THE LATEST NEWS.
The Rebel Movement at the East.
From the Chicaso Journal, June 18th.

The great center of interest now is the
region Of country embracing the Sbe"an-
doah valley, the Upper Potomac, Mary
land, and Southern Pennsylvania. The
army of the rebels, at last adviees Git is
now II o'clock noou) was scattered thro'
this region, advancing northward. Their
advance force had invaded Maryland,
and is reported to have reached and oc.
cuped Chambersburg, in southern Penn
syivania The reports are conflicting.
1t appears that there has been some
fighting Oh the Upper Potomac between
the rebels aud the small Union forces
under Gems. Milroy and McReynolds,
the result of which is rot definitely
known. Blu. if subsequent reports are
true. that the rebels have penetrated in
to Pennsylvania, our forces were no
doubt compelled to retreat before supe-
rior nun bers.
The design of the rebels is still mat
ter of surmise. In Western Pennsylva-
MIA the opinion is that the movement is
aimed against Pittsburg, while in other
quarters it is believed the rebels intend
to make slashipg rad through Penn
sylvania and Ohio, doing all the damage
possible. Others believe that the design
is to cut eff the communications of
Washington and of Hooker.
Lees movement is evidently one Of
desperation. designed moro as a bold
stroke of military daring, which will
have an inspiring effect South and furn-
ish capital to the secession agents abroad,
than as an achievement that will be at
tended by permanent military advantage.
The latter. from the circumstances Of the
case, will be impossible. The permanent
occupation of any part Of the Northern
States cenrot be fo, by Lee or Jeff Da-
yis. We have men enough at home, in
every Northern State, to repel any fierce
with which they may Invade the border
and they are we'll aware of the fact.
