STATE RENOVATION.

The problem Of recreating and relnstltutlns
a State which Las committed suicide by re-
belion, is one Of the very gravest. il is not
to be settled ofhand, nor yet by blind de-
nuncaton OF unwelcomc views 1t taxes the
clearest intellect, the coolest Judgment OF the
Nation; and every eminent loyal mind should
be occupied with ts solution. so far from
discouraging or deprecating the expression Of
positive views, every one should be urged 10
shed upon it whatever light he may possess.
The Rebel theory makes the States supreme
and practically omnipotent. Secession, says
JEFF Davis, is only " the dissolution OF Il
league" just as Austria in 1913 detached
herself from the side OF Napoleon and
Joined her forces to those Of his Allied enemies.
According 10 this theory, any State IN the
Union may, IN time OF war, abandon the Ma
ton and JON her arms to those Of IT'S deadly
foes, yet no one OF her citizens 10 guilty Of
treason to the Union; though any Of them
VINO should refuse 10 BIO thus made over. aud
should Stubbornly adhere to the Republic, would
thereby make himself traitor 10 his State,
T.
And, though it las been usual to assembls q
Convention to take a State out Of the Union,
that is formula 10 be observed or dispensed
with at the discretion OF the State herself. II
the Governor OF Maryland should Tomorrow
see ct to send u Message 10 her Legislature
recommending Secession, and tho Legislature
should adopt his suggestion, the State would
ihereupOn DO cut OF the Union, aud every
Marian who thereafter adhered to the
Union would BIS pestilent traitor liable and
exposed to condisn punishment This theory
las at least the merit ol beng simple anC
easily understood. II makes us thirty
Confedcrated Republics in 1860, aud 50 many
disuDited, otherwise leagued, and hostile na
ti0ns in 1862.
The counter theory, which ia widely stigma
TIED as "ultra" or radical, holds that ;
State may forfeit her rights under the Union
but caunot repudate her obligations thereto;
just as citizen may forfeit political rights OIL
franchises by felony, yet can nowise throw OF
his obligation to obey and aphOld the laws
According to this theory, State may Sc
plunge into and attaint herself by treason Is {,
diyest herself for the time, Of oil rightfu
power al independent existence. Her terri
tory is still within and portion Of tho Repub
lie; but her Government, having been perverted
by treason into potent engine Of National in
Jury aud ruin, has justly forfeited It's right Il
be. It's authority has ceased, its powers bay'
lspsod BY frequent misrule; the authority an'
Law, Of the Nation alOQe remain vital ap'

We are still without any finally -dee syo
news from Island No. 10. Word from Gen.
Pope, early on WedneSdsy-if our dates, which
are somewhat confused, do not mlslead us--
says that up to that time the firing bad been
almost without iutermsson, but that then it
materially slackened Another dispatch from
Columbus, states that at noon on Tuesday very
heavy firing was heard in the direction Of the
island IT is stated that Gen. Pope had re-
pulsed the Rebel gunb0ats at New.Madrid,
sinking one of them, and much damaging
Others.
We hear of formidable gathering Of Union
Quuboats at Savannah, on the Tennessee River;
AZ Corinth, Mississippi, aud Decatur, Ala,
the Rebels are concentrating in strength, num-
boring. as it ia believed, 10000. Au important
fight is looked for in that vicinity soon.

corning the Newbern victory, is published al

WAsnINoroN, Dec. 20.
On the application Of Senator Latham,
Of California, the Navy Department has
ordered the armed steamer q A'onnccticu,
to leave Hampton roads on the lst Of
January next for Aspinwall, 10 bring to
New York all the treasure at that place
from the Pacific coast.
Senator Latham hopes to obtain from
the Navy Department regular armed
convoy for California steamers from As.
pinwal The subject is now under con
sidcration.
There was great excitement in A'cx-
andria yesterday evening, growing ont
of the hurried arrival there Of several of
our cavalry men and tcamstcrs, the latter
being mounted on horses, cut from their
wagons.
They represented that Stnart's rebel
cavalry, with some light artillery, appear
ed at Perhick Church, several miles from
Mount Vernon, on Saturday night, and
on Sunday proceeded to Acatonk, which
is only II miles from Alexandria, and
there attacked two or three companies OF
our troops, aud captured u wagon train
at Occaton on Sunday. There is diff
Guilty in arriving At the precise truth,
owing TO the many conflicting rnmors in
regard 10 the matter, but that rcbol re.
connoissaoce appeared in that neighboi-
hood is beyond question, and that the
rebels created much alarm is equally GER
tain.
Military men, who have scen an offl
c;al telegram from Dumfries, say it was
the same rebel force which, several miles
from that place, made = reconnaissance,
driving in our cavalry pickets, and killing
three or four Of them.
The rebels, fearing capture by our
troops, which at one time was probable,
left for Occoquan and Acconnk, where
they made their alarming demonstrations
Due allowancc, it is claimed. must be
made for the statements Of frightened
teainstcrs and otheis. All such accounts
are unautho,lativeIy exaggerated.
Consignees Of treasure should imme-
diately send authority to the Navy DE
partmcnt, so that the commander Of the
Connecticut can obtain tho treasure at
Aspinwall.
The official information received by
the steamer Of this week from Europe re-
flutes the idea Of I 9 probability OF xny
disturbance of our relations with any of
the European powers.

The following is the Stars version Of
the last rebel raid:
a rebel force Of cavalry, with battery
of artillery, suddenly appeared at p.
NJ. on Saturday in front of Dumfrics,
held BY our 57th and Goth Ohio, with
two pieces of McGasay's battery. The
rebels were at first estimated at 1000.
They cut the wires leading to Falmouth,
attacked our troops, who had three men
killed, and were driven or
In the meanwhile information reached
these headquarters by telegraph before
they cut the wires leading in this di-
rce,lon. Troops from this quarter were
instantly in motion, If possible TO cut
Oft their retreat.
To that end Gen. Geary marched from
Wolf ltnn immediately. TO the relief Of
the troops engaged M Dumfrcs. After
being worstsd, before Gcnry's arrival,
they pushed directly for Occoouan, where
they Ind slight engagement will, 800

Gauby, resulting ia slight loss on both

They ncxt proceeded up Bull Run, cross
ed il mt Wolf Run, thence they went 10
Anuandale, via banks Station, where
they cncamped on Saturday. where
we had troops. At daylight yes
iorday, they wc,c again IN tho saddle.
Our troops at Fairfax did their best to
head them of in that direction, but be-
ing Infantry could not get up in timc
to do 80. They were lant secp in the
vicinity OF lcsinsburg, where their mum
Der was estimated mt but | 200 cavalry
and four pieces Of artillery. At night
fall yesterday they were under whip aud
spur, evidently bent on escaping IN the
direction oi Lccsburg. Tuey certainly
got nothing for Their pains but fifteen
empty wagons belonging to Col Kel-
losg's cavalry Throughout the line Of
their raid they had occasional skir-
mlsbing with Col. Keilogg's cavalry,
who, though forced 10 fall back, eA-
changed many shots with no damage to
his command. Ills last skirmish with
them was Mt Accotonk. At one time
they had possession OF ono Of our guns
ut Dunfrles, but were .orccd to aban-
don i 10 us again IN their retreat.
