Gen. Lees shin gton or
Richmond the Impending Issue.

We nave AT length received something more
than general belief in regard to the move
ments of the rebel army Of Virginia The
very interesting letters from our Harper's
Ferry and Baltimore correspondents, which we
publish this morning, remove all doubts upon
the subject. Making due allowance for the
probable exsggsratiops Of the rebel prisoners.
whose statements are furnished in our letter
from Maryland Heights. We have no doub,
that upon the main point of the movements of
General Lees forces this testimony IL substan-
TALLY correct II is thus manifest that. in view
Of the desperate extremities OF the rebellion.
General Lee has been sent forward upon the
desperate enterprise Of recovering all that has
been lost OF losing all that remains. Of
saving or sinking the cause of JEFF Dsvk in a
campaign against Washington.
II further appears that one-half of this aq.
gressive army two days ago was on the north
eide Of the Potomac, in Maryland and Pennsv,.
vania, and that the other half, Immediately
under the eye Of General Lee, was some thirty
miles south Of the Potomac in the Shenandoah
valley. His whole army, In . military seose

Of Lee beyond the Potomac, is essential TO bic

THE DESIGNS OF LEE AND THE GExERArsHIp OF
HooKER.-On Thursday, in the principal edito-
rial article, we showed that the advance corps
Of Lees army had actually crossed into Mary
land, and that the sum of ell the information in
our possession showed that he was about to
strike at the railroad communications between
Washington and the North so as to isolate
Hooker and domineer over Pennsylvalia and
Maryland, or compel the Union general to
come out from the forti6cations Of the federal
capital and fight general battle. As to the
generalship of Hooker we said.-
By . bold and rapid movement of the rebel general

Lee, without any considerable oss, has succeeded In
making circuit around right flank Of the Union arny
and getting in the rear Of Washington.
The Tribune Of yesterday, adopting these
views, says
IL is urged against the probability Of the suggested
movement upon the railways between Harrisburg, Bat

spects more dangerous than this. From Fredericksburg

Thus the Tribune not only endorses our
views about the designs of Lee, but the
incompetency Of Hooker. who has permit.
ted himself to be completely outgeneraled
by the rebel chieftain But, having come
to the conclusion that Hooker is not the
man to cope with Lee, why does not the
tribune urge upon the government to recall to

man who did successfully cope with him-Gene-
raj McClellan-whose removal is the chief cause
of the present invasion. and Of the two disasters

The PANIC or HORACE GREEIEY-The Tribune

legion against the foes Or is he prepared to
become meek and loyal subject Of JEFF Davis,
and to eat all he ever said about niger

But why is Greeley so scared Lee has not
yet crossed the Susquehama, much less the
Delaware and the Hudson. New York is still
safe. Why is our philosopher so anxious about
his own personal security 1t is because he is
conscious that he aud his radical fellow con.

had sufficient time to bring up tho whole Army
OF the Potomac within supporting distance Of
Harpers Ferry; and. from the very fact that
our troops there have been and are engaged in
strengthening their defences ON Maryland
Heights, we conclude that they will not be
left this time unsupported, whatever may be
the force which Lee may bring against them.
AS matters now stand. the advantages of the
situation. as between Hooker and Lee, are de-
cidedly in favor Of Hooker; for, 30 long as he
holds Hsrper's Ferry, with his army in good
supporting distance, he is in position from
which he may either arrest the advance Of Lee
towards Washington or out of his retreat
From the reserves of Heintselman at Washing

Halleck, we have no doubt, can bring one hun

Governor Curtin, under the exigencies Of the
occasion, ought to be able to bring forward bis

proclamation will doubtless give increased
activity to tho movements of Lee, and vigilance

the day at Warrington. Lee has resolved to
risk the loss Of Richmond to capture Washing

which can save the rebellion, the rebels, in 70.

All our advices from Washington, however,
lead u to believe that our military authorities
there feel confident that our capital is safe
against all possible contingencies, or that
otherwise our thirty or forty thousand troops
in Southeastern Virginia and In North Caro-
lima would have been called away. We hope
that they have been ordered to practical d.
version under General Dix, which Of itself will
soon relieve Maryland and Pennsylvania Of
their rebel invaders. The administration has
forces sufficient around Washington to destroy
the army Of Lee; Pennsylvania, with the
twenty regiments of our State militia which
Governor Seymour has sent to her relief, Is
surely competent to repel the enemy, at least
from the Susquehanns. All the advantages of
the situation on every side are with us, and
this audaciOus invading army of Lee can only
escape destruction through the imtecility of
our military authorities at Washington. Let
them for once rise to the dangers of the crisis,
and this campaign will be the last of the re-
bellion. Let them fail to meet the exigencies of
their situation, and the consequences may bs
a defeat, resulting in foreign Intervention, dis
solution, and that disastrous peace which will
involve us in perpetual war.

GOVERNOR CuRrNs CALL FoR Fifty TBcy-
sAyD MILITIA IN PyNssrIvAsIA.-It will be seen,
by q telegrapbic despatch from Harrisburg,
that Governor Curtin bss called for the orrani.
,s,ion Of fifty thousand militia in PENNSYLVANIA
TO defend the State against invasion. We
suggested THE step yesterday, and Il seems
strange that II has been delayed so long. Better
late, however, than never. These fifty thousand
men may yet do immense service. though no,
available for present use. Las, year, however.
Curtin had ffty thousand militia on the aanL Of
Lee. which was one of the causes that compelled
him to retreat from Maryland This year the
same men seem very tardy In coming forward.

Zone who has lived in Georgia and
South Carolina writes to the London
Daily Meas to say that those States VIII
probably refuse to pull together IN the
long run, for the reason that georgia
possesses an industrial community who
are by nature honest, notwithstanding
their drift into secession, while ooutn
Carolina "was settled by poor nobility,
decayed aristocracy, disconnected canaan
ans, out at elbows gentlemen. polite
swindlers, and the riff raft of broken
down noblesse, gamblers and demi-reps
of Paris and London. That was the
original stock Much of it has since, by
their beautiful domestic system, been I'M
proved, strengthened, and made more
vigorous by an infusion of blood from the
athletic and industrious race known In
history as the descendants of Ham.
The writer, after laying on teese strong
colors, fills his canvas thus:
"South Carolina may be called lazy,
genteel, ambitious, piratical tillibuster;
while Georgia is modest, honhespun'
unre6ned, plodding, honest tiller OF the
soil. Query-will GeOrgi submit to bear
part of the burdens of taxation in a debt
of six hundred to a thousand millions,
brought on by war that was entirely
due to South Carolina originally, and at
forwards backed by Virginia and Mis-
sissippi? Let the slippery spectators
