THE SiTUATION.
The tumors in relation to the advance of the
rebels in the Cumberland Valley are so con
flicting that we deem them unnecessary to re
late. A rumor was spread about ten o'clock
that the rebels bad or were crossing three miles
below Middletown, but later in the day it wag
discovered that some of the citizens on the.
other side of the river, were moving themselves
and their effects to a place of slfety on this side
of the river.
A gentleman divot from Frederick, Md.,
who managed to get through Ehe rebel lines,
informs us positively that an advance. of Hook
er's army twenty-five thousand strong was at
Frederick on the day he left and that a con
tinuous column of soldiers were necessarily
slowly advancing. We place entire confidence
in this slatement ; it agrees with previous in
formation received as contraband here.
Onr advance pickets were two miles further
towards Carlisle this morning at eleven o'clock,
notwithstanding the various rumors afloat to
the contrary. A collision must undoubtedly
take place very-soon, and the rebals will be be
;
tween two fires. A strong army here.in 'front,
and well entrenched, with the Army of the
Potomac in their rear, the result cannot be
doubted.
At the tap of the court house bell, all men
able to bear arms within the city are required
to assemble atthebridgc,imil place themselves
under the command of segue of the nneneiciuS
companies organized
We Lave full confidence In the management
of affairs and bravery of General Couch, but we
have rumors that some men acting as officers,
are using entirely too much spirituous liquors.
This cannot be tolerated in the present crisis.
They should be cashiered at once, and we have.
taken proper means to ascertain the facts. If we
find them well founded, we shall expose the
parties and demand their immediate removal.
In the mean time we enjoin all soldiers and
citizens to disbelieve the various stories circu
lated; they may have their origin among the
copperheads,who have done everything thus-far
to retard military operations. The General Com
manding, W. F. Smith, has the reputation of
being a brave and cautious officer.
LATER
Telegrams received here - 14 , tho authorities,
give information up to lust Saturday. The
estimated number of rebel troops that have
passed through Chambersburg, eastward, was
37,000, with 104 field pieces.
It is ascertained that General Lee, with his
staff officers were in Chambersburg last Satur
day.
Col. Coppee has resigned or has been re
moved, and Wayne lii'Veigb, Esq., placed in
his position. Mr 11.'Veigh is a courteous and
polite gentleman, himself a newspaper man,
and we have no doubt will give the presslifull
report of the state of affairs. Heretofore we
have been compelled to play , eavesdropper and
resort to all sorts of means to obtain news to
lay before oar readers. We anticipate, and
have a right to expect better treatment from
Mr. lei' Veigh.
The citizens of Middletown are op in arms,
in defence of their, town, and will give the
rebels a fight if they should attempt to cross at
that point. A. number of gentlemen 1% ere is

The Resole, or Northern SyMpnthy with
Southern Traitors
There 13 no way in which the folly and mad
tat 8.3 of Northern Copperheadiem—a term not
inappropriately applied to the active sympa
thizers with the rebels, for their venom is now
being felt—'s more clearly shown than 1 , 3 - the
desperate attempts now making to invado. the
North, and traaarer the war into the Free
States. Maryland, Pennsylvania and Indiana
have suffered, and the two former States are still
suffering, from the ruthless acts of the invaders,
while from tie West we are informed that in
roads into Kentucky and the Northwest may
be expected all through the summer. The in
famously unpatriotic conduct of Northern trai
tors is the spur which urges on the rebels to
these leroads,and if any man needs proof of the
blackness of their designs, he can ece it in the
attempt now so desperately making to transfer
the war to the North, and to give over our
fields and firesides to ruin and desolation at the
hands of the invader.
The loyal people of the North and the Na
tional and Sate Governments owe it to them
selves and the sacred cause of the Union to use
such measures as will put down Northern trea

fallen us. So long as the rebels can be infatu
ated with the idea that they have only to
come North to gain friends, so long will the
war continue. While we use every effort to
vanquish them in the field, we must also make
harmless their despicable allies in the, North
who care neither for State rights or State duties,
for national rights or national duties. The
power of the law against treason has never
yet been invoked in all its majesty in the loyal
States, and we hope that the present crisis will
bring its ministers to a realizing sense of their
stern duty to punish all who furnish such aid
and comfort to the enemy,as the active followers
of Yallandingham are doing wherever they ban
find a foothold.
What. Horne Guards or Dlilitia Can Do
The fate of the rebel guerillas who invaded
Indiana last week, is a proof of what a f...w
resolute militia men,under a competent leader,
can do. The rebels went through the country
pillaging and burning, but the Mitchell Home
Guard turned out and encountered them, and
though worsted, compelled the rebels to retreat
to the Ohio. Another interparty of mounted
militia, under Major Crawford, an experienced
soldier, attacked them again at the fording
place, where they expeeted, and had made ar
rangements for a boat to cross over and take
them off, but which, in consequence of their
sudden retreat, had not yet arrived. The Home
Guard then procured a steamer and mounted a
guard upon it, with which they attacked the
rebels from the water as well as on land, and
the entire force was either killed, drowntd or
captured. Now if the Indiana militia can
make a resc lute effort to bring their invaders ,
to an end like this, what is to prevent the
three hundred thousand able-bodied militia of
Pennsylvania from attacking and destroying
Ewell's band, of marauders, now marching
"towards-Harrisburg_ It, only needs resolution
and some competent officers, to organize the
force to °apt - tare cr — deidroy the whole of this
band. Gen. Franklin, or some other experi:
enced officer, should be put in comrqand of the
militia, and with Gen. Couch in command of
the volunteers, the two would soon organize a
defence which may prove fatal to Ewell.
Let us Profit by the Rebuke!
Generally when our sister State of New
York, through her journals, has found fault
with Pennsylvania, the complaint has been
unjust, or founded upen a misapprehension.
But we are pained to be compelled to 'admit
that the following remarks of the New York
Times are only too true, and the more humilia
ting because true. Who would have thought
a year ago that a New York journal could thus
truthfully rebuke patriotic Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania who has heretofore bees in the
lead in furnishing •gallant men to swell the
armies of the Union ! Pennsylvania who now
allows a corps of rebels to overrun and devas
tate her own soil, with men enough left at
home to annihilate them ! Let us profit by .
this rebuke. It is uttered in a friendly spirit—
more in sorrow than in derision. It is not too
' late for Pennsylvania—for Dauphin county—
to wipe out the impending disgrace. • Let not
such a dark page disfigure the bright record
the Keystone has already made in the history
of the war for the Union:
A WORD D 3 PIINNSTLVANIA. —The State of
Pennsylvania has a population of Three mil
lions. She has something like a hundred thou
sand soldiers in the armies of the Union. She
is believed to be threatened by a rebel force
estimated at ninety thousand strone, It is,
undoubtedly, very desirable that the army of
Gen. Hooker should Rave her from the danger
of rebel invasion. But it is impossible at pre
sent, it seems, to prevent invasion altogether,
though it does not seem unlikely that Pennsyl
vania may, for a time, be made the battle field
for contending armies.
Under
. these circumstances, and to prevent
the bloody horrors that threaten the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, one would imagine
that her people would rush to arms en masse to
drive the invaders fro.m her soil before they ob:
tain a foothold upon it. Beside the large and
splendid force she has contributed to the Na:
tional army, she ought still to be able to retie
out of her population at least two hundred
thousand fighting men. One out of ten in the
population is certainly not too large a draft to
make from her resources in case of actual inva
don. If there were two hundred thousand
armed men on the soil of Pennsylvania await
ing the advent of Lee's army, we venture to
ry that that rebel would at once have given up
the idea of capturing the State Capital, or
quartering his army in the State.
• It is now a fortnight since the rchels bcga i n•
their operations in Pennsylvania. There was
but a small invading force at first, it is true,.
biat the Pennsylvanians, like ourselves, belie*
there was a very large one, and might hive
been expected to act accordingly. Butwhettihr
the first force was large or stein, it gave the
State a sufficient warning of what' was kir
might be coming. It showed that invasion was
possible, and with the !Avis before them and
us, wither" they nor we had Shy right to act
otherwise than if it were:sere.
We are amazed at the apathy that seems Ao
prevail among the people of Pennsylvania:—.
Panic and apathy, apathy and pare, are the'
burden of the successive telegrams and lettirii
tb4 reach us. At the first appearance of -Jen T .
kips; the, whole State seems to have been
thrown on its - back—we are glad:it did not 'Oat
on its belly. When he disappeared, they
rubbed their eyes and fell again into uncorcerri.
When he reappeared they were °use more
struck. And now that they have had time to
gather up tb,ir wits and brace them-elves for
work, we see those of them who c Irma be said
to be altogether apathetic, engaged in paltry
arguments as to whether their term of service
shall be a week or two, or a mouth or two,
more or less.
Ts e fortnight they have already last has been
invaluable to the enemy. It should have
brought at least a hundred thousand armed
Pennsylvanians to Harrisburg. Within four
days atter New York beard the news of the in
vasion, this State had sent nineteen regiments
to help our northern s'ster—fifteen of which
were from this city. We have not beard of
fifteen regimen's being sent from Philadelphia,
nor half of fifteen, nor five. We doubt if all
Pennsylvania has yet fifteen regiments in the
field. We do not say this invidiously. This
is no time for invidious feelings or remarks.
The metropolis will send fifty regiments, be
sides the fifteen already sent to Pennsylvania.,
if she needs them. But we should like to see a
more patriotic, energetic, warlike feeling in
Pennsylvania when she is invaded. We hear
painful tales of the rebels harrassing the far
mers, plundering the towns, and galloping to
and fro at their pleasure. Yet even this does
not seem to arouse the State—nor even the
neighborhoods which the rebels are ravaging.
We even hear of old military companies dis
banding for fear they shall be called to the
field. Our Harrisburg correspondent of this
morning mentions that kirty men have enlisted
from that neighborhood, where there are
twenty-five thousand people.
What is the cause of this ? 4it fear of the
rebels, or confidence in Hooker's army, or in
? Fear of the rebels would be pusil
lanimous and disgraceful in a populous State
like Pennsylvania % It is well to have confi
dence in Hooker's army, but events have
proved that it will not do to confide entirely in
it for the defence of the North.
We call on the Pennsylvanians to wake up,
arm, organize. and help to drive the rebels at
once from their soil. Bat perhaps it is hardly
worth whilst to call, when even ,the trumpet of
invasion does not wake up the State.

WASHINGTON, June 28-10.30 P. M.
The following is from your special correspond
ent, dated Frederick, June 28:
Gen. Hooker was this morning relieved of the
iiiimmand of the Army of the Potomac. Gen.
Meade succeeds him. General Hooker was re•
lieved at his own request.
General Hooker leaves this afternoon for
Baltimore.
It is reported that the rebels are in occupa

Everything is working well with us.
HILAWASTESS, AEMY OP THE POTOMAC,
June 28, 1863.
This morning Colonel Hardie arrived hereby
special train from Washington, as a bearer of
despatches, relieving General Hooker from the
command of the Army of the Potomac, and ap
pointing Major General Meade, commanding
the Fifth corps, his successor. Soon after the
reception of the orders at headquarters, General
Hooker issued the following address :

HEADQUASTHES, ASHY OF THE PQTOMAO,
Furimucs, MD., Jane 28, 1863.
In conformity {with the orders of the War
Department, dated June 27, 1863, I relinquish
the command of the army of the Potomac. It
is transferred to Major General George G.
Meade, a brave and accomplished officer, who
nobly earned the confidence and esteem of the
army on many a well fought field. Impressed
with' the belief that my metallic es as the com
mander of the army of the Potomac is im
paired, I part from it, yet not without the deep
est emotion. The-sorrow of parting with the
comrades of so many battles is relieved by the
conviction that the courage and devotion of
this army will never cease nor fail ; that it
will yield to my successor, as it has to me, a
willing land hearty support. With the ear
best prayer that the triumph of its arms may:
bring successes worthy of it and the nation, I
bid it farewell.

This order was followed by the - subjoined ad

HEADQUAUTIRE, Am of xne Potomac,
June 28, 1863. I
By direction of the President of the United
States, I hereby assume command of the Army
of the Potomac. As a soldier, in obeying this
order, an order totally unexpected and unsoli
cited, I have no promises or pledges to make.
The country looks to this army to relieve!lt
from the devastation and disgrace of a hostile
invasion. Whatever fatigues and sacrifices ire
may be _called upon to undergo, let us have in
view constantly the magnitude of the interests
involved, and let each man determine to do his
duty, leaving to an all rontrolling Provident*
the decision of the contest. It is with just djf
filence that I relieve in the command of this
army an efficient and accomplished soldier,
whose name must ever appear conspicuousdn
1 -thb history of his achievements; but I r4lly
upon the hearty support of my companionsiin
arms to assist me in the dle;barge of the ditties
orstie important trust Whlch has been confided ;
to me. GEORGE G. MEADE:
Afajor General Commanding.
S. F. Renerow, Assistant Adj. General,
Nothing could have exceeded the surprise
occasioned by this announcement. The
first ramors of he change were scarcely credit
ed, and it was not until the appearance of the
farewell address of Gen. Hooker that the re
port was generally believed.
The reasons for the change of commanders
are yet unknown, and it is believed and indeed
indicated in the brief remarks of Gen. Hooker
to his staff, that he hid applied to Gen. Hal
leck to he relieved from the command of the
army of the Potomac. We are yet in the dark,
however, so far as the knowledge of General
Hooker's reasons for making such an applica
tion are concerned, and can only await the de
velopemcnt of events from headquarters.
The report of the change soon titended
to the several corps, and their commanders
hastened to bid . farewell to the General. By
a
three o'clock large number of officers had
assembled, and soon after General Hooker
appeared in the avenue before his tent. Some
tame was spent in social intercourse, and to the
last all formalities were dispensed with. The
parting was painful to every one, particularly
to those who had become endeared to the
General by old associations ; and not a few felt
their eyes moisten as they took the parting
hand.
General Hooker was deeply grieved. He bad
been identified with the Army of the Potomac,
he said, since its organization, and bad hoped
to continue with it to the end. It was the beat
army of the country, worthy of the confidence
of the nation, and could not fail of success in
the approaching struggle. - He spoke of his
sacce.sor as a glorious soldier, and urged all to
give him their earnest support.
At the conclusion of the leave' taking the
more prominent officers lingered at the general's
tent, and spent the evening in reviewing the
pleasant reminiscences of the p3st,and the plans
tor the future campaign.
Gen. Hooker leaves to-morrow, fOr Balti
more, to which place he has been ordered to
report. His personal staff, including General
Butterfield, will accompany him. The officers
of the several Departments at Headquarters,
will doubtless remain.
Gen. Meade wetstotally surprised by the order
appointing him Commander of the Army of
the Potomac, and deeply felt the weight of re
sponsibility resting upon him. His appoint
ment gives universal satisfaction, and all express
a determination to -extend their heartiest co
operation.
Affairs on the Upper Potomac are reported
quiet. 3he enemy has but a small force South
of Hagerstown, and our forces remain in the
undisturbed possession of South mountain.
A rebel cavalry force is reported to hail)
cro sed the Potomac at Edward's Ferry, and
captured a train of one hundred and fifty
wagons. Capt. Harry Page, assistant quarter
master at headquarters, hadi charge of the
train, and it probably a prisoner. The mail
wagon, with mails from headquarters, had
lett for Washington, but received timely infor
mation of the raid and returned.
This morning one of the wagons in the am
munition train blew up, but fortrinately with
out doing any damage to the rest of the train.
General Pleasanton has been appointed ma
jor general, and placed in command of the cav
alry forces.
General Stahel is ordered to report for duty
with another command in Pennsylvania.

Col. Spear's loss is three killed and eight

Restructlon of the Northern Central
Information was received this afternoon,
about 5 o'clock, from .Glen Rock, that the
rebels were then at Hanover Station tearing up

the enemy approached and came down to Glen
Rock, from which point he communicated these
facts.
The following information relating to the
rebel movements may be considered reliable.
The last of Longstreet's army corps passed
through Hagerstown Friday morning, going
towards Pennsylvania. It was preceded by A.P.

town on Friday.
Refugees who have reached the Army of the
Potomyc from Richmond, represent that there
was quite a panic there, only a very small guard
being left there, and many citizens were leav
ing and going to Staunton. This would seem
to indicate that the Richmond people were un
easy at the almost total abondonment of that
city by the rebel forces.
