Harrisiii'Ko, July 7 The Rebels drove a
regular company of I'nited States troops (the ad
vance cavalry of this department) out of Hacrs
town fHtcrduy, witu a loss of few wounded
and two killed.
I Otr furce numbered only seventy; It had
driven the Rebels out of the town the day before,
taking three prisoners one lieutenant and two
privates.
Our Regulars retreated to the State line at throe
tb;t morning. The C'bambersburg Bank baa
arnt all its money to this po ut. All busiucss
In Chambcrsburg is stopped. Cannon are planted
in the streets, and a strong determination is ex
hibited by the citizens to defend the place against
any mere raiding pnrtios.
General Com b ciime here from Chainberjburg
this morning on a special train.
The authorities here think tho raid a very
heavy cne ; at least thirty .ujusand Rebels are
on the march, they say.
. There in au expectation of hearing soon from
General Hunter in the enemy's rear, in the direc
tion of Vlllhiuispert, Maryland. Ilia troops are
expected to reach Cumberland over the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad.
The enemy's line of march seems tending to
wards Washington and Baltimore. The railroad
north f Frederick City Is the first object ap
parently. This Is to separate Washington from
the North.
If not successful In that, they will return,
weeping everything before them In tho Cumber
land valley on their retreat towards Virginia.
Mpoelal to The EvkuIuk Telegraph,
Baltimore, July 7, 2 1'. M. Passengers who
left Frederick this morning, say great excite
ment continued there, and citizens are leaving
there for s safe retreat, In all directions.
No Rebels bud yew appeared in the town, bu
Were seen In small cavalry squads not far off
prowling over the country.
It la not believed they are In any force near the
place. Latest advices from Middletown Valley,
Boonsboro', and Hagcr-town, represent them
it, possession of all theee places, plundering un
restrictedly, nud tho people stampeding rnoidly.
They commit all sorts of outrages and elepre
ditions. Passengers just arrived over the
Northern Central this morning say the Rebels
captured Grcencatle yesterday, and were march
ing on Chambcrsburg, down tho Cumberland
Valley towards Uiirrisburg, destroying railroads,
bridges, and public property at all points, and
stealing horses, Ac.
It is belie ved their intention is to cut tho Penn
sylvania Railroad and burn or destroy, if possi
ble, all the bridges across the Susquehanna and
elsewhere, within reach. The alarm is very
great. This raid is chiefly cavalry, and said not
to be very large. There are hopes of opposing
nd driving it back.
The whole valley Is In perfect co.istcrnation,
and people are endeavoring to organize the
militia. All the roads are filled with refugees
driving cattle, hauling valuables, Ac.
General Hunter ha not boen definitely heard
from, bnt he is believed to be coming down
through Western Virginia. Sigcl b Ids Harper's
Ferry. General Wallace Is In command at Fre
derick. The damage to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road extends fifty miles west of Harper's Ferry.
The Franklin Railroad is being again destroyed,
nd the Cumberland Valley road doubtless
shares the same fate. No one knows the number
of invading Rebels.
They are generally believed to number not over
10,600 Infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Thus far
it is considered only a plundering raid j but may
be the precursor of another formidable offensive
Uvasion.
Some suppose Lee will abandon Richmond ami
follow, leaving unly enough to man the forti
fications. His supplies bciag cut olfon one side,
he, ia desperation, attempts to get thum on the
other.
To make the best of it, things look uncom
fortable. Our people, however, are busy.
Special to The Eteuiuir Telegraph.
Washington, July 7. There is n ailing fur
ther that is reliable from the Rebel raid. The
.War Department seems to be, perfectly confident
of Its ability to meet every emcrrency.

Washington, July 6. The mail steamer
Ciurtvtte Yanderbilt arrived from City Point this
forenoon, bhe. brings no news from the army of
particulur Importance. It was ascertained that
the reports ol 'General Wilsou's lo-scs were much
exaggerated. Four of bis guus were recaptured
from the enemy.
l-'AVOllAIII.K MIMTAnV NKW8 EXl'KCl'liD.
Notwithstanding the Rebel raid into Maryland,
nnd tho distrust in the statu of iitbiirs, as shown
by commercial men in the high price of gold,
there is reason to believe that fuvureble military
news will soou be made known to the public.
Sy the measures that have been taken to guard
Pennsylvania, It Is believed that the Rebels will
sfvJ be in suiilcicut force to do any material
damage.
Veiy good news Is expected from General
filerumu nothing less, In fact, than tho capture
of Atlanta. Military men here say that with the
loss of kcnceiiw mountain, the Rebels cannot
reasonably hope to hold Atlanta, as there aro no
positions bevond the Chattahoochee at all eiiual
to those on this side of it. Uood news is also
shortly expected Horn General Grant's army. It
Is believed that l'tteraburg will shortly be in our
hands.
It is well understood that nothing th( Rebels
run do, by way ! the Shenandoah valley, wi J
induce General Giant to send any portiou ol' his
auny lo tho clel'i u-eof Wa-hmgton. Movements
aro now under way for lurgely reinforcing

Wasiiinoion, July 7. The mail steamer KVj
poit arrived here this morning from City Point.
At ten o'clock yesterday morning, the hour at
which the Kryport left City Point, heavy firing
was beard there from the direction of Petersburg,
but it was not known at City Point whether it
was anything more than an artillery duel.
The Keyjtort brought up Mr. Joel Parr and
family, refugees from Virginia. Parr resided in
Prince George county, about thii teen miles south
east of Petersburg, und was the only man in the
county who proved true to the old Hag. Parr
was arrested by the Rebel authorities for his
Union sentiments, and committed to prison, bat
he w as released a few day's ago, and succeeded
in making his way into our Hues with his family.
The hospitals at City Point have been cleared
of marly all the sick and wounded, and many
members of the Sanituiy and Christian Commis
sions arc going home.

Washington, July 7. Tho star says: We
have information direct from Ilagcrstown to tho
effect that on Tuesday af ernoon at 3 o'clock
Rebel squad, consisting of litt. en cavalry men,
commanded by Lieutenant Sharer, formerly of
Martinsburg, Va., entered that place. Tills forco
appeared to be a reconnoitring party, and they had
only been In the town a few minutes when a de
tachment of Regular Cavalry from Carlisle, Pa.,
commanded by Lieutenant McLean, dashed into
the place.,
A brief fight immediately ensued in the streets
of Ilagcrstown, which resulted in the Rebels
being driven out of the town, with the loss of a
lieutenant and two privates, taken prisoners.
About half an hour after this fight the Rebels
again entered the town, their forces consisting of
cavalry and mounted infantry.
Lieutenant-Colonel McLean, of the Xnion
Cavalry, finding his force too small to cope with
the larger number of Rebels, slowly fell back to
the Pennsylvania line, tarrying with him bbj
prisoners.
The Rebels, after entering the town, act to
work to destroy tbe telegraph line, but they had
made no demonstration against the railroad when
our informant left.
They also plundered many of tho stores, bnt
seem to have adopted a different plan from tho
one they pursued lust summer, as they now
make no distinction between Rebel sympathizers
and Unionists.
Many of tbe Rebel citizens of tho town, par
haps anticipating this treatment, ran their horses
Into Pennsylvania.

City Point, July 5. The great day for which
devout Yankees believe "all other days were
made," passed by in tbe mo-t prosaic manner
imaginable. It was ushered In by no gaudy
pageantry, ringing of bells, or thunder of ar
till'iy. The stillness of the morning air was not even
broken by tho tiring of a national salute ; but the
day opened and closed with but little manifest
enthusiasm, and the ordinary army avocations
weie in mo t instances pursued all day. A pussy
salute from some asthmatic, wheezy, old navy
guns, and a liberal display of bunting from the
vrsselshere and at lSermudn Hundred, comprised
the sole attempt to celebrate tbe day.
it proved by far the quietest Fourth of July
within aiy recollection; quieter here, surrounded
by "griin-visHged war," than in the humblest
village of tho North. The folds of our Sags,
that greeted the tirst beams of the rising sun,
were soiled and battle-torn, but dyed with the
blood of heroic defenders. Our guns, which
under other circumstunces would b-vo heralded
the. advent of the nation's birthduy, -re hacked,
battered, rusty, and silent.
The hi art of the army was warmly aglow with
patriotic emotions and recollections of otberauni
versaiies, hut found no utter ill' o in empty show
or idle flemi nstration. The blood, caru.ige and
dessolation of the post two months are too fresh
in ihe minds of our men to admit of vain display,
rioiing or debauchery in the very presence of tho
foe. The day was seriously, and ail the more
properly remembered and oIi'm rved.
Contrary to the general expectation, there w.is
no attack made on el. her side during the day or
night. Tbe Rebels expected an assault, as wo
leainid in various ways, und nnlg arrangement
to r. tist us vlgoronsly nt every point. For two
or thiec days Lee bus ben marching and eouu
U rniarching bis troops between Richmond and
Peters huig. '1 he prcci-e ooject he has in view
ha- not been ascertained. .Some suppose it indi
cates nn evacuation wt' the ou'pusts, and the con
centrating of his entire army in smaller compass.

the Treasury from nil sources for tho year ending
June .10, INi'ii, to be equal t those of last year
nearly SJlW.lKW.om), there will remain, after pay
mcntof all tho interest, $111,1 iS.Ci.i, applicable
to the current ex nses of the year.
Supposing all the authorized loans taken, the
amount of tho public debt at the end of the next

stand thus : Gold-bearing debt already Issued,

It will be seen by those figures that Independ
ent of the anticipated increase in the revenue and
the excess of the receipts over and above tho
interest on the public debt, the Trc.inury will bo
abundantly able to meet all demands on its cof
fers, even if the expenses of the war are greater
during the next year than they were during tho

roteNt Aicatntt the Mexican Loan.
A protest has been miido by M. Jesus Escobar
Y. Ariucndarlr., Into Secretary of the Mexican
Legation, now Agent of tho Constitutional
Government In Europe, against the last Mexican
loan, In these words: "I, Jesus Escobar Y
Armenduriz, Agent of tho Constitutional
Government of Mexico, legally authorized, and
In virtue of the divers protests made by the Legis
lative and Executive powers of tho nation against
all the contract, and in general against all tbe
acts of tho French intervention and tho func
tionaries emanating from it, protest anew that
the Mexican nation and its Constitutional Gov
ernment will never, at any time, recognize or
admit the obligations which Bhull bo contracted
by any other functionaries than those who bold
their authority from the Constitution.
"I protest especially against tho Mexican loan
which was decreed on the 10th of April last by
the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria,
and against every species of obligation which shall
be contracted at thechargeof the Mexican nation
by what person soever who shall not be authorized
by the Constitutional Gevcrnmont, whether theso
obligations have for their object to create a fresh
national debt or to augment the amount of
that which already exists, or simply to introduce
modification of the English debt, which the Gov.
emmcut considers sacred, or any other debt
legally recognized. And although the protests of
the supreme power of the nation hav obtained
In Europe all the publicity which was due to
them, I now renew them in the interest of the
public, and to affirm as much at possible tho
rights of the Mexican nation."

The Rebel raid into Maryland has been criti

t nse of Kentucky.
It is supposed hero that the suspension of tho
hnhtai corput and tbe cstabllshmen of martial
law in Kentucky is in anticipation of possible
trouble from the enforcement of tho draft, and
particularly the enlistment of tbo slaves of the
more disloyal portions of the Suito.
The Income Tax.
It has been discovered that tho passing of the
specinl income tax, authorized to bo levied dur
ing tbe last hours of Congress, is collectable
upon all incomes received luring the year end
lig December 1863, thence lapping over Into
18C2. The exact language of tbe joint resolution
Is thut tho tux shall be levied upon incomes for
tbe year ending December 31 preceding the
time when the tax Is collectable, w hich time is
October, lSili, thus making tho tax collectable
from December, 1802, to December, 1863. This
was not, it is well known, tho intention of the
frauiers of the law, and it will bo dillicult to col
lect the tax from Government employees and
navul und army olllcers, who have paid their
regular five per cent, ever since tho old law wont
Into effect, but who will not be able to pay to tho
Government the additional 5 per cent., for the
simple reason thut they will not have, in many
Instances, any Income now, being pensioners,
without employment, or without any fixed in
come. Govcrruncnt employees havo had tho
usual 6 per cent, deducted from their salarios
heretofore, though the incouio tux Is not collect

IUltimobv, Ju'y 7, ll-t.i A. M. Tho city is
full of rumors this morning of an exciting cha
racter in regard to tho invasion.
After a careful inquiry, with a desire to sift out
the truth as far as posxiblo, witli a view to avoid
acting tbe part of nn alarmist on tho ono hull
by overstating, or encouraging a fuUe security,
by underrating the state of facts, I send you the
following, which is believed to be correct.
Tho most reliable Intelligence from Maryland
Heights and tho region beyond, this morning,
warrants the belief that tho Rebel forco now on
this side of tho Potomac, and on the lino of tho
river on tho Virginia side, Is larger than at first
supposed. It it believed that the force is nut far
short of 30,000.
Advices from Sandy Hook down to 10 o'clock
this morning say that an officer from Ganeral
Rigcl's hcadqnurteri, Marylund Heights, reports
tome skirmishing going on back of tho Heights,
but the number of the enemy thuro Is small.
With the aid of the glass and signal corps, tho
enemy can bo observed towards Sharpsburg,
driving off cattle, horses, &'c.,aud plundering tho
farmers in the valley. No largo force, however,
is visible.
Advices from Grocncastlc, Ta., this morning
say thut tho Rebels occupy Ilagcrstown this
morning, but in what forco Ls not known.
The train from Frederick is jnst in, and re
ports that Colonel Coles' Maryland Cavalry bad
a tkirniish with a small Rebel forco a scouting
party four miles west of Frederick, about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
It was ascertained, subsequently, that the force
was quite small.
The Rebel officers dined at noon at Hogaa's
Mount House.
Later In the day two pieect of. Alexander's
Maryland battery, and a detachment of the Hth
Illinois Cavalry, and Colonol Sedes Maryland
Cavalry went lu pursuit of the Rebels, and dur
ing last night drove a force of 100 Rebels through
Middletown.
Whilst in Middletown yesterday tbe Rebels
made good use of their time by plundering the
citizens of their horses and other property.
Jo-bua Cormick.a ttublo-keepcr, was called
upon to deliver his horses. He refused, and was
shot.
He is expected dead.
Active movements of troops are going on,
which it Is not proper for prudentlul reasous to
particularize.
Tbe railroad is still undisturbed as far as San
dy Hook, opposite the town. '
At last advices It was believed there was only
a small force of guerillas on the Virginia shore,
opposite Point of Rocks.
One o'clock, A. M. Tbe Rebels at the Perry

including tho telegraph and ticket otlice. .So far
they have used no artillery against our force.

Siimliiy. July 3, opened in t'hnui'K'rsburgsereno

calmness and devotion. Tho afternoon witnessed
the tirst anniversary of ilm M snon School 1

ilenominaiions, and for a ye ir past held regu
larly in the Pre-byterinn laiclure R win, and
devoted to the Christian task of teaching colored
men, women, nnd children to read and giving
them re icious instruction.
They bad gathered in tho chun h at .1 P. M. to
conimcnioraie the tirst anniversary of an insti
tution that promised them a lv in ement, re .
gious trainim.', and fitness for tiscl j'ni'-s mi l
honor; and ttn-y snng their songs of prais wi'h
on earnestness that betokened tho spirit and
also the understanding. In the midst of the
servie-cs, when kind ministers who had watched
over nnd labored with these poor victims of
brutnb.ing slnvcrv, were congratulating them on
the (ireal good wrought in their behalf, a mcs
scnger handed the speaker 11 message stating
thai the Rebels were approaching tbe Po'om ac
in force, and seemed beut on invasion and de
struction. Sl'HEAOlVO TUB NC1V8.
The news flew like wild-lire, and consternation
fecnied to have seized almost every citizen.
General Sigcl had advised General ('ouch that a
considerable fore-c was moving against hlin at
Miirtinsliurg. He intimated tits inability to arret'
Iheir advance, and advised General Couch to 0c
prcpan d for tnc worst. This was but the part or
11 prudent General, knowing as be did that lirne
rnl Couch would need some time t concentrate
his forces and protect the valuable sto.k in tho
southern section ol the county.
General Couch at once despatched mcssnng.'rs
to different parts of the county, advising tho
people to get their t'ock north of Cliam'icrsb'irg,
so Hint it could not be seized hy a sudden d.ish of
Rebel cavalry. It is needless to say that such na
iiitlmat on from General Couch to a people thrice
despoiled by Rebels needed 110 argument to insure
prompt ol coicncc; mid the work of exodus com
menced early, and was continued with the most
commendable, perseverance until there was
scarcely a horse on the southern lino.
HXCn r.MKNT IN CHAMIIKHSIICHO.
Chiimlsjrsburg took on the excitement as
na'urullv as sunset takes to night. Although
but n sing'e reliable despatch w is received from
A P. M. until lato nt night, n thousand rumors
floated and mugniiied as thev passed from niou'li
to mouth, until it seemed as il all the anuosof
Reticulum swelled ten-fold were about to swooji
upem devoted Chnmborsburg, and m iko a morn
ing lunch of its officers, citizens, negroes, horses,
goods and wares, and kindle breakfast fire by
burning half or the wholo of the village.
In tbe midst of the Intense excitement we re
mitted our rcportorinl corps to tbe largest pos
sible dimensions, and resolved 10 give the thrill
ing position of tho bloody struggle about to be
inaugurated, on some future day, when we should
be able to refit our otlice alter tho coming vand lis
had vanished. We employed fifteen intelligent
knights of the quill to call upon Generul Couch
every fifteen minutes, and inquire how many
Rebels there were on tho Potomac; how soon
tl icy would cross; where they would cross; what
they would do when thoy were across; how
long they would stay; when hsrses and cattle
should bo sent off; where they should bo a mt
to; when they should be brought bock; how
many troops no nan here ; now many were coin
ing; when nud where ho was going to tight;
whether any Indigent citizens could bo accommo
dated with himself and stair in case of r.itreaij
and various other purely military interrogatories
which thereporteirial corps deemed m ittorproper
for public information. We regret to say that
General Couch did not answer more ihan half
of the questions satisfactorily, und although tho
Major General commanding even in'iioited his
ittnornnce on reveralof tiie most Important points
submitted. We are not a aro what a-tion the
corps may toko on this arbitrary exercise of mili
tary power.
STAHTMNO REPOR.TR F&OM I'l lJITI VBH.
We also despatched forty first-class spo imens
of the ceirps to gather all tbe trustworthy infor
mation 11 flout relative to tbe movement of tho
Keliels. Intelligent contrabands were seized as
soon as they arrived, and their modewt ami un
varnished s'orles taken down with the utm 1st
enro. Enterprising skedaddlcrs were questioned
and cross-questioned, and their valuao 0 contri
butions to the current history of tho day scru
pulously preserved. Retiring qu ir crmasters
nnd tmgnienbiry commands, just escaped from
tho wholesale slaughter of their comrades, wore
pirsuadi d to modify Ihe ir grief until their
piteous und truthful tales could bo preserved to
posterity; and the calm, imperturbable citizens,
who loved truth solely for the truth's sake, were
flunkedon the comers, surrounded ou store-boxes,
und "suiiled" in quarieis where lovers of beer
most 00 cigregnto. Thus was a complete, re
liable, and intensely interesting history of tbe
campaign kept up with its startling progress.
IMMENSITY or TUB BEnKL rOKCS.
Gn comparing tho perfectly reliable reports of
the ce,rps In tho course of the night leaving out
the donbiful and exaggerated stories of frightened
and reckless people, we found we bad positive
In toi mai Ion that the Rebels bad crossed Hie Po
tomac at not less than twenty four places that
uliernoon and evening, in columns from four to
tcu thousand strong ; and that the main body bad
not yet reached the river, it was evident, there
fore, that not less than a mill n Rebels were
about to enter Pi nnsylvnui, anil as General
Couch's command was certainly not more than
half that numlier, the prospect of successful re
sistance seemi d most gloomy.
The Rebels had, according to posl'ivo rumors,
muiutniKed a line of battle all of .Sunday, some
twenty miles long on tbe Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and the extent of their artillery may
be imagined when they tired not less than tifuien
guus every second. Some of them distinctly
heard iu this seeiion could not have been less
than filtcen hundred pounders. It is birely pos
sible that a little nerv.iusne-s and a tendency to
exaggerate were created with our corps by Gene
ral Couch's bland assurance to our people that he
was able, nnd would hold the town mail hazards,
nnd that be h id sent for au abuuduut supp.y of
arms for the citizens.
This was must ugreeublo intelligence to all but

The telegraph operator at ilagcrstown being
assured every seven minutes that the Rebels were
about to enter Ilagcrstown, he very naturally
changed his base from the telegraph olllce to some
less attractive point for Rebel investigations ; and
several hours would Hoinutiincs elap-u before be
would turn up again to inform General Couch
thut the last report was a mistake.
Tho only uppnrcn ly reliable information re
ceived during the night, was a despatch from
General Weber, dated at Harper's Ferry, stating
that Nigel had been overwhelmed at M.irtins
luirg, and wus endeavoring to retreat upon tho
Ferry. The Rebel force opposed to In 111 was
reported to General Weber at from "ten to
twenty thousand infantry, cavalry, and artil
lery." This startling inhumation tiaturully gavo
much concern to tho military authorities, but as
most of the excitable population had retired, it
did not lullio the surface of the village per
ceptibly. Troops were hurried on by General Couch with
all iHishihle H ecd hy mil from eastern points, and
before da light, he had an ample cava'ry forco
of traine d troops on the entire southern line, and
hud uiso a force of infantry and artillery 011 winch
he relied with entire tsiulielcnco, with tho uid of
citizens w ho would voluntarily Join the troops,
to hold the town ngainst any probable usseuit.

The truth of the Rebel movement is now clearly
manifest. Hunter had round from Lynchburg
to West Virginia, leaving tbo Valley undefended,
and it was known to the Rebels that vast stores
had been loaded at Martinsburg to lie seat to
Hunter. 1 lie train bad heen started up the
Valley; but owing 10 Humor's movement had
returned ; and the cavalry and mounted infantry
of the force that bad resisted Hunter from si tan n
ton to Lynchburg, made a elaati down the Vulloy
to capture the much coveted stores and stock.
That .sigel outnumbered the attacking forces
wa cannot now doubt; but he had a long line and
large nnd valuable trains to defend. Ho there
fore wisely ran no risk in being overwhelmed;
bnt retired in safety with his entire trains to
Sbnrpsburg, where be now has his headquarters.
At tho time of this writing (Tuesday noon) we
have seen no evidence that any more than scout
ing squads or p.ckets fiota tbe RsbcU have
dossed ihe Potomac. at nuy point; nnd as Sigi-1 is
in a position to operate from Sharpsburgj We
ber from Harper's Ferry; Kolly from Cumber

a Reliel raid Into Pennsylvania as highly im
probable. Tho risk wonld be too great, while the advan
tage could not be substantial even in case of sue
cess. Hy tho promptness of General Coueh all
the valuable stock wan got out of the southern
part of the couuty, and there was therefore
nothing to gain by a movement into this State.
To tbo decision, skill, and ti'aless energy of
General Couch and bis staff tho people owe thtir
present tranquility and safety.

our telegraphic despatches of to-day that Gov

people of Pennsylvania for volunteeeit to defend
our borders from tbe attack of tbe Rebel foe,
now said to be contemplating n raid upon nt.
Of the twenty.flve thousand men thus asked for,
the quota of Philadelphia will amount to three
thousand and eighty-seven men. We hare no
doubt but w hat tbe regiments of Colonels Thomao
nd Nicholas, now rapidly organising, will, under
existing circumstances, be accepted as a part of
the force required, thus leaving less than a single
regiment to be immediately riised and placed in
service. Surely we have abundant material In
our midst from which to organizo at least three
large regiments within almost forty-eight hours'
notice, if but tbe proper seeps are taken to gather
in and concentrate the force thus placed at our
Disposal.
While upon this subject we may state that
Mujor-Geucnil (Sanford ban just arrived la the

whom he bus been ordered to repair lininodiately

two batteries of artillery are expected to piss

General Kucn will command tiiu forces from

those from llrooklyn.
The iuiMrianee of these, calls cannot be too

forty-eight hours.

The Stex-k'Marknt for the past few days hat
been weak, with but little animation. 80 mny
disturbing Influences have been at worC, thi the
tendency has been to unsettle the minds, and
eonseemently limit the operation of . stock; '
dealers. The resignation of Mr. Chase, tosjether
with the exceeding tightness of money, with the
conflicting rumors from the seat of war, are ttiU
influencing lower prices, which, together with
the raid on onr border, may still further depresa
local shares. 1
Our own opinion so often expressed In these
columns is still nnchanged in regard to the
heavy decline at no distant day in off stocks;
prices have reached an abnormal height, the
spirit of speculation only sleeps, but it not dead.
Yet its madness ia destined to undergo a chock;
which will cause panics and universal tremble,
and until the Stock or Com Exchange have
passed through the fiery trial of wide-spread
financial criti; they will not learn the difference)
between legitimate trade and the fever of specu
lation, which required terrible physio to cure.
The low-priced Oil and Mining share are ex
