GoyERvoR SEYMOUR AGAN--Governor
SEYMOUR rs usual has his controversy with
the Administration. The controversy now
Is in regard to the excessive quotas Of New
York State. He compares the quotas of
the Empire State with that of other States,
and asks the appointment of a commission
similar to that appointed last year which al
ter an investigation fixed the quotas Of New
York and Brooklyn at reduced rates. is the
President and the War Department bard up

and determined To- make all the trouble
he can? The latter seems to be the correct
conclusion, and yet there may he some
ground for complaint on his part. lie sue
ceedcd in ohtaininga reduction OF former
quota. This was to his credit and sivcs him
some right to complain again if he chooses to
do SO. The general feeling, however, mani
tested by the loyal press, lie, that he had bet
ter not have chosen To do so under the CIR
cumstauces. and that when he leaves the

News of the War.

Dispatches from Harrisburg, Pa. dated
Aug. 5th say that news has been received
that the rebels were then crossing the river
at Hancock, and that they had driven Cen
Averill's pickets into Chambersburg.
A semi-oficIal despatch received at \.
NJ. conveyed the intelligence that the rebels
occupied HagerstOwn in force.
The greatest CONSERVATION once more pre-
walls among the people in the southern part
of the Cumberland valley. Farmers are
hurrying from their homes with their stock,
and the population generally is reported To
be perfectly panic stricken by this sudden
occupation again of the country by the re-
bells
Gov Curtin has issued a proclamation
calling out 10000 militia.
Later intelligence says that the oceupa-
tiOn of HagerstOwn Is confirmed by Official
dispatches. Three regiments Of cavalry and
two Of infantry are strongly posted around
the town. The fact that the rebel expedi-
ton Is accompanied by infantry is a strong
intimation that this fierce is the advance Of a
large body, as such troops are not used for
maauding only. After crossing at Shep-
ardstown it appears the enemy passed
through Sharpsburg and FunkstOwn. We
are still in communication with the State
line at a station seven miles north of fHagers-
town. The operator there states that the
rebels IN Hagerstown had thrown out pick
cts, but as yet had made no further move
ments..
The movements of the enemy are utterly
inexplicable. They seemed determined to IN
vest their operations with as much mystery
as possible. both as TO numbers, intentions,
and points Of attack At the same time that
the i've regiments were advancing towards
Chambersburg, another column was reported
moving up the Potomac in the direction OF
Cumberland, the strength Of which column
our officials were not able to learn.

The LEvEE At THE HosFITAL.-The Levee
at the Hospital Friday was a very pleasant
and successful affair A stream of well
filed carriages began to arrive at four p. NJ.
and kept up till sundown. The visitors
were surprised to see the extensive array of
buildings, which have sprung up within a
month. Thirty-fye days ago the contract
for the new wards was taken by Col. L. B.
platt and l.. :. Drew. Much Of the timber
used in the erection was then
growing in the woods. Since then they
have erected sercn new buildings, each one
hmdred and niaefy feet long, neatly con-
structcd, thoroughly plastercd, well yentil
atcd. and connected by a covered way fire
daHdrcd feet in length. We have seen a
glod many hospitals and remember no suite
of temporary buildings which were more
Convenient and comfortable than these.
They viii accommodate siI hundred mcn. As
an evidence of the thorough and liberal way
iu which the contractors have done their
work, we may mention that whereas their
contract only required them to plaster the
inside perpendicular walls, they have also
neatly plastered the ceiling overhead, at an
additional expense of some 500.
If the visitors were pleased to see such
convenient arrangements for the care Of
the soldiers. we presume the latter was rc-
ioIe,d to see the baskets Of refreshments
brought by the visitors These were taste
