A Big Scare.

excitement, by the LYING reports
of our telegraph lines, which
said the rebels under Gen. LEE
were invading our State. The
most extravagant and unreliable
rumors passed over the wires,
which seemed to frighten our
people, many of whom are in
telligent enough to know better;
but somehow or other, they
seem to give way under the
lying breath of the telegraph
wires. We don't believe that
there was, or is any danger, or
that the rebels contemplate
entering the interior of this
State. The Administration at
Washington, has been guilty
of circulating falsehoods the
most willy, for purpose which
is left for the people to conjec-
ture. The Administration is
responsible for this wholesale
lying, and again deceiving the
people
Dem. d; Sent
1t requires no glariug capitals to render
the meaning of the aboee extract apparent.
Disaffection and Treason are so plainly
stamped On every syllable of it, that he
who runs may read and understand. And
what shall We say to the vile irgrate who
enunciates the sentiments it contains p
This that he is disgrace to the Patri-
otism and common sense Of the Mountain
County. While the Union of our fathers
is. in deadly peril through the machina-
tions Of Traitors-while the fair fabric of
our liberties is shaken from turret to
foundation stone, and our dearest and
best interests involved-while the rebels
are actually invading our State and are
advancing rapidly towards its Capital,
robbing our citizens of their money, their
horses and their cattle, burning and
destroying private property not
only that, but robbing the State of its own
citizens,-yet, i'll the face cf all these
facts, the ostensible editor of the Dem d;
Sent. stands coolly by and tells us there
is no truth in these reports, that it is all
an Administration lie, and that the
!. administration is trying to dupe and
deceive the people. The hostility of the
Uen,. &c Sent. to the Administration
becomes daily more apparent The mis-
creants who scribble for that journal seem
80 have thrown of all disguise in the
premises, and come out openly and above
beard as the champion of JEFF DAVIS
aud his spurious Confederacy.
Hear the vile traitor pratc When the
invading foe is marching with rapid
.trides into our State, ravaging the country
ut Chambersburg, at Gettysburg, and at
many other places, and while our gallant
Governor is calling for aid to save tho
Capital of Pennsy lvapia, from those
infuriated demons who are determined 70
overthrow Cur noble Government, and
while many are responding cheerfully to
the call of the Governor, this veritab:c
editor Of the Dem G Sent. cries out-Oh
cont be alarmed, it's nothing but big
icARE-an Administration LIE there is
20 danger Of the rebels invading Penn
tyiyania; and thus tries to delude and
deceive Tie people, and and also deter
those from rushing to the rescue of our
State who seemed iEclined to 90. In his
issue of July lst, he says: ave still
have rumors of rebels and rebel raids
being in Pennsylvania but they are SO
conflicting and contradictory chat little
reliance is to be placed upon any OF them,"
still endcavoring to carry out the idea
that there are 30 rebels yet in the State;
eounselnS he people not be alarmed /; as
ii is only big SCARE gotten up by the
Admin stration Cor purpose which is
lett for the people to conjecture.
