713 E WAR,
Stonewall Jackson is at Hagerstown.: He has
crossed the' ridges separating the two valleys of
Western Maryland, and is now in strong foree
twenty-five miles northwest of ;the rebel head
quarters at Frederick. 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

Every man would become a sturdy, unyielding ene

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.

Only ,two courses now remain to yon—either
to"fight the enemy relentlessly, until the re

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

Even the base ingrates who have deserted the
blare and stripes will honor , the heroic forti

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

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 ----

—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

MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS OF JACKSON.
ITARIIISBURG, September 10-11 o'clock P. M.--.:lt is
now certain that no rebels had. entered. Hagerstown at 6
o'clock this evening.
Jackson had undoubtedly mamba! from Baorisboro
toward Hagerstown, but there is nothing reliable as to
his near approach to tbat place. He may be moving to
Williamsport to cut off our forcea at Martinsburg and
Barper'a Ferry, or direct upon Waynesboro, in this
State; the former movement is the moat probable.
The Roithern Sentra' Railroad and telegraph are still

The people •of Pennsylvania are now thorougbiY

in anticipation of the Governor's call, and within twon
ty•fonr hours 45,000 men will be In Cumberland valley.
Before Jackson can reach Ottambersburg he will bo re

GREENCASTLE, VIA OHAMIIRRSBURG, Pa., Sellt.lo.
.11IICh, excitement prevails here tonight, on account of
• routs of the • rebels advancing on Hagerstown. They
are said to be advancing toward that place by way of
- oavetOwn, so as to get in the rear, and out off all retreat
of guise who attempted to got away.
Up to 5 o'clock this afterteell there were no signs of
the enemy at any point, although some two hours DM
viona a negro, among others, reported them within three
'miles of the town. The people there were very much
excited and numbers were leaving with their families,
,while owners of horses were sending them out of town,
so that.the rehe'a conkl not seize them. A horse sr
wagon could not be' had at any price.
A merit came from Busselt's cavalry, with information

[From the Washington Star, last evening.
We hear that General Mantillas, is satisfied that the
force of the robots that have Crossed tie Potomac, were
Yesterday massed in the vicinity of Frederick. This ac
counte for tho faiinro . to find them in force nearer Wash
ing:on or BaiWmore,•or to hear of their progress north
or west beyond the vicinity of EfageTstown. If theyosn
afford to Tomato twenty:forir hours longer near Frede
rick, we do not see how they can possibly romps tbe Po
tomac as an army. We boVe good reason for this belief.
ii..boatnian,who came from the vicinity of Edward's

from Virginia into Maryland at a 'Doha nine miles this

MEETINGS TO ENCOURAGE ENLISTMENTS,
War, with all Its attendarit evils, is every day drawing
nearer and nearer to our homes and firesides, and it be.
hooves every pereon claiming to be an American citizen
to shoulder arms' and march to the southern borders of
our fltale, to protect tui from the vandal hordes who are
threatening the destruction ,of our State capital and our
own beautiful city. Our worthy Governor has issued a
proclamation calling upon "all the able-bodied men in the
State to be ready to march at an houes notice." fden
of.Philadelphis, do not remain idle! Prepare for war- -
bloody, cruel, and relentless war. Our enemies have
threatened that desolation and rui s di shall mark their pro- .
pees. Let WS then, as citizens of a groat and noble'
Cornmonwealch,rwith a firm reliance on high Heaven,
resolve that the soil of Pennsylvania shall not be dese
crated by the savage fiends who are endeavoring to make
incursions into our southern border; that liberty is right;
and must and shall prevail against any and every son of
oppression that may be arrayed against it.
The proclamation of the Governor hat caused conside
rable exoltement among oar population, and every one
sterns determined to profit by the advice giien, and be
ri ady to march at any moment when their services are
demanded.
In the Court of quarter Sessions, yesterday morning,
Judge Allison delivered an able and patriotic address ba
the emergency of the times.•
The meeting room of the officers of the Home Gaard
was the scene of groat manifestations of patriotism upon.
hearing of the Governor's proclamation. Some of the
cflicers were quite jubilant, and said they were preparei
to march at once, and, in fact, all the officers present ex
piers4 a wish to .beimmediately put into A . Qtiv..opxycio.

Sons, and a large numbei of people wended their way to
Camp independence yesterday afternoon, to listen to
the patriotic airs performed by Birgfeld's band, which is

PATRIOTIC ADDRESS OF .1 .- 6DGE ALLT6OY.
Yesterday mornfrg upon the opening of the court
of Quarter Sessions, Judge Allison delivered to the jury
an address on the emorgenoy of tho times. He spoke as
follows :
GENTLEWIIN OF TUE JURY': Before commencing the
regular twinkle's of the day 1 announce to you that, until
other wise ordered, the hour of adjournment of the court
will ho two o'clock isetead of three. .This change is con
sidered advisable, that the recommendations of the Go-
Verner of the State and the Mayor of the city, so far as
Son, gentlemen, the officers of this court, and all others
in attendance on its sessions are concerned, may be the
more effectuslly observed.
Halt of our city sleeps,- while the rebel hordes, already
Vri Min the holders of Pennsylvania, threaten us with in
vasion, with permanent occupation, with rapine; with the
visitation of tire and sword,. and all the attendant horrors
of an infuriated, besotted, and' maligoant foe. This
danger. so imminent that it thraatens speedily to expo:*
our homes, our sanctuaries, our wives, and our children,
has failed to awaken us from oar false,micurity.
The pathway from the Susquehanna; which the enemy
have aimbet reached, to Philadelphia, is a plain one,
with but few points at which his march. can be delayed,
unless he be met in Lrce equal to his own, and by the
aid of God, and the strong arms of freemen determined
to repel invasion, he be driven back or destroyed while in
the prosecution of his purpose. bhall we thus continuo
at este in the prosecution of our business, in the
enjoyment of our homes, until the foe be upon
us? Until the tread of his advancing boats,
and the sound of his hostile cannon shall than-
der in our ears, and the alatering of his
steel flesh upon our eyes? Better, far, to do what
ire can in preparation fur the contest before the
night be upon us; before we are driven as fugitives
from out- homes, Bled our city, with„its millions of trea
sure, and its countless stores be given up to plunder and
destruction. I speak not thus, gentlemen, to cause use
lees alarm—there is no necessity for panic or dismay—
but there is need, urgent, pressing, imperative, upon
every one Rho would be prtbared to defend hie hearth
and this good old Gcnsmonwtalth of ours, to be up and
d, log, that we may be ready etreotively to strike for
n our homes, our altars, and our Brea—for God and our
native land."
This danger, gentlemen, may, instead of advancing
upon us, in a few days or hours recede ; the pre-
Sumptuous foe may bel defeated, for the ,army ,
the , Union is upon his track, and he must turn
at bay and fight, or seek safety in Hight ; but if
these should come to pees, which may God grant to
us, let it not lull us into a false security ; that which has
been, may in- the contingencies of, eventualities of war
be again. It is the put of wisdom to prepare, while we
may, not only for the defence of our immediate homes,
but for the common home of each of ns, our country,
Our Union, our Government over all. That Government
which was given from Heaven,. wo believe, to our fa
thers, which bits been alike our glory and our protection,
the nointonance of which' can alone, save us from
anarchy and perpetual war among the States, and with
out which our naticn dies, with no resurrection in the
future for it. .
• .
For thin Union r and this Government thousende, and
among them some of the noblest, and parost. nod bravest
in the land have died •, their blood is yet fresh upon their
native or adopted soil; the sacrifice which they have
made we may be called to make; let each one be pra
t red to stand in his place, to do his whole duty; for

netts d4eguise the fact, that in the m;dist of us there are
