Stewart's Invasion, of Penn- sylvania. wv It 13 with a good dealot plcasuro and a full eharo of humor that wo read the Northern accounts of Gen. Stewart's dash round MeClellan into rennsyiva ; niii, brief mention of which has beon made in aback number of the Bulletin. A special correspondent of the Phila delphia Inquirer writes from Cham- borsburg, under dato of the 13th of October, as follows: "Thore has been a "high old time" in the town duiinr tlio past three days caused by the suddon appearauco of the rebels, but the cxcitetneni lias now somewhat subsided, and business is bo LMtininir to assume its wonted way. On Friday and Saturday, all trade and travel was suspended, but to day the lengthened countenances of our poo pie present a mure cheerful appearance. The visit of tho rebels was short and sweet, but they staid quite long enough ; and all but a few of their sympathizers (and there arc- many hero) wero de lighted when , thy departed. They came in rags and tilth, but went away like gentlemen that is, if good, new clothing will entitle a man to bo called gentleman, for tho stores ami two cai luads ot new clothing were seized and distributed among the party, and their appearance was highly creditable to Philadelphia tailors and seamstresses, who made up tho uniforms tor 'tho boys" in McClellan s army." We congratulate our "rebels" upon the good luck they had in gct:ingto wear tho "harness" intended for Me Clellan's boys. No doubt they needed new clothes, and they earned them by their bravery. Tho co respondent then goos on to recapitulate tho "immenso damage" done by the rebels to the railroad, cars, and tho engines, wood and water houses belonging to it, and Bays : "Tho warehouses of Messrs. Wundcr leich & Neid contained a largo amount ol ammunition and stores, among the former seven hundred muskets, and a quantity ot shells, loose powder, tfce. When tho building blew up, thero was no one near; but those in the other bcctions ot the towu made some of the tallest traveling that has ever been seen in this section of the country, or any where else. Fortunately no one was injured. These buddings were located on Second . street, near the Falling Spring Creek, and were leveled with the ground. Ono of tho shells was blown into Mr. Frederick Grove's sta tie, and it was totally consumed. Ono car was loaded with revolvers, which tho rebels carried off with them. Two long trains of cars, loaded with goods consigned to privato individuals, were not disturbed." Of courso tho rebels took the revolv ersand we cong'ratulato them on that, too.- Who Wouldn't take a pistol these times. ',- But thoso pistols went off before the Yankoes expected. As to the goods consigned to privato individuals, if the "rebels aped the Yankees who have pluuderod in .Tennessee for a irood while, they ' wouldn't have respected them, if they did'belong to private indi viduals. 'Wo can't congratulate the "rebels" for failing to' destroy them, too, provided they could not take them off. But the gentlemanly conduct Of I privates extorted the tribute to truth from following slig! tho correspoipnt : "Gen. HaiLton appeared to bo in command, aij appeared anxious that the citizens ould not suffer. Soon after ho ente 1 tho placo he rodo up to a house on Ml n street and told tho oc oupants of tl iouso to shoot down any privato thattttempted to enter the houses, unlet accompanied by an offi cer, and ho nuld protect them in the course. On j( the officers exhibited a long list o he names of tho promi nent Unionis'of this placo, and said ho was full posted in regard to tho feeings of ts people of this section." This remids us somewhat of the long list ofjscecsh" names which the Yankees h:i when they camo to Win chester, (i it, "rebels," you must sometimes unto others as others do unto you Retaliation is tho policy in war. lndcorresponuent goes on as rm I t follows : "Tho rdols wero accompanied by ono reside of this placo and several from Hagntown, who acted as spies and pilots. Among tho latter was a man who, is 'alleged, was a member of who lati Legislature, but wo can hardly crejt it These gentlemen de parted wi the company in which they camo. I they had remained here their neok would havo been encircled with a henon cravat. There re about eight hundred horses tulfi from the stables hero, ami thofarmoiin the vicinity, and a mini bor of ski y attenuated cquinss left in their placi " Well, tit part about the taking ot good horn (for which Pennsylvania is famous,) minds us awfully of the way the Yanjes aitcd in Tennesseo Franklin iunty especially. Wo hope the "rebel' got a lino ono to pay lor "Black Milie" whom the Yankees gat from the Uitor of the Bu. lotto.

Cashtown is said to h o been visited this morning by sixty :bels, who aro said to havo spent th needing night at Tannatts burg. The n i leaders, thero is reason to believe, pecting to defeat Mculellan in the lxt battle, sent Stuart on his late reojnoissanco in force, for the purposcjf obtaining a correct knowl edge of e topography of Pennsylva nia, an he thus enabled to march a largo i iy speedily on Ilarrisburg, first sen ng two parties of cavalry t: cut rai ad communication. One to cut that f the Pennsylvania Kail road at Moui Union, the other that of the Baltimcf and Ohio, below Frederick. Stuaidiaving accomplished this ro connoislnce, withdrew into Virginia. It is belycd in official circles that there may bcjnall parties of stragglers, who were uiblo to rejoin tho main body, yet proling Among the mountains. On Sbrday morning, tho rebels de. stroyedjll tho telegraph instruments, batteritjand a number of miles of wire at Chat orsburg; but, notwithstanding this, thugh the energy of the Presi dent of o Atlantic and Ohio Telegraph Coirtpa , Col. John II. Berryville, all repairs ero made, and tho Chambors burg ( !0 ro-openod, and communica tion w Gen. McClellan's headquart ers est lished Suturday evening." In e jection with this brilliant raid of Gei Stuart's the Washington Star says: "A ftn who arrived here this morn ing fri near Conrad's Ferry, states that hwas in tho prosenco of General our officers' i Stuart a few minutes before ho crossed the river with his marauding force in retreat from Pennsylvania. Stuart in formed him, in a sarcastiuynanner, he had fooled tho whole party," but regret tod ho had not accomplished what was intended when ho slartod, as ho was expected to reach Frederick, Maryland, destroy the Government stores at that point, then destroy the bridge over tho Monocacy liver ; but that all things taken into consideration, ho had carried out his piogrammo with much tmccoss. Stuart's men and horses looked ex tremcly exhausted, but tho former wero in high glee, and from tho looks of the crthing on their horses, and that which they had on tneir persons, and that which they had tied on their extra stolen horses, which numbered about 1,000, a change would be very accepta ble, especially shoes and boots, of which they had a largo quantity. Gen. Stuart sent his compliments to a num ber of United States officers, with whom he was acquainted in old times." Lieutenant Generals. The President has appointed seven Lieutenant Gene rals to command tho several army corps, under a recent act of Congress. Tho nominations wero confirmed by the Senate last Thursday, in Executive session, but tho list has not' yet been returned to the Adjutant General's office Keport says, and doubtless truly, that Longstreet, Jackson, llardeo and Peiuberton, aro among the seven. - McClellan h:is always declared ho would never light for emancipation, lie now prohibits its discussion in his army, and still continues to hold his commission. lie must feel like a de graded dog. The Macon Telegraph of the 21st re marks : As the returns from tho town elections in Connecticut come in they continue to exhibit large democratic gains. Thus far tho vote shows that 40' have go no democratic, 28 republican and 14 fusion. Last year 04 of tho same towns went republican and 24 democratic. Says the Montgomery Mail : Two mammoth engines complete, which in days past have done good service in tho Confederacy, havo arrived, overland, from a point not necessary to desig nate, and will be immediately transfer red, to a craft somewhere, destined to do her part in making blockaders " lie fudder " or "swim like a rock." Verily a portion of the good Time has come! Daniel S. Dickinson has gone oyer, body and boots, to Lincoln. Ho de nounces the Seymour Democrats. A letter from Mississippi to a gen tleman in Lynchburg, says that the prices of substitutes in that State is from five thousand to eight thousand dollars. The Indian war in Minnesota is said to be practically ended. Fiftcon hundred of tho hostile Indians are pris oners, and many others coming in.

Mr. Mitchell, during his former residenco in the South, was the constant advocate of secession. His political sagacity long nuw and predict ed the dismemberment cf the American Union. Mr. Mitchell has two sons, captains in the army, both of whom have recent ly distinguished themselves in the re cent battles. Capt. Mitchell, of tho 1st Virginia Volunteers, was wounded in the battles around Richmond. A third son accompanies Mr. Mitchell to the Confederate States. A host of friends will welcome tho leader ot Young Ireland to the Confederacy. Could not an Irish brigade, with John Mitchell ns leader, bo organized to 'meet Corcoran or Meagher? ATo.s ferrous.
