THE WAR
The invasion of our State is still a prominent
theme of discussion, eclipsing in interest oven the
important despatches from Kentucky. As to its
main purpose, we are still ignorant, although
momentarily expecting news whieh shall decide
this point. Thus far we only know that about
three thousand rebels, with eight pieces of can
non, crossed the Potomac at Hancock, proceeded to
Mercorsburg, thence to Cha,mbereburg, thence to
Emene4burg, (not to Gettysburg, it seems,) and at
last accounts they had reached New Al rket, a
station on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, about
thirty miles in a direct line west of Baltimore. They
bad thus deseribed a complete if not a symmetrical
circle, and, if we may be excused the ball, seemed
intent upon "squaring the circle" outright. That
they have, not undertaken this audacious
tour without first aequainting themselves with
its dangers, we can readily believe. That
they have not set out upon a mere plundering ex
.
cursion, we are likewise forced to conclude; for,
pressing as their necessities of food and clothing
might'have been, these might have been satisfied
by a visit in a less hazardous direction, where a
road of retreat would have been open to them.
That their objeet was not to seriously embarrass the
operations of the Cumberland Valley Railroad, is
likewise clear ler the bridaeLats.,,,,abma,:a w ,.„,„

north of Chambersburg was not destroyed, nor, as
far as we have heard, was any portion of the track
removed, The experience of the White House and
Manassas raids impresses us with the conviction
that this last coup of the rebels is mainly a recon
noissance, and that the destruction of property
has been simply incidental. The rebels, baffled
by the disposition and apparent inactivity of
our forces, thirst for knowledge. If General
Lee could believe,'as some of the Richmond papers
have said, that General McClellan's army was too
badly demoralized for immediate service, his course
would be clear enough, but the battle of Antietam
is too fresh in his memory to countenance this
fond idea, and he has, therefore, deemed it neces
sary to ascertain the true state of affairs by a
hazardous reconnoissance, which, however, may
prove partially successful. If the handful of re
bele who were daring enough to attempt it can be
intercepted, what some of us regarded as a disgraoe,
and a shame to our generalship, may prove a bless
ing—a victory coming to our very doors, and ao
tunny thrusting itself into oar astonished hands!
Our later despatches are far from satisfactory.
Wade liampton, a brigadier general in the rebel
army, commanding a brigade of oavalry known as
the South Carolina Legion, has performed one of
the most wonderful coups de guerre known in the
history of the cavalry service of any nation in the
world. One of the greatest risks a general has
run is met in his attempts to obtain correct informa
tion of the enemy through his reconnoissances, his
mute, arid his spies. Gen. Wade Hampton, efe
cuting the orders of a greater military genius, Gen.
J. E. B. Stuart, has opened up a new field for ea
valry, and by his recent successful raid has inau
gurated a perfect revolUtion in the use of that arm
of the service. Obtaining his information as he
proceeded, and operating upon an admirably con
calved plan, he has crossed the Potomac at Hancock,
sad made a most astonishing detour, destroying the
railroads, and thus temporarily cutting off Ma.
Clellan's two lines of communication and sup
plies, passing thence through Urbana, and reaching
the Potomac, which he crossed in safety in the
face of our forces yesterday. Thus, without meet
ing in battle any of our troops, these rebels have
successfully ridden around Gen. Moe itxt
mune army, marching a distance of about one
hundred and twenty miles in about forty-two
hours, stopping at various points on the route long
°Lough to obtain a large amount,of money, sup
plies, horses, and very valuable information.
Whether this movement could have been pre
vented, or whether any general can be justly
blamed for permitting its successful consummation,
we ahall not now consider. It is sufficient for us to
know that the misfortune has not been exaggera
ted ; and we cannot venture to predict to what
serious results it may lead. lf, however, it will
serve as an admonition to our generals to sea
henceforth that no raids take place in their
departments, whether in Virginia, Kenti‘
or Missouri, its advanteges may compensate us
in part for what we have lost. Let na Gave
no more raids ; let us at least be able to maintain
our lines of communication intact in a loyal State,
and let us for reputation's' sake alone, if for no
better reason, - defendour own territory from hive
elan. These are the lessons taught, these the du
ties enjoined upon us by the raid ,of Stuart's
cavalry—a raid which we hope the history; of the
war will never be called to repeat.
Southern Kentucky, after having furnished so
many good soldiers for the Union armies, has, we
fear, temporarily fallen under the dominion of the
rebels. We have the unwelcome intelligence from
Southern Kentucky, that squads of their cavalry
are scouring the counties of Green, Taylor, and
Adair, foraging and subsisting on the Union citi
zens. But the destruction of property is not the
only nor the chief mischievous result, The Union
citizens are intimidated and disheartened, recruit
ing for the rebel army proceeds briskly, and the
St cessionists are encouraged to defiance of the law,
and intolerable insolence. Already have rebel
raids become frequent, and unless some means
can be found to check them, they will entail beg
gary and suffering on many Union citizens before
the close of winter. We littrii:so many battles of
our own to fight here at home, that we are apt to
forget "the situation of our fellow oltizens in the
border States,' and in the West, who have a claim
upon the Government'evoteotion.
Loyaity;
Would it not be well for ,some of our citizens
tochallenge suspected sympathizers when they
present themselves at the polio to vote ? There
can be no . ,harm in making them take the oath
of allegiance. _We do not see why any person

Oen comnaxs are so overburdened with po
litical matters that we have scarcely room to
advert to the current events of the day.
We make no apology for having occu
pied so much of our readers' attention
with the engrossing 'issues involved in the
election. THE PRESS IS not a party newspaper
nor a political organ. It is simply, so far as
our humble exertions can make it, the friend
and champion of the Union. We see in
the cause of the Administration the cause
of the Union, and' the cause of the Union is
to us the cause of constitutional freedom. The
fight is almost over, however, and in a day or
two we shall resume our former position as a
thorough newspaper.
The Raid of the Rebels and the Disap
pozotment of the Sympathizers.
The joy of the domestic enemies of the Re
public, when the rebel cavalry dashed into
Franklin county, on Friday last, was inspired
chiefly by the hope that the Governor of
Pennsylvania would be compelled to call
thousands of loyal men from their' homes,
thus leaving to • morrow's election in their
'hands. The persistent course of such ma
lignants as Ituenes and REED, who, for
nearly two years, have advocated Secession
and separation, leaves little doubt in the
minds of patriotic men that the re
bels entered Pennsylvania by invitation. For
,weeks past our Breckinridgers have been
in the highest spirits. They have insisted that
they would overwhelm the friends of the Gov
ernment at the election. As their leaders are In
regular correspondence with the traitors, it is
clear that the great cause of their over
confidence and exultation was the fore
knowledge that this attack upon our
borders was to be made previous to
the election. They knew that the Union
men, if called forth by the Gov
ernor, would rush to the border to save their
State, leaving merely party duties behind
them, thus giving to the enemies of the Gov
ernment possession of the city of Philadelphia
and the State of Ptiansylvania on election day.
Every loyal man can point to instances in his
own vicinity, proving that this expectation
has been cherished by his leading political op
ponents. Now, however,: that this wicked
hope has been frustrated, now that the people
have a new reason for supporting the Union
ticket in the discovery of this base plot, and
have anew proof of the cruelty of the rebels
themselves, what man, pretending to be an
American citizen, will hereafter oppose the
Government policy of confiscating the pro
perty and emancipating the slaws of the re.
bell ? Now that these rebels have invaded the
State of Pennsylvania, and only needed a
pretext to shed he blood of unarmed
and unoffending people—now that they
robbed and desolated two, of the most
beautiful counties in our State, what is to be
thought of the bitter partisan Who perseveres
in denouncing the Administration of. Mr. Lis
COLE and the Congress of the United States for
resorting to severe measures to punish these
foes of human liberty and mankind ? Are we
to be insulted by the cry, as these barbarians
and robbers sweep through our fields ned
threateredeath and violence to our women and
children, that the Goeernment• that shall at
tempt to crush them u to be punished at the
polls by the people of Pennsylvania
F. W. Hughes as a Military Leaer.
TO THE DIB6IOODA.TB OF PENNSYLVANIA-
The telegraph informs us that we are invaded by armed
rebels. State, as well as Federal, sovereignty must De
attended. Ouch is the caramel doctrine of We Demo
crtaic faith. At this hour, too late to convene the-Con
tra) Committee, I am warranted to say, in their name,
that of the Democrats of Pennsylvania, every man ca.
gable of bearing arms ought to Hy to expel the ievadent
from our borders, and that at the call of the Governor
we will march against the enemy 200,000 men.
F. W. HOGIE(103,
Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee of
Pb ilad elphia, October 11, 1882.
We give Mr. HUGHES the benefit of his last
prentinciamiento. It is very like the passion
ate declaration of the brilliant Mrs. MicemnEa
—that she cc never, never, would desert Mr.
NIGAWBER,." HUGHES never will desert
liconEa. He has taken the State of Penn
e3,lvania under his guardiansttip. He ,has
come '"to - solemn tEat - tee
State' can only be saved by the Demo
cratic-Tarty, and, in eager haste-at - a'late
hour-4c at an hour too late to convene
the Central Committee," he rushes into print,
to offer two hundred thousand men to the
country, as an act of penitence for,his hostility
to the Union. But his figures, like his facts,
are eccentric.. Not' many weeks ago, in a letter
to Mr. SEWARD, evidently written in anticipa
tion of the discovery of his treasonable resolu
tions of February, 1861, he assured that states
man that his Democratic (secession) address of
18G2 cc contained the sentiments of not less than
three hundred thousand of the men of Pennsyl
vania." Thus it will be seen that HUGHES offers
three hundred thousand men against the coun
try, and but two hundred thousand men to de
fend it against the invader. We think it will
be as difficult for him to supply either the
major or the minor of his proposition.
It would, of course, bd imposs.bld for Kr.
HUGHES to write even a ten-line proclamation
without instructing the people, and he accord
ingly tells us what he considers to be cc the
cardinal doctrine of the Democratic party,"
that 4‘ State as well as Federal sovereignty
must, be defended." This we submit to be
treason as rank as that contained in the reso
lutions at the head of our editorial columns.
Where does Mr. HUGHES obtain his ideas of
State sovereignty Why should he make
the State sovereign lc as well as" the -
United States ? The philosophy of •Se
cession is contained> in this sentence.
JEFFERSON DAVIS has declaimed it in his
speeches a thousand tima s. It has been the
source of all the pernicious heresies that have
poisoned the public peace and.demoralized
political opinion. JEFFERSON DAVIS' is merely
defending 'State sovereignty in assailing the
Government, and the declaration
,of Mr.
HUGHES that his heresy is a cardinal doctrine
of the Democratic party only confirms the
charge we have made that the Democratic or
ganization is in sympathy with treason, and
that the legitimate result of its success will 'be
to recognize a cardinal doctrine of the party:
in recognizing the Southern Confederacy.
Mr. Huonzs, this will never do! You have
gone to far, and sinned too deeply to expect
to be forgiven on such a forbidding and un—
substantial repentance: :The record is clear,
and it is against you. Not, one of your senti
ments breathes real devotion to the country.
We have shown that in this cause you have no
sympathy,and that you have taken no public ac
• tion but to injure and assail the Government.
We have shown that you were against the Union
when you conspired againstDouclas at Charles
ton-when you wrote resolutions favoring, the
secession of Pennsylvania—when you sought
to invite anarchy by endeavoring to incite mob
violence ; anttnever more clearly than we do
to day, when, in an address purporting to call
the people to the aid of,the State, you utter
sentiments trom which every loyal man re
volts, and which would be more congenial to
the atmosphere of,Richmond than to that of
Philadelphia.
Reflections for lutelirgent Democrats.
Among the curiosities of politics there is
none so mysterious as the extreme malignity
of the leaders of the Breckinridgo party of
the free States against the Government and
the war. At no pei iod of our political history
has so much malevolence and hatred been
shown against the heads of the Federal
Administration as at this moment, when the
Government is involved in a struggle for its
existence. It would seem natural that the
distresses of the nation should excite the sym
pathies of all her children. The reverse, so
far as the leaders of the Breckinridge or De
mocratic party is concerned, is the painful
fact. They canvass for votes with as much
acrimony and activity as if, instead of desiring
to ruin, they labored to save the nation.
Their arguments, apart from their inconsis
tency and absurdity, are saturated with all
manner of uncharitableness. A few in
stances will suffice. They allege that the
Administration of ABRAHAM LINCOLN is
weak and incompetent, forgetting that they
refused to give that Administration their con
fidence before it was inaugurated, and before
it put forth its strength against the rebellions
At no time since the 4th of March, 1861,

it countenance or assistance,: But the Most
disreputable personal record against them is
tlie . ..riuMner. in which _they pereepitte"emo

merit is ever graced with a compliment of such
Democrats as ANDRETI Jornisorr, BENJAMIN F.
BUTLER, JOSEPH ROLT, and Dsmur, S., D i e m _
=son. Why ? Simply because' these hereto
fore shining lights of the DonOcracy have taken
unconditional ground in favor of the .ddminis
• tration and against the rebellion. On the other
hand, the gods of the idolatry of the Breckin
ridors are teachers like FRANCIS W. HUGHES,
WILLIAM B. REED, PETER Moaair,, and
CHARLES INGERSOLL. It is marvelous how the
virus of treason has poisoned the hearts of these
men. Scarcely one has subscribed a generous
donation to the funds for the relief of our sick
and wounded, or- in aid of those who mlrch - to
the field of battle:against the common enemy.
Nothing could be more significant than the
absk nee of the names of rich Breckinridgers
from that noble list. It is patent, however,
that they have subscribed immense sums to
embarrass the Government by maintaining a
reckless party organization, and in many cases
secret contributions have been made to supply
luxuries to rebel prisoners who have been sent
here, wounded or otherwise. One instance is
freely named, of a member of the family of a
leading Breckinridger supplying comforts and
delicacies to the privateers in Moyarnensiog
prison. This spirit might be credited to the
score of humanity, if any of these gentry, had
exhibited similar generosity to the. Union sol
diers. It is also worthy of note that, as they
ask the votes of the people for their respective
tickets, and attempt to fortify their professions
of loyalty by pointing to Democrats in the
army, thousands of these Democrats write
home, and frequently publish their letters in
the newspapers, denunciatory of these domestic,
sympathizers with treason. These are plain
truths, which every intelligent Democrat
should bear in mind before he votes tomorrow.
The Last Words of Douglas
It must not be forgotten by, the loyal Demo
crats who are charged with having left the
Democratic party, that the men who now con
trol that organikation in this city are the same
who revolted from the legitimate and fair de
cision of a large majority of the representa
tives of the Democratic party while at Charles
ton and Baltimore, in 1860, and so left the
true organization to aid the false one then
established and now existing. When accused
of this offence against all the rules of Demo
cracy they pretended repentance, and great
indignation against 13unotaxamax. But how
do they repent, and how do' they oppose
BRECHIERIDGE They repent by assailing all
Douglas men who do not follow the doctrine
of BREOKINRIDGE inside the present'organize
.
tion. DOIFOLAS is dead! The Union is at
tacked by'armed rebels, and all Democrats who
do not strike hands with the assassins of Don..
°LAS and the men in arms against the Govern
ment are to be branded as traitors to the Demo
cratic party. •
The inen= who persecuted STEPREN A.
Dounnas to his grave are again at work mis
representing that great statesman, and quoting
him in favor of a dishonorable peace. We
now reprint, before-the great contest which is
to be decided to-morrow, the last:public words
he spoke on earth, and there is not a traitor in
arms, or a sympathizer with treason, here or
elsewhere, who will not find in his solemn fare
well counsels a rebuke to himself, and to all
other enemies of the country. This language
looks like inspired prophecy at this hour, es
pecially when it is contrasted with the unceas
ing inflammatory appeals to the people to di
vide, in order that the common enemy may
surprise and destroy us :
This is not a time to go into a discussion of the
causes that have produced these results. The con
spiracy to break up the Union is a fact now kitowa
to all. Armies are being raised and war levied to
accomplish. it. There can be bat two sides ti the
controvery. Every man must be on the side of the
United States or against it. There can be no
neutrals in tins war. * *
There can be none but patriots and traitors.
Thank God ! Illinois will not be divided on that
question. I know that they have expected to:
present a united South against a divided North.
The conspirators have ban led to hope that, in
the Northern States, it would be a party question,
producing civil war between Democrats and Re
publicans: and the South being united, could step
in with their leg-attie and'help one to destroy the
other, and then conquer the victor.' Their ecagsne.f
was bloodshed, and all the. horrors ofeivtl - war in
every Northern State! There is one 'way to -pre

ing up the ranks, renders it impossible - mat - war

I repeat . that, as long as it was possible to settle
this question by peaceable means, I was willing to
make any reasonable sacrifice for that purpose ; out
when the question comes whether the war shall be
transferred ,from the cotton fields of the South to
the corn fields of 'lllinois, ',choose to say that ilia
further off the War the better. •

Mr, Cassidy's Record
Mr. LEWIS C. GAMEY is the nominee of the
Breckinridge Democratic party for District
Attorney. He has fully identified himself with
that organization by accepting the political
"association of such men as Mr. RANDA.LL, Mr.
BIDDLE, and Mr. REED ; by addressing meet
ings iu company with the Representative from
the Second district; by denouncing the Pre

of securing the influence of that organiza

accordingly obey those whom he has

a local newspaper.
The meeting was addressed by the Hon. Wm. D.

the Hon. Lewis C. Cassidy, of Philadirphia. In

THE PRESS. - -PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1862.
LETTER' FROM " PCCASIONAL..,
Wellartigron, October 12.
Whenever the rebels iptenda great movement
against the armies of the Republic in the dis
trict composed of Maryland, Virginia, and
Pennsylvania, including Washington, their
friends here are kindly told that it is coming.
Thus they knew of" the intention of Jackson
to attack our forces at Front Royal and at
tempt to capture General Banks with his
small force;: they kneiv of the second attack
at Bull. Run.; they 'knew of ,the advance of
Gen. Lee into Maryland; and two days before
the surrender of Harper's Ferry was officiiilly
known here, wagers were offered that it would
fall on Monday, the 15th of September.
Our sympathizers with . treason are the
friends, and in many cases the relatives and
connections, of your sympathizers with treason
in Philadelphia. It is an easy process for a
traitor here to correspond with a traitor in
Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, because
'their letters are never opened, and because
'they have many ways by which to conceal
their identity. The means of communication
•between Washington and the rebels that have
hung like dark clouds upon the borders of
Pennsylvania- are so available, that it requires
'only a few 'hours to' interchange opinions.
Hence, it is generally believed here that the
cavalry raid of Friday last ants the border
counties of your Stale was first communicated
to the traitors in Washtngton, and by them com
municated to the syMpathizers with treason in
Philadelphia. More than this, that this raid
was advised and called for by the leaders of the -
Breckinridge party an Pennsylvania. This
theory is not a forced or an nnnatmetl one, in.
view of all that has gone , before, aryl of all that
is known of the enemies of the Government
here and in Baltimore. If Gov. Curtin had
been panic stricken,-.as he-was not—if he had
regarded the raid as a formal .invasion into
your State, ho would have telegraphed to your
authorities in Philadelphia and elsewhere, and
called to the border the hosts of gallant men
who rushed there several Weeka agO, and then
your important elections would have been
committed to the tender mercies of those who
insist that it is the duty of'- Pennsylvania to
unite herself with the Southern States.
Greatly to the credit of your Chief Magistrate,
he was not frightened . into sudden telegraphic
despatches, but calmly bided his time.

The lack of horses at this time In our army dol . /biters

venture. Our cavalry Is well nigh . efoot for the trine be

Railroad at New Market. They deetroyed the railroad
track and telegrliph, and then etruok for the Potomac,

icaRDERICK, Bid., October 12-0 o'clock P. ?it —The
'following is ai special deepateh to the American:
When the intelligence was received hereof the cross
fog of Stuart's Gavalry into Pennsylvania it wee gene
rally anticipated that they would endeavor to make their
exit from this State by way of trme of the fords near
the mouth of the Monocacy, and General hloOlollan
immediately ordered a movement of troops to intercept
them on the roads leading in that direction
On Saturday afternoon we had intelligence of their
having reached Emmetsburg by way of the Fairfield
road, where they halted for some hours, and it is said,
but not generally believed, that a force was sent from
there to Gettytbarg, whioh le about ten miles farther
north. The rapidity with which Choy are known to have
moved 'after leaving Ghanibeisbarg clearly shows tb.t
they did not visit Gattyeburg. During elattu^day after•
dcon and •evening large bodies of Federal troops, con
sisting of cavalry, Infantry, and artillery, were ordered
to .the vicinity of Frederick to protect the immense
stores there, it being anticipated to bo the purpose of the
rebels to destroy these as well as the railroad bridge at
Nonocacy station. Other. troops were also nut out on -
the different roads leading from the Pennsylvania lines,
and hopes were . entertained that the invaders would be
intercepted and captured.
&Intelligence was received.un Saturday night, at 12
o'clock, that the'enemy was moving towards Frederick,
and had reached Woodebero, which 43 ahout eight Mike
tortheeet of the city, they having diverged from the
direct road from Emmeteburg so as to be able to choose
a route east of Frederick on their way' to the Potosiao,
if it should be necessary for their safety. •
On reaohing Woodsboro, General Stuart ascertained
from his scouts that a large Federal force was stationed
to intercept him, and that General hiculellan had dis
covered hie movement eaetward in time to atrard amratt
protection to the Government property at Frederick and
its vicinity. This made it necessary that he snould
move rapidly to avoid capture before reaching the Po.
toupee.
Four additional regiments bad arrived by railroad
during the evening from Harper's Ferry. with additional
artillery to reinforce the j troops already here, which fact
it has been since ascertained wan reported to the enemy
at Woodsboro. On qceiving the information that the
rich prize they anticipated at Frederick and the alone
oscy Junetion were ode, consisting, besides the bridge, of
twelve locomotives, 200 loaded cars, and great quantittes
of hospital and army, stores and wagons, they started off
in an easterly direction by the Liberty to en toad to New
,Market, on the Baltimore turnpike. This movement re
quired a wider detour to reach the Potomac, of ton or
fifteen miles, making it necestary to push for the fords
below instead of above the month of the blonocacy.

FRED/RICK,' Md., Oct. 12-11 P. M —[Special to the

&MOD of our troops.
' There are reports that the movement of our troops
from below had'cnt them off from Conrad's Ferry, but as
there has bten no filing since noon, I have no doubt
that they ere over the river beyond pursuit.
The statement that they went in the direction of Get
tysburg is altogether false. From Chamberebnrg they
made for the river by the most direct road, passing
bbont seven miles nofth of Frederick.

Since then it was euppoeed the enemy would give battle
at Bay&town. My troops resehed that point on the 4th

artillery.
The main body retired towards Springdeld, whither
the jursuit was continued. The centre corps, under

At 4 o'clock I received er request from Gen. McCook
for reinforcements, and learned that the left had been
severely engaged for several hours, and the;t vie rignt

from the centre.
Orders were also sent to the right column, under Gen.
Orittendrn, which wee advancing by, the Lebanon road,
