KARRISBO. @ SPECULATIONS. ‘Whe speculations regarding the designs of the rebels ave a8 various ay ever, That they are pushing a heavy columa towards the Suequehanna is certain, But now arises the question, what ig the rebel goveral’s groatest motive for so doing? The spoils that he may procure in this enterprise would nover compensate for tho risk he incurs. The latest and most ingenious motive ascribed to bi isthe destruction of Hooker’s army in the following manner:—He pushes a soluma North, while with bie main body be holds all the mountain passes and a line of retreat, and thus guards bis rear. The advance columo detaches part of the Union army and distracts the Union generals while it gives the enemy the advantage of interior lines. Hooker, it is presumed, will attack Lee’s army in the rear—tbat is, in the mountain passes, where the enemy can defend themselves to advantage and calculate on repals- ing and demoralizing tbo Union army. Forces from Bragg’s army , vow supposed to be in the vicinity of Rich- mond, could then alt.ck Hooker’s army in the rear, and’ thus the revels may count on destroying it. This ia view that I have just heard expressed as among strange poenibilities of these latter days. Governor Curia AA wort of the mlftary mbn bero are fenyinand that the encmy is bent on the occupation of this city. The main body of Eweil’s column is stretched along the road between Chambersburg and Carlisie, while powerfal columms, doubtless for the purpose of protecting the flank ef the main column, extend from Chambersburg to MeC.aueilsburg on the ove side and to Cettysburg on the oper. It is sadly interesting to observe the movonients of the inhabitants of the Cumbor- Jand valley at present.

When she news of the rebel advance upon York reached here it threw the place into an indescribable Gutter; but an the fact became more and more certain the excitement Of the citizens of Columbia and the neighboring villages knew no bounds. This condition of affairs gradually grew until Saturday last, when it culminated in a general panic. ‘Tee country people from the direction of, York, who had Deen coming over for several days in long lines across the Dridge, did not diminish the excitement of the Colam- Dians. On Saturday last, between ten A. M. and four FP. ‘M., it is eetimated that, besides everything else, four thoarand borses passed over the bridge to Columbia from the south side of the river. ‘his is independent of those in harness. ‘THR TROOPS FALLING BACK. Gradually our forces, who consisted of infantry and cavalry, tell back from before the enemy from York to Wrightsville, always keeping them io vicw, however, and thoee of our cavairy who were acting as scouts some times approaching quite near the enemy. The distance from York to Wrighteville is only ten miles by the turn- pike, along which the main body of the rebel column, consisting of two brigades of Ewell’s corps and four bup- dred of Anhby’s cavalry, advanced. sKrMIsHNS. Some ehots were exchanged between the rebels and our cavairy, whe consisted of the Philadelphia City rooy and a company of citizens from Columbia mounted: om their own borses. The rebels made several attempts te flank and capture owr men, bat were always dis- covered by the scouts. 41) this maneuvring occurred youterday afternoon. THR COLVMBLs MRIDGE—RUNLE PIT. Before this, however, preparations had been made to extend # military recepticn 40 the enemy on his arrival at Columbia. The bridge over the Susquebasna was prepared so that « few blows would make it impassable, ‘The citizens wore organizing companies; rife pits were being thrown up on the river bank opposite the town, beyond the villnge of Wrightsville, and every precaution wad taken to guard against surpriee. Brass six-pounders ‘and irom Griffin guve of about the same calibre were Drought forward and placed #0 an t rake the bridge. Guards were placed o# and around it as the forces fell back from York. ALARM COMTHUTRG. Notwithatandiag ai) this, the citizens were in a great state of alarm, A man arrived from York om Saturday afternoon with a promasure despatch of the capture of \bat place. Every one expected the immediate approach of the enemy on the spot. This was amusingly illustrated Dy 4 circumstance that ocourred s few hours after. A party Of our own cavalry dashed over the bridge at rather ‘9 quick pace, and terrified every one by the suddenness of thelr approach, who, without stopping to inquire, cov- cluded they were a party of tho enemy. ‘‘The rebels,” “the rebelg are coming,” ran through the strecte. Wo- men fled te fourth steries and basements, and men wher- ever they could find a shelter. There was a general slarm and no abow of fighting. The old and yeung were terrified slike, and all Were equally relieved and de- lighted when they peresived that tho cavalry were | friends inatead of foes.

The alarm has subsided here a good deat, and the citizens begin to congratulate themselves that they are free from the .re- dels, and hope soon to see them driven from the State and the rebellion ended. RUMORS AND REPORTS. ‘There are various reports of the rebel cavalry trying to crore the river at Brenneman’s and other points up the river, and below this point; but there is nothing certain. ‘Yhe forces hero are drilling and perfecting their organiza- tion, and reinforcements are constantly expected.

The latest is that the rebcls bave crossed the Suequehanna above Columbia, and have taken possession of that place, On irquiring at the tcle- graph office about the truth of this report, I found they bave no news frow Columbia to-day, aud cannot find tho operator ; and this hes probably given rise to the rumor. EXCITEMENT UNABATED—PANIO OF CITIZRNB. The citizens crowd the streets to-day again, and the excitoment is unabated. Men stand in groups every- where and in crowds around tho railroad depot, There are now thousands of men bere capable of bearing arms if they had them and were willing.” Unfortunately the eveute of the past twonty-four Lours Bave too sadly con- vimced me that either of these theories will hold. The ‘ory is, what ie iooker’s army doing? Where is Hooker? or why do we not hear from Hooker? ‘There are various reports from Harrisburg this morn- iby.

The opinion of the wisest men bere, and those who are thoroughly acquainted with the river, is that Lee will Dever commit such a Diunder as to cross it in force. His cavalry may swim the river at different points and at- tempt raids; but the design of Lee is to make Cumberland valley the battle field, It also stated by parties who have arrived here from the southern part of the State that the Army of the Potomac is somewhere in the vici- nity, on the different roads leading north.

Campbell, have re- turned, About fifty, Including three lieutenants, are yet to be accounted for. 1s is said that one hundred and fifty colored men were captured by the rebel cavalry at Elward’a ferry yester. day, together with Giteen barges loaded with government stores, The barges were burned, with most of their val- uable contents, consisting of rations of all kiuds, Reports generally agree that ove hundred negroes were captured, with the large train of wagons and mules near Rockville, on Sunday, A gentleman in that vicinity had thirteen horses stolen from hie stables. Two of our citizens, visiting their farms, near Draines- ville, Baye returned hither mmus their carriage and horses, which were confiscated by the rebels, They rep- resent that the enemy consisted of nearly four thousand men, with fifteen pieces of artillery, under General Fira- bogh fee.

This may be true, ap Mt ts not yet ascertained by which party of the rebela the” railroad was destroyed at Sykesville. ‘The indications are that General Lee feels confident of sustaining himself in Maryland without the support of the force now in the direction of Harrisburg. It is stated that Colonel Baker, of the Detective corps here, went last night within the lines of the rebels at Rockville, He states that the force is large. Postmaster General Blair was with his father at Silver Spring yesterday, and both were obliged to come into the city om account of the proximity of rebels.

FEELING ABOUT HOOKER AND THE ADMIN- ISTRATION. ‘Yesterday was truly a day of excitement in this city. The war news from ail quarterse—North, South, East and ‘West—occasioned a stir among our citizens, such ae bas been witnessed only two or threo times since the com. Mencement of this rebellion. The foreshadowings in the morping journals of what might soon be expected frdm Port Hudson, Vicksburg and General Rosecrans were read with the deepest interest. The rapid movements of the Febel forces in the southern counties of Peansylvania seemed to astound the most sober members of our com- munity, and to convince those who have been singularly skeptical hitherto that the present movement of General Lee is something more than a mere plundering raid, and means bona fide invasion ef the free districts of the North, But the particular news whieb caused the moat pro- found sensation yesterday was the removal of ‘Fighting Joe Hooker,’ ‘at hie own request,” from the command of the ‘finest army on the planet.” The feeling evinced Dy the pubjic at large was that of the highest satisfaction, and it is only putting on record the simple truth toadd that our reporter discovered very little sympathy for the falten fortunes of the deposed chieftain. ‘The most sensible and temperate manifested a dieposi- tion to permit the ex-commander to ‘die in peace,” and leave hie career to the judgment of posterity But, as ‘Wilt ever be the case so long as the world exists, ihe tem- perate were pot io the majority, and therefore much hard language was poured out by the thousands who have never counted themselves among the particular admirers or partisans of General Hooker, but rather prided them. selves upon being bis opponents, «Fighting Joe’ was the subject of worse abuse ana more cutting sarcaem than even the famous general who boasted that his head. ‘were always ‘in the saddle,” and professed to ‘tee such t an ‘lines of retreat,” or the velf-sacrificing Burnside, who sank into \osignificance after his toglorious amsaults on the heighte of Fredericas- ‘Durg. ‘Poor Joe,”!as many of those whom we heard speak yesterday contemptuously styled him, had ‘none #0 poor as to do h'm reverence.” The glories of ihe fifth commander of the noble Army of the Potomac were lost forever, even to those who wege formerly his most en- thusiasticadberente, .

I havo no compassion for aman who puts bineelf forward as a great military genius, and unmercifully criticises the abilities of other. Fis iguom{nious fall was rictty merit* ? “Who is this Meade, who ig Hooker's successor?”? in- 4uired one of the party of the last sporker. “I believe he ie am excellent officer,’ anawered the party addressed, ‘‘and at least has modesty #» 1ecom- mend hin, which Hooxer never had.

His address ‘on tking command of the array was modest and soldier. ly, and I think shows him tobe a man of good taste and discretion ” “Yes: but why wag not General McClellan reoniled to ‘command the soldiers who g0 love and reverenco him?” asked @ gentieman who bad hitherto been a silent Metener. ‘It seems to me,’ he continued, *‘to be per- fectly incomprehensible. I cannot imagine why tho ad- ministration do not place McClellan whore the aimost unanimous yoice of the peopledemands. It seems like contempt and uttor disregard for the wishes of the pe ple, ‘Tho first soldier of the republic seems to be the last thought of,” ‘We can know very little,‘of course,” remarked the first gentieman, whose remarks are given above, ‘‘ubout the motives of the administration; but it docs certainly seem extraordinary that the services of General MoMlel- laa are not availed of in the present crisis. I must say 1 consider him to be the most accomplished soldier in the country.” “and 80 dol,” “and I,” “and J,” exclaimed the whole party, almost in one breath. ‘(It iseven criminal, this juggling and gamb!ing with the lives of such splendid soldiers as those who form the Army of the Potomac,’’ continued the last speaker, in a tone of much energy and some indigoation. ‘This little conversation will serve in some measure as ‘@ reflection of the public ‘eeling, as given vent to yes‘er- day. The popular cry for McClellan seemed to be quite as strong of and stronger even (han, the hostility evinced sowards Hooker, Aé régards the news from Pennsylvania, as already stated the feeling was that of wonder and amazement. But it seemed to be the wonder which people experience jo hearing and seeing extraordiuary things without having aby special interest In them per se, It cannot be dis- guiked that the indifferenco already shown under remo ably exciting circumstances by the poplo of Pennsylva nia 48 but too extensively prevatent in this region. Tho people ib general appear to be so thoroughly disgusted with the management of affairs that they have lost in- terest in the momentous events occurring around them every day, and which may even be brought home to them at no late period, Nothiag Dut calamity seems to be anticipated, avd therefore there is a widesprend apatby and-recklessness of results. During:the day there were rumors of the fall of Harris- burg circulated: in the streets. The announcement oc- casioned just that ‘alight amount of sensation that aman feels who has secn a play several times and knows very*well what will be the denouement. The capture of the capital of the Keyatone State reemed to be a thing ‘that they regarded as a matter of course. ‘The fall of Philadelphia and Camden, N. Ji, was can- vassed quite carelessly, and tho probability of the rebels ven getting within range of the Empire City was ais cussed without exhibition of alarm or solicitude. If you sought to ascertain the caure of this indifference, you were not long in discovering that it did not grow out of any ‘want of patriotiem in the people, but if a settled convic- tion, which argument could not remove, that the govern- ment is not equal te the crisis, Thogeneral feeling might be summed up in an expressive remark utterd by a gen- tleman yesterday :—'‘If we had a General Jackson in the White House to-day thie damped rebellion would bave been knocked to Hell loog ago.” Unfortanate Affair in Western Virginia.
