Another Raid into our County.

We learn from perfectly reliable source,
that, between six and seven clock, on Sun
day evening last about 10 Confederatcs, I'M
der command Of Major E. White, crossed the
Potomac at Edwards Ferry, and entered
Poolesville. DginmsGyice was in progress
at the time the Rev 5l9n II. Austin ofiiciat-
ing. \ sllarp contest lasting but a short
time, eusued, resulting in the capture, by the
Confsderatcs, of some twenty-five Federal
cayalry, whom they afterwards paroled. The
casualties, on the Federal side, were Sergeant
Stiles killed, and two others wounded. The
Confedakate loss was+one accidentally killed
by shot from one of his own cavalry, and
none wounded. They took thirty army re-
volrers, ffty-six cavalry horses with their
accoutrenents, and rctook some goods con-
fscated roma Door woman at Lecsburg-de-
stroyed two government wagons and about one
hundred guns; after which they re-crossed the
river.
The Confederate killed was buried, on Mon
day, by the citizens and the Federal taken
to Washington Sunday night.

TIE REPORTED ATTACK Oh IARPER's Ferry.
A rumor prevailed here yesterday, (says the
Baltimore Gaze1e, of Tuesday last, to the ei-
feet that llarper's Ferry had been attacked by
the Confcderatcs, which, however, proved in
correct. The report, no doubt, arose from the
fact that a raid was made during the day by
about four hundred Confederate cavalry, I'M
der Major White, Of Loudon county, upon
Loudou Heights. The only result Of this raid
was the capture Of an encampment used for hos
pi,al purposes, IN which were abou, FIVE hun
dred sick soldiers, who were paroed by Major
White. The Coufederates then seized few
wagons and left going towards Chahestown.
squad Of cavalry was sent after them BY
the commander but with what success is not
known. There were no bridges burnt by The
Confederate, nor was the railroad track torn
up by them.

Es- IoH, the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore SUy, under date of Wednesday
last, writes:
1t is remarked that since The military check
received by the army under Cen Burnside
the radical republicans in congress have be-
come more violent and desperate than before
As an evidence Of this, the House adopted
resolution on Monday, by large majority
approving Of the proclamation Of the 22d Of
September as war measure, thus holding the
President to his promise that it shall be car
ried into effect on the first of January. A re-
publican consultation was to be held last
night upon the subject of the failure conduct
Of the war and the command Of the army.
The indications are that the appointment of
Gen. Fremont as commander-in-clief will be
insisted upon. for the reason that the procla-.
nation must be enforced by one of its advo-
cafes.
Fifteen hundred wounded men werebrouhtup
to-day aud others are 10 be taken from Aqua
Creek to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and other places, by transports engaged for
the purpose. Wen advised persons estimate
the loss in killed and wounded at twenty-five
thousand,

RGsiorn ton of the South.

In spite Of constantly recurring deceptions
and that deferring of hope which maketh the
heart sick many still cling to the idea that the
restoration of the South is within the compass
of the means prepared for its accomplishment
by the patriotism and energy Of tho people
So 1t would be were those mcars handled with
anything like commensurate earnesiness and
integrity Of purpose by those to whom the
desinics Of tie nation arc entrusted.
When however we again witness the failure,
through the same causes that hampered McClel-
lan's movements after the battle Of ARtctam,
OF Burnside's sudden and skiliully projected
advance upon Richmond by the way Of Fredcr-
icksburg, and learn through the organs Of the
administration that il is now contemplated to
place the army in winter quarters; when we
find further in the annual reports Of the Navy
of resources and such proofs Of incapacity and
want of concert we confess that ne lose all
hope of proximate termination to our difficult
ties. The dominant party, like the Bourbons,
forget nothing and learn nothing. They cannot
dismiss from their minds the fact that the war
was brought about to enable them to enrich
themselves at the public expense, and their
past military failures they either will not or
cannot profit by. Under these circumstances
we see no prospect Of anything but long con-
tnued outpouring Of the blood and treasure of
the nation. We have, IL is true, plenty Of
good soldiers, good generals and military
resources of every kind; but of what actual
aid are they in the suppression Of the rebel
lion as long as they are thus neutralized by
factious influences or the prejudices aud imbe-
cility of the ruling powersY And the fanatical
spirit in which the Legislation Of the last session
Of Congress was carried on leaves no hope
that the measures Of the present one will do
anything towards bringing about a disposition
towards submission on the part OF the rebels
The manner in which the philanthropic and
patriotic recommendations Of Che Presidents
Message in regard toslavery have been received
by the radical organs 10, in fact sufficient
proof that there is TO be no relaxation Of the
uncompromising and vindctive temper in which
the ConHscation bill was passed.

GEN. MCCLELLAN ON THE WITNESS STAND
We notice that Gen. Mcclellan has been called
as witness before the Court Of Inquiry in the
case Of Gen. Mcdowell. The point upon which
Mcclellan will be examined Is probably the
connection which Gen. Mcdowell had with tho
peninsular campaign, and the object Of tho cx-
animation will be 10 prove that Mcdowell wee
The New York herald., 1862-12-05

willing to cooperate with Mcclellan, but was
restrained by the War Department Tho scope
OF this investigation, therefore, will afford Gen.
Mcclellan an opportunity to put the real facts
in regard to his campaign on tho peninsula be-
fore the public in an official form. We truss
and expect that he will avail himself of this op-
portunity. Gen. Halleck has already revealed
all that needed to be kept secret in the report
which we published yesterday, and there is now
no good reason why Mcclellan should longer
remain silent. His case is very much stronger
than the public have any idea of, and his ststs-
ments will carry conviction to the most preju-
diced minds. The War Department has already
been impeached by General Halleck for danger
ously dividing the army, and for depriving itself
of reinforcements by stopping en,istments.
General Mcclellan cannot be accused Of attack
ing the War Department, therefore, and we hope
that he will take occasion to fully complete that
history of military mismanagement Of which the
Prince de Joinville has written the first chapter.
and General Halleck the second.

to have discounted the Yankee lea

arrived in this city by the under
