The Recent Bald.
What was the real significance of the re
cent raid ? When Washington was iso
lated from the rest of the nation, and popu
lar apprehension was
,gravest, there were
not wanting men, even claiming to be loyal
men, who blamed the Administration and
its generals for the danger threatening the
National Capital. • There 'Were plenty of
men who took this superficial view of the
matter : Wq had been at war over three
years ; for more than three years we had
vainly endeavored - to capture Richmond,
and at length, after these years of biittles
and marches and bloodshed, it was our
own Capital that was assailed, beleaguered;
and threatened with capture. The injus
tice of this desponding view is now fully,
manifest. The aspect of the military
situation has completely changed within a
few days, and dawn has succeeded the
`darkness. If the appreheniions which
the Administration has always entertained
respecting the safety of Washington seemed
to gain confirmation from the boldness of
this last rebel advande, so alio has the con
fidence which General•Gnazir has felt in
the safety of the Capital been fully justified
by the precipitateness of the rebel retreat.
The "invasion" has dwindled clown to a
" raid,": and the raid has really proved a
failure. According to the best estimates
there ware about fifteen thousand 'rebel
infantry in Maryland; yet, with
.the
ex
ception of the plunder they carried off, the
fifteen thousand infantry accomplished
very little more than HARRY GILMORE'S
two or three hundred cavalry. They gained
some advantage over WALT4OB, it is true,
and it is also tree that this advantage was
Ron than counterbalanced by their :re
pulse at Fort Stevens. Irr fact, all they
did was to alarm and mystify the North
fora couple of days,•captare two generals,
who subsefluently ewe ped,and carry on lot
of horses and cows. Yet - one other thing
they did: they exhibited the terrible weak
ness of their cause and the desperate na
ture of their situation. They never before
had so promising a chance to take Wash
ington, and can never have such a chance
again, and they could not take it. They
could not *even succeed in impressing Ge
neral GRANT with the idea that there Was
a possibility of such a disaster. Nor would
any of us in the. North have been deluded
into such a belief, had they not taken the
precaution to sever railroad and telegraphic
communication, and so leave us at the mer
cy of exaggerated rumors as to their
strength. It is clear enough now that they
dreaded lest we should be undeceived in
this particular before they had secured their
booty and departed. So far as substantial
military advantage goes the enterprise
was fruitless, and its failure amounts simply
to a confession.of Seuthern weakness and
a concession to Northern strength. The
strength and confidence of the North have
„never been more plainly or more gratifyingly
exhibited than during the past two weeks.
While a rebel force, believed to be nume
rically formidable, . was advancing with
rapid strides against the Capital, GRANT,
with his indomitable legions, lay calmly
and imperturbably confronting the grim for
tresses of Petersburg. And later still,
when the safety of. Baltimore seemed only
assured,by the imminent peril of the Na
tional Metropolis, what was the temper of
the public mind throughout the North? Ex-
Cept in Maryland, we have seen no evidence
that any scare existed ; and except in the
lower counties of .this State, so very in
viting to rebel incursions, no Undue - excite
ment prevailed. It was not apathy, as
some of the Copperhead papers asserted.
Enthusiastic meetings were held in this
city and elsewhere, and the call made upon
Pennsylvania was
.responded to with a
hearty promptness sufficient to indicate
that the patriotic spirit of the peo
ple is unflagging. The people were
calm, because they • placed reliance in
their Government ; because they had
faith in the fortifications of Washing
ton, and in the sagacity and resources of
GRANT. The sequel has shown that this
confidence was'not misplaced. The reflec
tion ought to be a' ratifying one, but we
cannot regard it RS unqualifiedly auspi
cious. There' was a time of doubt and
gloom, when we had too little faith - in the
power of .the -Government.; now, it is to
be feared, we have too much for our own
welfare. It is almost time we had some
well-organized militia system for the pro
- tection of our homes and the develop
ment of our real military effectiveness. I
is disgraceful that wOmust post to Wash
ington for assistance every time a few hun
drod guerillas dash across our southern bor
der. Until our militia enactments are re
duced to a systematic shape, and enforced,
we must 'expect to remain in a state of
perfect helplessness. If legislation is
needed, surely legislation is cheap enough.
Comparatively harmless as previous rebel
raids have proven, we cannot afford.toe
spise these audacious enterprises. :l.fin the
future we be not prepared to meet thCm,
we may someday ha7ie bitter cause to rue
our negligenec•und lack of public spirit.
GOLD is FALLtrio ! Provisions arc fall
ing ; The speculators are in misery. They
have ruled the' country long enough, and
their time has come. Many a scamp who
has been making money out of the necessi
ties of the Government—pork-gamblers,
gold-gamblers; whisky-gamblers, gamblers
in copper and oil—will see in this crash a
just and terriblesetrlbution. This is what
the Tribune says, and we endorse it :
" Rejoice with Üb, fellow-eltlxens,tha.t the bloated,
hollow fabric of speculation and exorbitant prices,
conjurial up by the joint efforts of avarice and trea
son, plainly tatters to, its fall ! The premium on
gold took a heasj lee larch yesterday, and the prices
of pork, flour, and moat other neeessarlet of life,
tumbled with It. There never was a tolerable rea
son, a plausible excuse fur carrying gold above 13e,
or pork above *25, or flour at wholesale above $8
per barrel, and other staples In proportion. MI
beyond these rates was a gigantic, bubble, blown by
treason and rapacity, levered by cowardice. Had
our great banks and leading bunkers chosen to teed
the market with gold. even at the rate of one mil
lion per week, for the lust too or twelve weeks, the
above prices need not have been exceeded. With
ten millions deducted from their gold and twenty
millions added thereby to their greenbacks, the
banks would 'have stood stronger than they de to
day, and been bettor able to resume specie pay
ments whenever the waste of war shall be arrested."
Tmr, following is the text of the order of
one of Governor SEYMOUR'S militia briga
diers. With• a man of this kind in com
mand of the State force, we may under
stand what the Copperheads mean by_
" arming the militia :"
In addition to the dangers of Invasion from with
out, and et implant' discontents at home, we have
been warned by recent events of the still grlaler
danger of arbitrary encroachments upon our liber
ties as citly.ths. The laws of New York have al
ready been deliberately sot at defiance' Mon have
been Incarceintim without warrant of law; their
property seized ; the freedom or the press has been
unlawlully restrained by the armed nand, and the
dearest and most sacred of those eivil rights .which
our Revolutionary lathers won for us through Suf
fering and blood, have been wantonly violated.
We must Ix prepared for all emergeuclos white

may have suffered to be exercised In the hope of the
restoration of the Union,Must not be perutitted to

4 6 The Queen has Done it AU:,
Fifty-five years ago, Jouri and LEIGIT
HUNT, respectively publisher and editor of
the Examiner, a London paper of great abil
ity and boldness, were prosecuted, tried,
convicted, imprisoned, and fined, for the
heavy offence of having described the Prince
of Wales, (afterward, the fourth and fattest
GEORGE,) as "an Adonis of fifty." The
stout gentleman represented "the Majesty
of England," during his father's insanity,
and it was sedition to laugh at him. So
found the Htrwrs, each of whom had to
pay a fine of $2,500 and suffer two years'
imprisonment. Half a century ago, Royal
ty was an edged tool to play with, in Eng
land—es this case of the HuNTs proved.
British Judges may have accepted the old
proverb that "a cat may look at a King,"
but they held that a newspaper -man must
not jest upon the pinguidity of Princes.
Ten years later, however, a elialig ‘ e took
place. CAROLINE of Brunswick,•the..iiiitOr
tunae . and ill-treated wife of " the Adonit
of fifty," was placed upon her trial, in the
House of Lords, upon the heaviest charge
that could be made against any wedded wo
man, be she Queen or queen, and the news
papers were not checked when they slan
dered or ridiculed her. This was a change
indicating that Royalty was fallen to a dis
count in what used to be called "Merry
England." A Queen was libelled, ridi
culed, abused, and the law did not take any
notice. •
Years rbited on. GEonon the -Fourth
had passed away, " unwept, unhonored,
and unsung." Ilis brother Wr - LmAsr, who
had visited: New York, when a midship
man, towards the close of Our great Revo
lutionary contest, succeeded to the crown,
and made himself very popular, for a riffle,
by placing himself at. the head of the na
tional movement for Parliamentary Re
form. Ere that measure was completed
he had changed his mind. His wife, a
Tory of the Tories,- influenced him, with
alarms of revolution, and he became very
anxious to part with his Liberal Ministry.
At last, towards the close of 1834,.he dis
missed his Ministry, of which Lord MEL
non= was head, and placed himself and
the country in the hands of 1 1 7"EutnoroN,
PEEL, and LYNDHURST. The Times, on
the 15th of November, 1834, made a brief
but. emphatic announcement, generally be
lieved to have been written by Lord Chan
cellor BnononAm, that " the King had dis
missed the Ministry, and that the Queen
had done it all." - There was no doubt
as ,to the fact. The Ministry had been
dismissed, suddenly and sharply, and it
was ,Queen ADELAIDE'S counsel that had
it clone. How the Tories raved against
the newspaper's plain assertion ! How the
King threatened and blustered How the
Liberals chuckled ! How the millions hinted
the petticoat influence which had expelled
theist friends ! How the Times defied all
legal interference—these are matters of
history. The King's wife had been scorn
fully held up to popular contempt and
hatred, but nothing was done. A few
months later, indeed, when the first Peel
Cabinet was broken, the Melbourne Minis
try were replaced—all but one ; all but
BROUGHAM, who had told the people, "The
Queen has done it all." Against him the
royal fiat had passed—whoever else went
back into office, the paragraphist in the
Times was to be forever excluded—a politi
cal Peri, shut out from the Paradise of
place.
Years rolled on, and VICTORIA sat on the
British throne. Hitherto she has been
well treated by the press. The only oc
casions on which she was subjected to per
sonal animadversion were because she too
easily credited scandalous rumors against
Lady FLORA HASTINGS ; because she suf
fered herself to lie misled, in 1830, by the
Camarilla which her Ministers - had Placed
around her, and because, in later years,
she had 'permitted her husband to adVise
her upon affairs of State. However, these
- were but passing clouds. Now a tornado
is threatened, and Queen VICTORIA'S in- -
terf&ence with public matters has, ere this,
been made the subject of a party discussion
in the House of Commons.
It may be said, " The Queen can do no
* Wrong.", This is a constitutional dictum
generally accepted in' England, but it only
means that the Queen can do nothing, as
Queen, but by her alliViters, who, and not
herself; are responsible. Queen VICTORIA
reigns, but does notrule. She cannot, per
sonally, appoint any one to the smallest
clerkship in any public. department. She
has no'power. She is part of the State pa
geantry—and a costly part,. too.
The* British policy laid down by PAL
3iERSTON and RUSSELL, after the Confer ;
efee-a terrible.failure—was ended, is that
war-with Germany must be avoided. Vic-
TontA's predilections for Germany are so
well known over Eurive that the news
papers in most countries declare "the idea
is ;prevalent that Queen VICTORIA would
abdicate Sooner than consent to a war with
Germany." • The British press goes beyond
this. The Banner of Ulster, publishedliC
the north of Ireland, thus states the case :
Now the Queen has never disguised her German
predilections. She has gone out of the way to mut- .
test them, even whili her ministers were denouncing.
German aggressions as "outrageous," "infamous;"
and "iniquitous." Her brother-In-law, the Duke
of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, whose mighty dominions
embrace a population as large as the borough
of Belfast, has acted as fugleman to German
despotism, against tho constitutional monarchy
of free, enlightened, Protestant Denmark. It was
early whispered throughout Germany that in this
disreputable. course ire hcid the Queen's sympathy
and good wishes; and as this idea became prove
lent, so did German pretensions advance in inso
lence, and in a supercilious contempt 'of all re
straints of public law and International rights.
This idea was further encuuraged and fostered by
the ostentatious alacrity with which Baron Von
Beast, when he arrived in London accredited to
the Conierence, was invited to visit the Queen at
Osborne. This baron is the president minister
of Saxony, and, like most German ministers, tho
roughly unprincipled and *unscrupulous. Ho has
distinguished himself by the vehemence of his hos
tility to Denmark, and the tierce recklessness with
which he denounced the London treaty of 1852, to
which, as minister of Saxony, ho had pledged his
sovereign's faith. Finding in him a 'most fitting
tool, the Federal Diet - selected him as its represents.-
live at. the Conference ; and scarcely had he arrived
in London when he was summated to participate In
the - German Councils at Osborne, while to make
this honor the more marked, no other minister was
invited. Even diplomatic etiquette was broken through,
ova Von !trust was received without being introduced
by Lord Russell, as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The German papers gladly trumpeted this sig
nal mark of sympathy with German policy. Then
Prince Alfred was ordered to visit Berlin, where
he was decorated by the King of ?merle. with the
Order of the Black Eagle. This was noticed even
In the Times as a "questionable honor." But a
low du ys slier, one of those rare occasions ()Nimrod
wiien the queen now condescends to appear la pub
lic. She had a select •reception at Buckingham
Palace; and to show how much value such* "ques
tionable honors" are. silo wore conspicuously the
Prussian Order of Louisa, which by its institution
is strictly confined to Prussians by birth or natural
ization. This display became the more remarkable
act] signiticatt from the fact that Court etiquette
prohibits the wearing of any foreign "Order by the
Severeign;uniess In compliment to some foreign
Prince who may be present.
In this way the Queen's unfortunate German pre
dilections were manifested, even while the kingdom
was tilled with indignation at the savage ferocity
will, which Prussia conducted the war against Den
mark. •
This is severe, and would have been prose
cuted as sedition half a century ago. But
it is true, • and its bold utterance shows
how the popularity of Queen VICTORIA
has declined. We neetliot here refer to
the belief that the Quern's mind has been
warped since her husband's death. • •
Mr. DISRAELI'S motion, in the Commons,
nominally censures the Ministry. It is to
" express: to her Majesty the great regret
of the House that while the course pursued
by her Majesty's Government , has failed to
maintain their avowed policy of upholding
the integrity and independence of Den
mark, it has lowered the just influence of
this country in the councils of Europe, and
thereby diminished the securities of peace."
In reality, this is a vote of censure on
Queen VICTORIA herself, for the ministerial
policy is believed to have been dictated by
her. If the vote be carried, the British
Monarchy will receive the heaviest - blow
given•to it since the deposition of JASIES
ETIIART in 1688. Queen VicToutx may ac
cept the lesson. If she persist, she may
find herself, ere long, a pensioned exile in
her beloved. Germany.
If lizton s litirr 'were now alive, how
forcibly would he feel the difference be

fine and • imprisonment,' and the saucy

LXTTKR FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WASUINGTON, July 13, 1864
After three days of suspense and block
tide,
a reasonable sense of safety Kerns to
have•dispelled the uneasiness felt so gene
rally in this community since Mont*
morning. Having reached Washington by
the train which left New York on Sunday
'evening, the last that has arrived since that
period, I may be able to write understand
ingly of the extraordinary situation of affairs
at the Federal capital. That the events
which have partially surrounded Washing
ton with a strong rebel army, rind practi
cally blockaded us, cutting us off in fact
from all communication by land with Bal
timore and Philadelphia—that these ( events
were unexpected in the highest military
quarters, and were therefore almost unpre
pared for, is only too true. As I have said,
there is now a reasonable sense of safety,
put therconay be impending danger. If
*O t eed the rebef force is as large as it is
clAtiliis.4d-to be,
two facts will stand to the

ments
and.:theNeccess with which these
rnovenientslittlie been hidden from the Go
venal-1611T The march from Richmond into
Maryland; and to within a few miles of
Washington, was undoubtedly a danger
ous achievement. The rebels seem to have
resolved, if necessary, to abandon Rich
mond, and to combine all their energies be
a desperate assault upon Washington. They
know, as we know, that Washington is
more valuable to our side than fifty Rich
morls.. Never before was thc 'former so
worth saving as now ; and never, per con
sequence, would its possession have been
of So much moral and military iniportanee
to the enemies of the Republic. But the
available resources for . its defence are
enormous ; and the manner in which they
are developed and organized is only a new
proof of the wealth, the power, andalie
military accumulations at the Federal' caa: , "
tal. Apart from the ample fortifications
all around us, and the' heavy columns
thrown into them in a few hours, there is
an army here in the various Departments.
These are not trained soldiers, it is true;
but they 'could be very effective iu the
forts, or in the streets, in case of au attack
from a formidable force. They are. sonie
, what accustomed to the duty to which they
are now called, not alone because it is
reasonable to say that they have been ex
pecting this call; but because they have
been engaged ill the navy yard, at the
arsenal t and in the quartermaster and.com
missary departments, and have thus been
in constant contact with the efforts of
the Gdvernment to • crush the rebel
lion. There is, besides, another ele
ment that 111114" be sternly relied on, not
withstanding the presence of so many sym
pathizers with treason—the 'property hold
ers.. These men do not so envy the condi
tion of such cities as Richmond and
Charleston as to be ready to surrender
Washington to the desperate and merci
less rule of the despoiler of the South
ern people. • They know what the
future of Washington would be if
• it could be taken. They know that once
taken, it would be taken back at whatever
cost. But they know more than this : that
• the rebels would have.no time to discrimi
nate between supposed friends and open
foes, and would strike with a heavy and a
savage hand. Even if Lee's whole
column should be detached. from Rich
mond, leaving iu General Grant's cus
tody the shell without the ,
kernel, -and
be hurled against Washington, we should
hold our ground. $o much for our own
situation. But what of the adverse slice ?
Giving the rebels all tfie prestige they have
iron in this last demonstration, the whole
invasion only assumes the dimensions of a
reckless venture to make a last stand.
They are far away from their supplies.
It may be said that they can live upon the
country they ravage ; but this can only be
temporary. The rebels have learned long
ago that • however the Union soldiers may
sometimes (to the shame of those who are
guilty) destroy and desolate, yet that it is
the Union Government :that repairs and
revenges such Wrongs . ; and, as in the
case of Maryland, save- even those'
who, in their blind zeal, welcomed rebel
spoilers to their estates: Besides, without
attempting to disclose what is now in
tended to press back and put down this in
vasion, we cannot forget that unless it has
speedy success it must haVe speedy
ruin, and that its success will only be
the beginning of a new ruin. But
these thotights have doubtless been at
work in other minds, and, though we
have a sort of sad satisfaotion in re-
Viewing them, . they are entitled to a
'certain importance, . in rating the cost
and chances of this new and menacing
emergency. I say mensing emergency,
and 1 count the words as I write them. :For •
if we are not able to meet all these recur
ring perils with a certain moral firmness,
we are on the' eve of a terrible humilia,
tion. And they who have it not are half
consenting to a nation's downfall. Such
citizens habitually dwell on the cata
logue of death and debt, • written in
bloody characters in the last three years,
• and count our disasters and vexations
with a grim fanaticism, as men say their
prayers and tell their beads on the way to
the scafibld. The rosary of such despond
cuts fear, too often a source of new
sorrows. T4cs , linger over
.the calamities
of war, on the horrors of high prices and
heavy debts, and all the kindred evils and
accidents of the .times, including military
failures and civic incapacity, as if they
only desired to make themselves more nerd
vous, timid, and despairing. Now, admit
ting all they say and gloom over, let us ask
such citizens what they propose to do
They must choose between a resolution to
Support the Government and a resolution
to recognize the rebellion. I take it that
there will be little hesitation among the
people generally in makipg their election.
We have only to reflect a moment to find
which is the right and the only side. But
to assume it, freely and promptly, we must
agree to bear all our burdens in the same
spirit. We cannot be good patriots if we
bewail all the hard necessities of the war,
and coniume.• our ,limirs in angry coin
plaints and 'dismal forebodings: There is
such a deep and fathomless profound of
humiliation and wosuch a future of
wretchedness and inferiority in the bare
idea of our consent to disunion, that the
sharp afflictions and results of the war
become in comparison so' many blessings,
because so many preparations for the mighty
task of saving the inestimable boon of Per 7
sonal Liberty and a stable government.
Every man has . his share of labor allotted
to him in the course of these events,
and thousands heretofore exempt will
soon be, indeed, they are now, I called
upon ,
to assist in the great duty. If, brany,
mischance,. the rebel foe can gain admis
sion here, •fhey will soon convince us of
the difference between submitting to our
own. temporary grievances and privations,
and yielding to such masters as they are.
No doubt
. the property of every leading
loyal man, if not his life, is even now
marked out for sacrifice. • The fate that

Maryland, on the easy philosophy of " re

Republic. How necessary, then, fortvery
body not so near the scat of constant .
danger to . bear and forbear ! Our parent,"
child, or friend is always dearest to us
when he is in peril. We may love him
when he is with us, and when he is safe,.
but our whole soul is awake with solicitude

that many of those who charge these
rates have large stocks on hand, pur
chased months ago, and that these stocks
arc now to be used ae'a new means of

This was (bine in 1861 in the blockade of

Let it be repeated now, and let vengeance
fall swift and surd on all who stand in
the way of humanity and patriotism. I
am so assured of the patriotisin of
our own people, here and elSeivhere,
that these examples of personal rapacity
and of national endurance cannot fail-tO:be
useful in more ',hail one respect. They
will awaken a new deterMination in the

2 P. 31.---WErnTEsDAv.—As I write we
have news from. offer front, which looks
as if the rebels were making a new
diversion. They must have been se
verely repulsed last night. The firing
could be heard distinctly in the . city. Our
loss is considerable, but the work was done
with effective ettllantry, the Gth Corps lead
ing the way, or bearing the brunt. These
veterans stand fire like iron men. It is now
supposed that we are to be attacked in force
at other points, as the rebels are marching
from the Blair Farm to the eastern, and, if
possible, the southern side of the Capital.
We are ready for them at whatever point
they assail us. And should this prove to
be so, the invasion will be a greater catas
trophe for them than when they twice
sought to invade Pennsylvania. Another
opinion is that they are all now across•
the Potomac, as if to complete
this parallel. We, ought to have in
our front at least eighty thousand men
of all arms, not enough of which is, how
ever., cavalry. The damage done our
railroads by the late rebel movements, was
by these horsemen. The great horse
brigades are directly under Grant, whose

thousand men, are encamped near Mount Clare
depot, about a mile or so from the city. Towards
last evening, we visited the camp, and found the
men just recovering trom the terrible tight against
odds at the Monocacy. The division was at first
reported unfit for duty, but the men are as anxious
as possible to have anything like a chance with
their old enemy. Ricketts' eamp,is a camp of
gypsies. The men are veterans dyed and
grained. Frying hot as this weather has been,
they,have stood worse than double-heat; and it
is astounaing and' amusing to noteth° tone of
ptdiosopideal ingenuity With which' they cheer
themselves. They make great fun of the militia re
giments in the late fight, but stilt - do them a great

Interesting particulars of Major Harry Gilmore's

baggage was very frequently robbed, and Mrs. Col.

and apparel, but very heroically refused to take
them back from the chivalrous thief, through whose
indulgence they were taken. The malls were opened
and scattered in a trice, and a number of letters on
love and business were among the relics picked up
by our refugee and his friend. Some of the military
letters captuted are supposed to, have given the
rebels all heeded in lormo tin of our strength and
weakness that was not otherwise imparted by Seces
sionists, especially by the gallant . demoiselles
who called Major Gilmore “Uousin harry," and
pointed out General Franklin to him.
Trig I:ASTRIOT HARMER
Ishmael Day, a farmer of Harford county, will be
remembered In Maryland's war history. One of the
raiders attempted to haul down -the flag over his
gale, and the angry old man—a hero of 70 years—
shot him on the spot. Ho is a•blulf, hearty old man,
a;klgoted Bag worshipper, and there can be no
doubt, freuLhea ring his story, that he was greatly
outraged when the rebels attempted to tear down
his colors. Fortunately, Mr. Day made •his escape
from Imminent danger of being murdered, and the
rebel be shot is now in a Union hospital.
THE SPIRIT OF THE COLORED TROOPS
Bands of colored men came in through the after
noon fron•relterlng their comrades at work in the
entrenchments. One of them passed up Baltimore
street, last 'evening:, singing with hoarse energy,
and with indescribable spirit, " The Battle Cry of
Freedom." The voice's were all strong, the choruses
steady and loud, and nothing could be better In its
way than the emphasis with which they sang
"Down with the traitor, up with the Stars," and
"We'll fight with the colored as well as with the
white." They came in with pickaxe and spade laid
.across their shoulders, singing gloriously, and
though the hour was late ' many applauded them
from the windows. If any Secessionist heard them
he must have felt bitterly.
Our Pennsylvania regiment, the 43d, is doing
well, near Druid Dill. They passed through the

Yesterday quite a number of them wore singing the
old Atilt:an Methodist hymns, full of potential effect
and resounding religion. -The rest 01 them were as

more privilege than Burnside's veterans. The ser
geants and corporals are men quite Intelligent, and
bound to make a good account for themselves and

FO much as the crowds of affectionate women kin

ing Sherman bad effected a lodgment south of the
river ; burned the railroad and turnpike bridges, to
gether with three pontoons.
Their works were the strongest found on the
whole line from Dalton, and wore protected by
abattis, so that a direct assault would hare been an
impossibility. The stream is at present shallow,
and the bottom rocky ; but no men could have ford
ed it, and charged up the embankments, to their
works.
The entrenchments extended along the river
bank, for live miles, and were located in a position
to sweep the surrounding country. Johnston had
evidently been months in preparing them.
After the flank. movement commenced, the rebel
general offered no resistance, but felfback ; wo pur
sued to the fortifications around Atlanta, which
were but eight miles distant. We know of no other

Johnston is thus "drawing Sherman on." When

The singular craftiness of our resident Copper
head leaders is never more strikingly evinced than
during Limes of great publio excitement. If the
fever be positive and aggressive, these slimy gentle
men, these pacific worms of the dust, remain quiet
and unobtrUsive. If, on the other hand, men are
despondent and anxious, the Uriah Ileopites ima
gine themselves each a (Moro Inveighing against
the Catiline of the nineteenth century, who in Cop
persition circles is known us the " Imbecile," and, in
the genuine Copperhead, as the "Buffoon." When
ever the martigi spirit is abroad they remain silent.
None but the strictly initiated are enabled to
trace the doings or these men. The daily results of
their principles and their hullgostions appear in
their Copperhead organs, but their genuine ovokings
aro veiled. At times, we hoar that private meet
ings have been held—meetings to which the public
is not invitedj and if the tone of these exoteric de
bates may be jiadged from those which aro exoteric,
the poor old ancients are dragged in nolens volens,
Themistocles to exemplify what Mr. Lincoln is not,
and Pericles to exemplify what young Mr. Mc-
Clellan is. Strangely enough, hotels seem to be
their headquarters. First at Delmonico's, then at
the Astor, then at the Fifth-avenue; suggestive
trysting spots for a clique which desires to make of
the country a piecemeal.
A meeting of the "Peace Association" was or
dered for Wednesday evening last. For some reason
or other it was not hold. The times, perhaps, were
Inauspicious. There were moments when oven
Heop himself found it inexpedient to be "a very
humble man."
Upon that evening, however, a branch of the
clique known as the Eighteenth•ward McClellan
Club met for the purpose of electing a delegate to
the Central Committee. The members amused
themselves by repeating. the silly reports of the
President's sudden flight to this city. One of those
obsequious gentlemen understood that he had taken
refuge upon a gunboat. Much laughter, of course,
ensued. This was about all that the meeting ac
complished.

New York has its bathing season, as well as Now
port or Long Branch, although It Is not of most en
ticing Sort. However, on hot evenings, hot and
weary workingmen and boys make their way to the
docks which line either side of the city, and there
Indulge themselves to the best of their abilities.
This bathing season Is a fertile source of deaths.
The numbers who are drowned seem altogether lo
commensurate with the risks. Surrounded by
shipping, and within hail of all sorts of craft, It
would appear singular that lives should be lost as
they aro every summer. Still men do sink, and
boys, in diving, plunge headforemost upon sunken
logs, so that every now and then some poor body
floats Into the slips, or Is washed up upon the sandy
shores of the islands. If to these the numbers of
"found drowned" be added, we can form an esti
mate of the agency which our twin rivers exert in
relieving the city of a proportion of its population:
Where all the pitiful men and women who are
dragged out and buried come from it is impossible
to say. Doubtless, in many instances, the hand of
violence throttles and beats thorn in; and we know
that, with a• frequency only too great, the wretched
and weary come by night to the black docks, and
there, as though these great impure rivers were a
Pool of Siloam, strive to hide their sins therein.

The "Union State Committee assembled at the Ac

The entire expenditure for the whole work of the
Commission, East, South, and West, was, In May,
6162,398.11 ; June, V 252,275.81. TOW for two
months, 8525,174.64.
It should be considered that during a campaign,
characterized by the frequency of its change of bAse,
the relative cost of transportation is much increased.
The single item of charter of vessels, (owing to the
scarcity of medium-Sized craft., growing out of
claims forGovenimentservice,) necessarily becomes
of Itself a very large one.
. It may be noticed that the amount of supplies
contributed to the commission in kind, during, Juno,
was but ',bout one4hird the value of similar contri
butions in May. Hence the necessity of direct
money expenditure Iron, the treasury.
Owing to the pressing call for anti scorbaties, the
Commission have recently issued very largely of
vegetable food, as is shown by the following list of
supplies forwarded during June:
Canned tomatoes, 201,156 tbs. (over 103 tons);
canned fr01t,15,600 11.5.; canned jellies, 574 ris.; pick
led cucumbers, '36,213 gallons, (about 1,200 bola.);
pickled onions, 13,344 gallons ; pickled tomatoes,
4,719 gallons; carried cabbage, 1,100 gallons; saner
krout,lB,2lB gallons; fresh onions, 101.1 bbla.; pota
toes, 70 bbis.; dried apples, 242 bbls.; Other dried
fruit, 32 bbls.; lenions,3ol boxes; portable lemonade,
2,400 boxes ; oranges, 25 boxes.
This Ineflules the lot contributed on the 3d Instant,
whiCh reached the men in the trenches In time' for
their. Indepenuenee-day dinner. During the ten
da3s of July, now past, the issues of vegetables have
been proportionately much larger than hitherto.
Three steamers and a barge have already sailed for
the army with an aggregate cargo of over 5,000 bar
rels of vegetables and delicacies.
Every precaution has been taken by the eOmmitt
sion to - Ins.ure an accurate, comprehensive, and im
partial distribution or their precious contributions CO
the dietary of the army.
General Grant has always highly approved the
work, and has given it his aid, ordering additional
transportation to enable the commission trains to go
out at once to the front, and as near the. trenches as
possible. The plan of distribution has been to send
the wagons either to corps or division commanders,
in charge of an adequate number of the relief
agents of the commission. The commander of each
respective corps or division having detailed an
officer from his staff to attend, sends the wagons to
the rear of their trenches, and. their contents are
given to the men, either in the works, or as they
return after dark to the camps of the reserves.
The enthusiasm is always 'great when it be
comes known that such abundant supplies of acid
fruits and vegetables arc to bo distributed in the
trenches.
it Is difficult for the inexperienced reader to form
a sufficiently profound appreciation of the value of
this anti.seorbutie fowl. It should be remembered
that the Army of the Potomac, having passed
through a campaign of the severest character,
having depended mainly for fowl upon the fighting
ration of pork, hard bread, and coffee, arrived be
fore Petersburg in n state of great exhaustion.
Every consideration of humanity, patriotism, and
military economy made it the dnt.y of the ILA:omis
sion to give at once such aid and comfort as their
experience and means rendered possible. They
knew that the sickness and mortality rates would
inevitably increase unless the exhausted bodies of
the soldiers could be brought rapidly under the in
fluence of well-selected anti-scorhutics. They,
therefore, sent to the army a sufficient quantity
and variety to give every man is daily ration of
fresh food for at least ten days. The above Lists will
show the principal articles distributed ; the quanti
ties stater.' do not, however, show the entire issues
to date, as all the returns are not yet in. A com
plete report of this work will be presented in due
tinio to We public, whose almoner the llommiS
sion is.

(Duke of Buckingham), on one occasion had twea

valued at four-score thousand pounds, besides a
great feather stuck all over with diamonds, as were
also his sword, girdle, hat, and spurs." George
