WHATEVER temporary reverses may 'befall the Army of the Potomac in its chase after the de moralized and fragmentary armies of the rebels, it must be confessed that the grand reverse and disaster of this war has overtaken the traitors in Maryland: The plans of their commander-in chief,' oommitted for execution into the hands of the favorite and hitherto most successful general field officers of the South, have been frustrated. If God has not confounded our enemies in their council hall, his Providence has given us the means of not only °overcoming them in the field, but has vouchsafed for us their total disoomfiture for all future designs. And why? Because our army has been reorganized and reinforced until its numerical force, if stated in public print, would open the eyes of such as have "all along doubted our ability to coerce the South into sub- mission." fdoClellan's army is of that sort and strength that the greatest of all generals said, if properly led, could march anywhere, eonquer ing and to conquer. McClellan has; been fortunate enough to meet and defeat the ,enemy in all his strength, while he was endeavoring to execute a mod urimilitary design, carelessly put into exeou ion, and the enemy can do nothing now but retreat and fight•all the way back to his capital—his ori ginal base—with a. Union invincible army at his heels—finally to surrender, covered with the igno miny and 'shame of his overthrow, in his " last ditch." The history of the " proposed rebel in vasion of the North" deserves at leant a passing notioe, because it is the grand idea of the leaders of this rebellion—for it bad swallowed up the hanners upon which were emblazoned, in brazen characters, " State Rights," "Southern Inde pendence," and the " Divine Right of Slavery." The mistakes of prominent Union leaders, and the naturally consequent disasters to our arms, em buldened the rebel leaders to hope that they could renew and carry out their first plan of treason, in electing Mr. Breekinridge" President--they would have seeured the National Capital . and archives, declare themselves the Government, and would have made la the rebels. The first at tempt to put this plait into execution was a politi cal one purely, and was foiled by the el eotion of Mr. Lincoln President of the 'United States. The second attempt was made with the force of irrus, which failed through the ability of - our Government and its generals in organizinst a great army almost:instantaneously after the battle .of Bull Run, Si d peeling it in the most advantageous positions to 'repel inroads and invasions, together with sea-coast' diversions and McClellan's great flank movement up the Peninsula. A third at tempt was made at the instigation of the Southern newspapers and leading rebel politiCians, by turning the right of our defeated and demoralized Army of Virginia at Chantilly three weeks ago—the pa age of the Potomac and the invasion of Maryland. The rebel diternons in the West were well matured, and well managed, but did not divert attention from paltimore.end Washington, as they were de • signed to do,—on the other hand, stirred us apt° our Work anew, and made our army irrepressible every where; so that this third, last, and greatest attempt to establish the Government of the Southern Con federacy upon treason and slavery, has proved the weakest and the worst for its originators. Its fail ure secures us the moat consummate victory and success; and these will, in proper season ; give tie an honorable and lasting peace in a happy, regenerated, purified, and prosperous country. The series of victories gained by General MoClellan and his able and gallant field•marshals will prove decisive col lectively; and a short time, should we be spared an early winter,.itill suffice to show to the people of the United States the beginning of the end of the Great Rebellion of 1861:-82. THE NEWS. REPORTS from the Army of the Potomac last night cover nothing but successes. Gen. McClel lan has got the, rebels in a' much worse situation thin they ever experienced before, and Lee's army, large'as it is, will certainly be annihilated before it can get back to Richmond. The fact that we hold Harper's Ferry, and have our army massed beyond that point, almost precludes the possibility of fording the Potomac by the 'rebels, without the moat disastrous consequences attending upon such orossing. The Union sky is getting brighter, and our great constollation of thirty-four stars will soon again light up the heavens, the betokening coming darin of the day of liberty for all .mankind.

The battle-field has been' larger than many of the modern empires of Europe. It commenced on the Chickahomirty, and now concludes on the Potomac. The rivers of Virginia, including the James, the Rapidan, the Rappahannock, the Shenandoah —the valleys and mountains of Virginia and Marytand, including the Blue Ridge, Ma_ passes, and the Monocacy, all combine to give magnificence and meaning to • the great drama, and become the land-marks and boundaries of the mighty scene. In the events we record to-day we think we can see the final consummation of this contest. The invasion of Maryland was the desperate resort of famished enemies. Their stubborn valor; their resolution; their hardship,/ and sacrifices, all showed that if they would succeed they must do so at once.' Maryland was their last hope. Rich, flourishing, and happy Mery land was to give them milk and honey, comfort and encouragement. In her intense.. devo tion to,,the Union they found a bitter betrayal of all•tlieir hopes. lifcCnsznArt gathered the remnants 'orthe Union armies, reinforced thent with the reserves that had come from the North, and at the head, of an army greater than ever he commanded before,- he pushed up the Potomac to meet s the haughty invader.

The present and fature condition of our countryis attracting the attention of our wisest and most patriotic statesmen. The conside rations involved in this great question are much more solemn than the immediate exi gencies of the war itself. Connected as they are with all the moral and political interests of the people, these consideratfons may be justly classed as paramount to everything else. Those who busy themselves with com plaints against the Administration, and cla mors against our generals in the field, and who display unwonted ability in this some , what doubtful work, should direct their talents to the grave._ and_ commanding questions, Whether our Government shalitake advantage of the developments of the last year, so as to strengthen itself ,for the great duties be fore it, or, .whether itz.shall fall • a. prey to „revolution and to anarchY Among•the men who are, now devori4 :themselves to the , Solution of these ,quetitiotts' is ~ the. Hon: Robert J. Walker, at preaent a'. sojourner in Washington. This distinguished • man, al though thoroughly identified' "Or the Ad ministration in the prosecution of the war, and heartily sustaining Abe. President in his entire - policy, neither 'holds, nor seeks, nor desires office, -yet with Mi. : large 'experience in public affairs, an' experience extending through nearly halt u century, he expreiiiei the lively interest be feels.in . the extraordinary moiements,oftheotir by rendering the most efficient service to the.constituted; autho rities. I understand that .GoVernor. Walker, and his law partner in this.. city, (his patriotic Secretary of State while he was Governor of Kansas undeillr. Buchanan, the Hon. Frede rick. P. Stanton,) have agreed to prepare a series .of papers for the Continental Monthly, in which several of the most absorbing public questions' will be thoroughly and earnestly • discussed. These gentlemen are singularly well qualified to perform this task. The one a member of the United States Senate for twelve years from the State of Mississippi, and the'Secretary of the TreasurY for four, the other a member of the House' from the State of Tennessee for eight years, they have been identified with most of the great struggles that have taken place between the two.parties, and have taken active and leading parts in their respective spheres. What two such men may say, there fore, will deserve the careful consideration and renaembrince of the American people. Among the questions that will be discussed in the forthcoming papers, that of emigration will be prominent. The demand for labor in the free States attracts the' attention of ptibli eists everywhere, and the Government, keenly alive to the necessity of providing a supply for this demand, is exerting itself to attract anew current of emigration from other countries to these shores. Governor Walker and Mr. Stanton have always been among the leading advocates of 'a homestead bill in the Congress of the Vnited•States, sukthey,w,ll contribute vastly to. the efforts, eflaie.Government in awakening the interest of therpeople of the Old world to the attractive fields of enterprise on this Continent They will 'show, that at no tieriod'iii time_ haVe the United States offered so many -inducements to emigration as they offer to-day. Mr. Calhoun, twenty-six years ago; resisted the'first homestead bill, when it was Introduced into the Senate by Governor Walker, because he foresaw that nothing could weaken the slave States so much as the filling up of the Western domain by the in. tellect and. ncOicle of the athletic races of Europe. • Gradually he detached his Southern supporters from ~.the party that advocated donations of lands to the_ landleas, until at, last none remained but Robert J. Walitr, in " the Senate ; Andrew. Johnson, George W. , Jones, and Frederick P. I!•tenton, of , Tennesitee, and Albert Gallatin Brown, of Mississippi, in . the House. The homestead bill passed by the list Congress, and soon to take effect, will be a most .powerful agency in tempting thither a 'new exodus from Ireland r . and Germouy. - Our WorishoPs require an imme diate supply of industrious and enterprising men. The hundreds of thousands now in the army have created a vacuum that must be filled, or the greatest calamities will. ensue. Oar enemies in Europe are busy in 'the work of depreciating the loyal States, in order to dis courage emigration, and. no nobler task could be assumed than'tlit of correctingttiCe alum. nies of these enemies. Among the opinions held by Gov. Walker, which he will explain hi the papers in the Continental Month/yOs iaot only that white labor must be attracted to the free States, but also to the slave States. In other words, while filling up the deserted ave nues of trade and industry in the one, a new and more vigorous population must be thrown into the others. The seceded South is ex bausthig itself of its white population..

SURRENDER' OF HARPER'S FERRY. Description of D'arpe'r's Ferri--:Snrren- der ,llnnecessary. [Special Correspondence of The Press ] . HARPER'S FERRY, Sept. 16, 1862 The greatest disaster that has yet befallen our arms occurred at this piece yeast day. A place upon which a great deal'Of time and an immense amount of labor had been spent in fortlfYing and making impregnable,' his, when the eyes of the American people , were turned to wards it, been suirendered, with its defenders And a hirge Quantity of military stores, to the'ellenliee of our cointry.

Onr forces had on the west side of the Ferry a complete chain of entrenchmente, extending from Camp Hill te the Shenandoah river. They made about four fifths ots circle, and were very extensive. They all had guns mounted !on them, some-of large calibre, so as to the the country on allsides. They wore built to prevent -Abe approach of a force by way of Charlestown and Burkett Loudoun Heights, overlooking the Ferry, on the south side of the Shenandoah, were not fortified by our forces: - Crossing the Potomac river at the railrotul bridge, we come to the far-famed Maryland Heights.' These are a part of the Blue Ridge mountains, and are very high. They are very 'nearly - perpendicular, and the cnly way to reach the top, is by a small dirt road, about half's mile north of the'railread bridge, along the cabal. This road is very steep, and only wagons of light draught can ascend, it. About two-thirds of the way up the mountain is a plaoe com paratively level, overlooking the country round for nearly twelve or fifteen miles. In 'this spate our heavy gum . ; were planted---lome IGO potato:len—and they were' . 'fixed so that they could sweep the country for miles . around Harper's Ferry. All our entrenchments laybe-. low, and any one, without even a particle of military • knowledge, could see that the salvation of Rupees Ferry and its occupants lay on our holding these heights.. In the rear of Maryland Heights is . a road leading from Williamsport to Sandy Book, and we had a fee/ gt ll t. but scarcely any men to defend It. - TER WAY OF CAPTURING THE FERRY To attempt to take Harper's Ferry on the Virginia skie would have been the greatest piece of military blurt. daring known, and therefore the principal attack wee certain to come from the retir of Miry . land Heights, and these once in the possession 'of - the rebels, our forCei o °rad either have to surrender or be cat, to pleceit, JACKSON'S MOYEDIRNTS When Jackson kft Frederick he rapidly', marched to Williamsport, crossed . the Potembo there, and proceeded to Idartitaburg, where he thought Gan.

The rebels, cut off from the iron bridge at Harper's Ferry by the advance of Ganerhl Franklin's corps; and fearing to cross the Potomac at any of the fords, with General McOlellan : pushing down hard upon them, took this creek for a line of defence, During yesterday the:battle raged with great Spirit, and the fixing on either aide was very heavy until to wards sundown, wlien the rebels were flanked by Hooker and Porter, and were being ;severely punished. Their firing became desultory, and it was evident that their ammunition was giving oat. ; This morning, the battle was renewed by the rebels with redoubled vigor; they acted as if they had been re inforced and furnished with fresh ammunition. The battle lasted until four o'clock this afternoon, when the rebels retreated, leaving General Longstreet ard the remnant of his division in our Minds as prison. ern of war.
