HOOKER’S ARMY. Wasumaton, June 25, 1668. ‘The Pennsylvania reserves, under Brigadier General ‘Crawford, have beeb transferred from the Department of ‘Washington to the Army of the Potomac. Their number “has been increased by the return to service of many who ‘were disabled or wounded in the many battles through whioh they have Applications have been made “by the officers and desires expressed by the men to be ‘Jed against the enemy now invading their native State. ‘The prospect of active service has inspired much enthu- siasm among the reserves. It is understood that General French has been assigned ‘to the command of Harper's Ferry. A reconnoissance went yesterday within several miles of Culpepper, but found only a few rebel scouts. A large number of sick and wounded were this after- ‘von transferred to the hospitals in this vicinity from the ‘Virginia sido. Mr. L. A. Hendrick’s Letters. HBADQUARTRAS, IN THE FigLD, June 21, 1863. MARCHING ORDERS. At two o'clock this morning came marobing orders for “a division of this corps. In half an hour the division was ou the road, attended by the artillery, Brigadier General Weed in command. It had been raining and the Toads were heavy, and the intense darkness made the “commencement of the march rather uncomfurtable; but *¢he mon eagerly shouldered their guns and knapsacks in enthusiastic anticipation of an exciting time, WHERE WH WERN GOING. 1e was known that the division was going to the ipport of General Pileasanton’s cavalry, who ‘wes to renew his attack on the vanguard of the enemy at daylight. Our men went in ‘Ught marching order. There was no straggling, and the men moved rapidly ‘Tee HALT. Just beyond Middjeburg the column baited. The First ‘and Second brigades remained behind as reserves, and tho Thted brigade, Colonel Strong Vincent, Eighty-third Pennsylvania, commanding, advanced, with Captain Tid- Dall’s and Captain Martin’s batteries, to protect the ~@avairy that wore just aboad. IN LINK OF BATTLE. Coming upon a belt of wood about a miie beyond Mid- ieburg, Colonel Vincent placed his brigade in line of ‘Dattle, and, sending a portion of the Sixteenth Michigan, “Colonel Welch, ahead as skirmishers, advanced into the ‘woods, This was between five and six o'clock. Mean- ‘time the opposing cannon had opened their hostile fires. TAR yicHT. ‘There was hot work for a time. Our infantry and Datteries advanced with the advancing cavalry, our bat- ‘tories severely punishing the enemy with grape and ‘sohrapoe!l, and our own men being ex; to the enemy's shelis and occasional Austrian rifles fired from ‘behind atone fences. All the damage our infantry sus- ‘tained was from these shells; but they managed to give ‘the caomy at intervals the benefit of their musketry, Burling riders headiong from their horses, picking off rebel ‘ es ‘and Iaying low battery horses.

From traces of bivod it was evident thar the firing of the imfantry wounded several of them, but not sufficiently, it seems, to prevent their clinging tw their horses, mnystery is that our musketry volley did not unhorse every one, of that the whole party was not sur rounded and bagged. yaLries, © We had one man killed, Sergeant Aumiller, of Company D, Seventeenth Pennsylvania cavalry, which completes the list of casualties on our side.

VINCENT’S BRIGADE OF INFANTRY mentsin Maryland and Virginia. Puitapecenia, June 26—2 A. M. The Washington Star says :— Thore is nothing known to justify the ourrent story that Lee has one hundred thousand men at Winchester. There is no probability in the account saying that a large force of rebels was yesterday evening moving from the direction of Boonsboro to Frederick. if true, however, it simply proves that Lee preposes to steal in as many directions as possf- ble and over as great an extent of territory as possible in the shortest possible time, for he cannot be swooping West to Pittsburg with large armies directed against each, while he also tarries at Winchester with 100,000 men, such being the tenor of the various accounts coming to Wash ington’since our last issue, Im truth, up to two o'clock this afternoon, we have been able to learn nothing justifying the change of Impres- sion we lately published, that Lee's main object In coming north was to attack Washington if he can induce Hooker to scatter bis army, and that he is now trying to accomplish that object, while at the same time supplying his forces from Maryland and Pennsylvania with absolutely necessary things, of which the rebel ter- ritory within his reach is utterly exhausted. The most deplorable fact involved in the situation is the certainly apparent utter incompetency of the people of Pennsylvania to protect themselves, and aid the cause ‘even to the poor extent of driving their horses and cattle north, and concealing their coveted other gooda before the different littie equads of rebel cavalry pounce on them.

LATRST DATRS FROM VICKSBURG are to the evening of the 15th, brought to Mempbis by the steamer Luminary, and thence to ttis place by the Impe- rial, which latter boat only arrived a few momonts since, From an intelligent gentieman connected with the mill- tary department, aud in whose word implicit confidence oan be placed, I fearn the following facta:— A RMREL COMMISCARY OFFICER bailed some gentiomen connected with one of Grant's working parties on the afternoon of the 14th instant, from an adjacent parapet, saying that they (the Unionists) were giving themselves & great amount of unnecessary trouble, and doing a great deal of hard work that might ‘as well be left undone. All they had got to do, he said. was to keep quict and waitafow es, and the city Vicksburg would be theirs. Of course no great amount of truth could be expected from the source whence this tale came; but whether the rebol officer told the truth or lied it makes but very little difference. The con- current testimony of hundreds carries the conviction home to the heart that the garrison cannot hold out much, longer. Their provisions are nearly exbausted. Pember ton woul! have givea up weeks ago had he not feared the rebel condemnations of ‘‘coward’’ and ‘traitor’ would have been repeated in connection with bis name, as they had already been coupled on previvus oceasious. ‘Now he will not give up until compelled to do so. RRURLA WAKING UP. On the same day spoken of above, the 14th inet., the rebels experienced a revival in their defensive endeavors. It was of no particular importance, as far as results were concerned, but secmed to show that Pemberton was not yet dead, hor even napping. Some heavy guna belonging to a work of no mean pretensions, located upon our teft— or rather fronting our left—opened fire and for a time kept up the operation with considerable vigor, causing colored men laboring in the approaches to skedadd: more convenlent and not quite 90 warm quarters. Rut none were seriously hurt—only alittle frightened. This piéce of impudence on the part of the foe was quickly followed up by & corresponding show af metal on our side. Some heavy canuon, previously placed to command the point, in anticipation of an attack, responded to the fire. ‘The hoavy missiles from our guns went thick and fast, with unerring aim, drove the men away from the rebel battery, broke in the embrasure, scattered carriages to atoms, and in ten mivutes silenced the entire battery, having roudered it entirely useices and harmless, IN TH FRONT. On the afternoon of the 15th the rebels tried a game of the same character on the front, somewhere near Logan’s position, and with somewhat similar success. Thoy fired shot and shell occasionally duriug the entire afternoon, at considerable intervals, at wild range, but with no results worth speaking of. Our entire loss from killed, wounded and misaing in the grand army in the rear of Vicksburg, on the 14th and 15th, could not have couuted np to more than ten or twelve men, and these were principally color- ed men working in parties ypon the approaches, and who were in extra ¢: itions, = taxis ‘The new order of néral Hurfbut in Memphis, requir- ing resitents to take the onth of allegiance to the United States or declare themselves as enetnies, has had an ex cellent effect, About eleven thousand had taken the oath At lant accounts, while the real registered enemies did wot reach one dozen. Tt 1s said that from some reason or other some favor has been shown to wealthy secessionists, by means of which they have been released from taking either oath or declaration. This has created some indig: nation, and deservediy so. Should it be found to be a fact that favor has been shown any one in Memphis in this regard, we may look for a spesdy panishment of the offenders at the hands of General Gravt and the govern- ment authorities.

The rider of Edgar, the celebrated Gilpat- as if with the m- Raoning well with possossed inning well —with- im herself, however, and steadily ridden according to her clever owner and trainer's orders, she maintained ber secondary position, patiently awaiting until her time had come. The second mile was run in 14844, Edgar four Jengths before Idlewild, and the latter half a dozen before Dangerous. Time of the two miles 3.4714. The third mile saw these positions unaltered, the time being 1:61, or 5:384, for the entire three miles. And now the excite- mont began to culminate on the last mile, and many who were not acquainted with the speed aud lasting qualities of the one-eyed mare imagined that she could never wrest the lead from the game son of Star Davis. It was not until the half mile pole was reached and passed that the rider of Idlewild gave her the opportunity she had evidoutly 80. ardently desired, for, rapidly closing en Ka. gar, she challenged and collared ‘him for the lead, and, passing him with apparent ease, came up the homestretch w the stand three lengths in front, and winning the race in the unprecedented time of sven minutes twenty siz and a quarter seconds, The position of Jerome Fdgar at the “aiah showed that he could have made his time close oa while Dangerous, although rider pulled bin he found that he could not win, was so clove up, that even bis time would have beaten or at least been close upon that of Fashion The announcement of the extraordinary time created groat excitement. The declaration of Capt. Moore, which we published yesterday, that, if there was anytbin the race to press his mare to ber speed, Fashion st would assuredly be beaten, was realized to the letter, The merit of this performance will be better seen by a comparison of the respective weights carried by Idlewild and Fashion, The former carried yesterday 117 Ibs., as a six year eld, being the south Carc weight, under which the race was run year old, carried 111 ibs., which was the Northern stand- ara. Lexington, when he beat Lecomte in 7 minutes 28 seconds, at four years old, only carried 100 Iba ing to the Southern rules, being four pov ess than he would have had to carry had he run in the) {& no doubt that in the race yesterday J reduced the tinevat least three seconds her victory achieved.

The former was the ‘avorite, selling in pools for fi Bil Davia bringing $40 and Gray Dou $7 60. The latter was sold by suction for $240 previous to the race.

Ab the half-mile the filly was still leading, with Pall Davis, who had peared the gray, a length bebind. From this’ point the raco was virtaally over, aa Seven Oaks, without being approached, won easly by two lengths in 1465¢—Hill Davis a length before the gray. ‘Second Heat.—The gray got off badly: but a fine race qnayed betwee the other two, both running head and bead to the half-mile, where Bill Davis showed in front. A splendid struggle up the homestretch ensued, the gray, who had closed up rapidly on the third quarter, looking &# good as anything but, the other two runing the faster, the race was left to them, Bill Vag eae beating the Gilly, who tired within « dozen lengths of home, by three lengths, in 149, The rider of the gray judiciously pulled him up wben be found bis chance of ‘the beat cove.
