nnonading was heard at Frederick that evening, and that Gen. Wallace had repulsed every effort of the Confederates to take the town. A telegram from Sunday Book, dated the night of the 7th, says the bridge over the Shenandoah was in flames. Hunter is moving from Western Virginia, Couch is organizing the Pennsylvania militia, and Wallace is defending Frederick. Great excitement in Harrisburg — the New invasion — Stampede from Maryland. A special correspondent at Harrisburg, July 5, very great is pretty well indicated in the fact that, with all the forces of cavalry they are represented as having, Sigel escaped with but very few captures. It is hardly probable that more than one-third or one-half of the forces sent against Hunter, at Staunton and Lynchburg have advanced northward with this mythical "host." Sigel now has a sufficient force to help himself if he will. He holds Harper's Ferry, and there is little doubt but that his forces are able to keep the place aga

was real danger until "the cannon's opening roar" was heard at the gates. Washington is absorbed in the great work of "money getting," and its denizens are not to be turned from their worship of Mammon. It is very difficult to get at the exact truth of all the rebel movements in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry. Most of their movements have been greatly exaggerated, and their whole force is probably not over ten thousand men, and more likely not exceeding seven thousand. Telegrams from York, Harrisburg, and the Cumberland Valley, state that the excitement among the people is more intense than during any previous invasion. Hundreds of men, women and children have passed through York on their way to the Susquehanna, and the roads were lined with horses, cattle, and wagons, loaded with goods and provisions, being driven in the same direction. Many have hidden their stores and cattle in the mountains. The excitement at Chambersburg this morning, on hearing that Hagerstown was oc
Lincoln (search for this): article 1
son, member of the Federal Congress from the 11th District of Illinois, has written a letter to his constituents, declining a re-election. In it he characterizes Lincoln's administration as "much more than a failure"--It is infamous, imbecile, and corrupt. There is but one hope for "the country — a feeble hope, if is true — and that is a change of administration." The election of Lincoln; or a man who endorses his policy, renders re-union impossible. He says: Every dollar now being expended by the President is treasure thrown away; every soldier who falls beneath our country's flag, from this time forward dies in vain. Every step which the Governme leave. It is rumored that Sigel has been removed from his command. Gen. R. E. Lee's personal property is all to be sold at Washington on the 19th. Lincoln has appointed the 4th of August as a day of lasting, humiliation and player. In the case of Gen. Dix, (for suspending the World and Journal of Commerce, we p

Harrisburg,July 7.--A rebel prisoner captured in a skirmish at Hagerstown, states that the present raid is not only to procure horses, but crops and provisions; that it is headed by Lee and composed of Ewell's and Longstreet's corps, and is an effort to invade Pennsylvania and other Northern States--The capture of Baltimore and Washington are also aimed at. While Lee is thus operating against Washington city, Beauregard has been left in command at Petersburg, where he has sufficient force, so our rebel informant states. Another telegram says: Parties who have a fair reputation for veracity, and who have lately arrived here, state that Bushrod Johnson had crossed the Potomac with about three thousand men, the advance of a column of forty thousand under Ewell. One gentleman, who is well known hereabouts, goes so far as to state that he shook hands with Gen. Johnson at Williamsport. Another

It is certainly in opposition to the feelings and wishes of his officers. As to the matter of room, Mr. Dayton informed me before I left Paris that he had telegraphed to Capt.

Mr. Dayton informed me before I left Paris that he had telegraphed to Capt. Winslow that the St. Louis would arrive at Cherbourg in a few days from the Mediterranean, and could take most of the prisoners on board. That Captain Winslow believed he was acting for the best of course I firmly believe. Still I think he acted very unwisely and injudiciously. The fifteen wounded men are in the hospital, and are attended to by the surgeon of the Kearsage and by the surgeon of the Rappahannock, who came over from Paris yesterday. I have not y

At a quarter past eleven it was observed that Captain Semmes had altered his opinion in relation to the prowess and skill ofge on board their English tender. It is generally supposed that Capt Semmes escaped in this yacht, although among the officers of the Kearsawas alongside the Alabama shortly before her departure, and that Capt Semmes put on board of her his chronometer and other articles of value.d at Cherbourg expressly for the purpose of aiding in the escape of Semmes in case, as he did, he should get the worst of the fight.

n during any previous invasion. Hundreds of men, women and children have passed through York on their way to the Susquehanna, and the roads were lined with horses, cattle, and wagons, loaded with goods and provisions, being driven in the same direction. Many have hidden their stores and cattle in the mountains. The excitement at Chambersburg this morning, on hearing that Hagerstown was occupied, and that the rebel cavalry were advancing on Greencastle, is represented as most intense. Gov. Curtin had started for Gettysburg on the 7th, but was telegraphed to return when about fifteen miles from Carlisle, as the road was not safe. Whoever the Confederate General in command may be, it would seem from the following telegrams that he is levying on the towns and "raiding" on the roads pretty heavily: Philadelphia,July 7.--A man from Hagerstown, just arrived at Greencastle, says McCunsland's command; formerly Jenkins's, 10,000 strong, cavalry and mounted infantry, and one battery,

Lincoln has appointed the 4th of August as a day of lasting, humiliation and player. In the case of Gen. Dix, (for suspending the World and Journal of Commerce, we presume,) Gov. Seymour has given orders that the militia force of the State be increased 75,000 men. The Inquirer asks what will be the issue? Will Gov. Seymour order out the militia to execute his process and arrest Gen. Dix, and will the latter resist with the military power of the United States? The Herald commenting upon causes for Yankee grief says: The budget of burdens now submitted to the people of the loyal States comprises a double income tax, heavily increased taxes of all other descriptions, direct and indirect, and upon everything useful or ornamental, excepting whiskey on hand — which seems to be harder to reach than Richmond — and then comes, perhaps, ano
