THE NEWS.
OUR Baltimore correspondent records the facts -of
the occupatiOn of Frederick by the rebels, and the
elate of Waifs in Baltimore. This record is not one
of comPliment entirely to the loyal spirit of that
threatened city. Sympathy with treason was mani
fested in various ways, and loyalty was insufficiently
active. An appeal from the Governor, dated Sun
day, succeeded in stirring up the citizens, and brisk
work went on at the barricades. Only a small force
of rebel Tdarylanders had visited Frederick, who
were driven out by our cavalry, returned, and may
have gone away again, to join a larger force in the
neighborhood. Great doubt is placed upon the re.
ports of a large army being at Hagerstown. There
is less doubt, however, that the rebels had crossed
near Antietam, to the number of 25,000. A special
despatch to The Press, dated Monomicy Junction,
places the nearest rebels at Little Antietam.
THE general eavalry engagement, rumored yester
day, between the forces of Pleasanton and Stuart,
is revealed in an official despatch from General
Pleasanton, published to-day. The battle, located
about Middleburg and Aldie, resulted in triumph to
the national forcee. The rebels were attacked at
- Middleburg on the 21st, and a tierce fight ensued, in
which the rebels were driven all day. Their losses
were very severe, a number of prominent officers
being among thekilled and wounded. Even under
the most difficult circumstances troops have never
behaved better than our own on this occasion, ac
cording to the testimony, of the commander. We
learn further, of the Army of the Potomac, that
every confidence is felt in its commander, who is
actively inamouvring against the enemy. -
CORRESPONDENCE from the army before Vicks
burg expresses great confidence of the capture of the
city. General Grant himself is also reported to
have declared that he was fully able to take the
city by assault, but would not uselessly expend life.
INDIANA. has been invaded in the neighborhood of
Leavenworth, by two regiments of rebels, for the
purpose of burning the bridges of the Ohio and Mts.
eiseippi Railroad. Troops were moving to intercept
them.
WE have a despatch from Harrisburg, which re
ports the belief that the rebels in force are invading
Pennsylvania in the direction of Harrisburg.
Troops near Chambersburg are actively recon
noitring, and prepared to engage the advanoe of
the enemy. The City Troop, of Philadelphia, have
just had a successful skirmish.
EX-GOVERNOR REYNOLDS, of Illinois, one of the
Speakers at the late Democratic Convention in
Spiingfield, is noticed as the aged author of an ex
tremely treasonable letter to Assistant United States
Treasurer Sturgeon, of St. Louis, praying that
officer to turn over the public funds to the - Southern
Confederacy.
Paeans of Harrisburg complain that in the in
stance of a stranger regiment from New Jersey, pa
triots and soldiers nobly at work to defend the capi
tal of the State have been subjected to the jeers
and taunts of skulkers and disloyaliste in Harris
burg.
BRIGADIER GENERAL GARFIELD, chief of Gen.
Rumens' staff, writes that the army greets the
Hon, John Brough, (Union candidate for Governor
of Ohio,) and will give him greater greeting in Octo
ber. Ex• Governor Dennison, in return, writes that
as the army will defeat the enemy in front, the
loyal voters will guard the rear.
COL. W3l. M. BROUGIT, noniinated over Gen. Fitz
Henry, Warren, a well-known able officer, as the
Union candidate for the Governorship of Ohio, is an
officer of bravery and distinction. At the storming
of Vicksburg he led a daring attack. When the war
broke out, he left an intportant judgeship, and enter
ed the volunteer service as major. Another soldier,
Col. Chas. Anderson, distinguished in the battle
of Shiloh, is the Union candidate for Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio.
Con. S. P. ICAIiE, the notorious marshal of police
in Baltimore, escaped from durance, has been made;
it is extravagantly reported, a major general in the
Confederate service. "
A DESPATCH from Lee to Davis, dated the 25th,
states that God has again crowned Confederate
valor with success. Eweii stormed the entrench
ments at Winchester, capturing artillery, &a.
A omlam FIRB at Charleston is mentioned in the
news of to-day, along with particulars of the re
markable capture of the ram Fingal. --
The Invasion of the State.
Personal advices from the State capital,
and a full understanding of the military
situation, as well as the efforts of the Go
vernor to repel invasion, enable us to speak
this morning with confidence. There are
many who think that the failize or neglect
of the rebels to capture Harrisburg indicates
that the recent alarm was groundless, and
that our StAte authorities were under the in
fluence of a frenzy that is sometimes seen
in peaceful States. Political enemies of the
Governor took occasion to ridicule him
as an alarmist, and to attribute to the worst
purposes his. manly and brave preparations
to meet the enemy.. Nothing could be more
cruel. Governor Curvrrx was among those
'who, a few weeihs ago, or immediately after
the battle of Chancellorville, anticipated
the 'danger that now threatens us.. He
reasoned very justly, that General LEE,
as soon as he recovered from the effects
of the attack of General HooßEnfamiehed,
weary, and desperate—in the midst of
a country that had been exhausted and
devastated by his troopers,' would move
into the -rich ans.'', inviting valleys of Penn
sylvania. STUART' had been there, and
returned with glowing accounts of the milk
and honey and fatness of the land. Mr.
BARCLAY, our philanthropic and eminent
townsman, entertained the Governor's
opinion. In the pnrsuit of his benevolent
mission among our soldiers he had obtained
information:leading him to believe that LEE
was massing his forces near Culpeper, with
pontoon trains and transportation, and pro_
nouncing his purpose to be the invasion of
PennsylVania. These impressions were
communicated to the Department of War;
and, although the Ariny of the Potomac,
weakened and reduced, had as much as
any army could be expected to accomplish,
the Government directed that it should be
manoeuvred with the view of protecting
Pennsylvania as well. as the capital of the
country. _
The attack upon Brandy. Station was pro
jected with this purpose.:.. A comparatively
unimportant affair, by reason of the small
numbers engaged, this attack was, in itself,
one of the most brilliant and atidacious
achievements of the war. The - rebel news-
papers, with dismal candor, admitted, that
their force had been surprised in a Shaineful.
manner, and were only - saved from annihi
lation by fierce fighting. That attack had;
the proper effect. LSE's great'cavalry force
was shattered, and, instead of advancing in
proud array, it was compelled to bury, its,.
dead and wounded. This saved. the State
from an invasion that would have bees deso
lating in its character, for, instead of a
mere occupation of ' Chambersburg by a
small cavalry force, we should have had
STUART on the fords of the Upper Susque
hanna. When we compare the raid of Jim . -
lIINS with that of STUART last year; we see
how weak the cavalry force is now, compared
'with 'what it was at that time. STUART en
tered" Pennsylvania- in the face'of an army .
that occupied Maryland, held the upper Po
tomac, and was - within thirty miles of Cham-:
. bersburg. That army is now on the other
side- of the Potomac, and has no control
overthe upper part . of the river, and yet
BTthavrs successor has been linable thus far
to do more than burn a bridge and ateal
horses. LEE evidently has no intention to
invite from HOOK - En an attack that would
certainly be fatal.
The Administration-did all that was in its
.
power, and the Stateg have done the rest.
We thank the Governors of New York and
New Jersey and Ohio for their pronptitude
and energy. To be sure, a successful
invasion of this State would transfer the
war to the Delaware and the tiudson and
the Ohio, and any aid to us
„is the aid of
self-preservation ; but we must neverthelsss
see that this joint action of these States is the
proudest evidence of strength and Majesty
that the - Republic has seen. A week ago
and Harrisburg was at the mercy' of the
most enterprising rebel general. If JENKINS
had shown half the enterprise of GRIEESON
or STONEMAN, or if he had not been weaken.
ed by PLEASANTON'S assault, he mighthave
ridden to the top of Capitol Hill :and taken
part in the deliberations of the Democratic
Conventiom Now, there is a large army
under General Couch ; long Jams' of forti
fications encircle the approaches to the city,
and before Harrishprg- can be assailed the
beautiful plain aiavalley that roll so gently
doWn ; side of,. the Susquehanna would
become a field - of blood. Rifle, -pits and
earthworks command every ford' - !of the
river, and in the West fortificatio4 : are
springing up in every *affable point So
far as mere fighting strength is conceitied--
the,. strength to repel or aysaill'ennsyl -
, vania is -`stronger to-day-by the l power of a
huildred thousand men than i3h.e'was in the
beginning of - this . -month'of June ; and it
was no idle boast of hiq, ; Excellency,,,:. the'
Governor, that before mairdaYs'we should
be able to drive the rebels fiorn the State if
they persisted in the occupation iof the
southern counties:
Governor CuarruT, by his energy and
promptitude, has thus made Pennsylvania
ais a great army in the path of LEE'S ad
vance. General HooKen' is in the rear, and
operating on the south side of the Potomac.
This was the suggestion: of General EIAL
-I.ECIC to GeneraI•3IcPLELLAN - before the ad
vance to Antietam, and it was thought if it
had been taken, that the great battle would
not have been a finitless victory The aid
given to General HOOKER by the action of
Governor CURTIN' is incalculable. No mat
ter what the effect of the next battle may
be, Pennsylvania is prepared. If the re
bels are defeated, we can-assist in their
discomfiture. If they -should be victo
rious, we are ready, with fixed bayonets, to
receive their advance. As we cannot rule
the, uncertain chance of war, we do not
know what the future will bring ; and it is
the true policy to be prepared, at the same
time to rejoice at a triumph, or to retrieve a
disaster.'-This is now the position of Penn
sylvania.
Oar Militia System.
One or two lessons maybe learned from
thelate excitement, and, among others,-the
necessity for a general enrolment of the
State militia. During the time of war, and
particularly when hostilities are so near our
State borders, the militia should be kept on
a war footing. Virginia obtained much of
the strange strength with which she has re
sisted the Union army by her admirable
system of State militia. Some- of. -the best
generals in the Southern army—LEE, JActr
sox, and SmuArer—were in the service of
Virginia - before they entered the army of the
rebellion ; and even now, under the leader
ship of --the discontented and disgraced
JOIIN B. FLOYD, there is still a large
army of militia acting as guerillas,
independent companies and regiments,
prowling in the mountains, oppressing the
loyal people of the upper counties, and in
terfering with railwaY'and telegraPhie 'com
munications. The aid thus given to the
cause of the rebellion has been of the most
A libstantial character. Pennsylvania should
qufftve a militia system as perfect as - Virginia ;
and although its organization was post
poned until the danger almost mastered us;
there can lie no better time to commence
than now. Let the Governor take the mat
ter in hand, divide the State into new mili
tary districts, place good Men at thehead;
and commence the work of organization and
enrolment immediately.
A Southern View or Emancipation.
The rebels have given a new argument to
the friends of Emancipation. We learn that
in their recent adventure in Pennsylvania,
all free negroes captured by them were taken
away. This did not . include able-bodied
men only, but women and children. If able
bodied men alone had been taken it might
truly have been said, that as they were lia
ble to conscription, and therefore: portions
of our military strength, their capture
was a just act of war. This impreSe
mut of negio women and children justi
fies the assertion 'that they are to be
sold to pay the expenses .of the South
ern war. This conduct at once removes
very argument that might be adduced
against the act of national emancipa
tion. The Southerners themselves . do not
regard the negro as labor, or the rights of
freedom as personal rights. He, rates him
as so much propertya commodity to be
bought and sold, and available as a source
of military revenue. We, of 'course, must
crush the war power, and any power that
sustains the war. Is there any better way
of doing this than to emancipate this valua
ble Property, and convert the negro to our
uses as, we would convert cotton, and gold,
and cannon ?
European Troubles.
•
Every eighteen years or so there is an
epidemic in Europe, which always leads to
warfare,. and sometimes to revolution. Not
to go very far back, let us take the year
1312, in. whichAwo great Powers blundered
exceedingly, as France, by invading Rus
sia, and England by, declaring war with
,the. United States. Eighteen years later,
in - 1830, the French Revolution took place,
and substituted. the Orleans for the Bourbon
dynasty : Poland arose in revolt ; Belgium
asserted . her independence, 'and became a
kingdom ; England became infuriated un
der the popular demand for Parliamentary
Reform. Another cycle recurred in 1848-9,
when the third French Revolution took
place. Germany flew to arms. Prussia and.
Austria contended for supremacy. Hun
gary asserted her independence.. Sicily
revolted. War for freedom arose in Italy:
A republic was established in Rome on the
flight of the Pope. There were Chartist
movements in England and m . .rebellion in
Ireland. Now, the movement hab recomL
menced, after another pause of eighteen
years.. Greece throws off her Bavarian mis
.
rulers. Poland is - in arms for, indepen
dence. England has got into trouble with
Brazil. France has invaded Mexico. Elus
s.ia is embarrassed with difflcultieS. Prus
sia,appears on 'the way to dismiss her wilful
and very stupid 'as well as tyrannical
monarch. .
The closing of the. Chamber . of Deputies
at Berlin, by the King's order, has been
followed by a decree against the freedom of
the press, which has created general dis
satisfaction among all parties. The King,
now in his - 67th year, has been compelled,
by ill-health, to _take the mineral waters at
Carlsbad for a time. The Crown Prince,
his only son, has publicly expressed dis
satisfaction al the policy.of the Ministry,
and has declined to act as Viceroy of Prus
sia during: the" - King's absence. Prince
CARL, the King's brother, has accepted the
office, .and, the last reports say, "is pre
pared to go, any length in carrying out the
policy - of the feudal party." If he does;
his own ejection from Berlin, the deposition
of the King, and the assumption of the
crown by the Crown-Prince, Queen Vic-
TORIA'S soni-law, may be -looked Tor be
fore many weeks have elapsed. Other
European troubles will more slowly Come
to a head.
Our Food and Dress.
The promise of an unusually plentiful
harvest in Europe, and particularly in Eng
land, has already began to check exporta
tions hence. 'Notwithstanding our war, the
'quantity of grain and corn grown in this
country, during the present year, will be as
much, at least, as the production of 1862.
If our exports be diminished, which ;must
follow if Europe also has a good harvest,
the supply here will be greater than the de
mand, and the price of flour will tumble
down, naturally causing a reduction in s the
present exorbitant prices ofother provisions ;
for, all through the civilized world, the cost
of the "staff of life " regulates the cost of
other descriptions of food.. If 'a barrel of
flour, fit for ordinary domestic use, were
sold at $5, instead of $8.50 to $9, we should
pay 8 to 10 cents per pound for veal and
mutton, and 12 to 15 cents per' pound for.
best beef and lamb, instead of from 16 to 18
cents for the two former, and 20 to 25 cents
for the latter.
So far, so good ; for the reduction of-the
present enormous cost of food is a great
good. But there is another phase of the quest
tion. Provided that a much smaller,amount
than ordinary of our' cereal" products be ex-
ported to Europe, the balance of trade, which
regulates the exchanges, will turn against
us, and our people should count the proba
bility of disaster from that. Suppose that
to, the amount of one million dollars of
any article be exported to England, and
that we have been in the habit of receiving
an equivalent in produce or manufactures,
the account is balanced. But, when Eng
land Aakes only half that amount from us,
while we continue to receive the whole
amount from her, there is a balance of half
a million against us—a balance to 1:)e paid
in gold, to be paid when due, the penalty
being the slur of bankruptcy, the disgrace
of debt, and the stoppage of credit, if not
so psiV!?:.
Althoug4 our cost of, Ciret_
greatly increased, of late, it has .been
slightly felt by most persons, except those
wit :•itifid'inCcinies. When that cost lo*,
this class ;gains ; when 'that - cost is high, it
suffers. At present, money is abundant, for
the expenditure for the war.is perpetually
throwing large amounts into circhlation;
and these amounts are largely disbtfied in
the purchase of real estate, and articles of
luxury in food,'dress, and ornament. The
demand for these 'articles, mostly imported
from Europe, is almost unexampled, and
will not abate while the Aim lasts, even
though our exports should dwindle down to
ft,, of what they were, when not the
cereal. products alone, but cotton, tobacco,
ride, and turpentine were also among them. ,
The difference" between what we sell to
Europe, and what we buy from. it must
be paid in gold; it ikeyident that, . under
that necessity, the price of gold will run up
to a monstrous premium ; and this will pre
vent our reaping the • advantage of cheap
living .from the abundant harvest soon to
be garnered in. • •
There are two remedies for this evil. One,
to prohibit the exportation. of the precious
metals, a course adOPted by England in her
Napoleonic wars ; the other, to restrain the
luxurious habits that have so much increased
Of late. The first, to be done by the Executive
and Congress; is not likely to be resorted to,
although :it would apply the axe to the root
of the evil. The other process, which simply
consists in Wearing plain chithea instead of
costly foreign fabrics, tests with our wives
and daughters, and is as little likely to, be
adopted as the other. It is easy - 10 foresee,
however, that if "ye shall walk in silk attire,"
Continue the burthen of the popular strain,
the time is not distant when the'. prices of
foreign luxury will be doubled or even
trebled, (with no more profits than at pre
sent to the_ shopkeepers,) and that the pre-'
mium on gold to send abroad to pay for their
original purpose will also be tremendously
augmented. ' •

LETTER FROM. "OCCASIONAL."
WASITING'rON June 22 1863
A good way to understand our relations
to our country and our duties to ourselves
is to take a glance at <the stupendous mili
tary operations, as well• of the rebels as of
the Government of the - United States. No
such spectacle has ever been witnessed, and
no such issues put in trial in the history of
the human race. There is not Southern
State which is not either a field of conflict or
is held in subjection by the Federal arms; and
now that the wave of battle is about to roll
in upon the free Commonwealths of the
Union, the keen sense of what is the duty
of every citizen must be everywhere experi
enced. Two years ago we not only under
rated the bloody and .deliberate programme
of the traitors, but reposed upon the" too
dangerous security that they could be put
down in a single campaign. As this delu
s-ion vanished in the.. light of the compre
hensive operations of the Government by
land and sea, we then rested upon the be
lief, that, however the energies of our
soldiers and seamen might be resisted*
in the seceded sections and along the
coasts of the seceded States, no hostile
foot would ever press any non-slaveholding
quarter of the Union. And it was this con
sciousness that gave bitterness and zest to
the sympathizers with secession.; and, I re
gret to add, increased indifference in loyal
communities where indifference should
never have been shown. Now, however,
that me know, the enemy is menacing our
very doors, and that our whole population
will soon be under aril* may we nothope
that indifference among loyal men will be
banished forever, and that the bitterness of
those who have heretofore been deaf to their
country's sufferings will pass away ? Let us
recollect that in the South unanimity has
been attained through the suffering inflicted
by the rebellion upon the people. Their
very familiarity with war has rendered them
comparatively callous to its cruelties and in
humanities. Not, _indeed; that the loyal
Southern masses have forgotte,n that the
time must come when they.will;be delivered
from their oppressors, but they have been
compelled to submit to a tyranny which
they could neither oppose nor control.
In the 'fiee States, if the peace
ful and prosperous scene under which
we have been exulting has been sud
denly changed, we must remember that all
the agonies in store fir us are but. the price
a grateful people should ever be ready to
.pay, for their liberties ; and that if.we are to
suffer, it is no more than others haVe done
for us. Above all, should we keep in per
petual memory the avowed purposes of the
Fecessio.nists, never to yield, until their nsti
tution of sla,yery and ,their rebellion are
newly protected and formally reco,gnized.
Strong in the sentiment that they : have been
irresistible, in some of the southern cam
paigns, they now propose to themselveq a
deliberate invasion of the free States. The
'banner they carry forward is no longer that
of " State rights," but of a slave aristocracy.'
This is one of the significant teachings of
these Wonderful and novel times, and rhave
no more doubt that the people of Pennsyl
vania will listen to it, and act upon it, than
I have that the close of the war will be the
end of slavery, and the beginning of a new
lease Of life to the American itepublic.
A Fight In Charleston Harbor.
Dos Torr, June 22.—A letter in the Herald, from the
blockading fleet off Charleston, aays that on the
. — afternoon of - 12th inst. the rebel batteries on Morris
Island opened fire upon our troops on Folly Island.
Fer.half an hour no notice was taken of the. firing
by our forces; but presently the gunboats Pawnee
And Commodore McDonough steamed up, to;within.
good range of the rebel batteries 'and poured in a
- deadly. fire from their heavy guns.
The Union batteries on Folly Island now opened
their fire; and for three hours shot and shell flew
thick and`fast. We could see that the rebel shot
fell - short, while those from our, -.batteries sand gun
boats burst midst the'rebel batteries.
The firing lasteduntil sunset, but the result of the
engagement is not fully known.
The rebels' ere seen carrying off a number of
killedland wounded.
During the firing the rebel rams came out from
behind Fort Sumpter, and proceeded down about
two miles from that fort, svhere_they remained until
the engagement was over, not daring to takepart
in the tight.
On the same night the whole roadstead and ship
ping were brilliantly illuminated for several hours
by an extensive conflagration raging in Charleston.
The heavens were lighted for miles around, and the
destruction of property Must have been very,heavy.

From' Maryland Heights.
[Special Despatch to The Press.)
Mono()Acr, June 22.-1 have just returned from-
Maryland Heights. The place is strongly defended,
and is the best security of Harper's Ferry, which it
admirably commands. No rebels have yet appeared,
Should they come, a severer trial than heretofore
will be required ere this position is overcome. -
From immediate authorities I have learned that
the nearest rebels are at Little Antietam, about six
miles from Harper's Ferry. Their, force' at that

was proMptly met, and, from information received,
neither. side gained much advantage for several
hours, when the rebels began to give way, and for
hours afterwards it was a running fight, our forces

large number of wounded rebels, were left in the
town of Upperville. They left their dead and
wounded upon the field. Of the former I saw up
wards of twenty. We also took a large number of

disastrous day to the rebel cavalry.
Our lose has been very small, both in men and

FURTHER" PARTICULARS.
WASHINGTON, June 22. —By arrivals here to-night,
it is ascertained that General Pleasanton, yesterday
morning, in his advance from Middleburg on the
road to Ashby's Gap, encountered the rebel force a
short distance from the first-named town. He at
tacked them with. great impetuosity and broke their
front.
The rebels resisted bravely, contesting the ground
foot by foot until when near Upperville they at
is flank movement on our left, which was
promptly met and repulsed by Gregg's command.
Our light battery did fearful execution in their
ranks, while their artillery, although well 'served,
was comparatively harmless.
Gen. Pleasanton charged upon the enemy in Up
perville in three columns. The advance, under Kil
patrick, dashed into the town, and, after a brisk
#ght, :drove - tiCe rebel cavalry back, when they as
sumed a new position and made another stand,
whence they were again driven and retreated to
wards Ashby Gap.
General Pleasanton having learned that the Gap
was protected by a large rebel force of infantry and
artillery, contented himself with holding the van
tage ground, and cleared the route of the killed
and wounded. The enemy's force, like our own,
was composed of cavalry, light artillery, and dis
, mounted skirmishers.

The Surrender of Puebla.
(From the Portland (Me.) Argus, Jura. 20.7
Judge Lane, who resigned the judgeship of the
municipal court of this city to take the consulship
to Vera. Cruz, Mexico, returned to the city yester
day, after an absence of several months. 'Elia health
is excellent.
From him we learn, that although the French haVe
taken Puebla, it was but a barren victory. They got
the city, but the people were gone. The Mexicans re
sisted nobly, holding out with great obstinacy, ex
pecting to be relieved by-the forces under Comon
fort ;,but either through negligence or bribery (the
latter suspected) he allowed his army to be surprised
and cut to pieces. Not long after this disaster Ortega
surrendered the city, but instead of the 17,000 men
and nine hundred officers reported to have laid
down their -arms, there were only three or four
hundred. The rest had escaped to the capital, carry
ing what they could, splicing the cannon, destroying
the small arms, &a. Their ammunition had been•
nearly all expended in the siege. The intelligence
reached Vera Cruz the day before iTudge Lane left,
contradicting the previous reports circulated by the
French, and was believed to be authentic. The -
French had reported that the large number of pri
soners alleged to have been captured were on their
way to Vera Cruz—the men to be sent to Martinique
and the officers to France; but their non.arrival,
after a month's delay, was finally explained by the
statement that they had violated their parole and
escaped.
Judge Lane feels confident that if the success had
been what was at - first represented, the French
would have treated with the Mexican Government
and closed the war ;
_but that -- tnia virtual - defeat
will, to save honor, compel them to. continue the
struggle. Ile does not believe, however, that they'
will be able to advance on the, capital without large
reinforcements. They have sent about 40,000 troops
in all to Mexico; the vomito and 'Mexican bullets
have reduced this number to about 20,000—not
enough to take Mexico and hold the line of commu
nication.
Revolution in Uruguay..
Bunxos AYnns, April 27,—We have the last week
inaugurated a new revolution in Uruguay. That
little republic has enjoyed a long peace—ten years—
and has prospered beyond expectation. Exports
have increased over one thousand per cent., and the
tariff_ on imports has afforded a revenue that has
brought an enormous public debt within control.
The Piesidential election is approaching, and the
prominent candidate is Lucas Moreno. This man
has been prominent for a long time in that republic.
He was a high and favorite officer of Gen. Oribe,
whose horrible ciuelties make the blood run cold
after so many years. His early life was in a train
ing where blood was a familiar thing. The cruelties`
of Roma were systematic, and resulted in a consist
ent despotism ; but Oribe's, and those of this crea
ture, Moreno, were only uncalled-for cruelties.
There is a story told of Oribe that well illustrates
his character, and incidentally that 'of Moreno.
Every one says it is an index to the two men.
When one of the up country chiefs, being con
quered, was compelled to yield to Roses, one stipu
lation was that-his daughter, who had run away
from -him or had been stolen away, should be re
turned to him as she left—single. .To this Rosas
agreed, and sent for her to Oribe, in whose country
she lived. Oribe found she was married, but, not
wishing to disoblige his friend Roma, he ordered the
husband to be shot, which was done. She was re
turned single, and in two or three months was
married again. Those three men were not savages,
but white, baptized Christians,, and leaders among
these people twelve years ago. ,
The probable election of Moreno to the Presi
dency has stirred up a revolt. It is headed by Ge
neral-Flores, by birth an Uruguayan, and always - a
restless spirit. He joined a revolt in that country
in 1858, which was suppressed by the massacre of
Quinteros, at which all the officers and privates who
surrendered were immediately executed. Flores
escaped and came to the Confederation, together,
with a large number of his countrymen, and they
have done good service in the army of the Xational
Government in this country.
Moreno, whom Flores purposes to overthrow by a
revolution, is a little beyond the prime of life, quite
corpulent, and not at all a man of learning or of
genius. The commander-in•chief of the Uruguayan
forces is General Medina, who has always been of
the insurgent party. He is severely suspected now,
and this Moreno is, appointed his secretary, no
doubt, to watch him. Which of these two men will
yet fall by the policy of the other is a problem which
time will soon solve.
On our own side of the water we have but little
cause for alarm. Gen. Penaloza is in revolt in
Rioja. He is the chief.who demanded his daughter
back, single, and who gained his request. 'Hia is
rather a successful raid than a formidable rebellion.
More peaceful projects are
,prevailing. On May 20
there was inaugurated the Cordova and Rosario
Railroad, at'which the President oEthe republic and
various Ministers and Governors were present. It
was grandly celebrated, as it ought to be. It is the
"Central Argentine Railroad," and it is intended to
be the connecting link between the ,two oceans.
There will beno difficulty in getting the stock taken
in Europe, though for the interests of the road it is
intended to have eunuch taken. here as possible.
The general government guaranties seven per cent.
dividend per annum.
The provincial Government here has approved
the violent elections of two weeks ago, in spite of
the evidences of fraud that were found. During the
discussion of the subject 'in the Legislature there
was great excitement. Troops were called to keep
order around and within the State House. At one
time the bar was so noisy that an order was made to
clear it, which the police were unable to do ; so the
grave body adjourned. If they could not scare the
disturbers away they could go themselves.
In this city there is a liberty enjoyed that almost
amounts to license. 'EI Novel is the title of a peri
odical designed to ridicule :the sacred Scriptures.
Some of its publications are shameful, and yetit
meets with no restraint froMpriest or police. Senor
Bilboa, an editor and a man of both scholarly and
oratorical eminence here, has issued a work in which
he charges all the backwardness and the misfortunes
of poor Soiith ;America to its Catholicism. The
Bishop anathernatizes the book, and that is all. Its
doctrines are read and believed by multitudes. For
a long time' the Bible was on the list of forbidden
books to the booksellers. There is a gentleman here
who, for ten days past, has gonefromhouseto house
selling from ten to fifteen Bibles a day, chiefly in
the Spanish and Italian languages. lie is not mo
lested, and thus far the authorities do not deny the
Bible to the people. Indeed, there is a Spanish
family whom I often visit, in whose house I see a

This regiment numbers one thoasand men, and-is,
composed of some of the most respectable and
telligent young men of the city.
We learn. that among the regiments • sworn, in-at
Harrisburg for six-months, was the 129th Penney',
vania, Col. - Frick, of :Pottsville. This regiment,
after serving.for nine. _months,- and; participating -fn
several, hattles,,returneClome .about thirty, days
ago ;. but as soon as GovXOurtin issued his call for.
troops, Col. Frick called - together his officers - and
men, and-they inimediatcly repaired to Harrisburg.
They are now armed, equipped, and mustered in,
ready agaircto fight for the old fiag.The example
of Col. Frick?' regiment is worthy of imitation, and
contrasts widely with the conduct of those who,
after, reaching Harriaburg, refused to be sworn in
for six months.
The Wissahickon Cavalry were among the first
to respond to Gov. Curtin , s call, and were promptly
at Harrisburg ready for duty. They have been
regularly sworn into the United States service and
assigned to duty.
Edward Wright, a member of the Ist City Tioop,
broke his leg at Gettysburg.
Col. Edward Fitzki is raising a regiment, to be
known as the 4th Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery:
It is to be employed- in the fortifications of Ilarris
burg, and is for six months , service. Col. Fitzki has
been an officer in -the regular army,- and served
through the Peninsular campaign. The headquar
ters of the regiment are at 444 North Third street.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET..
PHILADELPHIA. June 22, IS6
Gold was steady to-day at 144 untiVnear the close,
when it fell off X per cent., with considerable sales.
The weakness of the gold market is a source orsome sur
prise to - many, who think the uncertain aspect of affairs
in Virginia warrants a donsiderable rise. Perhaps the
moat Polent causal are the scarcity of - money in NeW
York and the impediments to a free specalation.... The
,same rule of a tight money market controls stock opera
tions, and the bears are apt to have nail theirown way.
In our city, money is comparatively easy, but we cannot
afford to send our money to New York-.for investment,
because the balance of exchange - would be - so largely
against us that it would cost more to get our money-back
than the additional interest we could command would
amount to. The Empire City may control the price of
gold, and occasionally give a tone to our stock market,
but it has very little effect on our supply of money.
Rates here are low, while good borrowers in New Yerk,
have some trouble in getting money at 7 per cent The
news from General Pleasanton, late in the day, caused
large sales of grid to be made at 143. with a declining
tendency. Government securities show some irregu
larity-, the sixes of 1891 selling up to 109, and the seven
thirties at 10634.
The conversions into the five-twenty loan, last Week,..
amounted to over three millions two hundred thousand,
which, considering the intense excitement which pre
vailed, concerning the rebel raid in Maryland, is a very
fair exhibit. Subscriptions amounted to something
over balf,a million of dollars to-day.
&The Stock market showed symptoms of considerable
strength to-day, buyers being more willing to 'advance
a fraction; but, as holders were stiff in their demands,
only a small amount of business was effected. Reading
sixes 1896 sold at 110; 106 was bid for the '7o's; 109 for
the convertible. Pennsylvania Raili'oad mortgages were
without change. Camden and Amboy mortgages sold at
109; 1680's at 104; Chester Valley sevens at 40; 102% was
bid :for State lives, the coupons selling at 105. Susque
hanna Canal sixes at 60.
Beading shares sold well at 52, closing at 01%—an ad
vance of ;4 . .. Beaver Meadow was steady at 74, Minehili

at 66, Little Schuylkill at 48%, Elmira at 32, the preferred

North Pennsylvania at 14.
Schuylkill Navigation preferred was active at an ad
