This seems to indicate a purpose upon the part of the enemy's commander hi-chinf either to invade the southern counties of Pennsylvania, by entering the State south of Chambersburg, and proceeding to that town, or else to pretend an attack upon loyal soil whilst he carries out his real de:!ign—hreaking of cornmeal - cation between Baltimore and Washington. In either Case we should be aroused. Our fellow-citi zens upon the border need all the aid we can give, them ; and the capital of the country, whilst one strong arm remains throughout the land, should never be isolated from the States which acknow ledge it still to be that 'Washington which the n 0... bleat Virginian of our early history made it in 1799. General McClellan is, watching the enemy from his position in the vicinity of Poolesville, but can only balk their movements in case of an advance in the direction of Baltimore or Washington. Protection tigainst a raid into Pennsylvania, (unless the army near Washington makes some sudden movement into this State,) can only be furnished by forces sent from the North. If Stonewall Jackson and his fellow-conspirator, Robert E. Lee; will take advice from us, and we think we are competent to counsel them, they will make no raid into Pennsy:vania. Once upon the fertile fields of Franklin, and Adams, and York counties, they would, perhaps, riot for a few days to their hiart's content. But then their barbarous success would end. A. retribution worse than that, which ever Wel an unrighteous army would stare them in the face. lllcOlel lan and his veterans would thunder upon their rear, and in front, from every tree, and fence, and clod, would rise an enemy. -The red-coats, who invaded Lexington, until they at •tempted. that ill-starred enterprise knew but little of the terrible destruction which can be wrought by a few patriots, who know the country upon which - they stand, and love it too well not to.alor a musket at those whoa pollute it. The whole North would , be aroused, No such miserable cowardice as that abein by falac-hoar tacl traitorg r . durtag Northern oeoupation of Southern cities, took the oath of allegiance only to break it when the Union army has gone, would be shown by our people. Every man would become a sturdy, unyielding ene my—each woman an opponent of rebel intrusion— and even the babes in so holy a cause would lisp .curses upon the heads of the traitor horde who were disturbing their homes. Let Stonawall Jackson pause beforelre crosses the Southern border. I'hilade9phia's'pap,ger Pennsylvania, and especially Philadelphia, 7rigia be defended at all hazards, The crisis is at hand, and we must be prepared to meet it with something of the spirit of our sires, wile have made the fame of our, city coeval `with the nation's history, and linked it with the glory of Revolutionary days. In the very.commencement of the present strug gle, it was a favorite boast of the Richmond press, that the flag of treason should float from Independence and Faneuil Halls. This threat we then despised ; it now seems in the way of realization, and still we may despise it. We can make the experiment a bloody one to the enemy, should he attempt to carry pillage and destruction, by fire or the sword, to our peaceful homes and hearths. They may cross the Susquehanna without mach opposition ,'they may lay waste our fields, and desolate our peaceful valleys, but a tearful vengeance must await them on the outskirts of our city. The City of Independence must be, will be defended to the last extremity. Washington ,may fall, : Bsititneriniliffilf, Revert This is the stern 'determination of every loyal citizen in our midst. But Foxe we done all that we can in this emergency? If the same danger bad menaced New York, which now threatens the destruction Of our beloved city, we should now see at least one hundred thousand of her citizens under arms. What is the important business en gaging us that we cannot close our stores and counting-houseshfo-day, immediately, and rally by tens of thousands to greet the in vader? Men of Philadelphia, Would you see the perfect rafety of our homes assured, and a Peaceful ending of the war accomplished? Only ,two courses now remain to yon—either to"fight the enemy relentlessly, until the re belliOn•ls completely crushed, or to ignomi niously submit to the dominion of rebel task masters. You have no alternative now, if you would avoid the fate of cringing servitude, but to fight the fight your sons and brcithers have been fighting so nobly for the last seven-' teen months—and die, if need be, for the quite, ennobled by their blood ! Arouse to ! Moments are ages, when the cause of human liberty is threatened by the hands of , treason, and the fate of millions yet unborn perhaps depends upon this issue An t ppm fok bur Soldiers. The Philadelphia public, with unsurpassed liberality, has given, generously to the support and comfort of the volunteers now in the field. A new appeal Is now made to us in behalf of :the levies shortly to be drafted. Their wants must be as urgent as in . the case of those we .have hitherto sent, and their claims upon the sympathies of their fellow•citizens will prove equally, as strong. One of the requisites of a soldier's outfit is a good blanket, an article which the Government will be unable to fur nish in proper time, as the market has beets exhausted, and the manufacture ot a new stock will require months that cannot well be spared for delay. Many of our citizens can help the Government in this dilemma, and we • hope•,to record, to-morrow, that they have re sponded' willingly to the call preferred by Quartermaster CRO.93IAN. Judge A;lrson'ts Address. The timely, patriotic, and judicious address of Judge AMMON., whickwe print in another column to-day, cannot be read without profit in the present crisis. It is unnecessary that We should more than call attention to it. The truths it enunc'ates are too suggestive to need comment. LETTER FRoity OCCASIONAL." WAsumurozr, Spt. 10, 1862. I had hoped that when General Itialiellan was placed in command of the army for the defence of 'iv ashingtan, ail attempts "to weaken his influence would cease. I see, howaver, by a weekly New York journal, which has been prominent and inflammatory in its at ' tacks Ilion s him, that there is a disposition to persecute him to the end. It is unnecessary to follow the arguments which are used. I concede the ability with which this New York journalist manages his case, but unfortunately he arrives at no practical result. Grant everything that 'may be said against McClellan—that his cam paign on the Peninsula, was a failure, his long delays on the Potomac unnecesiary, and his tardiness at Alexandria criminal—what is now to be gained •by bringing; up the past, and em barrassing the future ? I have cri:icised General McClellan when criticism seemed ne cessary. I differed from bis policy in the height-of his fame, because I believed, it to be wrong, and ,I support his policy now when he is assailed and calumniated, becausel believe he is servingihe Republic well, and because he is now the chief champion the Republic canlean upon. I want no better evidence of Gen. MeCiel lair's capacity than the fact that he has been appointed to his present command. Who, after all, is the best judge of a general's, fitness for his position? Is it not the President, and his commander-in.• chief:? They are not parti sans. They have no interest to serve but the dearest interests of St country. If they fail now, their .names become infamous in all coning -time. If they succeed, they live in ii story along with Cincinnatus and Washing ton. They know Gen. McClellan. They have watched his course with an eager and a jeal ous eye. They have heard his story of the Peninsular war. They know why he failed to take Richmond—and in giving him command of the army, they say to the people that the failure was his misfortune and not his fault. If we remove Ille,Clellan,who shall take his place 1 There can be no better answer than this to his enemies.. They tear down, but they do not build up. They insist upon disease, but suggest no remedy. kcCiellan is a soldier. No one will deny him great military qualities. He has exhibited them ou every occasion, and lam confident he will exhibit them on a grander scale in, upper Maryland. It is an easy thing to be a grumbler. :I can conceive no task' less difficult, in times tike these, than to denounce and to disparage. ilrhen we charge with crime, or inefficiency, or error, we become general and popular, and I question whether the true patriot is to be found in the man who constantly denounces and derides those who serve the State, and whose interest it is to serve it well, or in the man who is patient, confiding, and just. Much as we may dislike these whom we have placed in power, it is better that we should submit to their authority in these fear ful hours, than incur the natural results of any attempt to antagonize and over throw them. Now we have laws, a constitu tional" government, a legislature, an army under control, a free people, and all;the bless ings which our fathers gave to us in their written constitution. If these grumblers succeed we have anarchy. If we break down one of the dikes, the flood comes in, and sweeps away every vestige of liberty .and civilization. If any great man—that is to say, it any representative man. like General McCiellan—is to be sacr:flced to the mere opinion of those who criticised >hioi almost before he bad drawn;his sword, and who condemned him on the very threshold of his career, the consequences may be irre trievable. I do not like many of the influ ences which support General McClellan. I have done my humble part towards rescuing him from the hands of the sympathizers who use his name to break down the Government. But I am convinced that he is truly devoted to the cause, and I have seen nothing to show that he is an incompetent coin :tender. This is bold and earnest language, and I use it to counteract the attempt to ruin the Govern ment in ruining him. If he succeeds, it is the glory of the Republic—if he fails, it is the shame of the Republie. With the support of all true men, and at the head of his loyal and brave army, I believe that his success will' be certain. The present campaign will bring the decisive Contest of the war. Let us stand by him now that he leads - the - armies of the Union, and letus pray to God:that by his valor and from the dangers which now encompass it- The True Men NOW. The men who hold by the 'old flag, in this the darkest hour since that which 'saw it tua furled as the signal of human freedom amid the bloody baptiSrn of the Ainerican Revolu tion, will be remembered'ic :forever and aye !" Even the base ingrates who have deserted the blare and stripes will honor , the heroic forti tude of those who resolve to adhere to that glorious emblem of liberty, in the moment of their`direst peril. ' be False Men Now. The citizen who does not, in this gloomy crisis, yield up all party, or personal, or sec tional feeling to the regular Government, is ineffably infamdus. All his former pretexts for indifference will not• avail hiin. He might have recovered a lost position among his own people by an opportune penitence for his ear lier sympathy with treason. Now; he not only trebly loses that, but entitles himself to the contempt of the very traitors whose favors he would court THE Liverpool Journal of the 23d August mentions the departure of the Queen Dowa ger of Spadn,`with the Duke de Erinza.nras (her husband), their children and suite. The day before their departure they were visited by the Duke and Duchess.of MORTPENSTER the latter is the Queen's second daughter.

[Special Correspondence of The Press.] SLLICOTT'S MiLLO, )for, Sept XlO Ever sthing is oritttlhore at present, and a great deal of myetery attaches itself both to thS movements of ear own troops and totem of the rebels. It is generally ac knowledged, however, that Gem lAcOlellan biclds the advantage, and has frustrated the rebel pleas if any ad vanes was designed. As far as my information goes, I should say that the rebelk are in a very 4 i tight 'place," as they are certainly surrounded, and by Bach a force ti at they cannot hope to cut their way out, Unkitifi, In . deed, they have a strong and well Organizei force, a natter of some doubt here and elsewhere. - THE POSITION AT FREDERICK. - , Our troops have possession of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to a point about seven miles this , side of Frederick, and she rebel pickets are, in sigbt. Frederiok can be taken at any moment by. General Burnside, but the tiny) fCr this movement has not yet arrived. Tesertions from the rebel ranks are frequent. Prom conversations with deserters, we learn that the 'rebels have not a very great force in Xarylatid, which haying tailed in obtaining the thousands of recruiter and nu rueroue stands Of arnmpromiscd, are anxious to bo_car• ritd back to Oid Virginisy.?' They have succeeded in driving Ft large amount of stores and stoek over the Poto mac, but, in ocher way e, have not succeeded in doing RI n damage, and nuw fled themselves surrounded by ithegrand Army ot the Union, and almost certain of capture. The' rebels confidently cam cted the entire -population of Maryland would 'rise and join- them - as soon as they crossed the Potomac, but, instead of this, they have lost nearly two thousand men, by desertion, and have picked only a few miserable recruits. , THE STRENGTH OE THE REBEL • ARMY. Au intelligent rebel lieutenant, who has recently been captured by a scouting party tf General 33arnaide's win dr am ee, says that although the rebel army ie large and well organized, we have greatly overestimated its real strength in tne newepapers. The Coufederate generals do not for a moment hope to overwhelm us, •or even make an extensive invasion of Northern soil. They believe—at least the most sanguine of them—that Breit leaders are far superior to, our grnertila in a strategical point of view, having proved it on the field upon several occasions, and they hope by rapid increments and brilliant dashea, to weary our pact pie of the war, alarm the Government, and prevent na from advancing upon Richmond until winter when the bad condition of the roads will place an embargo on any Federal advance. During the interval thus obtained, they hope to recuperate and reorganize, and gain the re cognition of foreign Powers. The rebel army In Virgi• nia comprises four grand divisions, as follows: Longstrrt s twelve brigades'; Andersos, twelve brigades; Jackson, ten brigades; Joe Johnelonta old division, under command of Gen. A. P. Rill, ten brigades; cavalry corpse about six thousand men, under Gen. Stuart and. Fitzhugh Lee. Each brigade numbers from 1,800 to 2,800 111611, with an average throughout of 2,000 men, including a light battery of artillery "to every two brigades. In ad dition to this, a considerable army l 5 left at, and around Riobmond, under linger and the elder Rill, numbering, postibly, 80,000 men, besides numerous partisan corps of rangers and guerillas, as that we may say that the, rebel army in Virginia is not at present more than 160.000 strong. But it must be remembered that nu merous details have been, made, since' . the seven -days battles, from this army, to send Soud TTE ---- f oteeLt b,,e.s....ar.,..—revent campaign of —x-one - rrie — Eedera troops could have overpowered the rebels but for the attperioritY at the generalship of Lee, Longstreet, and Jackion—thrse latter having but allay thousand men; while we had over a hundred thousand, with superior arms, and artillery, and the choice of ground. The rebels acknowledge a fearful loss of men and officers, but all official reports are kept from the , soldiers arid the people. Every battle is represented as a, loonlvderate victory, and this has the effect of inducing the masses, who are ignorant, to believe that the cause to just, holy, and certain of success. OCCASIONAL. The feeling of the people of fdarYiund towards the Confederate invaders is unditguitedly bitter. They say they will make the Secessioniets in Frederick pay for' . all that Union men have lost in the present raid. The Unit n people—and they are plenty and true-complain that the Government Las been trilling with the traliots long enough, and they ere pleased to observe a change in the war policy. A large number of Union men from Frederick are in Baltimore, and are now being well treatsd by the. Secessionists, In fear of their impending day of wrath. I was informed yester day, by a noted Secessionist here, that the rebel invading leaders bad been warned of the danger of advancing any further inland, and were advised to retire . to Virginia as speedily as possible. Gen Burnside was in this vicinity yosterday. re . norm that all is going on well in the army of the rob mac, which is advancing, and Gen. McClellan holls every advantageous point in force. The report that Generals Miles and'White had been captured with their vvhele commands, is false. They haye ample supplies, bah a strong and rellable - force of men, strongly posted, and desirous of tt trying conclusions" with Stonewall Jackson, or any other rebel that may be so rash as to attack them. Gen. McClellan is In con stoat communication with Miles.and White. It ie currently reported and believed here that the rebel army. . In Virginia Is falling back through Tho roughfare Gap, into the valley of the Shenandoah, and that Heintrlettan and. Sigel are after them. They are either retreating to Staunton, or tryieg to get, over into Weetern Virginia.

I have just learned from another, who came s .direet from Lees burg, that, having failed to cross at Edwards' Ferry, they moved np tn . force on the Leosburg pike, with the supp used intention of moving to Harper's Ferry. A. ektimish took place 'y esterday, at Leesburg, bet sreen pennon of Stuan's Cavalry and the let Maryland Cavalry, in which, after some severe fighting, our troops were worded, having several killed and wounded. Four young men, armed and equipped, on their way to join the rebels, were arrested to-day at Nolan's Ferry, some three miles distant from this place, and aro now confined within a low -- yards of where I bit. They are .hot-beaded young men, and snob as are always found to be extreme in their notions, having very little judgment oruniture to enable them to form correct Opinions. They belong to the genus 1, Jokey." They are said to be-well replotted With mercy, which-tea& me to believe that they are hirelings, and that, therefore, the rebel canes is not sit popular in Maryland as the rebels themselvee would seem to think. It is reported that Sigel met four divisions of the enemy yesterday afternoon at Leeeburg, and drove them towards Winchester. It is now half past seven P.
