THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 23, 1862.

A Confederate raid through Maryland into Penn-
sylvania, a fierce battle in Kentucky, with the usual
Federal report of the enemy repulsed, though con-
fessing to severe loss, is the result of the military
news by the City of Baltimore. The reasons for the
fresh attack on Maryland, or rather on Pennsyl-
vania, we are left to conjecture, but they can be in
no way difficult to divine. The Southern troops
are known to be in the greatest want of all things,
and therefore desire to supply themselves at the cost
of the North. Maryland, they do not wish to offend,
for she is a slave State though a border State : the
active STUART crosses the Potomac, therefore, at a
part where it nearly approaches the borders of
Pennsylvania, rides through the Slave State into
the wealthy Free State, and takes possession of
two undefended small towns. The principal
booty is mentioned as five hundred horses ; the
chief damage the destruction of a Railway
Station. Besides the plunder and destruction
the Confederates doubtless think it worth while to
keep up the prestige of the first invasion of Mary-
land, to show that they were not too much cut up
at Antietam Creek, to be the first to resume opera-
tions, and altogether to exhibit a bold front.
For the affair in Kentucky, indebted as we are
to Mr. STANTON only for our knowledge, it is
im-
possible to accept his statements without adding a
large percentage to the Federal disadvantage. The
battle was fought at Perrysville, nearly in the
centre of the State. Desperate fighting commonly
means that the Federals had, at least, all they could
do to hold their ground. The numbers engaged
appear to have been about 18,000 on each side.
The Federals confess to a loss of 2,000 h illed and
wounded, including many valuable officers ; also to
momentary defeat on their left ; for once it is not
added that the loss of the enemy was double their
own ; if it were as great or greater, it ought to
have been known, provided BUELL'S report be
correct, that the enemy were repulsed and fell
back. If the account of the Confederate General
:MORGAN being routed by DUMONT, and having to
fall back from Frankfort • and Louisville towards
Cumberland Gap, in the south-east corner of Ken-
tucky, be correct, Kentucky must have been pretty
'well cleared of Confederate troops by the two Fede-
ral Generals DUMONT and BUELL. The only body
of
tile rn remaining would be these whom BUELL
d
had riven from Per rysville to Harrodsburg, and
Dumo N •
T Would be at liberty, by the rout of MoR-
GAN> to unite with BUELL and drive BRAGG out of
the State. Such ist the position of things in the
Y s
large and wealthy State
e of Kentucky, according to
Federal statements,
must subtract from the
representation sucV
discount as we think proper
for information endor,le
d byalways Mr. Secretary STAN TON.
One thing
must always be borne in mind. In
Border States, like
Kentucky,
ky,the slaveholders are
part of
the fierce, brutal, savage
the population ; all
the ruffianism of such States is
naturallyit was at their
command ; just as it was in Missouri when
at-
tempted by these w..etches to crush freedom there.t
Hence, the Confederates find a supply in
enu
of savages ready for any deed of blood, while the
decent part of the inhabitants do not rise to arms
unless under strong provocation. This fact, of all
the villany and ruffianism of the Border States
being at the command of slaveholders, gives the
South an appearance of greater influence in those
States than it really possesses. Ali the better por-
tion of the people are opp-)sed to the war, and are
quiet and little heard of. The ruffians, armed by
rabid slaveholders, rake themselves conspicuous

enough.
When we turn to more general views of
the position of affai ;xs, there is much that looks
dark on both sides. ' Pile North finds its paper rapidly
a
ei.reeiating, and th. e, premium on gold has, without
