Whether it is Lees intention to invade
Pennsylvania in force, or to enter the
Shenandoah Valley and make his way
thence into Western Virginia; whether
he means TO cross the Potomac and an
proach Washington on the Maryland
side, or whether, doing none of these
things, his purpose is to approach the
Capital in front and try the fortunes of
war again in another Bull Run battle,
and all that he has done thus far are
mere feints, it is idle to speculate, for no.
body but Lee knows. So far, it is proba-
BILE we have only heard of the movements
of the extreme advance of his army,
while the latest authentic accounts place
the main body on the march south of and
toward Front Royal That he is moving,
however, with his whole force, is evident
from Hooker's movements. A large por-
ton of his army has already moved to-
ward Warrenton, the camp opposite
Fredericksburg is by this time probably
altogether abandoned, his base is changed
from Acquia Greek to Alexandria, and
he has placed himself in position either
to meet Lee in any forward movement he
may make, or to follow him in any ad-
vance he may venture upon in any direc-
ton nerthward or westward. So much
is all that we positively know, or all that
it is proper to make public of the details
that have reached US of lockers move
ments. He keeps warily in Lees front,
and prudently awaits the development of
his plans.
A new campaign, and one perhaps
more momentous than any that have
preceded it, has opened in Virginia. On
the side of the Rebels it is of the last
Importance, and is intended, no doubt. to
cover by n brilliant movement on this
side of the Alleganies the critical condi-
ton of their affairs III the Valley of the
Mississippi On our side it must arouse
the whole people, and move the Govern:
ment to efforts that ought to strike the
Rebellion blow from which it can never

Hooker Falling Back On washing


New YoRK, June IA dispatch from
Headquarters Army of the Potomac, dated
June 10, to the Herald states: This morn
ing we started again and to- night the whole
country south of the Occoquan is left to the
enemy. 1t is reported that the. rebel cav
airy are at Chambersburg and that the en-
envy has appeared at Brooks Station five
miles from Aqua. The rebels will un-
doubleday follow us closely though 81 en-
gagement with the pursuing forces is not
anticipated. 1t .Eould probably be i'm
proper to state where our next line of de-
Tense will be established although the en-.
envy will doubtless know before the pub.
LEGATION of this letter, but Hooker is has
tentng with his entire army TO the defense
of Washington, aud will occupy a position,
best adapted to defeat the plans of Lee.
To day all isquiet, whether Lee will at.
tack US or attempt another experiment in
Maryland remains to be determined. In
a few hours we shall be ready for him and
the fate of the rebel army of Northern Yir-
ginia may be decided in as many days.
Lee undoubtedly has an immense force
between Warrenton aud Culpeper. and
those left at Fredericksburg Numbering
yearly 10000 will probably be added to
that army as soon as possible, The public
may be prepared for another grand strug-
gle near Washington or another grand az

ding US. They have come out where we
may strike With-Our whole strength mn
Tended blows. Now at last, by mere
change in the attitude of the rebels, the
true character of the war they wage stands
revealed more clearly than any mere words
could reveal it. It is aggressive. It as
saults the democratic government of the
people. 1t wars OF the liberties and prop
erty OF the people themselves, and threat
ems the utter destruction of both.
From the earliest days OF the Republic
the southern SHAREHOLDERS have eucroached
on the political rights of the people, and
by degrees usurped their government
The rebellion was bat carrying out by mill
itary sforce what had so long been prac-
Used by political compulsion. From the
day the FIRST gun was fred on Sumter, the
rebellion has been as strictly aggressive as
tits to day-as thoroughly invasive of the
rights of the whole country At last the
rebellion has assumed an attitude that il
Illustrates its purpose SO clearly that none
can fail TO see it. 1t means to subjugale
the whole country. 1t means to extin.
guish civil liberty on This continent and
substitute for 1t a detestable oligsrchy.
This last attempt, made 10 the very
agony of desperation, viii fail, and from
its failure will date the speedy downfall OF
the rebellion, and with it will perish the
dark demon that inspired it,

Contemplated Invasion of the North.
"A letter from Richmond of June I'd, in
the Atlanta Latsliigeneer, reports the cur
rent ruuor shat Lee was about to march

The writer says the Notifications of Wash

Maryland it is not probable that he will
Immediately make an attack on the we'll
defended capital of the Union, but upon
other places, with view to cut off its sup
plies, and thus, by stratOgem, ultimately
compel its surrender" Gov. Curtin, the
writer thinks, has not altogether neglected
the defence of Philadelphia; but, generally,
he considers that any Of the cities of the
North, owing TO the formerly prevalent
opinion there that thae section was safe
from invasion in any event, would fall an
easy preyt TO "Confederate" army. But
a succession of defeats has at last wakened
the North to consciousness of its dan

Rubicon, tear down the bridges behind
them, and move, with all the pomp and
circumstance Of bloody war, into the heart
of the enemy's country"

fierce oPponeut. have, for many days past,
been wrapped in profound mystery. The
air has been filed with rumors of all sorts.
and the soldiers, for at least n week, have

and decisive event. The intentions of the
rebel leaders to force our lines across into
Pennsylvania and Maryland have been
slowly but yet surely Fdiscerned by our
own generals who, it ia hoped, have effect

9Th Army Corps, who have been lying ut

balance were enabled to reach this side
without much loss. II is estimated that
the move cost our army about thirty or.
forty killed, aud double that number

entire army commenced TO move, for Ii was
