In our last, which was issued two weeks we spoke of the possibility of tho iu-, vadcrs visiting our own neighborhood, and a great battle being fought before they would be allowed to return to Virginia -Little, it must be confessed, did we realize what we then included in that possibility. The fortnight past has developed from it a tcrribfc, and yet glorious reality f'TemWe in the desolation of our homcx, our fiiir farms and friendly firesides, the slaughter of thousands, and the mangling of tens of thousands of our fellow men, our friends, and many of them our own kindred, our fathers, our hi others, our husbands, our lovers, our sons. Terrible in the din, the dread, tho dire destruction of war iu its inObt appalling form. Glorious in tho fruits gathered, the vindication of truth, the triumph of right, the victory achieved for Liberty, Justice, the Union aud good Government. On Friday, the 26th ult, a hostile force consisting of Cavalry, came to our" town, going up to York and Carlisle.

They remained all night, taking what they wanted, robbing the stores and dwellings of food and valuables, and leaving what was of no use to thcmfcelvee. The surrender 'of the place, with 85,000 in gold aud silver, and other supplies of which they weie in need -were haughtily demanded and manfully refused Saturday these passed on East, aud left us a little time in which to digest what they had furnished in the room of what they had stolen. On Tuesday, the 30th ult. tho advance of Lee's main army appeared on Seminary hill from the direction of Charnbersburg. At the same lime Gen.

Bulb-id, of the Potomac Army, appeared on the opposite side of the town with a body of cavalry. It now became painfully evident that our own beautiful village was tobethescene ofaterriblc conflict. Thus rested things, each party gathering his strength and arranging his plans, i Wednesday thp 1st when the Eleventh Corps, supported by the First, passed south-west of the town to M'Pherson's farm, where began the fight. Gen. Reynolds, who led the First corps, fell before the battle had fairly commenced, being killed by a sharpshooter.

At 3 P. M. our forces were obliged to retire to Cemetery hill, which they did in good was not, however, without first capturing the rebel General Archer, and his entire brigade, remain in our hands At P. M. of Thursday the fight was the enemy now being the advancing and attacking party.

The roar of artillery and musketry was terrific from that time until dark, when as if by mutual consent, the wearied and battle-worn ceased the But it was only to open again on the fol- lowing morning with still more droudfal and terrible ferocity. This was the decisive Each had brought to the work his entire force. Along the whole line, extending from Wolf hill on our right, to a point east of the Euimittsburg road, about a mile from town, on the left the battle raged with a desperation and to an extent unknown in the previous history of the war. The enemy had delermined to crash our lines, break through and possess the Baltimore Pike. To accomplish this, whole brigades charged repeatedly our batteries, only to be mown down, captured, or driven tack in confusion, but they fell back only to rally and rush again with maddened fury into the red jaws of death.

Thus raged the battle with fcaiful carnage until 4 P. when the enemy withdrew and retired, wcalcrr twenty Jive to thirty thousand than when the battle Ixgftn.

Tho city of Cumberland was occupied yesterday by Geneial Kelly, aad has sufficed but little fiom the llcbel raid. As to the visit of the Rebels to that city, we learn from tho Civilians that Colonel Imboden, with his Rebel made his appeaiancc on Shriver's hill, a short distance below towu, oa Wednesday morning last, about o'clock. His "appearance caused considerable excitement among the citizens, a laigc number of whom left tho city As aoon as the troops were discovered oh the hill, a number of Federal cavalry were in towu, and having some doubts as to whether they were Rebels or Federals, took their horses and went up the Kill to see. They wore fired upon by tho Rebels. They then formed a company and started up again, aud were fired upon with winch burst near Beall's The Rebels shells in tie corporate limits After our cavalry all retreated Colonel Imboden sent a flag of truce into the city and asked for a suiren- der, was granted without any hesitancy.

Thc fiit were destroyed, Wt tlie last was extinguished, an alarm having bcca given a retreat ordued before it was fully ignitwl.

The Government siry stores were not burnt, tlie Rebels for- bcaiing for fear that the town would be involved in the Conflagration. Invasion Means. The invasion of the loyal States by the rebels meansi something moie than the rueru laying waste of territory, the stealing of horses and the of the people. What the rebel leaders want is the possession of territory in the North epual to that which the Government holds iu tho South. If Lee can succeed in making the borders of Pennsylvania and tho Ru-que- hannathc base of 1m operations--if ho can wrest the control of a large area of Northera teiritoiy from the Goveinuicnt, it would balance that which the eoufcdeiaeyj has lost in the South, and in the end might dc'more towaids forcing a compromise tl.an all tl.e hard blows which tho ienels could inflict in battle on tho Union forces.
