Capitalists who have invested in 'Government securities should favor a. speedy termination of the wilt. . - Their 'interest, says the Age, clearly lies in that direction ; and they are certain ly no exception •to the 'rale that gov -erns human conduct. The sooner the accumulation of debt is stopped, the be'tter for them ; for if the war be continued until the national debt reach such gigantic proportions as to weigh us all down, they, witltall the rest, must be engulpbed in a corium= ruin. So fat, perhaps, they have •made 'a good thing; they have, possi bly, made an investment which may prove secure and remunerative—con siderations of the highest import with capital. It should be constantly re membered that the war is now prose cuted exclusively upon credit ; that every hour of its continuance adds to the already frightful mass of debt; and, should it be protracted until the debt reaches such colossal dimensions - -a &int , -by no means improbable— as to 'be beyond'our tmeans of Iliquida lion:Wl:tat 'Would tvelwentiewnr any other spenies of Government securi ties be worth then ? Rags would be just as valuable. THE TWO GREAT EVILS, 'We -have two great evils in the land--:stervery-according to the Repub licans, and war according to the Dem: °orate. The Republicans, 'having the power, use the latter evil 'in the wain attempt to "wipe out" the 'for mer. The Democrats want the 'evil .of war, viliith'ivecan-as yet manage,-a bated and the other eVilleft toitsfate. Which, now is the course 'of wisdom ? War has and does afflict us ;—Slavery never troubled us, at least not to any such extent as to make it an evil to us of the north, and certainly not to the people of the month, because, if it were they - wetild have ,got rid of it long ago. It Will not do to say in re ply to this that the people of the south are opposed to it, and have suffered from it, but .that a few leaders, by .power, intelligence and ingenuity Maintained It, for the reason that a sufficient answer to that is the fact 'that we now find them in arms to a Man in its detence,—at least the Re : 'publicans toll us that they are fight ing for slavery, and we take theta at 'their word. Abe Lincoln made a con dition precedent that if Amy will "Itbandon" their evil the will listen to propositions of peace ; they simply say that they are willing and ready to come to an arrangement which will abate -our evil. The question then comes is slaverrsogreat an evil that all the iiitctifices 'of tilood ond money expended in a gigantic war, of brother against brother, like ours, are of trifling moment. If the people - of Lebanon county—the farmers,•me ebonies and laboring men, think so they will vote for Lincoln next No -vember—and of course shoulder the Musket and go and fight,—if they think war is a greater evil to them than slavery; if their own lives and the lives of their children are worth more than the freedom of negroes, they will vote against Lincoln, who made -this the naked question when he 161 d the rebel commissionersin Canada a week ago, that no proposi tions of peace would be listened to unless they embraced "the ,abandon ment of 'slavery." 'Nts,lt Is asserted that when the Itepublican'donvention at llaltirnore, threw Hamlin off, it thereby upset half of the "Government." It would be well if only half were upset. We are afraid the whole team le smashed up. (KT The President has determined that there shall be no peace unless the rebel; "abandoned slavery" The peoplenover authorized him to exact such a condition, nor did Congress. Iris determination is the not of a des. ; pot. Are the farmers of !Lebanon county prepared to support 'Lincoln iu his determination that no "peace shall he rode until slavery 'is :abol ished S If so, they will vote tor:him this fall. If, however, they ;think that their interests, 'the interests of their children, and the interests of humanity, are superior to the 'inter ests of a parcel of negroes, when it even remains a question whether they be benefited or bet by emanci- - patina, they will *pin st • him, and that with a *ill. • THE TWO GREAT DOCUMENTS, The Democracy believe that the greatest document in the country is the Federal Constitution ; the Repub licans believe that -the emancipation proclamation of Mr. Lincoln is the greatest. The former was made for the benefit and welfare of the white races of the country ; the latter for the negro. Mr. Lincoln and his par ty want the latter substituted for the former, and to accomplish his object has sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives, expended untold. millk.zis of dollars, and is willing to expend more lives and more treasure for the same purpose. His declaration that he will not make peace unless- the "abandon ment of slavery" is one of the condi tions, is equivalent to this: The great constitution of the revolutionary fath ersis to be abandoned, and his procla mation, which produces perpetual war so that the negro may be made the equalof tins whites in rights and citizenship, to sit •at our board, to marry our daughters, to vote with us, it substituted in its ;place. The ques tion now arises, for the people to de cide, whether they (prefer to live under the old Federal Constitution or under the emancipdtiotqroelamation of Line*. or our part We , 'prefer the former, and, if living,- shall make -our . votetell next fall in its favor. FACTS ABM 'PEACE. The late confereneo 'at Niagara Falls has established two importitut facts : IsT. That the South is willing 'and desirous to treat for peace. 2D. That Lincoln has peremptorily refused to listen to any propositions that do not embrace the unqualified "abandonment of slavery" by the South. The character and position of Messrs. Clay, and Holcombe, leave no room to doubt that when they sought 'a slife'conduet to Washington, it was 'for•a serious purpose, and'under au thority, entitled at least to respect, to propose some sort of terms of Peace. And the remarkable document, ad dressed ' To all whom it may Concern," and signed by . Abraham Lincoln, clearly proves the fixed purpose of the'present Administration to listen to no overtures that do not, at the very outset, indicate a readiness to subn - k to terms of its Own •dictation. This, of course, precludes all hope of peace by negotiation. TheSe being the facts it becomes the impertiiiVe duty of the people to • decide whether they will consent to continue in pow& those. who have a bandoned.the original . and only -law ful and just object of the war, and now defiantly proclaim their deter mination to prolong it _for the de struction of slavery—a purpose for which there otists not the shadow of authority under the Constitution ; or whether they will, by a change of ru lers, decide that the proffers of peace which the South may be disposed to make, shall at least have a bearing. If they be such as we can honorably accept, WELL ; and why fight any longer ? If not, we shall be no worse off than we are to-day.--I?eadiny 'Gazette: The invasion. ' [From the Ago.) ' The Confederates after their recent' expedition into Maryland, and to Washington, retreated from Rock ville.across the Potomac toLeesburg, 'and 'through Snicker's'Gap into the Shenandoah Nrafley. They were fol lowed by 'General Wright's troops. Wright led his own corps, a portion of the Nineteenth Corps, and Crook's cavalry. Snicker's Gap is - a short distance West . of LeeSburg. Co-oper ating with .Wright, Generals Hunter 'and Averell moved south west from Harper's Ferry and Maffinshurg a long the valley. The Confederates withdrew rapidly and Wright follow ed as swiftly. At Snicker's Gap, Crook, who led the Federal advance, raptured a Confederate wagon train. The Confederates turned upon ,t-heir pursuers, drove them off, arid recap tured all but two of the wagons.— Wright followed them through the gap a shert diStance, to* the Shenan.: doah River. The authorities at Wash ington seeing the Federal pursuit so apparently successful, and wishing to send 'Wright - and 'his troops badk to 'Grant's army, sent a courier to 'recall him. Before 'the courier arrived, Wright reached the Shenandoah, and found the enemy drawn up on the western bank. He tried to cross it, but was repulsed.' He then endeav ored to outflan'k the Confederates, when theysuddenly broke up their camp and marchea - south-ward along the valley to Manassas Gap. As Wright was preparing to follow them, the courier readhed him. The orders to return to Walitington were peremptory. His corps - and the 19th Corps were 'at once withdrawn through Snicker's Gap towards Lees burg. General Crook covered the rear. The march was not molested. 'Crook, assoon as Wright's troops had passed through Snicker's 'Gap, was ordered to go Northward along the valley and join Hunter and Arerell, who had halted at Winehetter. At the same time the Confederates be gan a swift march northward. 'Wright was out of the way, and having been heavily reinforced, they anticipated an easy conquest of Hunter. They came up with 'Crook just south of Winchester, and on Saturday week drove him into thetown. An attack was unexpected, and Hunter hastily abs doped Wlntheiter, leaving the greater portion•of his baggage in the enamy's bans. 'On Sunday thorn.: log he was e + ain attacked, north of Winchester. He was almost surround ed. 0110 reeimoet was Cut off from another. There seemed to be ao or ders given except for retreat. The Confederates captured four Cannon and eight hundred prisoners. They broke up Hunter's column, and his troops completely disorganized, rush ed into Martinsburg. Crook tried to protect the rear from the Confeder ate pursuit, but was unsuccessful.— Averell did what he could, but the rout was complete. Ranter had lost the confidence of his men, and could no longer control them. No stand was made at Martineburg. The road northeast to Williamsport was taken by the fugitive army, and a halt was not made until the Potomac wus crossed. Col. Mulligan was killed, Gen. Avercll wounded, as also a num ber of other general officers, in the battle of Sunday. The Confederates captured Martins burg. The road taken by. Hunter's men was covered with all sorts of a bandoned material. The woods were filled with Federal sttragglers. The enemy did not advance in force north of Martinsburg, thokagh -pickets were sent out. Hunter, when 'he reached Williamsport, 'found an order reliev ing him from command. Crook sue- • ceeded him. Wright, as soon as he reached Washington, was sent west ward towards Harper's Ferry. The authorities saw their mistake in re calling him from the Shenandoah Valley, and on Monday a week his troops began Marching from Wash iogton to garrisOn the various passes in to Western Marylund. The Feder al under Wright - is about thirty thousand. Crook has scarcely a regi ment able to fight. On Wednesday Wright!s advance reoccupied Martins burg. The Confederate have with drawn their principal force but have left a picket just south of the town. The counties of Berkley and Jef ferson have been levied on by Gener al -Early for 200,000 bushels of wheat `I'ENNSYLVANIA ADAM INVADED, Chambersburg Burned From the ITitrriebarg Patriot itUpion At an early hour on Saturday morn ing intelligence was received bete that the 'Confederates in heavy force bad entered' Chambersbnrg in three columns, and commenced destroying the public buildings of the town, and that General Couch and staff, as soon as they were apprised of. the rebel ad• vance, hastily changed their base to Carlisle. This news, fully confirm. ing the statement that the Confeder ates had crossed the Potomac in large numbers, spread throughout the city with telegraphic rapidity, causing a general panic among oar people par alleled only by - that of July, 1863, when the rebel legions approached within a few miles of the State Capi tal and threatened its destruction. Governor Curtin, then on a visit to . Bedford springs, was immediately in - - formed by telegraph of the perilous state of affairs, and started in a ape e; al - trni n - fir this n i ty. - _lx% _l.llsa_m FIELD, time the exeifernent and alarm con tinned to increase, all 'the public bells were wrung, and a town 'meeting li was called to take measures for the defense of the city, in ease the Inca— ders should advance this far. - The Meeting then adjourned to await the arrival of the Governor, and the work of recruiting immediately com menced. About.this time a dispatch was received to-the effect than tele graphic communication between Chatribersburg and Shippensburg had been suspended by the cutting of the wires, and that the Confederate pick ets were gradually moving toward the latter town. This looked as if the enemy intended advancing in force down the 'Cumberland 'valley, and in creased the Alarm 'and excitement previously existing 'here. On the A rrival of the'CovernOr at three Welocik another town meeting was convened. His Excellency ap red and deliver ed a brief addre - ' bleb he declar ed it to be his co en that the ob ject of the rebel invasion was the cap ture and destruction of the capital of Pennsylvania, and , closed with an earnest - appeal to the people to rally in its defense. During the 'progress of the meeting a dispatch was receiv• ed -and read, - announcing *that the Chambersbnrg Bank building, the town ball, the court house, and the private mansion of C,ol. A. K. Mc- Clure had 'been fired by the rebels, who were still pursuing their work of devastation and ruin. During the evening intelligence was received that a greater portion of the town of Chambersburg, compris ing some twit - I:)undred and—sixty buildings, bad been burned by the bold invaders, but-that in the midst of their incendiary work Averill's 'troops arrived and drove them from the town. The report that tlierebels bad left . Chatuberaburg wits fully -con firmed yesterday, and the alarm and excitement caused by an anticipated attack upon the State capital at once subsided. They did an immense a •mount of derange, however, and car ried away With them'millions Of 'dol. fare wortb - of plunde'r•. The "scare" in •Cutnberland valley was fully equal to that caused by the late Maryland Invasion. 'On Satur day, evening the stream of frightened refugees Commenced pouring through this city, continuing without cessa• tion throughout the•niglrt and.up un. til yesterday •afternoon. ,Persons who came down. the valley informed us that the roads were literally lined with horses lElld wagons, presenting an almost unb'ro'ken procession 'be tween this city and .Shippenstrarg. Yesterday morning a portion of Av erill's wagon train, consisting of thir ty or forty wagons,-also reached here. What became of the balance of the . train is not definitely known. We hear rumors of its capture and de struction by the rebels, but cannot vouch for . their accuracy. Among the rumors afloat yesterday was one to the effect that a party of rebel raiders passed through Fulton eounty.early in the morning, whose destination was - stipposed - to be Mount Union or some other point on the Pennsylvania Central railroad, with a view of committing depredation's on the track and suspending 'railroad communication between the east and west, preparatory to an invasion of the western part uf"tb•e State by 'the rebel forces.
