From the Daily Pioneer of Friday.
The rebels have not got so far into Penn
sylvania as was stated yesterday. Instead
of being at Carlisle, we do not learn that
they are further north than Scotland, a
few miles above Charnbersburg. Their
force at Scotland is estimated at 1000
cavalry and infantry. 1t is said, however,
that they have force of 10000 men at
New Market, but the authorities believe
they will not move farther north. They
have compelled traders to open their stores
and receive Confederate money in ex-
change for goods, but otherwise have gan-
orally respected private property. The
excitement seems to be abating, and
measures will doubtless be taken to harass
their retreat.

Questions Answered.

We desire to ask the PIONEER two questions
one is ours, the other is the President's:
l. Do you deny that the President, in time
of invasion or rebellion, has the right or lawful
power, q on his own responsibility to the con-
trolling powers of the Constitution, ;" to author.
ize the arrest and restraint of citizen, in dis
regard of the civil tribunals, when the same is
deemed by him indispensable to the public
safety?
II. Must the President shoot simple-minded
boy who deserts, and may he not touch hair
of the willy agitator who induces him to desert?
Press, 23d.
To the first question We reply Out
side the lines Of the military forces in the
field, and within the limits of the loyal
States, where the processes and jurisdic-
ton of the civil tribunals are unimpeded
and unrestricted, on account of the rebel
lion, we deny such power in the President;
in the disloyal States, and where the mill
tary is the only authority capable of exc
cutting its DEGREES, we concede it, but only
as necessity of the time and place. In
other words, we deny the right of the
President to declare martial law over
States where no rebellion exists, and where
the courts are free and competent to ex-
pound and enforce the laws.
To the second question, our answer is
The President should do neither; the Laa0
should do both. The supplemented
boy who deserts" should, and, if the mill
tary law of the nation were properly adj
ministered, in all cases would, be shot, by
virtue of its requirements. The "wily
agitator who induces him to desert" in
his turn should, and if the criminal law of
the nation were properly administered, in
all cases would, be punished, as such law
demands. But, where, as in all free, loyal
States, the Courts have both power and
disposition to administer the laws, civil
and criminal, neither the President, nor
any subordinate, has the right to abrogate
such laws, and substitute in their place
the Articles of War, making these every
where operative, and upon all classes,
civilians as we'll as soldiers. In every such
act of abrogation and substitution, the
President himself becomes a law-breaker,
an usurper, and a despot; and for every
such act. he will be hereafter, and right
fully, held to account before the tribunals
of the land

A Long WAR.

The Richmond Enquirer has long,
labored and lugubrious appeal to the peo-
pie of the Northwest to "give up the
idea of opening the Mississippi by military
operations, and to accomplish that end by
negotiating peace with the bogus "Con-
federacy." Says the Enquirer:
First, then. they must give up entirely and
finally the deusion that the Union can ever be
reconstructed by force or anything else
Though flattered by their preference and much
complimented by the urgency with which they
insist on being our fellow citizens; yet rather
than reunite with them in a political confede-
ration upon any terms, we will fight them for
the remainder of the century.
Our advice to the proprietors of the
Richmond Enquirer-if these are their
real views-is to make arrangements for
a continued supply of paper, types and
printers ink, until the year 1868, for ifthe
Union is not restored by force or some
thing else, the war will not end before
that time

The Postage Law as amended by the
last Congress, will take effect on the first
of next month. The Post Master General
has furnished all postmasters in the several
States with copies thereof accompanied by
instructions.
In many respects the new law is an i'm
prOvement on the old. In the registration
of money letters, the system practiced by
the United States Express Company is
adopted. e., each clerk handling regis
tered letter is required to sign his name to
the package, so that the letter may be
traced throughout its entire route after it
is deposited in the Post Office. The re-
ceipt given by the receiver of the letter is
to be returned to the sender. The fee for
registration will hereafter be twenty cents,
instead of five cents as heretofore.
Newspaper postage is reduced by the
new law to the following rates:
Weekly, per quarter. cents.
Semi-weekly, per quarter. 10
Tri-weekly, per quarter ...........15
Daily, per quarter. ................30
Magazines, not exceeding four ounces
in weight, are rated as follows:
Semi-monthly, per quarter .....6 cents.
Monthly, per quarter. ................3
Quarterly, per quarter. ...............1
Under the old law, newspapers were
circulated in the States where published,
at half the rates of other papers. This
distinction is abolished-an unfortunate
change for the local press, and we are
constrained to say, an unwise one for the
public. Weekly papers, however, are still
sent free to subscribers in the county
where printed.
At post offices where the gross receipts
amount to 81 900 or more per annum, let
tiers are to be advertised once a week-at
all others once month. All offices ad-
vertising weekly, will return their I'M
claimed letters to the Dead Letter Office
weekly, and about five weeks after their
receipt; smaller offices will return their
letters monthly
The Thanking privilege heretofore granted
to postmasters at offices where the gross
receipts amounted to less than 5000 per
annum is abolished, and postmasters are
not allowed to frank any letters except
those upon official business, which must
be so endorsed with the name of the post
master.
There are some provisions Of the law
which require additional labor by post
masters and their clerks. Among these
are sections Sd and 4th, by which the
postmaster is required to keep record of
each days transactions, showing the en-
tire amount of money received each day,
giving separately the amount received for
letter postage, for regular newspapers, for
box rents, &C., &c. The postmaster at
every post office, large or small, must
keep list of all box holders, with the
number of the box assigned to each, and
to allow no one the use of box till he
has paid for it in advance.

Immigration III 1868.

TIE Chicago Journal makes some i'm
portant statements in regard to immigra-
ton. 1t says, since the commencement
of the present year there have been added
to our population, by passengers arriving
at the port of New York, 3S,72O persons.
Although some of these are passengers ar
irving on visits of business or pleasure,
they are in the main immigrants seeking
fields 70: labor in all departments of in
dustry, and they may, therefore, be ac-
counted as so much added to the produ-
cling powers and to the wealth of the
country. The numbers already arrived
are nearly three times as great as those
for the corresponding term of last year.
So rapidly are they now coming that
nearly seven thousand (6,942) landed last
week, and as many as $500 arrived in a
single day.
Taking the statistics of last year as a
guide, we may set down the total arrivals
from abroad, for the four months OF this
year, in all the ports of the United States,
at not less than fifty thousand, as those
coming into New York city are usually
about seven-tenths of the whole. At the
same rate the arrivals for the year will
foot up an aggregate Of hundred and
fifty thousand, which compares favorably
with some years of profound peace.

The Great Cavalry Fight.

In the great cavalry fight on the Rap
pahannock the Federal loss foots up 931
killed, wounded and missing. Tie num-
Der of killed does not exceed 100, and less
than 100 are missing as prisoners. The
loss in horses amounts to l, $40 head. The
rebel loss as nearly as can be ascertained,
was 1900 killed and wounded, and 200
prisoners. Their loss of horses was in
proportion. 1t was a most desperate
fight, but notwithstanding the check given
to the rebels it did not prevent them from
pursuing their contemplated raid, for with
in three days thereafter they crossed the
Potomac and marched into Pennsylvania

The Rebel Invasion of the North Last
Year.

On the 4th of September, last year, the
Confederates crossed the Potomac in hea-
Wy force; on the 9th Gen. MCCLELLAN had
gathered Gen. Pores defeated army, and
was in rapid motion from the capital to
the Upper Potomac on the 18th he fought
the rebels at Middletown, Maryland; on
the 14th he fought them at South Noun
tain; on the 18th he fought and defeated
them at the great battle of Antietam;
and during the night of the 18th, the
rebels, leaving their dead and wounded on
the field of battle, recrossed the river, and
at daybreak ON the 10th there was no sign
of an enemy north of the Potomac. Thus,
in less than fifteen days, with an army
that had just passed through two severe
campaigns, Gen. MCCLELLAN completely
routed the whole Confederate army, and
inflicted upon it the severest losses of
the war.
We only hope that we may have equal
success this year, in defeating and driving
across the Potomac the small force that
has caused such unprecedented alarm in
Pennsylvania, and general uneasiness
throughout the country. Their stay this
year has already exceeded their time last
year.

Willing TO Take the Oath.

The Washington Chronicle says that an
average of ten in every one hundred of the
prisoners of war brought to that city are
very anxious to take the oath Of allegiance
to the Federal Government. Their denun-
citation of the rebel authorities is most
outspoken and vehement. In presence of
their fellow prisoners they boldly declare
that they are sick and tired of service in
which they have lost all the rights which
they possessed before the war CONNIE need,
and that they had rather die than be ex-
changed. This declaration is not made to
our officers alone, but to their comrades in
arms, their neighbors, and friends.
