THE, WAR.

The " Invasion Of PENNEY ylvania" Is q startling
heading. but thus far tie invasion docs not amount
to nnnoh A hundred such iuvasions might be made
on each eide every month wihou, advancing either
cause an ioa frontier line of . 900 miles canno,
be strongly guarded at all points, and occasional
forays will naturally occur the offspring Of pure bra
vsdo, if nothing more. Getting into the hostile coun
try Is very easy, but getting ont is Tor ought to be
different affair. OF tbs rush by the Rebel cavalry
into Pennsylvania we have very complete accounts
force of two or three thousand, under the reDown
ed Stuart, crossed the Potomac at q point fai
above the right wing OF General MeClellan'
army. and pushei rapidly on through Mercers-
burg 10 Chambersburg, reaching there at ak
o'clock on Friday evening. About 500 entered the
town. the remainder remaining mile away. They
helped the emse,yes to boos, shoes, and co.lnlg
giving Confederate paper IN some cases for pay.
On Saturday Dorniog they burned the Cumberland
Valley Railrosd Depot and two warehouses
containing small quantity Of Governmeu, stores.
Then they reloined thsir main body and moved OF
toward gettysburg. They borrowed or exchanged
horses wherever they could, and seem to have been
entirely successful in getting such articles they
uost needed 10 violence was done 10 individuals
and no resistance wac made by the people, at least
until they had gone from ChaInbersburg. Near
Gettysburg some farmers entrapped ore Of the
mossroopers, and that var all tie resistance expo
rienced. There is rumor that they bad fight
when they crossed the Potomac, on Fxday mo-r-
ing but it is doubnul indeed the lace Of
their crossing is in doubt-some accounts say at
Hancock and others at Dam No. ,, several miles
below. One dispatch from Washington says that
Gen. Mcclellan telegraphed on Saturday 10 the
War Department that none O. the invading Rebels
would escape into Virginia. But the Associated
Press accounts from Harrisburg, received at 10
o'clock last night, Gid not justify this cxpec-
taron. 1t says that Rebels encamped al Emmetls-
burg, lin Maryland inst below the Pennsylvania
nel on Saturday night; that on Sunday
they were supposed 10 be moving on Carlile
Pennsylvania, and troops hastily sent tbither-
ward. To this dispatch was appended Later,"

Newmarket, and pushed or for the Potomac eas; Of
the Monocacy. Our cavalry was sad TO be IN pur-
sat, but would probably be TOO late. They might
be intercepted by Gen. Mcclellan, but that was
doubtful. Soon after TINS received special de-
patch from Monocacy Bridge ION the Baltimore and
