mbersburg. As far as we can understand the situation, McClellan's lines did not extend beyond Williamsport, the main body of his army being at Sharpsburg and Harper's Ferry, while the rebel army, under Gen. Lee, had retired mostly upon Martinsburg and Winchester. The invasion of Pennsylvania, therefore, is feasible enough, astam, McClellan has been gradually but slowly pushing his army forward into Virginia. Had he moved his army suddenly and in mass, by any particular route, say Harper's Ferry or Williamsport for example, the rebel army would have recrossed into Maryland at some other point, above or below, and thus forced McClellan to return and detimore Philadelphia and New York. He has, therefore, tried to keep them in doubt as to his movements, by slowly moving about on either side of the Potomac at Harper's Ferry and Williamsport, and they, understanding his game, have outflanked him by this raid into the Cumberland Valley, by the circuitous route of Hancock.

Fortunately the recent militia gathering established the organizations, which will now be useful for the people to rally around, to repel the invaders, and as the telegraph says that Governor Curtin has commenced sending forces forward to defend the State we presume that he has promptly called out those nearest and most serviceable. From the populous counties of Berks, Schuylkill, and Lancaster, help will no doubt go forward immediately, although the rapidity with which the rebels advance seems to give assurance that they have thoroughly informed themselves of the defenceless condition of the State, and have resolved to profit by it to the utmost. The natural inquiry, what is the object of the invasion, is not difficult to answer. Since the great battle of Antietam, McClellan has been gradually but slowly pushing his army forward into Virginia. Had he moved h

movement of the "rebels," says: The telegram brings us news which we scarcely know how to credit, although it bears the impress of authenticity, and emanates from the highest official quarters in the State. It seems that a body of three thousand rebel cavalry, under the command of General Stuart, have managed to turn McClellan's flank by crossing the Potomac at Hancock; and, marching rapidly northward into Pennsylvania, crossed the mountains into the into the rich and prosperous Cumberland Valley, captured Mercersburg, St. Thomas, and finally the flourishing town of Chambersburg.

and general rally of all our available militia forces and prepare for an advance against the enemy. It is true that such a movement at this time would be most unfortunate, in view of the approaching election, which this rebel invasion may have been intended to influence, by drawing off the Republicans and leaving the Democrats in a majority at home. The Administration at Washington could help us in this emergency by sending to Chambersburg the available forces from all parts of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, which perhaps will be done. Still we must all now be prepared to rally for the defence of our own State. Unless we do this, the rebel detachment which has captured Chambersburg may just as easily take Harrisburg, and establish a provisional government at the State capital, under the auspices of Hughes and his coadjutors, most of whom would not be slow to avail themselves of this opportunity. The times are perilous, and require plain speaking and prompt action. Le

No accounts have yet been received of the losses on either side; but ours is supposed to be large, from the mortality among the field officers. A large ambulance train is now leaving, Louisville, to bring the wounded hither. Louisville, Oct. 10, 4 P. M.--Early yesterday morning Gen. Buell attacked Gen. Bragg's forces at Chaplin Creek, in the immediate vicinity of Perryville. A short but terrific fight ensued, when the rebels broke and retreated rapidly over three diverging roads Southward, our forces in close pursuit. It is hoped that the lot will be bagged. At the last accounts Gen. Gilbert's forces were in the rear of the rebels and some distance below them. Military exigencies require the suppression of details. No further accounts of losses on either side have been received. Louisville is in great excite

M. --Dispatches just received from Shippensburg confirms the news of the occupation of Chambersburg. The advance rebel force consists of 1,000 cavalry and six pieces of artillery.
