GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN SEPT. l6, 1862

The inyasion has apparently failed, however,
OF one thing. The rebels in Maryland do not
seem to have manifested such an ardent sympathy
with the rebel cause as to rush into Gen. Lee i
army 10 any numbers. They are ready to sell
provisions to his soldiers, to give them iniorma-
ton, and to assist them in thousand ways
short OF actually shoulderlng the musket, and
joining, his standards. II the invaders ex-
pected any great increase OF their fighting
strength by crossing the Potomac they have
been most signally disappointed and it is by
no means certain mat their movement westerly,
and away from Baltimore, IS not partly, if not
wholly chargea5le to this disappointment
But while we cannot blind ourselves to the
patent advantages which thia rebel movement
will bring to their cause temporarily, it has
thus lartocmcd. q t,c to be the most
hazardous and desperate play Of these conlede-
rate gamblers that could possibly be made and
one that can only succeed through The most Ut
ter ncapaclty Of those who have in charge the
management Of our forces and the conduct Of
the war. II they suffer Gen. Lees army 70
remain North of the Potomac Tor any length Of
time, and then to return again to Virginia, OF
leave for some other field Of operations, and 90
not substantially cut in pieces anu destroy It's
strength as an army, the rebels will gain all
they had any reason to hope for IN this invasion.
But il, on the other hand, they pursue fight and
destroy these invading traitors, then it must be
that we shall have the game all in our own
hands, and can turn the tables on the South, if
there be such a disposition in high places, with
Il vengeance 1t seems to an unmllitary observer
that, If we are any match for the South,
man for man genera for general, cabinet for
cabinet and President for President Septem-
Der, 1862, will prove the most disastrous month
that rebellion has yet seen, and the rebel nya.
ders will be welcomed by bloody hands 10
bospitable graves 1t is now not only question
of government, ii is question OF manhood
and 1t will be written OF us hereafter, If we
fail now, that we failed because we had not the
stuff, the manhood, the genius that could win
success. We shall then deserve the Judgment Of
our Southern enemies, and shall figure in his
tory as we shall deserve to, as an inferior race,
as mere peddling Yankees.

1t is by such courses an policy as above allud-
ed to- that the sympathes and and of four mil
lions OF colored people have thus far been driven
away from our side. How much longer it il to
be SO, we have no inclination to predict, but we
know it would be an infinitely greater labor 10
avail ourselves OF tho help Of the only loyal
portion Of the South to-day, than it would have
been one Gear, or eighteen months ago They
have watched the struggle, and have, 50 far as
their freedom is concerned seen little to
choose between us and cur enemies, until, we
fear, the golden opportunity Of making Slavery

but it viii not while rebel armies uudsturbad

County, In Middlesex the selecmen had or.

General afterwards found that the town had pre-

one hundred over its quota.

COMPULSORY CHEERING FOR THE UNION We
heard Capt Browns company, or AT least a
portion Of them, Friday evening, breaking the
usual monotonous quiet of our village by ring
ing cheers, aud nqairiug the cause, ascerMued
that they had been takitg in hand supposed
rebel sympainizer, one of the grand jury in at.
tendance on The court, and had heer very ur-
gently persuading him to voluntarily give three
cheers Tor the Union The precise rersuasions
used we have not learned, but we understand
they proved enectual in ,he ease. The Boys,
being anxious 10 do what they could 70 suppress
rebellion, began With this as their first case and
their success was quite Aatteriug We hope the
conversion vail prove permanent one, as We
think it will, while those who assisted in the
work remain ia town.

The Rebel Invasion of Loyal States.

What the rebels are attempting now on a
large scale, is in some doubt, nasmuch as they
are not kind enough to post us up in their in
tentions they have crossed into Maryland in
large force. A part Of this force is invading
Pennsylvania, and another part OF it is moving
toward Baltimore, Washington, liarpers Ferry,
or somewhere else. We are told every little
while that Washington is safe, and this state
ment has some probability inasmuch as nearly
all our troops are kept IN that immediate ycin-
ity for the purpose of keeping it safe. What
is being dona, however, beyond defending Wash
ington, is not made known. Gov Curtin and
Gov. Tod, are taking active measures TO defend
their respective States, and the Government
seems disposed to let them do so. We are also
informed that some loyal citizens of Maryland
are arming to repel the invaders Of their soil
The rebels thus far in Maryland have met
with no opposition. and yet they are but 40
miles from Washington. Weare told, however,
that all that succeed in getting across into Ma.
rynud, if they are only allowed to stay ther
until the Potomac RISES, will not be able to get
back, aud will surely be captured. This Is a
comforting prophecy, though we doubt some
what the policy of waiting for this high water.
However, we suppose our government knows
what it is about, and we hope to hear soon that
this invasion Of loyal States has been severely
punished 1t won't sound well abroa unless
it is made to terminate in great disaster to the
rebels If we expect to prevent rebellion from
getting recognition abroad, we think little ac-
tivlty in repclling invasion may be seryiceable.
