THE LABOR QUESTION.

We give room to-day in our columns
for communication on the subject of the
reduction of miners wages. As we said
yesterday, we do not believe that any
general movement to that effect will be
made by the mire-owners and mill-men.
Our correspondent we know to be a
working miner, and as such he is entitled
to the fair and courteous expression OF his
views. Communications of that kind are
always welcome to a place in our paper.
We do not claim to be the advocate or
champion of any particular class OF our
fellow citizens, but our columns are al
ways open to any and all who desire the
use of them for the expression Of their
sentiments upon any topic of public inter-
est. As far as our position on the matter
IS concerned, we have only to state our
candid opinion that four dollars per day
is as little as q white man, who under
stands his business, can afford to work
for, and that if they are paid less than
that, the amount Of work they do will be
in proportion.

Latest Accounts from the Raiders-
They Spare Frank r. Blair's House,
but Burn MOnfgOmery's-F Fighting
Mt Rockville-The Rebels Cross the
Potomac ON their Retreat.
BALTIMORE, July 1.-The Washington
Chronicle of to-day says: The rebels first
made their appearance at Colesville, north
of Washington, at o'clock p. NJ, on Mon
day, the 18th. Our informant says that
from what he could learn the rebel force on
the north side of the Potomac consisted of
Johnston's, Early's and Hills divisions.
He saw most of Johnston's and Early's
men pass through Colesville when they
came into Maryland. Nearly all were on
foot, but they picked up nearly all the
horses in the country, and now most of
them are mounted. Johnston took the
east road from Colesville and moved to-
ward Belleville, while Early's division
moved toward Washington on the Sew
enth street road. 1t is understood that
Hills division also marched toward Wash
ington, on line west of Early's.
Our informant conversed with several
rebel officers, and thinks it was not their
intention to attempt to take Washington,
but to distract the attention Of Grant from
Richmond. Johnston had seven pieces Of
artillery, but our informant did not see
any with Early. On Tuesday morning,
the 18th, the pickets of Johnson and Ear.
Tvs divisions fred into each other by mis-
take near Colesville. F. P. Blair's resi-
dence was headquarters of the rebels
while in the vicinity. Nothing there was
disturbed, owing to the former friendly
relations between Breckenridge and the
owner. Several rebel wounded were left
at his house. The residence of Mont
gomery Blair was burned, with its con-
tents.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
rebels fell back from their position north
Of Notifications at Tenallytown to Rock
vile, closely pursued by our cavalry.
These engaged the enemy throughout the
day, with varying success.
Rockville was in our possession half a
dozen times, but reinforcements were sent
to the enemy, and they would re-occupy it
until our troops came again. Such was
the fighting in the vicinity of Rockville
yesterday. Neither party gained any de-
cided advantage.
PHILADELPHIA, June IA special dis
patch to the Inquirer, dated Washington,
this morning, says the enemy began to re-
tire across the Potomac at midnight. They
had held Rockville, five miles from the
Potomac, as their base. This morning
our forces started in pursuit. The rebels
are carrying their plumber, as well as i'm
pressed citizens, with them. Our losses
will not exceed five hundred. We have
made considerable prisoners.
