A Eebel Eaid into Maryland light at the
Monocacy Eailroai Bridges Burnt, etc.
Last week we mentioned the fact, that ru
mors of a rebel raid were Current but that
nothing definite was knorn up to that time.
Since then considerable of a rebel force at
tacked Martinsburg, and Gen. Sigel evacu
ated the place and fell back to Harper's
Ferry and occupied Maryland 1 lights hav
ing sent his wagon trains and stores in ad
vance. For several days the rebels hung a
taut Harper's Ferry without making any
thing like a serious demonstration upon our
forces, nor did they apnear to be strongly
inclined to cross the Potomac iato Maryland.
Later, however, bodies tf rebels appc-ar-ed
at Point of Rocks, and several other
fords, and small detachments of cavalry
crossed and marched upon Hagerstown and,
we believe, entered that town and plunder
ed some of the stores and citizens. Some
skirmishing took place here tjetween our
advance and the rebels, a considerable num
ber of whom were hovering about Hagers
tewn. The rebels also set fire to the engine
house and some two hundred tons of Gov
ernment hay which had been collected at
Hagerstown, after which they withdrew,
carrying away a large amount of plunder.
The rebels also made a demonstration to
wards Greencastle and Wiliianisport, but
did not attack either place.
Next they turned their attention towards
Frederick, at which place it appears Gen.
Wallace had arrived with a force of about
10,000. The rebels appearing in large force
before Frederick on the evening of the Sth,
and Gen. Wallace not deeming himself strong
enough to resist them, fell back to Monoca
cy bridge, which he had resolved to defend,
and prevent the further advance of the reb
els. On the 9th, at about 9 o'clock in the
morning the rebels attacked Wallace, and
the fight continued until 5 o'clock in the af
ternoon, when our forces were outflanked
and compelled to iall back. Wallace's men
are represented as having behaved well and
fought bravely, but suffered a severe loss.
The rebels, however, lost fully as heavy as
we did. Gen. Wallace continued to fall back
towards Baltimore, but the rebels did not
follow him very vigorously, although their
force is represented to be not less than 20,
000 strong. Indeed, it is estimated by a
prisoner who was captured at double that
number, but we think this an exaggeration.
On the 10th detachments of rebel caval
ry appeared at Reistert own, 16 miles from
Baltimore, and at Westminster. Great ex
citement prevailed in Baltimore in conse
quence, and every effort was made to give
the rebels a warm reception in case of their
attacking that city. The reported cutting
of the Northern Central Railroad between
Timonium and Cockeysville, and the burn
ing of the bridge at Ashland iron works f or
a time increased the excitement in Balti
more, but confidence and quiet were soon re
stored. Gen. Seigle's wagon train arrived
at Baltimore this day, in charge of the de
tachment of infantry and cavalry. One of
the officers who was in the fight at Monoca
cy says, that in all his experience in this war
he has never seen more desperate fighting,
and that the rebel loss was at least as heavy
as ours.
In and around Washington every prepa
ration was made to secure it against a suc
cessful attack, should the rebels attempt to
take it
Gen. Hunter is reported as having recap
tured Martinsburg, with 1,000 prisoners,
and all the stores and much plunder collec
ted there by the rebels.
By Tuesday Evening's Mail.
The. rebel raiders are still in Maryland and
in close proximity to Baltimore. A squad
of the raiders ventured within tour miles of
the city on Monday and destroyed the resi
dence of Governor Bradford. Telegraphic
communication has beea cut between Balti
more and Philadelphia. The rebels also
captured two trains on the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Railroad, near Magnolia.
They Went through the trains and captured
all the officers and soldiers, among whom
was Maj. Gen. Franklin, who was on his
way North from New Orleans, having been
wounded in an engagement some time since.
Most of the passengers were robbed of their
watches and money ; then the baggage was
unloaded an 1 fire set to the trains. The
gunpowder bridge near Havre de Grace, is
reporte J destroyed.
The damage on the Northern Central
Railroad is not so serious ss at first report
edonly two bridges being burnt and a fe w
rails torn up at another point, whjcli will
be repaired in a few days.
In well informed circles no very serious
apprehensions are felt for the safety of both
Baltimore and Washington. Indeed, it is
asserted on good authority that the prepa
rations to receive the enemy are such as to
warrant the assurance of their utter defeat
should they make the attempt. The rebels
are, perhaps, upwards of twenty thousand
strong, but a dispatch announces the arri
val at Baltimore of 16,000 veterans from
New Orleans, a day or two since. Such be
ing the case a sufficient fbrce is at hand to
defeat the rebels.
From all the statements made it is evident
that the present rebel raid is more for the
purpose of plunder than anything else. A
few days more, we thi.;k, will find them on
the retreat, having accomplished little more
than the destruction of some property, and
carrying off a large amount of plunder be
sides getting up a big excitement in ihe
North.

Kentucky Politic!.
The Cincinnati Gazette has a vigilant and
well informed correspondent in Kentucky,
who keeps the readers ef that paper frilly
advised of the different phases of public o
pinion in that State. From his lace letters
published on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week it would appear that the rVe.sident-s
proclamation declaring martial law in Ken
tucky was not issued a day too soon. The
writer refers to many indications of the
prevalence throughout the State of wide
spread disahecttou and uisloyaity, which, he
says, is shared in some form by a large ma
jority of ihe population. He thinks there is
great cau?e for alarm and apprehension, and
expresses the opinion that the elements of
discord which are at work tend to but one
end civil strife in the State and the for
warding of the cause of rebellion and treason.
Opposition to the enlistment of negro slaves,
and the rebel sympathies of a large class of
the people, are at the bottom of all the mis
chief. It was high time that the govern
ment resorted to the extreme measures it
has proclaimed.
Resisting the Tax Law,
Two farmers in Hunterdon, New Jersey,
undertook to resist the ctllection of the in
ternal revenue tax by refusing to pay it.
The consequence was they were indicted,
plead guilty, and each had to pay a fine of
$5( x). The amount of tax which they refused
to pay was one dollar. A man that Undertakes
to resist the Federal laws, when properly ex
ecuted, will always come out of the contest
second best. And yet we need not be sur
prised to hear of repeated instances of these
attempts to resist the law. Simply because
the conductor of every copix'rhead newspa
per in the country is now laboring to incite
the ignorant portion of the community to
oppose the legal authorities. Indeed, the
copperhead leaders seem to have no purpose
in view now but to provoke a collision be
tween a iortion of the masses of the loyal
States and the Government.
The Amended Conscription Act.
Congress has at last perfected the new
Conscription bill. Under this act, drafts may
be made for 1, 2 or 3 years; bounties of
$100, $200, and $300 are to be awarded for
one,two and three years' service respectively.
Commutation is no more; but everyone draft
ed may serve in person or by substitute, and
fifty days notice must lie given before enforc
ing the draft. Each State is at liberty to
obtain substitutes in the States in insurrec
tion and have them credited on her quota.
We do not see how the act could have been
rendered more lenient, if the paramount ob
ject of recruiting our armies is to be kept
in view.
The Great Philadelphia Fair closed on
Tuesday last, with appropriate ceremonies.
The amount of money realized for the Sani
tary Commission will reach a million dollars.
The splendid sword was given to G en. Meade
by 3.442 votes to 1.200 for Hancock, and
several hundred scattering. Itwaseminent
ly proper that a Philadelphia Fair should
award the sword to her own great warrior,
whose name will stand second to none in the
history of the war for skilful generalship and
unfalterine heroism.
Address '-of the Union State Centrai Com
mittee. To ihe People of Pennsylvania :
In the midst of a fierce conflict for the na
tional life respon iing to calls for large re
inforcements to enable our armies success
fully to combat with traitors--cheerfully
meeting the payment of extraordinary taxa
tion to supply the government with money
to conduct the war, and submitting to au
immense increase in the prices of living, the
people of Pennsylvania have nevertheless
een able for tbreeVears to maintain a pros
perity, and secure a healthy operation in all
the branches of their trade, unprecedented
in the annals of any country while engag
ed in the prosecution of a war. In the trials
of this blood j- war, with the struggle just
reaching its climax, the people of Pennsyl
vania suddenly find themselves confronted
with a question of the highest importance,
because fraught with the most momentous
issues. Oidinarily, heretofore, political con
tests meant only a choice of poli y as to the
mauner of administering the government.
The struggle of parties was for the posses
sion of the powers of government, and mere
ly to control their operation. Now, howev
er, our political contests h:ive resolved them
selves into a direct and positive issue for the
safety and the permanence ef the govern
ment ; because politically as well as section
ally, tire contest at the ballet-box and in the
battle-field must decide whether the Union
shall exist or perish with the triumph or de
feat of one or the other of the contending
parties. Hence the unwonted importance
with which our political campaigns are now
invested. Parties are now divided on issues
which vitally concern the Government. They
are composed of friends and enemies of that
Government. 10 choose between these par
ties equally interests the cause of loyalty and
that of treason. No man cV.n stand neutral
between the two, and all who are not fairly
for the Irovernment will be justly recogniz
ed as its en?my. Admitting that such is
the new importance assumed by our politi
cal contests, we have an excuse as well as a
justification for entering on the contest fast
approaching, for the amendments to the
Constitution, with ail the zeal in our nature,
and all the devotion that should character
ize the patriot and Ih lover of his country
in his effort to serve it.
it would seem tnat on an ameamenc to
the Con.-iitution granting the soldiers a ria nt
to vote, there should be no division. A
mong a free people, particularly, who are
admitted always to be the most intelligent,
such a right should be so well grounded in
common and statute law, as to need no a
tion at this late day for its exercise and vin
dication. The soldier, in all lands, alike a-
mong civilized and b;:rbaric nations, has ev
er been admitted to the highest honors con
ferred by the government beneath whose
banners he fought. His valor, his sacrifices
and his devotion, have ever been regarded
as themes for the poet, subjects for the pain
ter, and material for the historian ; and thus
the calling of arms became one of honor
one which elicited the noble rivalries of com
patriots, and where civilization refined the
instincts and elevated the character of men,
war has been so conducted as to force com
batants to respect and honor each other's
qualities the victor still to treat the van
quished as a MAN. Ths Constitution and
laws expressly declare, that no man shall be
deprived of his citizenship, except for the
high crimes of which he shall be charged and
proven guilty. - He must be summoned to
meet such a charge of criminality in the
presence of judges whose oaths bind theiu
to do him entire justice. He must be en
sured a trial by a jury sworn impartially to
consider his ca -e. If found guiltv, the sen
tence of his judges may result in his disfran
chisement but disfranchisement is not aim
ed at as a result of his punishment. Dis
franehismeiit as a direct punishment is only
made to follow the highest crime known a
gainst the State. Vet in the face of the.sc
facts, an J in opposition to all equity,, there
are tho-e in the State who insist that dis
tVanchismunt should follow the higher ser
vices which a man can perform for his Gov
ernment. There is a strong party to day in
Pennsylvania, regularly organized, control
led by able leaders and su.-tained by astute
and learned advocates, insisting that the
service of a citizen as a soldier the peril
ling of life and limb in the support of the
Government, the giving up of domestic en
dearments, the sacrifice of business interests,
and theyieding of all personal comforts, for
feit for those thus engaged ail politi
cal right, every franchise of a free-born or
constitutionally adopted American citizen.
The monstrous iniqity of such a claim is at
once apparent, however it has been m: in
tained by our highest judicial tribunals.
Its justice can only be maintained by soph
istries founded in the worst political preju
dices, so that the sooner the Constitution
and laws are made plain and rendered expli
cit on this subject, and posted where every
man can read and understand them, just so
soon do we secure the strength and majesty
of the Government in the confidence and re
spect of the governed just so soon do we
make our good old State worthy of the past
valor of her sons, and glorious in the future.
American citizenship has its virtues, and
these their merits. Each virtue can only be
exalted by serving the Government under
which they flourish ; but if that service is
made a badge of degradation, will it not be
more natural for men of honor and spirit
and true courage to resist its rendition than
voluntarily to accept its duties ? The citi
zen soldier feels when he takes up arms it
is to defend, not destroy, his political rights.
The man who saerinces his business inter
ests, and for a stipulated time, surrenders
his personal liberty, cannot understand why
he should be deprived of his political rights.
The service of arms does not blunt the judg
ment or blur the ability of a citizen to exer
cise the elective franchise. It rather gives
him a new title to the enjoyment of such a
right, and fits him for the highest privi
leges of a free G overnment. Unlike the
masses of Europe, the great body of the A
merican people are intelligent, possessed of
educations affording the highest knowledge.
While war for a time may change the hi'oits
of such a people, it cannot affect their sense
of justice, their appreciation of power, and
their love of Government. It cannot lessen
their ahiliiy for self-government. If ifc
could, the war in which we are now engaged
for the defence of the Government and the
safety of the public weal, had better be stop
ped immediately.
The Democratic leaders now oppose the
enfranchisement of the soldier. In the ol
den time the Democratic leaders, such as
Jefferson, Jackson, Snyder and Shukz in
sisted that the elective franchise followed
the flag under which a soldier fought If
thnt Has was potent on the sea and the land.
to protect a man in war, why f hould it not
po-sess tneotner virtues oi continuing ms
nolitical franchises ? If it maUe the deck
of a vessel above which it waved, the soil of
the country represented by it, regaruless of
the sea or ciime in which it floated, so
also does it carry with it for the soldier who
fights beneath its folds any political rights
which these heroes enjoyed l-eiore they were
mustered into the service ; and on this
sound! v democratic argument the soldiers
who fought in Mexico were able to exercise
a freeman's right, in the wilds of the cbap
pcral, the heads of the sea shore, and din
of conflict, and in the shadow of battlement
ed castles the same as if they had been at
home in their respective wards and pre
cincts. If men fighting thousands of miles
from home but off from all communication
scarcely informed at the time on the issues
of the political campaign, were able and en
titled to exercise the right of the franchise,
is it not fair to suppose that citizens of a
like intelligence, engaged in the same service
ot the Government within the limits of its
authority, distant c nly a few miles from
home, conversant with all the issues involv
ed in the political contest, in daily commu
nication with their friends, and in perusal
also of journals discussing the questions at
stake is it not fair to suppose that such
men are entitled to the exercise of all their
political rights ? Only those who act from
perverted policy on this subject, will seek to
evade the responsibility of such a question.
This is proven by the judicial history already
attached to this question. ' When it was
deemed expedient, as it was undoubtedly
considered by the Democratic leaders then,
the elective franchise was extended to the
absent soldiers in Mexico ; but in the midst
of a war waged by the upholders of an insti
tution from which the Democratic leaders
derive all their strength, George , Wood
ward, a Justice of the Supreme Court, and
lately the'eandidate for the Democratic par
ty for Governor," judicially denied the sol
diers the exercise ot the elective franchise ;
denied our brave defenders the rWh.t
almost in the same breath in which he
declared the right of the States of
the South to rebel and secede from the
Union! Fair flien can see no difterer.c-3
in an American soldier voting in Mexico,
while fighting beneath the flag of Lis coun
try, and the .-rame soldier citizen under the
same circumstances voting in a rebellious
State. Time nor place, within the limits of
a free government, or in the service thereof,
cannot i:ifiuence,should not be permitted to
affect the rights of a freeman. The govern
ment which Is not able to insure him th se
inherent rights i.; unworthy his support.
The authority of a free government which
seeks to degrade a freeman while perilling
his life in its defence, is a despotism more
lean iu than that wmch denies ail right t )
the governed. It is not possible that
such a government can last At some peri
od in its history, if the rights of its defen
ders be disregarded as the Democratic lead
ers now deny the right of the franchise to the
soldiers, it will need arms to protect it both
from foreign and domestic foes, and perish
eventually, an object too mean for defence.
In advocating the soldier's right to vote,
the loyal meli of Peiinsylvaniti are sustained
by a faith ia the fact that his services are
such ns to secure him not merely all the
rights he enjoyed before he entered the ar
my, but increased dignity and power at the
hands of the Republic. The enemies of
this great principle oppose it only for rea
sons of expediency. There was a "time when
the Democratic leaders claimed that the ar
my was largely, and even almost wholly,
composed of their partizan followers. When
they were most clamorous in insisting upou
the recognition of such a claim, the suppor
ters of the principle, opposed politically to
these leaders, wore m st earnest, and even
persistent, in its advocacy. To them it was
a principle of justice too sacred to be disre
garded too important in its relations to the
very genius and vitality of the Republic, to be
denied to all the people thereof, alike those
who risk the perils of battle in its defence
and those who run no danger of life, limb or
property iu the service of the Government,
and who still claim its highest immunities
and most sacred privileges!
On the second day of August, ensuing,
this question will come practically before
the people of Pemylvania. We do not
doubt the result of the election as to the ac
ceptance or rejection of the soldier's right to
vote. J Jut we wduld be false to the party
which we represent and recreant to the creed
which we adore if we failed to avow in ad
vance cur approval of granting this great
right to our brave defenders. Pennsylvania
has many thousands of her citizens now in
the army. They have all gone forth inspir
ed by a sublime faith in the strength of a free
Government to crush a wicked conspiracy,
and does it become us, while enjoying the
halcyon blessings of peace at home, while
the limbs of our soldiers are wet with their
own blood, and their weapons are dripping
with the gore of traitor. . to say to them,
" You have forfeited your citizenship; you
are. no lonrcr liiorthy of participating in the
control of a free Government ; your posi
tions must or; icith the slaves of the South
among the disgrace lan I degrade I of God's
children " We cannot believe that the peo
ple of Pennsylvania are prepared to send
such a message to their fellow citizens in
the armies of the Republic. We cannot be
lieve that so foul a disgrace awaits our war
worn but still intrepid heroes. The hearts
of the great majority of the people at home
are too full of gratitude for a return cf great
service by galling neglect Our faith iu the
justice ot the people renders us confident in
the establishment and vindication of the po
litical rights of the soldier. But that faith
must be accompanied by works. Hence it
becomes the duty of the State Central Com
mittee to urge on the friends of the soldier
actively to labor for the triumph ot this ef
fort in his behalf. Let it be said of our fel
low citizens now absent as soldiers, that as
our victorious armies planted their banners
in the capital of treason, it was beneath
their folds in Richmond, each hero of the
Keystone State exercised the freeman's
right of the elective franchise for a Presi
dent to administer the Government to a re
united Union, to States ence more loyal, to
a people again at peace and blessed with
prosperity,

GREAT NAVAL FIGHT.
Destruction of the Pirate Vessel Alabama.
The news of the destruction !of the pirate
ship Alabama, is hailed with rejoicinu by
every loyal man. The particulars of the
fight arc these : On the morning of June
Hith, at 10:30 the Alabama was observed
steaming, out of Cherlourg Harbor, France,
towards the United States steamer Kear
sarge. Captain Winslow. At 11:10 the Al
abama commenced the action by firing with
her starboard battery at a distance of about
half a mile. She fired several broadsides,
when the Kearsarge also opened fire with
her starboard guns, and a sharp engagement,
with rapid firing from both ships, was kept
up, both shot and shell beiug discharged.
In the maneuvering both vessels made seven
complete circles at a distance of about a
quarter to half a mile. At 12 o'clock the
firing from the Alabama was observed to
slacken, and she appeared to be making
head sail and '.draping her course to land,
which was distant abut 'J miles. At 12:30
the rebel pirate vessel was in a dis; bled con
dition and in a sinking state. She went
down a few minutes later, carrying with her
some o :' her crew. The English steam yacht
Dcci hound was near by and picked up a
number of the Alabama's crew, including
Semmes aud thirteen officers. The boats of
the Kearsarge picked up the remainder of
the crew. The Kearsarge and Alabama
were of about equal tonnage, and threw a
bout an equal weight of metal from their
guns. This fight is a glorious triumph for
the American arms, and is hailed with joy
at home and abroad.
The following dispatch has been received',
by the Navy Department, from Captain
Wiaslow, announcing his victory over the
Pirate Cf-ptain Semmes :
U. S. Steamer Kearsakge, June 10,
Ts'i l. Sih : I liave the" honor to inform ihe
Depai tmcTit that the day subsequent to the
arrival of the Kearsarge off this port on the
Mth inst. I received a note from Captain
Senimes, begging that the Kearsarge would
not depart, its hcuntended to light her, and
would not delav. her but a day or two. Ac
eordifsc to this notice the Alabama left thej
port ot Cherbourg thL; morning at about
9:3'J o'clock. At about 10:20 a. m. we dis
covered her steering towards "as. Fearing
the question of jurisdiction we steamed to
sea until a dl-tanee of 6 or 7 miles was ob
tr.nx.d from the Cherbourg breakwater,
when we rounded to and commenced stear
ing for the Alabama. As we anmoached
her, within about 1,200 yards, sbe opened
fire, v;e receiving two or three broadsides be
fore a chat was leturned. The action con
tinued, the respective steaniersinakins a cir
cle round and round at the distance of rbout
900 yards from each other. At the expira
tion of an hour, the Alabama struck her
Hag and went down in about twenty minutes
afterwards, carrying many persons with her.
It affords me great gratification to announce
that all did their duty, and exhibiting cool
ness which gave promise at the outset of
certain victory.
I have the honor to be most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Jxo. A. Winslow, Captain.
To Hon. G. Welles, Sec't. of the Navy.
Later advices state that the Deerhound,
immediately upon licking up such of the
Alabama's crew as fell in its way, sailed for
shore and landed the rebels on British soil,in
steadof delivering them to the victors as pris
oners. It is also stated that the rebel sym
pathizers in England and France are alxiar
to present Semmes with a splendid sword,
and that he will soon sail again in a new
"Alabama." If so, he bad better keep out
of range of Captain Winslow' s guns.
F?.trioti?m in the Chiith?3(
From the commencement of the rebellion,
says the Commercial, the churches, as a gen
eral thing, have been good fields f .r recruit
ing soldiers. The christian patrio.i.sm of the
land has shown conspicuously foi th. We are
glad to see its light blazing anew. 1 n New
York, the practical i!e;i of supplying the ar
mies with men has t: ken root, and bids fair to
bringibrth good fruits. By recruiting direct
ly for men, and by raising money to procure
substitutes, the churches of the land, through
a concerted effort, can of themselves keep
our armies full. What nobler cause can
there be than the cause of Liberty and Union?
It is fit for the churches everywhere, and we
hope we may yet see every church in the
north a recruiting station. A few public
spirited Chrisiains in each.'churtdi. says the
Tri'i,,e, thoroughly impressed with ihe ob
ligation of patriotism, may by a rripid and
generous effort calling for subscriptions
irom others, and heading the list themselves
start the patriotic zeal of their brethren
into full activity. Every church Is an organ
ization already iii full action ; the pastor
may with a few words call attention to the
subject ; and a heart seconding by two or
three energetic men will engage the zeal of
the church. Why may we not have a uni
versal effort, which shall insure, through
God's blessing, a "crowning mercy?"
