The Pirate Alabama Sunk.
Latest foreign news brings us the
cheering news that the Pirate Ship Ala
bama, Capt. Semmes was conquered and
sunk, after a fight of an hour's length by
the IT. S. Gunboat Kearsage, Captain
"Winslow. The fight took place off Cher
bourg. France. The Kearsage was but
slightly damaged, and only three of her
crew wouuded; of the Alabama, 6 men
were killed, 17 wouuded aud drowned,
and G8 captured. Capt. Semmes, with
14 officers and 27 men were picked up by
an English Steam-Yacht. When the
Kcarsargc searched for Semmes her men
were told by the English that he was
drown.
Another Rebel Raid.
The telegraph brings us the information
that the rebels have concluded to repeat
their folly of last summer; by making an
other raid North of the Potomac. A con
siderable force has already "made its ap
pearance on the border, under the com
mands of Gens. Hansom and Early. They
will find however, that they have reckon
ed trithout their host. We are not so illy
prepared as last summer found us, aud
with proper management of our forces at
command there will be no necessity for
permitting a single raider to return to
swell the army of Lee. Already troops
are moving to receive them, and Hunter
is marching northward to intercept their
return. As may be supposed, the raid is
producing a tremendous scare among the
Residents of Western Maryland and South
eastern Pennsylvania; and the roads
tead'iHg northward arc said to be lined
witb fugitives who are running their cat
tle, horses, and personal property gener
ally to a place of safety.
To insure the prompt punishment of
the invaders, the President has called up
on the Governor's of .New York and Penn
sylvania to furnish 12,000 men each for

Death of Hon. A. H. Reeder.
Yesterday morning as the Journal was
about being printed, the death of the a-
bove distinguished citizen was announced
He died of dropsy of the heart after a se
tere illness, in the fifty-eighth year of his
age. Perhaps no other citizen of this
place was so well or more widely known
than the deceased, who for more than a
quarter of a century was a prominent pol
itician, and as a lawyer had raised hiin
sotf to the head of the bar in this district
aud ranked h-igh in the Supreme Courts.
$e represented this district in the late
tlnion Convention at Baltimore, and gave
his influence in support of the Domina

large practice at the bar, and being oue of
our most prominent citizens, his death
will be a great loss, not only to his fami

Hunter's Campaign.
A correspondent with Hunter's Army
gives the following brief history of Hun

Hunter's army reached Lexington June

tillery. After fighting a few hours the
Rebels left. Wc burned the Virginia
Military Institute aud Gov. Letcher s
house.
Capt. Blascr's scouts captured seven
canal boats, containing six canoes, 0,000
rounds of ammunition, and a large amouut
of commissary stores.

miles from Lynchburg we found the Re
bels in a strong position, and attached
them June 17, driving them two miles
when night closed in. During the night
heavy re-inforccmeuts from Richmond, un
der Early, arrived. On Saturday, after
leeling the encmv s strength it was deci
ded that they were to strong for us, and
by night we withdrew, having taken two
cannon and GO prisoners. The 2nd Vir
ginia Cavalr', on Saturday night, cut the
railroad ten miles east of Lyuchburg.-
At Salani a party of Rebels attacked Cor-
hn s and Strauss s batreries in a defile
drove off the men, cut the wheels, aud
took olr 120 horses.
We brought off five cannon, leaving
seven that were ruined, together with se
ven caisons and carriages that were
burned by the explosion of the former.-
Six men were killed and ten wounded of
the 2d Virginia Cavalry.
Our whole loss in the entire movement
is probably 600 killed, wounded, and mis
sing. ..We have 100 prisoners, seven. can
non, and GOO horses captured, and have
lived almost entirely off the country and
made the biggest raid on record.
Among the killed is Adjutant Tor

A Daring Adventure Ira R. Tuttle and
His Scouts.
On the 11th of June, Ira B. Tuttle, the
3'oung, daring and cfScicut Chief of
Scouts of the Army of the Cumberland,
at the head of four of his men, made a
circuit to the rear of the Rebel army con
fronting Gen Sherman, and made a dash
into Viilerean, a small village southwest
of Atlanta, and used as a 'depot of sup
plies. Rebel troops were camped in front
and to the rear of the post, the camps be
ing about one mile distant. A Licuten-

sergeants were louua in tne place in
charge of the stores. So confident were
the Rebels that the post was Eecure, that
no other guard was stationed in the im
mediate vicinity. The officers and ser
geants were taken completely by surprise
by the suddeu descent of Tuttle aud his
men.
They were unarmed and forced to sur
render. The buildings, containing 50,
000 bushels of corn aud a large amount
of bacon, were firod by Tuttle. Five .ar
my wagons loaded with bacon and cloth
ing were also set on fire. The two com
missioned Rebel officers were then forced
to mount their horses, and the daring
scouts made a hasty exit from the place.
The burning buildings attracted the at
tention of the camps, and great commo
tion existed among the Robel soldiers.
They hurried forward to extinguish the
flames, and the Union scouts made good
their escape. The buildings were of a
light, combustible nature, and it is be
lieved that they were destroyed. -This it
one of the boldest adventures of the war.

A despatch from General Grant's head
quarters, dated at 9 o'clock this morning,
gives the following results of General Wil
son's operations :
"Sixty miles of railroads were thorough

in less than forty days, even if all the ma
tenals were on hand. . He has de
stroyed all the blacksmiths' shops where
the rails might be straightened, aud all
the mills were scantling tor sleepers could
be sawed. Thirty miles of the South
Side Railroad were destroyed. Wilson
brought in about four hundred
and many of the vast number of horses
gathered by his forces. He reports that
the rebels slaughtered without mercy the
negroes they, retook. Wilson's loss of
property is a small wagon train, used to
carry ammunition, his ambulance train,

By the destruction of so large a portion
of the railroad communication between
Richmond and North Carolina the opera
tions of the rebel management must be in
extricably embarrassed. Food, ammuni

landed by blockade runners, all must be
held back at a moment when the need of
them is most imperative to the enemy.

By about this time,. the Southern con

No 1,Commutati(m" Hereafter.
The controversy between the United
States Senate and House of Representa
tives over the repeal ot tne commutation
clause, id the bill for enrolling and call
ing cut the national forcesj has been set-
tied ny tne aaopnon oi uie report yi u
Committee of Conference, which substan
tially enacts tho Sinithcrs bill. There
some changes in it. The provision that
sixty days should be allowed for volun-
teers has b.een changed by restricting tne
term to fifty days. The privilege of re
cruiting by the loyal States in States in
Rebellion, has been modified by striking
out the States of Arkansas, leunessee
and Louisiana. This practically leaves
open, as the oulj Rebel States where re
cruiting for Northern regiments may be
carried on, those Rebel States in which
our troops are still fighting and hold Re
bel portions of territory viz., Virginia,
Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina.
We have stations and troops in other
States, but there could be no hope for re
cruiting there. The bounties are to be
same as established by the Smithers bill,
with the important diuerence that they
are not to be paid to drafted men or sub-
stitutes. volunteers only will receive
the bounty; drafted men or substitutes
arc only to get regular pay aud allowan
ces. Tho drafted man cannot pay com
mutation money, as heretofore, and un
less he can get a substitute he must serve
There is a provision that persons in the

of no importance except to soldiers.
This bill is evidcutly intended to stim
ulate volunteering, and for that purpose
it is more thorough than the old enroll
mcnt law. It withdraws all hope from
the drafted man. Under the three hun
dred dollar exemption clause every per
son whose means assured him that he
could raise that amount of money upon
security, was perfectly easy. lie would
run his risk ;if he should escape in the
drawing it would be well. If he were
drawn his pocket-book would purchase an
exemption. But now there is no certaiii-
taiuty for any one within the ages of
eighteen and forty-five ycajs. It is true
that even after a man is unlucky enough
to be drawn he may obtain a' substitute.
but the price of that article is likely to
be very high. Anybody can voluuter.
but everybody cannot go as a substitute.
The principle is established that no man
who is liable to the draft can be a substi
tute. Aliens, soldiers who have served
two years and been honorably discharged,
men over forty-five years whom the Pro
vost Marshals will accept, aud all those
between sixteen and eighteen years o
age, and perhaps the slaves of disloya
masters in States still in rebellion, arc al
that can be accepted as substitutes., I
the substitute-market were open to citizen
whether subject to draft or not, men who
might be volunteers would frequently
choose to be substitutes, allured by the
higher premiums to be obtained. But
this cannot be, and unless there are in
ducements sufficient to fill up the quotas
of volunteers, the draft cannot be avoid

The Truth.
The bay Quiutc Conference of the M
E. Church, in Cauada, recently said some
very true things in reference to Rebels
and the Rebellion in the U. S., as follows,
after setting forth various reasons for
such an opinion :
1. They arc rebels, having unconstitu
tionally taken up arms against their Gov
ernment. 2. They arc traitors, having employed
the influence, prosperity and strength
which they derived or stole from their
nation, in an attempt to overthrow its
constitutional Government.
3. They are murderers, being the di
rect and willful authors, and cause of all
the death and slaughter of tbe present
war.
The Pastoral Address of the Bishops,
of the M. E. Church contains the follow
ing patriotic passage:
"The war is not yet over. We can
have no adequate idea of the wrongs yet
to be endured, of the precious-lives yet to
be sacrificed befoFe the- nation's new life
shall bo placed beyond the reach of the
bloody hands which seek to distroy it;
but we state to you, calmly and solemnly,
that, in our judgment, all truo patriots
ought to regard their lives aud treasures,
without reservation, as subject to tho ex
igencies of this conflict until it is honor
ably and triumphantly ended."
Q&- It is officially stated the policy of the
Government is to furnish Grant with rein
forcements at tho rate of ten thousand per
week until Richmond is captured, and that
instead of calling out more hundred days
men, these reinforcements will be supplied
by conscription for short termesaY;from

The New Currency.
Thfe new currency bill which: recently
passed Congress has been . approved by
the President ana is now a iaw.
nrineinal nrovisions of the act are the
same as the former bill, which was passed
on the 25th of February, 1863 ; but there
are some important alterations and amend
ments to the new law with which the pub
lic should become familiar, as the new
banks are destined to produce a radical
change in the banking system of the coun
try
In future, no association can be formed
under the law in' places containing more
than six thousand inhabitants, with a
canital of less than one hundred thousand
dollars, nor in a city whose population ex
ceeds fifty thousand, with les3 than two
hundred thousand dollars capital; but
banks may be organized in places having
less than six thousand persons witn mty
thousand dollars, as heretofore permit
ted. One-third at least of the capital
stock of each institution -must be de
posited with tho Treasury of the Uni
ted States in Government registered bonds
of the five-twenty or ten-forty loans, or
any such bonds which may be used by
the United States subsequent to the pas
sage of the act; and upon the delivery of

Comptroler of the Currency is authorized
to allow to the association making the
same ninety per cent, of circulating notes,
provided the aggrregate circulation of all
the banks organized does not exceed three
hundred millions of dollars.
The denominations of the notes are to
be ones, twos, threes, fives, tens, twenties,
fifties, one hundreds, and one thousands,
but not more than one-sixth part of the
notes furnished to-any association will be
of less denomination than five dollars,
aud after the resumption of specie pay
ments, no notes of a dcuomiuation under
that amount will be allowed. The banks
in the cities of New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago,
Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Cincin
nati, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Al
bany, Lcvcnworth, Washington, aud San
Francisco, aud Richmond aud Charleston,
after they shall have beeu taught to recog
nize and respect the laws of the Union,
must redeem their bills at-par in the city
of New York : aud the issues of banks lo
cated in other places must be redeemed
at par in at least one of the cities above
named.
In lieu of all existing taxes each asso
ciatiou is required to pay one per cent
annually on its circulation, half per cent,
annually on the average amount of its de
posits, and half per cent on its capital a
bove the amouut which it has deposited
with the United States Treasurer as a ba
sis for its circulation. When the system
is completed, this tax will probably yield
to the Government the following yearly

JGThs losses of our army during the
campaign of Gen. Grant have been great
ly exaggerated. The New York papers
state "upon the best official authority,"
that the number of the killed, from the
time the army crossed the Rapid Ann un
til it reached the James river, did not ex
ceed four thousand men. The wounded
numbered something over forty thousand,
and including casualties of every descrip
tion less thau fifty thousand; while the
deaths of these wouuded men are so far
not much in excess of two thousand, or
from four to five per ceut. Tho injuries
of tho wounded men in the majority of
cases aro very slight. Tho permanent
loss to our army for the time mentioned,
may be twelve to fiftcon thousand men,
but not in any case more thau twenty
thousand, aud tho loss of life is much
less.
