THE SITUATION.
The movements of the troops on the Cum
berland aide of the river, today, were all
strictly confidential. No passes were issued to
citizens to cress the river, and partic
ularly, were positively forbidden to cross or in
any way to make use of information concern
ing the operations of the Army of the Susque
hanna. Of Course these facts will heighten
public expectation. It is very evident that-the
great crisis of the war is approaching, and that
now; if ever, the army needs increasing and
the Government should-hava_warext There
fore, every man who is really anxious tokncr
all about the movements of the 'Army of the
Susquehanna, can gratify himself by enlisting
in one of the' companies now forming for that
army and thus at once be placed in a position
which will not only enable him to participate
in, but behold all those movements.
We learn from persona who left Carlisle this
morning at four o'clock, that the rebels evacu
ated the town at eleven o'clock last night.
They state that the rebels were in great collator-
nation, and left in such a hurry that-they were
unable to destroy the Garrison,
They robbed the grocery store of Mr. Joseph
Halbert whilst he was actually dying, and
made themselves jolly tll his premises
whilst he was lying dead In the house.
The railroad track Is torn up from Carlisle as
far as the Poor 1101.1130, a little- overn mile. A
large force of hands fro& the Pennsylvania
railroad, went over to the other side this morn
ing, and we, prestime that the road will be frilly
repaired in a day.
The rebels left without destroying the 11. S.
barracks. This is a most singular= proceeding
They must expect to come,back, otherwise i
would have been destioyed.

The traitor, Early, in an addressto the peo
ple 'of York; Prior to his eivircuationuf that

cover the , plundering: of hislollowers by charg
ing acts of tyranny and brutality on the federal
forces, and winding up with the declaration
that he or his banditti do not war on women
or children. In one respect the address of
Early resembles a copperhead editorial or oiiaj
tion, because of its misrepreientation:'Ol'the
acts of the Government, and if Early's name
had teen omitted, his "address".could - ,not
have been distinguished from any'tif the edito

weekly laden.
The "spirit of hconaility" which characterises
the rebel government (?) of which Early boasts
in hie address, has been well exemplified by the
rebels, who have devastated the soil , of Penn
sylvania for the last week. It was exemplified,
in York county by the forced levies of money,
the tyrannical exaction of contributions of -com

How to Stop Invasion.
Almost every locality in the State, of any
note in commerce or manufacture, is making
preparation to resist and if possible repulse the
invader. We have not the least doubt, that
for this purpose there are now two hundred
thousand men in Pennsylvania, waiting for the
approach of the enemy, 4illing and anxious to
give him battle as soon as he shows his front.
this would be all very well, if the martial
spirit of the people were all that was to be
arrived at ; but when the homes, affections and
the material resources of the people of the Com
monwealth are in imminent danger, we want
something more, we must have something more
than a mere willingness to resist. We must
have the concentration of forces where the ene
my makes his own demonstration. We must
not wait for his approach over a quiet and pros
perous territory, teeming with the material of
war. We mustgo out to meet him—searching for
him w hereverhe is supposed to lark—giving him
no chance to make feints—depriving him of his
strategy by forcing him to battle, on ground
which he cannot select at advantage, but which
he rarest accept as necessity. Forinstance, the
banks of the. Schuylkill is not the Iccality to
defend Philadelphia or or any of the rich coun•
try watered by that stream. The homes of the
Lehigh valley cannot be defended on their
threshholds. If every man should conclude to
remain at home to•defend his own fireside, to
resist the progiets Of the invader through his
,r;
locality, invasion would become the.mere
ptOime of the rebels, until they had overrun
ruidconquered every foot Of - territory in the
loyal Stites. Passing from home to home, the
'firesides of loyal men would soon be polluted
by rebel hands—would soon be devoted to a
wore than are the hat-homes of the
slaves
of the South. •
What we now 'want to resist Invasion is, sol
dier's in the path of-the invader. We must not
'be eontrolledbylhe feints of the enemy. His
maleness, in a locality should, be sufficient to
.inspire our determination to march and meet,
and struggle to defeat and repel him from the
0rpt......., e1 ath. He is ht the , Cumberland
Valley, south . of — • • -• • nd by
marching thither we can only resist the one.. ~ 4
If We wait until he crosses the Susquehanna, it
may be too late to obstruct his victorious pro
greys—it will certainly be too late,to prevent
ihedestrufition of millions of dollars worth of
pkbperty and thousands of lives, which could
all be saved by, meeting L3O and his cut-throats
in the Cumberland Valley. Now is - the time

We are gratified to announce that the dal.
timorg and Ohio Railroad was repaired last
night, the bridge at Piney Bun restored, and
that the train which left this morning for
Frederick and Harper's Ferry has gone through
without interruption.
The rebel cavalry which yesterday attacked
a company of the let Delaware Cavalry at
Westminster. and drove them towards the city,
was doubtleFs the advance guard cf Fitzhugh
Lee's cavalry, lading the way across the
country through Baltimore county, to enable
them to join the main rebel army in the
vici idt yr of York and Gettysburg.
The response of the Union. Leagues of the
city last night to the call of General Schenck
for the public defence was most prompt and
enthusiastic.
We learn from a citizen of Westminster,
who
arrived here this morning, that the let Dela
ware cavalry made a moat excellent fight, and
fought with sabres and revolvers when first
attacked, until the enemy appeared In over
whelming numbers. There were no more than
sixty of the Delaware cavalry in the engage
ment, and it la feared that the greater portion
of them were killed, wounded, or captured, not
more than fifteen out of a hundred and ten in
the command having reached the city.
ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
A special dispatch from Manchester, Tenn.,
dated to-day, says our whole army is well con
centrated at that point, and advancing on Tul
lahoma as fast as the wretched condition of the
roads permits.
It Is certain that the rebels are in strong force
at Tullahoma, but the question whether they
will contest our . advance there hsstill unsettled.
