    and to him is — to be credited
waste of blood - and treasure which the
ca tura of Vicksburg and Port Hudson
subsequently entailed. In the orders to
General Buell it will also be noticed that
Gen. McClellan pointed out to him the
importance of seizing,•as soon as be could
Eastern Tennessee, and that the capture
Knoxville and Nashville was of the first
moment. The orders to General Sherman
touching what he was expected to do at
Port Royal reads like a prophesy. What
General McClellan :said should be - done
was done, simply because he foresaw that
it was the only thing that could be done.
We call attention to these facts because
we realize bow keenly the country has
suffered since that soldier-statesman has
been withdrawn from the military service
of the country. Every rebel victory in
Maryland and the waste of treasure and
life it costs to drive the enemy from that
state, is an indictment filled with the
most damning specifications against the
present military administration at Wash
ington.
A Reconstruction Proclamation.
President Lincoln has issued a very
strange kind of proclamation in connec
tion with the attachment of his signature
to the bill for the reconstruction of the se
ceded States. It is one mere of the singu
lar documents emanating from this most
singular man. He disapproves and yet
signs; be has a plan of his own and
still accepts theirs;
he gets angry and
gets appeased ; declares that he has pro
pounded &Van of his own, and yet is un
prepared to accept either that or the one
offered by Congress, and, in his doubts,
accepts the latter; is not prepareko set
aside the constitutions and gove ments
set up by Arkansas and Louisiana, but
does so by signing the new bill; denies
the right of Congress to abolish slavery in
the States, anilyet is fully satisfied with
the system of restoration contained in the
bill which does abolish it ; and although
approving and disapproving of the whole
'thing, he will, when the military resistance
is suppressed, appoint military governors
over such States according to the bill.
The Mississippi Fordable.
.The " Father.of waters" is deteriorating;
sadly ; in short, seems to be sort of" dry
lug up." During the low water of last
summer it was claimed that it could be
waded, but no one tried the experiment.
And now again, at a time when it should
be bank full from the "June freshet," it
is instead only a few inches above the low
water mark of last year. And on Sunday
last Mr. C. J. Simpson determined to test
its fordability. Accompanied by Messrs.
Phelps and Lloyd in a skiff, to guard
against accidents, he started from the
west bank of the river, a little above Hu
ron, and actually waded across the Mis
sissippi, coming out on this side just be
low Keith's Island. For a few steps in
the channel, Mr. Simpson had to turn his
nose to the top of his head to 'keep it out
of the water, but although the current
nearly carried him off his feet, he succeed
ed in " making the ripple." Let it be re
corded that on the 26th of June, 1884,the
Mississippi was waded at Keithsburg, Il
linois, (about 40 miles below Rock Island,)
by Mr. C. J. Simpson, a man 5 feet 11
inches in height. Shame on you, Missis
sippi.—Keithsburg (Ill.) Observer. •
Destruction of our Commercial Zarin°.
People know in a general way that our
shipping had suffered by the depredations
of the rebel privateers, but very few had
any idea that they had succeeded in driv
ing nearly a thousand of our vessels to
sail under otherfiags. The facts are alarm
ing, as well as deeply humiliating. Addit
ional interest is given this matter by the
news that the Florida is again upon our
coast and that the crew of five vessels
which were burned have reached Cape
May.
In 1880 the total tonnage of the United
States, exclusive of whaling and steam
tonnage, was five million two hundred
and nineteen thousand one hundred and
eighty-one tons. In 1864 it in the neigh
borhood of one million six hundred and
seventy-four thousand five hundred and
sixteen tons. That is we have lost in four
years three million five hundred and forty
four thousand sit hundred and sixty-five
tons. We say nothing of the loss through
o'the involuntary idleness of our vessels--
nothing of the number of ships that iie
rotting at our wharves and at foreign
ports. We would simply ask, at the rate
given above bow long a time must elapse
before our commercial marine will be en
tirely wiped out, and the American flag
unknown, in any foreign port, or even on
. our own seas, save as seen upon ships of
war ? From being actually greater than
that of any other nation on the face of the
earth, our tonnage has dwindled below
the standard of the third-rate maritime
powers.
ItgrThe rebel privateer Florida, has
made her appearance off the Capes of
Delaware. Six vessels -were captured.
Five of them were burned and the sixty
three sailors taken from them were landed
at the Delaware breakwater. The com
mander of the Florida, they report, used
them welL The Florida had previously
burned a vessel off Fortress Monroe, and
is still about the Delaware.

story, but it can't wake up Granny Wells.

"Enemiea of the Govenutent."
We often hear it said that there are en
emies-of the government in the North.—
Let us cite two specimens. After the in
vasion of Maryland had bemime a liza
and appalling fact, the N. Y. Tribune had
these headings :
"The Great Rebel Invasion! Every
thing as clear as Mud 1 Nobody Hurt—
Everybody Soared ! Ridiculous Exag
gerations ! A Few Small Skirmishes - !
Not a Man Willed thus Far! Two States
uaking before a Band of Horse-thieves !
Splendid Courage of the Farmete ! They
Successfully Drive Off—their Stock ! Un
paralleled amount of Humbug ! . The big
gest Story finds the most Behevers Cur
"tent Facts and Fictions of the Day 1"
This was on the 9th ; at a date when
Orley, if he was capable of knowing the
truth, knew that his ridicule Was wick
ed' and false; and calculated to influence
men from responding to the earnest and
repeated calls of the military authorities
for troops to repel a formiadable invasion.
In view of this fact, an extract from Gov.
Curtin's third call—which we, insert in
full on our outside—becomes worthy of
especial attention. Oar Governor says :
THE ENEMIES OF OUR GOVERN
MENT are active in deterring you, and
efforts have been made to dissuade you
from the belief that any considerable rebel
force is in your vicinity, and many of our
most loyal and patriotic citizens have
been thus deceived. Similar efforts wore
too successfully made last year at the mo•
ment when Lee's army was actually on
your borders.
Every reader will see that Greeley is
one of the enemies of the Government to
whom Curtin refers. There must be an
other for the term is in the plural. He is
close at hand. Three days later, when
Greeley's falsehood had become known to
the stupidest . creature who had heard the
well established news of the past week,
the Montrose Republican had the follow
big editorial item on the subject:
"The new rebel raid into Maryland and
Pennsylvania proves to be a humbug. It
is now said to be little more than an ex
cursion northward of a few rebel horse
thieves. There is evidence to show that
it is chiefly a stock gambling operation,
and telegraphic dispatches have passed
over the wires in Pennsylvania showing
that to be the nature of the movement.—
Very few rebels are north of Washington.
No rebels in Maryland east of Frederick,
and none anywhere numerous enough to
deserve attention. Gen. Wallace is clearing
out the State,and the only question now is
whether they can escape pursuit."
Here is not one fact or probability, but
at least nine well-known falsehoods. But
this not all; the current news of the past
week was excluded from that sheet, and
even Gov. Curtin's second and most ur
gent call for troops was suppressed. We
need not further hint at the motives that
prompted such a newspaper issue, than to
remind the reader that we have quoted
two instances of editors, who, by suppres
ing established facts and publishing most
willful falsehoods, placed themselves in
Gov. Curtin's list of " enemies of the gov
ernment."
Falsehood seems to be the main
stock in trade of the Lincoln politicians.
The shoddy organ in Montrose started
out by asserting that all the Republican
papers in the country give their support
to Lincoln and Johnson. We proved this
to be false ; but instead of admitting the
truth, that sheet keeps silent on the point,
and has commenced alleging that some
Democratic papers support Lincoln, and
has named three : the Boston Herald,
Armstrong Democrat, and Lawrence
Journal. We have yet to learn that any
such Democratiejournal as the first named
does °rims recently existed ; while as to
the two latter, it is as untruthful to call
them Democratic as it would be to say
that the shoddy organ is a Fremont or
gan because it was such eight years ago.
We have thus , exposed two false re
sorts of the shoddy organ ; what one will
it next invent?
r4eßy a decision from the Provost
Marshal General's Bureau, men drafted in
1q62, and who furnished substitutes for
three years, are not exempt from the next
draft, under the tecentmercilessact. This
additional piece of bad faith on the Part
of the administration will fall upon many
people with crushing form They at the
least, can see the necessity of getting rid
of the treacherous incubus that assumes
to itself the tide ofThe Government..
Virile Chicago Journal, a shoddy
organ, insists that Lincoln has .a right to
be President as long as the war may last
'even though it be an i ndefinite number of
terms ; and this hi what Limb meant when
he.decreed no ewspping k horses wh il e - we

The failure to do anything at. Rich
'pond except toelanghter an untold num
ber of men, and the recent invasion by
the rebels, is arousing the people to the
imbecility of the administration. The
Pittston Gazette, which supports Lincoln
fotre-electiOn, closes an article on this sub.
jeer and in reference to the nasal - of the
people to respond to dokpalls for the 100
days men In these *roan
"The fact seems to be, that war to the,
people has become irksome, and unless
the government adopts other measures,
and manages to progress more rapidly
than it bag, with the great work in hand,
the impression will soon become general,
that to fight the rebellion any longer is a
fruitless sacrifice of life id money."
Retaliatory Vandalism.
A few weeks ago the federal troops
were in Virginia, and the following re
port is made on their behalf:
"At Lexington, after destroying the
Military Institute, Hunter gave Gov.
Letcher's wife but five minutes time to
get out of her house. She barely escaped
with her family and a small lot of cloth
ing before the house was in flames."
Recently the rebels came near Balti
more, when the report says:
"The rebel cavalry burnt:die residence
of Governor Bradford tbisanorning. It
is only four miles out from this city, on
the Charles street road..
A squad of ten rebels set it on fire.—
They came to the residence, ordered out
the governor's family, permitting them to
take only a few valuables, and then set it
on fire.
A gentleman who was present at the
time Governor Bradford's house was
burned, says he was arrested and detain
ed by the rebels until after they bad fired
the building. The squad which perform
ed the act bad a written order in these
words: " The house of Governor Brad
ford to be burned in retaliation of the
burning of Governor Letcher's house by
the federal troops. B' order of Bradley
T. Johnson, commanding."
All the furniture and private papers
were burned.
Erne rebel invasion seems to be
over; and we give a IffslOW of it from
the Philadelphia Age, which has had the
most reliable news of the . affair—as it has
of war news generally. The rebels, ac
cording to various estimates, were 25,000
to 30,000'strong. Little notice has been
given to the call for State troops for 100
days. At the end of a week bat 32 had
reached Harrisburg, and at our latest ad
vice not a company had been mustered in.
Curtin called exclusively upon the " loyal"
men, and only wanted 24,000 out of 240,-
000 who belong to the Lincoln League—
but every tenth man would not go!—
What's the matter I It is feared they are
getting coppery I
The following is from tho Inaugural
Address of Abraham Lincoln, March 1 st,
1861:
Suppose you go to war, you cannot
fight always ; and when after much loss
on both sides, and no gain on either, you
cease fighting, the identical questions as
to terms of intercourse are again upon you.
The next paragraph claims the right of
rebellion and revolution ; and under that
claim Jeff Davis is now operating.
Ey-Lincoln's shoddy or&sn in Mont.
rose says that the Democrat, postponed
the Chicago Convention to show their
contempt for the Fourth of July! That
nasty lie is a sample of others in the same
article, and paper.
Arne State of Maine is believed to
safe from the rebels, Lincoln having sent
two gunboats to the coast for its protec
tion.
fir"" For years we have been hoping
that the rebels would assail Washington
city. At last—three years after they
should have done it they have made their
rush on the federal capital. We rejoice at
this."—Tribusw.
—Senator McDougal, on the 23d ult.,
introduced a resolution of theilaltimore
convention in the Senate, but Lincoln's
friends refused to let it be considered. It
was the one relative to the Monroe doc
trine, and this refusal to consider it has
settled the fact that while the Lincoln
party are deceiving the people into the
belief that they are favorable to the doc
trine, Lincoln has deliberately abandoned
and repudiated it.
—The Lincoln papers, generally, tried
to deny that the rebels had invaded the
North. Did they lie to hide the weak
ness of the Administration ; or did they
do it to prevent the people from rushing
to the rescue, hoping that the rebs could
then burn Washington, and give Lincoln
a chance to abandon the South and set up
a dictatorship over the North.

Frederick, and went with, him into tb
rebel service. On Wednesday afternoon
Gen. McCausland, the successor of Gen.
Jenkins, entered the town with about,l,-
500 cavalry. He levied $20,000 upon the
town, and seized Mr. Thomas A. Bolt, a
silversmith and, we believe, a member of
the
silversmith
to be held as a hostage for
the payment of the money. The money
was raised and paid in Maryland finds.—
rebel currency being contemptuously re
fused. There were large Government
stores in various places in town, and Gen.
McCausland didn't seem to have an appe
tite for applying the torch, so he placed
Mr. Isaac Nesbit, Clerk of the Courts, un
der heavy hoods to have the stores des
troyed. The bond was given, and the
stores burned after the rebels departed.
An additional ransom of $1,500 was paid
by Messrs. Nesbit, Hamilton and a few
others to save the warehouses of Messrs.
Thurston and Eichelberger, as their des
truction would have periled private pro
perty. Zeller it Co., having no Govern
ment stores in their warehouse, it was net
disturbed, although taken possession ot
by the rebel officers. There was a large
amount of private corn, oats, ite., in it ;
but when they were satisfied that it was
owned by individuals, it was not moved
or injured. The following receipt was
given Mr. Zeller when his warehouse was
seized.
" Q. M. DEPT, 14T11 VA. CAVALRY, July 6,
1864.—8 y order of Gen. McCausland, I
have taken charge of all stores in Zeller
da Co.'s private ware-house. The amount
of goods I cannot estimutte,but this shows
the disposition of them.
" E . R. CUBHWAW,
" Act. Brig. Q. M."
Considering that Mr. Zeller is one of
the most earnest Union men in the place,
he was treated rather fairly. The Gov
ernment stores, however, much more than
supplied their wants, and any injury to
Mr. Zeller would have been a wanton des
truction of private property„. We do not
learn that they so destroyed property of
any description, violent as were their
threats at times. About 2 A. M. on
Thursday morning, McCausland's com
mand left. Scouting parties still hovered
in and about the town, and about day
light of the same day Gen. lmboden came
in with about 180 men, to supply his com
mand with certain articles not to be had
conveniently in the dominions ofJeff Davis.
The hat store Of Messrs Rouskulp and
Updegrart, and the shoe store of Mr.
Knodle did a large trade with them—the
trade being wholly on the side of the rebels,
and Judge Small's shoe store narrowly
escaped, by the rebels being called off
suddenly by the startling cry that " the
Yanks are upon us I" Maj. Davis had the
immediate command under Imboden.—
The only property burned was the rail-road
water-tank and wood-house.

lowing :
" We are reliably informed that Hon.

Mr. Corwin was a strong adherent of

the position of U. S. Minister to Mexico.

'AI le Confederate expedition into Mary
lanais over, Mid its. history can now be
written:; The ;number of men engaged
were divide&into two bodies. They came

attacked Martinsburg while the other be
sieged Harper's Ferry. Martinsburg was
captored;-and stares athounting to three
millions of dollars carried off. The col
umn-then oromed - the'Petomae at Wil
liamsport„ and by skillful maneuvreing
'forced Sigel upon Maryland -Heights.,
The Confederate column at Harper's Per
ry besieged*Sigel for fonr days; whilst the
other column overran Western Maryland
as farad the M.onocacy. Hagerstown was
'captured and a contribution levied. Thou
sands from the -Cumberland Valley in
Pennsylvania, and many people in York
and Adams county, left their homes. The
harvest was ungathered and spoiling.—
The autho rities at Washington became
alarmed, anent to Grant for help. He
detached ts with a division of
troops, who arrived at Baltimore,_ and
'were - sent to the Monocaoy to aid Gener
al Wallace.
The arrival of Ricketts and Wallace
changed the Confederate plans somewhat.
Their troops abandoned Hagerstown and
marched against Frederick. The siege
of Maryland Heights was raised, and Its
assailants marching down the south bank
of the Potomac sent a flanking party
across the river at Point of Rocks. It
marched up the Monocau. Wallace was
surprised and defeated. He lost six can
non and many prisoners. He ordered a
hasty retreat toward Baltimore. The ad
ministration became more frightened, and
the North was in consternation. Sigel
was relieved from command, and his
troops, without a leader, could do noth
ing. The Confederates captured Freder
ick, and followed Wallace's retreat. From
Martinsburg eastward they tore up the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Wallace
withdrew to Ellicott's Mills, but the con
federates; after tearing up the railroad,
sent their main body south of it, and de
tached a cavalry force towards the North
ern Central Railroad.
Washington appeared to be in immin
ent peril, and the administration hurried
forward reinforcements. The 19th army
corps, under General Reynolds, which
bad been sent for as reinforcement for
Grant, was entering the mouth of the
Chesapeake. It was at once ordered to
Washington. One corps of Grant's army
—the Bth, under Wright--was detached
from the lines before Petersburg and sent
to Washington. General Wallace in Bal
timore was superceded by General Ord.
The Confederate cavalry expedition over
ran all Eastern Maryland. Twonty-Sve
miles of the Northern Central Railroad
were destroyed, and the Philadelphia rail
road was seriously injured. The cavalry,
loaded with plunder , came within six
miles of Baltimore ad returned to the
Confederate main body.
The main body was_ being - busily en
gaged in coming to the south bank of the
Potomac at and near Edward's Ferry. A
strong force had been sent towards Wash
ington to guard against surp . rise. Part
of it halted in front of Fort Stevens, on
Seventeenth street. Part marched to
wards Bladensburg, and custhe telegraph
to Baltimore, but did not tpjtire the rail
road. The Confederate oniposts made a
great show, and frightened the people in
Washington, but they made no attacks.
There was heavy skirmishing in which
the federal loss was about three hundred.
Meantime the confederate main body was
taking an immense amount of plunder to
the south side of the Potomac. On Tues
day night it. got safely over. The out
posts were called in. Bladensburg and
Washington suddenly found themselves
without an enemy. The confederate rear
crossed to the south bank of the Potomac
and the expedition was over. It cost the
North an
° immense sum, and caused one
of the greatest panics ever witnessed. By
h e diversion of forty thousand men from
General Grant h may have saved Peters
burg.
The expedition into Maryland, it ap
pears had an important effect upon the af
fairs at Petersburg. Before it began, Gen.
Grant's army was east and south of the
town, his southern flank being near the
Petersburg and Weldon railroad. He did
not actually hold this road, but his can
non placed on hills near the line prevent
ed the confederates from using it, or from
repairing the broken places near Reams'
Station. On Saturday night, 9th inst., a
summons for aid was sent. froth Washing
ton. It was- urgent and must be met.—
Grant, in response to it, took Rickett's
division and Wright's corps from the cen
tre of the line. They sailed down the
James and went to Washington. This
detachment made a contraction of the
federal lines necessary. The various
troops on the southern wing were moved
northward to fill the gaps caused by the
departing regiments. The southern flank
was drawn in negly a mile. The bills,
near the Weldon tailroad, were abandon
ed and at once occupied by the confeder
ates.,Strong bodies of the enemy were
move down from Petersburg, and works
were thrown up on the bills. The rail
road was repaired, and on Wednesday
last their trains began running.
