The only question now discussed in Mary
land about slavery is, whether emanci ipation
shall be immediate or gradual. In the mean
time the Baltimore American says that slay-
cry is going so last that these questions will
only excite smile by the time Congress
meets. Slaves are enlisting in the army, and
the masters take q certificate which entities
them to $500 for each soldier when the state
shall have accepted the offer Of compensation
made by Congress for emancipation. The
operation is good all round to the country
in giving it sodiers-to masters in giving
them compensaton-to the slaves in giving
them liberty - and finally to the national
treasury, because the money comes from the
conscription fund,

mode of instimulation. 1t may, according to
the same idea, be democratic TO present to
foreign despots the exhibition of divided
people upon question which concerns our
existence and thus encourage them to do
openly what they are doing secretly. But it

Sharp Engagement with the Rebels
ON Morris Island.

BosToN, June pa letter from the
blockading feet, off Charleston, says on
the evening of the 18th the rebel battery
on Morris Island opened fire on the
troops on Folly Island, and for half an
hour no notice was taken of the firing
by our forces
Presently the gunboats Pawnee and
Gov, McDonough steamed up to within
good range Of the rebel battery and
poured in a deadly fire from their heavy
guns.
The Union batteries ON Folly Island
now opened their fire, and for three
hours the shot and shell few thick and
fast. We could see that the rebel shot
fell short, while those from our batteries
and gunboats burst in the midst of the
rebel battery.
The firing lasted until sunset, but the
result of the engagement was not fully
known. The rebels were seen carrying
off number of killed and wounded
During the firing the rebel rams came
out from behind Sumter and proceeded
down about two miles from that fort,
where they remained until the engage
ment was over, not daring to take part
in the fight.
The same night the whole roadstead
and shipping were brilliantly illuminated
for several hours by an extensive con-
fagration in Charleston. The heavens
were lighted up for several miles around.

New ALBANY, June %, 4P. NJ.
Dispatches received by the military
authorities of this city last night and
this forenoon report the invasion of In
diana by force estimated at from six
TO nine hundred rebel cavalry. The re-
port is that the rebels crossed the Ohio,
five or six miles below Rome, on Satur-
day night and Sunday morning. The
object of the raid is said to be to cut the
Louisville, New Albany, and Chicago,
and the Ohio and Mississippi Railroads,
and to burn the bridges on these roads
over White river aud other streams.
Great excitement prevails in this and
all the Southern Indiana counties The
citizens are arming, and not less than
$500, wilh cavalry and artillery, have
already gone out on the reported route
of the invaders. to intercept and cut
them off The Ohio river is well guard

the raid, yet the dispatches received by

Capture of Guerrillas.

Our regular dispatches show that the
guerrillas who invaded Indiana have been
captured. Their defeat is due to the
home guards who have been denounced
by the Sentinel of late, and who would
have been disarmed could the Butternut
Legislators have secured it. The fifth
cavalry, which was raised for border de-
Tense, was sent out OF the State at the
solicitation of the Democratic members
Of the Island ID Congressional Districts.
Had they succeeded in disarming and
disbandng the Legion, the guerrilla raids
could have been made unopposed in the
Southern and central parts of the State
except by the United States troops sta
toned here. The presence of the latter
has been so unwelcome their party press
es have more than once demanded that
they be sent into the field.-IndidndpOiis
Journal
The late raid into Indiana was one of
the legitimate results of the action of
the Democratic members of the last Leg
islature and had their nefarious designs
succeeded, we would not only have such
raids, frequently to record, but would
have our State over run by guerrilla rob-
bers from Kentucky, aided and assisted
by numbers of horse thieves of our own
State.
/ That it was the design of the leaders
of the Democratic party to bring about
this state. of things there can be nc
doubt, though many who favored the IN
famous measures proposed, and signed
the petition for the removal of the 9th
Cavalry from the border will never be
suspected of having brains enough te
comprehend theresult of their action
They were told to sign it by the leaders
that it was Democratic, and Constitoosh
inal, and they we're pledged to do all they
could for the good of the Democratic
party.
Had the 5th Cavalry remained on thu
border our State would not have beer
disgraced by a guerrilla invasion. Ih'

cured their removal

A False Medical System In Ruins.
NOT A REFORM, BUT REVOLUTION.

Sir Walter Raleigh, referring, in his
History of the World to the charac-
ter of Alexander the Great, says: "sueh
spirits have been stirred up, in sundry
ages, to erect and cast down, to estab-
lish and destroy, and to bring all persons
and States to the same ends. How ad-
mirably does this description apply to.
the labors of the great medical luminary
Of our times-the philosopher, physician
and phiIanthropist, Professor Holloway.
His spirit was STIRRED up when COM
paratively young man, by observing
the utter impotency of most of the med
icines and methods employed by the "li-
censed profession" for the relief of the
sick, and he resolved, in his large and
liberal heart, to devote himself, body
and soul, to the discovery of those ma
terials for the general cure of disease,
which he religiously believed God had
placed somewhere in the arcana of Ma
ture. What was the result? He sue
ceededl He unravelled the great Hyge-
an mystery. He found, analysed, COM
bined, and tested, by experiment, the
vegetable ingredients in which were COM
pretended all the most powerful healing
agencies of the Botanic Kingdom. In
a word, he ushered before the world two
medicines, with the fame of which it
now rings from its centre to its circumfer-
ence-Holloways Ointment and Hollo-
ways Pills. He has erected new med
cal system, which is everywhere casting
down the chance-begotten theories and
and empirical practices of former days,
and, in the words of Raleigh, he has
brought all persons and States" within
the pale of it's curative influence. Eve
ry year, every day, every hour his great
internal and external remedies be, ONE
firmly entrenched in the confidence OF
the public, and neither the brutens tak
men of TIE faculty nor the sneers of
skeptieism can diminish the lustre of
their inventors fame.-[G Galveston TEX
