A battle appears not unlikely to take
place at Harrisburg to-day. The rebels
have reached within twelve miles of the
city, and every preparation was made to
receive them. Every man in Harrisburg
is said to have shouldered a musket for
the defence of the capital. Our pickets,
eighteen miles fromtHarrisburg, have been
driveti in and a number of them captured.
There was a report that the Northern Central
Bailroad was destroyed at York Ha- j
wen, and that the rebels occupied York
without resistanoe. The most intense ex- ;
citement prevails. .. I
. The Susquehanna is rising, and gives
promise that all the fords will soon be im- !
passable. '
The army of the Potomac has changed
its position, and ?ill soon bl at the north
of Baltimore, awaiting the advance of
X*ee'8 forces in that direction.
The rebel privateers have made a daring ;
attack in the witters of Portland harbor. >
They succeeded?in cutting the revenue
cntter Caleb Cashing out, putting her
crew in irons' and running out to sea. ,
She was promptly followed by two steam
<irs, armed and manned by the citizens of
____ Portland, and came up with twelve miles
down the bay, and proceeded to board her, i
when the rebels abandoned her, and made
, for a schooner lying near by, blowing up
the Cashing at the same time. When the
Cusliing was set on lire the rebels, and the
-original crew of the cutter, put off in their
boats. They were all captured, however, ;
and brought back to Portland.
The schooner was the fishing boat Archer,
which the rebett had seized some 1
days ago, manned by the officers and crew
of the pirate Tacony, which they had
burnt, as she was so closely surrounded
by the Federal vessels in pursuit of her.
Forty vessels were destroyed off Cape
Sable by the rebel pirates within the last
few days.
