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. Settlement of the Utah Indians. We.sunioTON, May 7.

CAPTURE OF A TRAIN AND ESCORT THE REBELS NEAR PINE BLUFF. Attack on Gen. Steele's Forces He Destroys His Supply Trains. Afro irs at "Attic I o t-ls The steamer Hillmaulkas arrived with ad vices one day later from Memphis. The ad vance of Gen. Sturgis' cavalry force, under Col. Harge, of the 2d N. J. Cavalry, 700 strong, with two pieceS of artillery, encoun tered a brigade of Forrest's men, 1,000 strong, 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. Return of Gen.. Steele to Little Rock—A Severe Battle with Price at Sabine Fork—The Rebels Defeated. 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. ROM THB SEAT OF WAR Our Forces Attacked. Capture of Pris'oners GENERAL HANCOCK ON HAND 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. BALTI'MORE, May 7 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 noon. 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 o'clock,' . Heavy firing was also heard when I passed Kelley's ford about 9 o'clock this forenoon,-; which leads nie to believe that we had driven there to their defence% as no heavy guns could be brought into action the former position" ! . _ v, There ought to be no doubt that there ha% Intrenehments.

Forraw Moslem, May 6 Raising obtained permiseion from Captain Peiffer, aid att camp to Gen. Butler, to publish anything that has transpired here in regard to the higitly important movements in this di rection, I transmit the following particulars: Oa Tuesday night, the ad inst., about one half of the large fleet and transports, that have been lying xi the road for some time, were ordered to Ypsidown and commenced embark iug troops...v. On-Wednesday,the rest of the fleet went up and took the vamainder of the troops on board and cameMek heie. -The whOle - Ileet then proceeded up James ri ver, passing here last night. The movements were conducted with the greatest secrecy, and with all possible quiet ness. The fleet advanced up the James - river, pre ceded by the army gunboftts, under command of General. Graham. During'l 10-day and last night a very success ful landing has been effected, and no resist ance had been met with up to 4 o'clock this morning, at which time the steamer Thomas Powell left with dispatches, in charge of Capt. Peiffer. No casualty had occurred beyond the killing of a colored soldier and the injury of two others by being caught betweeen two boats. Our movement was evidently a complete suc cess. At the lust advices our forces were being rapidly landed and pushed forward. We have landed at Wilson's wharf, Fort Powhattan Landing; Bermuda Hundred;above the Appo - - mattox, and, other places. Our monitors and gunboats are all over the bar at Harrison's Landing, and above City Point The operations of the fleet have been ohar acterized by great energy and success. STILL LATER. .Reported Victory. LEE'S LINES DRIVEN IN TWO NILE GRANT 114 PURSUIT GEN. BUTLER EN ROUTE FOR RICHMOND A dispatch from Washington says the Na tional Beinibliccin publishes an extra, stating Government has received unofficial advices of a victory, Lee's lines having been driven in two miles and Grant in pursuit. Butler is advancing on Richmond in two columns. THE LATEST. HEAVY BATTLE. SREVER,V. 1 7 1,1E13E - I_, LOSS LEE RETREATS AND LEAVES HIS DEA AND WOUNDED ON THE FIELD. BURNSIDE NOT IN THE FIRST DAY'S FIGHT HE REINFORCES GRANT WITH THIRTY THOUSAND MEN. 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., Lee; as tliei discovered ere this, that they have enough to attend to there probably ' - froM two attacicS mon the y , cit 7337 General gVntlerlstordes; 4 FR OM YORKTOWN.

PEMLA-DELPHIA., May 7 WASHINGTON, May 7 James River. The .party here divided—Major Wheeler taking the York river road, while the main body pushed on to Slatersville. The object of the 'division was to capture the rebel picket at New Kent Court House, near Slatersville. The column was fired upon by guerrillas, who fled. The rebel outposts were, one after another, run down and captured, and the moment after the appearance of our column at New Kent Court House, the rebel force stationed there fled. They were pursued some distance, when our forces returned. The rebel force at Bottom's bridge was found to consist of only -Holcerne's South Ca rolina Legion. On the return, when six miles east of Bar bamsville, after dark, several torpedoes ex ploded in a dense wood and several men and horses were hit, but nobody killed. The rebel authorities are removing the machinery of the Tredegar Iron works from Richmond to some point further south. The Herald's Newport News letter reports that the iron clads Atlanta, Roanoke, °win dage and Tecumseh moved up the James river some days ago. A Newbern letter states that the rebel ram left the Roanoake river and got into the sound, and quietly stole up some other river for the purpose' of driving off our gunboats. Her progiess was not interfered with by our squad ron. The Herald reports that a heavy column of troops under Sigel moved up the Shenandoah Valley from Martinsburg, some days ago. Gen. Averill is co-operating from another direction with his cavalry command. THE WAR IN THE SOUTH-WEST Gunboat Bastport and TwoTransportsDestroyed Attack on Vicksburg Anticipated A gunboat, arrived from Red River, brings information that, finding it impossible to get the Eastport off. and being attacked by the enemy while endeavoring to lighten her, she was destroyed by order of Admirable Porter, to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. The iron dads Fort Hindman and Toilet, and two transports, which were dis patched to assist in relieving the Eastport, were attacked while returning to Alexandria by the enemy, who lined the banks of the river on both sides, firing upon the boats from a twelve-pounder battery, making it neces.s'ary also to destroy the transports, which were burned. Several men of the crews of the iron-clads were killed and wounded. Among the killed was - Sylvester Pool, of Newport, Ky., execu tive officer of the Eastport, who had charge of the sharpshooters on the Fort Hindman. • He was struck on the back of the head by a twelve pound ball. The latest advises from below report the appearance of the enemy on both banks of the - Mississippi river.
