For tho purpose of giving a connected and intelligent account of the events, it will.-be necessary to revert back to tho lime of the occupation of Ha gerstown. THE rii'viT ALAHiI, Last Monday throe weeks -infoJJlsotrcP was, received <;f the defeat TSrMilroy-at t£inci»vsler, and.the advance into Maryland of the rebel hordes. The arrival on Tnca-; day morning of tho fiaiti of Government wagons, and tho soldiers who‘accompanied ■ them increased the excitement, but very little apprehension was felt.for this portion of tho Valley, most of the community bo •lieving that it was a more raid, such as had boon made by Stuart lust fall. Measures of precaution, however, were taken by ohr merchants and. tradesmen, who Imniedi diately commenced packing their goods, and o number of them .sent (hern to the Eastern-cities, After the rebels had vis ited Chambei'iburg, and again evacuated that town confidence was restored, ami- y all the merchants with but one or two exceptions, brought hack their goods.— -This quiet was not destined to be of lung duration. The poods were not yet on the shelves* when information ivas received that .tho entire rebel army was advancing/Clown borsbnrg was re-occupied, and the advance was threatening Shipponsburg. To those 1 not willingly blind, it, was evident that it was tur longer a mere raid, but mi the con trary, tho threats so often. made by tho Southern papers were to assume reality, and tho States of Maryland and I’ennsy Iva? niawere indeed to he made- the I. it I lodlelds. The Slh and 71st. regiments oi' New York Volunteers, who bud been stationed at Ship pehsbnrg rctreated lo this place, and woro immediately taken by Gen..

The Bovs. Mr. Oleic, .pastor ol the Kpiseo ptd church, ami Mr. Phillips pastor ol iho German Belbnued Church, had -shouldered muskets and went in the ranks. A degree of earliest nes’s-was exhibited, worthy id all praise and a determination which could not be. mistaken. • -'lhecon'»patiie»;:woro placed in position, pickets ihnHvn’ out a mile-in ndviince, and il was fully expei-ied that a fight would take place i itlmr dm ing the day or ensuing night.

A DAT OP QUIET. The residents of ourtown retired to. hod on Thursday night under the full conviction that the rebels would occupy the 1 town be fore rooming*' But day dawned ahd the old down was more than usually quiet. Citizens mot each other with a smile and talked about the “ big scare.V Scouts arrived and as serted positively that there was not a rebel nearer than Leeshnrg, three miles oast of Shlpponsburg. There was a laugh al] n round, and the militia discussed the propri ety of again going on duty. Friday passed one o( (he most cheerful days. On Saturday ‘morning at an early hour the rebel force was again said to bo within a few miles of the town, but it was very diflicuit to find any one willing to believe (be report. There had been 100 many “.scores,” and Urn peo ple wore absolutely exhausted with rumors and reports, . A degreeof, unconcern had settled down oh them and they were un willing to listen 1 and give credence to the “ cry of wolf,” when it was reality., Tho morning hours passed discussing tho trnth of tho rumors and tho people could scarcely believe their senseft when it was definitely ..settled that the rebels were within a quarter of a mile of town.- Ciipt. Boyd’s cavalry fell hack through tho town and-announced* thefact. Tho feeling of-alarm which/had seized on the entire community the night previous was no where to be'found. There was calmness amounting almost fo.indllier-. once/, and a-resigned courage that was more than virtue prevailing, everywhere. IMt was necessary I'init the town should be sue-' iTflced, those most int.crc'Med /were willing to make (ho‘.offering; II it 'was, essential' that this beautiful valley should' ho offered, up tc) destruction,-so ns to save the Army oftheP.btbnmc, or.pivc its commander lime to mass ins forces, if would have been of. fored. Thus was a nianly courage exhibit ed hy citizens which will ercr-refluct credit upon them.

Gen. Jenkins said ho had | no-disposition to do .so,- and would much rallier.pre.fer to enter the town as' quietly as possible. Accordingly about eleven o'clock | oS) Saturday morning, the rebel advance entered the town from the west- enil of •■Ma.in'street. Their horses were at a walk i_jij.il.'-rrt good. They were about tour hundred in. number, mounted infantry, and every man carried bis gun i|i a position to use it on the instant, with his band on tlio hammer. They passed down Main street to tlm June* lure ol' the ‘ Tiindio Spring ami Dillsburp roads', where a portion ol them tiled to the left and proceeded to the Garrison. The remainder dismounted for a lew'minutes, when.they again look their saddles, return ed to the town, and slopped iu the public square rkocisitio.nm, Gen. .Tonkins asked for the Horongh au thorities, and Chid iJnrgesa Andrew Zieg ler, Km[., accompanied by several o| the members of i-be Tow n (Jon noil were conduc ted to him, w 'it*it he <l,''liictini<‘d fiitomr hun dred rations, to lie furnished within one hour and deposited in ilui market house.—’ The llurges.s and a number of citizens went through the town ItdoJ ming the people ol the demand and requesting e:|ch family to furnish a pfoportiun.'

Wifh the occu pation of the State of Mary laud they expect ed to recruit their lemma at least thirty thou sand which would make their army invinci ble, and the march to the city of Brotherly Love, would be a holiday amusement..— They expressed the greatest contempt for the Militia, asserting that they would pass, through mi i»ai-.,;n of them, and nothin# would alibrd thetji r fim*r opportunity of replunisliinK ttieir wurdiobus than to meel fta army of them.

T/io -wealth of tho idnti.ro North should 1)0 carefully assessed, and one half of the whole amount placed in the U.

The welfare of our threatened country must now occupy our thoughts and command our efforts. For one. wo foci like giving up, cheerfully, one-halt of all Wo are worth in the world, if by so doing wo can save our nation and put down the rebels in arms. It is time to stop boasting about.tho “loyalty” of this or that mart. We must now have something more than empty professions—wo must have men and money. Every man who is physically alio should rush to arms, and those who cannot hoar arms must give of their means.
