of bushols of wheat havo been carried off
from tho Cumberland Valley and the

rebel forces arc marching on Washington
and Baltimore At this writing wo can

For the Back Townships.
Tho Hand Organ publishes a story falso
and absurd upon its very faco ; to tlio ef
fect that Grants' losses aro only fifteen
thousand killed. It was stated in Congress
and not denied to bo 100,000 however,
tho story is intonded for tho back town

are at a loss to guess. Even deluded "Loy
Leaguers" know better ; and tho lying
soems to bo entirely gratuitous. Go on,

"all's well'' when it was not so, and they

l( If tho infernal fanatics and abolition

Another Blow at Poor Men. The
bill repealing the commutation clauso of
tho draft law has passed both houses of
Congress. It baiug Old Abo's favorite
measure, and patted upon his recommen
dation, of courso ho will sign it. Poor
men will now havo no alternative but to go
into tho army and fight with and for tho
niggers, when drafted, no matter if their
wives and children should starve. Mon
who oan afford to purchase substitutes,
however high tho pries demanded, will do
so, and the poor men tho mechanics and
laborers of the country will havo to do
all the fighting iu this war for tho freedom
and social clovation of tho niggors. It is
an unjust and infamous discrimination in
favor of tho rich against the poor, and we
rejoico that the Democrats, as a party,
zealously resisted its passago,
Blacko vs. White.
At Wiloox Landii'g, on the James Riv
or, a party of colored troops were station
ed last month; While out on a foraging
expedition thoy captured a Mr. Clayton,
woaltby planter, whom thoy brought to
camp, and by orders of thoir .white com
manding officers,, stripped and tied him to
a treo, aftor which a stalwart negro was
ordered to givo him a flogging, which, tho
acoount in tho Ch'istirn Recorder approv

THE WAR.
Tho Confederate invasion of Maryland
has assumed largo proportions. Their
advanco is within a few miles of Balti
more and Washington, Tho sicgo of
Petersburg is at a stand still. Fait of
Gen. Grant's army is believed to bo on iU
way northward,
Frederick is about fifty miles west of
Baltimore, and Cfly fivo northwest of
Washington. A turnpiko connects Fred
erick and Washington. A railroad and
turnpiko connect Frederick and Baltimore.
Tho railroad runs along tho Patapsco
Vulley. The turnpiko passes out of Fred
erick a'bhort distauco north of the railroad
crosses the Monocacy threo miles north
of tho railroad bridge; and then runs along
tho railroad first on one side then on the
other, until Baltimore is reaohed. From
Ellicott's Mills tho turnpike runs cast
eleven miles Mo Baltimore; the railroad
runs fourteen miles, as it makes a detour
(o tho south to reach tho Relay IIouso.
Tho Monocacy River flows a southern
course and passes threo miles cast of Fred
crick. It is a stream about ono hundrod
yards wide, with high banks. Tho rail
road bridge southeast of Frederick and
the turnpiko bridgo cast of tho town are
largo and oostly structures. The Mono
oacy falls into tho Potomac fivo miles be
low Point of Rocks. Edward's Ferry is
sixteen miles below Point of Rooks. It is
on a road leading cast from Leesburg,
Virginia, to Baltimore; and is fifty milcb
from Baltimore,

Baltimore seems to bo out of danger. It
owes its safety not to any stiiLdord defense
of the citizaus, but to the fact that the
Coufcdorates havo directed all their ef
forts against Washington. Gen. Wallaoo,
having failed, is removed. Goncra Ord
succeeds him. Business is at a standstill
in tho city. All tho avenues of approach
aro closed. The Northern Central Rail
road has been eoriously injured. Tho
Philadelphia and Raltimoro Railroad is
also badly broden. Ono-third of tho Gun
powder bridgo in destroyed. But ono
telegraph wire runs to Baltimore. It fol

of eastern Maryland. Thoy npproaohed
tho shores of tho Chescpeak. Every town
and villago was visited. They wore in
tho suburbs of Baltimoro, They did as
they pleased- They carried off much
booty, but wero quite lenient in their" con
duct. Thoy eertainly captnred General
Franklin. Yesterday morning thcro wcro
evidence of their withdrawcl. All tho de
tached columns wore called in,and nt noon
they crossed tho west sido of tho Central
Railroad, seven miles from Baltimore.
Thoy turned southward, passed beyond
Smith's Mills and joined the Confederato
forces near Washington. Beyond scouts
and pickets, thcro is no longer any Con
federato force north of Baltimore. South
of tho town, however, thoy appeared quite
noar tho Relay House, and no doubt arc
all along tho Baltimoro and Washington
Railroad.

Tho Twelfth Ohio, veteran regiment,
oamo down from tho.Kanawha country on
tho Allon Collies yesterday. Thoy nre
about to bo mustered out of service This
regiment was with Gonoral Huntor in his
late Lynchburg expedition, Wo nro in
formed by gentlomeu who oonvorsod with
tho officers aud mon on board tho boat,
that thoy declared that General Hunter
would have taken Lynchburg if ho had
made tho altaok the day ho got there
Ho deferred uutil tho next day, and tho
robol ro-oaforeoraonts oamo up during tho
night. Thoir forco was then so largo
that General Hunter ordered a retreat.
Iho robols pnrsueu, auu a scries ot en
gagements wcro fought, in which our loss
was at least 8,000 in killed, wounded nnd
missing, On tho retreat it is charged
that General Huntor filled tho ambulances
with negroes, to the neglect of tho wound
ed white soldiers. Ilia conduct is bitterly
denounced by all the soldiers.
It is also said that Gen. Crook has pre
ferred charges agaiuiit Wen. Hunter for
incapacity and cruel treatment of his men.
As an instance, it is charge! wo hope on
tisely untruo, for it is almost incredible,
that Gonoral Hunter cowhidod a man pur
tsonally for ordering a negro to get off
a horso to givo plaoo to a wounded sol
dier. At Connellton, tho head of navigation
on tho Kanawha, 3,000 wounded wore
placed on barges and towed down tho
river. Tho sufferings on iho retreat wsro
terrible, and a half dozen soldiers died
per hour during tho last two days from
starvation, fatigue, and exposure. Tho
retreat was long, horriblo, and disastrous
in tho extreme.
