THE INVASION
Our readers will have ascertained be
fore they reoeive the information from us,
that there is considerable trouble in the
tipper portion of the Cumberland Valley.
Our citizens received the first intelligence
rf the rebel advance on Sunday evening.
With it came an order to the Command
ant of the Garrison to send all the troops
there, immediately to Chambersburg . In
obedience to this order all the available
soldiers stationed at this post left about
midnight for that place. There was con
siderable excitement during the night and
on Monday morning; but from the des
patches received on INlonday evening our
citizens concluded they had been the vic
tims of a "scare," without any cause, and
every thing became quiet again. There
was no further excitement until Wednes
day afternoon, when we learned that there
had been a skirmish in Hagerstown and
that communication with that placo was
cut off. Later in the evening we ascer
tained that our mon had fallen back to
reencastle Thin gave a fresh alarm

We learn that the troops from the Gar

and had quite a sharp s'airinh-li
with the mils in Hagerstown ; the result
of which was the driving of them (the
rebels) out of_ that place with the loss of
three prisoners—a lieutenant and two pri
vates.
The latest advises are that our forces
have fallen back to Greencastle, and that
no rebels have yet crossed the Suite line.
It is useless to conceal the fact that
much excitement exists in the valley at
present, but we cannot think there is yet
any real cause for our Cumberland county.

In the event of the near approach of'

Hagerstown, and our valley is fast as

A report, seemingly well-verified, is
in circulation to the effect that 30,000 of
the enemy have crossed the Potomac in
the vicinity of 'Harper's Ferry, and are
marching towards Frederick. It' this be

they will find ample preparations for their

REPEAL OF THE FUGITIVE
SLAVE LAW.
One of the most praiseworthy acts of
the present Congress is the repeal of
what is known as the Fugitive Slave Law.
It was a part of the famous Compromise
mean-Itres enacted by the Congress of
1850. It never would have had a place
on our statute books had not our states
men of that day supposed that it, toge
ther with the other measures adopted at
the same time, would forever settle the
slavery agitation and prevent disunion
and war. The subsequent history of the
country has shown their error and made
it too clearly evident that the slave power
was then as now intensely hostile to our
Government and was anxiously hunting
up a pretext for rebellion. No possible
concessions were sufficient tosatisfy them,
and whenever the right was sacrificed in
order to quiet their threats of treason, it
only made them despise the Government
and encouraged them to believe that they
could even attempt rebellion with impu
nity.
The law in itself, was about as disgrace
ful as can well he imagined. In addition
to its fereing the north to stand guard
around the property of southern men, it
offered a direct bribe to the officer who
was authorized to carry out its provisions.
A discrimination was made against the
weak and in lltvor of the strong. Under
its provisions the pay of the officer de
pended on his decision. If a fugitive
was arrested, against whom the preten
ded owner could not make out a clear
case, the law kindly ma le up for the lack
of evidence by giving the Commissioner
a double fee for sustaining the claim.—
W het her cr not this disgraceful law
should have remained in force a single
year is a question which is unnecessary
now to discuss. As long as there was a
hope that peace and order might be pre
served, every patriot felt - hound to en-
Lire in silenceohnost any thing that did
not amount to positive disgrace or dis
honor. But when it became a certainty
that these concessions to the insolent de
mands of slave owners had produced the
very result they were intended to prevent,
and when the entire slave interest was in
.open arms against the Covarnment, cer
tainly there could be no question that
the Nation in justice to itself and to its
boasted love for free institutions, should
at once repeal every enactment that im
posed a burden on loyal men for the be
nefit, of traitors. There was however a
strange reluctanje to tonA any thing
connected with the interest of slavery,
and it is only now that Congress has ven
tured to repeal this most hateful feature
of our compliance with the demands of
those who have proved our country's
worst toes.,, While we regret the delay
iu its accomplishment we rejoice that at '
last the odious law is repealed.
As Pennsylvanians, however, we can
claim but little credit fir our action in
this important legislation. Our two Sen
ators, though representing a State which
had twice suffered from the invasion of
armed slaveholders, still voted that it was
the duty of the Nation to serve her de
stroyers. That one of them would do so
every one expected; that the other cored,
brit few believed. Mr. Buckalew's ac
tion was consistent with his whole polit
ical life. He had always been a Demo
crat, whose actions were regulated by his
own notions of expediency without any
regard to the bad results arising from a
disregard of principle. He is also in
debted for his seat in the Senate to the
dictation of an armed mob. Of course
he voted against' the repeal of the bill,
and it would have surprised every one'
had he voted differently. Mr. Cowan's
antecedents indicated a different course.
He had been chosen a Senator by the
-votes of men who had always opposed the
demands of slavery, and over the heads
of men who were his superior in intellect
and whose services to the party were in
finitely greater than his. At the time of
his election be professed the most violent
°Haitian to every thing connected with
the system of slavery, and accepting his
prid'essions in good faith, our legislators
conferred on him the highest- office in
their gift. Having been chosen under
such circumstances the country expected
that Edgar Cowan would always stand in
the front rank of those who fought trea
son, and that he would zealously devote
his energies to the complete overthrow
of the institution that gave it birth.—
But he has grievously disappointed those
who trusted him and been false - to the
principles to 'which he owes his high po
eition. We grieve to be forced to con
demn the course of Mr. Cowan, but not
more than the cenntry',grieves to see the
representative of Dennsylyailia tote with,
Powell, Davis, .and Saulsbury, for..the,
continuance of the slavery of loyal men
to traitors.

RESIGNATION oYMEMAAT
CHASE.
This unexpected resignation took place
on Thursday of last week. So little were
the public prepared to hear of any change
in the Treastiry Department that 'the an
nouncement was scarcely believed, even
in Washington, until the nomination of
his successor was sent to the Senate for
confirmation.
first effect produced by this offi
cial announcement of Mr. Chase's resig
nation, 'was one of alarm and insecurity.
The enemies of the Administration re
presented that the desire of the President
to control the action of the Secretary by
considerations affecting the coining elec
tion, was the cause of the trouble. They
endeavored to create the impression that
Mr. Lincoln's scheming for re-election
interfered with Mr. Chase's financial
measures, and that rather than submit to
interference in his own department, the
Secretary tendered his resignation. Of
course this explanation placed the whole
affair in an exceedingly unfavorable as
pect. It was feared that our finances
would become so seriously deranged as to
involve us all in a common ruin. Aided
by the fears produced by a change in the
Financial Department, the gold gamblers
succeeded in raising the price of gold to
an unprecedented height. This increa
sed the panic and a feeling of painful
uncertainty pervaded the whole country.
The alarm and panic was only natural
and what might have been expected un
der the circumstances. The Nation in
general had the most implicit confidence
in the retiring minister. He had taken
charge of the Treasury at the most im
portant and alarming crisis. Its coffers
were - empty, and worse even than that,
the nation was without credit and almost
without a Government. Hardly a month
had elapsed when treason plunged us
into a civil war which has involved an
ex penditure of treasure which would have
exhausted the resources of any other
country on the globe. Under these cir
cumstances the position of Minister of
Finance has been one which demanded
the possession of the most consummate
ability. Mr. Chase has heretofore given
evidence that he possessed great financial
ability and we were accustomed to speak
of Isis management as a most signal e
oessl. We have no wish whatever to de
tract an iota from his well earned fame
or to say aught in disparagement of his
abilitie•t. There is no purer patriot or
nobler man living than Salmon P. Chase.
And while we readily admit the general
ability displayed by him during his ad
ministration, we must protest against that
blind confidence which implicitly ap
proves every measure proposed by any
man, no matter bow great may be the
general confidence reposed in him. We
would therefore seek far other causes for
Mr. Chase's retirement than, any disc
greement between him and the President,
and regard his withdrawal as fraught with
little or no danger to our financial affairs.
Without entering into a scrutiny of
the late financial schemes of Mr. Chase,
we arc compelled to admit that the Trea
sury operations during the last few weeks
have not been attended with any marked
success. Gold has ri , en, steadily and
rapidly. The measures adopted by the
Department to prevent its rise and the
consequent depreciation of' the currency
had the opposite effect. The monied in
terests of the country were coming in
conflict with the interests of the Gov
ernment, and eml,arrasFun.nt in our
financial affairs was the direct and ne
cessary consequence. The currency de
preciated; the - ten-forty" loan was very
tardily taken; part of the new loan to be
taken at four per cent. premium had to
be withdrawn from the market, and even
the five-twenties were depreciating with
alarming rapidity. In the abscence of
any decided disaster to our arms, this
condition of affairs can only be accoun
ted fbr by the lack of confidence in the
operations of the treasury which was be
ginning to infect the great monied inter
ests of the country.
Evidently Mr. Chase's system was not
producing the results he anticipated and
eventually he would have to abandon it.
The only means of avoiding this action
was a resignation, and the Secretary re
tired. We need only refer to the rapid
fall in the price of gold and the improve
ment in government securities which fol
lowed the appointment of his successor,
to prove that we are correct in our state
ment of the cause of his resignation, and
also to prove the necessity of a change
in the operations of the Treasury.
In the appointment of a successor to
Mr. Chase, the Administration has been
most fortunate. Hon. Wm. Pitt Fessen
den, Senator from Maine and chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee, has
been appointed to and has accepted this
most responsible department. His posi
tion has enabled him to scrutinize close
ly the financial measures of his prede
cessor, and has given him a most -thor
ough knowledge of the condition of the
Nation. He has always been regarded
as one of the very ablest men in the
Senate, and as a profound and accom
plished statesman we think he has not
his supericir in the Nation. He will
bring to the discharge of his arduous dn.
tip great financial knowledge and ability,
which will enable him to fulfil the high
est expectations of his friends and 'pro
mote the best interests of the, country.

Rgoaitory, is gradually improving, and

Mr. Smithers, of Delaware, was adopted , by
a vote, of 81 to 75. It repeals tho Commu

CENTRAL FAIR CLOSED
On last Tuesday the Great Central Fair
closed, after a very successful run of three
weeks. It is impossible to give the result,
financially, as yet, but it is said that it will
net in the neighborhood of one million dol

TIANcocK the horse equipments. Gen. Ma-

ticipated in by thousand of persons.
LINCOLN'S ELECTION THE CAUSE OF THE
Wan—The New York Times, the special
organ of President Lincoln in that city, in a
leading article says:
Had Mr. Breekinridge, or Mr. Douglas, or
Mr, Bell been selected, there would have been
no rebellion. The South rebelled because the
plurality of the people chose to be served by
Mr. Li .la re. 3;
Here we have the confession that there
would hay ten no war if Mr. Lincoln had
been defeated This was as well known in
1860 as to day, but the Republicans then
chose civil war rather than forego their par
tisan success. They sowed the wind and
reaped the whirlwind.—Dent. Zie/Lange.
Certainly there would have been no war if
Mr. Lincoln had been defeated, but how
does that inculpate him or his party ? The
fact that Republicans would not have reboil
ed had they been outvoted is not very cred
itable to them, nor is the fact that their op
ponents refrain from making war on the
Government while they hold its offices very
much for them to boast of. The Republi
cans had a right to elect their candidate, if
they had a sufficient number of votes to do so,
but whore do their opponents got the right
to revolt because they have not votes enough
to elect theirs ? And if they do rebel against
the Government and plunge the nation into
civil war, without any cause whatever e 4.-
cept the loss of power, how can the Republi
cans be charged with the consequences of
their treason ?
The cause of the war is a rather a delicate
subject for Democrats to speak of and we.
suggest that they had better say little about
it.
TWO STORIES.

I have the authority of an officer of the

the statement "that Gen. Grant's army has

That was, indeed, the objector the recent at

that attempt failed, and it has not been re

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.
girThe Copperheads of Bedford County
met in Convention, in Bedford, on the 21st
and nominated Hon. F. M. Wminell
for the position of President Judge o hat
district. Congressional and Representarve
Conferees were appointed with- instrueti ns
to support Gen. A. H. Coffroth for Cong •
and Hon. B. F. Meyers for the Legisla
ture.
re -The Radical Germans of Chicago
have puhlkhed a protest against the late,
Cleveland Convention—or rather against
the delegates thereto from Chicago, who were
not elected by a majority of the Associatoin.
They declare themselves for the nominees of
the Baltimore Convention, and will discoun
tenance every effort to divide the tinion
Party.

ring to the fact that two Senators from
West Virginia, Messrs. Van Winkle and
Willey, voted against the repeal of the Fug
ative Slave Law, says:—ln recording them
selves as they did, Messrs. Van Winkle and
Willey no more represented the people of
West Virginia, than did those two implica
ble Copperheads, Riddle and Saulsbury, who
voted the same way, represent the loyal ma
jority in the State of Delaware.
BEDFORD COUNTY.—We find in the Bed
ford Inquirer the ticket nominated by the
Union men of that county - on Friday last.
It is as follows:
President Judge—Alexander King
Congress—Colonel Frank 'Jordan.
Assembly—D. 13. Armstrong.
Commissioner—A. 11.
P,oe Li, ;eter—A.sa Stucky.
Auditor—Etnanuel J.
We 'earnestly hipe that the conferees of
the Congrchsional district to which Bedford
county belongs will have the wisdom to
nominate FRANK Jon.n.lN for Congress. ll'
is just the man to defeat the Copperhead
CoFriorru, and is, moreover, one of the
ablest men in the State. His honesty, too,
is above suspicion. In this crisis Pennsyl
vania ought to send her best men to Congress,
and Coll JORDAN' is one of them.
An influential German paper published in
Northern Ohio, and which was favorable to
the Cleveland Convention, speaks as follows:
"The Fremont who wrote that letter (ac
cepting the Cleveland nomination) over
which the copperhead press is rejoicing, does
not appear to us like the,,„Fremont of 18:01.
How can we recognize the document as coin

and says that he reaches Coy ingtou ~which
they suppose he will do with mast of his for
ces, but with loss of material, he will he
safe.
The same paper accuses Gem Hunter of
destroying a great amount of private prop
erly, and stealing _a large number of horses
and cattle.
The some paper alto states that Gen. 'Wil
son destroyed a train of cars. loaded with
cotton and furniture, burned the depot build
ings, &c., at Berksvillo. and destroyed some
of the track, and was still pushing South.
All the railroads leading into Richmond are
now destroyed, and some of them badly.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, received
this Horning reports that yesterday, J une 27,
an unsuccessful attack was made by our for
ces on the enemy's position, which resultdd
in a loss of between two and three thousand.
The following particulars are given.
Pursuant to my orders of the 24th inst., a
diversion was made on each flank of the en
emy especially down the Sandtown road.
At 8 A M. Gen. McPherson attacked at the
southwest end of Kenesaw, and Gen. Thom
as at a point about a mile further south. At
the same time the skirmishers and artillery
along the whole line kept up a sharp fire.
Neither attack succeeded, though both col
umns reached the enemy's works which are
very strong.
Gen. McPherson reports his loss about
500, and Gen Thomas about 2,000.
The loss is particluarly heavy in general
field officers. Gen. Harker is reported mor
tally wounded ; also Col. Dan. McCook,
commanding a brigade; Col. Rice, fifty-sev
enth Ohio, very seriously.
Col. Baindell, Fortieth Illinois. and Au
gustine, Filly-fifth Illinois, are killed.
Gen. McPherson took one hundred priso
ners and Gen. Thomas about as many, but I
do not suppose we inflicted a heavy loss on
the enemy, as he kept.clear behind his para
pets.
No other military intelligence has been
received by the department.

To litajor General Dix:
Tho following dispatch 11.4 s just been re
ceived from Gen. Hunter.
have the honor to report that our ex
pedition has been extremely successful, in
dicting great injury upon the enemy, and
victorious in every engagement. Running
short of ammunition, and finding it impos
sible to collect supplies while in the presence
of an enemy believed to be superior to our
force in numbers, and constantly receiving
reinforcements from Richmond snd other
points, I deemed it best to withdraw, and
have succeeded in doing so without serious
loss to this point, .where we have met with
bbundant supplies of food. A detailed re
port of our operations will be forwarded
Immediately. The command is is excellent
heart and )ioalth, and ready after a few days

gives the following results of Gen.
operations.
Sixty miles of railroad were thoroughly
destroyed. The Danville road, General Wil
son reports, could not be repaired in less
than forty days, evon if all the materials
were on hand. He has destroyed all the
blacksmiths' shops where the rails might be
straightened, and all the mills whore scant
ling for sleepers could be sawed. Thirty
miles of the South Side Railroad were de
ztroyed. Wilson brought in about 400 ne
groes and many of the vast number of hors
es gathered by his forces. He reports that
the rebels slaughtered without mercy the ne
groes they retook.
Wilson's loss of property is a small wagon
train, used to carry ammunition, his anibu
lance train, and twelve cannon. The horses
of the artillery and wagons were generally
brought off. Of the cannon two were retnov
ed from the carriages, the wheels of which
were broken, and the guns thrum into the
water, and one other F un had bet 4 disabled
by a rebel shot, breaking the truthious, be
fore it wasqtbandoned. He estimies his to
tal loss at from 750 to 1000 men, , ncluding
those lost from Kautz's division.
A rebel force made its appearance near
Martinsburg this morning, and wire at the
last accounts destroying the railroll and ail
vaneing on Martinsburg. The rports re
ceived as yet are too confused and ontlicting
to determine the magnitude of th force or
the extent of its operations.

DEATII OF GEO. W. GREEN.--M 0
have received the painful intelligence that
George W. Green,_ a graduate of the HER
ALD office, and a young man well known to
most of our citizens, died at the Gayosa hos
pital, Memphis Tenn., on the 80th of
June, from injuries received at the battle of
Guntov, n
The deceased was in our office at the time
of the Governor's call_for nine months men,
when ho joined Capt. Porter's company of
the 130th P. V. Finishing his term of ser
vice in that organization, he shortly after re
enlisted as a veteran in the •1d N, J. Caval
ry. His regiment formed part of Sturges'
command at the late battle Of Guntown
where he received a wound in the breast
which has caused his death. Geo GREEN is
but one of the thousands whose sad fate keep
us in constant remembrance of the drunken
incapacity' which led our braVe soldiers to
useless slaughter. Is it possible that this
wholesale murder of our eons and brothers
is to escape the punishmentit merits ? Gen.
Samuel Sturges,. the officer to whose'drunk
en_insanity•the death of Geo. Green is di
rectly chargable, is we blush to say a na
tive of Cumbeiland county, and what will not
much suprise'our readers, an ardent admirer
of Gen. Mc'Clellan and Fitz John Portei.

"Within the last sir months over fourteen
thousand refugees have arrived city;
most of them utterly destitute, without a

upon the charity of our citizens. Since the
commencement of the war, probably two
hundred and fifty thousand souls have fled
from the Southern States and sought refuge
at the North."
