ICEsU1t GFESIS1. aanu4lJ -, 1Sb3.
The steady advance in gold and the upward ten
dency in all the leading markets has teudcdto
vicws. In the early part Of the week there was
como talk OF general advance Of 81 c01o.0 90 per
thousand feet; but it did not meet with general
favor, and the movement settled down to IN addi-
tioual sttfening Of former prices being the
general price for common boards and fencing.
The want Of SNOW this winter in the woods IL be-
ginning to alarm manufacturers u to the supply of
logs: anathis contributes somewhat to make deal
e1s hold on little aEmer on their stocks.
The market for Shingles continues dull; hut
best Shaved and Sawed Shingles are geuezallyh held
at $3.50; but the sales at that figure are very In
sgniheant-some selling as Low as $3.a5. 1ath

neous. Indeed, upon review OF the field, 1t
IS difficult say with certainty what dam
age the rebels have done, or what places
they have taker; at any rate, we get not
even a rnmor of the widespread devas'
tation by fire and sword. that seemed so
imminent according to the reports OF Mon

Prennrn n rimn

The following suggestion from the Com
nercial apply to US rs foroibly here as to
the people of Ohio.
The apparent beIplessness of the people
Of Pennsylvania when the rebel cavalry
dashed among them, should warn,the PEG
pie of Ohio to make efficient preparation
to defend themselves. The success ofour
cavalry raids in the south, shows how ca
silly small force can surprise coumu
nifty and ride for hundreds of miles, almost
with impunity, through a hostile country.
where the people are not ready to make re
sistance. The dash of the rebels upon
MaysvisIe, Sunday evening last, should
serve as warning. Two hundred and
fifty mounted rebels rode forty Eve miles
in day, and appeared in the streets of
MaysVille without the slightest alarm hav-
ing been given, they brought the earliest
news oftheir advance. As the season nd i.
vances, we may expect such raids to in
crease in number aud daring, and it would
be foolish not to make ready to defend
ourselves. The enemy burns TO carry the
war into the North, and we, in Ohio, have
no right to persume that the river in front
will afford US adequate protection. The
squirrel hunters, should have their rifles
ready, and there can not be too much
and energy in perfecting mil
itary organizations.

The nature of the offensive movement
undertaken BY Gen. Lee is being rapidly
developed. The main body of his army
was moved up the Rappahanuock and
massed in the vicinity of Culpepper. His
cavalry, with some divisions of Infantry
was sent into the Shenandoah Valley. and
driving our forces from their uositions
there, the cavalry moved RAPIDLY into
Pennsylvania, Lees main body taking a
position, about Warrenten-thus inferno
sing between our army aud the Peuusyi-
yania expedition. Gen. Hooker moved
from Falmouth tu Quantities., that is, towards
Washington, changing his base of opera
tons from Acquia Greek to Alexandria.
The directions (Which the hostile armies
have been moving must bring them in col
tIston near the Bull Run battle. fields, and
hence the rumors of an engagement in
that quarter, Il seem to be the policy at
Washington to permit PennsyIvaniai IN
takeicaFei of herself for the present. while
forces are concentrated to give Lee battle.
The advantage that Lee has gained thus
lar, consists in the defeat of QUE troops at
Winchester, andlthe impunity with which
Pennsylvania is raVaRed.
OnrcaValEy In the east have shown
themselves fully competant to cope with
the enemy, and we imagine they will be
heard from very Soon In the event of a
battle between Hooker and Lee, in the alb
