ALL QUIET AT HAGERSTOWN CJnANBB'Rsui'BG, July 0, G o’clock n. m.— Tho telegraph to Hagerstown is in working order. All is reported to bo quiet at that place. Another Big Scare. —On Sunday evening our citizens were much alarmed by receiving intelligence that a largo force of rebels had crossed the Potomac with the intention oi again invading our valley. Startling ru mors—many -of them entirely false —could he heard in all directions, and deep anxiety was depicted upon the faces of all. Despatches were received by our military authorities, and in a few hours the troops at the Garrison (some 300) were marched to town, and took the cars for Hagerstown. The excitement continued during the entire night, and also during Monday. Negroes by hundreds, from the west end of the valley, crowded the Cars, on their way to Harrisburg, and some few men about phambersburg removed their live stock in this direction. But little reliable news was received hereon Monday. In the evening, however, we had - information that the rebels bad been forced back before they attempted to penetrate our Valley. Indeed, it is doubtful whether they intended to-come' in this direction. The impression is that they were after the immense military stores at Martinsburg. These stores amounted in value to several millions of dollars. "Wheth er they were captured by the euemy wo have not heard. All is quiet here now, anil business ha* been resumed. N. B.—At the time of going to press, we received official intelligence that the rebel cavalry crossed the Potomac on Tuesday morning, and drove our pickets to Hagers town. Our troops, at last accounts, hold Hagerstown, and intend to fight the invaders nt that point. The Fourth of July. —Monday was the anniversary of the Declaration of American Independence, and it was observed but par tially throughout the country, owing to the fact that the great absorbing topic at this time is the present unnecessarily prolonged war, and the deplorable condition of the country. Many of the places of business were closed in this borough, in order to give the employees a holiday. “ The Hay Crop. —The yield of hay this season in Cumberland county will be immense and of the very best quality. Indeed, many of our farmers assure us that in no season within their memory has the quantity of hay been so great. Most of it has been safely gathered, and the wheat harvest has just commenced. The " Herald. "—The last Carlisle Herald comes to ua greatly enlarged and much Un proved in appearance, having donned an en tire new dress. By an announcement it con tains, wo learn that Mr. Rueem has associa ted with himself in its publication, J. M. "Weakley, Esq., hereafter be conducted by Rueem & "Weakley. Mr. "W., we believe, Ims, for some time, been a contributor to the editorial columns of the paper, and is a young man of good ability. In polities he is an out and out Abolitionist— one of Gideon’s band—ready to endorse eve rything his party may do or attempt to do. At the same time he is a very clever gentle man, and we sincerely wish the new linn abundant success however, politically. 6<55“ At a meeting of the directors of the Soldiers’ Aid Society, Carlisle, on motion, the Secretary was requested to tender the thanks of the Society to the Editors of the Carlisle papers for their liberality in pub lishing gratuitously our appeals and notices. , L.

Wc notice that many of the Admimrttrti tiou papers are cint'in favor of volunteering, and appeal »o ou> 'young men in strains of eloquent fervor 'to imitate the patriotism of the hundreds df’-thousands who freely olltrcd diioir services ‘to the Clovenunent, without bounty and at niggardly wages three years | ago. Those Administration papers—-every I'Onc of them published by office-holders and menials—argUO that, men should TOhinteci to serve their country with ns much alacrity as tijeir brothers volunteered in the spring of Ji?GI. They remind’them at the same time ! that largo bounties are now paid—somcsdoo bv the Government, and the same amount or mure by boroughs and townships. Tins last clause in the argument of our “ loyal” jour nalists is evidence that they do not believe that man arc as ready to enlist as they were in With all their entrcaticb to the pa triotism of men, with -all tbolr fine-spun yarns about country and duty, they finally come down to the shoddy argument, •and appeal to their love ot money, and at tempt to convince them by holding up be fore their eyes laxcoj.s’s dirty linen and bis “ greenbacks.” Pah ! Now’, we would say nothing calculated to dissuade men from enlisting. UVdo-oo woald bo wrung, and, according™ to shoddy logic, “ disloyal.” But, we may bo permuted to inquire, why it is that men no lunger make a voluntary tender of their services to the Government? A child cun answer theques tion. It is because they have no confidence ia the administration —no confidence in its ability, honesty'*, ur patriotism they feel no sympathy for Us trolwmcs, fmd despise its fanatical political d-csigns. fSo long as Congress and the President professed (lalsely professed,) that this war was to be prosecuted for the sole purpose of restoring the Union and upholding the authority of the Government, men rushed to the recruiting offices in such numbers, that bully "Wilson of Mass.'exclaimed in the Senate, “ in the name-of God 1 stop this influx of men :we have now 50,000 more than we want 1” Then it *wus that the President and his friends commenced to show their hands and throw off all disguise. Then it was that their no gro-cqua’ity policy was anblushmgly an nounceu ; men it was mat an men »tu con tended for the constitution as it is and the Union as it \vas were denounced as Southern sympathizers by the hirelings, thieves and traitors wheeling tothls festering and rotten administration as maggots ding to a dead carcass. Then il icas that vohnitun/ enlist ments ecascd att<syeihe)\ and then it was that the hateful draft commenced. What a re buke to the admiuistratijii ! Not a man not even the “ loyill thieves”—could be in duced to tender their services to the'Govern -1 mertt after Lincoln had announced the ob jects for which the war was to be carried on. It is useless, therefore, for the Abolition journals to talk about men enlisting as they didin 1801. If their party* is favorable to Lincoln’s outrages, let them enlist, if they desire. But they do not desire, for they know, just as well as the Democrats know, , that this war can never he ended under the poor incompetent, Lincoln. New men must take charge of the ship of state —statesmen, f possessing patriotism, love of country, honor, ; honesty and sense. Then our young men i may l.c induced to again enlist, ior they will i then have an object to tight for —” the I. niun • as it was, the Constitution as il D.” Cly 3 * If the Republicans are as anxious, ns they pretend to he, to “carry on the war 'with the utmost vigor,” why is it they arc so ( loathe to go themselves, or permit their soys ! t) go and share the dangers and the glo-j idea of the contest? AYc know of at least ; two leading Republicans in this borough ; who, after their sons Am? enlistee., followed | them and remanded them to their homes.— ! Nor are these isolated cases. Thousands more could, he adduced to show that, while the leading Republicans urge on the prose cution ot the war, when it comes lo fighting their patriotism and courage ooze out at their fingers’ends. And vet these same men are the most envenomed Abolitionists, and are the loudest in stigmatizing Democrats, who have sons, brothers and nephews in the army, as “ Copperheads.” [r7* How accommodating and pliable Black- Republican journals are. The Baltimore Lincoln Convention—composed of ers, shoddyitoa* plunderers • and negroes— adopted, among other windy resolutions, one endorsing the Monroe doctrine ! The Ad ministration, it was well known, had taken decided ground against this very doclrincj and had rendered Maximillian “ aid and comfort” in his designs upon Mexico. Old Abe, therefore, in accepting the nominatioif tendered him by his placemen, kicked the Monroe doctrine plunk out of the platform and repudiates it. The Abolition editors cry out “ amen,” and commend the President for his 44 sagacity.” notwithstanding they had warmly ■endorsed the resolution the week previous 1 Such subserviency is positively disgraceful to the press, and is another evi dence of the rottenness of the editors who es pouse the cause of the poor incompetent wh) now disgraces the Presidential chair.

The Abolition journals, true to their trba poimblo proclivities, appear to.rbjoioO very much over the Into repulse of Gen. Sturgis, at Guntmvn, Mi.-s, Their chuckles are in duced, as they tell -no, because " Gen. St(ir cis is a copperhead." His nfuifbrtilne af forded old Auk a good opportunity to display his moan tyranny, die removes Sturgis for one failure, hut onfftinues such humhugu -as Buti.er, Banks, Sitmirz and Sohenck, who never fought a Successful battle. They are right, politically, however, agree with Lin coln, are fond of the negro, steal well, and in fine are good Abolitionists, and henoo aro excused for all delinquencies. So we go. Gen. Si uadis has been among the most successful Generals in out army. Ho is a native of ■Cumberland county, and wo cannot ace his military character traduced by the minions of the .administration with impunity. The Chicago 'Times, in spo'aking on 'this sub- joct, says-: The Abolition papers ore already rejoicing over the relief of General Sturgis from com mand, owing to his late misfortune at Gum town, Mississippi. It is easy to understand tills gratification on the part of tho Abolition press, when it is known that Gen. Sturgis, being a conservativo man, has all tho while 'been'"regard lid with hostility by tho Admin istration. Mo hasalways offended Abolition ism by refusing to make war upon principles, ami has drawn upon himself its hitter indignation because ho never stole ne groes, never burned houses of peaceable cit izens, never sent homo to' his wife a piano or a set of plate, or a quantity of silk dresses and underclothing. For these reasons he has Icon deemed unsound, and it was- for these same reasons that tho Senate for months refused to confirm his nomination as ft Briga dier-General. . . , . . And ytt it was this same Sfargis-ivno long before this war broke out, was promoted for distinguished re’rvioea against tho Indians.— It whs ho who succeeded Lyon at Wilson’s Crack, nml made a masterly retreat in the face of impending annihilation. It was also he wlio curried, by a desperate assault, the Stone 11 ridge at Antietam, and for which Burnside received all the.credit. It was al so Sturgis who, at tho' head of tho cavalry (oree in Mast Tennessee, administered to i Longsirect the first check ho mot with after , raising the siege of Knoxville. It was, in line, Sturgis who, up to his late encounter, never met with a single disaster, but whoso record has boon one long, unvarying series of hrill ant successes U_tL every contest in which he haa hoen engaged ; hut Butler labors for God and humanity ; he lines and banishes and imprisons women and clergyman ; lie rescues {Anylice —steals) ne- ] gross ; ami performs all other Abolition op erations with punctuality,and, in consequeco, tie is never “ relieved” from command. Such is tire case of Hooker and Bnrnsido and Tur chin and others ; but Sturgis fails onoo, and lie is relieved, even before his version of the battle has time to reach his superiors. Butler, Burnside, Hooker, et als., are “sound” on the negro question, tho Presi dential question, tho confiscation questions, and all other Administration questions'; and hence they may lose battles until tho day of judgment) but Mr. Lincoln would not relieve them, 'i'liey fail not only once, but always, and are not relieved even after, time has shown their incapacity—their responsibility for the failure, fc'turgls, the Democrat, fails once, and lie is relieved upon the first whia-, per that lie has met with disaster, \Ve can readily see good reasons for Stur -1 gin’ misfortune. Ho had’an assorted force, ! made up of odds and ends of regiments, of i provost guards, sections,of batteries, skeleton j infantry commands, and negroes. Theprimo cause of his failure is probably to ho found in his negro troops. We have yet to learn of the first case in which an officer led negro troops and was not defeated. But twice dur ing this war have assaults upon-fortificatkms .boon Ml c 'ssfiil Fort Pillow, and Plymouth —and in both cases a large portion of tho gat risen was made up of tho negroes. All negro troops have failed, and Sturgis could ] not make h’s case an exception to an inevita ] hie rule. A Good Ticket. —The Nashville Press has placed at the'head of its columns the follow- ing ticket J'W President, SOM E HONEST MAN, Of Anywhere. Fur Vice President , SOME WHITE MAN, Of Ditto. AVc rather like this ticket, and commend it to the consideration of the Chicago Con vention. It needs only a slight amendment to make it sure to win—we mean, the eusti tutiou of two names that come up to the mark. That the representatives of the National De mocracy will succeed in finding them, wc do not entertain a doubt. The people, time, ought to have enough of rogues, inca pablea and negroes, and should bo glad to have the opportunity to place the administra of the Government again in the hands of ho nest men and while men. Another Blow at Poon Men. —The bill repealing the commutation clause of the draft law has passed both houses of Congress. It being Old Abo's favorite measure, end passed upon his recommendation) of course he will sign it. Poor men will n6w have no alternative but to go into the army and fight with and for the niggers, when drafted, no matter if their wives and children ehould starve. Men who can afford to purchase sub stitutes, however high the price demanded, will do so, and the poor men-*-the mechanics and laborers of the country—will have to do all the fighting it. this war for the freedom and social elevation of the niggers. It is an u'ljust and infamous discrimination in favor o’tho rich against the poor, and we rejoice that the Deivucia‘B, as a party zealously re sisted Us passage. The Deux or Honor. —The Abolition Leg islature of New York hoving, in imitation of the Abolition Legislature of this State, pass ed an act refusing to pay the interest of the State debt in coin or its equivalent, the high minded citizens have taken the matter in hand, and are raising the means to save the State honor and credit. Wo commend the movement to the citizens of Pennsylvania for imitation. The committee of the Chamber of Commerce to raise gold to pay interest to holders of New York State stocks has raised Sd), 000. The sum wanted is 5110,000, and it is supposed it Will bo made up without dif liculty. O’ In view of the repeal of the Commuta tion clause the song of the loyal leaguers will no longer bo “ we are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred dollars more,” but something in the nature of‘‘two thousand dollars more.” Will the league funds hold out? A BREAK. IN THE CABINEt ■Lincoln Swaltino floßarX'. —The Hon. S. iP.

' Differences in regard to several appoint ments between Mr. -Chase and the President ■are said by some to bo at the bottom of the former’s resignation, whilst others suppose that ho breakers ahead of the Lin coln craft, and takes this step to got out of the sinking ship before it goes nndor. Cer tain it is that the resignation is an pverit of much significance just at .this time. G<reat Frauds.— it is so common noW-a-days to read exposures of gross frauds perpetrated upon the Govern nlont by its “ loyal” friends that they scarcely'command a passing notice. Recent developments of rascalities in tho city of How York, however, seem to be an excep tion, and tho dailies of that city come to us filled with exposures. Tho rogues have fal len out and are tellingon each other. Thur low yVccd, of the Albany/oHrnaf, started tho ball in his paper, wherein ho shows up cx- Mayor Opdyko, tho proprietors of the Trib une and Post and other intensely loyal Abo lition leaders in their true light. Henderson of the Fosl, the HaVy Agent, has since been arrested, Tho frauds committed in his office amoiint to milliona-. It is "but a few weeks sinc'd some of live principal officers in th e Custom House Vrc'r'C arrested for similar oiloncos, and tire guilty parties hurried off to Fort Bayfayette, by or der of the millitary authorities. No doubt the parties implicated in the Weed exposures will be similarly dealt with, and thus the whole matter bo hushed up. To try these loyalists by the civil courts would lend to ventillations not palatable to the powers at Washington, henco they are handed over to lie tiM-orl, if nt all. hy « eee.ret fnililary tribu- nal. How long will this state of affairs con tinue?’ Will the people longer submit to be robbed by these loyal rascals ? Passaoe of the Tariff Biu..-— The new tariff bill has finally passed both Houses ot Congress,and received the President’s signa ture. We are not able to give even the sub stance of its provisions at this time, as it came from a Committee of Conference mate rially changed, and was rushed through in groat haste. What particularly concerns us now, is the declaration mado by Mr. Mor rill', when ho reported the bill from the Con ference Committee, which was to the effect that “ this Congress had discharged its whole duty in regard to taxation and revenue, and had placed the finances of the Government on a solid foundation, ns in his opinion the Tariff and Tax hills would produce a revenue of a million of dollars per day.” Mr. Morrill’if declaration, however, was shortly afterward rather flatly contradicted by old Thad. Stevens, who stated, in reply to a question, that “ ho had just received an application from the Secretary of the Treas ury for Congress to provide by taxation eighty five millions more, which also indica ted the articles from which it was to he raised, but of coufso ho declined to communi cate it to the House until the proper time.” Wo may infer from these revelations that a million a day in not enough to carry on the Government, and' flint tho burden of Taxes which tho preset's Congress has piled upon the' people’s back's, heavy aw if ley will- soon be pifed up more heavily still.- The Lady's Friend for July. —The July number of this magazine is one of the best yet issued; It opens with ft beautiful and piquant steel engraving,-called “ How they cru ght fish,” which represents ft couple of young lovers earnestly engaged in conver sation, apparently much to the astonishment of ft party of ladies, who have just come to the edge of the woods.

Butler in his New Orleans operations, who died in New York last winter, has been admitten to probate in New York. By this document, one-half of his estate, valued at two millions of dollars, is bequeathed to the General. As the Butlers were never accused of being millionaires before the war* the de vclopement of this fact will increase the sus picions which have been rife in regard to Butler’s speculative propensities during his command of Now Orleans, and the New York papers say it is understood that several claimants from New Orleans purpose to file petitions as creditors against the Butler es tate. The Draft in Crawford Countv. —Of five or six hundred men-drafted in this county, between eighty.and ninety have paid com mutation, thirty have furnished substitutes, one fifth have not reported, and the balance have been exempted on account of physical disability and other causes. Hot oho of those originally drafted has gone into Fath er Abraham’s service.

No Commutation. —It noSv appears to lie settled, contrary to previous assurances from Washington, that the $3OO commutation clause of the conscription law will ho repeal ed. The House, which thrice refused to ac cede to the Senate's proposition for its repeal I—the 1 —the last Umo by a vote of 100 in favor of retaining the commutation to 50 against it —has at length yielded to the urgent de mands of the Administration, and .-consented to let it go. On Tuesday, thp House passed the hill of air. Smithers of Delaware, which provides substantially : That the President may at any time call for any number of volunteers for one, two, or three years. That in case the quota of any town shall not be filled within sixty days after the trail the President may order a draft for one year to fill that quota. That in -case of a dr-Affc ihere shalihd n'o exemption hi/ (he payment of money. Buun.tios are offered for volunteers or sub stitutes—s2oo for oneyear, $3OO for two years $4OO for three years. Tho-Senato, on Wednesday, amended this bill, by reducing the bounties, and also tho time allowed to fill the quotas from sixty to forty days'; also by the addition of a new section, offered by Hr. Sherman, of Ohio, lev ying a special war tax of five per Cent, on all incomes over six hundred dollars on tho Ist of October, for tho purpose of paying tho bounties and enforcing tho draft. On Thursday, tho House returned the bill to the Senate, with a resolution,passed on Mr. Stevens’s motion, that the Senate, in adopting Mr. Sherman’s, amendment, asses sing a special war tax, had exceeded its con stitutional powers, (think of Thad. Stevens insisting on an observance of the Constitution!) tho House alone having the rjght to originate revenue measures. Tho hill will evidently have to go to a committee of conference be fore it can finally pass, but as both.branches have agreed to abolish tho commutation, that feature is no longer a subject of disagree ment, and will not'ba touched by a confer ence committee. So we may consider it set tled that no commutation money will exempt from future drafts. Shoddy in a Snarl. — A very pretty fight has been going on for a week or two between Thurluw "Weed, Opdyko, David Dudley Field, Greeley and the Kccnimj Posl —Poet Bryant's paper.

Wilson and Kntltz'a cavalry have just rc iturned from their recent raid, having de stroyed from twenty to twenty-five miles of the Danville road very.effectually. On the return the} 7 encountered tlife’enemy in strong force, and a cavalry fight was the result, with considerable loss on both sides, and some captures of men. horses and guns. New York, July 3. —Special despatches from headquarters of Gen. 1 ' Grant's nrnly re cords the return of Gen. Kautz, with the loss of many m.en and horses, twelve guns and wagon trains. The expedition was most successful in the destruction of the Danvillo and Weldon rail road, and a immense amount of rebel prop erty. . On- returning they wore overwhelmingly attacked by,Fit;: Hugh Leo and Hampton's cavalry and infantry. Our cavalry repulsed them several times, they were finally surrounded and the fotrtiAfc of the wagon trains and artillery cut off. Orders were then given to retreat, which was effected through a dense wood and marsh. The artillery was spiked and the wagons burned. . - It was reported that the Sixth nrmy corps had vigorously attacked the rebels and reta ken some of the guns. Another dispatch states that eight guns were recaptured by the Sixth corps, and that the diversion occasioned by the movement of the Second and Sixth corps enabled General Wilson to defeat tho rebel cavalry and roach our army with considerable loss. A letter from tho 18th corps gives the do tails of what was intended as a surprise to the rebels by Gen. Baldy Smith, which, how ever, owing to disobedience of orders; by Barton’s brigade, resulted in nothing but drawing a heavy artillery and musketry fire from tho rebels. FROM GEN.

J REBELS ON A RAIjD, Ewell at Martinsburg. Va—Fighting at M ar . iinsburg and Leesburg—Sigel Falls Jhrk to llarpcr’s Ferry—No Trains From But* timorejor the West. Baltimore, July 3. —About daybreak this morning intelligence reached head-quarters at Martinsburg to the effect that the Rebels were actually approaching in three seperato cblums, one by way of the turnpike toward Shcperdstown, another towards Martinsburg not far from the lino of the railroad, and a third west of it. It will be remembered that the Department of the Railroad is that of General Hunter, who is assisted by General Sigol.with Bri"u dlor-Gonerals Kelley and Mai Weber. Gen. Kelley's force is at Cumberland, where no alarm or excitement exists. Gen Sigol, on receiving information, at once prepared to await the ’approach of tho enemy, in order that no movable property should bo de stroyed. The troops were drawn up, and.at five o'« clock lighting commenced in tho neighbor hood of Bunker Hill, coiUim’iing for fmiror Hvo hours, during which his cAvalry fell hick to tho infantry Supports. Ascertaining that the force of,the enemy wasdargely superior toliis own, General Sigol determined to evac uate Martinsburg. which was accomplished in good order. Ho telegiaphed to the rail road company here as to tho state of affairs and nil their trains and otlrcr movable prop erty wore safely moved away. , Some heavy trains, filled with supplies for General Hun ter. wore gotten off to a place of safety. Both forces here engaged nro aimUl.aml it is reported, officially, that our troops there had rcpbllbd successfully all attacks. All the freight and passenger trains of tho Company worn worked successfully through last night, but no express train for the West left Baltimore this evening. At the last accounts no injury had been done to the road or bridges: It is supposed that tho .invading 'force is’ the same sent against Hunter, who is understood to have retired into Western Virginia toward*! G.iu ley to await the arrival of supplies and aiuu nition. Finding that Hunter had eluded thorn, it ia probable Iho Rebels are now attempting a raid into Maryland. It is thought the strength of the force lias bnen greatly cxng* onitod and will dwindle down to only a small raiding parly, and that they xHll scarcely venture far beyond the Potomac. , General .Sigcl has fallen back to Harper’s Ferry, and holds the strong position on Mi ryiand Heights.
