The Military sitnatfon.g

The most exciting news OF the week
has been the Rebel raid into Maryland
and Pennsylvania. The fact that the
raiding party were ior ten Jays in these
two States, burning, 'plunlering and rob-
bing the citizens, and that they recrossed
the Potomac without suffering reverse,
and without our authorities being able to
give more than a vague conjecture as to
their number, reflects little credit on our
military leaders
The number Of horses carried off by
the raiders is put at 10000, together with
immense droves Of cattle, sheep and hogs
The main design of the Rebels seems to
have been to draw off Grants forces from
Petersburg, and the secondary object to
obtain provisions and horses. In the
first they signally failed; in the second
they were very successful.
Baltimore and Washington were for
several days completely isolated, all the
railroads leading from them being cut.
| Our losses in men amounted to 1900 or
| 1900
From Sherman's army we learn that
most Of his force is acruss the Chatta hoo
che river. This stream is about i miles
beyond Marietta and 9 miles this side OF
Atalanta Sherman is slowly but surely
pushing Johnson across the CoLfed ederacy
| The Rebels claim that johnson is merely
drawing him on. This is not to be be-
| lieved johnson has fallen back iroin
Dalton, as Lee did from the Rapidan, be-
cause he cannot maintain his position.
From the army of the Potomac We have
little except the apparently reliable re-
port that Grant occupies Petersburg. We
will probably have confirmation or CON
tradiction of this before going to press.
The taking Of Petersburg does not in
volve the capture of Richmond. Indeed
Grant is severely criticised for attacking
Petersburg at ALL The possession of
that city by our forces is a serious loss to
the Rebels, but is of little advantage to
Us in strategical point Of view. Many
persons fear Grants campaign again t
Richmond has failed. He has lost l00,-
900 men and is not as near the city 10y
eight miles as Mcclellan was i'll '62.
Unless Graut can he largely re-enforeed
his success is, to say the least, doubtful.
Altogether our spring and summer
campaigns have amouated to about this:
We have lost from one-fourth to one-G!th
of our army, inf;cting nearly or quite a
corresponding loss upon the enemy We
have pressed them back at some points
farther, at others almost as fap, as We
have ever had them before; bat with our
armies depleted and worn down We have
great deal OF hard campaigning and
hard fighting to do before taking their
strong holds. Oar successes have not
tecn all that was expected, but it might
have been orse with us.

The $aGO Consn,utation.

The Columbas Cri,;iS completely vim
dicates the Democrats FROM the charge Of
Inconsistency in originally denouncipe
the $500 commutation clause in the con-
scription law, and now denouncing its
repeal The CRISIS after calling attention
to the fact that Democrats III many in
stances aided poor men in raising the
$500 thus putting then on an equality
with the rieh. says Of the Aboiisianists:
Now what turns up? This same par
ty still in power being foiled in their first
attempt to force poor men into The army
whose families T.Gst suffer for want ct
support, and the rich remain at home,
hose families would have plenty even in
their absence, they, by their votes iu Con
sress, repealed the $500 comm ut.,tion, but
sustained the Substitute clause, putting it
III the power Of the very rich to pay from
one to fue thousand dollars for substitutes.
and thus save, by money, kides which
could not be saved without it. Such will
lie the price asked and paid for substi-
tutes that thousands who could pay $500
or their friends pay it for them, will now
be forced into the army. IhNs making
the matter thousand times worse than
before, instead Of better. This is what
the Democrats complain Of, should com
plain of, and they would not be good
Democrats if they did not complain of it.
And it is not alone Democrats who COM
plain Tens of thousands of former Re-
publicans, who still had faith in the honor
of their party, or prejudices strong enough
against the Democratic party to believe
the falsehoods of their own, are now as
bitterly opposed to the men who are thus
triaing with their good sense. their lives
and their property as are the Democrats.
This injustice and deception, that few
may grow rich and hold Office, is opening
the eyes of the most stubborn, and self
preservation will force them to open polit-
zeal action against any further sacrifices
sacrifices which thousands are unable to
make, without utter ruin.
The law at first was all wrong-it is
now great deal worse. A bad law made
ioorse is not an argument why its former
opposers should turn round and support
it /! That would be carrying consistency
to point not read OF in the logic of the
books, and it cannot be made good Logic

THE REBEL INVASION.
ESTIMATE OF THEIR NUMBERS
Destruction of Railroads.
DEFEAT OF UNION FORCES AT MO-
NOCACY.
Progress of the Invader

We compile from various sources an
abstract of the accounts Of the Rebel in
vasion Of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
AS We publish each days news as we re-
ceived it, some contradictions may occur,
though it will be found nearly correct.
The rebel expedition into Maryland has
assumed a more formidable shape. Gen
Wallace evacuated Frederick on Friday
evening to avoid being fanked by the
rebels, who had crossed the Potomac at
Nolan's Ferry and other fcrds. He fell
back to Monocacy junction, where he was
attacked on Saturday morning. The bat
our forces were overpowered and were
forced to retreat towards Baltimore.
Gen. Wallace, in his official dispatch
estimates the rebel force at 20, 900. Brig
Gen. Tyler is reported to have been taken
prisoner.
A. p. Hill, Breckenridge, and Early
are severally rumored to be III command
of the enemy. During Saturday nigh
the citizeDs of Baltimore were armed, anC
at clock on Sunday morning the alarm
bells were sounded. The greatest ex
eitement prevailed throughout the city
during the day. At IL A. M. Genera
Wallace was reported 26 miles from the
city, falling fack, but it was believed tina
the enemy was not following him, and The
main body it was thought were marching
for Washington.
! Gilmores rebel cavalry were at West
minister on Saturday night. A Washing
ton Star extra, at P. NJ, stated that th'
rebels were not pursuing Wallace; tina
satisfactory body of troops are in po
sition to reach Washington or Baltimor,
before the rebels and that the enemy ha
not appeared in the Department of Wash
ington.
! 4 Baltimore despatch, at p NJ, re
ports that the Northern Central Railroad
was cut between Timonium and Cockeys
Vile. and that rebel force, estimated a
l 1000, had passed above Cockeysville
going in the direction of the Philadelphi
railroad. Later dispatches announce tn,
safe arrival of Sigel's wagon train in Bal
timore.

Lincoln and His Advisers.


Whenever q blunder is made, frauds
are perpretrated, corruption is brought to
light, or inefficiency is exhibited in the
executive branch of our government, hun
drsds of blatant abolitionists exclaim
alt is no fault Of Lincoln. His bad ad-
yisers arc responsible" or, "his subor-
dinates are responsible. He is entirely
competent and honest"
Who is responsible for Lincoln's bad
advisers, and who is responsible for his
suherdinates Himself alone.
If he makes pirate of the Ship of
State, he will hardly escape by laying the
blame ON his crew. The crew is of his
own selection and may be dismissed at
his pleasure. If reelected it is equiva-
lent to the re-appointment of these same
bad advisers and corrupt subordinates.
It is sithsr foolish or dishonest to de-
neunce the host of corrupt men with whom
Lincoln has surrounded himself, aud yet
vote fer his reelection If this is the
most corrupt administration that ever dis
graced the earth, Lincoln made it SO; aud
voting fer him is not only endorsing the
appalling yillianiss of the past, but per.
petuating thsmfor the future.

Tuesday $ News.

The intelligence from the rebel inva.
sion of Maryland is very exciting. The
enemy appear to be in very large force
around Baltimore; they have been operat
ing successfully upon the Northern Cen.
trail and Philadelphia. Wilmington and
Baltimore roads, burning bridges and de-
stroying the tracks. Two trains have
been captured op the latter road, in one
of which was " Dajor-General Frank lin
and staff, who we're taken prisoners. The
destruction Of the bridge over Gunpowde,
creek is reported, and, although there are
some conflicting rumors respecting it.
there seems to be little doubt that it has
been burned The residence of ex-Gov-
ernor Bradford, of Maryland, has been
destroyed in retaliation for the burning
of the mansion Of Governor Le.cher in
Virginia by Gen Hanter. The work OF
destruction upon almost all the roads
leading into Baltimore seems to have been
complete The residents of that city are
promptly responding to the calls of the
Governor and Mayor, and it is said num-
ber ten Thousand effective men.
Gun boats have been brought up to aid
in the aefeuse of the city, and one of them
has succeeded i'll shelling the rebels from
their position at Bush river, north of Bal
timore. Heavy reinforcements have ar
rived at the Monumental City, and every
con 6dence is felt in the ability of the
military authorities to defend the place,
and unexpected reinforcement has made
it's appearance The Nineteenth army
corps, which was embarked at New Or
leans some time ago, it was thought. for
the purpose of an attack upon Mobile,
has reached Baltimore. 1t was undoubt-
edly destined for General Grants army.
but the emergencies of the case demanded
that it should be sent into Maryland. So
far as Baltimore is concerned. it seems to
be safe. The country in its vicinity and
the railroad lines will fall victims to the
ruthless hands of the destroyers, until
the forces can be put In position wherever
heavy blow of punishment can be in
hicted
The latest dispatches announced that
the rebels are within six mi,es of Wash
ington. They have destroyed everything
in their reach, and among ether acts of
vandalism, have burned the mansion of
Hon. s. Z. Blair, at Silver Spring
Skirmishing has taken place close to the
Notifications of the national capital But
no alarm is felt for the safety of Wash
ington. A portion of the Sixth corps ar
rived for its defense few days ago, and
yes erday the Eighteenth corps. under
Gen. w. F. Smith, came up from the
Army of the Potomac for that purpose.
I he strtpgth of the rebels is variously
es imatea. The Washington Star vouches
for statement that it is forty thousand
strong. and that Long>treet is en- route
from Gordonsville with his corps. There
are every indications that the invasion is
one in which very large portion of Lees
army is taking part, and that its object is
to capture Washington. Meanwhile, the
people are rushing to arms in every quar-
ter, and within the present week New
York will doubtless send forth several of
her militia regiments to aid in repelling
the invasion.

LincoIn's Respect for law.

Lincoln seems to think of laws and
constitutions as he does of disasters to
ur armies: that they are merely "little
okes. He treats the constitution as if
It were only to be tolerated when it suits
ils purposes, and not to be regarded for
moment when in the way of his schemes
He esteems laws much in the same
way. Congress before its adjournment
passed an act on the subject of the re-
Organization of seeded States. Mr.. Lin
coln complacently put the bill in his
pocket, and issued a proclamation, differ
ing materially from it, in it's stead The
Legislative brauchIof our govern ment must
be very useful when the executive not only
suppresses it's acts, but does the legislating
itself.
His respect for the decisions of courts
is quite as conmenda ble Two officers,
one of them Gen Dix, were arrested in
New York for violating the laws Of that
State, and are to be tried by its courts.
Mr.. Lincoln directs his friend Dix to re-
sist any mandate of the court which de-
rrives him of his liberty.
Mir. Lincoln without hesitation rides
down constitutions, laws and courts OF
justice. Do we want four years more OF

Martial E4aW I'm Kentucky

The President has issued Proclama-

exists for this extraordinary measure at
this time, does not appear very clear; bnt
We presume it is only the beginning oi
