Romors, sumerous but somewhat vagae and contra- Wiotory, of the progress of the rebol raid) are all that we Dave of that important movement, It is said that the Paidors wore lonving Hagerstown yesterday and retiring Biong the Potomac, in the direction of Shepherdstown. Dther reports state that they are stilt at Hagerstown, Bwaltggs re-eoforcements. Gen. Cadwallader has issued a Dall @Rhe people of Philadelphia to organize companies or the protection of the city, It was reported there yesterday that the rebels, twenty-five or thirty Cbousand strong, under the combiaed commands ‘Of Generals Johnston, McCausland, Imboden, Jack- on and Early, were about to concentrate at Cum- Werland, aod march from thence on Pittsburg and Wheel. fng, and from that piace to Cincinnati, and across the ‘Ohio river into Kentucky. From all these reports we can s@atber the fact, and no more, that there is a large force ‘of the evemy in Maryland; but as to their precise move- ‘Saonts or their designs we are in a mist. It was hinted by the Richmond and Petersburg jour- als some time ago, when alluding to the fact, then well * known to them, of Generai Grant's intention to undermine Petersburg, that mines were also being constructed un- ‘Ger our works. Reporte yesterday indicate the truth of ‘Bhat intimation. It is said that a mine did explode under ‘Our works on Thursday evening; but beyond the simple act we have no information either as to the point at ‘Which the explosion occurred or the result of the re- “Caliatory effort on the part of the enemy, Beyond this intelligence there is nothiug to report General Grant’s army to-day. ‘The rebel accounts of the springing of the mine at Poters- and its results, which we publish to-day, are highly Moteresting, giving, as they do, the otter side of the tory. Materlally they do not differ much from the de wecriptions of the event as previously given in these ‘Columns, allowing of course for prejudices natural to the foo.

No credit, of course, is to be attached to the story quoted from the Philade|phia Press, which gives as the ascer- ta.ned rebe} plau the outline of a splendid wild goose chase through Cumberland, Pitisburg, Wheeling and Cincinnati, and so acress into Kentucky, and back to Rebeldom, we suppose, by the Cumberland Gap. We do not see how this would compel the North to make peace— which of course is the object of the rebel ad- vanee; and we do see how it would practically put seventy thousand rebel soldiers out of the fight for two months. We suppose that General Grant has more deiinite knowledge of the rebel plans than any ove else, and we may confidently rely upon him to repel any invasion that the enemy has the means to make. The Pennsylvanians are evi- dently quite disposed to rely upon either the general government or General Grant, as the case may be; for they do not fly to arms en- thusiastically at the call of Governor Curtin. The Philadelphians will probably pay the same attention to General Cadwallader’s call that tney did to their Governor’s. . It is worthy of notice that while some rebel Papers seem to admit that a portion of the rebel army in Georgia came to Virginia with Johnston, it is also stated that Hood has been reinforced by two divisions ef Beauregard’s command. We have not as yet received our own acceunts of the battle which the rebel papers say was fought at Atlanta on the 29th ultimo. Hood, it will be remembered, was bloodily repulsed in attempts made to break our lines on the 20th, 22d and 28th ultimo. From the meagre statements of the rebel. papers it is probable that the fourth battle, on the 29th ult., with the same object, had the same results. Hood, it is said, carried two lines of our intrenchments, but on the next day his troops were “‘in their original position.” The Parti Press on the Potersb' Affair. How little of true patriotism and how much of partisan malignity distinguish the party press of this city may be seen from the remarks of the various newspapers upon the Petersburg affair. The Tribune, Times and Post make use of our repulse as an argument against General Grant. They are beginning to attack him just as they attack McClellan, and for the same reason—viz: that he will not pledge himself not to be a candidate against Lincoln. The Tribune, Timés and Post charge that General Grant is responsible for the Peters- burg repulse, because he has the chief control of the army; and as wickedness, like misery, makes strange bedfellows, the World, News and Express take the same greund, though with a different object. These papers remember to forget that General Grant has nothing to do with the details of anyengagement. He makes out his plan, and General Meade and the corps commanders arrange what divisions, brigades or regiments shall do the work. The Times correspondent, who is wiser than the editor, exposes the real culprit in the Petersburg af- fair. That culprit is General Burnside, who mismanaged the fight, precisely as he did at Fredericksburg. In the first place, he selected his worst troops for the battle. In the second place, he allowed his subordinates to draw lots for positions, instead of carefully select- ing the right men for the business before him. In the third ~place, he delayed ene hour longer than was necessary, as he did at Antietam, thus ing the rebels a ohance to recover from their first alarm and prepare for the reception of the storming party. We believe that General Burnside. ought to be and will be court martialed upon charzes based on the facts we have stated. We have said that the World, News and Er- press also attack Grant, though with a dif- ferent object. The gbject of the abolition ists is to re-elect Lincoln. The object ef the copperheads is «to secure’ the success of the rebellion. The World announces that Richmond cannot be taken, and that General Grant “lies foiled and panting before the unbroken front of Beauregard.”” The Vews calls for the relinquishment of the campaign and the return of Grant’s “shattered and broken” army to the defence of Washington. The Express plays its little fiddle in the same key. What terrible disaster has occurred to cause all this despondency? None whatever. The assault on the rebel works was a simple, ordinary incidentofa siege. The loss, except in negroes, was comparatively small. The sol- diers themselves do not look upon the affair as a great battle. The rebels were attacked, the negroes ran away, and that was ‘an end of it. Now the troops on both sides remain as before. ‘Where, then, is the excuse for the elamors of the copperheads? There is none. They aro siinply showing their malignant, disloyal spirit. They are crediting the rebels with successes they never won, and debiting us with defeats we have never encountered. Their whole tone and tendency is that of rebel organs. They ave‘printed for Richmond readers, and are bet- ter adapted for that circulation than the Rich- mond Eeaminer or the Dispatch. Like har- pies they befoul the namo of McClellan by pre- nding to be his defenders, aud they show how alse this pr is by assailing Grant in the same dishonorable manner that the radical or- guns assailed McClellan.

Tue Lars Cuampersnurc CaLamrry.—Awmong Several abusive anonymous communications, we have received one or two from apparently re- sponsible sources at Chambersburg in reference to the Inte dis: us rebel raid into that town which deserve a pas-ing notice. The first of these, signed Wm. J. Cook, will, however, serve our present purpose, Mr. Cook says that every account of this Chambersburg misfortune falls short of the reality; that “scarce an adequate idea can be formed of what hellish wickeduess has been perpetrated upon us without actual observa- tion;” that twenty-five hundred of the people of the town are homeless and houseless; that “three millions of dollars will not replace the property destroyed;” that the town and neigh- borhood have contributed their full share in men, money and materials for the war; tbat they had the right to expect the protection of the government, and that they cannot be held accountable for their late calamity. In support of this opinion Mr. Cook further says that on “Saturday last, at early morn, nearly three thousand of the very worst of rebel scoundrels, with six pieces of artillery, under the command of Bradley Joknson and the wretch McCausland, appeared within six miles of the town;” that their shells at day- break announced their near approach; and that, although only some five hundred of them entered the town, the main body being conve- niently near, resistance would have been mad- ness, had the citizens been armed and organ- ized; but, as they were not, what could they dot We answer that had the State authorities of Pennsylvania and the people of Chambers- burg taken thevproper warning from the rebel incursions into their borders of 1862 and 1863 they would not have trusted to the protection of the blundering administration at Washing- ton in 1864. The citizens of Chambersburg would have fortified their town aud organized a home guard for its defence equal to a proper reception of three thousand or tem thousand of the “very worst rebel scoundrels.” That dar- ing rebel rough rider, John Morgan, with five thousand mounted men from Kentucky, at- tempted a grand raid on the north side of the Ohio river last summer; but the way in which he was driven from Indiana into Ohio, and through Ohio till he and his whole force were captured or destroyed, we wou!d commend as an example to the people of the Pennsylvania border. Thus far they have not done their duty towards their own protection, and they must therefore bear the burden of the re- sponsibility for their late disasters, Mr. Cook next charges that the New York militia behaved very badly last summer at Chambersburg, notwithstanding their hospita- ble welcome; that on hearing that the “rebs” were coming they skedaddled before daybreak one morning, “leaving all their camp equipage, individual property, sardinestand Scotch ale by the gross and dainties in every variety,” and that “the people of the town thanked the Lord for their deliverance.” We confess that all this is news to us, as we have no doubt it will be to the soldiers directly concerned. We hold to the opinion that had the State authorities and the people of the Pennsylvania border de- pended a little more upon themselves and a little Jess upen the government for their own protection at this crisis they would have es- caped the ravages of these late rebel raids and earned the applause of the whole country. The destitute sufferers at Chambersburg, especially the helpless women and children among them, are still entitled to the, general relief. They, at least, were powerless to avert this late calamity which has fallen so heavily upon them. Let them be gencrously relieved; but let not the people of Pennsylvania cry again to Her- cules until they have put their own shoulders to the wheel. Gnoss¢Imposrrions upon Crrizens AND Emt- GRANTS.—We are continually in the receipt of communications and affidavits relative to the impositions practised by bounty brokers, un- faithful steamship companies and mock emi- grant agents upon unwary citizens and emi- grants from the Old Country. In one case we have 2 sworn statement in regard to the brutal manner in which a citizen of New York was drugged and.by violence forced into the ser- vice of a New Jersey regiment by certain bounty brokers living here; and in another we have a commnnication, undoubtedly trustwor- thy, detailing succinctly the circumstances, attending the arrival of a party of emigrants at Quebec on their way to the States, and the delay and sufterings they encoun tered on their journey hither. Inthe latter case it seems the emigrants were at the start made the victims of a want of faith or a want‘of ar- rangement on the part of a Montreal and Liverpool steamship company, which agreed to furnish them with good food, which they failed to do, and a speedy through passage from Liverpool, via Quebec, to New York and other parts of the States, at a spe d rate of fare. Instead of this, they were subjected to grievous delays at many points on the route from Quebec, were trequently beset by army recruiting agents, and were obliged to p: for food and shelter all their money— those who had the most helping those who had the least—until finaily their entire store was exhausted. The whole party is now in this city, without tands and in a deplorable condi- tion. They number seventy-two, comprising men, women and childre, with three newly born in’ It is time that efficient mea- sures were taken to put a stop to these un- lawful and cruel operations, and every eftort to that end taken will meet, the hearty ap- proval and co-operation of the community. ‘The names of parties, and other particulars in regard to cases like the above bronght under our immediate notice, are at the service of the authori away ts. S. Sune S —When General Grant goes to Washington it is a pretty sure sign that there is a military screw or two loose at headquarters. When Thurlow Weed goes to Washington it is asign that there is some shoddy to be looked after, And General Grant and Thorlow Weed were both reported yesterday in Washington. Exciting events, military and political, are on the carpet. Lrvcony’s Deava Wannant.—Lincoln signed his own death warrant when he put his name to the note addressed “to whom it may concern.” He is now politically dead, aud his funeral will take place in November, if he can be kept so loug. But moftification has already set in, Ravtean Coprmmnmeans.-The Times called Freinont a copperbead recently. Now, is Wade 4 copperhead, and is Winter Davis a copper- heed! Au early answer will oblige. Tue Prorie vs. Joun A. Dix axp Oraers— Juncs Russe.’s Decision. We publish this moruing the decision of Judge Russel touching the jegality of ihe late arbitrary proceedings of Geveral Dix, as an agent of the federal gov- ernment, against the newspaper establishments of the World and Journal of Commerce. Ina clear and convincing manuer Judge Russel draws the Ine between the constitutioaal guar- aotees which adhere to the loyal States and the rights tosuch protection which have beea for- eited by the rebellious States, and then turns over the case to the consideration of the Grand Jury. He turther decides that, under the circumstances, the verbal recognizance of the detendants is accepted as ample security for their future appearance, especially as one of tueir learned counsel has expressly ratified this arrangement. We submi! this constitu- tional decision as its own best exposition to the reader, and, in connection with the late scathing protest against the usurpations of President Lincoln from Hon. B. f. Wade and Winter Davis, we commend Juige Russel’s consistent views to the Presideut’s especial at- tention. He cannot begin too soon to study the difference between maintaining and supersed- ing the supreme law of the land. As Usvar.—The National Intelligencer of yes- terday morning published news in regard to Grant’s movements which our correspondents and those of the other New York papers were prohibited from telegraphing. This is another instance of the unfair and partial action of the Washington authorities towards the press. Ons Too Many.—Lincoln has issued one proclamation teo many. His proclamation about the reorganization of the rebel States was bis ruin. The best thing he can now do is to withdraw his name as a Presidential candi- date. Wnere Dors Greevey Stanp?—Greeley says that he concurs in the Wade-Davis manifesto. Can he, then, with any show of honesty, sup- port Mr. Lincoln? That is the question before him. Where does he stand? Farse Prerences.—The World says, “on behalf of the democratic party,” that Lincoln’s re-election will be forcibly resisted if he car- ties out his scheme in regard to the electoral votes of the rebel States. Who gave the World authority to speak on behalf of the democratic party? When did that India rubber and army porter concern become the organ of the de- mocracy? The Bohemians of the Warld are puffing themselves up like the frog in the fable. Let them be careful lest they meet the frog’s fate and burst.
