Now that Seeretary Chase is out of offioe
and has no more patronage to bestow,
many of the papers and politicians which
before sustained him, have, to - use Old
Abe's model expression, "turned tail and
run" into the rankle of his enemies. Elton
those that still make a pretence of ,
lining
friendly to him " damn him with -faint
ptaise"--so -faint indeed that we - find it
hard to decide whether it is really inten
ded. for compliment or sarossin. Ai a
specimen of the general style we quote
the following from the Philadelphia &Be-
Caistat ix Tax • Casiirr.—Han. Salm l bn
P. Chase has imigned the secretaryship
of the Treasury. and Hon. David Tod, of
Ohio, succeeds him. Thii intelligenoe will
take the country by surprise, but Ise believe'
Quill be /mid that tee Aug* is submitageous.
Mr. Chase has shown great ability. bat it is
not to be (taxied that ale kis lost the confide= of
many leading financial Wen in tRe artillery. The
news.reaches ns too late for detailed com
ment.
Mr. Chase will doubtless find the infor
mation very consoling that, although he
"hu shown great Ability," yet "it will be
found that the change is advantageous."
Perhaps, too, like Mr. Lineoln, he will be
reminded of a little story—something, for
instance, like that of the. honest Quaker,
who. about te'discharge one of his hands,
wished to do it in the least offensive Way.
and thus remarked to him : ". William,
thou hest served me long and well ; , thou
halt tended faithfully to the cattle; thou
had been one of my best hands ; but the
fact is, William—that is, William—met
thinks it will do thee some good to go
about the world a little." But if the Bul
letin's treatment of the Ex-Secretary is un
kind, what will he think of the following
broadside ffom 'the Albany Journd, over
the familiar signature of the old wsr•hor?e
of Republicanistn. in that State, Thurlow:
Weed ?
The people will breathe more freely—
hope. almost worn out, will revive with
the intelligence of to-asp-11r. Chase out
of. and Governor Tod in. the Tressary- De
partment ! Heaven be raised tor this
gleam of national sunshine. It is more
precious even than a military victory. It
is a glorious fit:and:l_l achievement. Tlie
long. weary day of despotism Is over. One
clog is removed. A MUM saw did yi..x dine
a res:o/.460n rj o'4 Liiio/i is cut of tlm (.74.6ine.
We. begin now to penetrate the darkness
which has so long shrouded the political
horizon. T. W.
One cannot help but reflebt with what a
howl of indignation the wholi, radicalpack
would have set upon any Democratic pa
per that would hal , e used such, language
as that previous to the Secretary's resig
nation. The Abolition dictionary of bil
lingsgate would have been let loose upon
it without stint, and it would have.been
regarded as a rare interposition of Provi
dence if ,the "disloyil sheet" had not been
suppressed, and its "sympathizing" editors
sent to Fort Lafayette, Presto, ape—the
lion is dead, and the r very creatures that
almost smothered him with their caresses
are now engaged in kicking his decaying
canna.
Not many days sinee we beard from the
lips of en Feie county Democrat expres
'ions of fear that the "country would be
ruined if Abraham Lincoln should be re
elected." He was a Democrat, not of the
Daniel S. Dickenson but of the James
Buchanan stripe. We beg to commend
to him. and to all of his way' of thinking,
the remark of Hon. J. L. M. Qtrry, the
secession leader in Alabama, in a recent
speech, that "if Lincoln should be re
elected our fond .hopes will be dashed to
_ the ground." In other words. if Mr. Lin
coln is retained, in his present potation
longer than the 4th of Mare next, the
rebellion will prove a signal failure."—

Our (*temporary would confer a great
favor on a large portion of the community

very carefully. and do not remember ever
seeing. any remarks of that or a aimilar
cheracter ever attributed to a leading rebel
by any reputable scoria On the contrary.
all the public es:prosaic= of prominent
Southern speakers and editors concur in
the opinion that Lincoln has been their
"best friend," and that him' reelection
mould inevitably accomplish their inde

the Richatood ,Emotimr; which says: "We

The striking out of :the ernismufithan
clause from the conscription not by the
Howe of Represeatatities ftrrnishes a con
spicuous instance - or the"
naremsentative character of that ihedy.
Bet a few daysby a vote of L i no to
one,• it re fi ned' tq abolish the principle of
tensitatancw; mind itatialliti
ed by every considerable organ of :public
opinion in•the North. Were the members
of the Republican party polled to-niurruw,
nineteen to twenty would vote Sgainst
striking out the three hundred dollar com
mutation clause ; yet, in the face of ibis all
but unanimous public opinion, and with
its own record committed to the same
view, the House covered itself with con
tempt and 'popular odium at the edict ef .
the War Department. One of the most
disheartening signs of the times is the ut
ter want of character and independende
in the two Houses of Congress. They have
become mere appendages or registering
bureaus of the Treasury and War Depart
ments. Secretary Chase can propose noth
ing so absurd in the *ay of financial mea
sures that, they will not indorae,ner Secre
tary Stanton anything so unpoptdar that
it is not meekly acquiesced in. i Ameri
cans, the world over, have abundant rea
son to-hang theii heads for shame at the
contemptible specimen of a Congress
which is now abont adjourning in Wash
ington.
It. is not to be disguised that the whole
country is thoroughly alarmed and disgus
ted at these incessant calls for more sol
diers, in view of Senator Wilson's official
statement that seven hundreed thousand
men have been enlisted or resonlisted-into
our armies since the lith of October.last.
As these were in addition to the troops
already in the field, every one iA asking
where, in the name of wonder, has this
vast multitude of men gone to? A million'
of men properly handled and husbanded'
shonld be sufficient to conquer the whole
continent from Greenland to Patagonia;
yet - this wretched, blundering ; :wasteful
Administration has had nearlyqtWo mil
lions of men altogether, and wet seem to
be as far off from final victory over the
Sauth as ever. In truth, this rel i ance up
on mere numbers is a signal proof of the
eitentiat weakness of our-military *Amin !.
Ist ration . It was not - thncuyriads of Xerxes
which always prevailed: the skill and
bravery of the Greeks 'who"opposed were
more than a match for them. The nation
cannot stand these terrible drain upon its
population, and any one caw see• l that. one
year more of this fearful waste of human
life will produce exhaustion and 'lead to
an enforced peace.—World.

The rebels have undertaken another
raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Their force, at first estimated aOront five
to twelve thousand, was, by last_:dispstch
" es, fixed at thirty thousand. including an
entire corps of Lee's army. It is led by
Gen. Early, who succeeds Ewell in com
mand of. Stonewall JacksOn's division.
The rebels first marched' on Martins urg.
on the line of the Baltimore & Ohio here
General Sigel was posted'wit a small
force. The 'latter hastily evacuated the
town, which was immedistelyl seised by
the rebels, who then destroyed all the
railroad track and property in the vicini
ty. Sigel took up a position at ;Maryland
Heights. opposite Harper's Ferry, where
the rebels quickly followed him, and at
last accounts they were 'beiseiging the
place,- - He has been joined by considera
ble reinforcements; and it is believed can
hold out until assistance is obtained. A
small force of rebels has been posted at
Point of Rocks. where they command the
railroad for,* long distance and prevent
Sigel from getting relief by of Wash
ington. i • •

When Ou r accounts closed, the following
was the position of affairs t The Confeder
ates were in the town of, Harper's Ferry
on the south bank and on the bills arannd
it. A force was at Bharpsburgosit-Miles
north. and another coating towesd Sharps
burg from 'Falling Waters. • Hagersnsrn,
ten miles north of A:ha/paha*, had been
abandoned, and was believed. ;to be held
by the Confedesoun. Frederick, fifteen

hed all the Federal supplies and wounded
taken away from it, and its rupture - was
feared. There are no troops now defend

and it will
