The Rebels IN IsenasyIvansa.

A detccticc officer, who was prisoner within
the cnemy's lines at Williamsport. makes this
statement; h .'
On the arrival Of Gen. Lees advance Oh Sum
day week, the most earnest Efforts were made
to cross the river. Seven scows were built, and
On these light wagon trains were crossed, each
scOw taking one and as many men as II could
carry. On Tuesday and Wednesday the river
fell so much that many Of the infantry fordcd
1t, the water being breast high. The Subsequent
rains again swelled the river, and II became
unfordable. The rebels then commenced the
construction Of q bridge at Failing Waters,
using for Il the boats they had built at Williams
port. The bridge was not finished until Mon
day noon, aud then grand rush took place to
! yet across artillery and heavy trains. Every
thing was moved hack to tho river except the
iit,htest artillery and strong picket line, which
hs.d the field works thrown up along the front.
Uu Monday night these were drawn in, and by
dayli ght nothing was left this side but rear
! guard Of infantry, most OF whom were captured
by Gen. Buford's cavalry. The tone ~ the
| sp0ndrnl. Both officers and men regarded their
position AS desperate, and many OF the latter
, expressed wish for our forces to attack, so
| that they might be- captured. On Monday they
| had not more than 10000 or $1,000 men this
side of the Potomac, and had they been attacked
would not have made o very serious defence.
Gen. Lee aud his statf forded the river At three
o'clock on Monday afternoon. Gen. Stuart,
with his cavalry, followed about two honrr

THE OTHER SIDE.

TO Inc Editor ofhe National Republican! ..
] noticed a paragraph In your paper of yes
terday, headed " The Diderence," tho effect Of
which was to make an iuvidious comparison
between the people Of Pennsylvania and Mary
land. The story Of the little boys standing In
the doors Of farm houses, asking my cents q
loa: for bread snd refusing 10 be beat down 20
twenty-five cents; as also that Of $50 being
charged for bringing four wounded officers Eve
miles, has a very Jfshy appearance, to say the
least. nIi. 7.t7' 20, f'H'
There are doubtless in every community
people mean enough TO resort to eStortion
whenever an opportunity offers, but to insinu.
sle that the loyal and freedom loving people OF
Pennsylvania are so far behind The people Of a
Slate where slavery Ia Tolerated, N Adts ofkind-
ness and generosity 70 our wounded soldiers,
Is to do that which VIM gratify every croakar
andrebel sympsthizer in our midst. ''.'
urTo show how much trutii there Is In such
representations, I will stste what came under my
own observation last week while on visit IL
Gettysburg and the hattie ground. While wait
ing at Hanover, sixteen miles this side of Get.
tysburg, three trains loaded with wounded SOL
diers passed through. Each train halted few
minutes and the inhabitants OF the village came
out with baskets Of reffeshment and distributed
them freely among the hungry soldiers; buckets
OF fresh water were brought for them to fill
their canteens, and everything done that was
possible tn alleviate their snfYcrings. Every
train that halted there received the same atten-
tions. .ss } .r .'. .H''"
At Gettysburg almost every house was occu-
pied with our wounded, and every attention
shown then, that humanity could dictate.
Stores and charches and other buildings were
freely given for hospitals aud for the distribu.
tion OF sanitary stores. l do not remember tn
have seen eny little boys,"' Old women, or
dccrcplt men around selling cakes and "pisen
things "tothe wounded soldiers, except at Bal.
timore. So much for the attempt 10 disparagr a
noble, generous, and loyal people.

THE uNTELLIeENCER AND KINDRED
I'r.." PRINTS. D..

The Nuiiondl Mtei'ige,iesr used its leading
editorial column Of the 18th for the purpose Of
relieving itself from the conscious accusation
of having disseminated ideas and doctrines |
which have contributed to the riot in the city |
Of New York. .,s o. .r.,...
The self-imputed guik which Its article upon
"The Riot In New York and its Lesson" al.
ints aud Illustrates, Is In accordance with the
instructive opinion of all intelligent men, as II
will he in accordance with the final, deliberate
Judgment fthe country and Of history. Those
who teach disobedience to the Government must
accept the results Of their own teachings.
The hfeiiigeneer and kindred prints, which
hav" been more anxious 10 protect what they
have chosen to call tho personal rights OF such
traitors as Kane, Of Baltimore, and Yaliandig-
ham, of Ohio, than To suppress the great re-
belion Of the slaveholders-the Inieiiigencer
and kindred prints that have been more
anxious TO secure Jefferson Davis in his
right TO the service Of the slaves upon his
plantation in Mississippi, than to secure the
right Of the whole people Of the country to
govern the country nuder the Conslitu-
tion-the bieuiyo.csr aud kindred prints,
which have been swim TO deny the right of the
President 10 s0spend the writ Of habeas eorp.a,
aud anxious and JEALOUS 10 weaken the faith Of
the people in the enrolment act-the MtelH-
Ven"er aud kindred prints that have constantly
and uuscrupulously advised the wealthy and
business men Of the cities that the interest of
capital was in sustaining tire Institution Of hu-
man slavery-the h,sHge~cr and kindred
prints, which have taught in fact aud In words
that the rebellion was due 10 the aholitionlsts,
and, aS . consequence, not often expressed In
terms, that Jefferson navis aud his alIes are
injured and comparatively innocent people,
should accept the riot in New York as the 10
gilimats and necessary result of ,hsir own doe
trines. The lesson to be drawn thcrefrom is
within the" comprehension OF the h,elligrncer
and kindred prints. u.
The duty of the Government In reference IN
the riot, and more especially the duty Of the
Government In reference 10 those men and in
nuenccs by which the rioters have been created,
organized, and, finally, melted TO deeds of
robbery, arson, and murder, and those name
less brntaties which belong to barbarans, but
from which common malefactors are exempt in
civilized ages aud countries, are topicsiwbich
the people should consider. .rr.. 900 r.... . .,
