FURTHER PARTICULARS.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 29.-The following are the
facts, as far as can be gathered, of the raid on
the Baltimore aud Ohio railroad:
About O'Clock, Monday afternoon, q rebel
force, estimated at from 800 to 1000 strong,
appeared In front of New Creek station, which
was defended by small body Of troops behind
either surrendered or fed.
In short time the enemy were In full pos
session Of the post. They blew up the earth
works and destroyed all the temporary and
other buildings, except the residence OF Col.
Armstrong, who Is either now or has been in
the rebel army.
The cutting Of the telegraph wires gave the
alarm TO the railroad men at Piedmont, where
upon all the rolling stock of the company and
other movable property was sent away.
Toon After the enemy reached Piedmont and
destroyed the road house OF the company, a
largo Workshop, and Q considerable quantity
OF valuable stationary machinery. 30 far as Is
known, no damage was done TO the railroad
track or bridges.
Tho enemy are reported to have LEFT In
southerly direction. There Is reason to hope
that the raiders will be overtaken by forces
sent in pursuit.

grew out of it, ,oiA by force of The Constitution pass
10 me arbirament of Of tato and to the councils OF
legislation"
This answer, though "altogether unauthorized"
might be satisfactory to US and to tho people who
think with US, if we did not happen to have the
declaration of another Cabinet officer (and that too
of one popularity supposed to be not the least n the
confidence of Mr.. Lincoln) who has publicly af-
irmed that this question is not to be remitted to
the "cours of law or the councils of Legislation" "
We allude to the Postmaster Genera, who, in a
speech made at Cleveland during last year, held
the following language:
The people once slaves in the reb States can never
again bs recognised as such by the United States No
JUDICIAL DECISION, NO LEGISLATIVE ACTION. STATE OR
NATIONAL can be admitted reenslave people who
are assocsted with desines in this Of de-
fence to the Government, aud whose manumpsion
was deemd essential to the resorat and preservation
OF the Union, anf TO its permanent peacc."s
Where members of the same official household
speak such various language, where the one afirms
what the other denies, there can of course be no
foundation for public confidence in personal decla-
rasions this score We are left to grope our way
towards the truth as best we may, when those
who should be our guides simply darken counsel
by the multiplication of words that bring assured
knowledge. But the mere existence Of such posi-
tive contradiction in the same body argues fatal
want of unity in its members, springing, we are
willing to believe, from the want of any logical
system of constitutional ideas in the conduct of the
Government for, if this explanation be not accepted
in charity, it only remains to suppose that such
antiquities of speech part of deliberate sys-
tenn to palter with the people by the use of words
in double sense-a resort which, however COM
mon among inferior politicians, is altogether incon-
ceivable in the case of officers removed alike by the
purity of their characters and by the elevation of
their position above the suspicion of engaging in
such an easily detected species of jugglery. When
such men hold different language with regard to
the same policy we may be sure it is the fault of
the policy ITSELF and is not the offspring of du-
plicity 1t only remains for us to say that in his
Niagara manifesto the President has himself
+" defaed his position" on this question in terms
which leave no room for misapprehension on the
part of any who do not wish to be deceived, and
which render US quite Independent of the CLOSES
furnished by commentators inside or outside of
the Cabinet.
