REPORTS FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC.

REPORTS FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC
The reports that reach us through the
Northern papers of the number of the Con-
tederate force on the upper Potomac, and their
movements are vague and contradictory One
set Of correspondents appear to be frightened
to death, and, in their fright, the numbers are
indefinitely multiplied. Another set, running
to the other extreme, do not believe there IS
any invasion at ALL The truth must lie
somewhere between those two extremes, but
mat ret it is difficult to decide what is really
true and what is really false. The Baltimore
American of this morning says: 'Ihere can
no longer be any doubt that Gen. Lee has sent
a considerable portion of his army from before
Richmond to invade Maryland and Pennsyl-
gania, in the hope of being able to break up
the operations Of Gen. Grant on the James
River The authorities at Washington have
from the first been confident tha .he invading
column is not less than thirty tho lsand strong,
and that the advance that appeared at Mar
tusburg would ultimately be swollen to that
number by others on the route still to come
up."
Thus far we hear of nothing, but small de-
tachments Of cavalry operating upon differ
ent points, moving quickly from place to place,
and but rarely exceeding few hundred men
N single body. 1t is stated on the authority
ola man from Hagerstown, that Gen Nc.
Causland' command, fifteen hundred strong,
entered Hagerstown on Wednesday last, and
subsequently, left that place at eleven clock to
join the main body of the Confederate forces On
the Frederick pike Yesterday morning re-
quistion was made upon the authorities at Tia
gerstown for fifteen hundred outfits and twenty
thousand dollars in money. Under threats OF
burning the town, it is said that the demand
was complied with.
Hunter is reported to be in communication
With Sige, and his force arriving at points
where they will be brought into active service.
1t is reported from York, Harrisburg, and
the Cumberland Valley that the excitement
among the people is more intense than during
any previous invasion. Hundreds OF meD, Wo,
men, and children have passed through York
on their way to the Susquehanna, aud the
roads were lined with horses, cattle, and Wag-
ons loaded with goods and provisions being
driven in the same direction. Many have hid
den their stores and cattle in the mountains.
The excitement at Chambersburg yesterday
On hearing that Hagerstown was occupied, and
That the Confederate cavalry were advancing
On Greencastle, is represented as most intense.
Nothing definite is known as to the damage
oone to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
enough ii Is supposed to be great.

| states that about 10 O clock that morning Coz.
Clendening, of the 9Th Illinois cavalry, with
three hundred men and two pieces OF Alexan~
ders Baltimore battery made a reconnol5-
sance to Middletown, about five miles from
| Frederick, where they met the Confederates
in strong torce-infantry, cavalry, and artillery,
After sharp fight the Federal forces were re-
pulsed and fell back on Frederick, the Conted-
crates slowly pursuing.
In the upper part of Washington county
the Confederates we're busy selzlng horses,
stock and everything they coold make avail
able, and sending it across the river
Dispatches from General Wallace at late
hour last night, announced that an engage
men between his forces and the Confederates,
one mile from Frederick, had resulted III the
repulse Of the Confederates. The fghr CON
menced at four 0 clock and ended at SIX . clock
The Confederates three times attacked his
forces, and we're repulsed each time Al
clock last evening the Contedera1ea are re-
ported to have retired to South Mountain.
All the railroad property including the teIe,
graph and ticket Offices, and a large quantity
of forage, have been burned at Harper Ferry,
by the Confederates.
A Confederate prisoner captured in sklr-
nish at Hagerstown states that the present
raid is not only to procure horses, but crops
and provisions that it is headed by Lee, ana
composed of Ewell's and Longstreet S corps,
and an effort to invade Pennsy ylvanla and other
Northern States The capture or Baltimore
and the destruction of the national capita! IS
also aimed at While Lee IS thus operating
against Washington city, Beauresard has been
left in command at Petersburg, where be has
sufficient force. The rebels expect to hold
Grant in check and prevent his advancing on
Richmond.

Ece,y instrument Hdrrunted for Fire Years.
In presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we bold
~ announce the greatest triumph in musical
instruments of the age During the past hall
century the French and Germans have manu.
featured reed Instruments with double bellows,
and two pedals for the feet to operate, but the
want of the reversed or exhaustion bellows
(Which is the only bellows used in OR instru-
ments,) made il impossible for them to produce
the mellow, rich and musical tone for which our
instruments are celebrated
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied no Opportu-
swell. Within the past two years, Instruments
constructed on this European plan of double
blowers have been manufactured In this
country, and to counteract this difficulty (want
of swelD lever has been projected from the
center of the instrument, to act upon the swell,
and contortion necessary to effect this object
are disagreeable enough to a gentleman, but to
a lady the use OF such an appendage is nearly
impossible. III .-.a.. sI.t4--
Our automatic device obyiates this difficulty
entirely, the simple act of blowing with more or
less force giving the desired inc rease or decrease
In the volume of tone.
For seventeen years the superior excellence Of
our melodeons has not been questioned, and for
two years past the enormous demand has made
1t impossiblefo for us to meet our orders promptly.
With our increased facilities we feel warranted
in assuring our patrons that their orders will
he promptly met, and solicit a continuance Of
their patronage. PH
