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."— GmeXe. Our (*temporary would confer a great favor on a large portion of the community porwei b publishing at length the speech of Mr. t, . from which the above remarks to be an extract. We read our exohanges. Deasocratin and Rapublicsa. 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 pendence. As a sample, we quote from the Richatood ,Emotimr; which says: "We at least. of the Confederacy, might to be satisfied with him, for la Asa petiraei ar 'spar gm* at toe org l / 4 b y44' i: Mlauclibi. ite Aar coal door that wen ewer*, Aprtei red-Jiat Liesibial oar axracit , competed coiliadifercax ato Airiest possiM, and =fry& brims nom's Coe 6iai patricidal.

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. Mather Great lON Ital 4. 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 aim . north-east of Harper's IFerry, bert hed all the Federal supplies and wounded taken away from it, and its rupture - was feared. There are no troops now defend ing Pennsylvania; very few- sit ton that can be sent westward; , and it will take Hunter nearly two weeiks to come fives Western Virginia.
