Banks Retreat into Maryland,

The uninterrupted series of Union victories
which il has been our pleasure to herald for the
last two months, has at last been broken by u
defeat, and an unexpected one in its resulst.
Gen. Banks, after having advanced one hundred
or one hundred aud fifty miles into Virginia,
has for the last week been rapidly falling back
in the face of an immensely superior force of
the enemy until at last lac has been compelled,
after hard fought battle, to make u hasty and
complete retreat into Maryland, and the rebels
are again ON tho south side OF the Potomac,
threatening Maryland, Gen. Banks dispatch
shows that all this happened because he had too
few troops to oppose to the large force of the
rebels. Why his force mas been thus weakened,
we do not now care to inquire The fact is sui
hcieat. and furnishes an emphatic endorsement
of the call for mere troops. We trust
troops can be Immediately despatched to the
upper Potomac, AS it ls apparent that they are
needed there ut once. Rebellion is not yet dead,
We regret to say, and it will gain much courage
rom this success We hope, however, that it is
the last rebel victory we shall be compelled to
record.

Homes for the Industrious.

The homestead Bill which has Just passed
Congress and received the Presidents signature
we are convinced will prove "A measure of great
good to the country, and will be a most decisive
weapon against Slavery and slave labor. It's
provisions are substantially as follows
Any person who is the head Of family, or who
isoyer q years Of age, who j. a citizen of the
United States, or who has taken the necessary
steps to become such, and who has never borne
arms against the government, or given aid and
comfort to its enemies will after the first Off
next be entitled TO enter one quarter section
goo acres, or less, Of unappropriacd public
land subject to presumption at S ,25 or less per
acre or 50 acres of $3.50 land.
In order to secure a perpetual patent or title
to this land, the person who has entered it must
have lived upon it, without an absence Of more
than SIX months at time, the term Of years
1t is to be exempt from attachment for any debts
contracted prior to the entering Of the land.
Any person who has served, or may hereafter
serve, in the army or navy 81 the United State
for "a term not e,s than fourteen days, is to be
entitled to land as above, whether he il twenty
one years Of age or not 1t also provides tina
no person shall, by any means whatever, acquire
more than one quarter section.
What an opportunity this bill holds forth t.
the vast army Of Northern freemen now in thu
field, when armed rebels, and the rule Of slay
depotsm, shall have been forever crushed GU
from our vast country, to turn their " sword
into pow-shares and their spears into pruning

Unconditional Unlonism.

We by no means subscribe to everything
that Parson Bmwulow says, but as one who has
suffered lndescihby for devotion to the Union,
who has been hunted, prosecuted, and nearly
killed by the mhmal spirits OF secession, and
who has been hrolgh il all an unconditional
Union man, he brings with his opinions ol the
best policy to unemployed in treating the re-
bellon sincerity OF purpose and love OF
country that have been tried as by lire, and
should have weiuht with the Government and
with the people Ii determining the course to be
pursued in putting down treason In his recent
speech IN Boston, be defined his own position as
follows
While | am upon this slavery question, may
as well say all intend to say Oh the SUBJECT,
and that Is this am the advocate Of the Fed
erol Goyernmentand the army, guarantylnG to
all the loyal linen ia the South, eyerywhere-well
established and well authenticated loyal men,
true to the Union ana the flag OF our country
their title alright in ana to all of their prop
erty -(applause) personal aud real, including,
II you please, thelr negroes. (AppMuse) |
belleVe at the same time IT Is the bounden ana
solemn duty Of the Government to conhscate
everything in the South owned by rebels-lan1s,
moneys negroes and everything, (grcat APP
pause), and although am d pro-slayery man,
and have been all my life an advocate OF the
peculiar institution, | am here before you this
evening prepared to say what | say az home,
and what | have said all the time, that II the
South in their madness and folly-lor the whole
South Is mad and drunk, crazy and deranged-
II they III their mad zeal aud folly press upon
this country the issue OF no slavery and the
Union, or no Union and slavery, | am for the
Union II it exterminates every institution in the
South. tremendous applause.)
How little Of such Unionism as this Of Brown
lows has been found in the Border States the
history of this rebellion thus far most lamenta'
bly, shows. We have been favored with any
quantity Of the Garrett Davis and Powell style
the Government while the Government pursuei
It's particular line Of policy, but threatens IT At
soon as it listens to anybody else We have
also been satated with the compromising Tn.
ionism OF such men as Crittenden, who hav,
been from the outset, aud are STILL in favor O
putting down rebellion by compromising with
traitors but of the unconditional Unionism
that which goes for the Old Flag at all risks
under all circumstances, and in all peris, the
Boz der States have furnished few such shining
examples as Parson Brownlow, And those who
have suffered as he has, begin to understand
that treason is crime, and that Government
mas something to do besides pardoning the lnfu
rated traitors who have so prosecuted the few
who were found faithful when the multitude
went with the rebellion

The CALL ON VERMONT FOR ANOTHER REGIMENT

The CALL ON VERMONT FOR ANOTHER REGIMENT.
Elsewhere will be found the call Of Capt.
Mower, the recruiting officer for Washington
County, for volunteers TO fill up the Ninth Yer
mont Regiment. We hope the response will be
instantly and fully made, and that twenty days
will not pass before he can report his company
full. Ii there was the least doubt last week
OF the pressing need of more troops TO put down
the rebellion, the news of Gen. Banks defeat
and retreat into Maryland would Of itself re-
move any such doubt. When the wants Of the
service are such that 1000 men are left TO de-
fend and hold the Shenandoah Valley, it needs
no iuytner facts to show that more mcn are
want-i And let Vermont now, as heretofore,
give to the General Government at once all that
is required Of der. Volunteers, rally once more

The State of Georgia has substantially paid in the
balance due by her. and the State of South Carolina
has paid the whole amount due by her into the
Treasury in the form of six per cent call certificates.
But as the final settlement has not yet taken place,
the certificates have not as yet been delivered up,
and the account is not yet closed. The returns
from the States of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas and Texas have not been returned in COM
plete. The two former States have, nevertheless,
paid the taxes in advance.
From the documents furnished it appears that the
States of North Carolina and Alabama have over
paid their respective assessments, and l will ask
leave to submit an estimate Of the amounts to DO
refunded them as soon as the complete returns shall
be received.
The collection of the war tax has presented sew
eral difficulties, which it is proper that Congress
should have in view, whenever further tax shall
be levied. These difficulties are presented together
in report from the Chief Clerk of the War Tax
Office, copy of which is herewith respectfully sub
mitteo. 1t is also proper to state that BY Judg-
ment of the District Judge of South Carolina, money
invested in State bonds has been excepted from the
war tax. An appeal has been ordered from this
judgment, but as no Supreme Court has yet been
organized, the effect of the judgment will be to re-
lease from any future tax all moneys invested in
this form in South Carolina, or in any other State
wherein the District Judge may hold the same opln'
ion.
Since the last meeting of Congress have appoint
ed three new places of deposit for public moneys,
one at Galveston, Texas, at Knoxville, Tennes-
see and one at Augusta, Georgia
The Assistant Treasurer at New Orleans has re-
moved his office for the time, to Jackson Mississip-
pi, and the depository at Mobile has made tempo
rary removal to Montgomery, Alabama.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
