 TIE NEys.--The news this week is highly ex- citing and satisfactory. Lee has sent three divi- sons into Pennsylvania. On the Sth the feds on 'the Rappahannock were amused with troops cross ing and threatening to attack, when Hooker form ed lines of battle and began to prepare for fight Meanwhile Longstreet and Ewell passed up through Culpepper into Maryland and across into Pennsylvania. Longstreet's division is estimated by the northern papers at from ten to eighteen thousand. He attacked Milroy at Winchester on the 18th. In the battle which ensued Miroy lost 2,000. Gen. Trmble attacked the federal general McReynolds at Perryville, l2 miles east of Win chester, on the 18th. McR. fell back to Winches- ter, and on the 14th he and Milroy retreated to Harper's Ferry. One division entered Martins burg on the 14th. Chambersburg was taken at 9 a. m, on the 15th Hagerstown, Md, taken possession of on the 18th, and on that day there was severe battle at Culpepper, in which the federal general Wright was killed All the stores at Aquia Creek were being removed or destroyed and Hooker was falling back to Alexandria to avoid a flank movement. Lincoln issued proca nation calling for troops to serve six months to repe the invasion, as follows: Maryland, 10000. Penn., 5OOOO; Ohio, 30, 900; Western Va, 10, ,OOO. He also requests 20 ,000 from New York. Gov. Curtin, of Pa., has issued proclamation, and all Lincolndom is in uprOar To offset this the federals in lower Virginia made a demonstration on Richmond and their gunboats are ascending the James and Chickahominy rivers, while land force, under Keys, threatens to cross over from York river. We presume they will be attended to-.
 Morgan made one of his brilliant dashes in Somerset, Ky, killed 300, wounded and took pris oners 1000, destroyed stores and got some fine horses, He is on one of his active campaigns and cutting the federals to pieces in detail.
 We have great deal of news in relation to matters at Vicksburg, and find the following is about the substance of that which is ascertalned to be reliable On the 18th of Msy, Grant made three separate attempts to carry Vicksburg by storm, and failed with loss of killed and wound ed estimated at from twenty to thirty thousand He determined to try it again and gave orders for more ladders and fascines to be made, but men and officers refused to renew the assault. He then agreed to attempt take the city by seige. By cir culating stories among the men that Pemberton was exhausted of ammunition and finding that Johnston was about to dispute the possession of Haines' Bluff, he worked his men up to make another assault on the 8th, when he was again re- pulsed. On that day there stirring times. While the assault was being made, Gen. Walker, of Georgia, passed from Jackson into Vicksburg with his cavalry force, thus showing that the lines around the city are easily broken On the same dav Is, ,OOO federals crossed at Grand Gulf to at- tack Walker in Louisiana. There is really noth- inc known of Johnston's movements beyond the fact that he had large force at Yazoo City early in the month"; and held the temporary bridge thrown over Big Black on the road from Jackson to Vicks-
