No passes are given to civilians across the river, and all we know is that the invading host is in full and rapid re treat. No doubt a battle will be fought on the border, perhaps in the vicinity of Hagerstown, between the forces of General Meade, who are advancing in this direction, and the retreating army under General Ewell. We can only hope that. the issue will be in our favor, and that we may be able in a day or two to record a glori ous victory. • We trust the rumor of General Meek'llarea appointment nay be true, but place no confi dence in it. The New York World has the following :-- " There is every reason for believing perhaps before the close of this week, at a point near Hagerstown, in Maryland. Lee has suddenly commenced to concentrate his army, and as a consequence Harrisburg and the line of the suoquehanna are no longer menaced by the Confederate forms, General Meadeff ately is in motion, and in such force that all the minor movements of the enemy are checked until the grand trial of strength takes place. Everything is reported quiet from Washington around to Harrisburg, which simply Beane thst the storm is about to break_ its force upon one single point of the whole line. The prompt ness of General Meade to compel this change in the enemy's plans is certainly a good sign. Let us hope he will he as successfulin fighting a battle as in forcing one. "On Sunday last General Dix was within twenty miles of Richmond with a large army, and a Union cavalry force bad reconnoitered to within nine miles of the Confederate capi tal. This is a daring movement, and there seems to be a hundred chances to one against its success. Even if Richmond should be taken, it would help us nothing if we lost Meade's army or Washitigtefi. But if General Dix planned the expedition, and is allowed to carry it out, we have every confidence that his ability and prudence will make it yield some good result." An Example so be Followed. The actions rather than the words of men speak for them. The Abolition cowards who fled from the Cumberland Valley on the ap proach of the Confederate army, and- came to Harrisburg, venting their spleen upon braver men than themselves—Copperheads as they call them—who remained at home, ready to defend themselves and their State, may take a lesson from the following, which we find in the Philadelphia Inquirer, (an administration pa per,) of the 30th : Hon. Charles J. Biddle, it appears by the following letter from Judge Woollward, has resigned the appointment of Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, ** in or der to give, as a private soldier, or in any sphere that may be open to him, his whole exertions for the defense of one invaded Com monwealth." We take pleasure in giving prompt recognition to this patriotic course of Col. Biddle, and we invite public attention to it as an example worthy to be followed. The services of an experienced and brave soldier, se Col. Biddle proved himself to be, both in this war and in that against Mexico, will be of grea t value to the State in this season of un precedented Twil it is, perhaps, necessary for the information of those who pay butt little attention to party affairs in these momentous times, to explain that the reason why Judge Woodward is writ ten to on the subject, is that he is the Demo cratic candidate for Governor, and, therefore, the person who will be most affected by the resignation of the Chairman of the State Cen tral Committee, Hon. Cnanixs J. Banns—Dear Sir : I have received the communication of your wish "to resign the position of Chairman of the Demo cratic State Central Committee, in order to give as a private soldier, or in any sphere that may be open to you, yqur whole exertions for the defense of our invaded Commonwealth." its the chairmanship was accepted by yott with the =preen understanding that it, was not to prevent your compliance with any call to military servibe which you might deem obliga tory upon you, I cheerfully consent, so far as 1 have any interest in your movements, to your resort to arms in defense of the State. Indeed, much as I regret to lose your services at the head of the Committee, I nevertheless earnestly desire you to go, and, if possible, to take with you men enough to expel the invaders from our borders. The Governor's proclamation of the 26th instant is a specific demand for State defense. 'You will be mustered into the service of the State," he says, "for the period of ninety days, but will be required to serve only so much of that period of the muster as the safety of our people and honor of our State may require." There ought to be such an instant uprising of young men in response to this call as shall be sufficient to assure the public safety and to teach the world that no hostile foot can with impunity tread the soil of Pennsylvania. I am, very truly, yours, GEOBGE W. WOODWARD.. Philadelphia, 29th June, 1863. The patriotic exhortation of Judge Wood ward will undoubtedly meet a hearty reeperAee from all parts of the Btate. The danger of a speedy return of the foe is imminent, and nothing but an uprising of the people can save us from desolatioit. ,Arming the Negroes. Our PrUncial Governor—we presume by order of the' authorities at Washington—hee armed and equipped two companies of netrOdd in our midst. This is in clear violatiOn of the usage and laws of the State, which a Governor de facto would have felt himself bound by his oath to respect. But, independent of other con siderations, we look upon it as impolitic and unwise, for the reason that it might, and may Still, bring upon us terrible ealatnitien. It was impolitic white the rebels were thundering at our doors, because, bad they captured the city, 4L13 many feared they would,,and some of their number been shot by the negroes, they would doubtless have been so much: e xasperated as not only to destroy the negrciii . but give the city up to sack and pillage Ina destruction. It was unwise, because many of 'these negroes are drunken, disorderly and vicious, have been under the surveillance of the police for a long time, and have only been prevented from com mitting depredations upon 'the property of citizens by the vigilance of Barney Campbell, cihief of They have now aromin hands, belong to no military organizntion,:and are, therefore, unrestrained by discipline While on special duty their captains; _ : to whom we attribute the best of motives, iipty, and doubtless will, control them ; but when not on duty, they go' to their respective homes, still retaining their arms; and we ask every intelligent man in the eeminunity if there is not great danger, under tire circumstances, of a collision between, them - and the citizens or the -police; which may result in a fearful riot? Should each an event occur, the natural an tagonism of race would be strengthened, and it must inevitably result in serious injury to the blacks themselves, besides the loss of life and the disturbance of the public potioo. We have every kindly consideration for the negroes in their proper planes, but cannot con sent to have them, under any circumstances, placed upon an equality with white men, whether in civil or military capacity, and, we doubt not, that is the feeling of a large major ity of the soldiers as well as citizens. The two obnipanies in Question, in obedience to the or. der of the Mayor, done good service with pick and shovel in the trene . • 1, • - 13 I name of order end the maintenance of the public peace, against having these negroes in our midst with arms in their hands. If our Provincial Governor desires to cater to the mad folly of Abolition fanaticism, by making from Pennsylvania another John Brown raid “Into the heart of the rebellion," let him send the negroes who desire to carry arms to West Chester, where. a camp is being formed by "Massa Lincom." We do not want them here. In this connection 'we With tO soy a few words to the respectable and sane portion of the Republicans. If you continue to arm ne groes and endeavor to incite servile insurrec tions in the South ; if you permit such ruffians as Jim Lane and Montgomery to go on steal ing and destroying private property, burning towns and desolating the fair fields through which they pass, can you hope always to es cape a similar vandalism at the hands of the Southern soldiers ? It is not in human nature to endure forever such outrages without retali ation. The imagination cannot conceive of a picture more horrible than a war conducted on these principles, which invariably results in burning towns, ravished WOlneli, desolated States, and a fiendish carnage, revolting to humanity, christianity and civilization. Let the party in power be wise in time, and driving from their councils the mad fanatics who are fast bringing about this state of things, be guided by the advice of patriots and data men, conduct the war according to the usages of civilized nations, and we may yet escape these terrible calamities. The Awful Condition of the Country - . Who are Responsible The New York Herald, a paper which has rendered a vonoietent and persistent support to the National administration, has the following, which we commend to the attention of all our readers: Three years ago this country was the envy of the world. Thirty millions of people of all classes, conditions, religions and nativities were living happily together under the freest government upon the face of the earth. The poor and the oppressed of all nations found a refuge upon our shores. Our flag was known and respected in every land and on every sea. Our commerce bore to distant climes the pro ducts of our soil and of our manufactures, and brought us in exchange ail the comforts and luxuries we could desire. To be an American citizen was so great an honor that even the aristocrats of Europe showed us especial fa- Toed a nd wanted our representatives with dis tinguished consideratiort. We had just Sent France her Emperor and Italy her Liberator, after having received and protected these illus trious exiles. - The future King of England had visited us to-see for himself the supreme greatness and happiness of a free people under a government of their own choice. Peace, contentment and prosperity at home—admira tion, envy and honor abroad—in these words r 4-- ' pictured the condition of the United Staten three years age. To day one half the country is in rebellion against the Government. Three hundred thou sand American soldiers are arrayed against each ether around the national capital The loyal armies are destroying publics and private property at the Booth, and hivedingand devaet a ti„ - the rebel armies are g the North. The flames of burning towns and villages are answered by 1 the red glare of burning ships. Our commerce is almost totally destroyed, and what is left of it has abandoned our flag and sought safety beneath the British ensign. Rebel pirates in fest the seas, ravage our coasts cnd dare to enter our harbors. Fifty millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed or paptured in Maryland and Pennylvania last week, and our losses elsewhere are double that sum. Thousands of brethren who lived in amity and p eace three years ego.heve since been slain by fratricidal hatsde and now sleep beneath the sod. The national currency has depreciated until gold is at an enormous premium. The necessaries of life command extravagant prices.llll3loßED CABINET AND AWAIT CHANGES Our manufactures have ceased almost entirely 'HY' .'• WIAsHINGTON, June 30, 1863 —The rumors in some stations of the country, and in others , are ma ma ma of the war.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jane 30.—Advices from the city of Mexico from the 30th of May to the ea h of Jane have been received. The neivS is of the highest importance. President Juarez and his Cabinet have con cluded to evacuate the City of Mexico. They have taken this action, believing that the most effectuNl resistance to the French army could be made outside of the walls. On the 31st of May, the government moved to San Lou s Potosi, =sling all the miv.tble firearms and munitions of war. They also took with them two millions of dollars from the treasury. The force that garrisoned the city, said to number over 20,000, was withdrawn to euer nevaca. Plaza, and the intermediate points 'around the city, for the purpose of carrying on a guerrilla warfare. On June Ist a meeting was held in the city, at-which the principal leaders of the Church party were present. They sent a commission to Gen. Furey to offer their allyginnee to the Emperor Napoleon.

BY THE MAILS. THE NAVIGATION OF THE POTOMAC A careful examination of the banks of the Potomac shows that there has been no attempt by the rebels recently to otstruct 14 naviga- tion, nor are there any indications Whatever of such a purpose. THE. CAPTURE OF STORES BY STUART'S CAVALRY. WASHINGTON, June 30, 1863 —The Republi can this afternoon published the following semi-official account of the capture of com missary stores by Stuart's cavalry on Sunday hibt The commissary commissary stores captdred by the rebels on Sunday morning were nut at Edwards' Fer ry, as stated yesterday, but six miles this side of that place, on board the canal barges. They were in charge of Captain Granger, of the Commissary Department. He lett Edwards' Ferry on Saturday evening, under the impres sion that everything was certainly safe in this direction, and came down to a point nett'. Sen eca creek, where, at four o'clock on Sunday 'D oming. he found himeelf SUrreunded by the whole of the forces under Generals Stuart, Fitzhugh Lee and M'Mabon, numbering about eight thousand men. Of course the properly in 'Captain Granger's charge, and the men un der him, fell into the hands of the rebels. The supplies consisted chiefly of hard bread The rebels, who said they had subsisted six days on two days rations, made haste to sup ply th,meelves with the hard bread, not caring to secure what little coffee, sugar and other useful articles were on board the barges. In twenty minutes flies , bad their haversacks well filled and were in ilieir saddles ready to move —the stores not taken for immediate supply having been. set on fire by order of General Stuart. They then moved with their prisoners, Capt. clranger, his aßeistanre and wen, in the direc tion of Rockville, through which plese they passed. On entering and passing through the made the.

Tee women were pardon larly enthusiastic, many of them waving their handkerchiefs from doors and windows, and some rushed to the iebel officers and embraced them. One woman, who is known, made her self particularly conspicuous. She was on horseback, and riding up to Gen. Stuart, wa ring her hand and bowleg her head, said—"l can mitre you GenPrfil, that the ladies of Rockville are delighted to see you and yaur command." From one private dwelling a se cesh flag was diaplayed. Rockville has never been noted for its loyalty, but this demonstra-• Lion, witnessed by our officers, will not be for gotten. The rebel foreeg, with their prisoners, On tinned their march. to Brookville, where the later were paroled. Capt. Granger and the other officers and men were compelled to keep up with the mounted rebt.ls the whole distance to Brookville, which was about thirty-five miles by the route taken. The rebel officers were very much alarmed for fear of being met or overtaken by General Pleasanton's forces. The fear of encounterieg a force of the Union troops is the reason, prob ably, wby the raiders did nct, destroy the rail road between here and Baltimore, and also why they did not stop to do much damage to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, between Bal timore and Frederick, which has since been repaired and is now in good running order. THE UNION AND REBEL ARMIES PREPAB/lia FOR A GREAT BATTLE WASHINGTON, June 30.—The information re ceived litre to-day has completely allayed all apprehension of any obstruction of the railroad between Washington and Baltimore. It is definitely ascertained that like cavalry expedi tion under J. E B. Stuart, Filzhitgli Lee and xumabou ' which made the raid in this vicini ty on Stiiiclay last, has left the neighborhood; and after doing slight damage to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Sykesville and Marriotts villa, hurried northward to join the main body of Lee's army. The indications are that Lee haii recalled his marauders from all the points where they were recently scattered, and is concentrating all his forces to resist the attack of General 14Ieade's army, which is believed to be imminent. THE ARMY READY FOR DEFENCE OR ATTACK WASHINGTON, June 80 letter from the Army of the Potomac, received to-night, says General Aleade's appointment is.well received everywhere, and that be is employed in ar ranging his plans for the future, ably assisted by the chiefs of the various departments, who served tinder the former.commanders of this army. Our troops are now in a position to repel an attack, or at once to assume the of fensive. THE CAUSES OF GEN. HOOKER'S REMOVAL MARYLAND Hwrowrs, June 28 —We were visited here yesterday by Maj. Gen.

Reynolds, our a ineof; and asked him what the object was in h 'ng the heights? The Colonel replied that h had often asked the same question and never got a satisfactory answer. Gen. Hooker then issued an order that the place should be evacu ated by 7 o'clock next morning. That such guns AB could not be taken away should be destroyed, and the stores removed. Immedi ately after be informed General Halleck bf. what he had done, whereupon he received a dispatch in reply countermanding the order, and saying that the fortifications had cost too much to be given np unless under the most urgent necessity. He considered Harper's Ferry to bs the key to the present and future operations of the Army of the Potomac. Gen. Hooker's comment upon this was natural enough— , g What is the use in. holding .on to the key after the door ie smashed ?" Another of General Hooker's Was treated with the same want of respect by General Ha)leck. Gen. Hooker felt terribly mortified. While on his way back from here, atter a visit of a cou ple of hours, he received an order from Wash ington removing him from the command, and placing Major General Meade in his stead.

The New York World has the following, which we consider good applying as it does as well to Pennsylvania as to the other States of the Union: "In response to the call of Governor Tod for troops to repel the threatened invasion of Lee, the Democratic convention of Coshocton ecun ty, which was in-session, resolved unanimously that Governor Tod be requested 'to send the United States troops now oppressing the loyal people of Coshocton, Knox and Holmes coun ties to repel the invaders; and that our young men be requested to volunteer to prevent the yowl of rebel troops upon the soil of Ohio.' "This was good advice. There are probably 80,000 troops now located in various points in Gits‘Western States who might have been in the fieleAut for the outrages of Burnside and. nascali....The only way to conquer the North, as the administration will find, is first to con quer the South. It is monstrous to be keep ing troops in Ghia to put down the 'people of that State, when thhy are so much needed 41:1 the field." All the gamblers in Cincinnati have been or dered to leave within Afteen days. GRASS FED INDIANS.—One of the Califor nia journals has the following statement rela tive to a new kind of food adopted by the "Digger Indians," as they are called :—"Tbere are two considerable Indian villages in the vicinity at the present tine, and the Indians, who looked as lean and gaunt as half-famished wolves during the past winter, now appear en joying all the luxuries that an abundant supply of beetand bread eon Afford_ The hills in the vicinity are verdant with nice tender clover, which is devoured by these poor savages with as much gusto as an epicure would devour a most dainty dish. They gather the clover in baskets and prepare it for use by heating large stones and placing a layer of clover well mois tened between each layer Of stones. It soon becomes ready for use, and each one of them will eat a supply of clover thus prepared that would almost supply a horse."
