The Thttatened inValign,
Whether it grows out of the almost univer
sal scare which seems to have overtaken our
people, or from the want of a proper organiza
tion by the heads of departments, we are left
without any reliable information in reference
to the invading forces apparently so near to
us. The rumor of one hour, always said to
have come from a. reliable source., is almost
sure to be contradicted by the next. The mes
sages to the Governor received by telegraph
seem no more reliable than the rumors upon
the street. The Government at Washingtr
has established a censorship over messages
sent over the wires to the Associated Press,
and yet they are alike contradictory with news
received from other quarters. We are there
fore left in a sea of doubt, without either rud
der or compass. This vagueness and uncer
tainty serves largely to increase the alarm all
along our borders; every marauding band of
rebels, no matter how small in t number, is
looked upon as the advance guard or scouting
party of an immense army immediately in
their rear, and our alarmed militia and citi
zens fly in terror, not from the realities they
see, but from the. phantom army their imagina
tions picture in the dark beyond." in some
quarters this fear has become a regular panic,
and will no doubt produce a much greater loss
to the border counties and the State thin the
damage we shall sustain at the hands of the
rebels. If, instead of establishing a Gentler.
ship over the prate, the Governments, National
and State, would organize a reliable line of
scouts, and furnish the press with an accurate
statement of the condition of affairs to lay
before the people, all this trouble and anxiety
would be avoided, and, knowing the direction
front which they were menaced and the extent
of the danger, they would prepare manfully to
meetit. Mankind are sit constituted that they can
readily nerve themselves to meet real and pre
sent dangers, while they may be entirely un
nerved by a vaguely portentous future. -
FRIDAY, June 26.-2 p. m.—Yesterday eve
ning at 8 o'clock we were assured by telegraph
from Carlisle that there were no rebels in that
vicinity, nor had there been more than six or
eight hundred seen at a time at any one place,
this side of the borough of Chambersburg,
and yet at 10 o'clock the same evening we had
a message from Washington that three grand
divisions of Lee's army were in Maryland and
Pennsylvania, marching rapidly towards Har
risburg and probably Philadelphia- This
morning the operator at Carlisle informed us
that Gen. Knipe had fallen back with his forces
five miles this side of Carlisle, and the rebels
in large force were about taking possession of
town. This afternoon he has mustered courage
enough to return to Carlisle, and now informs
us that there are no enemies in Carlisle nor
have they been nearer than seven miles, and
then only in small force.
In this state of things we are left only to
conjecture, and theories are as wild and various
as the rumors. Seventeen regiments have been
sent to our aid from New York, four or five
from YloNs , Jersey, and some twenty or thirty
thousand of our State militia have been, Ca
rolled. These forces have been divided. and
sent to various parts of the State to protect our
railroads and valleys penetrating into the inte
xior, while but a comparatively small force has
been sent down the Cumberland valley, from
which direction the enemy are said to be ad
, vancing From these facts we may naturally
conclude that the hypothesis upon 'which our
State authorities and the Commander of this
department is acting, is that the rebels intend
to divide into small bands, and endeavor to cut
our railroads, burn our bridges, destroy pub
lic property, &e., and not to advance upon
liarrisbarg."
The general government seems to %ID acting
upon the hypothesis that Lee intends to strike
at Washington, and- are apparently concen
trating their forces in that vicinity. Let us
hope thatll these plans are wise, and that
the result will be glorious to our arms and to
oar cause. A few days must certainly bring
about important events .

Gen. W. P. Smith commands the volunteers
on the west bank of the Susquehanna, opposite
the city. The fortifications to protect the
city are progressing, so that should the enemy
presume to come - le will meet with a severe
cheek.
Col. Pierce has been assigned to the com
mand of the troops at Bloody Run ; General
Milroy having been relieved.
Rumors say that the enemy's advance proceed
with very great caution.
Our pickets still extended a few miles above
Carlisle yesterday, and we were in communica
tion by telegraph with that pit:tee.
The incessant rain will again raise the wa
ters in the Susquehanna, and no force van ford
it even if we had no defences here. The citi
zens are enrolling themselves into companies,
and any attack will meet with a stubborn re
sistance.
It is generally understood that the , Clovernor
will issue a proclamstion calling out 50,000.
men to serve as militia.
3 o'cLocn, P. M.—A. dispatch just received
from Carlisle states that the rebels, 5,000
strong, are between a point seven miles beyond
that place and Shippensburg.
The operator at Gettysburg states that the
rebels have arrived there, supposed to be 10,000
strong—and there stopped, since which time
hhas not been heard from.
9 o'cLocu. P. M.—Mr. Nichols and David
Maeyer, Esq., of this place, returned from
Carlisle at eight o'clock to-night, having left
that place at four o'clock in the afternoon.
They state that there were no rebel pickets
within aft miles of Carlisle, sad that, from
the best information they could obtain, none
had been there at all.
The State Democratic Nominations.
It is gratifying to witness the unanimity and
enthubialut with which the nominations of
George W. Woodward for Governor, and Wal
ter H. Lowrie for Judge of the Supreme Court,
are hailed throughout the Commonwealth.—
Since the Convention of the 17th people breath
freer—hope sits upon every patriot's counte
mince, joy beams in the eye of every genuine
lover of his country.
It is not only life-long Democrats who are
gratified. Thousands of men who have never
voted the Democratic ticket, but who now see
clearly that nothing but a change of rulers—a
substitution oftatesmen . itn d-patriots for dem a.
gognes and fanatics—can save the country, are
with us heart and soul, Will act with us through
the campaign, vote with us at the election, re-
Nice with us over the victory we shall achieve,
and hereafter help us keep the nation and the
Stitt from the political control of men who
invariably prove themselves incompetefit to
govern.
Let us rejoice, for victory already dawns,
and salvation is near !
Hon. Hiester Clymer.
many of our D em ocratic contemporaries are
paying high and well deserved compliments to
Hon. Hiester Clymer for his manly and noble
conduct after his failure to obtain the nomina
tion for Governor. We would cheerfully copy
these merited eulogiums if it were necessary
to Mr, Cly mer's fair fame or could at this time
snbserve any good purpose. Mr. Cr, we are
certain, is satisfied with his own conduct both
before and after the nomination. No man, we
think, can say that he deviated for a moment
front the line of strictly honorable conduct—
that he committed a single act that did not
become an honest man and a gentleman, or that
he made a single promise of official favor, in
case of success, to secure support. This is
enough, Dlr. Clymer needs no other, nor
could he have a greater eulogy.
Northampton County Democrat.
We are glad to see, in the last number of this
sound Democratic paper, the announcement
that the subscription list is steadily and ra
pidly increasing_ We hope the stream of pa
,tronage may continue, and we trust further
that all other good. Democratic papers through
out the State will be liberally sustained. There
is but little, if any, profit on subscription now,
since the rise on the price of paper, and Demo
crats should throw as much patronage of every
description in favor of the party press as they
can_ Sustain the pree3 well where it is deser
ving of palronag3, and there will be a good
return for the outlay.
. AF ABOLVION GENERAL is not a rare bird in
the sense of "rasa avis," but he is a rare bird
in the sense of something choicely and trans
cendently ludicrous. He is famous on proclama
tions, but he is slow at fight. Ile is without a
peer at pillaging hen roosts or burnin g unpro
tected houses, or singing psalms to darkeys
dressed in uniform, but he is dull at an attack,
swift on a retreat, and has a marvellous faculty
of lending 'involuntarily to the enemy guns,
caissons and army stores. Be addresses Jeff.
Davis at Beaufort, but he does not bother
Beauregard, who is his next door neighbor.—
He plunders in Virginia, yet runs at Winches
ter. He scampers over the border to steal ;
he sneaks up rivers to burn; he is a Jim Lone,
or a Montgomery, or a• Carl Schurz, or el Mil
roy. He is, we say, an Alexander in talk, or
a Johnathan Wild at pilfering. A very Eclipse
on the "advance backward." Alas Milroy
Alas D'Utassey.—

that deseriers from Wilmington report two
rebel iron dads, with five Indies of plating on .
eighteen inches of mooed, and mounting heavy
guns, as being ready to make a raid on the
blockading squadron. They are said to be
about the size of the first Merrimac, lie very
deep in the water, and are only able to make
three or four miles an hour.
The city of Wilmington is very strongly for
tified, and a. small force can hold it against
great odds. The officers there are in favor of
a bitter prosecution of the war, while the men,
who desire the capture of the city by the "Yan
kees," entertain nothing but mutinous feelings
for the rebel confederacy.
In the vicinity of Wilmington, and near the
borders of South Carolina, a large number of
deserters and conscripts are entrenched, and
successfully resisting the rebel authority, hav
ing had three engagements already.
The rebel Secretary of War has ordered all
the North Carolina troop? into other States for
immediate service, on account of the growing
dissatisfaction among them. Georgia and
South Carolina troops are to take their places
in the State of North Carolina.
Tife women and children on Cape Hatteras

TUE RAID INTO PENNSYLVANIA.
A Harrisburg speoial to the Prom of yester
lay contains the following :
The rebels have captured nearly four thou
sand horses during the present raid, and it is
said that they are mounting the men of such
infantry regiments as have already been greatly
reduced by losses in the service.
Governor Curtin received a telegram from
the operator at fil'Connellebarg, dated a a. in.,
this morning, stating that he had left his sta
tion, and that the rebels under General Jones
had entered the town, with cavalry and artil
lery, and, after a severe skirmish with some of
the troops under General Milroy, drove them
out of the place and occupied it. Gen. Milroy
is preparing to drive the rebels out of the town
in turn, (?) and a battle may be expected there
at any time. Our force in the vicinity is not
very strong, but comprises some of the best
troops in th 4 service.
I learn by dho evening trein that
.the ex

REPORTS CONTRADICTED
ruILAVULtitIA, Jane 26-2 A. x --The
Washington Star says:
There is nothing known to justify the cur
rent story that Lee has 100,000 men at Win
chester. There is no probability in the ac
count saying that a large force of rebels was
yesterday evening moving from the direction
of Boonsboro' to Frederick. If true, however,
it simply proves that Lee proposes to steal in
as many directions as possible, and over as
great an extent of territory as possible, in the
shortest possible time; felts)le cannot be swoop
ing west to Pittsburg wit large armies direct
ed against, each,
‘ while he also tarries at Win
cliester with 100.000 men, such being the tenor
of the various accounts coming to Washington
since our last issue, in truth, up to 2 p. m. to
day. We have been able to learn nothingjus
tifying the Change of impression. We lately
published that Lee's main object in coming
north was to attack Washington if he can
induce Hooker to scatter his army, and that
he is now trying to accomplish that object
while, at the same time, supplying his forces
from Maryland and Pennsylvania with abso
lutely necessary things, of which the rebel
territory within his reach is utterly exhaust
ed.

SIEGE OF VICKSBURGITHIV RAIN OF HOT SHOT
BEGUN
The following is a special dispatch to the
New York World :
WASHINGTON, June 25.—From a private let
ter received here yesterday, dated " Before
Vickeburg,`,Tnne 14, ' Gen. Grant was all right
and had - plenty of men. A large force of men
were on transports, ready to be landed at any
point of need, and the army was in excellent
spirits.
The letter states that Grant had commenced
to throw hot shot into the devoted city.
The writer speaks in high terms of the gal
lantry of our troops, and says the *city must
soon surrender or be destroyed.
CINOINNATI4 June 25.—A gentleman direct
from the army besieging Vioksbthg furnishes
us with most cheering advices. Our army is
sufficient to take the place. General Grant's
position as against Gen. Johnston, is as strong
as that of Gen. Pemberton against Gen. Grant.
The indications multiply that the rebel army
in Vicksburg must shortly surrender. The
fire upon the city is very heavy and destruc
tive. The rebel reply to our fire is not heavy,
and is ineffectual.
Gen. Johnston is believed to be mainly em
ployed in preparati6ns to defend the interior
of Mississippi after the fall of Vicksburg.
The rebel spirit of resistance in the South
west is burning , iteelf out in harrassing but
inconclusive warfare along the river.
•Reinforcements under Generals Herron,
Parke, Washburne, Smith end others, had
reached Vicksburg, and were taking their po
'sitions. • The rebels are„lieliefred to have con
, B truoted oevizmorior -line_ of defences, and are
preparing twabaritlein their tomer works.
Gen. M'Clernand is superseded by Gen. Ord,
and is ordered to Illinois, and thence to report
to the War Department. Tardiness in obeying
orders, disobedience, and assuming credit for
the campaign in Mississippi, to the disparage
ment of other officers, are the reasons assign
'ed for his supersedure.
rttATUNIt PARTICULARS OF AFFAIRS AT TICKS
. BURG.
Meatrats, June 22, via CAIRO, June 23.
The Silver Mon, from Young's Point on Sat
urday; the 19th, arrived at this•city this morn
ing.. She brings nothing exciting from Vicks
burg. The siege is still progressiug. Grant
is perfectly secure.
Heavy batteries are being placed in position
to•rake the enemy's works. .The rebels still
hold out in the hope that Johnson will come
to their assistance with a sufficient force to
raise the siege. These hopes are certainly
delusive. Johnson's numbers are not suf
ficiently strong to attack, nor can the rebels
reinforce him soon enough for him to play
any other than a secondary part.
Parties arriving in this city from the South
represent the impossibility of a rapid• massing
of the rebel troops in the vicinity of Vicks
burg. A gentleman, well known throughout
the United States, who left Johnson's head
quarters on Saturday, the 12th inst., states
that Johnson is receiving reinforcements very
slowly, owing to tie inadequate means of
transportation. The difficulty seems to lie in
the fact that the railroads connecting east and
west are of a different grade, and consequently
the rolling stock cannot be traveferred. This
very much retards their movehietita.
A CARDINAL Dory which we all owe to our
country. that of standing, by it during a great
civil war, is not weakened by the errors of
those who are temporarily entrusted with
power. This is a vital trutliprhich cannot be
too often announced, or oblifirred. The in
cumbents of office are transient, the nation is
forever. It is then important for us, under
any provocation of whatever magnitude, to do
or suffer aught which will compromit the safety
of the nation. The great daiagcr to which po
litical excesses exposes natitltts is that in mo
ments of high partisan excitement men will,
from a spirit of resentment and retaliation,
urge or consent to measures fatal to law, and
to the integrity of the nation. Let us carefully
beware of it.
On, the other hand, it is a duty equally hn
perative on the part of the agents of the peo
ple not to to coerce or stifle the free expression
of the popular thought. If the people are to
consider the safely of their land, in spite of
the errors and faults of their public authori
ties, they are at least entitled to the ordinary
immunities of free citizens,
The duties are indeed reciprocal. Let then
free speech, person and press, in pursuance
of law, be maintained , and with these and the
ballot, let safe redress be sought for all short
comings of the incumbents of government.—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Times professes an anxiety to know why
it, is that, whenever the country is in trouble,
our armies repulsed, our commander out-gen
erald, there should be such a spontaneous and
immediate demand for Gen. hl'Clellan. There
is but one answer to the- question. The sol
diers of the Army of the Potomac utter it.—
Their letters home breathe it. fihe returning
volunteers thunder it. The' aching heart of
the country utters the Same voice, but it is as
hopeless as it is Calmest. Were the incompe
tency of those in power. ten fold what it is, and
the ruin of the hopes of all loyal men still
more imminent than it ,seems, no man who
measures accurately the *alike of thin
istrntion will for a moment expect it to do that
one thing which seems to-day our only hope.
But Gen. M'Clellan is not idle. His best ener

Only feet which mtisishee our satisfaction
