dispatched to intercept the rebel raid
ers and he has reached Hanover Court
house.
A Washington dispatch to thePhila-
delphia Inquirer, dated July IA, 3 a.
M, says the enemy began their re-
treat across the Potomac about II
O'clock last night. They had held
Rockville, about five miles from the
Potomac, at base. This morning
our forces started in pursuit, and we
may yet be able to intercept their re-
treat south. They are conveying
their plunder as well as impressed cit
izens, with them. Our losses will
not exceed five hundred. We made
considerable captures.

BENEFITS OF THE WAR. -

"a
1st Then, this war will destroy forev-
er the curse of tSlace,y, the cause of this
.horrid warfare with all its calamities, ma
king us truly free people, and our gov
ernment in fact, as well as in theory, the
model government of the world.
ID. This war will destroy a Southern
monarchgsip embryo and establish freer
institutions and better population in the
South.
Sd. This war will give us a uniform
National Cuareacy founded on the wealth
and faith of the whole Union, instead of
an insecure local State currency, issued
in open and fragrant violation Of the Con-
stitution of the United States, which ex-
pressly declares that no State shall IS
sue bills of credit" which Mr. Madison,
the father of the Constitution, says was
inserted to prevent the States from crea-
ting, OF authorizing others to create, spa
per money" and thus, also, restoring the
control of the currency to the National
Government, to which it Constitutionally
belongs.
4th Our National Debt, not equal to
one-har of the British debt, will, like
theirs, constitute most powerful cement
to hold the Union together should all else
fail. Our National Debt consisting of
government bonds and notes in the hands
of the people, will, when the Union is
assailed, rally all hands to the rescue, to
save their money which must go down
with the government, and even the mi
ser who would not before give cent to
save the Union, will then wade knee deep
in blood, to save his greenbacks and cou-
pons.
5th. A high Protective Tariff to pay
the interest of the war debt will be in
dispensable, checking the importation of
foreign goods and the expectation of spe-
Gle, increasing our wealth, national and
individual, and developing our rich and
exhaustless resources, mineral, manufac-
turing and agricultural.
9th. The high wages Of labor, occa-
stoned by the war, will add greatly to our
national wealth and strength, by attract
ing to our shores the labor, capital and
skill of foreign lands, to make our rail
roads, improve our prairies, fill our facto-
ries and workshops, and our armies with
brave men,
9Th. This war will preserve and per-
petuate our free Republican form Of Coz
erameW BY eqaalizing ,eealM and proper
ty among the people, taxing the rich for
the benefit of the poor-the millions paid
by the wealthy being distributed among
the soldiers and their families in the shape
of pay, bounties, pensions, land annuities
and grants, leveling upwards, and check

drew Stewart on the f" War and its Con-
sequences" They present the subject in

ESNER "a CIT
From, the Remarks Of Hon. A. Ste~art,
on the 4th Of July, at Fayette Springs.
The irrepressible conflict" between
Freedom and ,S1aye,y commenced by the
Rebel Shareholders of the South to de-
stroy the Union, and establish on its ru-
ins an order of Aobility and monarchy
founded on Slavery, will end only in the
utter overthrow of Slavery itself, and the
establishment of genuine Republican gov
ernments in the entire South, after the
confseation and distribution of the enor-
nous landed estates of the rebel leaders,
among their conquerors, the brave sold
iers, and honest freemen of the North
ern, Middle and Western States.
This war has been permitted by Divine
Providence for great, wise, and benefcent
purposes.
No great revolution was ever achieved,
or great blessing conferred by the Al
mighty on man, but through much blood
and suffering, and the blessings conferre d
bear just proportion to the suferings en-
dured; and so it will be now.
Like. most things, this war has two
sides, dark and bright one-during
the conflict we are permitted to see the
dark side only, its battles and its burdens,
its taxes and its tears butafter the storm
comes the sunshine, and 4" after this cruel
war is over" will come the benefits and
blessings to compensate, and more than
compensate, for all the blood and treas
ure expended in the conflict.
Now let us draw aside the vail, and
turn our delighted vision for moment
to the bright side of the picture. For
this purpose permit me to indicate briefly
some of the benefits this war will bring
benefits which no brief war, but only
such a prohacted war as this can possibly
secure.

TIE SPRING TIDE.

The spring tide Of emigration Is fast set
ting in toward our borders. The tide OF last
year, surprising as it was to ourselves, and
astonishing as It must have been to strangers,
was regarded rather in the light of excitement
and adventure than as the sober reflection OF
intelligent minds proposed to take up their
permanent abode among Us. But in this
opinion we find ourselves mistaken. The emf
grafton TO Siverland will be greater this
year than ever before. Our desert wastes and
mountain Businesses are throwing of their
solitude before the onward march Of enter
prise. Our hills, more barren and desolate
than the rock-bound shore which greeted our
Pilgrim Fathers yield to the ingenuity OF
mechanic art, and pour their Silvery streams
into the rich Golfers of the world. 1t is but
little over year ago that the Reese River
excitement called the attention Of the coun-
try in that direction, and to-day cities and
towns dot the gentle landscape OF our neigh
boring hills; and but recently that the spirit
of adventure and development has pushed on
to our extreme border as Territory, to the
lovely and inviting prospect in Colorado.
Mining excitement has been the ruling
passion in the United States for a number Of
years. Since lS4T, when the discovery Il
gold in California was first made known to
the world, the scenes Of adventure. history
and romance, have been thrilling and excit-
ing, and frequent beyond all former Prece-
dent. Thither has flowed the great tide from
all countries. for the over-pervading desire to
secure wealth. We at this time, perhaps,
NAV wonder why SD few of the strong
in spirit and powerful in body should have re-
ceived so little of the riches from our soil,
and the satisfactions of ease. This wonder
may be good twenty years hence, in respect to
our own time. From the depths Of the earth,
which we have tread, come the millions upon
millions which enrich the inhabitable cart ,
and yet how few Of the discoveries and prac
teal workers Of our mines can claim for
themselves the riches Of their careful toll and
hard earned achievements But SO runs the
course of wealth. If the people were not
attracted by the fair name of our Territory,
thew would go somewhere else, no doubt, and
undergo disappointments and displeasure as
well as here. Our oldest citizens speak con-
sdentlv of the richness of our mines, and be-
come eloquent on our future wealth and pros
uerity as a State in the good old Union. Ger
tainly the country is fast filing up, its MINES
are fast undergoing development, and we al
ways mention Nevada with feelings OF pr'oe
and glow of satisfaction.

PATENT AMALGANAToR--Thoma HansbrOw.
Of this city, who has recently returned from
visit to the Eastern states and Europe, obtained
while absent patent for IN amalgamator which
ne had invented previous 10 his departure from
the state. The patent was granted on the 7th Of
October 1863. The originality claimed for the ap-
paratus consists of the " sun and planet motion "
Of the common rotating mullers." fat bot
toned iron pan IN used, in which from two TO ten
nullers Of either iron granite driven for the
purpose of working the pulp md bringing the
gold or silver in contact with the quicksilver.
Each of these mullers, instead Of being driven
around the outer edge of the pan by simple mo-
ton is by means of a cog-wheel running on the
central shaft, kept revolving on its own axis. BY
This arrangement a muller twelve inches in diane
ter not ouly moves twelve feet in making one revo-
linton in 4 ian four feet in diameter, but turns
eight times on its own axis The effect Of the ap-
para,us in motion is thorough and effective agi-
tation of the pulp, which cannot be produced by
the simple motion of the ordinary muller. Sew.
-ral other original points are claimed by Hans
brow. One consists of a mechanical device for
fitting the pan for the purpose Of cleaning up, and
another for raising the mullers instantaneously
when necessary, by means Of lever, from the
pulp. Arrangements are In progress, We are in
formed. for the manufacture of this apparatus in
this city-Sde. Union, 1lta.
