best Judgment" Of course the whole
object hidden beneath all this verbiage
will terminate in throwing away the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal and placing the
interests of Allegany County in the hands
of those who will only promote her pros
perity SO far as they can't help do other
wise, and so far as it is required to fill
their own pockets.
The present system of management is
bad enough in all conscience, but the new
plan is so much worse that the only inte-
rest this county will have if this piece of
legislation is pitched into the Constitu-
ton, will be to give an unanimous vote
against the Constitution. We have had
our fears for some time that there we're
too many distinguished gentleman in that
body; whose names were bound to be
enrolled on history's page, even if they
had to place them on the same classic
page with that of Erostratus for their
work to meet the approval of majority
of the voters of the State. We can af-
ford to swallow good many hard things
but even dog may be chohed aoith butter,
and SO may the people with too much re-
form Some may PROFOUND the univer-
sal question as knock down argument
to objections-Have you no patriotism :?
Yes very small share, about as much
as our neigbors, but not one jot more, and
we have quite as much selfshness We
are no Gracchi to sacrifice our interest and
ourselves to what others may attempt to
place under the cloak of patriotism when
we see the cloven foot of local limited
personal interest, kicking our interest out
into the>cold. If we are to be sacrificed
on the altar of Moloch we prefer it should
be done in another way, and by different
hands than our own as helpers.

LATEST NEWS FROM ATLANTA.
MAI. GEN. MCPHERSON KILLED.

The N. Y. Tribune's special dispatch
from Washington under date of July %,
gives the following:
The Government has received dispatch
es from Sherman, announcing that on
Friday the rebels under Hood, massed a
heavy force against his left wing, con-
sisting of McPherson's Grand Division,
composed of Logan's and Blair's corps,
and made desperate attack, gaining
temporary advantages The enemy, af-
ter terrific fighting in which number of
charges were made, were repulsed with
much slaughter and driven into their for
tifcations Major General Mcpherson
became separated from his staff and was
killed by sharpshooters. After MePher-
sons death, Gen. Logan assumed COM
mand of his division.
A later dispatch says our forces had
obtained possession of the elevated ground
northeast of the town. and siege guns
have been mounted which command the
place. Also that the rebels were burning
their stores preparatory to retrograde
movement Everybody feels confident
that Atlanta has fallen into our hands by
this time.
The Washington Republican extra
says:
Dispatches to the Government repre-
sent that great battle was fought in
Atlanta on Friday, resulting in terri
BILE slaughter and complete repulse of the
enemy at every point. General Logan
went into the battle with the rallying cry
of Remember Mcpherson" This Corps
as well as Blair's fought desperately.
Our troops buried 1000 Rebels left on
the field besides which the Rebels buried
many of their own dead near their works,
it estimated that the Rebel killed and
wounded on Friday will exceed 5000.
Our loss will reach $500 in killed and
wounded. Several Rebel Generals are
reported killed but their names are not
given. ..-
Gen. Garrard's expedition has been
successful in destroying the bridge at
Covington 40 miles east Of Atlanta, to-
wards Augusta. They destroyed the
public stores at Covington and Conyers,
including 1000 bales of cotton, "a loco
motive and train Of cars, and captured
200 prisoners and number of horses.

A MARYLAND SeNrIMENT.-Maryland
is becoming nationally radical. The
Constitutional Convention at Annapolis
yesterday passed, by vote of two to one.
a resolution requesting that "the total
amonnt of all losses and sppliations sus-
tanned by loyal citizens during the re-
cent rebel raid may be assessed upon the
sympathizers with the rebellion resident
in this State"
This will come homo to the class af-
fccted by it like bolt from summers
sky. not only were the secession res
cuers of my Maryland" driven bloodily
out of her borders, as much dreaded and
avoided by many and most of her citizens
as by the unfortunates whom they har-
ried in southern Pennsylvania; not only
were stores. stables and graneries emp
tied as their advent became imminent;
not only did they fail in those accessions
to their strength which were to have
poured in like spring freshet; but worse;
worse and most abject of all! Here is
the Constitutional Convention of that
State proposing to make reclamation for
their plumber on the property Of those
who befriended them, and thus make
their gain a practical loss, and forever
preclude its repetition, even in dreams.
And to crown the whole, the wish is ex-
pressed in such shape, comes from such
source and has such evident justice,
that it may very reasonably be expected
to become real.
This same convention did also at the
same time crown its disloyalty to treason
and widen the breach with secession by
voting thanks to brave old Ishmael Day,
simply because he shot rebel while
pulling down the Union flag!
These are brave, particular manifesto
tons. They are words. but are charged
with meaning. They will spoil the har-
mony with which my Maryland" is
sung and drunk in Richmond, and show
afresh that fading fortunes lose weak
friends. By all means let the Maryland
Unionists mete out justice in the premi-
SEES. They will be all the stronger. all
the richer, and all the safer for Furnishing
the guilty. Playing with treason is more
dangerous than playing with fire. and
they cannot too soon extinguish the last
spark. --Philadclphia North American.

THE RAID.

The rebels engaged in the late great
raid to Baltimore and Washington, after
having been driven with considerable
loss up the valley beyond Winchester,
having received achievements, have
turned on our forces and driven us back.
On Saturday & Sunday and last they drove
our forces back to Martinsburg and Har-
pers Ferry. On Monday after severe
fighting they drove our forces out of Mar
tinsburg, and no doubt they have inflicted
considerable injury there. What the ex-
act state ofthings may be East ofus We do
not know for certainty, further than that
railroad communication is cut off, tele-
graphic communication is cut off, but
madame rumor is about very busy issuing
her kilograms faster and more magnifed
than ever. We further know that out of
every ten reports from the seat Of war
which we hear twelUe of them are the big
gest lies madame ever manufactured.
"Oh! how this world is given to lying"
We had report Tuesday night that Gen.
Crook had whipped the rebels back from
Martinsburg; on Wednesday morning we
believed 1t to be lie of magnificent pro-
portions, the telegraph proper has nothing
to tell. We know no trains run, we be-
lievc they are not going to run this week.
unless it is to get further away from the
seat of war. We had report on Tues
day morning that Imbodcn with 5000
cavalry was at Romney. and we might
expect him here on Wednesday morning
at daylight certain. We know that's
another big lie, though our people had
a big scare on it.
We know that things here are in such
a state of preparation that there is no pro-
liability of Gen'l Imboden getting in here,
and don't believe he will try, as he no
doubt has information that Gen'l Kelley is
prepared to give him special thrashing
if he shows himself near here. We also
know that there is lot of stockholders"
loafing around here, with and without
beside those who chad
not time to stop" on Monday on account of
the supposed, unhealthness of the climate
too bip for Gen1 Crook or Gen'l anybody
else to whip the rebs back from Martins
burg or anywhere else, unless perhaps
"a bar!p' Some things we don't know
and some things we believe We do know
ill we find out that that is another -.
