EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.


The excursion train which feft Baltimore
at o'clock, and Sunbofy at p NJ, on
Monday, arrived in this city this afternoon
at 8 O'Clock. The party was made up
mostly Of tho City Councils of Baltimore,
the Directors of the Northern Central road,
and other gentlemen of that city and vi
cinity. There were also guests from York
and from Harrisburg
The venerable +. p. Blair and his wife
were among the excursionists. He was
under Gen. Jackson's administration, the

After a pleasant and agreeable ride we
arrived at Elmira at Z o'clock in the eve
ming. The party proceeded to the Brainard
House, and were handsomely received by
the Mayor and Council, who gave them an
entertainment, at which numerous speeches
were made, and an interchange of compli-
ments passed. The hotels, though large,
were crowded, and some of the excursonists
were indebted to the citizens of that beauti-
ful and tlourishing village, which now num-
bers about 10000 inhabitants, for hospitali-
ties extended to them. 1t was the good
fortune of the Sunbury delegation to become
the guests of VIM. Post, Esq, who conveyed

of the evening, to his beautiful and hand
somely arranged residence and grounds, on
his farm, about mile from town. At II

In the centre, a jet of water is constantly
playing against the glass case on each side
through which the dust has to pass. Aftel
our arrival at Buffalo in the evening, before

gD HOOKER AWAKE. General Hooker
does not mean that Lee shall slip away from
before him in a night. The heavy recon
noissance begun on Friday last gave him.
If we may believe reports, satisfactory in
formation concerning the situation of the
rebel forces. 1t was accomplished with
small loss, and was an act of that kind
which inspirits whole army and gives it
confidence in the commander who ordered
it,
1t is probable that General Hooker is
better informed of Lees movements than
the public supposes. The Army of the
Potomac has now a large and active cavalry
force, and its general keeps this force busy.
1t is by constant scouting expeditions ON
the enemy's fanks and rear that general
informs himself of all important movements
Of his opponent. While our cavalry infest
the country on the other side of the Rama
hammock, Hooker is likely to have hints to
tell him beforehand when and whittier Lee
intends n movement

From tho Harrisburg Telegraph Of this friday
Morning

From the Harrisburg Telegraph Of this friday
Morning
Major General Couch arrived in the State
Capital yesterday afternoon, direct from
Washington city, coming hithcr charged
with the execution of important plans look
ing to the defence Of the borders of Penn
sylvania and Maryland from anticipated
rebel incursions. He expected to be joined
late last night by Major General Schenck.
from Baltimore, and Major General Brooks,
from Pittsburg.
Colonel Thomas A. Scott and Colonel
John A. Wright, special aids to Governor
Curtin, also arrived in this city, last evening,
and were expected to join in the conference
which was held with the Governor and
Major Generals Couch and Brooks
We are not at liberty to state upon what
information this conference was based,
though it is ofcoursc impossible to suppress
the general inference that the calling to-
gcther Of gentlemen so high in military
and civil positions is of the utmost i'm
portance to the people of the State and
nation.
In connection with the rumors which
were atioat in the city last evening, and the
reports which reached us from Washington
and Baltimore, of an expected raid by the
rebel cut-thfoats under Stuart, this meeting
of military officials is highly significant.
II is expected that Governor Curtin will
issue proclamation to-day, calling for
minute men, and with his usual promptness
he will bend the whole vigor of his admin
istration to the defence of the State.

sovereign into his hand saying Give that to
the boy who bro't the cow" The Duke, hav-

by the boy.

Duke.
