Mercersburg is nine miles west of Greeneastle, aud Cove Moun- | tam being the same distance southwest of the iirst named place, it is prohable that the rebels entered the State at ihree different points, anc that they did not diverge at Greencastle, for Waynesboro’, (in which direction another col- i umn is said to have gone,) is over ten miles Sonthers* of the former place. Judging from their movements thus far de- veloped, the object of the invading force is to damage three points, viz: Harrisburg, the Capitol cf the State; the Northern Central Hroac. abont Hanover Junction or York, Sud the Pennsyivania Central, at or near New Hemiton or Mount Union, Huntingdon coan- ty. We presume, of coursa, that the Cum- berlaad Valley Railroad, from Chambersburg to Huerisburg, and the road from Gettysburg to Hanover Junction (on the Northern Central) will be destroyed, to prevent their being used by the Rebels; and tis being tho case, they have taken the nearcst and best roxtes to the several points indicatad. j From Mercersburg to New Hamilton is 10 miles, over good turnpike and@ other roads, and throagh ths rich ceunties of Franklin and Huntingdon, and an immense amount of dam- age cowd b one here to the large furnuces <8 in the vicinity.
