wards William-port, and then 20 have
crossed the Potomac with $1,000 men aud
I7j pieces of artillery. The subsequent fl
hing heard at lIurper's Ferry leads to the
impression that this movement was made
for The purpose Of attacking tie latter
place, under the command of Col Miles.
Another account says that Longstreets
division is at llogcrstown, % TO 10000
strong, and that our pickets had been
driven across the line into Pennsylvania,
Another report says that Gen. Lee is at

of $4,000 in Maryland, and 22j, 900 in

1t was clearly :he general opinion that
the rebel force, whatever it was, had re-
crossed the Potomac into Virginia the lat,
ter part Of last week, and hence al! idea Of
an invasion Of Pennsylvania vanished and
a report prevailed that no more troops
were needed at Harrisburg. But this was
officially conlradicted BY the State au-
thoritioS on Sunday last. and the forward
ing Of troops urgently demanded. They
we're being forwarded up the Cumberland
valley as fast as they arri ed. A very
large force had been sent up, extending TO
Uhambersburg. Gen. Reynolds, who COM
manded portion Of the Pennsylvania RO
serves before Richmond is chief in COM
mand, and the utmost confidence is ielt
that, should the rebels attempt an inYs6'
sion of the State, their destruction is cer-
tain.
CrAcINNAri, Sept. IS Governor Todd
has ordered home the militia sent here for
the defence of the border. The Cincnna'
ii troops returned to the city this after
noon, Their services being no longer re-
quired in Kentucky, the force OF regular
troops there being sufficient for any emer-
gency. The streets are thronged with the
people to wp!eomG them homo.
The rebels are reported at Walton, TWEEN
ty III les south.
1t is reported Tonight that Charleston
Va, was evacuated and burned by our
troops, who are falling back towards the
Ohio.
Our NOMINEE to adjourn
mont the Democratic Conference, Of this
Senatorial district, re assembled IN Altoo-
ma, and after several ballots, nominated
William A. Wallace Esq, Of lcarteld.--
The nominee is good and relisebe Dem
UCTat, and his reputation is thIt Ufa FIRST
rate lawyer a sound reasoner, an eloquent
and SuaSiye speaker ard withal q ms Of
integrity and unswerving devotion 20 the
principles of the Dempcra,ic faith. We
are well satisfied with the candidate but
ourpreferences were for Cambria county
man and we ardentIy hoped and eagerly
expected the nomination of r. l.. John
ston. E.q.ss our nom inee for Senator, be-
cause we believe Cambria was entitled TO
the choice. We shall, however, abide 10y
the result and forgetting our preferences
will endorse the nomination and labor
zealously for the election OF Mr. Wallace
ana the entire ticket, believing that the
interests sfthe party are paramount over
our peIsoual wishes.-Dtm q. Sent.
