We presume that •thc acneral stun of
losses is here given with tolerable accuracy,
and it certainly is a sum worth- the serious
'consideration of all Who have an idea that
property is worth defending, independent
of the duty of helping the Government,
and maintaining the honor of community
and State. - Mail we have lost beside
property cannot be computed with as much
certainty. But we have undoubtedly lost
considerable credit and much opportunity.
Again the rebels have advanced toward
the Potomac, but this time not without
Sonic opposition, just enough, if we may
credit the reports, to give a shock to dis
aster. General HUNTER'S forces have been
severely shattered or routed ; a number of
conspicuous officers are reported killed ;
General AYERILL has•: been driven from
Martinsburg to Williamsport, and we have
a very credible report, predicated on the
foregoing, that a port 0/ EARLY'S forces
are again crossing into Maryland. General
IrmitrEat'a forces have concentrated in the
neighborhood of lJarper's Ferry, but we
cannot tell how soon, in view of the disas
ter which has already occurred, this gene
ral may be forced to abandon Virginia.
What, in this case, will prevent the tide of
invasion from once more overflowing our
border ?
What the strength of the rebels may be
in this new movement We have no means
of judging. It is not safe to suspect that
their force is comparatively small, and has
simply turned upon General EinztTEß in
revenge for his recent pursuit of their
army, and while he lacks the active co-ope
ration of the Gth Corps. We should rather
take it for granted that the force which so
boldly menaces us is quite large enough to
inflict an infinite amount of damage, un
less it is met with something like equal
spirit. We have received abundant warn
ing, and should the rebels make, another raid
in full earnest, it will not be because their ap
proach was altegether unexpected. Clearly
the State and. the National Government
have a continued duty to be especially tic
tive in inspiring military affairs upon the
border with all needful vigor. We know
that formerly both Was.hingtan and BMti.
more were very' seriously threatened. Let
us not scruple, to express our apprehensions
now, if there is a grain of danger. With
out earnestness upon our part, the rebels
may compel GRANT to relinquish his hold
upon Petersburg, and come at least one
step nearer to taking Washington. Our
authorities should be watchful and ready.
Secre6ry Fessendeies ,Appeal.
The appeal which Secretary FESSELCDEIf
makes to the country deserves attention in
itself, apart from its character as a claim
upon the people for the cause and the
Government they are bound iu honor and
fealty to support. It is a thoroughly relia- .
ble and candid exposition of the present
state and demands of the National Treasury.
No one will question or misunderstand it,
for it is as simple and as logical as any busi
ness man could desire it to be made, and it
will go far to obtain the general confidence
of the people outside of the financial circles.
In contrasting what the people can do, and
easily do, with what must unavoidably.
happen should they fail to give to the Go
vernment their renewed and substantial
faith, Mr. FESSENDEN'S words are signifi
cant:
"As yet, we have asked no foreign aid. Claim and
Self-reliant, our own means, thus tar, hare proved
adequate to our wants. They are yet ample to meet
those of the present and future. It still remains for
a patriotic people to furnish the needful supply.
The bravo men who are lighting our battles by land
and sea must be fed and clothed, munitions of war
of all kinds must be furnished, or t he war must end
in defeat and disgrace. This is not the time for any
lover of his country to inquire as to the state of the
money market, or to ask whether ho can so invest
his surplus capital as to yield Him a larger return:
No return and no profit can be desirable if followed
by national dissolution or national disgrace. Pre-
sent profit thus acquired is but the precursor of,
fhture and speedy destruction. No investment can
be so surely profitable as that which tends to Insure
the national existence."
Our people do not need to ask foreign
aid. Such a thought is repugnant to the
American and republidan idea, and humi
liating to the, popular pride—but what, if
our carelessness of the future should lead
us to the point of entering the foreign mar
ket as a rival to the cotton financiers of the
South ? We cannot afford to compromise
the honor of the nation either with foreign
Powers or the rebellion. Is there dan
ger that we shall ? We think not. Look
ing to the full triumph of our arms under
GRANT and SIIERMAN, we should be more
than ever able and willing to sustain the
cause to which we are all pledged. But let
us measure our duty by the line of danger.
The Secretary of the Treasury gives no
unreal assurance to the country when he
says : "I am encouraged in the belief that
by the recent legislation of Congress our
finances may soon be placed upon a sounder
and more stable footing." Having just left
Congress, where he was so hardworking a
mentber of the Committee of .Finance, to
take charge of the Treasury Department,
his understanding of the financial relations
of the Government is now more complete
and practical than that of any other man
in the country. His remarks upon taxation,
and the legislation of Congress in relation
thereto, deserve, therefore, a confidence
more implicit than usual. He says :
' , I am encouraged in the belief that by the recent
legislation of Congress our finances may soon be
placed upon a sounder and more stable footing. The
present deranged condition of the currency is im
putable, in a great degree, to disturbances arising
from the withdrawal of necessary cheeks, often in
evitable in time of war, when the exponditures must
largely exCeed any possible supply of coin. The
opportunities thus presented to acquire sudden
wealth have led to vieltus speculation, a conse
quent increase of prices, and violent fluctuation.
The remedy is to be found only In controlling the
necessity which begets the evil. Hitherto, we have
felt the need of more extensive and vigorous taxa.
tion. Severe comment has been made upon what
seemed to many an undue timidity and tardiness
of action on the part of Congress in this regard. I
deem It but just to say that very great misapprehen
sion existed, and perhaps still exists : up mthis point.
Legislators, like all others, have much to learn in a
now condition of affairs. An entirely new system
Was to be devised, and that system must necessarily
be the growth of time and experience. It is not
strange that the first efforts should have proved fin
perfeot and inadequate. To lay heavy bunions on a
great "rid patriotic people, In such a manner as to be
equal, and so sate occasion the least amount ofsulfer
nig or annoyance, requires time and caution, and
vast labor, and with all these experience Is needful
to test the value of the system and correct its errors.
Such has been the work that Uongress was called
upon to perform. I am happy to say that daily re
sults are proving the Internal Revenue act to ex
ceed 10 °Moloney the most sanguine expectations of
its authors. lu the month of Juno, 1853, It yielded
about four and a half millions of dollars, while the
corresponding mouth of this year returned about
fifteen millions under the same law. Under the now
law which went into operation on the first day of
the present month,tho rresßury frequently received
one mlilleif in a day. As time and experience ena
%ble the offarers "employed in collecting the revenue
to enforce the strength of the provisions or the new
law, 1 trust that a million per day will be found the
- rule, and not the exception. Still, much space is
undoubtedly bet for improvement in the law and in
its administration. As a greater amount of ne
cessary information 18 acquired, the proper sources
of revenue, and the most effective moans of obtain
ing It, aro best developed to the execution of the ex
isting late; and I have caused measures to be initi
ated which will, It la believed, enable Congress so to
Improve and enlarge the system ns, when taken in
connection with the revenue from customs and
other sources, to afford an ample and secure basis
for the national credit.),
This statement is full of encouragement,
and affords us assurance that in very rea
sonable time, if the new loans asked by the
e • • , rnment arc given with the alacrity
corfulness of times past, the finan
ce. • he nation will regain their sound
"iiess and vigor. That the tax bill promises
to operate so prosperously, is cause for sin-
Ocre congratulation, and an additional iu-
centive to sustain the Government. As
one of the most conscientious, intelligent,
and practical legislators and thinkers which
the country has had to aid it during its cri
sis, Mr. FESSE,NDEN'S opinions, will, we
think, appeal directly to the sense and con
fidence of the country.
fir„ list Hatred of America.
The London nines makes the recent an
niversary of the Fourth of July the occa
sion for a haughty mid scornful criticism
upon America. Indeed, the general touc
of the English press is full of satisfaction
and glee over the misfortunes that have
befallen our Reptiblic. We find our unfor•-'
tunate country quoted again and - again in
evidence of the utter depravity of repub
lican institutions, the beaidy and strength
of an .aristocracy,' and the necessity for
kings and thrones and crown-diamonds.
The stern simplicity of a - dernocracy is 'not
to be compared to the pompous, discipline
of royalty; - and if we would be good and
great and truly a government, we; must go
back to 'the moss and stones of the great
- 13ritish Empire. The writer in the Times
makes this anti-. American reflection on the
many tyrannies of the North-: - "The people
of good sense and taste iu the North Must
begin to think by this. time 'that the World
haS heard enough about the stamp net and
the tea tax, the threatened Legislatures, -
the imprisoned citt7.ens,Lord NORTH, the
Ilessians, the Indian allies, , the devastated'
country, the occupied - and.Oimressed towns,
and the various-individual outrages Which,
with more or leSs trnth, are laid to the
:chargeofthe British." After this sum
'ming up we have this . favorite invective :
With the history of the - last three years
before him, can any 'Northern orator drag
up again these tyrannies of the past, and
not that, with a changed name, the
fable is being told of him Self." After this
we arc reminded of the horrors of our war,
and find that, • for cruelty and crime and a
disregard of the simplest humanities of life,:

All this writing - is for another purpose
than the mere expression of newspaper
sentiment... Those who hate America will
find these articles of The Times sweet pa bu
luni. A newspaper of great influence and
dignity may do much towards fostering
the very sentiment of hatred and enmity
it pretends to deprecate. In this contest
our great English contemporary does not
act the part of an 'impartial journalist, but
that of a partisan. Its columns are open
to the emissaries and stipendiaries of trea
son, but no Northern man can gain a hear
ing, or if lie is heard his arguments are
treated with contempt and scorn. Mr.
SPENCE, the paid agent - of Mr. DAVis at
Liverpool, receives in its columns the at
tention given to one of the Royal Family,
while Mr. MOTLEY, in his argument for the
North, is hidden away and taunted. The
truth is, English sentiment is against this
country, and we might as well make-up
em minds to fight without it The dis
covery is not of a nature to occasion us a
great deal of surprise or embarrassment.
Unlike the rebels, we occupy no dubious
- position before the world ; and it is scarcely
essential to our peace of mind that we
should be graciously reminded, from time to
time, of the favor we enjoy at foreign
courts. At the commencement of the War
it was gratifying to be assured that England
was to maintain a position of neutrality.
As the war 'progressed, it was annoying
to discover that Engiand did no such
thing.
Fortunately, it can make very little dif
ference to 1113 now, nationally, how . true or
how false England may choose to be to
her professions. The most her malignity
and perfidy have accomplished have been
the serious interruption of our commerce,.
thanks to her Alabamas and Floriclas,
and the undue prolongation of_the war,
thanks to herWhitworth and Blakeley guns
and her neutral blockade-runners The
first source of annoyance. is now in a pretty
fair way of removal, the. Alabama being
sunk, and the Florida well-nigh hunted
down ; and as for the other material aid
extended to our enemies, it has actually
availed them nothing towards the over
throw of this Government. In spike of all
the shot and shell which English cupidity
and jealousy have poured into tpLO armories_
of the South, this Rebellion stands before -
the world lO:ditrit hOpeless failure. Fur
thermore, while England by her duplicity
has accomplished nothing towards the
disruption of our Government, she has in
flicted irreparable injury upon the rebel-
Rous States, whose interest, after her own,
she most sought to foster. By encouraging
them, as far as possible, to persist in a
hopeless struggle, she is in a groat degree
responsible for its coutinuance. and for the
.consequent ruin it must inflict upon all. the
interests of the South, as long as it does
continue. Peace might have prevailed
throughout the length and breadth of the
land ere this, if England had even remained
as faithful to her pledge of neutrality as
France has done. The reflection is any
thing but pleasant, but we are consoled iu
its indulgence with the theory that "this
is a world of compensations," and with the
firm conviction that time will make the
matter all right.
Mr. DisrtAELT,.in one of his terrible Op
position harangues, threw the House of
CommonS into convulsions of laughter by
saying that the late Sir ROBERT PEEL had
watched the Whigs when they were bath
ing, had stolen their clothes, and had
attired himself in the garments, passing
them off 'as his own. His innuendo was
that the slippery Baronet, not having any
original plan of his own, on becoming
Premier, had appropriated those of his op
ponents whom he had displaced, and had
impudently claimed the merit of their ori
ginality. In like manner, the Emperor
NAroxxow has claimed and gained the
credit—such as it is—of being original in
his - project of converting republican Mexico
into a monarchy, with an European prince
on the throne. It turns but that the plan
was not original—that it "was conceived,
discussed, and even made public by Lours
Pump FE and his Minister, GIIIZOT, the
Doctrinaire, as far back as the year 'Sly, a
year before the said NAronEolv, then uni
versally considered an impudent and thick
headed Pretender, had managed to escape
from the fortress-prison of Ram, disguised
as a common workman, with a plank of
timber on his shoulder.
General Joni A. Dr, is about publishing
his speeches in the U. S. Senate, with other
addresses, and among them has turned up
a speech which he made; in Congress, in
1848, on the subject of Mexico. In this he
stated that " The right of intervention in
the affairs of this continent was formally
asserted in the French Chamber of Depu
ties, in the year 1845, by M. GUIZOT,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, as the organ
of the Government of France. lie regard
ed the great Powers on this continent as
divided into three groups, namely, Great
Britain, the United States, and the States
of Spanish origin ; and he declared that it
belonged to France 'to protect, by the
authority of her name, the independence of
States and the equilibrium of the great
political forces in America.' To this de
claration I have thought it not out of place,
in connection with the subject under dis
cussion; to call the attention of the Senate."
He further stated that, twelve months be
fore M. GUIZOT had thus claimed for France
the .right of interference in the affairs of
this continent, "a book on Oregon and
California was published in Paris by order
of the King of France,:nnder the auspices
of Marshal Souvr, President of the Coun
cil, and M. Guiz&r, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and written by M. DE MOFRAS,WhO
was attached to the French .Legation in
Mexico. The first part of the work is de
voted to Mexico, and certainly contains
some remarkable passages. He speaks of
the:establishment of an European monarchy
as a project which bad been suggested as
the only one calculated to put an end to the
divisions and annihilate the factions which
desolated that beautiful country." - The
project was to establish Mexico as a Mon
archy, over which should be placed a
Bourbon prince—either an Infanta of Spain,
Stolen—An Idea
a French prince, or an Austrian archduke—
and that this new monarchy should be sup
ported by France, Spain, and Austria, At
that time Lours PrirmyrE was scheming
the Spanish marriages for the aggrandise
ment of his faMily, and expected, no doubt,
to be able, if he wished, to have ono of his
sons placed on the throne of Mexico. Dis
alifrr visunt I The marriages, which were
to have so much exalted his family, led to
the Revolution of 1818, to his own abdica
tion, deposition, and somewhat shabby
flight to England, disguised as " Mr. John
Smith."
Spain was certainly. privy to the Mexi
can scheme, for it was stated, and shown,
in:the.Cortes, in 1816,-that $lOO,OOO of ex
traordinary outlay, but for purpose§:to be
readily imagined,' had been made by the
Spanish ninbassador in MexiCo.- Lours

and the' project dropped, until : Louts NA

inexplicable. What 'motive had he for
erecting n throne in Mexico, for the benefit
or an:A.uStrian prince ? Time- may resolVe

The Newspakr Cdnyentioni.
We are not aware what particular purpose
is sought to be accomplished lu the Con
vention of reporters that is to assemble this
afternoon. As we understand the call, it is
to elect delegates to a National Convention
to be held in Chicago. This might be done
in' an hour, and without any formality,
and, if there is any virtue or earnestness in
the movement, it will not end here. We
do not know that there' is such a spenial
sympathy between reporters of the East
and West that those from our city should
make long journeys to take part in the de
liberations of a Chicago Convention. It
strikes us that this is the very least of any
possible motive that could bring the re
porters together. What we may call the
" newspaper. profession" is assuming an
importance that is recognized by every
body but its own members. Men speak of
it iu England as The Fourth Estate, and
we may adapt the English phrase more
Absolutely here, for in this country it has
more power and majesty than has ever
been known in the Old World. Of the
various clas.ses who go to make up a com
plete newspaper staff none are more impor
tant than the reporters. They give the
journal its reliability and value. The
anxious pater families glances at the labors
of these gentlemen in the midst of his
muffins and coffee at breakfast, and if he
can find a long account of the fire whose
flames awoke him from his midnight slum
bers, or a graphic description of the rout of
the rebels, or CN'en some sad, sly - story of
domestic unhappiness, it will give him
more gratification than long columns of
stately leading articles. These reporters
are the " editors " for the million, and their
labors _are the commodities of the news
market. The increase of newspapers has
increased the number of reporters and
given their labors a new importance. In
large, establishments ten or twenty gen
tlemen are employed in this capacity,
and as the profession requires as high,
and, perhaps, a rarer degree of in
tellect than that required for success in
other vocations, it must become in time an
influential and important guild. We are
anxious that it should be thus, and it is
with an interest something more than pro
fessional that we regard this meeting of
the reporters. The time has passed when
the traditional newspaper man was the
only journalist known to the outside world
—when he was Mr. DICKENS' caricature,
with frayed cuffs and soiled linen. The
reporter is a necessary and useful member
of society, and there is no reason why the
members of the fraternity should not take
such steps as will benefit themselves and
their profession. We must say, at the
same time, there will be but little benefit
in going to Chicago,

LTITIORE, July '20.--The Baltimore American
contains the following;
The city was last night full of rumors of rebel
movements in the Shenandoah Valley, together
with vague accounts of disaster to the forces under
General Averill, which last week attacked and
defeated a portion of General Early's raiders near
Winchester.
Among the rumors was one of the death of Gene
mis Kelly and Averill, its well as OolouciMulligan.
The facts, so far as we have boon able to ascertain
them, are that General Averill, after his successful
encounter with Early's forces, pursued them to
the Mountain beyond Winchester, whore Early
made a stand, and, after heavy fighting , on Satur
day and Sunday, the rebels having been in the
meantime largely reinforced, General Averill was
compelled to fall back to _Harper's Ferry, bringing
with him the forces at Bunker Hill, and causing,
also, the evacuation of Martinsburg. The rebels
appear to have pursued him in his retreat, and yes
terday P. M. again occupied Martinsburg, where
they cut the telegraph, and commenced again tho
destruction of the.traek of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
Our forces, according to the best advices we could
obtain, are now concentrated at Harper's Ferry, un
der command of General Hunter, whilst the rubella
hold Martinsburg, and ruiner states them to be in
large force, but this can hardly be possible be
yond the strength of Early's and lireokinridge'S
form.
Their object in returning is doubtless to glee time
for the safety of their trains and plunder, and to se
cure the collection of• a portion of the crop in the
Shenandoah Salley.. That they may again come
into Maryland for more plunder is highly probable,
and especially if they find the way open to them, as
is generally the case In the military management Of
affairs along the border,
As to the extent of the disaster to our forces in the
fight beyond Winchester, we have no authentic in
torination, nor have we had any confirmation of the
rumors of the death of Generals Averill, Kelly,
and Col. Mulligan. It is not likely, however, that
all these officers are fallen, and we are inclined to
doubt the story. • .
We learn that orders were sent to remove the
army and medical stores from Frederick last night,-
as a matter of precaution, end to prepare to evacu
ate the city in case of the advance of the rebels un
checked in that direction.
That the official intelligence from the valley last
evening was not so favorable as could bo desired,
may be inferred fromi the fact that General Wal
lace convened the Loyal Leagues last night to
advise with them as to holding themselves In readi
ness In case their service may he required for the
defence of the city. These precautions are of
course advisable, and our citizens should be In
readiness at all times to meet the invaders and
prevent their repeating the outrages recently per
petrated In the vicinity of the city.
Despatches received here last slight merely an
nounced that General Averlll hail been compelled
to retire before a superior force to Harper's Ferry,
but mentioned no serious disaster.
At an early hour yesterday afternoon despatches
were received from Sandy Hook and other points,
by the master of transportation, to the effect that
hostile movements had been resumed on the part of
the enemy, and that It would be hazardous to at
tempt to run cars through as usual.
The train which left Camden station yesterday
morning proceeded as far as Sandy Hook, when
those in charge, yielding to the suggestion of Gen.
Bunter, who was then at Harper's Ferry, returned.
The number of the passengers in the train was not
large.
The train which waste have left here at a quar
ter past nine o'clock last evening, of course, under
the circumstances, did not leave, and a considera
ble number of passengers bound for the West were
disappointed. The tonnage business of the road, la
the meantime, is suspended until bettor informa
tion is obtained as to the condition of the 'road west
of Harper' s Ferry.
The telegraph wires were cut west of itirpers -
Ferry, and it was reported that_the ran:es - of Oniok'
and Averill had retreated beyond the railroad, but
the officers, of the cooxpanyhave not- reeelyed
ndvices to that effect.
afternoonTustcrduy and evening the rumor pre
vailed that the rebels had returned in heavy force
in the vicinity of Martinsburg, bad met and routed
the Federal forces, and were damaging the rail
road, and a large number of persons congregated at
the Camden station and remained there until night.
The train that left here yesterday morning for the
West, and proceeded us far as Sandy Hook, re
turned about 7.30 last evening. All the cars were
crowded with passengers. Some 'of them reported
that a heavy fight had taken place between Har
per's Ferry and Winchester, and that Hunter had
been repulsed ; several pieces of artillery had been
captured, also a large number of men of two bri
gades. It is impossible to ascertain the truth or
affairs in that region, but there is no doubt that a
serious disaster has occurred to the forces of Gen.
Bunter.
The Baltimore Sun of yesterday contains the fol
lowing:
At an early hour yesterday morning rumor wes
rife that a battle had taken place between the
Union and rebel forces near Winchester, Va., and
that the Union forces had sustained a repulse).
Upon Inquiry at official quarters the following f • ,
were ascertained :
About eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, the
rebel forces under Gens. Brockinridge and Early at
tacked the Union forces under Gens. Crook , and
Averill and Col. Mulligan, at or near Winchester.
There was also a portion or Gen, Hunter's tomes in
the tight, but Gen. Hunter was not present, being
at Harper's Ferry. The battle lasted durin_g the
entire day, and when night closed in the Union
commanders, ascertaining that the rebels had re.
ceived largo reinforcements, retired towards Mar
tinsburg and Harper's Ferry. Yesterday morning
they retired from 11Iartinsburg to Harper's Ferry,
after which the ;ebels occupied Martinsburg.
Through the advice of General Hunter, William
Prescott Smith, Esq., superintendent of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, ordered the passenger
trains that bad left this city for the West, yesterday
morning, to return, and for the present no passenger
or freight trains will be run further titan Harper's
Ferry end Frederick. The trains from the West
will run only as far as Cumberland. This is done
merely as a precautionary measure until the actual
state of affairs and the number of the rebels and
their designs may be ascertained. The rumors that
passenger and freight trains hare been captured are
unfounded.
It was announced that Colonel. Mulligan (of Lex
ington, 810., fame), commanding a brigade in the
fight of Sunday, was killed. Ile was wounded and
seen to fall from his horse, and it was thought was
killed. He was an officer well known to' this coun
try, and his death will be deplored by many friends.
He has for the past year done much service in West
ern Virginia along the line of the. Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
It was stated that General Averill's forces sus
tained the heaviest loss, as the rebels massed alarge
force against them during the tight, and succeeded
in taking several guns from them, which, however,
it is reported, they succeeded in recapturing.
The actual forces of the enemy are not known,
but it another raid is contemplated into. Maryland,
the military authorities are prepared to give them
a warm reception.
Brikr. Gen. Tyler wee In the 'city yesterday eve
ning,si from the Belay house, slid !OS at once assign
ed to Important duties in the weeteell eoction of the
Middle Department.
The losses in the tight on Sunday are said to have
been quite sovote on both sides, but in the absence
or the official accounts from the General command
ing the engagement, all statomenta from unofficial
authorities are withheld. / -
The reports last evening that the rebels hid en
tered Maryland by Shepherdstown and Sharps
burg, and occupied Hagerstown, were not, oftleially
confirmed, and not believed in military circles in
this city.
Reports reached this city yesterday afternoon that
General Avertll bad been killed In the tight on Sun
day, but General Hunter, at Harper's - Ferry, had
not received, up to last evening, any confirmation
of the rumor. Up to the hour of going to press
there was nothing later received. The telegraph
communication only extended as far as Harper's
Ferry, and notbingeould be ascertained in regard to
the movements of the rebels.
Citamnunsnuno, July 26-11 A. M.—Tho rebohi
have not advanced further than Martinsburg. As
yet there tz no indication of a robot movement bo
yond that point.
Ws.stitztos.o.w, July 26.—General °rook met the
rebels on Sunday, at Winchester, and was repulsed
by them. They drove him back to,Williamsport
by way of Martinsburg. It Is proper to say that he
bed not his old command. From souse cause the
militia were assigned to him Instead of his vetorans.
LATBIL PROM TUE BORDER—GENERAL AVERILL
I.lAvrtstonx, July 26.—The (waning edition of the
American publishes the following:
We have been able this morning to ascertain
nothing definite with regard to the rebel movements
at Martinsburg and along the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, further than tho foot that most
of the exciting stories In circulation on Monday
evening lrere either unfounded or greatly exagge
rated.
As far as we can ascertain this morning, General
Avertll has not been killed, as reportod, but was
compelled by a greatly superior robot force to fail
back to the Potomac through Martinsburg to Wil
liamsport, Maryland, carrying with him tho gent.
son to that point.
Whether the rebels occupied Martinsburg ,last
night is not known, but of its eramiation by Our'
troops there seems no doubt.
This morning trains to Fredoriok and Washing
ton went out as usujd, and a train for Sandy Hook
loft at 7.45 A. M.
The suspension of telegraph operations last night
le said to have been °awed by the storm ol wind

Tin; WON RAID INTO MARYLAND—WILD STORMS—
El=
BA LTI MORE„TuIy 20.—1 t is extremely difficult to
obtain soy authentic inferrnatien relative to affairs
on the Upper Potomac, and of the rebel movements
in the valley,
By far the greater part of the rumors and even
positive F !Moment hourly put. Jn circulation here
ore evidently false, and therefore not worth re
peating.
From nil the Information time far obtained, it 13
believed It will be found that the rebel force resting
in thovalley and reported at Martinsburg and other
points, is none tither than the reeent raiding force,
which, lindink they wore no longer pursued by any
large force, suddenly retraced their steps and fell
Upon our small force - under General Crook with the
object of driving him back beyond the Potomac, and
Ibus freeing the valley from Federal troops, ena-
Ming the rebels to gather In the crops of the valley,
so vastly important to Lees army. Doubtless they
propose at the same time doingall the mischief they
can north or the Potomac, and may, It Is thought,
attempt a raid In the southern counties- of Penn
sylvania.
It is believed tonight that the' wild - stories, so
extensively circulated here last night and to-day, of
disaster to our forces by encountering this rebel ad
vance, have little foundation 1n fact.
The extent of the news, it is believed, will be found
to be that General Crook was, after a sharp contest,
compelled to fall back before a superior force, with
no serious loss.
The reported loss of guns does not appear to rest
on anything more than rumors, and we have now
counter reports that he saved all his guns.

trade of the world and get the Rhino provinces, and
we shall probably go to war with the United States,
and we shall not be able to send enou"h troops to

cannot be a success, and if it is success Will be worse
than failure.

Federal Germany from despotic Prussia ; that Bis

tyranny of Prussia, and get the Einperor to assist
you against Prussia, and get a better line for the
Danes, beside humiliating Prussia. Illy dear boy,
1 know German politics are rather difficult to un
derstand; but before going to war, you really must
have a clear idea oi.who is your enemy, nail how
you can best damage him. If you go to war with
Germany, you fight against your best ally. if you
go to war for Germany, you will destroy Prussia,
and get far better terms In the end for Denmark.

The Circassian Exiles
A letter, dated Ineboll, June 23, describing the
condition of the Circassian Immigrants, says:
"There are five thousand Circaasiams here just
now, and every week Government steamers, sell
ing vessels, and market calques add to their num
ber. To depict fully their awful state utterly bar-
Iles my power of description; It would, in fact, re
quire the pen of-s. Defoe. Small pox, typhus favor,
and dysentery aro making the most fearful ravages
among them. The Pacha did good service In
causing the sheds for washing tho dead, which had
been erected In the heart of the town, to be re
moved to the suburbs; he also forbade nil Inter
ments in the cemetery, and caused a special place
of burial to bo found outside. Ile likewise pro
hibited the women and children of the quarter
from having any communication with the Int
migrants, and [(ivied a muster of horses, mules,
and asses, to transport as sonny as possible into the
interior. hinny of the roltdent - families remain shut
up in their houses for fear of contagion • typhus fe
ver has broken out among them, and I fear small
pox will speedily follow in its wake. As many as
one hundred and fifty Inhabitants have caught pes
tilential disease. As for the Circassians, the deaths
among them continuo to increase daily, and If they
go on, indeed, in the Same ratio, not a quarter of
those who arc landed will ever reach Angora, which

flour, which is distributed daily by the authorities,
otherwise they must all perish. With groat diffi

little beef is occasionally procured, but it is not fit
for human food, for the animals email diseased, and

The Turkish women of the country, who deem it a
work of mercy and merit (sehab), wore in the habit
of coming indiscriminately to wash the belies of the

CoNTINuNTAL Homr„ July 24
Mr. Greeley's editorial conception of the charac
ter of the Southern peace platform, ns given by me
to the Herald, I answer by the simple statement
that Mr. Greeley- had but one interview with the
Commissioners, and that one open, while I had
forty in private, either with them or their represen
tative, Mr. Sanders. Mr. Greeley's purpose was
solely the conference at Washington. My purpose
was both the conference and to know what would be
the pOsitlon of the South before said conterenee. I
had my reasons for keeping the entire views, as ex
pressed to me, from Mr. Greeley. Thus his surprise
now, particularly as to the "free trade" and repu
diation platform.
I was of the opinion that while both the North and
South should meet unconditional as to terms of
peaie, yet both would present extravngant plat-;
forms, anti now maintain that as said differences
would notjustlfy an abrupt termination of the eon..
ference. our differences could be referred to an im
partial tribunal. So should not the now announced
positions prevent the conference. Thus my platting
the entire peace negotiations before the CountrY,
that the peojilethe real newer—should ask and de
mand an armistice for negotiations The sword has
done its bloody and ineffectual work. Let wisdom
now prevail, with a. trust In peace, justice, and God.

still more delightful. For two weeks not a shower

to keep it before the public eye, as long as possible,
and every day more and more correspondence
makes its appearance. Thus, It would seem that if
nothing else haacomo of this treaty, it has at least
caused an enormous expenditure in writing-mate

Dostructfon of Fairßuildings to Buysla
GREAT SIRE AT NIJNI NOVGOROD
Every year the Russians hold at NUM Non Oral,
near the centre of the J ropeau part of the Russian
empire, a Vast fair, attended by merchants from
Aria as well as Europe. Long caravans come over
land from China, laden with the ton which Is the
delight of the Russian palate. Traders from Per
sia, from Turkey, and also from the western Coun
tries, as fur even as Paris, aro to be found there.
A railroad lies lately boon opened, which con
nects IsOjni Novgorod with Moscow and St. Peters
burgh.
The fair takes place every August, but this year
It will be held under peculiarly difficult circum
stances; for on the 18th of Juno a fire broke out,
beginning at 5 o'clock In tho morning, and during
the day most of the immense mass of booths and
buildings were utterly de9troyed, and structures
which covered nearly a square mile were consumed.
The fair is separated from the town by the river
Olia. A new steam tire-ongine, of American In
vention, was brought to the spot and saved some of
the buildings, but the flames destroyed the theatre,
the circus, 20 booths of Mountebanks, 6 photo
graphic establishments, 2 catty, 18 restaurants, 8
taverns, 10 wine cellars, 6 hotels, 1 Ice-house, 0 Inns,
2 apothecary shops, 7 counting houses, 4 hair-dress
ing saloons, 3 bathing establishments, 300 retail
shops—total, 437 private establishments and 12
WOO ings belonging to the State. There were, with
out counting the depots for timber, 40 commercial
buildings, with 1.514 magazines, and 148 isolated
buildings. The fair not having commenced, a con
siderable portion of the magazines were empty, but
as but few of the buildings were insured the loss
wee large. It is supposed that the fire originated
through the carelessness of sown °Rho workmen.
A RAILWAY ADVENTURB.—AnOthor rail way ad
venture is related intim English papers by a gentle
man of the name of "Stokes." A young lady travel
ling on the Southwestern Railway was assaulted by
a blackguard in a railway carriage. To escape his
Insults, she opened the door of the carriage, got mt,
and remained standing on the step and clinging to
the side of the carriage while the train was going at
the rate of forty miles an hour. Fortunately, Mr.
Stokes discovered her In her perilous position, and
managed to draw her to thedoorof the cotnpartment
ho was in. lie there held her tightly round the
waist, and sho fainted In his arms. In this awkward
and most dangerous position, Mr. Stokes travelled
with his fair burden about live miles. Al last, how
ever, theguard, signalled by persons In the neigh
boring Hold, stopped the train and rescued the young
lady.
A GOOD RUTORT.—The New York Journal of
Commerce, quoting the oß•repeated commonplace
that "the rebellion is on Its last logs," asks poc
vb-bly how many legs the rebellion has got. The
Chicago ri Rome answers :
"There is a leg In Ohio called Vallandigham, one
in Chicago called the Times, two In New York, tho
Journal of Commerce and World, and one in Cincin
nati, the Enquirer, besides two very lame logs at
Richmond and Atlanta. The tiortherulop are the
most serviceable."

Bo8Tor{• July 26, 1861,
Here, In the centre of this AmOrlean Athens,
this hirth.place of American liberty, ho close prort.
lolly to the battle-grounds of Lexingtm.' and Bea
ker Hill, my thoughts revert to home seee'es In the
dear old "Keystone," and to familiar foJins and
faces even yet more dear; and I have fanele,l that
perhaps some jottings from my preiumhw pen
might not be unwelcome to at beast a parthal of
your readers.
All through the dark days that have just beet.'
brooding over us, my spirit yearned for the refresh. ,
log pages of the loyal "Press," for I remembered.
from how many attacks of gloomy despondency the
earnest, hopeful words of "Occasional" hail In
forrnerearksome moments rescued mo, and I longed
tor an application of the same paacoa In my more
recent hours of gloom ; but not being a regular sub
scriber to your worthy periodical, I was obliged to
content myself with such hope and comfort am ttm,
patriotic journals of Boston could alien! ; and now,
thank God! the prospect brightens, until eves the •
least sanguine are becoming hopeful.
Engrossing as the thought of our country's peril
is, lit such a time, perhaps there are those amongst
us who may be willing to turn aside for a moment
irom the din anal smoke of battle and ream in boa
e,ination through the. peaceful S'.:O:lC9 of New .Eng
land, lying too remote from the fields of blood and
carnage to be personally affected thereby, yet when
ever her country demands her ald, sending forth
her bravest and her best, with that same self-sasri.
Being spirit that has ever characterized her since
her earliest settlers lauded upon Plyesoath Reck.
My journey to Boston was one of pleasure and In
terest, our route lying through souse of the most
beatitirul portions of our sister States, among which
the "land of steady habits" plays, in my estimation,
no unimportant part. I arrived here on the evening
of the .ed Inatant, and consequently it was my for
tune, whether good or bad X will submit to the
reader, to witness for the brat time In my life the
celebration of the Fourth of July in Boston. Very
similar to such celebrations elsewhere did it seem—
the same amount of music, public speaking, and
hurrahlog. The same amount of powder burnt, I
suppose ; the same amount ol tobacco and rum con
sumed thesame amount of profanity and carousing;
thus converting a festival that should be of a clia
meter to awaken our highest and holiest emotion/I
Into scenes producing loathing, disgust, and pity.
I was at Lexington on the morning of the Fourth,
and surely the patriotic spirit of our Revolutionary
ancestors is by no means waning In their progeny,
if we may judge from the succession of confused
noises with which Young America, at the early hour
of two A. M,, chose to usher in the anniversary of
our nation's natal morn, thus driving from the
brains of the less enthusiastic, though perhaps no
less patriotic, ail ideas, for the time being, of woo
ing Morpheus.
Allured hither by the fame attending the new
gymnastics of Dr. I)io Lewis, many of whose gradu
ates are now disseminating the good seed through
out your city and its rielnity, I find myself a mem
ber of a class numbering about forty, for the sum
mer term of 1864. Here may be found IndividuaLs
of various grades; from the sallow, melancholy
dyspeptic in quest of health—of which class your
bumble correspondent is a representative—to the
sturdy athletic, strong in his Powers of endurance,
and glorying in a system promising , him a still more
healthful development of those powers.
No less variety exists in our corps of able profes
sors-rthe extreme radical views in regard to physi
cal education being supported by the worthy Dr. L.
himself; the extreme conservative by Prof. T. H.
Hoskins; while the medium around is ably contest
ed by Prof. Walter Charming; thus enforcing a*
one-sided views, but presenting to a class of think•
ing men and women a large held for inquiry and in
vestigation, the only way In which a permanent
and healthful reform of. any kind can possibly be
effected.
The department of elocution and Tom' culture is
under the immediate supervision of Prof. T. F.
Leonard : than whom an abler teacher of his profes
sion cannot be found, while his witticisms and sar
casms form the basis for much amusement during
our leisure hours.
Come with me into our gymnasium one of them ,
fine summer mornings, as dumb-bells, ries:. and
wands are alternately brought Into requisition,
keeping time, the while, to varied strains of music
Let me Introduce you to our instructors, Dr."LerrlS.,
and his assistant, Dr. Scott., who form, not only In
their personal appearance, but in their general de
portment, a striking and pleasing contrast.
The one, short and stout, with light complexion,
light brown hair slightly mixed with gray, quick
and energetic in his movements, constantly illus
trates the Yankee spirit of go-aheadativeneo and
possessing withal a sufficient amount of self-esteem
and self-reliance to carry him through any emer
gency. The other, tall and commanding in figure,
with dark complexion, dark eyes, hair, whiskers
and moustache, calm and deliberate in action, yet
never remiss in duty, or swaying from an Meant
consciousness of right; prepossessing and WIS. -
sliming In the highest degree, he has already fully
enlisted the confidence of the Class, and established
amongst us a well• deserved reputation as an accom
plished gymnast and thorough drill-master. When
any new performances are to be taught and learned,
say we all, let Dr. Scott be our instructor ! But when
we have once learned it and are ready for quicker
movements and more exhilarating music, then we
are ready to welcome Dr. Lewis. Yet both are
ever welcome, for their peculiar temperaments,
strangely harmonizing while so widely contrasting,
reproduce in the gymnasium a
.perfect equili
brium ; and thus the honrs pass pleasantly away.
I write you to-day from Boston Common—" the
lungs of the city," as it has been justly termed ; and
surely some good angel must have influenced the
primitive Bostonians, when they established thus in
tne neart of this great city so capacious a breathing
power. This Common, and the public garden near
by, are truly democratic Institutions. Patrician
and plebeian daily and hourly meet here upon one
Common basis, and it is highly refreshing to one
whose vision has, like mine, been suddenly with
drawn from green trees and fields to walls and
pavements of stone and brick, to steal into an en
closure like this, and forget fur a while the folly,
crime, and misery pervading yen outer city world.
For Boston is like other cities, I suppose—no worse,
no better. The waves of a glassy pond are spark
ling near me as I write ; around me is grass that
would be green but for the continued drought; abuve
my head tower the grand old oaks and elms, while
higher still, in the blue ether, floats the tri-colored
ensign, once honored by all nations, now ungrate
fully trailed in the dust by hands that should tor
ever have shielded it from insult.
In the architecture of this city there is certainly
a pleasing variety, and I can now better appreciate
the feelings of a distinguished New England au
thor when he was puzzled to decide how the citi
zens of the "Quaker City" could distinguish one
house and street from another, because of so much
sameness existing there. But rnore, perchance,

Rives. son of the late John 0. Rives, Esq., Argos
from his bed in the still hours of the night, an,
passing out of his chamber window, fell thirty fed
to the ground, without sustaining serious injury.
In his descent, he in some manner struck and broke
a window of the chamber below his own. The fam
ily were thus alarmed, and when some of them de
scended to him, be was upon Lis hands and knees,
endeavoring to rise, which he immediately did with
slight assistance. and then walked up to his cham
ber again. Dr. Wells, of Bladensburg, near which
place the family resides, and Dr. Lincoln, of Wash

congratulated an anxious family on the providential
escape of the lad firm all injury, except some slight
scratches and braises.—Washingitm aronicle.

THE Buffalo Medical Journal describes a new dis
ease which has appeared at Oheekrawags, in Erie
eoanty, of which several persons have died. It com
mences with a diarrlicea, and is followed by emacia
tion till death supervenes. The autopsy revealed
the cause of death to be the presence of the worm
Trichina Spiralid in the striated muscles. The same
parasite was also shown in a sausage, of which •
one of the dead persons had eaten. And without.
doubt originated from pork. The worm was prob:
bly set free in the process of digestion, and inne
ately pierced the walls of the intestines, creatin•
the diarrhea, and passed through the peritonea
Into the muscles. It is very tenacious bf life, and.,
will resist a strong heat. The parasites were found
in the muscles of the dead persons in large nuns
tars. The medical men have no doubt that the-us:
of pork as an article of diet was the cause of th ,
disease. Tapeworm, It is believed, originates in •
siutilar manner.
