REBEL INVASION.

PHILADELPHIA, June IL.
The Enquirers special from Harrisburg,
dated June 10, midnight, says our report
ers returned from the front report that the
rebels are picketed AZ miles from Harris-
burg at Scotland Bridge, which probably
burned this morning. s1
The rebels are encamped at three points
around Chambersburg, $500 strong, under
jenkins. The rebels say brigade under
Gen. Rhodes is coming, and they have
seized 200 horses to mount infantry.
They have Is pieces Of artillery. l
The rebels injured no private property.
They seized the -four mills near Cham
bersburg and placed guard over them.
At Green Castle all was arranged to set
fire 10 tne Government property, but up
to noon to-day had not been burned.
Citizens we're, at first, allowed to leave
Chambersburg, but afterwards were re-
fused. -rf lrE rgar u
The design of the rebels appears to be
to obtain horses and forage.
Additional artillery is on its way here
for our Notifications. -'s.-..
The rebel force in Ghambersburg sent a
messenger to their forces at Green Castle
asking for reinforcements, as the Union
forces had fortified and were supported in
great force.

The Contemplated Northern Invasion.

The Contemplated Northern Invasion.
A letter from Richmond Of June ID, to
the Atlanta, Ga, Intelligencer, reports the
current rumor that Lee was about to march
either for Washington or Philadelphia
The writer says that the Notifications Of
Washington are such as to render it well
nigh impregnable, andif "GeDeral Lee in
vades Maryland, it is not probable that he
will Immediately max, an attack on the
well defended capital of the Union, but up
on other places, with view to cut off its
supplies, and thus, by stratagem, ultimate
ly compel its surrender" Governor Cur
tin, the writer thinks, has not altogether
neglected the defence of Philadelphia; but
generally, he considers that any Of the cit
les of the North, owing to the formerly
prevalent opinion there that that section
was safe from invasionin any event, would
fall and easy prey to Confederate" ar
my. But q succession Of defeats has at
last awakened the North to a consciousness
of its danger. Steps are being taken to
put it in defensive posture; and conse-
quently, "this, if ever is the time for our
gallant troops, under our experienced
leaders, to pass the RubieOn, tear down the
bridges behind them, and move with all
the pomp and circumstance Of bloody war
into the heart Of the enemy's country.

FROM THE ARMYIOF THE POTOMAC.
NEW YoRK, June II.


Dispatches to the Herald from Head
quarters of the Army Of the Potomac, da-
ted June 18TH, states:
This morning we started again and TO
night the whole country south Of the Oc
caquan is left to the enemy.
1t is reported that the rebel cavalry are
at Chsmbersburg and that the enemy has
appeared at Brooks station. miles from
Acquis. The rebels will undoubtedly follow
us closely, though an engagement with the
pursuing forces is not anticipated. II
would probably be improper TO state where
our next line Of defences will be establish
although the enemy will doubtless know
before the publication Of this letter, but
Hooker is fastening with his entire army
to the defence of Washington and will oc
cupy a position best adapted to defeat the
plans of Lee.
To-day all is quiet Whether Lee at
tacks US or attempt another experiment in
Maryland remains to be determined. In
a few hours we shall be ready for him and
the fate of the rebel army of Northern Vir-
ginia will be decided in as many days
Lee undoubtedly has large force between
Warrenton and Culpepper, and those left
at Fredericksburg, numbering nearly
10000, will probably be added to that ar
my as soon as possible.
The public may be prepared for another
grand struggle near Washington or gi-
gantic Fizzle
The Herald's Washington dispatch says
the march from Falmouth to the present
position Of the army was a severe one, ma
ny of the soldiers tainted from the effects
Of the heat, and mules aud horses gave out
In third corps alone about 20 of the men
died by the way from sun stroke cav
airy force was left behind to take care Of
and bring in those who were exhausted.
The creeks and rivulets and even the
springs on the road were nearly dry and
afforded no relief.
Quite large number of army officers
left town to-day for the North to aid in or
ganizing and putting into the field the mi
litia that has been called out by the Pres
ident.
The rumOr is current that Colonel For
ney has counselled the restoration Of Gen
eral Mcclellan to the command Of the Ar
my Of the Potomac.
Persons report hearing cannonading in
the direction of CenterVille at early dawn
to day.
It is stated that should General MoClel-
Ian be authorized to issue call for volun-
teers to repel the invasion Of the border
free States, all the soldiers recently mus
tered out of the service to a man would
undoubtedly respond, and large number
of veterans would be suddenly improvised.
a Committee from Harrisburg waited on
the President tonight to urge the adoption
of this course.

EDITOR LEADER:-In your Tri- Weekly of
the 18th see a notice headed ' Sherif's Of
fee, AshtabuIa county, O., June 6, 1863" in
regard to a statement made by myself in re-
latiOn to Peck, one of the parties arrested in
Thompson as one of the guests a. Atkins
house. I will now state that Mr.. Peck was
not on the lounge, but came out from the bed
room. After the candle was lit,
Peck sat on the lounge and put Oh his boots.
Furthermore, viii ask Sheriff Wright if he
knew who the parties were, or had any clue
to them, until about nine o'clock tho night
before their arrest; also who detailed the
men to 90 into the house; also who piloted
the party through the woods where the goods
we're hid Why does not the Sheriff of Ash
tabula county, Ohio, claim that honor ? One
of the parties that went into the house knows
this to be fact It is true that was not
in the house, but stood at the back window
when there was light struck, and there was
no one in the room but the Sheriff. Messrs.
Ray and Williams stood in the door waiting
for some demonstration on the part Of the oc-
cupants. They did not wait long. At that
moment Ralph Atkins jumped out of the win
dow and was knocked down and secured. I
will ask Sheriff Wright who arrested him
| The great secret in this matter is that one
half of this TRADE was started by parties in
this city. All have to say, people that live
in glass houses should not throw stones if
they are not capable they should not employ
a stool-pigeon to do it. rS

HEAVY RoBBERY.-William Osborn, who
keeps a boarding saloon on Willow street,
was robbed on Saturday morning last of S72O,
Some time ago Osborn was in saloon on the
West Side, kept by Richard Rafalie, while
two notorious thieves, Walter Knapp and
Edward Murphy, were present. Osborn Of
fered to buy out Raffalie, and exhibited seven
or eight hundred dollars in largo bills on JEFF
ferson county, New York, and Massachusetts,
banks. On Friday night Knapp and Muir
ply went to 0sborn's house and asked if he
could take them as boardCrs. He consented.
Before going to bed they told him they were
irregular in their hours, and might sleep late
in the morning.
Knapp was at breakfast the next morning,
with the rest of the bOarders, but Murphy did
not come down. He displayed considerable
uneasiness, going up AMI down the stairs sew
eral times, on the pretense that he was en-
deavoring to wake up Murphy. About half
past nine both came down and left the house
They did not come back, and OsbOrn's
suspicious being excited he instituted a
search and found that his bedroom had been
entered and 1920 stolen. He informed the
police on Monday morning. The thieves con-
verted large portion of the money in
to silver and succeeded in effeeting their
escape by the boat to Detroit. officers
Charles E. Brown and Patrick Gallagher
started Immediately in pursuit, as soon
as the trace was discovered, on Tues
day morning, telegrapbing to the Mar
shal of Detroit description, etc. On their ar
rival the Detroit police had the thieves in
custody Their friends, the thieves of De-
troit and Cleveland, tried to get writ of
Labeas corpus, but the officers succeeded in
bringing the cuIprits away triumphantly.
The whole affair reflects great credit on Of
Reers Brown and Gallagher for their prompt
itude, perseverance and quiekness of opera
ton.
Knapp is celebrated Chicago thief whose
real name is McBurns. Murphy is also a
/ we'll known thief. He resides in Detroit.

The Situation in TenHessee--BrnEg and
HOsecraus,
an intelligent correspondent Of the New
York Times, writing from Murfreesboro'
gives a review of the military situation
and argues that Rosecraus is accomplish
ing more by " "standing still and keeping
in hand the brave boys who are eager for
fight then if he plunged into battle. The
following are given as reasons for that
belief:
In every sense, military prudence dictates
simply the preser0atioR Of a mastery iRachU-
tty here until th. Development Of the opera
tons at VieEsjurgh And this for two
reasons; First because in case of defeat
there, it is of the utmost Importance that
we should have at least one great army in
tsct, and this is the only one on which we
can rely; secondly, because If the issue at
Vicksburgh shall be favorable, we will
then be in position TO enter upon 4 really
decisive campaign 10 the center zone.
Grant successful at Vicksburg, the
course is then clear. Garrisoning Vieks-
burg with a sufficient force, and adding TO
his present command the detachments
scattered around at various points, a pow
Q erful army is thus liberated to operate by
that great avenue leading through the
very heart Of the centre zone-the Tennes-
ee river.
Thrown up the Tennessee as far as Tus-
cumbia, this column would compel the
evacuation of their present line by the
rebels, just as the presence of Grants
army on the Cumberland and the Tennes
see, last year, compelled the evacuation Of
Bowling Green, Clarksville, Columbus ana
Nashville Ulm and jena were battles
won by strategy before they were fought,
tactics having but little 10 do with them
At Ulm there was not even o regular bat
tle The movement marked out would
achieve similar fine victory Of skill
If now the rebels, having abandoned
their present line, should take up o new
position at Chattanooga, it would certain
ly 20 hard with them, pressed upon by this
army, and by that on the Tennessee on
their flank, and seizing their cOmmunica-
tions. The proper concentration Of our
forces would make each of our armies as
large as theirs united, and thus obviate
the objection that attaches, under any 9TH
er circumstances, 10 double lines Of opera
tion. 1t might require hard battle, but
they would assuredly be dislodged.
Pushed from the line Of the Tennessee,
strategieally their only remaining line in
this zone is that Of the Tombigbee. But it
is needless to pursue Theoretical forecast
ings further, for when that day comes, we
shall begin TO see the end, and the deHoue-
Hlent of this strange eventful tragedy of
rebellion and war will be at hand.
