and rich, fancy dresses, made scene OF
almost Oriental magni6cence. But the
ciowning beauty Of the night was our fair
Jessie. Her robe was of snowy satin,
with large hanging sleeves lined with
crimson silk. She wore no jewels; but
upon the snow OF her breastg lowed clus-
ter Of red and white roses--his giftl as /
learned afterwards. The evening passed,
as such evenings generally do, with music,
dancing and song-leaving a feeling OF
sadness, at lis close, as of misspent and
unwonted gaiety.
That night inst before retiring. l went
to Jessie's room. She sat before the fire
with bare, round arms clasped above her
head in brown study, but arose as l en-
tered. After talking Of many things she
said suddenly:
"Are you satisfied. dear? Do you APP
prove Of my choice?'
Satisfied Approve your choice!--
What do you mean, child?'
She blushed and trembled now.
'Why--why, didn't mother write you
about it?'
Then drew from her the secret that she
was engaged to Allen Lawrence. They
were married in May. My heart sang for
Joy; for well / knew the brave. true heart
Of Allen Lawrence. SO reader, this was

A Joke which had a Serious Termi-
nation.

Some silly young men think il is ga
capital joke" to publish the marriage Of
two parties who perhaps have no idea Of
uniting their future lives. Often this is
'done for fun" sometimes maliciouslv.
Every newspaper is liable to be imposed
upon in this way. 10 spite OF all precau-
ton. 1t is we'll for those who are thus
disposed to perpetrate senscless joke to
know that the newspapers and the public
have some protection in the law. A few.
days since a fraudulent marriage notice
was sent TO the Boston Journal and the
Taunton Gazette. The matter was placed
in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Thayer OF
of Taunton for investigation. who traced
the fraud to Samuel w. Day of Mansfield.
Day was arraigned before the Police Court
in Taunton on Saturday, and pleaded
guilty to the charge. The case was con.
tinued for two weeks, at the request of the
defendant, for sentence. This case should
be warning to others who are tempted
by exuberant Stiffness to violate the law,
as well as the personal rights Of others.

tin. ,t8 sSL
HARRISBURG, Pa, July Boa large rebel
cavalry and artillery force entered Cham
bersburg this morning. Governor Curtin
has issued proclamation calling on the
people to organize and defend their homes.
The Patriot and Union newspapers say the
telegraph wires are all down between Cham
bersburg and Harper's Ferry, and Cham
bersburg and Cumberland. The most ex-
perienced men here are convinced that the
invasion of this State is by a large rebel
force, composed of some of the best troops
of Lees army, and is of too great charac-
ter to be regarded as mere raid. General
Couch is at Carlisle, and it is presumed he

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 29.-Sherman's
army was again put in motion yesterday to
accomplish an important operation, looking
to our early investment of Atlanta. The
enemy yesterday attempted to interrupt the
movement by attacking the 18th corps, but
was badly repulsed. During the contest we
took from the rebels severel regimental
flags. The public may rest assured that
everything has been successful. alt.H /
1t appears that Gen. Bragg came to At
lanta from Richmond, and, at a council of
war held for the purpose stated that Atlanta
must and should be held at all hazards.
Johnston replied that to do so it would re-
quire the sacrifice of the whole army, to
would not consent and therefore resigned.
The command was then rendered to Har-
dee, who refused to accept it on any terms,
and it was given to Hood, ON condition that
he would defend the city to the last. The
rebels are said to have concentrated strong
works at Atlanta, and it is not at all un-
likely they may keep US at bay for few
days longer if they remain in their present
position, but even If they do Hood can
scarcely save the remnant of his army. I .
A letter from general officers on duty

The election for Justice of the Peace in
the city Of Columbus and in the township
ofMontgomery, franklin county, on Satur-
day last, resulted in splendid Democratic
victory over the combined hosts of the
"Loyal Leaguesp The Lincolnites under
took to play sharp game. They went to
work among Democrats to induce them to
vote for John G. Miller Esq, who is one
of our best citizens, and who has been one
of our best Justices. They told Democrats
that they themselves intended to vote for
Miller, and in that way his election would
certainly be secured. A goodly number of
honest Democrats believed them, and voted
In accordance with this arrangement--with
which, we suppose, Squire Miller had moth
ing to do. While the Leaguers were opera
ting among Democrats in favor of him,
they were at the same time holding secret
meetings and were laboring hard to insure
the election of their own candidate-Mr.
Castle. g,,ot9<.s -.fs
Squire Kronenbitter,th the Democratic nom
ince, has majority Of COL, on compara-
lively light vote notwithstanding the trick
of the LincoInites, which drew eff 204 votes
for Squire Miller. This, under all the cir
cumstances, is a magnificent triumph, and
may be regarded as strong and unmistak-
able Indication of the coming glories that
await us in the no. distant future. Let us
continue to work, wait and watch. I1
We subjoin the result of this election by

speculations Abont the Invaders.

HARPER's FRRRY, July pa special to
the Tribune says: The rebels have fallen
back toward Winchester, where it is be-
lieved they intend to concentrate and make
stand. 1t is barely possible the rebels
will try the desperate eXpAkient of making
| another dash on Washington, and it is i'm
possiblt, therefore, to predict their future
movements. A collision may occur before
tomorrow morning. In spite of all that
can be learned from scouts, deserters and
citizens, the number of the enemy and the
composition of his forces, are still matters
of speculation. Nothing has been heard to-
day from Col. Mulligan. but it is believed
he is still living.
q BALTIMORE, July 30.-The damage done
to the telegraph by the guerrillas has been
repaired, and the line is again working to
Harper's Ferry. The force which did the
damage was some two hundred or three
hundred of Mosby's men, who made their
appearance near Adamstown, few miles
west of the Monocacy. They did not stay
long, as they found it prudent to leave,
going in the direction of the Potomac. A
force of Union troops at the Monocacy were
quickly started in pursuit of the marauders,
and in few hours the damage done to the
telegraph line was repaired. So far as we
have been able to learn no damage has been

that the force of rebels now reported will
be found to be small, and that they will
confine themselves to plundering and
avoid conflict, if possible, with our forces.
Most positive information has been re-
ceived that General Averill has driven the
rebels out of Chambersburg, and is follow
ing them westward toward London, Frank
lin county.
The best part of Chambersburg is said to
be in ashes, and three thousand people rem
dered homeless.
1t is stated on the authority of rebel pris-
oners that General Breckenridge is making
raid toward Wheeling, or is about to re-
turn via the Kanawha valley. 1t seems by
the statements of these prisoners that it is
the intention of General Longstreet to
threaten Washington, while Breckenridge
makes his raid. In the mean time General
Early is to hold the shenandoah valley.

From Chambersbnrg.-.DetaiIs of
Il the Rebel Invasion Of PennsyI-

HARRrsBURG, July 3O.-A conversation
with a gentleman attached to one of the
newspapers at Chambersburg, who Left
there this morning, reveals the following
facts: The peope of Chambersburg received
Information OF the approach of the rebels.
At once the merchants and business men
commenced packing up their stock, and
before 10 o'clock last night, the most valu-
able merchandise was sent far beyond the
reach of the rebels. At three O'Clock this
morning, a rebel force of eight hundred
mounted infantry reached Chambersburg
and encamped on the fair ground. This
force was met short distance from Mer-
cersburg by a small party of troops from
Carlisle barracks, who fought the advance
stubbornly, but were compelled to with
draw on account of the overwhelming num-
bers of the invaders.
The disposition of the rebel forces, as they
crossed the Potomac, is described by our in
formant as follows: One party moved via
Mercersburg, another through Waynesboro,
and the centre by Greencastle. General
Averill is reported as having engaged their
centre, and is said to be falling back on
Chambersburg. If this be so his position
must be precarious, and he is likely to be
surrounded at any moment should the reb-
els leave Chambersburg to meet him, and
c'oS0 hofinS Aoh way Hesoolo dlso JUN
in the assault.
The rolling stock of the Cumberland Val
ley railroad is being removed to this point.
Large numbers of fugitive colored people
accompany this stock, and present most
deplorable condition, as they are huddled
on the heath and sidewalks around the
railroad depot. 1t is reported that the
] rebels have burned the court house, town
hall. and residence of Col. A. r. Mcclure
at Cnambersburg. Various estimates are
made of the numbers of the invading reb-
els, the lowest putting them at 10000. At
one O'Clock to-day they had made no ad-
vance beyond Chambersburg, and our
forces still hold Shippensburg, IL miles
east of Chambersburg. Should the rebels
advance on shippensburg, the movement
would deyelope an apparent intention to
make demonstrations still further down
the valley, if not to lay seige to Harris
burg. r..r. ......

Chambersburg Burnt by the Reb-
eIs-The Enemy Preparing TO
Retreat .l

HARRIsBURG, July 80, p. M.-Col
Mcclure has just received dispatch from
an operator in the field, few miles this
side of Chambersburg, that the rebels fired
that town. After having perpetrated that
tiendish act, the result of their rage and
disappointment at having been fOiled in
their hopes of gathering all immense
amount of plumber, they left.
Their departure evidenced an increased
CELEBRITY, as compared with that with which
they entered the ill.fated town this morn
ing. They are now hastily collecting their
invading forces for consolidation to defend
themselves in their retreat, instead of rem
dering themselves more successful in their
aggressions. The military authorities here
are active and vigilant. Maj. Gen. Couch
thoroughly comprehends the situation, and
will certainly use the means at his disposal
for the most effective and prompt defence
of the people and property within his Dis
trict. All the public buildings in Cham
bersburg, and Col. McClure's residence,
were fired by the rebels and burned. The
greater portion of the town is mass of
smouldering ruins. .-F ----rI
SECOND DISPATCH.
CHAMBERsBURG, July 31.-On the morn
ing of the 30th of July, 1864 the rebels un-
force of about five hundred men, entered
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and demand
ed $500,000 from the citizens under threat
Of burning the town. This requisition was
in writing, and was signed by Gen. Jubal
Early.
1t is now established by indisputable
proof that this demand was mere preteXt
on the part of the maranders to cover up a
purpose formed before they reached the
town to burn it to the ground, without Civ
ing any time to remove private property,
and scarcely time enough for citizens to re-
move their families. They fired the houses
ofour citizens in perhaps fifty places. -
Over 250 houses in the heart of the town
we're consumed, including all the public
buildings, stores and hotels, comprising
about two-thirds of town containing 5000
inhabitants. Thus large body of citizens
are reduced from comparative wealth to
absolute poverty. ~ ff ..f y
Many families have lost all their bedding
and clothing, except such as they had on
their persons.
The loss will be largely over one million
dollars. Without aid from abroad there
will be great suffering in our community.
THE VERY LATEST.
HARRIsBURG, July 31--10 p. M.-When
Gen. Averill reached Chambersburg the
flames had obtained such headway as to rer-
der it impossible for his men to stay them.
The word " onward" rang along his line.
The rebels hurried over the Saint Thomas
road toward McConnellsburg, but the rear
of their retreating column could not fail to
distinguish the approach of Averill, SO
they were prevented from committing any
deeds of violence.
Averill came laundering after them, he
entering at one side of McConnellsburg
while the invaders left at the other. ''s
