ance, in such a manner that they will not be in a hurry to repeat the experiment. It is obvious that Dix does not expect to capture Richmond. His whole design is to frighten the citizens to such an extent that they shall demand the protection of General Lee's army, and thus mar the great enterprise upon which he is bent. What that enterprise may be — whether it aims at the capture of Washington and Baltimore, and the disenthralled and regeneration of Maryland--or at the invasion of Pennsylvania, the capture of Philadelphia, and the transfer of the war to the heart of the enemy's country — or, finally, whether its object be merely to retaliate upon the enemy a few of the barbarities he has practiced against us — we know not. But, whatever may be the ultimate design, it is obvious that Gen. Lee's movements have stricken the whole Yankee nation with a terror, to which we never had a parallel in the South. Either to they have been playing a safe, and to them no doubt, a very amusin<
article of negroes alone. We say, then, make the whole Pennsylvania Valley an astonishment to future generations. Let the traveller, in times to come, lift up his hands with amazement, as he does in those countries denounced in the Old Testament — once flourishing communities now howling wildernesses. It was said that "no blade of grass ever grew where the horse of Attila had once set his foot." Let the Confederate army imitate the leader of the Huns in this particular. The Valley of Pennsylvania ought to become a sea of flame, like the prairies of the Western world. Nothing should be left that man could eat, or sleep up on, or shelter himself, or procure food with. All this might be done — the land might be turned into a desert, and yet the balance of destruction would be against us. The whole city of Philadelphia if burnt to the ground would not pay for the negroes they have carried off. We are opposed to plundering — it ruins the discipline of an army, and turns it over an ea<
n extent that rather than be drafted to support it again they have fortified some of the mountain districts in that State with a determination to resist the enrolling officers. Out of three enrolling officers who proceeded to the mountains of Pennsylvania, last week, to gather in the patriots, two of them got their baggage checked for the other world on the morning of the second day's ride. The third fled. In Indiana a public meeting has presented to the enrolling officer a series of resolutions, conveying the pleasant information that any attempt to enroll will be made "at his peril." If Pennsylvania news circulates in Indiana, this officer's reflections must be of the most gloomy character. To use the expression of the intelligent telegrapher at Wartrace, Tenn., "things is working." Maryland, it appears, is likely to be the scene of another battle. It is positively stated (but not by Northern papers) that Hooker has crossed into Maryland by the different fords between White
