Advance of the invaders.

--We learn from a member of the Rockbridge 2d Dragoons, (says the Lexington Gazette,) who has been with our gallant little army-since they were sent to Western Virginia, that our forces had retreated to the pass in the Cheat Mountains, about ninety miles west of Staunton-- hat they are some 2,500 strong, militia and volunteers — that the enemy had advanced upon them as far as Beverly, Randolph county, 12 miles in their rear. The invaders in Tygart's River Valley are estimated at from fifteen to sixteen thousand, with reinforcements behind them.

The marauders, it thus appears, are making their way into the heart of the State. Our people must look to their safety, and prepare to drive them back. It is high time to be fully aroused, and let the cry of To Arms! resound through the hills of West Augusta.
