All other news Of yesterday is eclipsed
and thrown in the shade By the startling
intelligence from the East that the rebels
in large force have passed the northern
boundary Of Maryland, and having occu-
piod important points in southern Penn
sylyanis, are passing On towards Harris
burg. Lee has moved with his whole army
and is now in front Of General Hooker,
who is following rapidly after him. It isa
repetition Of tie movement Of last year.
We can but believe the figures given as to
the rebel force are exaggerated, but it is
highly probable that Lee is now stronger
than hc was when he made the cores
ponding movement in 1862, while Hook
cr's army is less in numbers than that
which opposed Lee in the short campaign
which gave US Antictam and South Noun
tain, suck have been the effects Of expir-
alton Of terms and the wear and tear Of
service.
1t is best the people should feel and
know the importance Of the crisis The
chief cities Of Pennsylvania are IN immi-
ncnt danger, the foe having heavy cav
airy force, and being prepared for rapid
movements through peaceful State, and
striking upon communities wholly defense
less. How critical is the situation isshown
by the call Of the President for ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND men for immediate
service, apportioning them 10 the several
States Threatened. The Governors Of
these States respond promptly, and under
the spur Of excitement and danger ut hand
these men will be speedily in the field.
THIS movement Of the rebels, though
nude in strong force can be but temporary.
Their purpose is plunder, and the moral
effect at home and abroad, insepa7able
rom the news OF the rebel invasion Of q
loyal State. OF this it is even now too
latc to deprive them. But it is attempted
at a risk So great that it threat
ems the safety of the entire rebel
army. They pay indeed 4 small
tribute to our army in thus coolly aban.
doning ali lines Of communication and
pressing forward We trust it will be in
the power Of our army to develope practi.
cally the full risk Of such IN undertaking
and cut of the encmy's retreat. With the
heavy mnssing Of troops before them rs
they advance, and the presence Of General
Hookcr's force On their real, no very trans

would seem necessary to make the attempt
afatal one for the rebels.
Of t11is great invasion one thing is Ger
