HAXOVEB JUXCTIOX, X. C. Kit 1 Saturday, June 27, 12'k. The Refugees. The difficulty of obtaining correct informttion trom the interior of the border counties of Pennsylvania is great.

Refugees are plenty, but their statements are at such variance that it ia almost impossible to extract the truth. It is with pleasure that I have just obtained tho etories of Postmaster Bctehxeb, of Gettysburg, and Ucil States Assessor Eobket G. Haupkr, whaive particulars of the Eebel move me nt on Gettysburg up to Friday night. Excitement at Gettysburg. The excitement pervading Adams county, of which Gettysburg is the county seat, had reached such a height Lost week that hnndrcd of farmers had sent all their horses and cattle to more socuro points.

Many of tho women and children had also left their homes. The arrival of the First City Troop, from Philadelphia, did not allay the fever, particularly as the members commenced to fell trees and blockade many of the roads leading from the South Mountain, near which it was belie the Rebels were encamped. A cavalry company, under Captain Bell, was also organized in Gettysburg, and preparations were made by Governor Cubtis to send a body of infantry to assist in the defense of the section. Colonel Jenninjs Kepment. On Thursday afternoon last, in accordance with the instructions ot the military authorities of the State, the Twenty-sixth Eegimont Pennsylvania Volunteers, commanded by Colonel jExxrsGS, and coraposod principally of volunteers from the border counties, was despatched in a special train for Gettysburg.

"When they had reached a point on the railroad seven miles distant from the p'ace, the locomotive struck a cow, throwing the cars from the track and breaking them up, tut not injuring any of tho BOidiers. It became impossible for the regiment to proceed, and a detail of one hundred men was ordered to march the intervening distance, and act as scouts in tho vicinity of Gettysburg. The remainder of the command spent the night in the cars uti the railroad track. Cebcl Position on Thursday. But the hundred men were too tired after their eoren mile march, to go beyond Gettysburg, and on the same evening of their arrival (Thursday), somo of the mounted scouts of the City Troop came into town, and reported that the Kebel pickets had appeared at Cashtown, the main" tody of tho Con federate forces being in the rear, on the slope of Sooth Mountain.

(Cashtowti is eight miles from Gettysburg. This was tho last news on that nTght, and ou the succeeding Friday morning, the remainder of Colonel Kegiment arrived at Gettysburg. An Alarm. The line of march was then continued to a hill at Marsh Creek, three miles beyond Gettysburg, and the pickets were thrown out so aa to be almost within sight ot those of the Rebels. This state of affairs did not continue even long enough for our infantry to pitch their tents and unload ihe stores in the train in which they had arrived.

The pickets came hurrying into the newly formed and partly organized camp, and stated that the Rebels were advancing in force from Cashtown and South Mountain on Gettysburg. They were reported, and very to be moving along the turnpike, both with cavalry and infantry. Retreat of Colonel Jenninra. It became apparent that Colonel Jexktsgs eonld ofier no adequate resistance to such a force and he commenced to fall back. The only available points to which he could retiro were Harrieburg or each eighteen miles distant, which his men would have to march without stares, which were left in the cars.

After some skirmishing, without loss, the necessities of the case forced themselves more plainly into view, and the marched commenced. A party of about eighty Rebel cavalry hovered around the rear of our retreating troops, and an-noved them by an occasional discharge of carbines, resulting, however, up to the time my informant left, in no loss of hfe. Several captures of stragglers, however, were effected. The greater part of the regiment, I have since learned, made their way safely to our lines, although it was supposed that they would either be totally cut up or captured. Destruction of a Train of Cars.

The train of cars which had conveyed the regiment, and which was left standing at the depot at Gettysburg, next claims attention. The engine had gone, and there was no means by which it could bo moved towards a place of safety except by manual labor. As it was on a descending grade, it was started, and acquired sufficient momentum to run about half a mile this side of Gettysburg, and beyond a bridge over Rock Creok. Here it was allowed to stand. The men who had been entrusted with its care had no resource but to walk to Hanover.

They ventured to go to bed (almo6t worn out) at the town of Oxford, on the route, but were obliged to wake up and "skedaddle" at midnight. They all reached Hanover in safety. When the Rebels entered Gettysburg, which was on Friday afternoon, about three o'clock, they set fire to the bridge over Rock Creek, and then pushed the cars into the burning structure, making a complete wreck. The cars were thirteen in number, eight of them being owned by the Pennsylvania Central and five by the Korthern Central Railroad Company. Several of them contained the stores of Jxxktbqb' Regiment, which -were either destroyed or seized by the Rebels for their own use.

Kebel Encampment on Friday. On Friday night, after their exploit, the enemy encamped on Wolf's farm, half a mile from Gettys-bure They told Wolf that their force was eight thousand cavalry and infantry. They were commanded by General who gave Wolf a pass, and sent him to Hanover, to buy, beg, borrow or steal a horse, threatening him, that unless he returned with the animal, he (Wolf) would find his house destroyed. The singular spectacle would therefore have been presented of a good Union man, hunting in a good Union town (Hanover) for a horse for a Rebel General! This spectacle was prevented by the Provost Guard of Hanover, to whom Mr. Wolf was handed, having been arrested while on one horse, soliciting another.

The pass which he carried was in the following words "Mr. George Wolf has trone to his place after a horse tor me. He pickets "Ueorgb RoBixeoir, Adjutant. "June 22d, Jitkctios, 2 P. M.

Of Oew 45 for Co daybreak the enemy opened heavy masked batteries iour mil os irom lucnester, on tne Ataruns-burg road, supported by a lorce of infantry and cavalry, much superior to our organized regiments excluding the mouuted and dismounted fugitives. it is certain that the enemy had, probably from consciousness of overwhelming numbers, anticipated our retreat, and not only had foreseen the exact route which would be taken, but had suflicient force to place us in a position so as to capture us all, as doubtless they confidently expected. The large unorganized and unofli'-ered body, of course, ran at the first fire, creating some apprehension of panic, which was, however, by no means shared by the really military force. Some of the best fighting of the war was done at this time, and especially by the Eighry-seveuth Pennsylvania, Sixty-seventh Pennsylvania, and One-hundred-and-tenth Ohio, which regiments made several determined charges upon the enemy's batteries, and lost severely. The orders to the Thirteenth were to charge the enemy's cavalry, on the left of the Martinsburg road, which was done so effectually that they broke in all directions.

The remment was then formed considerably to the right of the road, under the shells of the enemy, and was ordered to move towards the batteries, which was done, drawing the fire from both right and left. The batteries weie so nlaced aa to be iuaccessi Die to a charge from that direction. At the time tnat this cauntlet was run. the in fanirv had commenced to withdraw, and the battle was virtually over, but, for four miles, the enemy's shells were received, and the enemy's cavalry encountered. The regiment then took up the line of march adopted by General Milroy, and, arriving at Harper's Ferry, via Charlestewn.

was ordered to eucamn on Mar v. land Heights. Ihe regiment on arriving numbered 302 enlisted men and the following oGicers FIELD ANT STAFF OFFICERS. Lieutenant -Colonel GaejUCK Mallery. Major M.

A stray newspaper has mentioned that Colonel who had, during the action, become separated from the regiment oy some accident, and who was lamented as missing, appeared with some part of it near Cumberland, and it is probable, also, that others have succeeded in cutting their way through; so that, although the icgiment kept well together, and came in to the poiit ordered in a more organized condition than any ether, it is impossible, judging only from the number present, to report the mining as lo6t, for having been deprived fcr a week from communication with the outer world, may not have news of some oi thosd who aro sale and doing duty elsewhere.

I will only add a notice of a very absurd article in the Baltimore American of the 18th instaut, wluch speaks of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania as having in the engagement at iiarticsburg, and "run ning at the lirst lire." There is no "Thineenth Pennsylvania regiment," and if it means the Thirteenth FennsyivEiiia Cavalry, the One-hundred-axid-seven-teeiiUi of the hue, all 1 have to say is that the regiment was never at or near Martinsburg, but was, at the tiiuo, fighting well at Winchester.

The latter conduct themselves with propriety, but the former are evidently angry at being torn from their homes, and join their infantile chorus to the shrill screams of locomotives, the earnest words of railroad employees, and the commands' of military officers who are loading the military and hospital stores on the cars. It is not long before a few wounded men are also carried along, and close behind them, with steps that totter, is an old colored woman, who age Is, apparently, so great that sho might have been the original one who fondled Geoegk Washington.

A despatch ree-ived by the aent of Aaams' Express Company, telling him to quit, does not rssen the bustle.

The military forces, who are guarding the bridges near the town on the railroad, snow no desire to iollow their bajrgae and stores. Add to the actors in the above scene, hundreds of residents who have come to the depot to bid their friends "good-bye," and then sprinkle the whole with a cloud of dust, and the picture will be as complete as it is for me to draw in a hurried moment. John W. Welsh, a member of tie Citv Troop, was captured at Uettbnrg. It was caused bv an injury sustained by Mr.

Welsh's horse. The a-iimal was urabie to trot, and before its owner coald procure another it became absolutely necessary to leave the place. Mr. Welph, I believe, is a son o'f Kelson Y. Welsh, of Philadelphia.

There are thousands of people leaving thetr homes and making for tho bridge over the SnsqnehtEBa. On arriving a this bridge and crore'ng into Columbia, the crowd is found almost equal to tb at which has so recently been left at York.

Tork was captured by the Rebels one hour after the grand skedaddle. This is the substance of a despatch which has just arrived. Ihe authorities surrendered the town. The march ot the Rebels must have been exceedingly rapid, and there is reason to 1 eliere they followed the regular turnpike road between Gettysburg and Tork. The news has thrown a firebrand iiito the dwellers of Columbia, and the soldiers who guard the works at the eastern end of the Susquehanna bridsre begin to understand that the work they may be called upon to perform may be no chiUPs p'ay.

It Is at this time to recall a telegraphic despatch, fished "from trie recessos of one's pocket, and dated Hanover, 1 P. statius that "everything is safe, and that it would be advisable to send a train Hp for two deserters who had been captured." Tie Rebels must have entered the delightful little town of Hanover about thirty minutes after the despatch was sent, and any train which mijht have been sent would have met an untimely fkfe.

At York the same story was told, and at Carlisle there was no variation. It is very sad to witness the troubles of these people.

Camf Thirteenth Pennstlvania Cavalry, Maryland Heights, June 24, 1SG3. It must necessarily be interesting to your readers to know of the late actions and present condition of a regiment recruited among them, and with whose members many of them are connected. The Thirteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry was, on the 12th stationed at Winchester, and was on that day, as many times before, ordered on scouting duty. There was then no reason to suppose that the enemy meditated a general advance, but they were always to be found in some number. On the Strasburg road, about twelve miles from Winchester, they were on that day encountered in a large body.

The Thirteenth charged upon them and then fell back, as nre-arranced, in order to draw the Rebel force, consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry, into an ambuscade of the Eighty-seventh Pennsylva nia and a section of Randolph's Battery. This was perfectly successful, and resulted in the capture of fnrtv-five Rebels, including a captain and two lieu tenants, and the killing and wounding of a large number. The prisoners were taken by our cavalry in another charge, after the infantry had delivered its fire, which was delivered a little too soon, as it did not give time for a sufficient number of the enemy to nass. otherwise more prisoners wouia nave neon cared. Major Kerwib struck down Capt.

Rarson, of the Maryland Battalion, with a sabre cut over the forehead. On Saturday, the 13th. it became evident that a serious movement was taking place, and the greater part of Gen. Milboy'B force was engaged in skir-mishin and fighting on the Strasburg road. During all this day the Thirteenth was actively employed under constant fire, and once savea our lorce irom being flanked on the right.

At night nearly the whole command at Winchester was ordered to support the fortificatiocs, and the Thirteenth with the rest, as, notwithstanding that the enemy had been everywhere repulsed, it was clear that they were advancing in largely superior force. On Sunday the skirmishing and artillery fire continued all the morning and on almost all sides, the Rebels showing themselves in such numbers as almost to surround the entrenchments in a large circle. In this fighting the Thirteenth took part until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the enemy, having apparently, completed all arrangements and ascertained their ground, becan a determined and concentrated attack on the fortifications from the southwestern direction. This was, in its manner and from its direction, at first, almost a surprise, and from that time until after nightfall the battle raged with great fury. The enemy was, notwithstanding repeated desperate charges, repulsed at all points of the inner and more important fortifications, but we suffered a loss of a number of guns and the outer works The Thirteenth was, during the whoie time, under severe fire, and was employed, according to orders in repelling an advance on the Pewtown and Martinsburg road, all of which district was kpt clear.

The officers and men behaved with great coolness and discrimination, and at night the regiment picketed the adjoining country, and protected the forces in and around the forts. About midnight General Mxleoy ordered an evacuation, and at once the regiment bean to move. It at first was the rear guard of the retreat, but was afterwards ordered iorward. The retreating column was lareely composed of mounted teamsters, negroes and camp followers; an effort being made to take away all the hxwes pf the coatmiiiui. aithouiib no AT THE BOARD.
