The extraordinary exhibition of rebel strength, both East and West, has evi dently aroused -the most lethargic in the North to a tolerably just conception of the magnitude of the rebellion. Those to whom we have all along looked for infor mation upon this absorbing topic, now, by their fear, demonstrate that they knew nothing of the rebel resources. They have told the country over and over again that the "next battle" would certainly prostrate the enemy, and that their power would certainly be finally crushed at a given period. We do not now allude to these facts for any other purpose than to admonish our readers against believing any ..similar predictions hereafter. The rebellion is only beginning to exhibit its strength, and the people should know the sacrifices which they must make iu order to subdue it. Being lulled into a false security, only to be startled from it by the ' booming of the enemy's cannon, is not the way to resist and conquer the most fierce, formidable and determined rebel lion that ever spread desolation in its train. Let us look around and see how we stand Within two weeks the rebels have ap peared in almost every direction in the South, and with tremendous numbers. The State of Kentucky is not only almost in the hands of the rebels, but the neigh boring State of Ohio is threatened with rebel invasion. Portions of Tennessee have been recaptured by the enemy, and Gov. Johnston is apprehensive of the fall of Nashville. They hold the capital of Kentucky; they have made rapid advances towards Maryland and our national capi tal, and now the Executive of our State is apprehensive of its being in danger of sud den invasion. These are not rumors, but stubborn facts, and in order to be pre pared to meet even worse, will require the entire attention of us all. The rebels are in numbers in every direction; they are determined to assail us suddenly at every available point, and we may look for ex hibitions of terrible valor and desperation, such as present despair and a hopeless fu ture create. On the Fourth of July last, at a meeting of the rebel Cabinet, at which were pres cut several of their leading Generals, the future of their operations was discussed. An offensive campaign was debated, and was advocated by Lee, Johnston, and Beauregard. Since then the leading Southern papers, including those at Rich mond and Charleston, (S. C.,) have been vehement in their demands for the adop tion of offensive measures. In order to be able to do this, the Southern conscription act is to be enlarged. The Richmond Whig of the 23d of August, alluding to this, and also to President Lincoln's cal for volunteers and militia, significantly re marks "Of the 600,000 new Yankee levies, not one from East of the Ohio knows how to fire a gun or ride a horse, and six or eight months will be necessary for them to learn these indispensible qualifications for war. In the meantime they will be food for pan ics. Every Southern man and boy can ride and shoot, and have only to learn one or two words of command and a few sim ple movements to be as good soldiers as twenty years drilling could make them. "This superiority of our population was strangely overlooked last year, when we suffered the finest army ever assembled to rot at Manassas, and gave the enemy time to drill their new levies. If we pursue the same policy again we shall again suffer. But if Congress will extend the conscrip ion so as to embrace all between eighteen and forty-five, and if the war is then push ed at once, and' into the enemy's country, the new levies of the Yankees will avail them nothing; but on the contrary, being' little better than a rabble route, will prove an invaluable aid to our advancing col-1 amns. "The City of Washington must be anni hilated. There can be no peace until that nest of Yankees and traitors is extermina ted. It is a bar to an satisfactory inter vention by foreign Powers; and would forever constitute a bone of contention inl the event of a temporary adjustment.— The fate of Carthage must be that of Washington. - Let 'Stonewall" have one lick at it, and we shalLhave no more trou ble from that quarter." This extract from the Whig, together with what we already know by rebel de monstration, show no very clearly what -we are to expect, unless prepared and determined to resist and repel invasion.— Should the rebels cut their way into Mary land and cross over into the Southern counties of our State, they, would spread blight and desolation over the fairest portion dont. State." The Cumberland valley,the garden. of the Commonwealth, would soon be made to resemble the desolated fields of Eastern Virginia. Should they sue• ceed in their programme of invading our State, fixing themselves in Maryland, what is to prevent them, in their fury, from running up to Harrisburg, from thence to Philadelphia, or out here to Pittsburgh? If they have determined to risk a war of invasion, it is not for the purpose of quietly Occupying some snug locality to rest in ; no, it is for the purpose of inflicting all the.damage they can upon us, in the most effective way; and in the shortest possible time. The rebels have announced their determination to level Washington ; if successful in that, will they not extend their:Vandalism to other clues, the des truction of which would afflict us so much more. The reader may imagine that we are alarmed, taking counsel from our fears. We confess to being alarmed for the ex istence of our government, because the enemy is making demonstrations which no one but themselves were aware of. We see them beginning an offensive campaign, which threatens disaster and which one sick ens at contemplating; and on the other hand we see our own leaders so oppressed with the rebels' power as to be seriously contemplating a war whose duration is indefinite, and which must result only in absolute "extermination." We have quo ted an extract from the Richmond Whig, of the 23d of August, suggesting what the rebels have already commenced ; now read the following, from Forney, who is deep in the counsels of those on our side having the exclusive control of the war: "As I have said, our policy hereafter must be a policy of concentration and power. It is not so much that we occupy towns and strongholds—we must annihi late the rebel army, and utterly destroy every source of its. strength or perpetuity. Richmond is nothing to us in comparison. Norfolk and Nashville are mere collec tions of houses, which have no advan tages beyond a collection of houses in Massachusetts or Missouri. In taking Richmond we must utterly destroy the rebel force—and then Richmond is taken. Let us adopt the Roman sentiment— "where there is solitude there is peace'' —let us make our war a war of destruction and extermination. Placing the Republic above all other things perish that it may be preserved. Let there be flame and bloodshed, and barren lands, villages des olated, and every evidence of prosper ity destroyed; let every negro be emanci pated; let the whole South be a desert, but let the Republic be preserved." From what we have presented the reader must prepare for either a sudden crushing of the rebellion, or a war of lasting and terrible duration. "Fight it out — is the cry upon both sides, the spirit of each party increasing with each new and bloody en gagement. Custom has used us to the sight of carnage and blood. so that war has comparatively lost its terrors. We are almost schooled for a war of endless duration, and, in another year. we shall exult. in carnage and blood. The aveng ing angel has visited us for some great transgression and we must accept the scourge. If the rebellion be a necessity then let us meet it as such, and leave con sequences where we can not prevent them from being impartially exa tuitted and ad 'usted DEATH OF GEN. STEVENS General Isaac J. Stevens, who was kil led on the 2d, gallantly leading his com mand, was born in North Andover, .la,- sachusetts, in 1818: graduated at the West Point Military Academy in 1839, and en tered the corps of engineers, in which service he continued until 1853 : when he was appointed Governor and Superintend ent of Indian Affairs for the Territory of Washington. This ollice he resigned in 1857, having previously been elected a Delegate to Congress, from Washington Territory. As an officer of the army, he was at the siege of Vera Crnz, under Gen• oral Scott; fought in several subsequent battles ; was severely wounded in the final assault upon the City of Mexico, and was twice bre% etted for gallant services. He also served for a tune as an assistant in the Coast Survey Office in Washington City. When Governor of Washington Territory, he traveled through its whole extent, and as Commissioner made many treaties with the Indian tribes. GEN. McCLELLAN Official War Gazette. HEADQUARTERS OF Tilt: ARMY, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE. Washington, Sept . 2 I st;2. J By direction of the President Major Gen eral McClellan will have command of the fortifications of Washington, and of all the troops for the defense of the caprtal. By order of the Secretary of War. E. D. TowssExn, A. A. General. INTERPRETATION OF THE AROVE ORDER The following despatch from a leading official in Washington was received in New York, and gives a clear intrepertation of the above order:— WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. 1862: General McClellan has certainly hew placed in command of the Army of Vir giuia defending the capital, and is, there lore, chief in command here, under Gen eral Halleck. i With the Army of Virginia within range, if not inside, the fortifications of Washing• ton City, we presume Gen. McClellan will again SISSUMIII command under General Halleck. We are now in the greatest peril, demanding the mighty resources of he Northern States, the efforts and mon ey of all men without regard to: age. We hold our breath, waiting for the news, which a few days must determine the fall of Washington, or the onward march of our armies upon a retreating foe. We have not a doubt as to the result, with Gen. Halleck in the saddle, his grand army concentrated, and his able Generals recog nizing a common authority, there can be but one result. McClellan and his devo ted men will be to him a tower of strength. Give him, as he deserves, a post of hon or, and in God's name conquer, as."con quer we must." CONGRESSIONAL NOMINA- TION.

EDITOR :—When I writoyou last week, my friend Barbour and yoir thimble servant expected confidently to'get to our respective places within the next forty eight hours. Owing to the fact, however, that it was impossible to learn certainly where our portion of the army -was loca ted, and that the rebels had made a raid on the Alexandria and Orange Railroad, interfering decidedly with the transporta tion of men and munitions, we are still here, but fondly cherish the hope that we will be able to join our friends in arms, at or near Centreville, to-morrow. There has been, and still will be, hot work going on there or thereabouts, and, like John Gilpin, when the next race comes off I want to be there to see. Of courre- you have received general information, by tel egraph, of the fi ghting which took place in the neighborhood of Manassas and Cen treville, last week, between the Union forces and the rebels, in command of the übiquitous Stonewall Jackson. Hence it is not necessary for me to speak of gener alities here. My object is to give you some items of local interest. The lighting or skirmishing commenced on Tuesday evening, but the hard work did not corn mence until Thursday, and the severest battle was on Friday. The sixty-second regiment has suffered, I am informed, considerably, but I am unable to learn particulars. As soon as it is possible to obtain details the same shall be promptly forwarded. The following is a list of those known to be killed and wounded in the t;3d regiment, on Friday, the 29th ult., which I obtained from Col. Hays himself: PRIVATES KILLED. Sergi. Stacy, Co I: Jacob Keith, Co K; Hobert Weiterman, K; Daniel 13. Young, K; Michael McGinnis, H; Stone, C; McWilliams, C. WOUNDED. Col. Alex.

Il Patrick Collins, H; Stone of Co. C., brother of deceased of same company, left leg blown off with a shell. Col. Hays and Major Kirkwood are now lying, the former in No. 28 and the latter in No. HO; Brown's Hotel, where they are doing well and reeeiving from their numerous friends that attention and kind nursing which brave and gallant conduct On the field of battle so eminently entitles them to. The wounded of the 1;:;(1. given nbove, are only those who were fortunate 'enough to have been brought in to the eity with the Colonel. Ile estimates the entire hiss in his regiment at one hundred and fifty in killed and wounded. and while he says the whole loss of the week was had ebough, it was not anything like us fright Gil as would appear front the accounts al ready published in the New York and Washington City papers. The course Of Gen. McDowell is very severely criticised by the soldiers who participated in the recent battles. many 'of whom have no hesitancy in saying. that he played into the hands of the rebels, "dead on purpose," as the boys used to say. (len eral Sigel and other officers, who have been intimately associated with him, are now decidedly down on him, and have cut his cotton most emphatically. It is said that in the late raids the rebel guerrillas, on being told it was General McDowell's train, spared it altogether, while they pitched Into Popo savagely. "Straws show," &c. From Lieut. )4. A. Craig, of Brookville, (105th regiment,) who is now lying at Brown's Hotel, severely wounded in the wrist of the right arm, 1 learn that the following casualties, among many others, happened tO that regiment: Sergeant Andrew Cochran, privat es Jun Taylor and Animas Coup, of Co. Li, coui inanded by Capt. S. A. Craig. MEE= Capt. C. A. Craig, commanding regi ment, in foot or ankle, severely; Captain John Hastings, A. in right leg, below the knee, severely; Captain Robert Kirk, F. struck by grapeshot in left shoulder, seri ous but not dangerous; Captain Albert C. • Thompson, K., in the right breast, danger. ously ; Lieutenant S. A. Craig, 4, in right arm, severely; Lieut. Neal, A, in right leg, slightly. The above lists are, of course, not Lull, but can be relied upon as correct, as far as they go. As soon as I Gan get up with our corps &armee, I will make it my business to hunt up all information which will in terest your numerous readers. Col. Rowley's regiment, with the ex ception of Co. M, which was left to drill new troops, arrived from Yorktown at Alexandria on Sunday, and at once pro ceeded to the seat of war. Major J no. W. Patterson, who has been here for several days, trying to find hip companions, re ported to them hitst evening, sod will take his place on tbe field to-morrow. He is recovering rapidly from the effects of the wound he received through the lungs at Fair Oaks, and appears anxious to have another pop at the rebels. James Franklin, who went out with Capt. Glass, in Sickle? brigade, and I think lived in the Sixth Ward, was shot in the right leg in the battle of Friday, and had to have it amputated below the knee. He fought bravely, and bore his sufferings like g hero . The excitement here just now is most intense, and all sorts of wild rumors are flying about. It would be an easy task to fill a column of your paper with these sensation stories, but I prefer to deal in lilain facts, which are stubborn things and generally bad enough. All the carriages which usually stand about the hotels, as well as the omnibuses, have been impress ed into the service of the Government and are constantly arriving from the battle field loaded with wounded. All has been quiet since Sunday morning, but the slaughter on both sides , _ for the five days previous to that time, has, judging from the best infcrination, been immense. Quite a delegation of 'physicians from Pittsburgh have arrived here within the past two days, nearly all of whom com plain, of the shabby manner in which they hav6 beep treated by the boss butchers. la_ . um every Aer &bent Z r this _ magnificent diatoms. fluke is an ' - moo* of CO taimiaadlona tawas, buggery.4o_4o through, whisk ass ourisiaityrateSis toeit4ipre , . • with.

The Savannah News comments as fol lows on the rumor that Gen. MeCook's soldiers had killed seventeen partisan ran gers to avenge his murder : "If 'it is said' does nut lie, this will prove the worst day's work 'his soldiers' ever performed, as our scouts will string them up like Weathersiield onions in re: taliation for the outrage. When Billy Bowlegs was informed that Gen. Harney was coming after him, and that Harney would hang him when taken, Billy is said coolly to have replied: 'Em'emid Harney catch, Billy hang—Billy catch, Harney hang !' Our we- is coming to that very fast. It is a game at which two can play. and in which we have not: only equal op• portunity, but certainly all the right on our side. The sooner it is understood that the rules of Christian warfare are to be utterly disregarded the better for us. We should have commenced hanging thieves, insurrectionists and murderers long ago." Saw 11018P1111111 Not Dead The following appears in the New leans ..VaHoned idowate: ANDREw sTKErn, sF:AIt I)l2rA/a =EN Ste: I see that a number of papers re port the death of Sam Houston, late Gov ernor of the State of Texas. As I am lately from Galveston and Houston l can explain the probable cause of the report. In A pril last he was very ill from a cold ; the steamer Diana, running from Galves ton to Houston, passes his place, and one day brought the report of his death to Houston. The Hags both in Houston and Galveston were at half-mast, and his obit uary appeared in the papers. The return trip of the bout brought a contradiction of the report, however, and I have seen him in Houston several times since. BALTiount, Sept. 2.—A gentleman in Baltimore today received a letter dated Aug. 17th, from Baton Rouge via New Orleans, written by a Federal officer, an- flouncing that the Fedoral troops had completely destroyed Baton Rouge by tire. Breckinridge was approaching the place with a large rebel army. He sent a flag of truce demanding the surrender of the town, which was perepintortly refused. Tne Federal force, feeling; unable to cope with such overpowering numbers, secured the State archives and other valuables, and then set lire to the city, leaving it. The fire continued burning for three days, de• s t ro yi ng , i t i s supposed, every building. our troops went on board bouts to New trleato.. GEN. MCCLELLAN.

Clcllnn. retnarlt: : •' The absurd and cruel rumors which have been hatched by the teeming nualig;• city of the radicals, and scattered all over the country by telegraph within the last three days, meet a signal contradiction in the order of the President, dated yester day. The enemies of Gen. WClelian set afloat confident staienienti that he httd disobeyed orders, had caused the defeat of Saturday by his neglect to forward rein• toreements, and tongues were found to utter and pens to write against him the accusation of treason. In the face of these malicious and shocking charges, President Lincoln immediately issues an order investing Gen. McClellan with the command of the fortifications of Washing t• n !flu' of all the troops for the defense of the capital. lia4 the President comtuit• ted the defense of• the national capital to a freshly detected traitor? Mr. Lincoln knows the charge to be as atrociously ma lignant and base as it is utterly false. It is a characteristic illuscration of the un scrupulous and groundless detraction with which Gen. McClellan has been pursued by his persecutors front the beginning, Though they have never before aimed quite so murderous a blow at his reputa tion, these assassins of character have made constant thrusts with weapons poisoned by falsehood and venom, taxing their inge nuity to invent all sorts of fictitious anec dotes and absurd statements to bring him into contempt and derision. His abilities as a General are a fair subject for public criticism, but there can be no palliation for the cruel and malignant assaults upot his patriotism. Some of Gen. Dumont's Doings. (lee Dumont, who is in command at. Lebanon, Kentucky, sent out a citizen scout, or spy, to look after Morgan and his band of marauders. He proceeded to a town that he supposed to be in our pos session, but on arriving there, lo and be hoid, he found himself in the midst of the enemy. Morgan seizedhim, and find ing out his name from some one who knew him, immediately telegraphed to Dumont in the name of the Federal Provost Mar shal thus.—"A. B. has arrived safely.— He represents himself to be your spy. If so, I can communicate to him important information.' Dumont, thinking there might be a cat in the meal tub, replied:— "I have sent out no such spy. He is probably a spy of Morgan's. Send him to me under a strong guard and I will give him the benefit of a drum-head court-mar tial. This satisfied Morgan, and convinced hint that his suspicions were groundless, and that the man was not a spy. He turned him loose, and the lucky fellow lost no time in getting back to Dumont's camp with a full report of all he had seen and heard. That was the time Morgan made nothing by catching our spy an using the telegraph.
