s;ble, having laid On embargo on ndviccs
from ttut quarter though, as will be seen,
not to the extent Of complete restriction on
dispatches. The rebels arc unquestlonably
in considerable force, SO much SO that Cooks
rnd Averell's advance WIS easily pushed
back, and in their retreat put more distance
between them aud the rebels than the latter
chose to occupy, for while cur forces
passed over to Wiliiausport, in Maryland,
the rebels did net essay, to cross the Poto-
mac. Is there an invasion intendcds We
believe tie Government is taking measures
us If it was certain. Meanwhile, the rebel
pause In the valley is doubtless made valua-
bic to them, in the collection Of supplies of
prime necessity ut Richmond, and which will
probably protract Grants task Of starving
them out in the rebel Capital. 1tmay be un-
der cover Of this GRAND they are maseins
their troops for a movement uorthward. 1t
will be presently known, and mean-~
while pIpguttndnous Pennsylvania bet

Tue adyices from Atlanta Indicate pause
in active lostilitiea, and trial at siege opera
tions On our part. This is highly satiefacto-
RI bnd should be so considered. 4 too easy
occupation Of A1lunta would be sure token
IT the transfer of tile rebel forces to some
ottcr part Of the field Of war, where perhaps
We cannot attend to them as well US ut At
1anta- Gen. Sherman's campaign will be all
the more complete and glorious If the rebels
stand up etiliy to be thrashed. The returns
OF the late BATTLES continue to attest the
magnitude Of our success, which inflicted

The sitnation in the theatre OF war sends
hack to the people loud appeal for men.
Gigantic operations must pause mid d~ar,
and perhaps fail, unless the rapidly wasting
matcria1 Of our armies is supplied from
among the people, The GoveFnmeut has
appreciated this and drawn on the people
at Gffy 6ays, for half million men The
drah will not be disnonored. and even Gov.
Seymour cannot successfully protest it.
From Grants army nothing to indicate a
change in the situation. Army corres-
ponden1s. private letters, and ouS confidence in
Grant, all assure us he is not idle. Present.
ly it will be known what is being done be
hind the screen that shronds his workers and
his plans.
Our Tash1ngto ton special dispatches are vol
luminous and highly interesting. Appro-
1,riatcly accompanying is the appeal to the
people, from Secretary Fessendln, elsewhere
given, for new 1oan. Our telegraphic cor
situation, which will be perused with inter
tercst.
But money, the einews Of war, must be
lind, and the New Loan is in the market
The secretary Of the Treasurygiyes notice
that subscriptions will now be received for
Treasury notes payable three years from
August 18th, bearing $40 per cent interest
in currency, and convertible ut the option OF
the lolderat maturity into flye-twenty bonds
bearing six per cent Interest In gold. The
amount which he thus appeals to the people
to loan 10 their Government is S20o, COO. On
1he promptnees Of the people to respond to
this call will be based both at home and
:.hroad, confidence In our standing aud abili-
~ 10 carry On the gigantic work Of this war.
The people will be equal to the demand.
Several new and important rcforms ere
icing introduced into our National Postal
System Among the most important OF
these is the new money order system, which
has been IN process Of preparation in the Do
purtment for some time past. It Is thought
1t will be fully matured and in operation by
the first Of Ocrober> The necessary blank
forms, books, instructions, &c, are now be-
ibg rapidly prepared. Arrangements are
also beng perfected for the distribution Of
The mails while III tra,tsitu, similar to the
System SO long pureued in Great Britain,
France aud other European countries. 1t
has been mRtter of surprise to business
men why the system Of distributing mails
for way points aud Of sorting letters while
IN rcute, SO Us to facilitate their carly and
certain delivery, has net been adopted soon
,er. Travelling Post-of1lces have constituted
an important brauch Of the postal arrnnge
Inerts Of England ever since their railroad
system was completed; and even before th1t
period. II has been found to work well,
aid there Is no reason ~by 1t should not op
crate to equal advantage in tlis country.
The city Was 6addened ycsterday By rumors
from the Shcnar doah OF the death Of the
gallaut Mulligan. The statements In tue
Ais, atchcs elsewhere are conflicting, and We
prefer to hope for tho best The
dispatch to bis relatives in this
city, signed By his brotht rim law, Allen,
distinctly aeserts his capture: It will be a
loss to the service If he is prisoner, but the
,ccltAin knowledge that such is his fata will
hca relief We are Inclined to believe that
he is alive, though in rebel hands. To- 1ay
vii! eolvc the doubt
a Leayenwcrth dispatch ANNOUNCES tht
death Of Samuel Hallett, Of New YorH, sho'
dead ut Wycndotte, Kansas, in m attray o
which no particulars are given.
