The Raid.
The country, and more especially the
State of Pennsylvania, was astounded
early last, week with reports that a force
of rebels,1 detached from Lee's main army
at Richmond, with effrontery unparalleled,
were marching up the Cumberland Valley,
with the expresj purpose of invading the
State! At first, we were all disposed to
dUcvedit the startling story. We had
" Keen so persistently assured that, through
the efforts of our cavalry, the roads lead
ing NoTth from Richmond had been dis
mantled and used up to the extent that to
transport troops in the direction of Wash
ington and Baltimore were an utter impos
sibility, that we had come to accept "as
truth the statement, and to firmly believe
'that invasion was indeed a thing altogether
out of the question. From this "sweet
dream of peace," however,.we were rudely
awakened on Monday or thereabout by the
rumor it was nothing more that several
hundred guerillas had crossed the Poto
mac into Maryland. Then came the
additional rumor that these guerillas were
only the advance guard of a rebel force
numbering fully five thousand. This
number was speedily increased, by rumor,
to fifteen thousand; and at length thirty
thousand was given as the very lowest
figure at which the invading force could
be estimated. Meantime, Governor Cur
tin, acting under instructions from the
. General Government, had issued, on one
day, a calf for twelve thousand volunteer
infantry, "to serve for one hundred, days
at Washington and its vicinity" and
another call, the next day, for twelve
thousand more militia, for a like term, "to
CRrvo in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and
Washington and its vicinity." . This did
cot deter the foe from marching up to and
occupying Hagerstown. When they had
reached this point, they seemed to have
attained the height of their ambition,
for, after a very brief sojourn, they turned
tail, did this several-huudred-fivc-thousand-fifteen-thousand-thirty-thoufland
army of
graybacks, and, marching in a Southeas
terly direction, went to Frederick, where
.a battle was fought between them and a
Federal force under Geu. Wallace, result
ing in a defeat io the former. The battle,
" we were advised, was a summary "squelch
er as ta any hopes the iebcl3 may have
entertained of coming further North, and
it was said the only question engaging
their attention after it was the one touch
ing the best mode of a speedy exit South
ward. So we rtcd easy again.
The battle, ho'.vever, scetns to have been
anything else than a "squeleLer." . For
now wc have the nev3 that General Wal
lace, pressed by overwhelming uumbcrs,
has been obliged to evacuate FreJenek
and retreat back fn Baltimore! This
phase of .the invasion seems cot to be
rumor, but a stern, naked act. Read the
latest appeal ot the Governor: "
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, IlAPRISBrP.G,
Sunday, July 10, 1863.
Tn the Loyal Mrn cf the State:
I refer yea io inr rceen Proclamation call
ing for troops, on the rejuifcuiou of the Fres-'
ident. You tire not responding freely. The
enemies of our Government ara active in de
terring you, and efforts have been made to
dissuade from the belief .hat any considerable
cbel force is in your vicinity, and many of
tp; ttost I'-jnl and patriotic citizens hare
thus been deceived. Similar efforts were
too successfully made last year at the mo
ment when Lee's army was already on your
borders.
Dispatches have been received this morning,
establishing the fact that General Wallace,
with ten thousand men, was yesterday com
pelled to fall back from Frederick. He is
believed to be in retreat toward Baltimore.
The communications between this point and
Baltimore was cut this morning by the rebels
below Cockejeville. The authorities of the
United States at Washington are so impressed
with the necessity of immediate effort that
they have this morning, by telegraph, auth
orized men to be mustered in by companies,
which they had' yesterday peremptorily re
fused. It is my duty to state to you the fact tUp.t
your country requires your immediate service,
and the safety of your own State and of our
good neighbors iu Maryland may. depend on
yonr promptness. Recollect the mode 'of
enlisting men is at the discretion of the gov
ernment, and it is the duty of all to obey its
requisition. It would-be disgraceful to you
to.wftst time objecting to meters of form
and detail, a3 to profess that yem would go if
called in some different way. Those who
want an excuse for skulking may do so, but
all who desire to do their duty to their coun
try will scorn such subterfuges. Turn, there
fore, a deaf ear to all mischievous suggestions
from any quarter. Do not lend yourselves to
a betrayal of your country. ' Come forward
like men to aid her. The rebel force will be
easily defeated and driven away, if -you do
your duty, and I pray God so to enlighten
you that the honor of the Commonwealth may
be maintained. A. G. CURTIN.
It is believed that the rebels are in
large force, and that their real intention
is not the invasion of Pennsylvania, but
tho capture of Baltimore and Washing
ton! In view of the exigency, we hepe, sin
cerely hope that every able-bodied man
will respond manfully to the proclamation
of the Governor. Now is the hour to
render your country an everlasting ser
vice. This is the last attempt of the
rebels, and it they are thoroughly defeated
now, the war must bo virtually at an end.
If you love your country, shew it. To
arms ! to arms !
Since the foregoing was written, the
news ha3 reached us that a small force of
the rebels havo tapped the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore railroad at
Magnolia, burning bridges, destroying
property and playing sad havoc generally.
The Northern Central had belore been
tapped. This virtually severs communi
cation between tho loyal North and the
Federal' Capitol ! : .-

On motion of Mr. Campbellthe nomi
nations closed. .
Mr. Campbell offered the following pre
amble and resolution, which was read,
considered and adopted:
"In view of the incalculable importance
of the approaching election for national
officers, at a time when the verycxisteu.ee
of the government might depecd upon a
single vote in Congtess, when union and
harmony in . the . ranks of the,.National
Uuion party are everything, and the iudir
vidual claims and interests of any aspi
rant or candidate for nomination, in com
parison, nothing ; when any attempt, to
press individual interests to an'cxtent that
would mar the harmony of toe Union
movement would be little less than treason
to our holy cause, it is deemed to be
right and reasonable that every caudidate
seeking a nomination for Congress Ehould
rise above every thing like mere selfish
ness, and . assume and .occupy high and
patriotic ground. Be it therei'ore litsolccJ,
that tha : gentlemen whose names are
before this Conference seeking the confi
dence of the National Union party of this
district, whith'we represent, be respect
fully requested to prove themselves worthy
of the confidence they seek, .by giving in
advance their written pledgef unwaver
ing devotion to the cause in any result of
our deliberations, and to give a cordial
and hearty support to the nominee, who
ever he may be."
Mr. M'Vitty moved that a committee
of four be appointed to wait upon the
gentlemen placed ; in nomination, and
inform them of the adoption of the fore
going resolution, which beinc agreed to,
tho chair appointed Messrs M'Vitty,
Campbell, M'Camant and Roberts, said
committee; which committee, having re
tired for a time, returned and reported
the following pledge:
We, the undersigned, candidates for nomi
nation for Congress, hereby pledge our unwa
vering devotion to the cause of our country,
and we will give our cordiul and hearty sup

The Alabama Sunk! '
.A late steamer brought the news that
the . pirate Alabama had sailed out of
Cherbourg to fight the Federal steamer
Kearsage, which had been for some time
waiting for her but a little distance out
side. By .the last arrival wft have the
result of. the fight in tho announcement
that . the pirate was sent to tho bottom,
and. that the Kearsage sustained but lit
tle damage. The only drawback to this
agreeable intelligence is that Semmes, who
commanded the pirate, escaped through
the assistance of English sympathizers,
who doubtless went out to see him sink
the Union vessel and. congratulate him on
his achievement. It is altogether proper
that Englishmen should be at hand with
congratulations or sympathy according to
the.circumsfcuncos, which in this instance,
it must be confessed, wero unlucky.
The commanding officer of the Kear
sage deserves the thanks of his Govern
ment and country, for having rid the seas
of a .vessel which, though petted in al
most every port, was nevertheless a pirate.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
3y the President:
William U: Seward, Secy, of State.
The Change In the Cabinet.
Resigned his portfolio of office Hon.
Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treas
ury; appointed to fill the vacancy,
Senator Wm. P.. Fessenden, of Maine.
It is the universal conviction, says the
Philadelphia Vbm, that no man is better
fitted than Mr. Fessenden for the position
vacated by Mr. Chase, and. his appoint
ment and confirmation have already satis
fied and re-assured the public. In 1840,
Mr. Fessenden first appeared prominently
before the country, being then elected to
Congres. . In 1851, he became, and has
since remained, a Senator of the-United
States. He was born in New Hampshire
in 1806, and now in . his fifty eighth
year. Upon his record as a public man,
and a private citizen, there is not a 'blot.
We regret the resignation of Mr. Chase;
we rejoice iu the appointment of Mr. Fes
senden, because we know that the finan
cial interests of the country will remain
under the direction of a master mind, and
because the new member of the Cabinet L
a statesman.
As the chairman of the Senate Com
mittee of Finance, Mr. Fessenden has bo
clearly explained his opinions that his
future policy is not matter ot doubt. He
has consistently declared taxation, propor
tionate to the expenses of the war, to be
the only method of escaping financial ruin.
All bills to iuerease the national revenue
by legitimate taxation have had his earn
est support; he Las so strongly insisted
on the necessity of taxation that his first
act as Secretary of the Treasury will un
questionably be to submit to Congress .a
tax bill which, if properly enforced, will
greatly diminish the gulf whieh. now
gapes between the expenditure and rev
enue of the Government. Thus, by na
tural ability, experience, and the "poajes-
sion of a sound financial theory, Mr. Fc"
fenden entitled to the confidence "cf
country. There is another reason wh
he may be expected to make an efSciett
Secretary: Against him, as yet, haT8
net been leveled the political enmiti tU
vast and secret combination., which hare
been to Mr. Chase,for more than a year
?erpetual embarrassment and burden -i
Tntrammelei, and almost unopposed fc"
enters the Cabinet ; yet it is too rouch to
expect that he will not soon be the aart
of the open and secret foes of the Govern
ment. It is well to anticipate a Kttle anjj
to-eay to loyal men that, if they want good
officers, and an effective Admmutration
they must stand firm in the support of
their chosen leaders.. ,
That none ; but a radical anti-slaverr
man would be the successor of Mr. Ch'ase
was' taken for granted by the country ft
could not be otherwise. - It was neceR$Ua.
ted by tho .declarations of the Baltimore
Convention", the spirit of the people, the
safety of the Republic, Theodore ParUr
said that compromise was the American
devil. .Wc believe that Mr. Fessfinden
will maintain, to the full extent of his
power, that in the face of a cruel and tin
relenting pro-slavery rebellion cotiierva
tism is simply a folly and a curse, and
that the solitary salvation of the Unioaia
the radicalism of its friends.
