THE SITUATION
FROM THE FRONT
The news from the front reaches ua to day in
fragmentary reports, based on the observations
of these who have been as far front as the regu
lations will permit, cud on the gossip which
they have gathered while mingling with the
troops in the advance. Officers at the front
however, ate.reticent concerning the movements
and operations cf bleade'e army, and we must
therefore depend, with all duo caution againa
divulging what might uncover auy of the hn
portant positions of the Army of the Potomac,
for what we present in our "Situation" to-day,
on tha reports as !hay reach us through those
who have come from the twat
TILE POiIIION OF LEE'S ARMY
Disspkited and almost demoralized, it isatow
pretty well understood that the rebels have
taken position on the northern slope of the
South mountain, which lil3B on their hauled!
ate line of retreat to Williamsport and the Pa
tomac. Gentlemen of large experience, who
have been with and understand the movements
of the army, are fully satisfied that the intention
of Lee is to fortify on this part of the South moun
tain, and there await the falling of the Potomac
and the arrival of such reinforcements us can be
spared him from Richmond. He may possibly
take advantage of a fall of the Potomac to escape,
and of course if he ever Os back into his en
trenchments at Richmond, Lee will he able to
make another resistance in that locality to the
capture cf the rebel capital. In the meantime,
the necessity becomes more and mote apparent
that we must not in the least abate our military
vigilance or activity, and that every aid in the
power of the nation must ha extended to the
Army of the Potomac. Gen.' Meade must be
reinforced so as to enable him to drive Lce from
his fortifications, and when he has him fairly
on the banks of the Potomac, crush him on its
shores or force him into its flood to perish be
neath its surges.
—Since the above was in type,, we learn from
an extra of a Washingion paper, dated the 6th
inst., that Lee was fortifying at Newman's Cut,
on the South Mountain, to cover his retreat.
Newman's Cut is almost directly west of Get
tysburg, distant some fifteen miles.
THR ARMY OF THE 9116QUEHANNA
The Army of the Susquehanna. under Gen.
Conch, is now co-operating with General
Lee's forces, and in any general
. engagement
which may take place, will render. efficient
'mice. Troops are constantly being organized
at Camp Curtin and forwarded to swell the
force under Gan. Couch, and If. what we-hear
of. there men be true, they will disappoint the
rebel estimate of Pennsylvania Militia when
the final great blow is struck.
TRU FALL OF VICKSBURG
-The announcement of the fall of Vicksburg
at noon today, which was posted on the Tana•
GRAPH bulletin board, did not create any very
great sensation, simply because the result has
been a foregone conclusion for a month past.--
We all knew anti felt that Grant 'woad take
Vicksburg. Its reduction was a mere question
of time; so that when the news of his accom•
pliahment of the great end leached us this
inorniog, it was received gratefully, but not
enthusiastically. The fact of the fall of Vicks
burg will not be pleasing news to the rebels on
the South Mountain, seeking to escape the hosts
under Meade.
THE REBEL PONTOON MIDGE
In addition to the rebel prntoon bridge at
Williamsport, their bridge at Bern No. 4 had
been destroyed, and other preparations had
been made to prevent a crossing. Our cavalry
was also active at all toints
GEN. IMAM'S lINADQUABTERS
Gen. Meade's headquarters were at Creager,
town, Md., about fifteen miles north of Fred
erick on Sunday, and yesterday they were pi o
bably at Frederick. The whole Army of the
Potonik was in motion tigiin sederday.
REBELS EN THE MOUNTAINS
The mountains south of Harrisburg are re
ported to be filled with crowds-of fugitive
rebel deserte.s, wha are being gobbled up by
our cavalry, and who are seeking our lines as
fast as circumstances will permit.
TILE LATIST FROM IHE FRONT
.
Two o'cl,oca. P. 11 . — Porsons who came from
the front at noon to-day, bring Intelligence of
the most cheering character concerning thb
spirit, strength and position of Gen. Idende's
forces. The Amity of the Potomac is in better
dition, so far as ardor is concerned, than when it
fought and won the battle of Gettysburg, and no
doubt is' entertained by its gallant leader, of his entire
ability red only to conquer but to capture the main
body of the rebel forces.
Jona 'f. M &Lora, EN., one of the ablest and
mad popular newspOer writers in the country,
and the leading repoiter in Congtess ; was in
tne city yesterday. He is here on a tour 13f
observation, and goes hence to note the opera
tion of the Army of the Potomac.
The Effect of Treason Stamped "Upon our
own Soil.
Perhaps the very best result that could have
happened in the progress of the war, was the
invasion of Pen9sylvervia, and wit•tr that the
threatened devastation of the entire northeast.
needed this to convince the people of the
North that the leaden of the rebellion wore
fighting for something more than their "con
stitutional rights." As long as the traitors were
confined to their own soil to wage their battles
against the Government, they held a sort of
position in which they commanded thmeympa
thy of some good but ignorant men, and fought
as if they really were contending fora principle
of right. But when Lee crossed the Potomac,
he and his ragged followers passed the Rubicon,
and from the moment the feet of the slave dri
ver touched free soil, his fate was sealed.
Hereafter the Democratic twaddle concerning
the constitutional rights of the South will be
I rejected. The campaign of Pennsylvania has
unveiled the true scheme of the invader. His
own confession, that ho came with fire and
sword to devastate and destroy the property
and lives of the people of the North, fixes the
standard of Eouthern "constitutional rights,"
and presents the olj dC ts of the rebellion in their
true aspect. Lee and his satellites came for
plunder, rapine and murder. One of the mon
streus promises made to the rebel army was,
that when Pennsylvania was fully invested and
seemed, her coal mines were to be fired and in the
blaze of these the business and even the soil of one of
the) richest portions of the State were to be consumed.
The conception of such a plan, to write noth
ing concerning its being put into practical
operation, was worthy the hearts of men bat
tling to overthrow a free and prosperous gov
ernment, that they might secure the privilege
of, bartering in the flesh of an inferior and an
abject rice. Those who have been sympathiz
ing with the traitors may possibly derive com
fort from the contemplation of this Satanic
scheme.
—Having had a practical taste of what the
slaveholders' war means, the people of Pennsyl
vania, and particularly those of the district in
vaded, will be able hereafter to treat the rebel
lion as it deserves. Pennsylvania was able to
see for holaelt of what a rebel army consists.
Out people could liear - Troia. is:...iiesuhe in
vader, what the rebellion Meant—why the to
ble of tht South were armed, and, by whom
they are led on to invade and desolate t •e
North: A. miserable clique of politicians con
spiring solely to advance their own interests.
The aristocracy of the South, resting their
claims to superior social and personal excellence
on the privilege which they enjoy of bartering
in human flesh, backing up these politicians,
that they may secure the interests of slavery by
overturning the institution of freedom. Joined
to these are the armies in the field, a specimen
of which we had in the.rabble which Meal is
now driving back into the flood of the poto
mac. These are the interests acd the elements
of rebellion. Our people have had a fair chance
to see and feel all the effects of this: They
cannot hereafter be misled on the subject. They
have had explained to them, with practical
vividnzes, why the . Democratic politicians in
the north sympathize with the schemes of the
leaders in this revolt. And thus the.
first called, stands forth exposed,a base Plan to
destroy.the purest and holimt form of free
government ever-devised by humor minds.
What iIIVIUIIOII has Taught P,erkn-
sylvania
Invasion has taught the people of Penneylva ,
.nia many salutirY lessons, and if they profit by
the incnlcation,what they have lost in material
wealth will not be eccounted a serious injury.
We have learned, in less than twenty days,
that we have a foe within as well as a foe
without the State. We do not mean an armed
rebel foe, when we, refer to the enemy within
our borders. Such a foe Is honorable in all
respects, in comparison with the meam wretches
to whom we allude—the secret sympathisers
with treason,who unveiled themselves when the
rebel armies advanced across our borders, who
conducted the worst of these forces through the
quiet and fruitful Cumberland Talley, and who
acted as detectives for the rebel chrefs in point
ing out the concealed property of Union men.
All this we have learned, but important as
this knowledge is, we have learned other les
sons, from which we trust the people of Penn
sylvania will not fail to be profited. We have
been taught that we must take care of ourselves, or be
taken care of by others at the expense of our honor as
a people, and our reputation as a sovereign State.—
Now that the great danger is past, and that
Pennsylvania has rallied under her State flag
forty thousand men, it ie not impolitic to admit
that when the dread reality of invasion first
startled our eeople, we were unprepared
to meet -a foe on our soil. We were un
prepared to do this, simply because our entire
military enterprise had been monopolized by
the National Government, while measured
which bad been proposed to secure a local mill.:
tary organization for State purposes, had been
defeated with partisan malignity by the majo
rity in power in the last Legislative House.—
. .
If the 'leaders of that majority ,
had understood
at that time that the rebels intended to invad'e
Pennsylvania at some future period, and. if
theee leaders had intended to play into the
hands of the rebels, they could not have more
effectually done so than they did when they op
posed the suggestions of Gov. Curtin for the
re-organization of the State militia. Had - that
re-organization been effected when It was pro
posed by Gov. Curtin—had the bill which was
passed for that purpose bps Republican Senate
been adopted by a Democratic House, the bat-
I tles-rildch have already-deluged Pennsylvania
with blood would have never been fpught, tie'
pillage which has impoverished.the Cumberland
Talley, would never have taken place: The les
son thuslearned will induce Penneylvania to
maintain a militia force adequate to the defence
of her border. It will prompt our-people to or
ganise on a secure military &is's. It Will teach
theemasae s no longer to rely on the dernagognes
who have deceived them co often, merelrthat
they might parader ttiparty'while theeCotemon-
Wealth was in daily danger:of : invasion and'ls
trro,.. Tabs invasion has inculcated many salu: 1
triterlessons. Let us profit by the teaching,
and learn to protect ourselves hereafter. I
What the Rebels Propose to do with
Our Coal Mines.
[Fron t!,^ .I.';clonond TVII:g, July '2 1
If it be true that the confederate lotus ULCU
py. Harrisburg, the attention of the command
generaling will no doubt be directed to the
coal field, which lie within forty or fifty miles
of that city. His first aim will be to cut all
the railroad connections, and thus put a mop to
the transportation of fuel. His next will be
to destroy the most costly and not easily
replaced machinery of the pits. Whether
be would stop at this is questionable.
He' might set fire to the pits, withdraw
the forces sent out on this special
duty, and leave the heart of Pennsylvania on
fire, never to be quenched until a river is turn
ed into the , pits, or the vast supply of coal is
reduced to ashes. The anthacite coal is found
in large quantities in no other part of the world
but Pennsylvania. Enormous quantities are
used in the United States Navy, the countless'
workshops and manufactories of the North, in
the river boats, and even upon locomotives. It
cannot well be replaced by any other fuel. The
bituminous coal which is found near Pittsburg
would not answer the purpose, even if it would
bear the cost of transportation. Our troops
already hold the railroads - and canals leading
from the Cumberland coal fields. All that is
needed is to seize the anthracite fields, destroy
the roads and the machinery of the pits, set fire
to the mines and leave them: Northern indus-
try will thus be paralyzed at a single blow.
Three views may have induced General Lee
to move upon Harrisburg. We doubt whether
he would fire the mines, but the destruction of
the Mauch Chunk railroads and pit implements
would be as legitimate as blowing up tunnels
and aqueducts or barniog bridges. Of one
thing we may be sure, that whatever is beat to,
be done will be doqe by General Lee, audit' he
thinks fit to destroy the Pennsylvania mines
they will certainly be destroyed. Should he
leave them untouched it will be for the best
lof reasons. But it is impossible not to indulge
the hope that,he will avail himself of the tre
mendous power which the possession of the
coal fields„ even temporarily, would confer.

Ihe following facts have been abtained
from a source which guarantees their
„correct
ness,,and the statement may be relied upon as
strictly true.
On Saturday, the 4th inst.. the rebel gun
boat DragQh came down the James river with a
flag of truce. Acting Rear Admiral Lee sent
up an officer to meet it, when it was ascertain
ed that, Alexander 11. Stephens and Commis
sioner Ould were, on board. They represented
that they were the bearers of an imirortant
letter from . Jefferson Davis, Commander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navy of . the Confede
rate. States, to Abraham Lincoln, Corn
mander-in- Chief of the Army and Navy
of the United States, and requested permission
to proceed to Washington in the Dragokanil
present the letter to President Lincoln its per
son. They declined to reveal anything farther
lin relation to their,irdesion than is above stated.
Admiral Lee, „ of , course, . hid no .authitrity to
grant their reqqess, and they toner tad. to wait
until he could communicate with * Wisehington
and receive instructions in regard to the . mat
ter, Be accordingly telegtaphed the facts and

employment of -negro troops, &e.
No decision way arriYed at, anti the Cabinet
meeting was accordingly adjourned until to

ascertain if possible the Object-4g the:illusion..
In the meantime, however, the tug'contain
