els already in Maryland.
The rebel army under Gen. Lee is all
this side of the Rappahannock, said to
be 10000 strong, having been reinforced
from North Carolina and the Blackwa-
ter. The object is to invade the free
states. and the rebel advance guard on
Sunday had advanced into Maryland
and were at Hagerstown, while in the
Virginia Shenandoah valley they APP
neared in considerable force. Our au.
,borities have had full and early intelli-
pence, and Gen. Hooker's army has been
on the move to intercept the rebels for
some days, having been largely reinfor-
ced from the peninsula and other points.
One hundred thousand militia have also
been called out to serve for six months,
and the state authorities of Pennsylvania
are wide awake to protect that state.-
We have no direct official intelligence,
but by news from private sources there
has already been some warm work with
the advancing enemy. The following
is the proclamation of president Lincoln
calling out the militia -

TEE ADVANCE OF THE REBELS.
Dispatches received at Harrisburg
on Monday, from the operators at Cham
bersburg and Hagerstown, give the in
formation of negroes, who have arrived
there, to the effect that the rebel cavalry
arrived at Perrysville and Martinsburg
about noon on Sunday, and at the latter
place there had been considerable hard
lighting. Gen. Milroy was contesting
the advance of the rebels. Telegraph
communication is destroyed between
Winchester and Martinsburg, the lines
having been broken by the rebels about
ii o'clock Sunday morning. Gen. Rey-
nolds has been driven by large force Of
rebels from Perrysville 10 Bunker Hill.
The enemy are also at Winchester
The tidings from Muddy Branch and
Nolan's ferry indicate that warm work
has been going on there. The capital
and principal cities and towns of Penn
sylvania are in absolute danger.
AS there are some objections to the
present plan of operations, by the in
structions of the governor, COL Scott
started for Washington on a special
train Sunday evening, to urge upon the
national authorities such a modification
Of the plan as will suit the views of the
people. To this proposition no reply
can be obtained yet. The government
will no doubt accede to it. The indi-
cations are that capitalists VIII advance
the money to pay the military, trusting to
the general government for reimburse
ment. The convalescent soldiers at
Harrisburg and in the interior of the
State are are being organized and armed.
Every arrangement for the quick trans
portation of troops to Harrisburg has
been completed under the direction of
Gen. Couch.
