On., that day, according to the telegram, "great excitement and alarm per vaded the entire country." The dispatches of the 17th increased the great excitement and alarm. The rebels.S.pOOstrong.were at Cumberland, Md., and the inhabitants were flying from Harper's Fer ry to a place of safety. Business was suspended at Harriaburg, and the State papers removed from tbe Capitol.: The terror was increased bn the same day by a telegram from Milroy that he had been beaten at Winchester aftd lost 2,9&0 men. .Tbls News caused -Gov. Curtin, of Pa., to cairbul 50,000 tn.en to defend the State, and in the proc lamation he gets frightened out of his temper and bitterly reproaches Philadelphia for not sending troops when the enemy are already in Chambers burg.

In Philadelphia, the Mayorji on the 16th, issued an order closing the stores, in or- der that tbe occupants may join military organi zations to; defend the city.

"We take the following particulars of this af fair from the correspondence of the Richmond L pispatch : . Staunton, Va., June 18 several days ago 1 could nave written you quite an interesting communication, had I been willing to receive half the stories brought to this place trom tbe lower valley. I preferred to wait for such details as could be relied on. I have this tnoming conversed with a gentleman who was with tbe army during tbe late important transac tions, and who lefl Winchester Tuesday morning, and 1 will give you a few items derived from pirn. Our glorious Ewell under-whom I served du ring last year's campaign, and for whom I olten felt jealous (though he never felt jealous for him sell) nas inaeea c&ugnt tne mantle ot tbe as cended Jackson. Brilliantly has he re-enacted the scenes of the spring of '62, on tbe same thea itre. Haying first occupied every road approaching Winchester, Jackson like, he made a road leaving v --- 1 . -w-w . . line y auey turnpiKe near li.ernnown and stretcn- iing accroi3 the Komney road, and for six miles 'further on, bearing towards the Martinsburg froad. By means of this road, he led his army half around the town, and attacked the enemy. who were expecting an attack from forces oh the Mantmsburg road, on the flank and rear. The ;surprise was complete. So little were they an ticipating an attack from tbe direction iu which it came, that they bad placed there all the wag on trains, wnicu in us actually were oetween us land them. j. It seems that skirmishing all around was going -r . 1 . - 1 f . . . . r- n xi aiso coniiDuea ouna&y, ana on tnat any Jewell, with great secresy and with painful toil, con ducted his army over the new road, getting them into position about 6 P. M., when the cannonade commenced.- It continued for two and a half hours, during which tbe Louisiana brigade gal lantly charged, with cheers, the enemy's outer works, and took possession of them.'- Here dark ness closed active operations, but on Monday morning tne enemy, utterly disorganized, evacu ated tbe town, leaving horses, .wagons, commissa ry and medical stores and artillery. They seemed to have destroyed nothing. Some ithreo 07 four hundred wagons were secured ; also, sixty pieces of cannon, and 2,800 horses, among which a large number were unusually fine ani mals.. j Throe miles above the town a brigade en masae iwas captured, principally, 1 believe, by the im jmortal "Stonewall Brigade." Besides this, du- jring to day large numbers of prisoners, in squads, iw being brought in. Ihe avenues of exit from the place were strew ed with knapsacks and clothing of the fugative?. it was teared . tbe brute Milroy had escaped, but if so, it was after the style in which his mas ter Lincoln entered Washington: (Our loss in killed and wounded does not exceed 200. Of course we lost none in prisoners.- The ene my's loss in kill nd, wounded was comparatively small, but we appear to have captured nearly the Whole force, amounting to 6,000 or 7,t)0O. Prob ably at least as many muskets as prisoners were taken. I CAPTURE OF THE CONFEDERATE ! J STEAMER ATLANTA. ! j Dispatches Teceived in this city yesterday from jSavannah, announce the capture by the enemy of j the-Con federate iron-clad steamer Atlanta. It iisiststed that the Atlanta, under the command jot Capt.

She was then taken in tow i by the captors and carried out to sea.

Among the registered enemies of the United Stales government, who have .been recently sent across the lines, from. New Orleans, there is now in this city a lady whose adventures placesher in the raw.ksof the Molly Pitchers of the present revolution. At the breaking out of. the war, Mrs. Laura J. Williams rth to" whom we allude.) wan a rMidant of Arkansas. Like most or tne . women 1 1 . , y - j ------ the South, her whole soul was. enlisted in the truggle lor independence. Her husbaud was a NAihot(i mn - bv birth and education, ana a tron- Union man. After Arkansas seceded from the Union, he wen w uonnecucut, ub uu, w ow? . . . a. : ut hia relations ana seme up mi uusiums.. jib. VVillinmn ausnected his purpose, and anally sue received information that he bad joined the Yan kee army. Possessing little of the characteristic weakness of her sex. either in body or mind, airs W." vowed to offer her life- upon. the altar cf her mntitrv.

She wrote to her lather, and then came on down tn Grenada, where she waited tor some time, but never saw or heard from him. She then -visited New Orleans, waa taken 'Ick, and while sick the city was captured. On r ery, she retired to the coast, where she. emp. -ov- yed nerseu in carrying commuQicauoua, asoionu par ties to run the blockade with drugs and clot .3 for uniforms.' She .was informed on by a negn and arrested, and brought before Gen. Butler. She made her appearance before lien, tfut.ler ;i a Southern homesDun dresp. She refused to tak he oath, told him she gloriejifn being a rebel- iad fought side by side with Southern men tor 00 in- ern rights, and if he evei lived to see "Dixie" she would do it again, sutler denounced ner as the most incorrigible she rebel he bad ever met with. Uv order of tbe .Beast she was placed in eonfinementJ where she remained three months Some time after her relase,she was arrested again far carrying on "contraband correspondence," and kept in ik dungeon fourteen days on bread and water, .at the expiration ot wmcn- time sbe was placed in the State prison as a dangerous eneiaj. Her husband, it so bappeaed, was a Lneutenant m the 13th Connecticut regiment, ana on duty as Provost Guard in the city. He accidentally found her out end asked if she wanted to see him. She sent him word sbe never wanted to see him so long as he wore the Yankee uniform. But he forced himself upon her, tried to persuade her to take the oath, get a release, when kesaid he would resign to take her to his relationr in Connecticut, She indignantly spurned his proposition, and be left her to her fate. When Qen. Banks assumed command he released a great maay prisoners, but kept her in confinement until tbe 17th of May last, when she was sent across tbe lines to Meades- ville with the registered enemies. An article was recently. published in the New York "World" in relation to the part Mrs. Wil liams has played in this war, but tbe above is, we are assured, a true account of her remarkable ca reer. We understand she has attached herself to the medical stiff of a brigade now in this city, and will render all assistance in her power to our wounded in the approaching struggle for posses sion of the gceat Valley of the Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., June 6, 18G3. YAM KEE CRUELTY- NEGROES DROWN- ED. rne rtichmona vispatcn 01 Wednesday says one et tbe most atrocious incidents ot tne war was yesterday related to us by a gentleman of this city, who c btained the fact from Capt. Jas. G. White, of King William county, who vouches for the accuracy of the statement. Some days ago, when the Yankees made their raid to Aylett's, they visited the place of Dr. Gregg's, living in- the neighborhood, and took from their comfortable homes forty-three negroes, who were hurried off 10 York river and placed on board a vessel bound northward. Along with these negroes, as a prisoner, was a gentleman named -Lee, a resident and highly respected citizen of King William county, who has since' been ro'eased and allowed to return to his home. He states that when the v"1 arrived in Chesapeake Bay tbe small poxrl I .j. 11 1 a 1 "aue us appearance among me negroes, mat ais- ease having existed to some extent among tbe same family before they were dragged from their homes in King William. The Captain of the Yankee vessel and his crew were greatly alarmed at the appearance of the disease on board, and very soon determined to rid the vessel of the presence of the negroes. Without attempting to maae the shore, and, not considering tor . an instant the inhumanity of the cruel deed,-the whole negro cargo was thrown into the Bay, hn! every one left to perish by drowning. Not perhaps, escaped the cruel fate visited upon by those who profess to be their earnest 1 and warmest sympathizers. .fs Uriqham Young.
