an appointment may be ente-dated by the President, as in Gen. Fremont’s case; and, second, that the oréer in which the names stood in the list when the appointments were sentinto the Senate determines the rank be- tween Gens. Banks, Dix, and Butler. without regard to the actual date of appointment by the President. ; THE MOVEMENT ON RICHMOND Yesterday's New York Post says- A letter received in this city to-day confirms the statement that Generals Dix and Keys are moving on Richmond with a heavy force. Our troops lett Fort Magruder on the 23d ult., and arrived at White House on the 27th, marching in the day time and encamping at night. The | letter says: j “We are now thirty-five miles from Williamsburg and twenty-one from Richmond. Ithink that before you can answer this we will either haye the city or be repulsed «General Keyes told us this morning that he would be in Richmond by next Thursday, jfat all within the range of possibility.’ Seniors AccipENT to; M LINcoLn.— | This morning, at about ten e’clock, as Mrs, | Lincoln was passing in her carriage across the open lot near the Mount Pleasant Hos- pital, the driver's seat suddenly became de- tached from the rest of the carriage, and the coachiman was precipitated tothe ground At this accident the spirited horses immediately took iright, and dashed along with fearful ye- locity. Mrs. Lincoln was quite alore in the carriage at the time, but, seeing the imminent danger she was in, with courage and presence of mind | remarkable at so critical a moment, sprang quickly from the carriage, while the horses were running ai full speed. Though for the moment stunned, she most fortunately received no more serious injury from her fall than sey- eral seyere bruises. From the most severe of these—one on the back of the head—the blood flowed freely. | Several surgeons from the Mount Pleasaut | Hospital were instantly upon the spot, and ad- | munistered promptly to her injuries. So soon | As it was ascertained that the injuries, though painful, were notof aserious character,and | that no bones were broken, it was decided that she could be safely transported to the White House. The original design, therefore, of con- | veying her to the Mount Pleasant Hospital was abandoned. A carriage passing at the time was taken possession of, and Mrs. Lincoln, | now quite recovered trom her fright, was placed in it. THOSE INDICTMENTS.—Yesterday morning, | at 4 o'clock, while quietly angling for trout, taylor, rock, perch and hog fish, the editor of the Star received a telegram announcing that the grand jury for this District and county had seen fit to indict him for treason on ac- count of the republication from the Philadel- phia Press of a letter from the army that had appeared in mearly all of the daily papers of | the cities before being copied into ours. We | immediately crossed the Chesapeake by steam- | er, and taking the cars at Annapolis reached Washington in time to repair, ere night-fall, to the presence of one of the judges of our Su- | preme Court and give bail for our appearance for trial. j We have nothing at this time toadd to our assistant’s plain statement on Tuesday last of all the circumstances attending the Star's re- publication of the article in question from the Philadelphia Press. j ae | and any other intelligent men accustomed to “EXTRA.

Bioopy Ren, July 1.—I have just returned from London Station, 14 miles from Chambers- burg. The Rebels are reported to have left there, after stealing forty horses, and are now decamping in the direction of Greencastle, which rather indicates a retreat towards the Potomac of this portion ot Imboden’s force.

Evacuation of Maryland Heights — The Harper's Ferry Bridge—Confederates at Chariestewn. {From the Baltimore Sun, July 2.] The intense desire for news from the armies in Maryland manifested by the citizens of Bal- timore for several weeks past did notabateone jot yesterday, especially upon its being public- 1) announced that Maryland Heights had been evacuated by the Federal troops, a large num- ber of whom were from this State and city, It was stated in the Sun of yesterday that highly important informetion would be made public during the day in regard to Western Maryland and Maryland Heights. We alluded to the evacuation of the latter place by the Federal troops. This wassuccesstfully accom- plished on Monday night and Tuesday, the troops all being away from there before 12 o’clock on Tuesday night. All the Govern- ment property incidental to a large encamp- ment was removed, ogether with all the guns, (with the exception of u few ot the larger ones, | Which were destroyed,) ammunition, &c. The fortifications were all destroyed. A gentleman who witnessed the dismantling of the latter states that the wreck was very thorough. The woeden portions of the Harper’s Ferry railroad bridge were removed both from the Maryland side and the Potomac side, leaving the iron spans, lately constructed, and forming the eentre ofthisimportant bridge intact. This was done to prevent the Confederates from blowing up the iron structure, which it will now be impossible for them to accomplish, and also to prevent them from using the bridge to cross the Potomac in that vicinity. Gen. French’s forces lately at Maryland Heights, will now take an active part in the present important campaign. A brigade of his | troops are all Marylanders, and are command- | od by Brig. Gen. ‘Kenly, of this city. Their moyements or their present whereabouts can- not be made public at present. Gen. Baylor’s Confederate cavalry appeared | in and around Harper's Ferry on Tuesday . evening, but remained but a short while, reti- ring towards Charlestown, Va., where, it was | stated, a force of Contederates were encamped. | Several Confederate scouts haye been seen in the several days past on the Virginia side of | the Upper Potomac, (London county,) but | none ob then: have attempted to cross the river | to the Maryland side. | The movements of the contending forces in | the remaining portions of Western Maryland | are yet contraband news. | At Westminster, and other pertigns of Car- i roll county, a large force of troopsare passing | and repassing, and we learned from the mili- tary authorities last night that Westminster | was now held bya considerable force of Fiui- eral troops. There have been g:yeral skir- | mishes in the neighborhood, with animportant Tesults. i The Philadelphia railroad wastilright. The | Northern Central Railroad ran trtins as far as Parkton.

WasuincTon, July 1—{Asspciated Press Dispatch.|—Letters of to-day’s ¢ate have been received trom the army of the Potomac, in which the following facts are stuted: Our last moyements haye been charasterized by a marked willingness on the part of the soldiers | to undergo any tatigue which humanendurance can sustain. The rebels recently sent only a small scouting | or reconnoitering party to the vicinity of Fred- erick, are in the beliet that there is no force of the enemy between that city and Hagerstown. The stage proprietor this morning sent out his team trom Frederick to Hagerstown. This tact is stated to show that the intervening distance is believed to be safe to trayelers.

Up to 3 p.m. to-day we had been unable to learn that the authorities nere had received anything official concerning the battle of yes- terday near Gettysburg, P: r, indeed, that aught unofficial on the subject had reached Washington in addition to the information to 4 p.M. of yesterday, published in the first edition of to-day’s Star, It is evident from that that attkat hour the fortune of the day remained undecided. The fact. however, that two more of our army corps were then getiing into the fg_ht, while those two that were engaged had successfully held the ground Longstreet and Hill were striving to drive them from, gives us strong hopes that the next advices from ; thence will indicate a substantial victory for our arms.

CUMBERLAND, Md., June 26.—Editor Star :— | I see various statements as to the doings of Gen. Kelley here, which are without founda- tion. The fact is, that on Wednesday, the i7th inst., the rebels entered this place on one side, while Gen. Keiley and seyeral hundred strag- gling cayalry, from Milroy’s command, de- camped on the other side about the same time; all the treops and military stores having pre- viously been withdrawn. Gen. Kelley made no attempt to drive them out of the town, | either then orsince! The rebels (a small cay- alry force under Imboden) only remained here a few hours, and did no damage. They burnt some bridges and stole some stock and other things in the eastern part of the county. No armed rebels in the county now, that I know of. THE BATTLE AT GETTYSBURG For the first time in the wer a battle has taken place upon the soil of a free state. Get- tysburg, the locale of the battle of yesterday, (and perbeps to-day,) is the eapiial of Adams county, Pa., on the turnpike road frem Phila- delphia to Pittsburg, 114 miles west of the former, and 36 miles southwest of Harrisburg. It stands on elevated ground, in the midst ofa fertile iarming country; has acourt house and public offices built of brick, and is the seat of several collegiate institutions. Its population is about 5,000. PHE LATEST FROM VICKSBURG. The latest official advices from Vicksburg fre up to the 26th ult., when General Grant had succeeded in exploding a mine (in Gen. Logan’s immediate iront) by which a consid- erable breach was made in the rebel intrench- ments. At the time this information left there a severe struggle was in progress for the pos- | session of the breach, in which Gen. Logan was endeavoring to plant cannon. THE FEMALE EXODUS. The steamer that was to haye left Annapolis at 6 @.m. yesterday, carrying several hundred ladies to City Point, did not get off in the course ofthe day.

AND A FIGHT ENSUES, ——— HAREIGBURG, July 1.—Tho last rebel left Carlisle yesterday morning, and the town was occupied by a portion of the Federal forces under Gen. Smith. About5 o'clock the rebel cavalry appeared in large force, having come in on the York road. A rebel officer sent in a flag of truce to Gen. Smith, demanding a surrender of the téWan, which was refused. On receiving Gen. Smith’s reply the enemy opened on the town with artillery, which was promptly replied to. Firing continued with intervals unti} about ten o’clock when the reb- els fell back in the direction which they came. Before leaving they burned the barracks, gas works and one dwelling. Many building suf- fered consider2bly from tho rebel artillery, The Court House was struck several times. When the enemy opened the excitement among the citizens was very great. The women and children either fled or hid themselves in cellars. Our loss was three killed. The rebel loss is not known. After the enemy retired they sent in another | flag of truce notifying the citizens to leave, as they intended to renew the attack to-day. This evening the enemy’s pickets are in sight | Mr. B. go into that house in the day time du- Up to noon mo news has been received of a renewal of the attack.
