cherished earth? If so, cannot the genial
sun draw it Forthwith no invocation raise
it from the t6mb2 The talisman is lost.
There are now no intellectual and moral
forces to touch with more than galvanie
power the inanimate body, start it into life,
and elothe it again in spiritual strength
and beauty.
There is a nobility of sentiment, dig
nifty Of purpose, love Of high achieves
ments, a chastity of honor that feels stain
like wound, pride, courage, wisdom,
a magnanimity, that come not from the air
we breath, from the earth we tresd upon,
or from the sky we gaze upon, but from the
teaching, from the literature ofthe younger
days Impressed in the precept, the proverb
and the parental vOice-from the elevating
ideas and images in the good old books at
home for which ingenious youth acquires a
passion-from the recorded lives of the
great ones Of the earth and the emulation
of their virtues-from an obedience to the
mandates Of Scripture, that literature born
of heaven for man-from the infusion of
those streams Of knowledge, which the
mind, like a celestial urn, receives from
many fountains, and which enrich the in
ward man, ripen the soul, and insure
noble growth.

FROM BALTIlTORE.

BALTIMORE July 4
The CITY Is full of rumors, but the fol-
lowing is believed to be correct: Intelli-
gence from the Maryland Hights and the
region beyond, warrant the belief that the
rebel force now on this side of the Poto-
mac, and on the line of the Virginia side,
is not less than 10000.
Adviees from Sandy Hook to this morn
ing, saws that skirmishing was going on
back of the Hights, but the number Of re-
bels there is small. The rebel can be seen
towards Sharpsburg, driving off cattle and
horses plundering the farmers in the vici-
nifty. No large force is visible yet.
Advices from Green Castle, Peennsyl-
vania this morning says the rebels occupy
Hagerstown, but the force is not known.
While in Middletown yesterday the rebels
plundered the people, their homes and
other property The railroad is still un-
obstrueted as far as Sandy Hook, opposite
Harper's Ferry 1t is believed there was
only a small force ofrebels on the Virginia
shore opposite Point of Rocks. ..-

The XXXVIIIth Congress, which has
lust closed its longer session, was an un-
commonly green one. We believe not
more than half its members ever before
held seats in either House. A very con
siderable proportion of its members are
men of quite moderate abilities-about
equal to the duties Of justices of the peace.
Some Of them bought their nominations
outright; others traded for them; perhaps
fifty in all got in because they were really
tit for legislators, and the people knew 1t.
1t is a solemn fact that we do not send so
able men relatively to Congress as were
sent forty to sixty years ago. and our de-
testabIe system of Primary Meetings and
Regular Nominations are the main cause
of the falling off, though our wretched
practice of cOnfniog the choice of each
district to residents thOrein-a practice
founded neither in law nor in resaOn-is
partly responsible for it. Neither Clay
Webster nor Calhoun, could remain in the
House eight years under the prevailing
system. What district will set the exam
pie of calling some able and upright states
man by public requisition to serve it IN
the House We ought to have Edward
Everett, Salmon P. Chase, Henry @
Carey, Hamilton Fish, Gerrit Smith, John
| p. Kennedy, etc, etc, in that House
while our political opponents should like
wise send to it Millard Fillmore, Charles
| OConor. Judge Woodward, George NJ
Dallas, etc, etc, if they can. But we shal
never again have a strong Congress unit
in selecting candidates ''the shrieks of 10
cality7 are wholly disregarded. Why
