Another Invasion.
WeJjave our fears of another invasion
of and Pennsylvania, notwith
standing -the reports that different corps
iml divisions of Lee's army are being sent
South jto reinforce Beauregard at Charles
ton, and Bragg and Johnson in front of
Bosoorans and Burnside. The rebel army
now moves in the! centre of a circle, while
the Union army moves around the outside,
consequently the former can throw troops
from one point to another much more, rap
idly than the latter, and although corps
and, divisions may have been sent South
from Lee’s army, they could easily be re
called in time to make a raid North just
previous to the election in this State; and
if another invasion is attempeed, it will be
at that time.
Knowing the result of two attempts to
invade the' North, it would, without due
, consideration, appear like consumate folly,
and a courting of destruction, for the
Rebel leaders to undertaken third trip ol
the kind. Whether the third invasion
ever be even attempted, it is now strongly
talked of and urged by the Richmond pa
pers, and, if we are not much mistaken,
this State will be thrown into an excite-
ment, greater than that of June last, ere
the October election, tinless something be
idone, and that speedily, to divert the .rebels
in another direction. An editorial in a re
cent issue of the Richmond Inquirer detail*
the programme, and lets us into the secret
We know there are persons, even in
this community, who will hoot at this.—
There were those whose facilities for be
ing posted on the general news were a?
good as ours, who hooted at us when we
gave credence to the report that Lee’s ar
my was on its way to Pennsylvania, in
•Tune last; and when we had the most
positive evidence that Stewart’s cavalry
were in Chambersburg, they asserted with
great gusto that there was not an armed
rebel in the State, and characterized the
excitement of those in authority as a
“gnat scare,” gotten up by Gov. Curtin
for political effect. We always knew that
politics , blipuen, hut this proved it to
be more blinding than me had imagined.
The sequel opened their eyes. They can
not deny that there was a terrific battle
fought at Gettysburg, on the 2d and 3d
of July, and that Gettysburg is in Penn
sylvania. - We will allow our readers to
imagine for themselves what would be
the situation of Baltimore, Washington,
Philajelphia, Harrisburg, and. with the
asnstance of the rioters, even New York
city, had Lee been succesful at Gettysburg.
Undoubtedly the New York riot would
have beat more extensive, and the riot.*
attempted in olbgr places resulted more
disastmosiy. The “scare” did not come
soon enough, and the destruction of one
of the finest valleys in Pennsylvania, just
at harvest time, was the consequence.
Thor* who give credence to the re
ported invasion, present the fact that the
power of the rebellion is fast waning,
and the only hope the Rebels have is cen-
ln Lee’s army. When Charleston
falls, as it undoubtedly will, arid Rosecram
and JBnrnside have driven the Rebels army
out of East Tennessee, the situation ot
Lee wilt become ethical, because of his
supplies being ent off to a great extent,
and his connection w|th the Southwest
severed. Reauregard and Bragg will
(hen be relieved of writ«hing the point;*
now held by them, and will be thrown to
Lee, thus giving him a large army to
subsist and a powerful army with which
to make a for Ward movement. Tlus
«any cannot be. subsisted in the small
portion of the Confederacy which will be
left to' it, and it witty of necessity, be com
peUed to make an effort to roach the fer
and well filled bamsand store
honses of Uarytand and Pennsylvania.
The indoeements and necessities are two
fo Id greater at this time than ever they
have been heretofore, and, as we have be
fore stated, the attempt to reach the tempt
ing bolt will be made, unless something
Jx duhe tp counteract it. Lee knows that
Meade’s army is being filled up by the
conscription, and he anil make the move
before the new men can be made effective,
if be amoves at all.;’ We are not alarm
but
info.
wiutt v plausible, and all we & that
people rightly view the matter itnd be
prepared to act prampitly and in time.—
We do not want to be found napping
when the Rebel fox calls again to feast
upon what he left in the valley in June
last, nor do we want to find persons
tbroWing impediAients in the way of those
who would save the State from the rav
ages of an invading army.
We have no doubt that, should Gov.
Curtin take time by the forelock, and at
once commence preparations to success
fully prevent a repel Lion of the scenes en
acted in the Cumberland Valley, in June
last, the movement would be characterized
as political unnecessary, by those who
care more for party than for country.—
Such were the charges last fall, anil again
in June last, and such would be the
chargesofipolitieians again, even though the
devastation of the State should be the re
sult. We hope we may be mistaken in
the foreshadowed intentions of the Rebels,
but at the same time we hope Gov. Cur
tin will not be overawed by any clamor
which may be raised by bis political oppo
nents to deter him from doing his duty m
the way of protecting the State from in
vasion.
Fiion South Amkrica. —From Satur
day’s dailies we learn that a number of
prominent Mexicans, as well ns Repre
sentatives of the South American Repub
lics, have invited President Juarez to
form a continental alliance fur the pur
pose of resisting foreign encroachments,
and it is understood that the United
States will be invited to send delegates to
co-operate. Should u coalition of this
kind be formed, Napoleon would find him
self in a tight place. The United State
could have nothing to loose hy entering
into such an arragement, and it might be
the means of preventing the covetous
Emperor of the French from attempting
further liberties on this continent.

Sept. 7, 1863. W. G. BRQWNLOW. '
PROM CHARLESTON
The Whole of Morris Island Occupied.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, under date of the 7th inst., gives
the following account of the capturo of
Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg, and
the consequent occupation of the whole of
MorriaeLdand .-
Baring the n-hole ot .Saturday night onr mor
tars in tiie tilth parallel continued to shower their
shells into our fort, against which the fire of two
heavy Parrott rifles was also directed. The range
in the night was easily obtained by the aid of a
calcium light, which, located iii the second paral
lel, threw upon the lieleagucred work an illumina
tion ot wonderful brilliancy. ’The bombardment
during the night presented a scene unequalled in
interest and grandeur since the siege began. All
night our shells were weaving through iheainheir
skeins of fire, following each other in graceful
curves like a guggler’s marvellous spheres, and
exploding in rapid succession within the fort.—
They were sufficient to deter the garrison from
any attempts to repair the damage occasioned
during the Jay. while all relief was cut off by the
presence of a strong picket force, which Major
Sandford, of tile Seventh Connecticut, had taken
in bouts around through Vincent's creek, to the
left of VVagner and between that work and Battery
Gregg.
At daylight on Sunday the fire of all our bat
teries was resumed. As on the previous dav.
there was no response trom Wagner or Gregg:
hut the works on James and Sullivan's islands
were, if anything, more actively engaged in their
ctr leavers' to annoy us. Our sappers during this
time were making tine headway. So long as the
attilleiy tire of Wagner continued to pinr upon
them their work was necessarily perilous and slow ;
but wilh this tire subdued they advanced on the
first day of the bombardment aliout forty yards,
and ye-terday dis|>etiscd altogether with the use
qf the sap roller.
Bui, though Wagner was quiet, those in the
trendies were not wholly free from danger. They
were so close to the fort that our shells, occasion
ally annoyed them. At the liead of the sap a'
small American fiag was planted, indicating to
the New Ironsides and the monitors the jioint of
our advance, behind which they were not to fire ;
but, the missiles of these vessels coming now and
then in too dose proximity, the ensign was moved
ahead about fif.y ya-ds, and the supjiers returned
to gradually dig their way up to it. At night
they had dug through the counter scarp, on the
sea from, getting past the guns, and establishing
a covered way to a point from which an assault ing
column could l ave leaped, almost at a single
bound, to the parapet, or debouched ujxm the
beach past the fort, and attacked it in the rear,
without serious exposure.
Whiles our men were working in the trenches
yesterday other dangers than those above mcn
doned threatened them. Though great care was
Liken to avoid or remove the to pedoes which the
enemy had planted !adore the fort, one or two of
these machines exploded. One soldier of the
Engineer regiment was blown thirty feet into the
air, and two of the Fif y-fourth Massachusetts
rigiment were serious!' if 'nut fatally injured, hv
accidently coming in contact with these inhuman
inventions M. anwliile the twits ami shells
rained from all our batteries. Faster than they
could Iw counted our missiles went tearing against
ihe parapet and bomb-proof, sending up such clouds
ol sind and earth as nearly to eclipse our view of
the work. All its sharp points we knocked awav.
Eveiy outline had been disturbed. There was
no regularity of feature about it. The bomb-proof
had been nearly umoofed, and great masses of
sand slid down like avalanches, falling at the en
trance ami shutting out from the terified oceu
pan s all light and vcmilatiun. The traverses
which connected this structure with the pa rajs'!
of the seaward face were torn away, and the arches
beneath them filled up with the debris. Even
one who looked upon the stronghold yesterday,
while our fire was so furiously battering it to
ruins, felt that we would hold it without difficult
otv the morrow.
The correspondent here gives Gen. Gilmore's
order for an assault on Fort Wagner on Saturday
evening, detailing the plan of attack, which we
deem it needless to publish, inasmuch as informa
tion received shortly afterwards rendered it un
necessary The cpiTespondent. speaking of ilie
troops taking their positions to obey -orders, says:
They had barely arrived when a deserter' from
Ihe K. bel lines came in, bringing ihe news that
the island was licing evacuated. We had de
pended ii|«n our picket boats in Vineets. Creek,
under Major Samilord, to keep us advised of any
movement of this kind on the part of the enemv ;
but it ap|iea r s that the state of the tide would not
allow them to get through until some time after
the withdrawal of the Rebel garrison had com
menced .
As soon as the story of the deserter could be
told Gel eral Stevenson sent forward a small scout
ing party to ascertain its truth. They speedily
returned and corroborated the news, and our
forces immediately leaped into the fort, Captains
Walker and Pratt, in ehargeof the sappers, plant
ing their flag iqion the parapet. A slow match
connecting with the magazine was discoverd and
extinguished..
Captain Bi avion, of the Third Rhode Island
Artillery, was the first man there. A few men of
the Forty-fou th Massachusetts were close Itchiiid
him, and then came two comfianies of the Third
New Hampshire Regiment, under Captain Rand
let'.
Th y arrived in season to capture lietween forty
and fifty stragglers, mostly from South Carolina
regiments, while Major Sanford, who, os soon as
the tide served, had got his picket boats through
the marsh, succeeded in overhauling a couple of
boats containing a Lieutenant and
men of the Reltcl iron-clad steamer Chicorsj who
■ had lieen assisting the garrison in their escape.
The scene which presents itself to the eye of
a.visitor at Fort Wagner this morning is one of
utter wreck and ruin. The broken inrrapets, the
dismounted guns, the sand piled up before the
entrance of the b imb-proof, the holts and frag
ments of exploded shells with which the tcrreplein
is jiaved, and, more than all, the heaps of Rebels
slain, some tying in the sun and others half buried
in the loose sand, show what a tearful ordeal the gar
rison passed through. The stench arising from the
d caving dead is sickening and overpowering.—
.Many Vere buried at night, just below the
terreplein, to be unearthed and torn to pieces by
the missiles which on the following day continued
to plough through the work. Here an arm sticks
stiffly out of the ground, and there a shoeless foot
is visible, while In another corner are threobodies,
one clad in a Major’s uniform, laid carefully
aside for burial, hut left in the hurn- of departure
for us to put away.
Existence must have been terrible while the |
■bombardment was going on. Even now the odor
of the apartment is almost intolerable. The gar-I
tisoh, which consisted of fourteen hundred men, !
was here huddled like sheep in a fold, without
sunshine to illumine or air to breathe. The ceil
ing, formed of huge logs, is sp low as scarcely to
afford standing room. Dead bodies are scattered
here and there con.rihnling the effluvia to the hor
rid stench arising from the accumulation ofhmnan
filth and nastiness. I conld only remain for a
moment in the place. Officers and soldiers who
enter it flee hum’dly away as from a plague dr
pestilence. ■ The only fit -niture of the room was a 1
table made of rough hoards. Ota or two r nigh j
coffins were there, whether empty or not I did I
•not endeavor rb ascertain A row of shelves on
eitheisidb of the main entr tneocontained a num
ber of, shot and shell of various calibres. . The
floor was strewn with papers, old rags, pieces of
greasy bacon and o.her filth which, m ordiharv
campg, finds its way to the skins. Until disin
fectants are freely used and the work thoroughly :
policed, It will he impossible for our men to re- i
main there. Already General Tarty has ordered
the men out of the fort, and forty barrels’of chlo- 1
ride of htne are on their way np the beach to be HTTO \* 1t O
employed in making the atmosphere of the place U It 1 I-l n kj
in some ■teg>'re hulesome.
Beyond Fort Wagner the ground seems to
have been used as a place of burial for many who
fell in defense of the place There are a num
ber of graves just in the rear of the banquets.—
Here al“o are seyeral dead homes and mules,
filled witn noxious gases, and attracting to tiie
spot myriads on myriads of flies. A little further
on are several holes dug in the sand lor shelter to
iir troops, those stationed without the fort living

The Singer Manufacturing Company.
Messrs. I. M. Singer & Co., of New York, have
been long ami well known tut enterprising ami suc
cessful manufacturers of Sewing Machines. The
public may or may not bo surprised to leant that
the members of that firm Dissolved their Co-part
nership, by mutual consent, on the first instant.
The Com|«ny which now manufacture the world
renowned Singer Sewing Machines, arc a Joint
Stock Company, with a capital large enough to
conduct a mammoth business.
It has long been felt by the ni»mlters of the late
firm that the business of their huge establishment
(whose Bianch Houses are all over Christendom,)
could he better managed as a Joint Stock Com
pany, rhanjn any other way, and that such would
prove most conducive to tile welfare of all con
cerned. For this reason the new Company was
orginized. This Company is now and will here
after be known as The Singer Manufacturing
Company.
We have reason to suppose that the members of
j the late firm of Messrs. I. M. Singer & Co., are
deeply interested in their behalf.
Tie public need not hesitate to bestow on The
i Singer Manufacturing Company, their confidence,
j esteem and patronage.
1 No labor or expense has been spared by the new
| Company in the making of machines of the best
! quality and most exquisite finish. Nor have they
j spared Invective skill in the application of all those
interesting and useful devices, ot the most approved
I kind, for hemming, guaging, binding, gathering,
| tucking, felling, cording, &c., to. A short time
I ago a great reduction was made in the prices of
(the Singer Machines, since which time, and es-
I pccially during the organization of the New Com-
I puny, great attention has been directed to the in
{ traduction of new and useful improvements, which
I have to do not only with the structure of the
I machines, but also their manufacture. The sales
I of the Singer Machines are daily increasing to an
■ almost incredible extent.
This is particularly true of the Family Sewing
Machines which are fast taking the place of
all others.
lo recommend their manufacturing machines
would be to ask the attention of the public to
something which they know as well as ourselves.
But this is not true of their Family Machines,
which are adapted to a greater range of sewing
(or family use than any other machines which
have come under uur notice. Thev have wonder
ful capacity for a great range of work, and their
durability is only equalled by their correct action
at ail rates of speed. The Family Sewing Ma
chines which the Singer Manufacturing Co. now
offer to the public, are so simple in structure, so
certain in action, so exquisite in appearance, so
exceedingly well adapted lo all the purposes for
which they are intended, as tef make one almost
feel that their cunningly adjusted muscles of iron
and steel are not only imbued with life but intel
ligence.
Any one even a child of six years old. can
learn to use these machines, for the simple reason
that they know rneir wo k «ml are willing to doir.
will sew on all kinds of doth and with all
kinds of thread, whether in the hands of a mere
child or those of the most skilful mechanic.
Tiie Singer Manufacturing Company have for
their President, Inslee A. Hopper, Esq , a gentle
man connected with the tale firm. Mr. Hopper
is greatly esteemed in commercial circles. He is
an una>saming gentleman (as all gentleman are.)
of ability, whose suavity of manners and gobil
heartedness have won for him many admirers, and
not a few friends.
11l conclusion, we repeat that The Singer Man
ufacturing Company are worthy of all confidence,
esteem and patronage. They will be sure to re
ceive what they shall merit, under the manage
ment lit their able President, and we are among
those who wish them all that fortune and happi
ness can bestow.
Ovation to Union Troops in Knox
ville.
_ A dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette, dated
Knoxville, Tenn., September fa’th, savs:—The
great campaign of the war is over. We are in
possession of Kast Tennessee, after a great blood
leas victory. The campaign was skillfully planned
and energetically executed. Such were the rapid
ity of our movements that the rebels were taken
unawares, and tied before ns without destroying
any property. At Loudon they attempted to hold
the bridge, but the impetuosity of the 2d Tennessee
regiment broke them to ftagments. Three steam
boats, three locomotives, and a targe number of
cars were captured there, 'film whole march hi
our army was a perfect ovation, and our entry into
Knoxville is an event long to he remembered.
Thousands of people, of every age, sex, color and
condition, lined the way with shouts and tears, iu
tdimingled with martial music, and joy reigned
supreme.
General Burnside addressed the soldiers and
people, and assured them of protection, and thai
while justice should be dealt, revenge was no part
of the policy of the Government.' General Carter
also s[K)ke in touching terms of their sufferings,
and announced its tetmination. Colonel Saunders
was called out amid shouts of welcome. Co.oucl
Gilbert has been apjiuinied Militaiy Governor and
General Carter Provost Marshal General of East
Tennessee.
A second dispatch says that our right wing is
within easy reach of Rosecrans’ left. The rebels
regarded our expedition as a raid until the last
moment. The march of two hundred and fifty
miles was a hard one. but made in good 1 order.—
The trains were all np in'good space.
Union Sentiment Increasing.— The latest re
ceived Raleigh (S. C.) Standard is full of the
proceedings of the peace meetings from different
counties, which fearlessly indorse the course of
the Standird. A private letter received from a
staunch Unionist in Raleigh, says that the feel
mg in North Carolina was against tyranny and
Richmond oligarchy. Intense peace meetings afe
frequent in the Eastern and Southern section of
the State. and Union men who had heretofore
been silent, are becoming hold and presistent in
tkeir demand for peace. What the State desires
1 eace first and negotiation afterwards.- It is
expected that Gov. Vance’s next message to the
State Legislature will widen the breach between
the State and the Richmond govemmemt. Gov
Vance s friends say he will recall all the North
l.aroltna firoo|« serving in the rebel army. The
position assumed by the Raleigh Stan,lard in favor
ot peace, meets with general commendation.
The New York Times special says the rebels
aie reported to have six vessels of war at Rich
mond. feme are known to be clad with railroad
iron, and modeled like the Merrimac. Gen. Gil
more is promoted to « Major of Engineers in the
regular army.
Prices at Richmond.—A lady who arrived on
Saturday from Richmond, says tliaV bacon has ad
vanced to $2,60 per pound and sugar to s 2.—
Both are now considered luxuries and totally l>e
jond the reach of the poorer classes. She paid
$4,000 in Confederate notes for $325 in gold.

Base Ball— ThbVi«t or rax Anuxn
CLtm.—The base town hav<
witfiin tbe past weiek pr twatbma to quite a Am
ter of excitement ifi refiseiocxto,tbe purposed vis
of the noted Athletic Chffi of Philabelphia, to At
oona, to play a match with our Mountain Clab.-
On last Friday morning the visitors arrived, an
after refreshing themselves outwardly and inward)
at that excellent hostelrie, Ihe Logon Rome, the;
were escorted by their hosts of the Mountain Clul
to the locality selected for the contest batweet
•hem, the same beihg the best ground our dub i
able to procure in the, town, that best being ver
poor Indeed. In fact, the grounds of the Monn
lain club, entirely nnsuiled as they are for bal
play, in almost every respect, seriously retards Ihi
progress of the members iu obtaining a thorongl
practical knowledge of the game, and the soone
they change their quarters the better for the fulun
success of the club, so say the best judges anion)
the visiting party.
Quite a number- of spectators were collector
around the ground on tbe day in question, amonf
them a delegation of the fair*oncs of Altoona, con
dderable interest being manifested by all in regan
10 th* result.
Shortly after ten o’clock A. M the game wo*
commenced, the Athletics being the first to Uis
pluv their skill at the bat. Before their thret
players were put out, and their innings closed, thet
scored three runs, no difficulty being experiences
jn securing their runs, after first making iheii
bases, inasmuch as the moment a hall passed tin
catcher it went too far down the hill in the rear tr
he returned in time to put the player out in run
ning his base. This was of course but one of lh<
drawbacks arising from the peculiar character u
:be field, but it was one of the roost serious in iti
effects on the play of both parties, and especially
on that of |he Mountain nine. When the Ath
letics took the field the Mountain Club fully ex
pected to (Law a blank for their share of the in
nings play, but by the loose play’of their opponents,
who were exceedingly bothered in their fielding
operations by the unevenness of the field, the
Mountain club scored three runs also, thus be in)
on a par, in rim-getting with their more experl
"need adversaries. This was quite encouraging
bet in the next innings a change came o’er tl<-
spirit r«f (heir dreams, ” in consequence of the six
ccssfnl efforts of the Athletics in getting runs, r.
less than fourteen rims being placed upon theii
'corebook in this innings to two on the part of thl
Mountain nine. In the next innings matters be
came worse if anything, thfa totals, at the close o
■he 8d innings, shqwing a lead on the part of ibt
visitors of 29 to 5, thus, almost at (he very open
’-ng of the contest, depriving the Altoona players
of any hope for the’successful issue, for their part-. .
They did not givi np the ghost, however, but
courageously went on. hoping for the best but fully
prepared for the worst. In the 4ib innings each
party scored one each, thus showing a decided im
provement on their play on the part of the Moun
taineers. It was, however, but a flash in the pan,
f°r in the two following innings the Athletics
added an aggregate of 38 runs to their score, the
otal figures at the close of the 6th inning being
58 to 13. At this period of the game tbe Moun -
tain Club made a jndicios change in the position ot
their fielders, bringing in their best pitcher to pitch
-and placing tbe right men on the bases, tbe result
being that the Athletics only scored five runs in
i.Ueir last three innings to nine on the part of the
Itdqatain Glob. The final result was the success
of the Philadelphians by. a score of ”3 to 22, tbe
Altoona players haring the consolation of know
ing that they had obtained the highest score
against the Athletics that any club ban obtained
this season, this being, in a measure, a triumph of
itself. C
Of course the peculiar character of tbe ground
prevented us from witnessing that fine display of
fielding fin-which the Athletics are noted, and-nur
players, too, failed to display their abilities to ad
vantage from tbe same cause. But, nevertheless,
the contest was a very interesting one throughout,
and one exceedingly creditable to both clubs from
the very gentlemanly conduct that characterised
, their anions during the whole contest
Of the play of the respective contestants we have,
-° tpeak in high terms of that of nearly every one
of the Athletic nine and on tbe part of the Altoona
jlajerp, the play of E. P- & C. Miller and of Messrs.
Kitfhell, Darlington and Pettitt in their respective
positions, merits praiseworthy notice, their fielding,
e *pe<fially in the last three innings, eliciting com
plimentary remarks from the Philadelphians.—
Mr. Htuqa, tbe worthy President of tbe Mercan
file Clnb of Philadelphia, acted with thorough im
pertiality as Umpire, and -the contest proved to lx
quite an agreeable one alike to the contestant
