Federal Regiments Re.enlisting.

Regiment after regiment of the Federal
troops in this department have come for
ward in the last few days and rc-enlistcd for
three years or during the war. They have
gone into the service cheerfully, and shown
a determination to fight it out. They are

will do more Of it. This is talking to the
rebel forces and their tory sympathizers in
language that they will understand.

Ny Dear Sam! | have delayed writing to you,

The next question was whether thpt was my name.

The fall elections have turned out most

uously for the vile Copperhends, Look at
the States and Territories that have rolled
up Union majoritios, and repudated tho

that they will do the house work of tho

South. Look at the States that have gone

ties OF jeff Davis, and his legions Of pirates,
tLev have, through all these ups and downs,
ayowed their undying devotion to the laws
and constitution of the United States, and
the banner of beauty and glory that waves
in triumph over cur battle-felds
1t is, perhaps, due to the public, in the
light of an example, that Il scheme so infer
nal as that of secession, eliminating in the
deliberate murder, in cold blood, Of unarmed
men, women and children, without Il mo-
ments warning, in manner so cruel as that
carried out by the thicving military bands
of Rebellion, should never be wound up
without the death of the corrupt leaders, and
the inhuman citizens who urged on this pol
icy. In this internal conspiracy, the entire
Southern population of rebels, including
their female pomen, have displayed the true
elements of their savage natures. Natural
enmty to law and order, is the ruling pas
sion of these wicked people, and of this
scmi-savagc race Of negro drivers. With
all loyal men, in all time to come, the lead
crs of this rebellion will be remembered as
enemies to God and man, and to their coun-
try and by the generations that come after
us, they will be regarded as monsters in hui

his division from Lees army to drive us
back, or at least hold US between them
and Richmond or Lynchburg, whichever
we strike for. We suppose the plan is to

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE widest ru-
mors of the capture of Washington are
afost.
BALTIMORE, July I've have nothing
from Washington but idle street rumors-
no despstches-no papers-nO trains. The
American has just received information
from Frederick that yesterday the rebels
were again driven out OF that city and the

NV YoRK, July l2.-The Commercial
SAYS the interview between Sir. Fessenden
aud the representatives of the banks Of
New York, Philadelphia and Boston, held
to day at the American Exchange Bank,
has as yet resulted 10 nothing definite -
After a mutual interchange OF sentiments,
the main business of the meeting, the ne
gotisiion of a loan, was referred to
committee of ten officers Of the Associated
Banks of New York and the representa-
yives of the Boston and Philadelphia banks
cousentiug to abide by the decision of the
New York hanks. Mr. Fesseudeu stated rhst
be had 10 definite policy to announce other
than TO adapt himself to the varying re-
sulremeuts of the public situation. He
was iudisposed to Increase the volume of
the currency, unless such a course were
inevitable.
The SecretsTy's views were regarded
upon the whole with much satisfaction
especially as they indicate that 10 future q
much better accord will exist between the
Treasury Department aud the banks than
hitherto, aud that Mr. Fsssenden will prove
an eminently practical Secretary. The
present wants of The Treasury require a
loan OF $50 .OOO. 900. -.H.-.

w-"wE do not see one lady in ten
walking the streets" says an exchange,
"without constant fussiug and fdgetiug
with the long skirts of her dress. Some
pin them up at regular epacesr giving them
a very rumpled appearance; others wear
pages or an elastic cord just below the
waist, pulling up the dress just as our
Grand Mothers used to do when they went
to scrub the kitchen others frantically
seize the side breadths, holding them in
front, having the appearance of desperate
determination of sitting down the first con-
venient opportunity, Some walk on letting
their dress hang till suddenly brought up
on the front breadtbs, stumble, founder,
pull up and try it again. Now all this
could be avoided Modesty aud respect for
the opinions of mankind, demand retor-
nation in this matter. We have only gtFen
a fair weather view of this matter. 1t ladies
would put a quarter of yard less in the
length of her dress the would save the
amount the goods cost and mach public
