our shells. With bitter defiance he
writes; Some ass will say we are

Brig. Gen. Com'd'g,

THE INvAsIoN.--It was generally sup
posed on Saturday that the rebel raid in
Maryland was ended, and that the rebels
were on the back track. The last news,
however, puts a new face upon the de-
monstration, and gives it the character
of q serious attempt to create diversion
In favor of Lee, as well as to commit
such robbery, plumber and destruction
as may be possible. We have still all
sorts of reports as to the number of the
rebels in Maryland, varying from ten to
forty thousand. 1t is still probable that
it is only the force originally detached
to fight Hunter at Lynchburg with
possibly some small additions, number
ing altogether from fifteen to twenty
thousand men, and that no other portion
of Lees army has been withdrawn from
Grants front. If this is true, and Hun
ter and Sigel are both in their rear, and
the rebels do not retreat before our avail
able troops can be got together, they
ought to be well punished for their teme-
rity before they escape, and the rebel
invasion" end in good blow struck
for the Union cause. We still hope such
will be the result, and that it will be
reached without any diminution of
Grants forces about Petersburg and
Richmond, and without any interruption
of his work in that vicinity.
