Intel Form of the Ballots for the tionstitu.
tional Amendirornts
It is well that our friends throughout thf
State should properly understand the legs
form of the ballots to be used in voting to)
the Constitutional amendnienta. We submit
a ticket in favor of the three amendments, as
provided for by the law:
. First Amendment.
FOB THE AMENDMENT.
Second Amendment.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
Third Amendment.
FOE THE AMENDMENT.
—Theis) tickets are to be folded so aF
to enclose the words "for the amendment,'
leaving outside for perusal as the ballot if
distributed to the boxes, the words "first
amendment." All the amendments are im
portant. and ft should become the duty of
every man truly devoted to the Union and the
Commonwealth, zealously to labor for theb
endorsement at the ballot box.
The Electoral Ticket.
It would be well for our loyal cotemporarie•
carefully to examine and revise the electors
ticket at the head of their columns, so the
the name of each elector may not only cor
redly appear in every organ of the cause, but
that the ballot may also be properly printed.
We have already corrected . , - several errors iv
the names of these electors. We are now
called on to make still another correction.
The name of the elector in the Thirteenth
District, as it appears in many of our notetn
poraries, is printed Elias W. Hall, when 1t
should be tutss W. Ham. We trust that
this correction will be properly attended t.
by the journals having the ticket at the heat
of their columns.' • •
Soldiers' National Cemetery.
We have received a copy of the _report o'
the select committee, made to the last Legia
'attire. relative to the proceedings at the dedi
cation of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at
Gettysburg. The report embraces the .name.
of those buried on that now sacred and classic
soil, with diagrams of the battle ground and
the cemetery, accompanied by the matchlis
and eloquent oration of Edward Everett, de
livered on the occasion of the dedication.
Altogether The document is a valuable one,
and in its typography reflects great credit on
the State printers, as it has been produced in
the very highest stele of the art.

31nntry and its creditors. History, some day,
vill show that Mr.' Chase committed three
;mat blunders: First, when he abandoned the
sale of the five-twenty and put into the
narket the ten-torty bonds. By this action he
treated an unnecessary panic in the uncalled

ter cent. He might have contained the sale
f the five-tvrefity - bonds. The loan was pop

treated in the financial world. It was the

rise of gold in a rapid, augmentation of• price;
or rather then ensued a depreciation of our

the prodnots of business, land. lobar and

We trust that the inccesosor of Mr. Chase

A force of rebel raiders, numbering between

Thursday night, on their way towards tJadi

They had with them 150 horses and 25 pris

They passed Creighersville about 8 o'clock,
and half an hour afterwards a small force of
Union cavalry from the west, who crossed the

appeatance at the same place and pursued the
rebels. The latter gave out.

A. farmer whe came in this aftornoon from
the neighborhood of Pooleseille, .states that
the rebels stole over 5,000 head of 'cattle fr( m
the farmers of Montgomery county,
1,000 horses and a large 'loather of sheen
and hogs, 44; say . nothing of poultry, which
they cleaned , out completell: .
From the ' fi rst day they crossed' Cle,, , river
they have been driving immense droves of
live stock into Virginia actress the numerous
lords of the - up Per rarer. The forces operat
ing:under Bradley JChnsou in the vicinity of
Frederick and Baltimore coistantly sent herds
of Cattle and horses across the river.
The rebels did little damage to the growing
corps, but took all the hay they could find.
Several hundred conscripts, collected be
•twien Frederick and Rockville, were marched
into Poolesville,on Sunday under guard.
The main force of the rebels crossed at Ed
ward's Ferry on Wednesday morning; the rest
at Muddy Branch, Nolan's and White's Fel ,
ries. later in the day. They did not hate
'much artillery with them.
While their main infantry force was lying
in front cf fortifications on the north side of
Washington, the cavalry, officered or 'guided
principally by Marylanders, was scouring
every nook and corner of the country in
search of live stock, which they coveted more
than any other property.
' Our informant, who is a yery careful man.
thinks that not less than tent thousand head
of oxen, cows, horses, mules, beside large
droves of sheep and bogs, were driven across
'the Potomac by the rebels, within the three
or four days they were threatening Washing
ton. Their infantry was mounted as quickly
as-the stolen horses were brought in.
The rebels to use his Own language, came
into Maryland a ragged and barefooted band
and went out looking like , gentlemen.
It has not yet been definitely"ascertained
whether the rebels carried off any ,of the Val
uable correspondence belonging to the Hon.
Francis E Blair. When our forces - occupied
the Silver Spring farm some of the pipers had
been ransacked, and were strewn about the
