HARRISBURG, Pa, July 80.
large force of rebel cavalry entered Cham
bersburg this morning at three o'clock. Gen.
Couch is at Carlisle. Gov. Curtin has arrived
here. The citizens here are arming, and ev-
cry effort will be made to repel the invaders.
The Patriot says the wires are down be
tween Chambersburg and Harpers Ferry, and
between Chambersburg and Cumberland
Adams Express refuses freight for Cumber-
land and beyond. The Cumberland Valley
railroad only runs to Carlisle. The Northern

PHILADELPHIA. July 80.
The Bulletins Harrisburg dispatch of this
morning states that three columns of rebels
are advancing into the State. A few minutes
before three O'Clock this morning the operator
at Chambersburg announced that the advance
guard Of the rebels had entered that town.
since when no dispatches have been received,
the operator having fled or been captured. Ii
is believed that the rebels intend making a
general rendezvous in Bedford county and ad-
jacent mountains. Nothing definite has been
ascertained whether the rebels are pillaging
or destroying property. There is not much
alarm exhibited here.
SECOND DISPATCH
II is believed that the invasion of this State
is by Lees best troops, and is of a too gigan-
tic nature to be regarded as mere raid. The
rebels are now holding Chambersburg. Gen.
Couch is directing the defensive movement at
Carlisle.
Gov. Curtin has issued proclamation stat
ing that rebel cavalry and artillery occupy
Chambersburg, and that q few hours will de-
velop their intentions. He calls on the peo-
pie OF Harrisburg TO organize at once to de-
fend their homes, and says they will be sup
piled with arms and ammunition as soon as
organized into companies.

Uoroner's Inquest.

Verdict of the jury on the late collision on
the Grand Trunk Railway.
The coroner's jury which has been in SEES
sion several days, investigating the circum-
stances that caused the collision OF the two
freight trains on the Grand Trunk Railway at
Falmouth last Monday night, concluded their
inquest on Saturday. Their verdict is that
"Pennell and Thurston died from injuries re-
ceived on Monday the 18th day Of July, at
about s.35 p. NJ, by a collision between a
special construction train and regular freight
train No. 10, on the Grand Trunk Railroad, at
on said road; that said collision occurred by
reason of the carelessness OF the conductor
and engine driver of said special train, in
leaving Cumberland for Falmouth at a time
when said train No. 10 was entitled TO the
road; that 1t was clearly the duty of said con-
ductor and engineer, by the rules of the road,
TO have delayed said special train at Cumber-
land until said train No. 10 had passed; that
neither of the coliding trains bore head lights;
that though the testimony of witnesses, ex-
ahtiICu ~ tLic iuQucetf ooco hos - -
concluding, that the collision could have been
avoided If SAID trains had carried head ligh.s,
we believe that the trains could thereby have
been seen from greater distance, and that an
opportunity being thus afforded the engine
drivers Of more speedily reversing their en-
gines, the conclusion might have been less
dangerous; that accordingly we would rec
ommend, as measure of prudence, that en-
CINE drivers of night trains be required to use
head lights upon their engines in all cases,
when circumstances do not make it impracti-
cable"
The verdict is signed by c. II. Hall, Coro-
ner, and David Keazer Robertson Dyer, John
T. Rogers, Moses B. Nickerson, Charles Nc
Laughlin, and j. Harris Cressey, as Jurors.
Upon the rendition OF this verdict Coroner
Hall ordered the arrest of Mr.. Henry B. Hus-
sey the engine driver OF the special train, who
viii have an examination before the Munich
pal Court. He is the oldest engine driver on
that road, with the exception Of "Uncle Jake
Nichols" His arrest is according to Sec. 8,
Chap. 139, Revised Statues.

FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

From Ner Orleans Destruction, of Steamer
Clara Bell by the Rebels Steamers Detaia-
ed by Rebel battery The Fight near
Helena, Ark.
CAIRO, H., July 80.
New Orleans papers OF the I'D have been
received. No news.
There was fair inquiry for cotton, but
holders decline to sell. Quotations nominal
at 81 IS far low middlings. General markets
unchanged.
The steamer Clara Bell was fired into at
Carrollton Landing on the Path, by a rebel
battery. Three shot penetrated her hull be-
low the water line, and wounded seven per-
sons. The steamer ran far ahead aud had
nearly repaired her damage, when she was
again attacked, the battery having; been moved
up the river. This time four shell struck the
boat and she burned to the waters edge. All
on board escaped except one wounded man,
who is supposed to have persisted In the fiames.
A tin-clad boat was sent to protect the
ClaIa Bell, and commenced to drive the rebels
away. The iron-clad Louisville was then sent
to the scene of conflict, but before she reached
the place the battery had been removed to-
wards Columbine.
The steamer Leviathan, with the steamer
Pauline Carroll in tow, passed the battery
above them without molestation.
The rebel force in that vicinity is said to
consist of four hundred Texas cavalry with
four pieces Of artillery.
The Levathan found eight steamers below
White River, afraid to venture up the stream.
The bodies of Col. Crooks and other officers
killed in the late fight twelve miles from Hele-
ma, were brought up on the Leviathan. Thir-
ty-seven privates are reported to have been
killed in the same fight, and we lost one of our
caissons. The enemy numbered 800, while
our force did not reach one-third of that num-
Der.

Brocksiepsr's Gas Regulator.

We have before referred to this wonderful
improvement TO secure economy, and steady,
clear light in the consumption OF Illuminating
gas, but we can do no better service for all gas
consumers than renewedly to call their atten-
ton TO it. We are aware of the thousand and
one impositions that have been practiced upon
our citizens In relation to gas burners under
the plea of economy, and know how to appre-
ciate their doubts and ominous shakes OF the
head when anything Of the kind is proposed
to them. We have the gas-regulators in use
in our office, and kaow what kind Of light they
secure. We know the flame is clear, rhite,
steady and uniform, unaffected az the even
ing advances, by neghboring lights being shut
of. On the score of economy in gas bills we
will not speak, for we have not used the regu-
lator long enough to know from actual obser-
walton, in this direction. But we invite our
gas-consuming friends to visit room l6l Mid
die street, up stairs, where, by the use of test
metre their doubts will all be dissipated. More
than this: the test metre is a beautiful piece Of
mechanism, and five minutes observation ofits
workings viii repay any person for his trouble,
who has any taste for such examinations. Mr..
Goodell, the agent, is an intelligent gentle
man, who will not fail to crafty every reason
able desire of those who wish to gain informa-
ton in relation to the matter he has in hand.
We cannot better close this notice than by
copying the following certificate, which speaks
for itself. The original has been in our pos
session.
AMERICAN MUSEUM, NEW YORK,
June 81, 1854.
Irring Hull, Esq,-Dear Sir: After hav
ing tried more than twenty different kinds of
'sgas savers" every one of which l consider
utterly worthless, l confess it was with great
reluctance that consented to give your "Reg.
ulator' trial. Now, however, after having
had your Regulator" placed on all my burn
ers throughout the American Museum, as well
as my house in Bridgeport, Conn, and In full
operation for three months, must say that /
was scarcely ever more delightfully."- surprised.
Your Regulators" work to charm. 1t is
impossible for the gas to blow, or waste, where
your Regulator" is applied. Hence q steady
and uniform light Is always secured, and an
absolute saving is made in my gas-bills of more
than thirty per cent, besides giving me far
better light. Truly yours,

From the Army of the Potomac.

New YORK, July 81.
The Herald's army OF the Potomac cores
pondent states that a recent election among
the North Carolina troors resulted largely in
favor OF Holman against Vance.
The Herald's correspondence from James
river shows that our movements surprised
Lee, who pushed troops precipitatey from
Petersburg and Richmond to near Deep Bot
tom. where they hold strong position. All
the roads to Richmond between jamestown
river and White Oaks Swamp were strongly
defended. On the evening Of the 9th Mer-
ritts cavalry gained an important point, but
on the morning of the 18th he was furiously
attacked by three rebel brigades of infantry.
Merritt then fell back upon his reserve, who
then fired and charged on the rebels, driving
them in confusion. At the same time heavy
fight occurred with Gregg's division, by which
we lost one gun, but soon recovered our lost
ground, capturing some colors and prisoners.
kautz is in possession of Malvern Hill. Glib
bons' infantry relieved the cavalry after the
above fight, and skirmshed with the enemy
and took up anew and important position on
the night of the 2Sth. The gunboat Mendoza
did excellent service in the above fight.

Disunion openly Ayowed.

There is one paper in this city that unblush-

plant the Argus as The organ of the Maine

That paper of Friday last, editorially, says:
We have national debt that will enslave
nity generations TO come, as a consequence
Could disunion without war be any more dis
astrous? We don't believe it. Give us Un-
