Our Danger.
i he recent events on our border show
.'-hit Pennsylvania must rely on her own
resources for defence. 11*1 the rebels in
tended a raid into this State, or exhibited
half the audacity they did in Maryland,
no man who has any knowlelgc of the
country along the line, can doubt that both
the Pennsylvania and North Central rail
roils could have been seriously injured.
Where these points are it is unnecessary
to state, but the fact that rebel cavalry were
within four hours gallop of the North Cen
tral, and within a day's ride of an impor
tant point on the Pennsylvania, with tin
troops whatever at one and but a few scat
tered guards at the other, ought to impress
upon our rulers that the Potomac ought
never to be suffered to be crossed by the
rebels, snd if the niiltary genius's at Wash
ington cannot prevent it, let Pennsylvania
nd the loyal men of Maryland do it. Our
swn State we verily believe can easily fur
nish 20,000 patriotic men who will in turn
take a three months tour of duty in that
-"egion.
fiW&,Although we are within a few days
march where rebel hordes are endeavoring
'o overthrow our liberties and despoil our
property, the office-hunting hacks of party
continue their foul trade. To-day, when it
would be far -better for all capable of
rearing arms to be acquiring skill to defend
'-heir homes than to listen to political har
anc'ues, a democratic mass meeting is to
assemble in Lewistown ! We shall see
tfhat kind of a "mass" it will be, g,nd wc
see too who at this time attends such
gatherings.
are compelled this week to issue
a half sheet, having now but one hand left
the office, or fail in furnishing a paper
duy. O ur readers however as
Sfitch news as usual
Support the Government.
lhe jireatnt is no tin.3 to discuss the
; claim* of counties or of men to nominations
; for office, and we would therefore simply
I impress upon the minds of voters that by
far the safest course for all patriotic men
to pursue is to put those in office who give
the most hearty and most unequivocal sup
port to the National aud State Adminiatra
i tiotis. As remarked by Messrs. Dickinson
ud Henry—the former a democrat of un
questioned integrity and the latter a sound
j I nion man—we .must support the gov
kUSMRM', or we may look ior still greater
. troubles than have alroady afdicted our
country. To suppose that men, however
honest in purpose, who affiliate and act
with the Vallandigham class of dema
gogues, will givi as hearty a support to
j President Lincoln and the war as those who
' stood by him without equivocation in
j the terrible ordeals he has passed through
| since Buchanan and his traitorous crew ub
dicated the government, is to suppose a
moral improbability, for these men, with
i here and there honorable exceptions, icill
j act as party mm, an 1 under pretence tf
: '-the constitution as it is and the Union as
it was," ihe stale and infamous cry of ••ab
olition," or some other catchwords so indus
triously taught then for years by the now
j rebel leaders, may do incalculable injury,
j Our readers will hear us witness that we
! have more than once predicted that if the
| Buchanan demagogues persisted in their
mad schemes of piftty, that Pennsylvania
would yet become the battleground of con
• tending armies, and how near this came to
. be realized the history of the east few
• weeks will tell. Their aetj and cutiversa
-1 tion have afforded indubitable evidence
that their sympathies and L?e!in.:s have been
with the rebel leaders—that they were wil
ling to restore them to p wer for the sake
of party—and that if they are apparently
more patriotic than formerly, it is because
j the loyally of the masses of the democrat
i ic party lus driven thein into such a puii
i tion.
To entrust these men, and those whom
(hey s? sedulously support as part / < / di
dates on the ground that party must be
kept up, is at best an experiment and put
ting in jeopardy our existence as a nation.
Lot any well meaning citizen u.-k himself
the question what the effect would be in
Europe if the news should . o forth (hut
Pennsylvania had, by a majority of voters,
given expression against the w.tr measures
of our patriotic President by electing a ma
jority to the State Legislature and to Con
gress of pa r ty men who had openly
opposed his administration ? Would not
France and England think it time to rec
ognize the Southern Confederacy,and would
not recognition mean armed intervcuti n ?
Would not rebeldo'T ring with shouts
that Abraham Lincoln, the man whom they
most hated, together with his efforts to pre
serve our nationality, had been condemned
by the great State of Pennsylvania? Most
assuredly such would be the effect, and we
say to him who has been and stiii is stir
ring up party strife, let him beware of the
hour when that consummation approaches,
for in our opinion, and it is one not lightly
formed, it will fx- the dentil knell of this na
tion and of this government
ftesT"The Democrat has sundry slurs at
the Ornish for exercising a constitutional
privilege. That paper is a great stickler
for the constitution when a nigger is con
cerned, but when a white man comes under
it, its provisions are all wrong! Every
Ornish, Tunker, or other men of that stamp
in this county ought to repay this insult by
for once attending the polls to a man, aud
giving the hypoc itical patent democracy,
of which the Democrat is a lair represen
tation, a taste Qf the ballot box. That will
make the whole gang howl, and touch them
in their most sensitive part.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1862.
W A R NEWS,
The Invasion of Maryland.
r roia the crude accounts published
within the past ten days, which created so
much excitement in Pennsylvania, we are
at last able to glean something like the
truth, 'iho rebel forces were variou-ly
estimateu Iroin fiity to three hundred thou
sand men, but the Baltimore American
says an intelligent gentleman, who was in
Frederick city the whole time of the rebel
occupation and saw their rearguard passing
on their way to Hagerstown, estimates that
the whole number of rebels who passed
through Frederick did not exceed thirty
thousand. Other columns may have srone
forward by different routes, but lie is confi
dent that the number of their forces on this
side of the Potomac has Leon exaggerated.
lie is also fully convinced, though the
rebels wore frank in declaring that they
were bound fur Pennsylvania, that such
was their purpose, but that after gath
ering all the supplies within their reach,
they would make for Virginia through Ha
gerstown and \Y illanisport and thence to
Maviinsburg. file rebels have with them
fifteen hundred empty wagons, which there
is no doubt was their purpose to fill.
V hilst in Frederick our informant heard
reports, coining from the rebels, that a di
vision of their forces under Gen. Boring had
attempted to assault our position at Har
pers berry, and had been defeated with
great slaughter by our forces ucuer Col.
Miles. 1 here had undoubtedly been an en
gagement there, as the cannonading could
be heard at Frederick.
A small rebel cavalry furce occupied
Westminster, Carroll county, twenty-eight
miles from Baltimore, on Thursday night.
i heir conduct was generally orderly, and
no injuries were inflicted upon the people
or the town. The post office was searched
and some stamps carried off. The enroll
me: t lists of the county, prepared in view
of tire draft were also seized and destroyed.
They purchased liberally at the stores,
paying in Baltimore and .-outhcrn money.
i lie party left the town at eleven o'clock
next morning, after de-troylng a small
bridge on the Western Maryland Railroad.
Iho destruction ol the westernmost [tier
oi the railroad bridge at the Mouoeacy is
confirmed. It was blown up on Monday
morning.
Ihe in formation from (Jen. McOleilin's
army shows that it has been ;n active
movement towards the line of the Monoc
aey. In this movement there had been
-orne skirmishing and cavalry encounters,
but no serious engagement, the plan of the
rebels apparently not including a prolonged
stay at Frederick or a defence of that point.
Gen. Burnside, who holds the right oi the
army, was on the Frederiel turnpike, be
tween Poolesville and Ridgeville, on Thurs
day, and early nest day the advance under
Gen. Hooker was within four miles of the
city. They entered it during the day.
By ail accounts it appears that wherever
they visited the shoe and clothing stores
were completely bought out with confeder
ate money.
Their next visit was to llagorstown, but
four miles from the Pennsylvania line, with
the Cumberland \ alley open before them.
Here too storekeepers and others suffered
considerable losses, so much so that it is
hoped their secession proclivities have been
effectually cured by their experience of
Jef. Davis's beneficent government.
Since then we have had daily reports of
fighting, but nothing authentic until the
despatches from Gen. McClellan were re
ceived.
A dispatch from Gen. McGlellan, dated
three miles beyond Middletown, September
14—D.40 p. iu., says :
After a very severe engagement the corps
of Gens. Hooker and Reno have carried
the heights commanding the Hagerstown
road. The troops behaved magnificently.
They never fought better.
Gen. Franklin has been engaged on the
extreme left. Ido not yet know the result
except that the firing indicates progress on
his part. The action continued till after
dark and terminated leaving us in posses
sion of the entire crest. It has been a
glorious victory. I cannot yet tell wheth
er the enemy will retreat during the night
or appear in increased force in the morning.
I regret to add the gallant and able Gen.
Reno is killed.
A second dispatch dated September 15,
8 a. rn., says :
I have just learned from Gen. Hooker
in the advance, who states that the infor
mation is perfectly reliable that the enemy
i m iking for the river in a perfect panic,
and (.Jen. Lee last night stated publicly
that he must admit they had been shock
Wgly whipped.
) I am hurrying everything forward to en
aeav rto p;ess their retreat to the utmost.
A third dispatch, dated at Bolivar, Sept
15, 10 a. m., fays:
Information has this moment been re
ceived confirming the rout and demoraliza
tion of the rebel army. Gen. Lee is ro
polled wounded and Gen. Gland wouuded.
Gen. Hooker alone has over 1,000 more
prisoners, 700 having been sent to Freder
ick. It is stated that General Lee gives
his loss at 15,000. We are following as
rapidly as the men can move.
V e have little news this morning. Gov.
Curtin stated last evening at Harrisburg
that he had just received a dispatch from
the War Department, in which he was as
sured that Gen. McClellan was in a most
important position nearSharpsburg. Gen.
McCieilati had Gens. Longstreet, Jackson
and Fwell, who had a combined force of
over 03,000 men under their command,
completely iti his power, and was only wait
ing for the morning fog to disappear before
ho commenced and he wa.s con
fident that lie could cither force them to
surrender or ann hilate their combined for
ces at will. Cannonading had since becu
heard.
The fullowiug extracts from the official
report of Gen. Pope, uuless disproved, go
far to show that there lias been something
wrong. Lot the truth be known.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY or VIRGINIA, )
September 3, i 862. j
General —l have the honor to submit the
following brief sketch of the operations of
this army since the 9th of August:
I moved from Sperryville, Little Washing
tun and Warrenton, with the corps of Banks
and Sigel, and one division of M d'owell's
corps, numbering in all thirty two thousand
men, to meet the enemy, who had crossed the
Rapidan, and was advancing on (Julpe
per. The movement toward Uordonsville had
completely succeeded in drawing off a large
force from Richmond, and in relieving the
Army of the Potomac from much of the dan
ger which threatened its withdrawal from the
Peninsula
The action of Aupust 9, at Cedar Moun
tain, with the fore -s under Jackson, which
Compelled Ins retreatacross the Rapidan, made
necessary still further reinforcements of the
enemy from Richmond; and by this time, it i
being apparent that the Army of the Poto- i
mac was evacuating the Peninsula, the whole j
force of the enemy concentrated around Rich- !
m-itid was pushed forward with groat ranidity j
to crush the Army of \ irginia before the for j
ces evacuating the Peninsula could be united |
wt'i; it. I remained at Cedar Mountain, arid '
still threatened to cross tne Rapidan, until
toe I7t!i o: August, by whirii time General '
Robert Leo had assembled in my front, and j
within eight miles, ;r!v the whole Rebel \
army. As soon as I nscrtnined tiiis fact, |
an ! knew that the army i i the Potomac was i
no longer in <i inger, 1 drew buck my whole !
force across the Rappahannock on the night .
of the 17th and day of the 18th without loss '
of any kind, and otic day in advance of Leo's '
proposed movement against me. The enemy :
immediately appeared in my front at the Rap
pahannock Station and attempted to pass the
river at the numerous fords above and below,
but without success.
The line of the Upper Rappahannock, which
1 had been ordered to hold, that the enemy
ui'.ght be delayed long enough in his advance
upon Washington to enable the forces from
the Peninsula to land and effectajunction with
me, was very weak, as it could be crossed at
almost any point above the railroad bridge
by good fords.
By constant vigilance and activity, and much
severe fighting for three days, the en* my was
gradually forced around from the raiiroadcros
sing to Waterloo Bridge, west of Warrenton.
Meantime my force had been much dimin
ished by actual loss in battle, and by fatigue
and exposure—so that, although I had been
joined by a detachment under Gen. Reno and
the other division of McDowell's corps, my
force barely numbered forty thousand men.
Our men, much worn down by hard service
and continued fighting for many previous
days, and very short of provisions, rested
on their guns. Our horses had had no forage
for two days. 1 Lad telegraphed and written
earnestly for rations and forage to be sent us,
but on Saturday morning, before the action
was resumed, 1 received a letter from Gen.
I rauklin, writteu the day before at Alexan
dria, stating to me that he had been directed
by Genenal McClellan to inform me that
rations and forage for my command would
be loaded into the cars and available wagons
as soon as I would send a cavalry escort to
Alexandria to bring them up.
All hope of being able to maintain my po
sition, whether victorious or not, vanished
with this letter. My cavalry was utterly
broken down by long and constant service in
the lace of the enemy, and bad as they were,
could not be spared from the front, even if
there had been time to go back thirty miles
to Alexandria and await the loading of the
trains. At the time this letter was written
Alexandria was swarming with troops, and
my whole army interposed between that
place and the enemy. lat once understood
that we must, if possible, fiuieh what we had
to do that day, as night must see us behind
Bull liun if we wished to sa?e n)en and an
imals from starvation.
On Friday night I sent a peremptory order
to Gen. Porter to bring bis command on the
field, and report to mo in person within three
hours after he received the order. A portion
he brought up, but, as I before stated, oue of
his brigades remained the whole day at Cen
treville, and was not in the engagement. The
enemy's heavy reinforcement* having reached
bun on Friday afternoon aad night, lis began
; |° mass on his right for the purpose of cru.sh
; ing our left and occupying the roai to Ocn
tre?ille in our rear. His heaviest assault was
about 5 ..'clock in the afternoon, when, after
overwhelming litz John Porter and driving
ins forces back on the centre and left, mass
after mass of his forces were pushed against
our left. A terrific contest, with great slaugh
ter, was carried on for several hours, our men
behaving with firmness and gallantry under
the immediate command of Gen. McDowell.
W;ien night closed, our left had been for
ced back about half a mile, but still rom iined
firm and unshaken while our right held its
ground.
Gen. Franklin with his corps, arrived after
dark at t-'entreville, six miles in our rear,
whilst Sumner was four miles behind Frank
Isn. I cuuld have brought up these corps in
the morning in time to have renewed the
action, but starvation stared both men and
horses in the face, and broken and exhausted
as they were, they wero in no condition to
bear hunger also. I accordingly retired to
Centrerilie that night in perfect order.
Neither on Sunday nor on Monday did the
enemy make any advance upon us. G i Mon
day I sent to the army corps commanders for
their effective strength, which, all told.inclu
ding Sumner and Franklin, fell short of sixty
thousand men. Instead of bringing up thir
ty tn iusand men. Franklin and Sumner uni
ted fell short of twenty thousand, and these,
adued to the force I had, already wearied out
and much cut up, did not give me the means
to do anything else than stand on the defense.
The rebel attempt against Cincinnati has
mot with signal'failure. The papers of
Saturday bring us accounts of the retreat of
the enemy, rapidly and in confusion.

The session of the Presbyterian church in
Lewistown, Mifflin county, Pa., feeling and
deploring the loss of their fellow member,
Samuel Barr, Esq , died on the Bth September,
instant, in the siUy eighth year of hi s age,
desiring to show their respect for his memory,;
as a worthy man and christian, place upon
their minutes an 1 publish the following rela
tive to his life and character.
Ho was a native of Mifflin county above
mentioned, had the advantage of early chris
tian education, became a teacher of youth in
early manhood, and a member of the Presby
terian church about the same time. lie
taught in the west end of Kishaouquiihis Val
ley when the late Doctor Woods ministered t.
tiie congregation in Waynesburg, and fre
quently walked with and without members o'
his young family some seven miles to heat
the preached word, having to cross Jack'i
mountain twice daily in thus attending.
His busiuess as teacher of youth caused hin J
to remove to several places in the valley men
tioned, and thence into Decatur townshipl
same county, where he taught, was commist
sioned a justice of the peace, and electa 1 r
county ootnmissouer. No matter what hi
other occupations were, he kept the sor. ice o
his Saviour steadily in view. Being iu ■
neighborhood almost destitute of preaching
and too far away from the church of LittP
Valley, of which he was a member and ha,
become an elder, he interested himself, an!
was mainly instrumental in inducing hi,
neighbors—though few of them at the tim
were members of the church—to join him i"
erecting a house for worship at Bell tow i
where they hare sii.ee had worship statedl; 8
lie afterwards moved to Lewistown, was r®
ceived as a member and elder in the churc f
and so conducted himself as to command tl]
respect of all who made his acquaintance
About two years ago he was elected Registe.
Recorder, and Clerk of the Orphans' Court *
the county for three years, which offices I s
held at his death. *
No man in the church or out of it liv<-
more correctly as a man and christian in o.
the relations of life, and few in the church]
auy came nigher to the injunction "Do ju,_ !
tice, love, mercy, and walk humbly with tlq i
God." He raised a numerous family of sou j
and daughters, and lived long enough to s * j
and know that tliey were all members of t$ i
church—his son, the Rev. John C. liarr, ist 1
minister in Bureau county, Illinois. Frog
the time his youngest son, now in the arm.. '
joined the church, he rejoiced that he hu J
lived to see the day, and that his eyos in this
mercy had thus seen more of the salvation of
sinners. 110 lived in constant submission to
the will of Ilim who is the resurrection and
the life, and died welcoming death as a kind
messenger, in the confidence of a joyful res>
urrection at the last day.

gallantry at Chepultepoo he was breveted
captain, September 13, 1547. V -
After the close of the war he was, for
six months. Assistant Professor of Mathe
j maties at West Point, and for 18 months
afterwards Secretary to tho Artillery Board,
during wliich he was engaged in testing
heavy ordnance and compiling tactics for
heavy artillery. Various employments
succeeded, in all which he brought to bear
judgment, good scientific attainments aud
industry. He was for a lime on theCoist
Survey, and then on topographical duty in
the West; for a year engaged in building a,
military road from Big Sioux river to St.
Paul, Minnesota. From 1854 to 1857 he
was stationed at Frankfort Arsenal, near
Philadelphia. He was afterwards Chief
Ordnance Officer to General Johnston in tho
Utah Expedition, and remained there till
1859, when lie was detached and sent to the
Mount Yemen Arsenal, Alabama. He
was afterwards stationed at Leavenworth,
Kansas, where he was when the rebellion
broke out.
He was one of tho officers selected by
General Burnside himself to accompany
him in his expedition, and approved by his
unvarying gallantry and conduct ihe choice
of his superior General. He was appointed
Brigadier General of Volunteers Novem
ber 12th, of last year, distingu : shed him
self at Roanoke and Newborn, and was con
sidered one of the bravest and most prom
ising officers in the service. When Bum
side's army was brought up from North
Carolina, Reno was put in command of a
division, and in the battles before Wash
ington so distinguished himself that his
name is among the foremost of those hon
orably mentioned in reports. He sought
the advance again in the march on the re
bels in Maryland, and, alas! we now have
to mourn his loss.
A younger man than Kearney, he bade
fair to become as splendid a soldier as that
lamented General; and in his death the
army and the country lost one whom wo
could not well spare.
General Reno's father and mother and
two sisters reside in lowa City. One bro
ther lives in Chicago, another in Maren
go 111., while a third brother, Frank, was
upon his Staff.
UEN. MANSFIELD.
lire death of General Mansfield, which
the telegraph records as one of the sad re
sults of the battle of Porterstown, will prove
a national loss, and excite a national feeling
of regret. Joseph K. Fenno Mansfield was
a native of Connecticut, and was about fifty
eight years ot age. fie was appointed to
West Point Academy from that State, in
October, 1817, and passed through the re
gular course of studies in that institution.
He entered the service of the Govern
ment on the Ist of July, 1822, as a second
lieutenant of engineers, and afterwards
rose to a higher position, as his merits be
came appreciated. In March, 1832, he
was made first lieutenant, and in July,
1832, became captain. During the Mexi
can war (in 1846-7) he rose to the position
of chief engineer of the army under Gen
eral Taylor. lie was brevetted major for
gallant and distinguished services in the
j defence of Fort Brown, 3lay 9, 1846. In
| the storming of Monterey he.received no
less than seven wounds, several of which
were most severe; and for gallant and mciv
itorious conduct in those conflicts he was
honored with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
# His gallantry at Buena Vista won him
his colonelcy.
In the war for the Union his services,
however, have been equally conspicuous, and
they are etiil so fresh in the public memory
that it is needless to recount them here.
On the 14th of
missioned a brigadier general in the regu
lar army, in recognition of his distinguish
ed worth, and his subsequent career, down
to the day when he sacrificed his life to his
zeal for the cause, is a noble testimony that
the trust reposed in him by the Govern
ment was not misplaced. The death of
General Mansfield is a serious loss, not to
his immediate command alone, but to the
war bureau, and to the whole country.
And fjo forth. —There is a young man
