DAsrARDLY OUrRAGE.-A gentleman who
visited the Soutsern border of our state, re-
iates the following most outrageous proce-
dings, of the rebels who invaded Pennsylvania !:
'.After the rebel cavalry left Chambersburg,
on their way towards Getty sburg, when about
ten miles distant from the former place they
met large funeral procession, which they
ordered to come to halt. Dismounting from
their own no rses, they selected forty-tbree of
the best horses in the proce ssion and amongst
them the horse attached to the hearse. No
violence was used, but, on the contrary the
greatest politenes was displayed towards the
surprised mourners. At length one OF the
funeral escorts demanded to know by whose
orders their horses were thus taken. The reply
was :ssBy order Of Gen. McClelIan-they are
wanted for the army. ."iAs soon as the horses
were properly secured by their captors, they
pursued their way to the Potomac, leaving
the afflicted friends to find their way with the
corpse to the place of buriala as they best might.

RAYMOND, of tho Now Yorh Times

Raymond, ofthe New York Times
made use of the following language,
ON the 22d Of February. These 90
day prophets are becoming too
much like the Millorito prophets OF
twenty years ago 10 excite more
than ridiculc:
Sixty days from this time, there
will be nothing like II rebel Govern
ment in the Southern States that
can rally to its support any consid-
cradle number even OF the Southern
people. If they can maintain them
selves for that time, think l may
quote the highest military authori-
ty of the land for the opinion that it
will be the only instance in history
where, under circumstances SO adj
verse, that feat has been accom-
plished. Surrounded on every side,
the heart OF their resources broken,
their own steps destroying them,
what have they to tall back upon,
except the Gulf, which will envelop
them even sooner taaI ii they stay
where they are
bay Notwithstanding the circu m
stances, according to this sage
prophet, were SO adverse, Il short
time before the prophecy WAS to
have been fulfilled, our gallant little
army, met the Yankee and Hessian
hosts on the Tennessee, and thrash
ed them most numerically We
have yet a government and q well
organized army, whilst the proph-
cts army is disorganized and scat
tered to the four winds. Verify, this
was q prophecy over the left. Six
ty days seems to be a favorito peri
cd with Yankee prophets. In sixty
days from the commencement, ao-
cording to Yankee prophecy, the
rebellion" was to be crushed, and
the South subjugated-but they
say" we are still alive and like to
do well.
