Vance is a gallant, tried and faithful o Ger, and
doubt not but they will be repulsed, should they

Gov Vance left for the West on yesterday, aud his
presence will rally the troops and the home guard,

no formidable advance has baen meditated.

The New York Tribune on the War

The New York I'ihune, in ar article up
on the ebel invasion of Pennsy lvania, saws:
"Now, we trust all is as it seems-that
Lee has quietly gathered and holds in hand
veteran army one hundred thousand
strong, and is pushing it across the Potion &C
with intent to bring the contest to an imme-
date issue. 1t is best for all sides that it
should be so. This war has dragged on
about long enough.
ave trust this invasion is meant to be
determined and decisive, and that it will
not be spoiled by premature recoil. If
the rebels are indeed our masters, let them
prove it and let US own it, If they are
not, let US make them acknowledge the
corn. We hope this demonstration, to-
gether with that of General Grant on Vicks-
burg, may be 30 managed as practically to
end the War. If we can now take Vicks-
burg aud Port Hudson on the one hand,
and use up Lees army on the other the Con-
iederacy will be pretty nearly played out:
1t, Oh the other hand. the rebels beat Grant
and water their horses in theDeleware, rout
ing the forces we can bring against them,
we shall be under foot, and may as we'll own
it."

Peunsy Hooker has pushed his
