Baltimore, June 17, 1863.Major-General COUCH,
Harrisburg, Pa.:
The rebel Imboden to-day invested Cumberland with two regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, and a battery. He may try to get west on National road to Wheeling. I have General Kelley looking after him. General Tyler reports the enemy gone from Harper's Ferry, but about 8,000 infantry and cavalry at Williamsport, destroying canal, &c., while their cavalry has gone into Pennsylvania. What can you tell me now of the raid in that direction? Has Carlisle been visited? I have my vedettes out, but can hear nothing yet of any coming in this direction.
