An Alarm !!
HARRISBURG, June li

HARRISBURG, June Is.
Lee is moving in force on Pennsylvania
he has defeated our people at Wincheste
and Msrtinsburg, and part of his army
now At Hagerstown. The President hs
called on Pennsylvania for fifty thousan
volunteers to check the Rebel movement
The men 30 called to serve six months,
net sooner discharged, to be clothed an'
paid by the United States, and to be credl
on the draft. Our people should respont
promptly or large part of our State will
be laid waste by the invaders.
A. 6. CURTIN.
How large an army is advancing up th'
Vslley of the Virginia, is unknown, ant
how many We have to stop their progress
along the Potomac it would not be wis'
TO tell if it was known. II is evidently
the dictate of sound policy and common
prudence to arouse and meet the enemy
en- their own ground, or at the threshold
Force must be met by force, and the crisi:
again calls for the Sons of Freedom to
stand the shock, and hte earlier The JeHcr
Every true man, of every party, must
nov see that the delusious of "Peace'
and "compromi.s" are idle and foolish :
the Rebels must be subdued, or they will
suhjug.,e US /: that 10 the only issue. A
gallant Union rally ssain, aud the desper.
ate horde would return much smaller than
they came. Our lower Potomac army
will not be idle.
n@-The Government has taken posses,
sion of the Telegraph lines for the present.
That Cavalry Triumph.
Last Tuesday morning, part of Gen.
llooker's army, on upper Rappahannock,
completely surprised the Rebels, who had
been consolidating in a North Westerly
direction. II was almost entirely cavalry
encounter-the Union forces being 5000
in all, and the Rebels 1000 Attacking
them in the dark, ss our three Generals
(Pleasan'on, BufOrd and Gregg did, they
had the advantage. Tho light was mostly
hand to hand, our men using their sabres
with great effect, driving the Rebels out
of their entrenchments, six miles in all.
This wac sharp engagement, causing
heavy losses on both sides-tbe Rebels
undoubtedly suffering most. Among the
Union officers lost is the noble Col Davis,
Of Mississippi-said to be relative of the
traitor jeff
Gen. Gregg We understand is DAVID
MN. GREGG, of Center Co., some time in
the University a, Lewisourg. Among the
prisoners taken by bis force, is an Aid of
Gen. Stuart, who says that Stuart was
among them, but in plain dress, and our
citizens might have captured him if he
had dressed like peacock as too many Of
our officers do. But quite a number of
Stuart's documents and important papers
were found with the plunder Of Gregg's
men, and among them evidences that an
expedition was on foot towards the States
of Maryland and Pennsylvauia. In fact,
it is stated that Stuart was to have started
that very morning! If SO, the unexpected
attack Of our horsemen, and the defeat,
decentralization and disarrangement of plan
Of the Rebels, have been a great disaster
to the Rebel cause. Now let there be a
sufficient rally Of Minute Men for Home
Defence, and we may reap and eat the
fruits Of another Harvest without invasion
