The Last Rumored Rebel Raid—G.lst
for the Copperheads kind Frauds for the
Speculators.
The Copperheads had a glorious time of it
yesterday. At no time in a month, and cer
tainly not since the rumor that Minter had
been gobbled up by the rebels, were the
sneaks in better humor; their eyes glistening
with evident delight at the proipect of a rebel
raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania,• and
possibly on to the capture and destruction of
Washington. Had the rebels really been
across the Potomac, and had their ragged le
gions been able to have captured Washington,
the result would have hastened the meeting of
the Demooratio National Convention at least
a month in time.
We are happy to announce to our readers
that there is no foundation for the rumors of
a raid into Maryland or Pennsylvania. A few
straggling
. marauders appeared at Falling
Waters on Saturday last, which gave rise to
the report of a raid, and had the tendency to
create a panic in the Cumberland Valley.
But beyond this, there is no foundation for
any report on this subject. The border is safe,
and little 'or no likelihood exists of , a rebel
raid into Maryland or Pennsylvania as long
a 3 Grant threatens at Petersburg and menaces
Richmond.
Our Sick aid Wounded Soidlers.
The appeal which G-ov. Curtin has just
made, for contributions in aid of the sick and
wounded Pennsylvania soldiers, now in the
various military hospitals of the country, has
excited at once the surprise and the inquiries
of the people. That appeal is in response to
the urgent demands of the agents of the State,
laboring in different portions of the country,
for the comfort and the relief of the wounded.
Those agents write that in mans hospitals our
suffering brave defenders are actually in want
of the comforts and of the ordinary neces,.
series essential to their relief. We have been
permitted to peruse letters from reliable and
trustworthy men, communicating facts which
are truly heartrending. Hence the issuing of
the Executive appeal, and the necessity of
prompt action on the part of the people.
While on this subject we may as well be
bank in stating, that the amazement created
by the appeal of His Excellency, grows out
of the knowledge that within two months
about a million . and a half of dollars have been
raised in Pennsylvania for the relief of this
wounded, and the inquiries begin, therefore
to he urgent sihd stern as to what has becerne
of this vast sum. The agents trusted with
the disbursement of this money, are placed
in no enviable position by the appeal of
Governor Curtin. The letters from the army
which elicited thit appeal, make an issue as
to the effectiveness and faithfulness of those
who have assumed to apply the munificent
and bountiful contributions of the people in
aid of the wounded soldiers, which must be
met and settled at the bar of public opinion,
or those thus involved in the issue, will sink
beneath the most disgraceful suspicions. We
forbear at present any further remarks on
this subject, but we are determined to follow
the matter until the explanation necessary is
plainly and satisfactorily made public.
Thy Nomination for Congress in the Ded
ford District
We referred to the fact, a few days , since,
that Col. Thomas Jordan had been nominated
for Congress in the Bedford Congressional
District ; but we consider that the gentleman
selected for so important a position deserves
something more than a mere passing notice.
In point of ability, personal integrity and po
litical purity, Col. Jordan has no superior in
the Commonwealth. As the Bedford District
is now. represented, it is a disgrace not only
to its constituency, but a humiliation to the
State at large. We earnestly trust, therefore,
that Col. Jordan may be induced to accept
the nomination thus offered him, and that he
will appear before the people, in advocacy of
the issues involved in the coming contest.
If he does that; he can defeat any man whom
the copperheads can nominate.
CIONVALZSCENTS S NT TOTEM FRONT.—Within
the past week nearly 10,000 convalescents
have been sent to the front from the hospitals
in Washington. The men are constantly
going "forward, and it is expected that at least
8,000 will rejoin the ir' commands this week.
Not more than 180)00 patients remain to be
eared for, and thii:rinraber will be. reduced
within the next three weeks, so as to leave
none but the most desperate cases.

save those ot the Co pperhead clique who dire: ; '',
determined to be ditisatisfied with any Jegisla:
tion having a tendency to give force and vigor
to the operations to crush rebellion. What
tie Government now needs are men to fight
its battles. 'Unless these men are speedily
forthcoming. it cannot be . expected thEt
our armies can be maintained at their
maximum strength. No classof tricksters
in the community .better understand these
facts than the clique which is constantly en
gaged in destroying the legislative, executive
and military movements of, the aeirernitient.
When the privilige Wits accorded tO'drafted
men of paying -$3OO in lien of service, there
was no difficulty in procuring Men for that,
er even a less sum. But this is no longer the
case. A paper dollar is no longer equal to
what it was eighteen months or two years
ago, and the number of men ready to enter
the service is not so great. the reason of
the law having ceased to exist, the law itself
should be abolished. It is indispensable to
raise armies, in order to maintain the national
cause, and the Government should be em
, •
powered to use the most effective and speedy
methods for the purpose. The troops to be
raised are to serve but one year; and there it
good". reason to believe that their services will
be dispensed with before the expiration , of the
term, in consequence of the overthrow of the
rebellion. •
JUST Cevsz or COMPLUNZ-A great deal of
irritation exists among the officers in the hos
pital at Annapolis, sufficiently convalescent to
walk about, who are unable to get furloughs
to go home, and who charge their inability to

interest in their retention to the extent of.one
dollar a day, the price of their board.

Why do Enrishrnen . Eympstthize with
the Rebellion
This question is answered in very plain
language by the Newcastle (England) .Daily
Chronicle of the 3d inst., in a long article on
American affairs, in which that journal itself
lakes strong ground in support of the national
Cause :
"The real reason of the prevailing sympathy
for the Confederates intimately concerns our
selves. "That reason was long since avowed
by the Saturday Review. The battles of Dti
mooraey and despotism, of progress and re
action, are being fought on slaveholding soil.
The slave-dealing aristocrats of the south,
like the despotic governments of Germany,
de waging the world-old fight against the.
rights of man. 'But in America, it is not
only the reduction, but the dishonor of de
mocracy that is sought. No greater question
for the workingman has arisen since the, days
of Christ; for the south designs' to found on
slavery and crime a new system of civilization.
In that system white and colored laborers are
antra liable to be Included. The slave-own 4
era have therefore proved themselves the
enemies, not of the negroes only, but of all
mankind. Is it •to such enemies, we ask
again, that England should give her sympa
thies ?"
