Proposed Rebel Invasion Of Pennsylvania
The New York World has Baltimore
correspondent who processes to get relis-
Bile news from Richmond. He declares
that there has been grand military coun-
Gil ct Richmond during the winter, ct
which all the leading rebel commanders
were present. and plan Of offensive op-
erstions has been matured, the most i'm
portant Of which is to invade the North.
Lee, at the head of great army, is going
to threaten Washington, and penetrate the
State Of Pennsylvania. How this Is to be
done, the correspondent tells US thus:
aThe ides in regard to General Lees in.
vssion Of PennsylVsnis is, that by NOV
ing rapidly with the main body Of his
force into that State, while with q part Of
his army he threatens Washington, or
makes a feint toward soma other import
ant point in that vicinity, be can draw the
whole Of the Union army in the East to
some point in Pennsylvania, which he,.Will
select As sffording him the same advantage
Of position which General Meade enjoyed
at Gettysburg. That having this sdvsn-
tage Of position, he will bring on gem
ersl engagement with the main body Of
his forces, say fifty thousand men. His
arrangements will be 30 made that ct the
decisive moment his reserves, composed Of
twenty thousand fresh troops, ell veterans,
will srrive, and their presence, it is
thought will turn the scale Of victory.
In this battle the Confederstes expect that
the Union army will not only be defeated
but routed snd utterly broken up; and In
order to insure this, body Of ten thous-
and cavalry will slsO be held in reserve
who will charge upon the Union army al
the first Indication Of the giving way Of
the latter, and will follow up the first
charge by others, until the desired result
is attained. may ss well mention here
that when this invasion Of Pennsylvania
takes place, it is intended by the Confed-
crates that their army shall remain In thai
state for some time; and not only live on
the fat Of the land, but also make use oi
systematic measures for obtaining at least

state Sovereignty.

General Garfield, in q recent speech,
commenting upon the message Of Cover
nor Parker, of New Jersey, exploded the
sbsurd doctrine Of State Sovereignty in IS
clear and forcible style as we have ever
heard:
Ma. Speaker, this Lifts our subject above
corporations and monopolies to the full
hight Of a national question; might al
most call it question Of loyalty or disloy-
atty have only to say in regard to the
language Of this proclamation that If His
Excellency had consulted Calhoun and his

its doctrines stated much more ably and

The heaviest freshet known for ten years
occurred on the line of the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad on Saturday night.
The railrord is badly damaged at Cameron

Bull Run bridge was washed away entire

Several logs were taken out of the Cedar

pressed themselves in favor Of the dissolu-
tion Of the Union.
Mr.. Wood, resuming, said he believed
that II our Government would act in q
proper spirit, BY negotiation, peace could
be restored without the firing Of smother
gun.
He Wood was not in favor Of the recoe-
milton or the secession Of the Southern
States, but was in favor Of doing justice
to the Southern people by endeaToring to
restore them to the Union with all their
constitutional rights.
Mr.. schenck, Of Ohio, in reply to Wood
said he (Schenek) did not belong to any
such school, he was fer having no confer
ence with rebels in arms looking for their
recognition. he was for 30 efectuslI put
ting down the rebellion that it would
never raise its hydra head again.
The mere intimstion Of peace had been
scorned by the rebels, yet gentlemen here
would crawl on their bellies and lick the
rebels feet.
Mr.. Schenck spoke in scornful terms Of
Of Woods conduct, saying that the latter
was one who would abuse himself to the
rebels to restore the Democrats to place
and power.
Mr.. Voorhees,, without entering into q
question ss to the merits Of what Mr.. Long
had said, maintained the right Of Repre-
sentative in Congress to expresss his pub
Lie sentiments in behalf Of his oonstitu-
ents in decorous and proper manner.
This was all that Mr.. Long had done.
Had Mr.. Sehenok lived in other days
he would have been among the mod who
demanded the cruoifxion sf Christ, or
those who burned John Rogers at the
stake The slang uttered by Schenck was
more becoming a degraded bullies than 1t
was the presence and hearing Of gentle
men.
Mr.. Schehck briefly replied to Voorhees,.
Mr.. Colfsx asked the House to set apart
to morrow ct two o'clock on the resolution.
Mr.. Orth spoke in favor Of the resolu-
tion. He said if old General Jackson had
been in power, instead Of censure passed
on the gentlemen from Maryland, Harris,
the traitor would be in the old capitol
prison.
Mr.. Pendleton raised the question that
the language was nnpsrliamentary, call.
ing the gentleman from Missouri q traitor.
Mr.. Harris said to Mr.. 0rth, you are
liar.
Mr.. Orth replied that the vile slobber.
ing Of one convicted Of treason, fell silent
to his feet. BE then replied at length to
Mr.. Voorhees,.
Mr.. Keevner thought il was the right
and duty Of tho Goverdment to put down
the Rebellion. he was opposed to some
measures Of the Administration but that it
was idle to talk about peace while armed
rebsls are in the country.
Mr.. Davis of Missouri, said the question
was not whether the speech was delivered
BY the gentleman from Ohio, was treason
able or the law, but whether be WAS wor.
thy to be q Representative.

It can scarcely be said now that there is
any regular Stock Board. From early
morning until dsrk, Williams street is
crowded with hsggsrd, snxious-lookiug
men, crying to each other with hosrse
voices, and trying to attract attention to
"cslls by frantic gesticulstiOn. They
allow themselves no time to eat, though
they by no means neglect the stimulus Of
drink. Nor have they time fer sleep. For
as soon IS they have hastily made up the
accounts Of the day, they rush for the coal
hole on the Fifth avenue, where they clash
again together until late at night. The
smsll hours are taken again for adjusting
their books, and then, with pale cheeks,
red noses, and swollen eyes, they are ready

must be the result of such life as this ?

Our Letter from the Army Of the CuWber-

We print on the inside an interesting
letter from our Correspondent now at
Bridgeport. The writer expresses his
views Of the question referred to re-
Gently in letter from the 7th regiment.
The charges against Governor Tod are
made by the correspondent but receive no
editorial endorsement. We deem it best,
however, that our correspondent should be
permitted to express what he regards as
the general feeling Of the soldiers. There
is certainly need Of explanation. The
soldiers feel that they have been WrOnged
BY somebody. II there has been q wrong
done it ought to be righted. 1t is un-
worthy the honest dignity Of the govern
ment to deal unfairly with the soldier.
