Damages Arising from Rebel Raids
We alluded, yesterday, to the mischievous
tendency of municipal governments to in
crease their debts, for purposes which should
not cost such governments a single penny.—
This morning we were reminded by a corres
pondent that there was still a greater danger
threatening the economy as well as the aug
mentation of the debts of the government.—
The disposition to recognize and liquidate al
sorts of claims against the government, aria
ing from the contingencies and, the emergen
cies of war, is fraught with great danger to
the stability of the national credit, and if
some wholesome restraint is not put upon it
before controlling precedents have been made
in its favor, there is no calculating to ;what
lengths the practice may be carried. Indeed
it has now become fashionable for every man
who has lost a fence rail,'spavined horse or
dry cow, by the ravages of rebel raids, to pre
fer claims against the government for indem-
Education for'snch losses. If all these claims
are recognized, who. can calculate the sum
which it will require in the aggregate to liqui
date suclraccounts? If the government agrees
to pay each man for what he has lost in bricks
and mortar, horse flesh and milch cows, grass
on his hill sides and grain in his fields, where
are we to derive the resources to meet such
demands? It cannot be derived from taxa-
tion, without draining the last dollar from the
people at large; becauSe the temptation to fraud
which this system of recognizing all sorts
of claims creates, will induce men, to swear
falsely—others to forge accounts, until we
have claims, something like the celebrated
case in the war of 1812, in which a bill was
presented to the government for a horse val
ued at something less than a hundred dollars,
but which, by the manipulation of claim
agents, eventually grew to a debt of something
over thirly thousand dollars.
It does not seem fair that, while a portion
of the people of this country are perilling
their lives and sacrificing their limbs in
defence of the Union, another should be
preferring claims and receiving indeinnity
for mere losses of dollars and cents—crops
and cattle. Would it not be just as fair to
put an estimate upon the life of every hus-
band, father and sou who fell at Gettysburg
and pay over to those who survive these he
roes the amount in full, as it would to recog
nize the claims of the people of the Cumber
land Valley or of any portion of the Union,
for losses suffered by the ravages of war? We
think so, and it is time that the Government
yield to the same way of thinking, if those in au
thority desire to keep the Treasury from becom
ing drained. The damages of war are like the
ruin of floods and hurricanes. While commu
nities should strain their recuperative power
to their utmost .to recover from the blighting
effects of war, individuals or communities have
no right to look directly to the Government for
indemnification for their suffering in this
respect. If such claims are to be recognized,
then the principle established by such a recog
nition will not be fully vindicated until the
same Government pays down, in dollars and
cents, to every widow, every indigent and be
reaved mother and every fatherless child, the
full value of their natural protector sacrificed
by the ravages of the war. Who will dare
say that the claims of such as these are not
as valid and more sacred than bills for the loss
of cattle or damages to crops ?
—We trust that future legislators will care
fully watch the 'tendency evinced by certain
interested sharks to drain the treasury by the
recognition of claims such as those to which
we now allude. The Government must be
just to itself and its own interests before it
dare become liberal to those who assert- they
have suffered from the indirect effects of the
war. The man with his broad acres should
rather be satisfied that the Government has
retained strength sufficient, in these days of
rebellion and conspiracy, to secure him in
his title. The loss of one crop, a few pan
els of fence, a horse or a cow, will not bring
bankruptcy. A few years of patient industry
under the auspices of a good government,
will restore to those who have thus suffered,
all their losses. But if the resources of ,the
Government are to be drained and exhausted
by meeting claims of this character, the load
of debt which will therby be created, will crush
its energies, destroy its power, and eventually
leave the whole land either a barren waste or
devote its productions to the extravagant
uses of the fraudulent. We do not expect .to
please all parties by thus recording our oppo
sition.to this tendency thus to recognize every
species of claim against the Government.—
But it is time that some one spoke out on this
subject. In Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama
and Kentucky the upholders of the 'Union
have suffered all the horrors of war. Lands
have been devastated beyond the production
of a blade of grass—homes have been demol
ished and their hearth -stones left smoking
with the embers of their own shrines—fami
lies have been slaughtered or scattered to wan
der as pilgrims—yet we hear of no appeals to
the Government for indemnification. From the
waste and the misery which have made re
gions in those States almost a howling wilder
ness, we hear only the cry of defiance to re
bellion and devotion to the Union. It has
b3en reserved for the thrifty farmers of the
Yllleys of Pennsylvania to be the first to ask
fit such indemnification, as they have suffered
the least from the effects of war. Nay ye not
rather write that it is not so much the farmers
who ask for indemnification, as it is a eoMbi
nation of old planderes, who seek 'to 'e'xiito
the cupidity of our agriculturists, induce such
as these to prefer claims for alleged losses,
when they are actually in debt to the Govern
ment for protection, and thus monopolize the
better part of the money derived from such
accounts, by the fees for their collection.—
Either light in which we view the proposition
to recognize these claims, it constrains us to
tremble for the resources of the Common
wealth and ' the means of the tax-payers
thereof.
The Amendments to the Constitution to
Enfranchise the Soldier.
The election that will take place in August
next, for the amendments of the Constitution,
enfranchising the soldier, is of the highest im
portance ; and the friends of the soldier must
not imagine that the copperhead sympathizers
with rebellion will suffer that contest to go by
default. From what we can learn, we are sat
isfied that all the lodges of the knights of the
Golden Circle in this State are now busily en.
gaged in arraying their forces to carry this
election, because it is as essential for copper
head success at the election in November next,
that the soldiers should be defeated at the
ballot-box, as it is that they should be over
whelmed on the battle field. All that the
American people hold dear is invested in the
success of the American soldier. All that the
copperhead sympathizers with treason con
template of success, is involved in the disaster
which they anticipate-for oui armies in the
field and. our soldiers at the ballot-box.—
Hence the necessity of our friends preparing
at once for the campaign in August. Upon
the result of that campaign two important ob-,
jects depend ; first, whether the man who has
the courage to peril his life in the defence of,
has the right to participate in the Government
of his country ; and, second, the thorough or
ganization of the Union men of the Common
wealth for the great battle in November next.
Hence, we repeat, the great importance of at
once organizing for the August campaign.—
Let our friends in all the .counties at once
rally for the soldiers and the Union !
People's National Convention at Cleve
land."
Such is the caption of a call printed in yes
terday's New York• Tribune, signed by a num
ber of political adventurers and malcontents,
and asking for a convention at Cleveland to
nominate a candidate for the Presidency.
Among the signers of this call, we notice the
names of William F. Johnston, It. P. SaWyer
and William Morris Davis, all of Pennsylva
nia. The motives which induced Ex-GovArnor
Johnston to sign this call are obvious to all
who know the man. He has hed no political
habitation, or respectable political recognition
for the last six years, simply because he had
forfeited the confidence of his old political
associates, by the shameless efforts he made
to betray the integrity of their principles and
the honor of his party on more than' one oc
casion, he being one of those malcontents who
deem it
"Better to rule in hell than serve in Heaven."
Hence his name being appended to this call
will create no surprise in Pennsylvania, where
Johnston is largely known and little regarded.
Sawyer is an erratic gentleman belonging to
Pittsburg, a sort of tool in the hands of John
ston, and the defeated candidate for Mayor of
that city at the late election therefor. This,
of course, explains Sawyer's desire for a con
vention of the people at Cleveland. William
Morris Davis is, we are informed by a friend
at our elbow, a disappointed candidate for a
United States District Attorneyship ; which ac
counts for the ass',milk in his cocoa-nut. And
these are the men who seek to create a public
sentiment in Pennsylvania, adverse to the re
election of Abraham Lincoln. •It only needs
the action of the summer solstice fully to de
velope the madness of these demagogues.
One of the Smiths
We said. "good and had a hearty shake
of the hand from our corpulent friend Smith,
of the Germantown district, yesterday, prior to
his departure, after the labors of an intensely
exciting legislative session, for his home in
Philadelphia county. • In one sehse, as a Har
risburger, we owe this Smith nothing—
but in another, as Smith is so clever a man
personally, and withal so obliging in his offi
cial and social relations, we could not, if we
would, refrain from esteeming and admiring
the man. It was his zeal for his constituents
which nearly lost him the goodleeling of some
of his best rural friends. Indeed, had it not
been for his uniform attachment to the sacred'
principles of his party—with the alacrity and
ability with which he devoted himself to the
interests of the State at large—Smith's persist
ing to magnify the claims of Philadelphia
would have earned for him the just reproaches
of at least two-thirds of the members of the
House. But, for the acquirements and the ac
complishments which we have enumerated, Mr
William F. Smith stood second to no man in
the House, either as a faithful worker in com
mittee or as a fearless debater on the floor.
—lf the Germantown district desires to be
again faithfully represented, the people thereof
will of course re-elect Mr. Smith. He proved
himself, as we have already written, decidedly
the most faithful man on the floor, during the
last session, to his constituency; while his
abilities as a legislator ranked him second to
no member of that body.
The Late Raid at Piedmont, Va
THE REPORTS GROSSLY EXAGGERATED
The special dispatches to the papers of Neit
York and otlier cities, about the late raid at
Piedmont, in AVOst Virginia, are grossly ex
aggerated. The whole amount of damage
done to property will not exceed $50,000. No
persons were disturbed, and there is no ap
pearance of marauders at any point. All the
trains are working regularly and successfully,
and the road is again strongly guarded by the
troops under Gen. Kelley, who has resumed
active duty after his recent leave of absence.

at New Bolivar, on the south side of the
Hatchie, on Monday last
A severe fight took place lasting two hours,
resulting in the enemy being driven from the
entrenchments, and retreating across the river
through Bolivar, destroying the bridge be
hind him. .
It is reported that Forrest was prekent in
the fight, and it is believed that he is beating
a rapid retreat into Mississippi.
General Sturgis is in hot pursuit.
Our loss was 2 killed and 10 wounded.
On the 25th ult.,a train returning to Pine
Bluff was capture by the enemy, consisting
of 240 wagons together with the escort, under
the command of Col. Drake, comprising the
26th lowa, 77th Ohio and the 43d Indiana,
with 4 pieces of artillery.
General Steele left Camden for Little Rock
on the 26th, being out of supplies. On
the 30th he crossed Saline river. Before
crossing he was attacked by the rebels
under Fagan. During the evening a por
tion of the rebel oavalro crossed the river
abovo there, and proceeded within eight
miles of Little Rock, causing much alarm.—
The enemy harrassed Steele during the whole
march in retreat, but he was able to keep them
from doing him any material injury.
He found it necessary bo destroy his train
and burn the bridges behind him as he passed.
On the Ist of May his main-force was with
in 40 miles of Little Rock, and his cavalry had
reached that place.
Officers recently arrived from .Little Rock
report that that place and Pine Bluff are safe,
the latter being strengthened by 300 men un
der Gen. Andrews. In the attack while
crossing the Sabine river, Mai. Atkinson and
Lieut. Henry, of the sth Indiana regiment, were
killed. The loss was heavy on both sides.

CAIRO, Friday, May 6.
A steamer arrived at Memphis, reports that.
General Steele's army has returned to Little
Bock. He was followed by Price's army, and
continually harassed. At Sabine Fork,
.the
rebels were turned upon and repulsed after a
severe battle, in which tho loss was about
equal on both sides.
Marmaduke was reported on the march to
join Price, when it was supposed they intend
ed jointly to attack Little Rock.

11111 and Ewell's Rebel Forces in the Action
On Wednesday night, General Warren's
headquarters were at the Wilderness. Gen
eral Sedgwiok on his right, at general head
quarters at Germania Ford:
On Thursday morning the rebels pressed
our pickets, and appeared in strong force on
our right.
The sth N. Y. cavalry, while skirmishing bn
the Orange Court House road, near Perkins
Tavern, were driven in with severe loss, leav
ing many wounded on the field.
General Griffith's Division marched forward
on our right, about 11 o'clock, to feel the
enemy's position, and was met by_the rebel
Gen. A. P. )321,supported by Gen. Ewell; a se
vere action took place, in which we captured
about 300 prisoners, though it is reported
that we lost two guns. In the Gen.
Hancock marched his corps to the right to
connect with Gen. Warren, and had hardly
got into position, his left resting on or near
Chancellorsville, when he was attacked by
Longstreet with his full force and part of
Ewell's. Gen. Hancock, with the assistance
of Gettys' division of the Gth corps, held
his position under a musketry fire of
two and a half hours' duration in which
his command suffered severely, inflicting much
injury on the rebelS. Other developments
showed Gen. Lee to have his whole force in
our front.
This knowledge of their + position was, of
course, highly important and was thus attain
ed only by the greatest skill in the handling
of our troops.
It not being the purpose of Gen. Meade
to advance' upon the enemy, he ordered
the line of battle to be held till morning.
The position of our troops on Thursday
night was parallel with and a little in advance
of the road from Germania ford to Chan
cellorsville, the two flanks resting on three
points,-and the General Headquarters being
at the Wilderness.

Meanwhile in the afternoon the advance of
the 9th Corps crossed Germania ford, taking
position on our right flank. •
General Burnside'srear arrived this fore

It was understood that a general attack was
to be made this morning and. heavy firing
commenced on our right, when I left, at five

Probable Retreat of Lee Toward Richmon
The government has information this maim
ing, whether from official sources or other,
we are unable to learn positively at the Mo
ment of going to press, that on Wednesday at
daylight Gen. Grant's whole army was entirely
across the Rapidan. It marched to a plain a
little beyond and near the old Chancellorsville
battle ground.
Gen. Lee was forced out of his works and
bffered battle, which was at once accepted.
The fight became fierce and lasted until dark.
The enemy being forced oack some distance
with great loss, left most of his killed and
wounded in our hands.
The two armies lay on their arms all night
Wednesday, and at daylight on Thursday the
battle opened again and raged with the geeat
est fury on both sides, until dark, 'when it
was found that the enemy had been forced
back, in the two days' fight, about two miles
and a half, leaving heaps of dying, killed and
wounded on the field, to be buried and taken
care of by our troops.
We have heard various estimates of the num
ber slaughtered, but at this moment it is
uselest to speculate on the subject. Every
one knows that it must have been terrible,'
and will speak to the senses when the facts
are known.
On Friday morning at five o'clock the forces
were marching for another conflict, General
Grant moving on Lee's works.
Up to this time Gen. Burnside's corps, num
bering 30,000 men, had taken no part in the bat_'
ties, but at hat:-past five *ere marching into
position to engage in the'laii)ody contest of the
third day's battla ; • Mid* of th‘ . reault of this
day's fight we have no report up to the mo
ment of going to press.
The battle *commenced at six o'clock in the
morning. Unless 'Lee received reinforcements
equal to Burnside's corps, the battle of Friday
must have proved terribly disastrous to him.
The fact that we have received no news of
yesterday's fighting leads us to the belief
that Lee is_endeavoring..to get away to-Rich
mond, and Grant, is in phrstiit.
It is evident that the rebel forces about
Richmond cannot be spared to reinforce Gen.,

The rebel outposts were, one after another,

also to destroy the transports, which were
burned.
Several men of the crews of the iron-clads
