TEE MAINLAND RAID, is one OF the most
perplexipg and vexstiou features Of the war,
The extended. confused, aud contradictory
statements. have only the effect to bewilder
and befog the earnest reader. We have 6ght-
ings and skirmishipgs detailed, by squads gra-
ded up to armies Of twenty, and even thirty
thousands We have had however, one set
engagement 10 which Gen. Lew Wallace is said
10 have repulsed the raiders, three successive
times, and was worsted at that we have the
cutting of telegraph wires, and the isolation OF
Washington. and the burning OF the long
bridge over Gun Powder creek, and then the
denial Of it. We have pictures Of the ease
and uouchalance Of Washington, and the reb'
within Eve miles Of the Capitol We know uot
what to credit aod hesitate to mislead ouI
readers by making use OF the dispatches that
an oar city dulles. The Tribune of Tuesday
winds up an article on the subject. as follows
What we have to say, therefore of this raid
is what we have said from the beginning
There is an occasion for patriotic effort and
selfpossession on the part of the North. but
there Is no cause for alarm. The Governme pl
is not taken by surprise. Neither Baltimore nor
Washington is unproit cted. We were as.
surcd yesterday from source not to be con.
tradicted that Gen. Grant knew Of the Rebel
movement ten days ago, and prepared for it.
The public may be confident that there Is am
pie force 10 Maryland to resist, and, il it cat
overtskc them, to annihilate the invaders.
Our fear is ooiy lest the pursuit may not be 81
rapid as the Rebel fight.
Thursdays news is less appalling! Wash.
ipgton, we are assured has not been taken, or
even attacked. The cars are running between
Baltimore and Washington. and only Que stsrv.
cd rebel has been discovered.
Grant is all right; Generals Tyler and Fsank
lin who were taken prisoners. are safe; the
sords Of the Potomac are guarded by Ohio
troops and Baltimore still under the effects o {
the scare, but Washington still preserves her
coolness and propriety.
