The Latest War News.

ne papers OF Tuesday evening tell us oil
The invasion of Maryland by the Rebel
troops. and that large force are entering
the State of Pennsylvania near Hanover,
York county. The rebels are said 20 be
coming in our State al that point with the
intention of destroying The Northern Gen.,
trail Railroad. The rumor that they are,
making an advance upon Hager-,own Il;
not confirmed by the papers. That the
rebels are at Frederick, Maryland, in force
OF 10000 is pretty well sustained II ap--
pears that they purchased all the shoes they
could find in that place and paid for the
same in Confederate scrip.
The rebels are reported, by dispatch re-
ceived at this place, to be in Pennsylvania
with force of 10000 troops and 200
pieces of Artillery. 1t would seem that
they were making their way TO Harrisburg

prise. 1t is true so far, in making the inva-
sion, they have met little opposition bn;
remember our Generals are not asleep. If
they do not bag the enemy it will be won-
der to US. The rebel forces will not be
able to get back as easy as they came in or
we mistake the character of our Generals.

II Is believed that the rebels have cross

Stonewall Jackson had entered Leesburg
with his troops, and was pushing towards
Harper's Ferry; aud Longsireet with con-
siderable iorce, was marching ih the same

The rebels are well supplied with artil-

More State Prisoners.

Our town was startled on Friday evening
last by The announcement that Mr.. Ira Da-
venport, of Plymouth, had been arrested
and lodged in Jail in this borough, by Agib
Ricketts,, Esq, Chief OF Police. We tried
in vain TO ascertain the charge against MIR.
Davenport, but could learn nothing further
.han that il had been done in pursuance of
the recent order of the War Department,
clothing all Chiefs of Police with authority
to arrest persons who were suspected OF
disloyal practices, discouraging enlist
ments, sc.
Later in the evening two other arrests
were made, viz George Kulp, Register
Of The county, and E. B Chase, District At
torney. They also were committed TO pris.
on. All three ofihem peiitioGed for hear
ing before Judge Conyngham on writ OF
habeas corpus. The Judge granted the hear
ing, and they were accordingly taken be-
fore his Honor on Saturday morning, when
the Chief of Police declined 10 m axe his
answer until the expiration of the time al.
lowed him-three days-during which he
could communicate with The War Depart
ment. The Judge then postponed the
whole proceedings until this morning at
o'clock-holding the prisoners in bail in
the sum of $500 each for their appearance
None OF these men know what they are
imprisoned for, nor who are their accusers
-and probably never will They are all
prominent Democrats, and so far as we
know, most worthy and loyal citizens.

Washington, Sept. b 1t is believed in
military circles here that The rebels have
eros sed in some force this side OF the Point
OF Rocks, and subsequently, for the most
part, rereated back into Virginia, as though
hesitaiing to make the experiment of trying
10 get ooihold in Maryland.
We have rumors of an engagement asI
evening at Harper's Ferry, which probably
grew out of the fact that The rebels yesler
day threw a few shells across the river al
canal boats, &C., which however did no
damage.
Gen. Mcclellan and staff are laboring
night and day, with intense industry 10 get
the whole army soon into the best possible
condition.
Large masses of our troops continue TO
be marched night and day, 10 positions
within striking distance of the rivers lords,
the delay OF the rebels in making their ex
pected effort having accorded the necessary
time in which to make due preparation !or
their reception wherever .hey may appear
in threatening numbers.
II battle occurs in this region, shortly,
the rebels must meet more than twice as
many disciplined troops as were massed
against Them under Gems Pope and Burn
side, besides The very heavy force OF new
levles that have been arriving here for three
weeks past, by thousands daily.
In the course OF last night small body
OF rebel cavalry is said to have made a raid
on the front, opposite Balls Cross Roads,
tap,uring twenty-five N Y cavalry and a
small train o. wagons the latter being re-
taken from them by Federal scouting cav
airy force ere they could run it off.
