The invasion OF pennsylvania.

The Invasion OF Pennsylvania.
The invasion Of Maryland and Penn
sylvania by the rebel cavalry ought not
to surprise any intelligent person. ThOFe
is an exposed boundary Of near four
hundred miles, across which bodies OF
horsemen can cross aud recross, almost
without interruption, for tho space Of
few days. The question is not whether
such expeditions can be made; we know
that they can; and that nothing but an
unbroken standing army, or wall high
er than that which engirdles China could
prevent them. The query is, can the
rebels afford 10 make them under all diff
ficulies which Cypress them 2 We think
not. Unless the people Of the North are
a wretched set of poltroons, the rebels
can never 20 very far into the Interior
or il they do they will never return.
Invading a donsely populated country
like the Middle States is q very different
enterprise from invading q comparative
wilderness like the Southern States. The
Northern people have booted so long at
the idea Of an invasion, however, that
they have devoted but little attention to
the war, The army has not made per-
ceptible diminution of their numbers,
aud they have been spending their days
in eating and drinking merrily, and ma
king money, and looked upon the awful
civil war which is raging on this side Of
the Ohio, as IL 1t were war in Russia
Hungary, or Poland. II Stuart's inva-
sion shall break up this indifference, by
destroying q few millions of property
the lesson will not be too dearly bought
Anything is better than indifference ant
apathy.
This movement Of the rebels Ia per
haps necessity. The situation of Vicks
burg alarms them. It's loss would be
terrible blow, and the capture of Penn
bertons army must be ayerted, If posi-
bic, by compelling the Government I
withhold further reinforcements fror
Grant.
The people may now see the sbsolut
necessity of the Enrolment Act. If tn
Administration had enforced it promptly
It would have no delay in throwing d
immense army upon the invading rebels
We hardly touched tho gigantic militar.
strength of the Republic, and our della
and hesitation are highly censurAble.
We fear no bad results, however, froI
the invasion; we rather look for good I
come of it. War is an unpleasant sub
ject TO think upon, but 1t is upon us, an
around us on every side, and we must 10
hold Of it, whether we like it or not, (
else we must perish. The country mul
now act precisely as man would wi
was aroused by warning that his hout
!, is on fire. All hands must go TO woi
and save the Commonwealth. Providen'
does not mean that we shall be an excel
, ton to all other nations, and walk on
path Of roses. Like Christian on b
Pilgrimage, we must face lions, fight vii
dragons, climb steep mountains and wa
through the very Valley and Shadow
Death, before we enter into the good
land of freedom and Of rest.

citizens Of Grayson, for no other crime
than being q Union man. Mr.. Dirbin
and Mr.. Rucker lived about two miles
apart, and had always been friendly as
neighbors, though Rucker is a rebel.
Dirbin was at Fuckers house they day
before the gHerrillas made their appear

Editor of The Nashville Union:
IpropOse to give you a small sketch Of

bis noble regiment, and started for Kit

king persons give up their money, etc.

"Mnn proposes, but God disposes,"
says the old proverb. JEFF. Davis told
the South at frst that not a single Fed
erhl soldier would cross the line when
she had set up ss an Independent nation.
Then he told the people that the war
would not last six months. Mr.. Seward
said the war would DO sixty or ninety
days job, and the President began the
suppression Of the rebellion by calling
for 70, 600 men. The fact Is that great
men, and men in power, are not half 30
powerful and great as they suppose, or as
the world supposes when a great trial
like the present comes upon the nation.
Revolutions are tho work, the effect OF
ideas, and the ideas belong TO the null
titude, not 10 one, or two, or dozen
great men. Indeed, the great men Of
revolutions are those who truly and fully
ombody the great thought and feeling of
the millions.
This is revolution. Stephens, the great
mind of the rebellion, declared that the
"ooRHER. STONE" Of the Confederacy was
slavery; in other words, slavery is the
animating idea of the rebellion. A Rich-
mond journal boasts that this idea is in
opposition to the spirit of the age, and il
to the spirit Of the age how much more
to the spirit of the Western world, which
is pre- eminently one of freedom9 The
idea of slavery has met in death Crap
pie with it's antagonistic idea Of freedom.
One or The other must perish. There is
no possibility Of compromise or alliance
any longer between the two principles. II
is a deadly war; "war TO the knife and
the knife to the hilt." The battle has been
fully inaugurated, and II may as well be
fought out, until the question at issue b,
forever settled. Suppose great battle
were to como of, and q great victory
were TO crown the banner Of either par
ty; peace might be patched up, bu
everybody would feel that no result hac
been attained, aud in less than year, tht
contest would break out furiously again
Fernando Wood and Valandighsm coulc
not make twelve months peace, if theJ
were in power at Washington. The ide'
of the second great American revolution
will run its course and develop itself, il
spite of defeats, or victories, or armisti
ces, or hollow treaties. Generals maj
rise and disappear, but they are only in
struments and agents Of the work who's
consummation is in the hands Of an over
ruling Providence. Atpresent IL look
very much as though the memorabl
speculation Of President Madison, res
peoting the black race, were about to b
fulfilled and as though Providence mean
that they should work out their destiny
with their own hands. We do not be
lieve that Napoleon himself could win
decisive victory In a country 30 vast an
comparatively wild as ours, for ther
