A descrtcr from the rebels reports Gen.
Hunter as having paroled 100 of the pri-
soners which he took mostly old men and
and boys, who said they were conscript-
ed and forced to fight.
General Hunters operations in the val
ley have had one desirable effect. that
of drawing of heavy bodies Of troops,
who would otherwise have operated with
Lee against Grant.
T1o days ago the rebels had force Of
over 500 men near Strausburg, evidently
for the purpose of cutting of General

The State Convention.

The State Convention for the nominal
ton of Union Electors for President and
Vice President of the United States, met
in Baltimore on Wednesday last, and
discharged the duty imposed upon it. we
believe to the satisfaction of the great
mass of Unconditional Unionists through
out the State. AS we anticipated, it met
at the very threshold of its proceedings
that faction from Baltimore city, and Bal
timore county which has never yet had
the sense to preceive the significance of
that campaign in 1868. which elected
II. H. Goldsborough over its pet and
protegee S. S. NIaffit. Like the Bourbon
dynasty in France. it never learns any
thing and never forgets anything. Re-
membcring only the time now past forev-
er; in which its dictum was accepted for
Gospel by the people of Maryland, it does
not perceive that the world moves and
that new ideas have seized upon the
minds of men. 1t began its career by
according to the Government only qier-
ulous and half hearted support in its great
need. 1t dared not openly oppose it but
it imposed conditions, and demanded
concessions, which at the time were Who'll
ly incompatible with the maintenance of
the National Authority in the in
terests of National existence, the Govern
ment asked us to abolish Slavery in Ma
ryland and accept Compensation from
the National Treasury as for National
benefit, it spurned the proposition with
insult and contumely. With an arrogance
i'll BETTING the time, it went so far os to
assert that only the slaveholding citizens
of Maryland had a right to speak upon
the subject of Slavery in this State. But
the people spoke last year in such tones
as penetrated even into their comprehen-
sion dull as it was, and they sullenly
submitted to q fate they could not resist.
In the election of 1868 they were totally
overthrow by the uprising of an iudig-
nant people. That people pronounced by
majorities never before known in Mary
land that their support ofthe Government
and devotion to the Union were without
conditions and absolute and further that
the people of the State had determined
upon Emancipation, immediate, Uncon-
ditional and final. Instead of accepting
this decree and submitting to it like good
citizens in good faith, they yielded a pre-
tended acquiescence merely in order to
retain their power and influence in the

The Battle near Staunton, an the Valley
Of Tirginia-.Sin Guns, Many Prison
- ers and Supplies Captured.
STANTON, SHENANDOAH VALLEY, June
Cur movements here have in every
way been an entire success We have
thoroughly whipped and driven back the
enemy, who is rapidly retrcating toward
the Blue Ridge.
In our movements so far we have cap
,ured one battery of six pieces, besides
other cannon of heavy calibre. Over
million dollars worth Of stores fell into
our hands. The amount Of railroad pro-
perty which we have destroyed and cap
tured is large.
We have taken large number Of pris-
oners. Some of them are mere boys, and
one or two saw were SO young that
they could hardly use musket. Con-
sidering the extensive character Of our
combustibles, and the important result
We have attained, our loss is not large in
either killed or wounded Crooks column
and Averills command met With decided
success.
In one action which we had, the enc
my attempted trick by trying to flank
our left. In the end we tricked him, as
we turned his left, and thereby brought
about his defeat handsomely. Thorburn's
brigade of infantry suffered the. heaviest
in killed and wounded. Our forces are
in hot pursuit Of the enemy. The onemy's
retreat is complete stampede perfect
rout
On taking Staunton, we found that
every man and boy had been called out
or its defense. Staunton is well fortified
but if the enemy had only remained to
hold the place to the last extremity. we
would have captured the whole rebel
command. We got in just such positions
as to secure that character of result. AT
one time our column was, in a'great mea-
sure, in the rear of Jones and Imboden
and the moin rrhel nositiOn.

/, is believed tina, no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders as the various de-
scriptions Of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms
of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private
parties or stock companies OF separate commu-
mites only is pledged for payment, while for
the debts of the United States the whole prop
erty Of the country is holden to secure the pay
mcnt Of both principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums
from $50 up to any magnitude, on the same
terms, and are made equally available 10 the
smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They
can be converted into money ut any moment,
and the holder will have the benefit of the in
tercst
It may be useful to state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the United States
on which the interest is payable in gold, on the
Sd day of March, 1864, was $7Gs, 965,oo The
interest On this debt for the coming fiscal year
will be S45, oa7, l2e, while the customs revenue
IN gold for the current fiscal year, ending June
soth, 1864, has been so far at the rate OF over
Sloo, 900, 600 per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largely in- e1-
cess of the wants of the Treasury for the pay
mcnt of gold interest while the recent increase
of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual re-
ceipts from the customs on the same anonnt OF
