400 dead, and that 1000 wounded rebels
lay in his front.
New York, July 23.-The Posts special
says a part Of Moseby's Cavalry, 200 OF
300, entered West Maryland. 1t is not
known whether there are any more behind
The Posts special SAYS Sherman has
taken 1000 prisoners. Our loss 1900.
New York, July27.-A Baltimore CORES.
poudent says: No apprehension is enter,
.ained of another rebel demonstration to
wards Washington or Baltimore.
Gen. Crook says the rebel force which
attacked him near Winchester, on Sunday
was greatly superior to his. 1t showed a
front of four miles, overlapping him on both
sides. and could have easily annihilated him
had he not rctreated.
Col. Mulligan was killed in the battle or
Sunday.
The Baltimore american of to-day says
there is no confirmation of the report that
the rebels had re-entered Martinsburg by
way of Sharpsburg aud Sheppardstown
1t is hardly possible that Early could have
come from that direction, as he must bC
aware that he will encounter some different
troops from the broken down columns o.
Hunters command.
The Commercial says that a gentleman
from Frederick City reports much excite
ment there on Monday and Tuesday. The
Government stores and inhabitants were al
preparing to leave The enemy are knOwT
to be south Of Pea Ridge, and it was feared
they would cross at Point of Rocks ant
push for Frederick.
Nothing of definite character concern
ing the rebel movements in the Shenandoah
valley has been received. 1t was posi-
lively known, however, that serious battles
occurred on Saturday and Sunday, in whicl
the Union troops were overpOwered, anC
compelled to retreat to Harper's Ferry ant
Williamsport.
Supplies were being removed from thu
former place, across the Potomac.
Our forces held Harper's Ferry on Tues
day night
No rebels had been seen in Maryland .
The report that Hills corps had joined
the rebel forces, was not confirmed.
The Commercials Washington specia
says: The War Department says the raid il
a humbug.
Later reports assert that We have re-occu
pied Martinsburg.
Gen. Wallace has issued an order for th'
immediate enrolment Of all the able.bOdie(
cOlored men in Baltimore, and directs then
to be forthwith organized into companies
said troops to constitute the special military
forces Of the city.
The Loyal Leagues are also actively en-
gagged in perfccting military organization.
Orders arc in force restricting the pres.
from publishing anything relative to rebe
movements.
The rebel raid appears to be dwindlins
to comparatively small effort. 1t is un
derstoOd to be portion of the late invaders
The general opinion is that the affair vii
soon blow over when our forces ea rOuh
arrive at the scene Of action. It is certain
that the rebels have not crossed the PotO
mac, and it is believed the evacuation o.
Martinsburg was unnecessary.

THE ExlLE.-Valla allandigham was banished
from the loyal States without limit of time.
lie has now returned in spite of the order Of
Abraham Lincoln. When he first returned
some Of the Jacobin press we're so rampant
as to declare that If he was not re-arrested
and hung, the Government was no Govern
ment, and did not deserve the support OF
loyal men; but they have quietly subsidized
A change has come over the spirit of their
dreams; it is no longer safe to arrest and
banish men for the expression of opinion.
Mr.. VaIlandigham has said that Lincoln dare
not modest him, and the tyrant has taken his
word for true. This is good sign. 1t is
sign Of returning reason, and sign that
the people are beginning to make the cause
of the Constitution their cause. Mr.. Lincoln,
by not re- arresting Valandigham, acknow-
edges either that he was wrong in banishing
him in the first place, or that be has not
now the power to send him out Of the United
States. Either is encouraging.

Men are constantly buoying themselves
with tho hope that this war will be brought
to an end, and that the Constitution will be
maintained and the laws vindicated. But
what is the use of Constitution which is
equally despsed North and South! What
is the value of laws that may be violated:
without murmur from the loyal Ieagues9
What is the use of freeing the blacks from
personal slavery, merely to confound them
with the whites in general political slaveryl
If the sectional contest ends how long be-
fore civil contest will begin?
There can never be free country where
every individual does not feel an invasion Of
the constitutional rights of another, an in
vasion of his own.
There cannot safely be two parties in "a
free country, unless the Constitution and the
laws limit the bounds of party. When they
do not. there are factions, and with factions
comes civil war.
Is it in vain that history is written; is
every community, heedless of the past, to
run the same circe9 SO it appears to us;
uot from what has been done so much as
from the spirit with which action has been
received, Illegally, if committed by men
in power, is accepted as the rule.

THE FIRE AT LoUIsvILLB.--The Louis
Vile papers say that the fire by which
the government storehouse and other
buildings in that city were burnt last
week was undoubtedly the work of in
cendiaries. The hospital stores, in
charge Of DR.. Magruder, purveyor, were
first destroyed, including five thousand
ounces of quinine, a complete assert
ment ofdrugs, sixty thousand blankets,
mattresses, etc, to the value of $500, 900.
Other government property was des-
troyed, making the whole amount $780,
900, which is total loss. The loss to
private parties in buildings, flour, to-
bacco, whisky, &c, is estimated at over
$400,000 ON which there is only 100000
insurance, of which $4,000 is in the Et-
na of Hartford.

RECRUITING IN THE REBEL STATEs,-
The Boston Journal fears that the fea-
ture of the new enrolment law, which
allows men to be recruited in the rebel
states may induce city and town au-
thorities to remit their efforts towards
filling their respective quotas. 1t says
that in excepting Tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana the bill takes away the
best portion of the recruiting ground and
in that which remains recruiting agents
will not find men within their reach so
plenty as many have supposed. 1t is not
certain either that town agents will be
allowed to go down South and go into
competition for the men. Possibly
the whole matter may be restricted to
such agents as the governors of the
respective states may appoint and ac-
credit. At any rate there should be
no cessation of efforts here at home to
get men.
On the otheg haud, the Journals
Washington correspondent, "Perley,"
telegraphs to that paper that Governor
Andrew is effecting satisfactory ar
rapgements by which Massachusetts,
can recruit her quota Of men in the
Southern States, and that there is no
doubt large numbers of men can be OBJ
tanned in that way
1t is stated that regulations will soon
be announced in respect to the recruit.
