It would be contraband, as yet, tostate the ultimate design of the movement, and I shail only narrate what has already occurred, viz: that the 2d Corps, followed by a heavy force of cavalry, under Sheridan, crossed the James river, at the lower pontoon bridge, yes- terd#y morning, and that the cavalry passed to the right of the infantry, and started out towards the New Market road, What the ul- terior course and destination of the latter is, I leave the sagacious reader to conjecture.

We have had abundant experience ot the unfruitfulness of a chase of the enemy up the Valley, when they find it expedient to avoid giving battle. There is a race for Staun- ton or some of the gaps, in which the rebels have the advantage both of start and distance, and are sure to boat us. So, I am inclined to There is one other point to be taken into con- sideration, and upon it may depend the whole question. The enemy may be sufficiently in need of the crops of the Valley to make it an imperative necessity that they should fight for them. It is undoubtedly the fact that these | crops have furnished, to a very considerable extent, the subsistence for the army at Rich- | mond, and that autumn after autumn the reb- els have been successful in gathering them. This year they have a double inducement to prize, The cutting off of sup- plies from other sources has increased their necessities, whilst the Valley, always a rich and teeming granary, this year has augmented ‘Therefore it may be a point of necessity for the enemy to fight for the food rincipal army this Evidently itis the determi- y mete nation of our military authorities that they | shall not gather in these crops withont a con- | test: and therefore, as I said in the beginning ot this letter, the question as to who is to be master in the Valley is once more to be tested. It is not to be disguised that the troops in this department—I mean those permanently stationed in it—are not in the best condition. Indeed, in view ofthe frequent change of com- msn¢ers, this must be expected as a legitimate | result, and it has been increased by loose dis- | cipline and a system of almost unchecked they marched that would demoralize the best soldiery in the world. But these things are _There is nothing very important from up the river this morning.

PHILapEL?usA, July 30,—A special despatch to the Bulletin dated Hagrisbarg, P@; 941 3% gays: The Rebels continue their advance. They are marching in three columns, one of which halted at St. Thomas,a pointsome few miles from Chambersburg. Since three a. m. of to-day, no telegraphic dispatches have been received over the Ameri- can Line. The inference is that the operator fled or had been captured ; a few minutes previons to that hour he notified the Harrisburg and Pittsburg offices that the advance guard of the rebels had entered that town. The suppositions of yesterday have been confirmed, and in official circles here it is be- lieved that it is their intention t go to Bedford county and the mountains adjacent, a sort of general rendezvous. The Hon. Thomas A. Scott proceeded to Bed- ford in a special train yesterday to conter with the Governor. The latter returned with him to Harrisburg to-day. Nothing has been heard definitely whether the rebels are destroying private property or pillaging the country in this advance. There is none of that alarm shown that was so painfully manifested during the former rebel incursions. It was hard to realize that a bitter and relentless foe was in clese proximi- ty. but nevertheless it is so. The Harrisburg Patriot and Union says the telegraph wires are all down between the former place and Cumberland. The dispatch came by way of Frederick. The agent of the Adams Express Company yesterday refused to receive freight for beyond Chambersburg, and to that point only at the risk of the shipper. Trains on the Northern Central road are still running as usual. The Cumberland Val- ley road will run their trains only to Carlisle. Later of the Rebel Movement into Pennsylvania.

Curtin. seem! HARRISBURG, July 30.—The most experi- enced military men at the post are convinced that the invasion of the State is by a large force, composed of the best troops of Lee’s army. It is also believed that the invasion is of a character too gigantic to be regarded as a mere raid. The telegraph operator has left Shippens. burg, and the presumption is that the enemy has thrown out strong advance parties in that direction. Since 3 o'clock this morning we have had no communication with Chambersburg. At that hour the rebels entered and now hold the place. Major Gen. Couch is at Carlisle, directing the necessary means of defense. The details of which cannot of course be alluded to. The presumptien is, however, that he will be able to offer a stern resistance to any ad- vance that may be made in this direction. The Governor has just issued the following proclamation to the people of Harrisburg: PENNSYLVANIA ExECUTIVE CHAMBER, Har- risburg, July 30, 1861.—The enemy have once more entered Pennsylvania. They occupied Chambersburg at 3 o’elock a.m. to-day, with cavalry and artillery. A few hours will de- velop their force and intentions. Itis probable their movements maybe di- rected against the city. In view of suchacon- tingency, I therefore call upon the people of Harrisburg and vicinity to organize at once to defend their homes. Arms and ammunition will be delivered to each organized company, upon application to the Adjutant General. No muster into the service either of the State or the United States will be required. (Signed) A. G. Curtin. An immense town meeting is now being held in the cpurt-house, and the people are enroll- ing themselves for organization to defend the city. Adjutant General Russell has just issued an order which is posted on all the newspaper bulletin boards, to the effect that arms will be issued to all reliable citizens. Diep or APPOPLEXY.—Thomas F.

D INVASION OF PENNSYL- THE REPORTE. peek The public, accustomed to Harrisburg panic dispatches, will of coutse receive those we publish to-day with due allowance for the singular wondermongering gullibility the tel- egraphic writers in that quarter have mani- fested whenever a visit from rebels in arms is apprehended there. We do not believe that any considerable body of rebel cavalry, even, have entered Pennsylvania; nor do we appre- hend that apy considerable rebel force can do so and return south of the Potomac, except as exchanged prisoners. Last night a dispateh reached Baltimore positively asserting the ap- pearance of a large rebel force between Boones- boro’ and Hagerstown. This torenoon it turns out thé force in question was a body of our ows troops on the march in that vicinity. We mention this fact as an illustration in point. Other good authorities think the report very doubtful, and that no armed rebels are yet in Maryland. Trains run regularly from Sandy Hook and Frederick. {Nore.—We have information from up the river that satisfies us that this Moseby story is acanard.—Ep. Star. } NEW YORK STOCK LIST.

From the Front—Terribie Fighting at At- lanta—The Rebels in a Tight Place, We learn from positive and reliable informa- tion, direct from the front, of fierce and san- guinary fighting at and around Atlanta. The fightmng continued on Thursday and Friday, resulting in great slaughter on both sides. The 4th Corps sustained fifteen successive charges, but repulsed the enemy every time, with heavy loss. The 20th Corps lost twelve hundred in killed and wounded, but invariably drove the enemy. The rebel General Stearns, who figured quite prominently in Nashville at one time, was killed in front of the 40th Indiana, and within a few feet of their works. The en- emy left their dead and wounded on the field. Chattanooga Gazette. Great Raid into Al Opelica. We learn that the Atlanta papers of the 19th contain the news that a large body of Federal troops had reached Opelica, Ala.. and des- troyed the railroad bridges connecting Macon, Atianta and Columbus with Mobile and Mont~ gomery. This is one of the grandest achieve- ments of the war.—Chattanooga Gazette, 234.

This number shows & considerable falling off—the number in June having footed up 150, and in July of last year 162. THE NEW REBEL RAID OR INVASION. There is considerable discussion as to the point where the rebels crossed into Mary- land unobserved and penetrated into Pennsyl- vania as far as Chambersburg without de- tection. They could not have gone by the way of Hagerstown, and though they might have crossed at Williamsport and pushed on to- wards Chambersburg by the turnpike road through Greencastle, yet they could not have escaped observation intaking thatroute. The distance from Williamsport to Chambersburg is about th ary miles. The probability is that the rebels crossed at Hancock, (the route taken by Bradley Johnson in the late raid,) and from thenee to Chambers- burg via Mercersburg and Greencastle. Ata late hour on Thursday night the cars were running from Hagerstown to Chambers- burg, bat no passengers were allowed to pass over the road, and the trains were only ran- ning for the purpose of carryiog freight. Communication between Hagerstown and Frederick remained uninterrupted yesterday morning, as letters mailed at Hagerstown yes- terday 70’clock &.m., were received here to- The Road Cut day. Yesterday morning Hagerstown was still oceupied by Averill’s and Cole’s cavalry, but all the stores were closed and businessentirely suspended. No person was allowed to leave Hagerstown in either direction without a pass from the military antborities. No rebels had made their appearances on the Maryland side of river, between Williamsport and Harper's Ferry, but it was reported at Hagerstown that they were concentrating their forces at Shepherdstown. HOOD’S REPORT. Gen. Hood’s official report of the engagement before Atlanta that occurred on Friday of last week, which will be found elsewhere in to- day’s Star, is but a tissue of misrepresenta- tion and fabrications. Itis true, as he says, that the rebels captured perhaps twenty-two pieces of artillery from usearly in the engage- ment; bat heomits to add, what is nevertheless true, viz: that ere the conclusion of the day’s fighting Sherman recaptured nearly all of them; ard further, that he left on the field of battle (from which he was driven) near- ly as many dead alone as we lost throughout; the action. He also forgot or omitted to state that his aggregate loss, ere compelled to retreat whence he came, was at least three times as great as Sherman’s. He is evidently playing the brag game, to such an extent as to make it plain that nothing short of magnificent 1—-g on his part will suffice to keep the spirits of the Confederacy up to the point of continuing the struggle in his quarter with any show of spirit. ‘We hear (and have every confidence in its truth) that our general officers now serving in that vicinity all regard the fall of Atlanta as a foregone conclusion; the only problem in con- nection with it remaining to be solved being— what portion of the rebel army can be taken, or annihilated, ere and when Sherman elects to take it. GREAT EXCITEMENT AT CARLISLE, A private dispatch received in this city at 1 o'clock to-day, from Carlisle, Pa., states that there is a terrible excitement there on account of the rebel demonstration. Orpuans’ Court, Judge Purcell.— This morning, letters testamentary were issued to Henry ©. Baker on the estate of John Smith. The will of the late Mrs. Norah Digges, be- queathing her estate to her children, was par- tially proven. Letters of administration on the estate of Wm. McKenzie, with the will annexed, were granted to Michael Thompson; and the latter was also appointed guardian to the minor child of Geo. W. Johnson. ae ee STATE OF THE THERMOMETER.—At Frank- lin & Co.'s, opticians, No. 244 Pennsylvania Bvenue, the thermometer stood to-day at 1 o’clock, 93 in the shade, and 117 in the sun. fesse \aaee AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.— Drowned.—Yes- terday, alittle boy named Allen Sedgwick, was drowned in Rock Creek, at the foot of Dunbarton street.

It is believed that it was nothing tore than a brief chicken-stealing expedition by mounted guerrillas. LATER. The following, received since the above was written, refers apparently to the same rebe} demonstration : Yesterday morning, about 11 o’clock, a emall detachment of rebel cavalry, numbering per- haps fifty or seventy-five men, crossed the Po- tomac into Maryland at White’s Ford, a short distance above Edwards’ Ferry. Their inten- tion was doubtless to intercept one of our wagon trains, but after inquiring of the farm- ers it there were any Federal troops in the vicinity, they returned to the Virginia side ct the river without doing any harm farther than gobbling up a few horses belonging to private individuals.
