Tar as our latest accounts would lead us to believe
Their advance guards have fallen back on Cen.
treville, and there were Indications yesterday Of
nasty retreat, marked by all the appearances Of n
panic, as though they expected an attack by the
Union army. The position of affairs around Wash
linton yesterday was marked by grand review Of
'he army OF the Potomac by General Mcclellan, in
which the President and most of the Cabinet mar
tcipated. The enthusiasm among the troops WAS
immense, and their appearance is described to
De most orderly and well disciplined. Apart from
this interesting event we have nothing new 70 re-
cord IL the vicinity of the national capital.
The Union spirit in Maryland appears to have
obtained fresh vigor from the runors of an attack
being made upon Washington in that direction
Home brigades for the defence of the soil of
Maryland and the protection of Washington are
reported as rapidly organizing in different parts of
the State.
We publish elsewhere the long expected report
OF the Union Defence Committee to the Common
Council 1t was presented and read at the meet
ing of the Committee held yesterday afternoon It
appears that $685. has been expended by the
Committee, of which $3.50 600 was given for the

aid of the militia regiments, 1852 ,424 in aid of

Is sufficient to prevent the passage of outward

LEGAL EMBARRAssMENTs OF Our TEooPs-We

at the seat OF war, by individuals having doubt
tul pecuniary claims against them, to institute
proceedings which have resulted in obtaining
Judgments, attachments, iniunctions, DC, which,
under the circumstances, must be regarded as
very vexatous and unpatriote. The times are
hard. 1t has become necessary for nearly every
one with moderate incomes, to economic ey-
penses, and to ask Indulgence from those to
whom they are indebted. If ever snch indul-
gene were proper and just, il is in the case Of
those who are pellling their lives and future
welfare, in fighting the battles OF the republic
and enGeavorng TO suppress rebellion and
restore the integrity of the Union. In Penn
syivario and other States, ''stay bills have
passed the local Legislatures, and oppressive
measure have been rendered illegal. The Le-
gislature OF this State is not now in session, but
public opinion should frown down the avari-
cious tyranny which is being so ruthlcssly ex-
ercised by mcrciless and unreasonable credi-
tors. Claims VIII be rendered none the less
available by reasonable delay, in enforcing
them, and this should certainly be granted to
the gallant absentees from our midst, on SER

KEEPING THE ConTON SAFE--We perceive thai
the cotton factors of Charleston have addressed
a circular to the planters of South Carolina,
submitting that as cotton, if sent to the sea-
ports, could not be exported, it would inconve-
niently crowd the stores and wharves, and the
ordinary risks of fire and robbery would he in
creased. They therefore recommend the
planters Of that and other States to send none
of their cotton to market until the blockade is
removed from all the Southern ports, but to
make arrangements to store il carefully under
their own sheds and gin houses. There is no
doubt that the chief object of this Is 10 prevent.
il possible, the capture of the cotton crop by
the United States forces. II is probably thought
down South that the storage Of any large
quantity of the fibre ut amy one port might
offer too great an inducemest to our ships-oi-
war to enter and take possession of it. But if
the rebels think that allowing It to remain on
the plantations will prevent our taking posses
sion Of it when the proper time comes they are
very much mistaken. 1t is quite immateral to
us whether it is stored on the plantations or at
the water side. Either viii be almost equally

THE PASSPORT system TX THE CANADIAN Boz
DEa.--The Introduction Of the passport system
was a very timely measure; but one feature ia
il appears to have escaped the attention Of Me
government, and that is, to extend its operation
along the Canadian frontier. II this is not done,
passports might as well not be required from
passengers arriving OF departing seward, for
all the rebel agents and other suspicious charac-
tens az check upon whose proceedings the
system has been introduced-would certainly
come and go by way OF Canada, there being
every facility for this, now that the steamers OF
the Montreal and Quebec line are running
weekly TO and from Europe. We therefor,
trust that the government will perceive the ne
cessity of making the same rule apply to Rouse
Point and other border railway stations a. to
