chased at the cost of honor, is more than we can
comprehend, except on the theory that the Tri-
bune recognises in the Southern leaders the men
who are its natural masters, and therefore seeks
in advance of coming beneath their power, to con-
cliate their favor and cemency by running to
make its humble submissions. Brave men may
be overtaken by defeat; only those who wish to be
defeated familiarze their minds with the thought
of it before it comes
We have thus sought to refresh the memory of
the Tribune by recalling its near and remote ante
cedents on the subject of secession and the war,
that when it next undertakes to speak from the
best of its recollection" it may at least be able
to speak in more consistency with ITSELF if not with
greater justice to others. We shall not interfere
with its plaintive cries for arbitration or for
the best attainable peace" even such peace as
1t is willing, under given circumstances, to take
from acknowledged " masters" but we must beg
that it will hereafter speak for itself and not for U.S.
when it talks about those who would or would not
put down what it calls 'sslaveholders' rebellion"

A LARGE REBEL FORCE IN MARYLAND.

From me baltimore american Of yesterday morning
we learn iroui Major Gen. Schencks Headquarters
mat Information was received last evening from his
scouts. ON the South Mountain that the rebel Gen
Ewelrs entire force is now 10 the Boonsboro Valley
numbering moi less than urtyfDe TO forty thousand
These scouts state that they approached the mountains
within view OF the enemys encampments and certain
that they do not exaggerate his strength.
Inc rebels were scouting through the surrounding
country and gathering supplies and forage They crossed
al Antetam Ford and appeared to be settled down for
leng hened occupation There were no indications of
movement in the direction of Frederick but their forag
log parties were securing the country the Penn
syvana line The scouts also report that the rebels are
building bridges the canal indicating preparations
for the advance of the whole army to facilitate their
rapid exit if it should prove necessary.
Our dispatches from the Cumberland Valley state that
Chamoersburg has again been occupied by the rebels and
as Cen Couch was not in sufficient force to meet them,
his advance has fallen back in the direction OF Carlisle to
the main body of his troops
There can be doubt that the intention of Gen. Lee
to occupy Western Maryland forage in Pennsy vana and
risk another great battle with the Army of the Potomac
ia the vicinity Of Antietam and South Mountain The
course of Gen. Hooker in this aspect of affairs has
not yet been developed but it is to be presumed that
will follow Lee the Potomac crossing probably in the
vicinity Of the mouth of Monocacy and at once occupy
Frederick county The occupation of Frederick is pro-
badly the advance Of this movement and stirring times
may again be expected in Maryland
FROM CUMBERLAND

was about to against the force Of rebels under
boden about three thousand strong the vicinity of Great
Cacapon, near Hancock. The city of Cumberland was
occupied yesterday by Gen. Kelley and has suffered but

with his rebel army, made his appearance on Shrivers
HILL short distance below town. Wednesday morning
last, about O'Clock. After cavalry had retreated
COL Imbcden sent flag of truce into the city and asked
surrender, which granted without any hesitancy.
The rebels marched into the town about O'clock ard
went out about i o'clock No damage was done to the
city or the citizens The Government commissary stores
were not burnt the rebels orbearng for fear the town
would be involved in the confagration.
VISIT OF MAJOR GENERAL HALLECK.
The Generalin Chief unex pectedy appeared in Bat-
more yesterday Accompanied by Major Gen. Schebck
and Staff he proceeded to inspect the preparations for
fence in and about the city. After rapid yet evidently
close inspection, Gen. Halleck expressed himself pleased
with the works-indeed surprised at the rapdity with
which the defances had been planned and executed He
