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. Thereasons for the

fresh attack on Maryland, or rather on Pennsy.

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 Not th. 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

Strition. 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 j3how 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 Perr3sville, 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 1; filled 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
