THE REBEL INcURsIoN.

"Hostillties around Washington and
Baltimore have ceased" says one of the
mornings dispatches from Washington.
The great rebel raid is over" says an
other. 1.-The main force of the rebels is
now (Thursday) in full retreat, trying to
save their booty" it is further added.
These are the great facts of the mornings
news, though there. are other matters of
interest. such as the reopening of tele-
graphic and railroad communication With
Washington, and the escape of Gems.
Franklin and Tyler.
This whole affair has collapsed as rap
idly and unexpectedly as it came into
view. During the ten days of its exist
cnce, We have hardly been able to make
out what sort of an affair it was. It's
magnitude, its leadership, its character
and object-regarding these points we
have had the most contradictory state
mcnts. They menaced Baltimore; they
ravaged Maryland; they menaced Wash
ington, and had fight at it's outside
works; and on the first serious attempt
being made by a respectable body of
troops to repulse them, they decamped.
This is the brief history of the "raid"
or invasion"
On Wednesday morning. after the pre-
vious days fight at Fort Steveus-after
they had found that Washington was
thoroughly defended, and had heard that
a large force was gathering against them.
they began their retreat. 1t seems that
they commenced retreating across the Po-
tomac at Edwards Ferry, some thirty
miles above Washington, which rather
looks as if they were going to take a
short cut for Richmond. The greater
part of them succeeded in mounting them
selves upon captured horses while in Ma
ryland, and will thus retreat as mounted
infantry. We have until the last two
days been deficient of cavalry in this re-
gion of action; but as the forces of Crook
and Averill have arrived in Maryland,
there may be some prospect of an effective
pursuit.-M Y Times.

The mcanest Of all mean things. to our
understanding, is running in debt to the
printer and then running away without
paying him. The next meanest thing is
refusing or neglecting to pay, after being
repeatedly asked for it, though it is fully
acknowledged to be due. Such men are
not much, if any, above robbing hen
roosts, and some of them must be mean
enough to steal sheep. Judging from the
way our calls for pay from men who owe
US from two to FIVE dollars and over have
been answered, we have on our books the
names of men who are mean eroug to do
about as dirty work as could he asked of
the mcanest. We don't want to believe
it, but unless those men to whom we have
sent bills, and who have not answered
them, condescenl to let US hear from them,
we shall be obliged to think and believe
that they are good deal nearer being
awfully mean than we had supposed them
to be. We had supposed all our subscrib-
ers to be good honorable men, and we
want to believe so still, but it is awful
hard work, and we can't hold out much
longer, and don't mean to try to. If we
are Obliged to give up our good opinion OF
men whom we took to he friends and
whom we have treated as friends and want
to do SO still, and are driven by their
neglect Of us, in failing to pay us or try
ing to do SO, to believe them to be mean,
dirty. low.lived. worthless, Insignificant,
lying scalawags, of course it will be OF
interest to the public to know who they
are who act in way to induce such an
opinion of themselves and we shall not
promise not to tell.
