C4r Virtss. FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1864, .We can take no notice of anonymous COMIIIII. aloations. Wo do not return rejected manuscripts. Alia-Voluntary corrospondonco is solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our dliferent military and naval departments. When used, it will be paid for. The IVar In Denmark. It is possible that wo shall have peace in Europe. The King of Denmark, finding that all Europe had neglected her appeals for sympathy, that the selfishness of,Eng land and the ingratitude of France had been endorsed by the legislature of either country, and that the war had thus far been a war of submission and retreat, has removed his war ministry and summoned around him statesmen who belong to' what is called the Retrogradist party, and who arc known to be in favor of peace. In the meantime Prince JonN of Glueksbourg, the brother of the King, has gone to the Prus sian capital with instructions to offer terms to the German Powers. This sudden de termination of the King has excited much surprise in Europe. When the Conference of London , was in session no Power was more urgent in demanding con ditions that could not be granted with out war than Denmark. The repre sentative of the Monrad Ministry made demands that a stronger Power than the. Danish monarchy would have hesitated to ask. Their country was in the hands of a strong army, their forces had been de feated, and yet they spoke as men who were conquerors. 7 bey believed in the public opinion of England and France, in the newspaper press, and the many de mands for intervention, as Well as the pre sumed attitude of the great Conservative party. They knew that their rights were protected by a treaty in which England, France, and Prussia had promised them immunity from German claims. Germa ny, however, would not be intimidated by thread! She kyle* the Great Powers bet ter than her weak and trusting neighbor, and she presumed to war. We see that the result is decidedly in her favor. If Denmark had sued for peace a month ago, or if she had admitted to the terms pro posed by Lord Ross Eta, in the Conference, she might have retained a part of Schles wig, and perhaps been admitted to a voice in the deliberations of the German Diet. During that month the arms of the allied German Powers have gained new triumphs, and now Denmark will be compelled to sub mit to whatever victorious Germany will I impose. At all events, the independence of the contested duchies will be as sured, and Schleswig-Holstein will become a part of the great Germanic Confederation. What other terms Germany will exact we do not know. The Loudon Times et - presses a wish seeming almost brutal, when we remember the haughty tone that journal has hitherto held, "that the German Powers will refrain from inflicting on Denmark the worst humiliations of the conquered." We are so busy with war ourselves that we have scarcely bad time to pass any opinion upon the unfortunate Schleswig- Holstein difficulty. There were some ques tions that possessed some interest for us. We are in favor of nationalities, and so far as this war was an effort of the people to unite all of Germany under one govern ment, our sympathies were with the Ger mans. But the most enthusiastic German - would not contend that Schleswig was a German duchy. Holstein was as Teutonic tts Hesse-Cassel, and Holstein might have been conceded, .but Germany, proud in her strength,.made tho .war ono or -aggression: - She demanded Schleswig. She has ob tained it. She is even discussing the pro priety of still further exercising her power, and seizing Upon the whole of Denmark as au appendage of the Confederation, giving it as a dowry to some beggarly prince.. It was against such a fate that• Denmark made her war, and she has made it with a degree of energy and fortitude that has made her people the ad miration of Europe. In this war reasons of State policy have controlled the Govern ments of Europe-=-0e people were earnest in support--of Denmark, and would have justified the interference of their Powers. We believe England would have fought for Denmark if the 'Queen had not been obsti nate and Lord RUSSELL cowardly. There could have been no hope from France. The Emperor was desirous of putting the pressUre of force upon Russia in. the case of Poland, but England refused. The Em-' perm' was desirous of having a Congress to rearrange the affairs of 'Europe, but Eng land refusi.d. These measures would have been popular in France, just as a war for Denmark would have been popular in Englanthz' Therefore, whether for pique or revenge, when Lord RUSSELL came to the Tuilleries as a suppliant, he was polite ly told that the Emperor was otherwise en gaged and "could not go to the party." In the interests of peace we are. rejoiced that this war is at an end. Denmark has lost everything but her honor ; Germany has incurred a degree of odium and dislike that will cling to her for another genera tion ; France has the satisfaction of know ing that her Emperor has again outwitted "England ; Russia has been permitted to op press Poland to her heart's content ; while England blusters and goes round the world to find a market for her linens. That nation will long have occasion to remember the Danish war as the most humiliating chap ter in her history. • J 0111( Buaws, JOSEPLI BLESSING, ISIDIA EL DAY, and some other simple and noble old men will long be remembered among the real heroes of the war. Those we have named are all farmers, and all very nearly octogenarians. The first is that quaint and rustic gentleman who put on his "Sun day's best" and entered impromptu the glorious fight at Gettysburg, receiving three wounds before tie quit the field. The second made a fortress of his barn near Ha gerstown and held it for a day against a numerous enemy, when the Union troops came to his relief. The story of the third is more popular, because better known. Without a moments' qualm he shot the man who attempted to pull down his flag, and upon this deed he staked all he possessed. In a letter called forth by a friendly note from one of his uncounted admirers, this heroic gentleman is com pelled to say "that any little office:suit able for an old man in his 73d year would at this time be very acceptable, and thankfully received from any quarter whatever." There should be no lack of offers to assist the old patriot, but our Go vernment will do itself especial credit by pioviding for him. A touching feature of Isnwent DAY'S heroism is contained in the fact that after his house had been burned, and the man he had shot was abandoned by his own comrades, this good and brave man went back and bore him to an hospital. We have reason to be glad that, while. our young men are so TALL giously fighting the battles of Freedom, the old men of the land afford us examples of heroism which equal or surpass the tra ditions of the Republic. Ws see that the President has conferred the appop . tinent of a brigadier general upon Colonel WILLIAM 3IebANDLESS, formerly commander of the 2cl Pennsyl vania Reserves. The Colonel commanded the Reserves during the latter years of their service, entering when the war began with the'rank of major. Ile was wounded in the second battle of Bull Min; and sub sequently at the battle of Spottsylvania. lie is a — hrive, gallant soldier, and his . -commission is a tribute to his merits. A contempbrary suggests that Colonel Mc- CANDLEBS will not accept this appointment, in consequence of hiS affiliation with the Democratic party. We, of course, regret the Colonel's political sympathies, but ho. is too true and gallant a soldier to shirk any duty his country may require at his hands. Colonel MCCANDLESS is one of the young heroes of the country, hiving just * passed his thirtieth year. True Democracy. The recent eloquent and patriotic words Of Mr. JOHN CESSNA will, we fear, strike unfavorably upon the ears of those false Democrats who have counted upon the In fluence of this gentleman, and the thou sands of whom he is so manly.a represen tative, to aid their efforts to oppose the war. But the Democracy of Mr. CESSNA is unquestioned ; his views will be endorsed by the great and sterling majority of his party ; and it, will be useless to name hint an Abolitionist, or to read him out of the Democratic ranks. The address of Mr. CEsSNA before the Franklin and Marshall College of Lancas ter is remarkable for its expression of un conditional patriotism, irrespective of party or prejudice ; nad WC commend it to those of his party whose misinformed hostility to the Government would lead them to oppose the safety and honor of the nation: In his denunciation of the enemies of the war, Mr. CESSNA. draws the line broadly between the true and the false Democracy; and the words he applies to those mal contents who habitually oppose every act of the war have a peculiar interest as the expression of one of the leading Democrats of the State. The following is a simple and telling e.iposition of the artifices resort ed to by the disloyal faction in the North: At one time this is styled a. negro war—at another a negro has no business to serve as a soldier. When our armies are defeated the Governineut is incom petent and inefficient, or it would have raised more men. When volunteers are called they aro opposed to the plan.. They want an enrolment so that all may have an equal and a fair chance. When the draft COMB it is unfair, un lawful, and dep rives them el their constitutional rights. The clause of the act allowing payment of commutation is all wrong, be cause it discriminates between the rich and the poor. As" eon as it is repealed, these soli same men strive to excite the anger of the people, because it Is another step towards a military despotism. All these things do the people no good, lead only to angry discussions, bitter controversies, numerous distensions, prevent men from enlisting into the service of their country, have already .pr,idueed bloody riots, and may culminate in tierce neighbor hood and fireside war. These dangers are truly great and calculated to dishearten the patriot; but it is confidently believed that they will, sooner or later, all be overcome. There are uniortunately those among us who can not discuss the question a single moment without showing that they are at heart foes of the Govern ment and enemies of their race. The people soon learn to find out and know these men. human skill and ingenuity and all of a traitor's cunning cannot long succeed lu concealing their real sentiments. They hang back or skulk away from our public sab, erings on our national holidays; they disparage Union officers anti soldiers and eulogize the rebels. All Union victories are insignificant—of little Re count; rebel victories are of incalculable value and Importance. Good news Is never credited—bad news is piton originated, believed, and circulated long be fore verined. Taxes are obnoxious and oppressive ; drafts tire unconstitutional and odious; war is bloody and desolating, and the nation ought at once to atop it. For nearly four years everything has been wrong ; nothin excellent, nettling even praiseworthy or passable has ever been done by their own Government—only mistakes, wrongs, wicked eels of tyranny, and earnest appeals are mace to the people to rise in their might and pre vent the establishment of a military despotism. During all this tireo they have never been known to utter a word of denunciation against the rebellion, or Fee an Improper act south of the rebel linos. These are the unmistakable ear-marks of the trai tor. lie may remonstrate; he may write down be neath the picture in large letters the word " Pa triot;" he may, in very noisy and earnest words, inslst,that he is a "sound Democrat," and that every man of his party who sustains the war is an "Abolitionist." •Tet, after all, he Is neithera pa triot nor a good Democrat. You.may turn him up side-down and inside-out, and cleanse anti wash him with all the pure waters of America, and you can make nothing out 01 him but a poor, miserable traitor—just such a one as General Jackson would have strung up for treason in his day, and looked fur the anthortly afterwards! The Seusou and the Harvests. In the midst of these terrible dog-days, - when the mercury has risen in the ther mometer almost as high as the premium on gold, and the rush to the sea-shore and the mountains calls to mind a charge of the . Light Brigade, we unfortunate dwellers in cities, whom an unhappy destiny de bars from sharing the sylvan recreation's of the season, may perhaps extract some grains • of comfort from philosophy, and discover in the suggestions of the season cause for thankfulness, if nothing more. There is no condition of mankind, however melan choly, in which specious argument and careful rhetoric cannot find ameliorating circumstances and compensating causes. Inn word people are never so lad.nff. that they Might noffeiiiiiah'iiiirse off. None of us are wretched. In spite' of the hot weather, it can be logically demonstrated that we are all supremely happy, if we would only take the trouble to Investigate the matter. Just look at the facts. Every one knows that spring was ushered in with in cessant rains, whereat folks in the town prophesied a sickly-summer and folks in the country the destruction of the . wheat. The gates of heaven were closed, the rain ceased to fall the crops all grew amazingly:, and Mr.._N wior;_front-t the Agricultural Bureau at Washington, 'gladdened the hearts of all patriots and horse-jockeys with the announcement that the hay crop was nearly twice as large as .it should have been all over the country. It seemed as though Providence had directly interposed to smile upon our cause, and that inasmuch as the war for. the Union had somewhat inter fered with agricultural• interests, agricul tural interests were thus to be compensated for the loss. But there was nothing miracu lous or.supernatural•in the heavy hay crop. Jt was only another evidence . of. the beau tiful operations of universal laws. GIiANT, in the East, and SEIERMAN, in the West, had opened the spring campaign - with long, weary marches, and severe, 'exhausting battles. ; Every march and every battle was an outlay of the national capital, no matter what important military results ensued. We might fling up our hats and cheer, but the Secretary of the Treasury had 'sterner work before him. Were we rich and prosperous enough, as a nation, to put clown the rebellion ? Our manufactures were considerably crippled by the drain to -the army; our coiumerce was badly crip pled by the operations of the rebel pirates. How as to our agricultural interests—were they sufficiently developed to sustain the pressure ? It would be very hard for kr. NEWTON, or anybody else, to answer the question definitely. But the question an swered itself. Both armies pushed ahead and fought battles, some of them the most •desperate in history. And, in some strange meteorological way, as everybody knows, the shoele of battle loosed the floodgates of heaven, and rain fell in torrents. So the sweet-scented clover-grass grew knee-high in the peaceful Northern fields, and on the scarred Southern battle-fields grew up and hid from view the mounds where our fallen heroes sleep. It was one .of the blessed compensations that Nature'S hand'is never weary of providing. So true it is that a righteous war is uo incompetent or blind affair, but out of its own necessities brings • forth the sinews for its further prosecution. If there bad not been . so many battles, tax ing the treasuries of the nation, there would not have been such heavy harvests. filling the granaries of the nation. Therefore, folks in the country who prophesied ruined crops have 'abundant cause for gratitude, and folks in town, who predicted pestilence, should feel very thankful too. Nevertheless it is not so. Both classes have flown to the diagonal extreme. GRANT, having done all the hard fighting necessa ry to reach Petersburg,Jaid aside his sword for-a while to . scheme and circumvent. In stantly w there as no more rain. A period of drought succeeded, unexampled perhaps in the last twenty years for its severity. Again the country cried that the crops would be ruined, and again the town cried pestilence. Well, neither.of these dire re sults has followed. General SRERMAN had a very spirited engagement at Atlanta, last week, and on Monday morning "came a grateful," revivifying shower that saved the corn, and oats, and potatoes, and brought down the price of vegetables to a more ge nial figure. - It is hot weather for folks that have no cottage by the sea, and in narrow thoroughfares at noonday the at mosphere smells stewed, as the atmosphere in all hospitals and charitable institutions is very apt to do. But what have we to do with complaining, so long as our brave boys, who toil all day in the broiling sun, before Petersburg and Atlanta„and can get no lurnp•of ice to dool their parched lips, except they g9t into the hospital, are as merry as the crickets and as busy as the bees? Take us all in all, most of us arc enjoying ourselves, negatively, if not posi tively. The streets - arc thronged ; the stores are thronged ; even the theatres are thronged. In a little while, less than a month, at any rate, the season will wear a still more auspicious countenance. People .who luive preferred spending their summer by tho sea-side to paying their too-easy creditors, will be coming back to town in droves.. 'And . aimultancou6ly Atlanta and Petersburg, the left and right wings of the rebellion, will probably have fallen. In which case,. imitating the language oc the enchanted fish in the Arabian Nights, when struck by the black sorceress, we may all join in the exclamation : " We overcome and arc content I" ELECTIONT, during this year of the war, must have a hundred-fold significance and importance, and no patriotic citizen can afford to neglect the least of them. The popular vote of Tuesday next will largely affect.the interest and honor of every citi zen of the State, and tend to shape the re sult of subsequent elections. The consti tutional amendments which are offered to the people of the Commonwealth arc wholly worthy of their most cordial approval. They assure the right of our self-sacrificing soldiers to the freeman's common privilege of voting, check legislative corruption, and secure to our local judicial tribunals a greater integrity of action. It seems im possible to dispute the benefits which these amendments must confer upon our consti tutional government ; but the party which has resisted them in the Legislature will find plenty of blind adherents throughout the State. Above all, it is necessary for the cause in whose behalf our soldiers offer their blood that they should be allowed to vote. Our citizens should give their whole earnestness to this issue, so that the elec tion of Tuesday next will call forth the full strength of all who arc thoroughly loyal to the cause for which our soldiers fight. If all do: their duty, the coming election will be a noble tribute to our brave men, and a still further guarantee of the triumph of the nation. RECRUITING throughout the city and State should be pressed forward with every energy. The people, must rely upon their own efforts almost exclusively to save them selves from the draft, which takes place on the sth of September. We feel assured that comparatively very few recruits can be gathered from the States in rebellion ; and these only with much effort on the part of the agents sent by the various communities and counties. The burden of the new de mand for troops will fall directly upon the people, and unless tenfold industry is shown in raising the funds and waking up the volunteer spirit, the draft may operate with unexpected severity. From now to Sep tember the people, under lead of every pro minent and patriotic citizen, should devote themselves with spirit to the work of clear ing their wards and districts of the draft. Men of means, who can offer two or three representative recruits, may perform a no ble public act. All citizens can do some thing to_ aid their own self-protection. But it will need every effort to clear our com munity of the draft, or make it fall lightly upon the mass of the public. WASIMENG/TON. WASHINGTON.

The Star has direct information from Hagerstown, Maryland, up to seven o'clock yesterday morning, saying that the Confederates had made no attempt up to yesterday morning to cross the river, although their pickets occupy the Virginia shore opposite Williamsport, and occasionally tiro across the river_atorir troops. There is no doubt that Colonel Milligan sllectfrom the effeot of wounds received on Sunday. General Averill received a slight wound in the forehead at the same time, but not sufficient to pre vent him from discharging his duties. Notwithstanding the excitement at HagerstOwn business is still transacted, but the storekeepers have but few goods exposed for sale, as they have received no stocks since the recent invasion. Considerable excitement exists at Frederick, and many of the citizens are leaving that city. Business Is almost entirely suspended, and yesterday morning the banks were all closed and there ware but few stores open. General Crook Is said to have effected a very skilful retreat from bofore a force double his own is numbers, and to have punished his pursuers quite severely, when he was able to make a 'stand . and tight them. Our loss Is estimated at from 1,000 to 1,2001 n killed, wounded, and mining. Martinsburg is undoubtedly in the possession of the enemy. A. very unsettled feeling prevails in this city and the surrounding country. The Inhabitants feel themselves exposed at almost any time to rebel raids, and scarcely know what to look for or what to do. Very much of the crops in this and Wash ington county will be lost for want of labor to gather and preserve it. The rebels have swept off the horses, end the minds of the men are too much agi tated with rumors and apprehensions to attend to work. much of the wheat is still standing In shocks In the fields, and a very small proportion of the whole crop has been threshed. , Di,the city. a similar position of affairs prevails: 'The store_ keepers have sent away the most valuable portions of . their stock, and there Is no disposition to refill their stores until there is some certainty that the summer visits from "Dixie " aro over. The -Secessionists, Southern sympathizers, or whatever they may call themselves, are, perhaps, the most uneasy portion of the community. They complain that they are mado . to suffer by both sides, that the rebels make little or no destinction in their favor in their raids, and that' they are also threat ened with reprisal by the 'Union - men. Many of the wealthy of these classes have sent away their sliver, pianos, and other valuable articles, and several of the most prominent have announced an intention to remove to the Northern States for protettion: • General Hunter has determined to adopt severe measures for the punishment of all those who! in any way gave aid or comfort to the rebels during their recent Invasion, and the provost marshal, Major Yellott, has issued a notice calling upon loyal citizens to furnish evidence against parties who thus co m m Med. themselves. ' The publication office of the Cilir.en, an ultra- Copperhead paper, bee been closed, and its pro petters, Messrs. Bingham and Norris, are under arrest and will he sent South. The rebel force on the other side of the Potomac is busily engaged in gathering the crops in the She nandoah Valley, which are very heavy. this Soar. Many believe that there will be no invasion until this is accoMplished. The counties of Berkeley and Jefferson have been levied on by'General Early for 200,000 bushels of wheat, to be fUrnished already threshed, with a no tice that if they are not furnished promptly the en tire ornp will bo confiscated. .

[From the Atlanta Appeal of July 1.6.] EXECUTIVE DarenvltuNT, ILLUDGEVILLE,Ga., July 0, Mt —To the Reserve Militia - of Georgia: A late correspondence with the President of tbe Con federate States satisfies my mind that Georgia is to be left to her own resources to supply the reinforce ments to General Johnston's army, which are ladle pensable to the protection of Atlanta, and to pro vent. the State being overrun by the overwhelming numbers now under command or the Federal General upon our • soil. The officers, civil and military, who constitute in a great de _grec, the remaining active militia force left .to the riAste by. the different acts of conscription, have Already been calied out, and have rendered effective service, while they, us well as the two regiments of the State line, have distinguished themselves by gool courage and intrepid valor when attacked by "the enemy. But there is need of further reinforce zygote, as will be seen by the accompanying letter of Gen. Johnidi n ; and while a very large proportion of the gallant and chivalrous sons of Georgia are on distant fields, defending the soil of other States, It becomes my duty to on ll forth every man in the State • able to bear arms, as fast as they can be armed, to aid in the defence of our homes, our altars, and the graves of our ancestors.

I also 'order all free white male persons in this State, between the egos of seventeetraud fifty years, who arc exempt from Confederate conscription, -and ate not absolutely unable to do militia duty, which disability must be shown by the certificate 01 a surgeon properly appointed under the laws of this State, to reywrt_ with the militia of their respective counties, as they are subject to State militia duty., And I further require all white male persons between said ages, In this State, not In actual military service of the Confederacy, except as herein exempted to report, also, as I cannot suppose the President w ilt claim as exempt from militia duty in this great emergency, the Islip number of able-bodied young men who have Confederate details to attend to, and various industrial avocations and pursuits, in which they • have no military service to perform. It cannot surely be the intention of the Confederate Govern ment to place a large number of young men, able to do service, in the orgaidzation, to keep them out of the bullet department. Hence, I claim their aid in the field tiff this emergency is passed, and direct, in case of their refusal to report when others embraced in the call respond, that their neighbors who are going to camp arrest them and compel them to go.- The time allowed en - abler those of them who aro planters to lay by their crops, or to approximate so near to completion that serious injury cannot grow out of their absence, while little damage will be done by the temporary absence font their places of Confederate tax asses sors, colleCtors, supers, mechanics,. secrebsorvlce men. etc., us their business must cease entirelyA' the enemy overruns the State.

COMMANDER." - Sr. Louis, July 28.—The Democrat publishes a long account of the conspiracy for the erection of a Northwestern Confederacy, referred to a few days since. 'Thy organization engaged In this con spiracy Is known as the order of "American Knights," and their object . ls to embarrass the Go vernment In the conduct of the war, and to over throw the Government, If necessary, for the supre macy of the oreer. Its professionS and purposes are , different In: different States. It proclaims a war policy in Now York, Pennsylvania, New Jer sey, and other Eastern States, while In the West It is for peace. The order Is of Southern origin, being erected on the ruins of the Knights of the Golden Circle. Of the Southern organization Oen. Sterling Price is supreme commander. O. Q. Vallandigham, while in Richmond; was made supreme commander of the Northern section or order. A conspiracy, it Is said, was entered into between him and the rebel authorities to, divide the East from the West, and to thus aid the Southern rebel- Vallandigham's timo In Canada, It Is said, was principally spent in furthering this scheme. He had a conference with some of the leading spirit s in the North, and soon after his arrival in Canada arranged for the establlshMent of an order through• out the loyal States. The names of all who visited him at the Clifton Rouse are known to the Government. Among them the names of. Win. 13. Reed, of Philadelphia; Pendleton Pugh, of Ohio ; Keybben, of St. Louis ; Sterry and Merrick, of Chicago, are published. The results of the conference are also known to the Government. About the Ist of January, Vallandlgham issued an address to'the au:nal:ors of the Golden Circle ln the loyal States, In which he called upon them. to renew their vows, and said the time was fast ap• preaching which will test their sincerity; that the prosecution of the war is in violation of the rights of the States, and President Lincoln is an usurper. 'A meeting of-the Itranti commanders of the dif ferent States was held in Now York - , on the Old of February, for the purpose of organizing an out break on the 10th of March—the day fixed for tho draft—but no definite plan was resolved upon. The names of these conspirators are also known. The same commanders had a general consultation with the supreme commanders at Windsor, Canada, early in ~ ' lpril: Amongst those in attendance were: ItlelYfasters, of New York ; Charles L. Hunt, St. Louis, ancl La layette Devlin, of Indiana. The programme adopted at them meetings was that Vallandlgham should represent his district of Ohio in the Democratic National Convention, and there proclaim the doctrine of the order, viz.': Pro nounce the existing administration of the Govern ment. a power usurped, which the people had a right to expel by force, if necessary. In fact, to inaugurate a rebellion in the North, and in which he was to be supported by the Order. Each grand commander was to have an armed body guard at tLe Convention for the flefence Of - vatja i i. digham. This it was thought would precipitate the people of the free States into armed conflict, and would be the signal for the members of the Order to unite against the lawful authorities, kill or capture the civil and military authorities, seize the arsenals, arms, public property , of all kinds, and proclaim the Government overthrown. _ The numerical strength of this order is Said to bo considerably over half a million. One hundred and fifty thousand of the whole are organized In New York, and are called McClellan Minute men. There is the most convincing evidence of the truthfulness of this statement. . The reason of the sudden return of Vallandiaham to Ohio was the fear of being defeated as a delegate to Chicago, and It was only by his presence that his election was se cured. The Grand Commander of Missouri I£l Merles L. lima, a nephew - of James — l-1. - Luata, and many years the Belgian consul ; and the Deputy Grand Commander, Charles E. Dunn, a city officer of St. Louis. A long list of the names of the members of the or der of the different States, together with full inform ation concerning the whole scheme, is in the hands of the authorities at Washington, and will probably betiven to the public in a short time. .., ..

HARRISBURG. [Special Correspondence of The Press.) HARRISBURG, Slily 2S, 1864 The unmistakable evidence of a rebel invasion, on a scale of startling magnitude. can no longer be re sisted. The signs, in the absence of official con tradiction, increasing daily, give coloring to the idea that terrible realities aro about to be inaugu rated in Diaryland or Pennsylvania. ' The Go vernment may, for its own purpose, suppress all knowledge of the situation, but there are certain undeniable facts, coming down the Cumberland Talley, which can neither be concealed nor re strained. The trains on tte Cumberland Valley Railroad have been arriving here crowded with persons from Maryland, Virginia, and the southern portion of the State, many of whom heard the shots and saw the shells, which were• their first reliable informa tion of the sudden appearance of the enemy at Win chester and Martinsburg. These refugees, from the Immediate neighborhood of the scone of action, all agree that the rebel army was advancing, not only in force, but in a spirit of desperate rashness. There can be no doubt tbat.our army was obliged to fall back from Martinsburg on Monday by the advance of a large body of rebels, variously estimated from ten to forty thousand. If reports are true, the Go vernment has made ample preparation, which it would not be advisable to mention, to assure a be fitting reception to these ragged, hungry, mercenary plunderers. TAB NEGROES FLOCKING TO THIS CITY One of the best evidences of actual danger of in vasion, when the news is suppressed, is the move merit of the colored population contigubus to the military situation. The attachment of the negro for his home, however humble, Is a striking trait of his character, and when he leaves it, it is generally under circumstances which no other class of per sons would deem it prudent to resist. In those days of telegraphs and railroads they still rely on their means of communicating with each other by tle underground railway, which is gene• rally reliable, and keeps them posted on all matters transpiring of an important nature. In this way the negroes of the South are advised of threatening danger before it overtakes them, oy each other, and communicated to ell the colored pt potation, generally, before it. Is suspected by the whites. By this•proccss they have boon informed, through their secret means of conveying intelli gence, that the rebels are advancing; and in great numbers, from Maryland and Virginia, they are coming down the Cumberland Valley to escape being captured and consigned to slavery. It Is a sad spectacle to see these,dark-shinnoil paraono of venerable distinction, together with the women and ehrldreil, many of whom are free born, fleeing from an ungodly enemy tlust would chuckle over the opportu nity of enslaving them. , THE REPORTED raimuste OF THE REBELS Unofficial Intelligence which came by passengers arriving here at win today from Hagerstown and Ohambersburg, reports that it is generally believed nearer the front that the enemy is in strong force. Ono gentleman, who was a partial witness of the action on Sunday, and the falling back of our troops on Monday, says that it was not a question of doubt that the rebels were more than Ilfty thousand strong. MEM The only intelligence partaking of an official character, that 1 have been able to obtain, is, that our pickets were on the southern aide of the Poto mac last evening, which indicated a retreat of the enemy. Reports, however, were in circulation at Chninbersburg this morning, Which I have learned froth passengers, that they were preparing to cros3 at Williamsport and other fordable places. • SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS AT UAOERSTOWI The people of Hagerstown, In view of the threat ening state of affairs on the border, have suspended business, and are packing up their goods and ship ping them to remote places of safety. Chembersburg is again subjected to all the paroxysms of excitement, and many persons, wish ing to take time by the forelock, have begun to re move themselves and their valuables. But few persons will likely remain to enjoy the felicity of feeding, under constrained circumstances, the hun gry rebels, or assist, by forced contributions, to resuscitate the military chests of their leaders. Tnx HOSPITALS AT HAOSRSTOWN lIIIPTIRD A number of Mak and wounded soldiers, who were In the hospitals at.Hngerstown, arrived hero yesterday evening, where preparations wore made to receive them.

It is believed here that General Averill is really dead, and the repulse seems. to have been more serious than was at first supposed.

Tim DRAPT AND ItEMITITING are still engrossing a large share of public atten tion, and well they may, for every day the papers are full of reports on the subject and orders as to how this thing is to be done or that thing effected. It Is still impossible to say whether it will be ne cessary or not to have a draft; one day it seems that we are to have one, and the-next it seems more than likely that none will take place. Recruiting not too brisk. ==! The debut of Dan Bryant as an Irish comedian proved a great attraction, and Wallack's theatre has not been as crowded at any time during the summer as It was on Tuesday evening. Ho made a decided success, and elicited roars of laughter. Tho songs which were incidental to his part were rendered with great feeling and taste, and stamped him as a singer far above the average of actors in such roles. His manner is distinguished for a happy freedom from burlesque and exaggeration.- Mad. Poniskis about to start on a professional tour, and will begin at Milwaukee. Barnum's company are all off for the summer, or at-least a part of it, as the pantomime seems likely to hold the boards for some time to come, and their serviCes would prove supererogatory. Miss Bateman, the favorite young tragedienne has just returned from Europe, in company with her mother. She came in the Scotia, on Wednesday. ==! A shocking accident. occurred at No. 14 Spruce street on Tuesday evening. A young man, who was oiling the machinery, was precipitated against a shaft, and whirled around 150 times, beforo the en gine could ho stopped. Life was quite extinct, and nearly every bone in his body broken, when taken up. Re was 18 years of age. John Savage, having accepted the editorship of the New Orleans Daily Times, will leave for that city, with his family, In the course of a month. The lath Connecticut Regiment passed through this city on Tuesday en route for home. A break fast was given them, and an enthusiastic reception awaited them at New haven. The 6th Massachusetts Regiment of one-hundred days men arrived here on Wednesday on their way to Washington. There was no music in the Central Park on the lake Wednesday evening, as the moon did not rise till after midnight.

The new arrangement beginsln August. . - East Thirty-third street is being . opened through from Lexington to Fourth avenue. _Teo m.e‘oeee has become a neceifalty, and the only wonder is that It has been allowed to remain so long undone.

CiIESTI4I:IT-STRZET Til ktATILE.—" Aladdin" is at length produced, and is quite a marvel of splendor and success. The spectacle scenes are many and charming, and the acting, pantomimic, bluiesque, and melodramatic, !abetter, perhaps, than the lite rary character of the play deserves. Miss Effie ermon is a vivacious and fascinating Aladdin, and sings a number of admirable songs with expres sive taste and excellent vocal quality. Miss Price, as a Chinese princess, loses nothing of her attractiveness, and Is most uniquely and beautifully costumed. M'lle Therese is one of the moat skilful and artistic &menses that the public will have the pleasure of seeing; and, indeed, the whole produc tion of "Aladdin , ' is worthy of commendation for Its effectiveness as a spectacle. Thousands have been to see It already, and it promises a very long and abundantly successful career. COTTON IN MISSOIJSLI.—An excursion to thermal districts will surprise any one with the tact that there arc several hundred, perhaps several thou sand, acres of cotton growing in Missouri' this sea son. It is mostly in small patches of an acre or two, but some have been so much encouraged with the results of last yelled planting that they have put in eight or ten acres. Me present season has been inauspicious, owing to the lateness of the spring, but the crop looks promising now, and If the au tumnal frosts hold off until the toth of October—the usual time to look Ihr hard frosts in this latitude— t here will be many thousand pounds of this valuable staple produced In Missouri the present year. The experience of last year has sufficiently de monstrated the fact that cotton can be produced in this State, and at a pa} ing rate at good prices. Al most. ovary small country store on the south side of the Missouri has a few small bags of the pillowslip size, that seem to have usurped the place of the Legs of feathers in former years. It is not surpri sing that eniell farmers and enterprising housewives should have been stimulated to try the capabilities of the soil end climate, when a single pound of Cotton at present prices Is worth as much as five pounds or the best geese feathers throe years ago. Mort of there email parcels have been cultivated and prepared for market in the most primitive style. Instead of a cotton gin Lode the most tedious ;art of the work of preparing the cotton for market, it has been seeded in the manner described by that Ethiopian lyric commencing : "Miss tell'd me to nick some cotton, I te.t'd Anse the !mean be rearm; filch ho. Ana BO 'Rug." etc. To dispense with the tedious process of hand picking., many are improvising a simple cotton-gin that atm be run by hand or horse power, whilst at other points regular ginsitave been erected to do the work tor a neighborbbOil So it is, Xing Cotton's dominions are no longer confined to the States bordoring upon the Gulf, but will embrace a largo territory hitherto sunposod Yo be incapable of giving any support to the Itooeultht monaroh.—St. Louis Republican, TIOV AT ATLANTIC, ClTY.—Messrs.
