REBEL INVASION OF MARYLAND.

AtSDI- AAN A9AON w N"fN'sA<-N%')'
BALTIMORE, July THE city is full
of rumors OF an exciting character in re-
gard to the rebel invasion. Intelligence
from Maryland Heights this morning,
warrants the belief that tue rebel force
now this side of the Potomac and or tbe
Virginia side lis larger than at first sup
posed 1T is believed that ii is Lot short
Of 10000.
Advices from Sandy Hook this NOR
ming say that an officer from Gen. Sigefs
headquarters reports skirmishing going
on back of Maryland Heights, but the
number of rebels there is small. The
rebels are driving Off cattle, horses, &c.,
and plundering the farmers iu the val
ley.
Advices from Greencastle, Pa, this
morning say that the rebels occupied
Hagerstown this morning, but their force
is not known. Col. Coles, of the Mary
land cavalry had a skirmish with small
rebel scouting force near Frederick at 2
o'clock, p. NJ, yesterday.
Later in the day two pieces of Alex
ander's Maryland Battery and detach-
ment of the 9Th Illinois cavalry went in
pursuit of the rebels, and last night they
drove force of 100 rebels through Mid,
dletown. While in MiddletOwn yester-
day the rebels stole all the horses and
other property they could find. A stable
keeper was killed for refusing to give
up his horses. Active movements by
our troops are going on. The railroad
is unobstructed as far as Sandy Hook.
LATER.-The r b Q at Harper's
Ferry destroyed all the railroad property
there, including the telegraph and ticket
offices. They also burnt large quantity
of forage. So far they have used no ar
tillery against our forces.
THE REBELS IN HAGERsTowN.
The Washington Star of the 7tb says,
information from Hagerstown is to the
effect that on Tuesday afternoon a rebel
squad of l5 cavalry, under 1t. Shaver,
entered that place, but soon a detach-
ment of our regular cavalry under 1t.
Mclean dashed into the place. A brief
cavalry fight ensued in the street which
resulted in the rebels being driven off
with the loss of their lieutenant and two
men as prisoners. About half an hour
afterwards the rebels again entered the
town with cavalry and mounted infantry,
when 1t. Mclean slowly fell back to
the Pennsylvania line. The rebels set
to work to destroy the telegraph, but
made no demonstration on the railroad.
They also plundered many stores.

rious repetition of the experience of
1912, when our vessels, armed with 49,
Founders, were constantly superior to
the English ships armed with 32-pound-
ers. The Kearsarge has battery of
two 11-inch shell guns, throwing 264
pounds of metal, one 30-pound rifle piv-
OF throwing 80 pounds, and two light 32-
Founders throwing ca pounds, making
total OF five guns throwing $50 pounds of
metal. Both were wooden vessels, the
Kearsarge was of 1880 tons, and the
Alabama 1860 tons burden. The forme r
carried 1870 men, and the latter 160-
not difference enough to give either side
any advantage in a fight.
Since she has been in commission
September, l862-tbe Alabama has de-
stroyed GO American vessels, valued at
fifteen millions of dollars, and as she
is sunk, our ship owners will all breathe
easier now.

A MODERATE MANA friend in the
pine woods on the shores of Grand Ira
verse Bay, Michigan, writes:
In our little would-be-if-it-could city
Composed of two score slab shanties, hall
that number of houses, and five hundred
stumps,) lives a decidedly original char
acter, of the name of Lawton, commonly
called "Old Lawton" for short. A very
estimable man he is, no doubt, but his
popularity is sLO'cness; an earthquake
couldn't start him from a walk. One
morning, while he was eating his break
fast, bis house was discovered to be on fire
on the roof, and the flames making con-
siderable headway. No ladder was to be
found on the premises, and old Lawton,
putting on his hat, proceeded deliberately
to one of his neighbors who lived some
little distance away in search Of one
Arriving, be knocked, and being admit
ted, the following conversation too k
place
"Good mo-o-o-rnin', Mr.. A."
"Good morning, Mr.. Lawton. Walk
in"
"Pretiy cold this mornin'."
"Yes, tits rather frosty. Take a chair"
"Wa'al, l can't stop long"-taking a
seat as he spoke. 81 cum to see ifI could
get that ladder of yourn little while,
Mr.. A. My house is on fire, and hain't
no way of gittin' onto the roof"
"Take that ladder and start, you old
fool" shouted Mfr. A, springing from his
chair and rushing out of the house.
He aud the ladder were at Mr.. Law
tons before that enterprising individual
had measured half the distance. The
house was saved, but it wasn't old Law
toms fault.

Rev. G. D, of Fayette Co., Ar
kansas, one of the genuine "forest born"
orators, preaching not long since on the
''glory of the saints" delivered the follow
ing burst of native eloquence, which is
TOO good to be lost
"Who, my brethren, can describe the
glory of a saint? Why, nothing on earth
can liken it. If you drill hole through
the sun, and put it on your head for
crown, and split the moon asunder, and
put the pieces on y our shoulders for
epaulets i you tear down the starry
curtain of the skies aud wrap it round
your body for robe, and ride to heaven
on the lightning wings of the tempest
this will be as nothing to the glory of the
saints !"

SNAKES USED AS WATCH Docs
Sir Emerson Tennent, in his work on
Ceylon, mentions communication he re-
ceived from gentleman we'll known in
Ceylon, regarding the cobra, the great
snake Of India :-"Did you ever hear Of
tame cobras being kept and domesticated
about house, going in and out at plea
sure, and in common with the rest of the
inmates ? In one family, near Negom-
bo, cobras are kept as protectors in the
place of dogs, by wealthy man who has
always large sums of money in his house.
But this is not solitary case of the kind.
| heard it only the other day, but from
undoubtedly good authority. The snakes
glide about the house, terror to thieves,
but never attempting TO hurt the inmates"

SEVERE ON PURE IvoRY.-An ex-
change says maliciously: "You carry a
beautiful cane-it cost $3,50-$I,5O ex-
ira on account of its beautiful, pure ivory
head. Your wife has costly fan with
pure ivory handle. In your pocket is
pure vory-handled penknife-v y
pretty and fine. On your table is a set
of knives and forks with pure ivory han.
dies, and little expense they have cost
for being pure ivory. The rings in your
costly double harness are pure ivory
The handles of beautiful parasols are
pure'ivory-and so on with all articles
useful and ornamental. But it happens,
however, that this pure ivory is manu-
factured from the shin bones of the dead
horses in the United States army"

lay upon the headland height, and listened
To the incessant sobbing Of the sea
In cayerns under me.
And watched the waves, that tossed, and fled
and glistened,
Until the rolling meadows of amethyst
Melted away in mist.
Then suddenly, as from sleep, started;
For round about me all the sunny capes
Seemed peopled with the shapes
Of those whom had known in days departed,
Apparelled in the loneliness which CLEANS
On faces seen in dreams.
A moment only, and the light and glory
Faded away, and the disconsolate shore
Stood lonely as before;
And the wild roses of the promontory
Around me shuddered in the wind, and shed
Their petals of pale red.
There was an old belief that in the embers
Of all things their primordial form exists,
And cunning alchemists
Could recreate the rose with all its members
From its own ashes, but without the bloom,
Without the lost perfume.
Ah, me what wonder-worklng, occult science
Can form the ashes in our hearts once more
The rose of youth restore
What craft of alchemy can bid defiance
To time and change, and for single hour
Renew this phantom-hower
30, give me back, cried, "the vanished splen
doris,
The breath of morn, and the exultant strife,
When the swift stream of life
Bounds DER its rocky channel, and surrcnders
The pond, with all its lilies, for the leap
Into the unknown deep"
And the sea answered, with a lamentation,
Like some old prophet wailing, and it said,
"Aas thy youth is dead
It breathes no more, its heart has no pulsation
In the dark places with the dead of old
1t lies forever cold "
Then said /, From its consecrated cerements
viii not drag this sacred dust again,
Only to give me pain;
Bat, still remembering all the lost endearments,
Go on my way, like one who looks before,
And turns to weep no more"
Into what lands of harvest, what plantations
Bright with autumnal foliage and the glow
Of sunsets burning low;
Beneath what midnight skies, whose constelia-
tions
Light up the spacious avenue between
THIS world and the unseen
Amid what friendly greetings and caresses,
What households, though not alien, yet not
mine,
What bowers Of rest divine;
To what temptations in lone wilderness,
What famine Of the heart, what pain and loss,
The bearing of what cross!
l do not know nor viii vainly question
Those pages of the mystic book which hold
The story still untold,
But without rash conjecture or suggestion
Turn its last leaves in reverence and good heed,
Until "The End" read.

The Result of the Election.

For four more years the administration
of the Government is to he continued II
the hands of Mr. Lincoln and his party
Their supremacy for the next two years
at anv rate. will be even more sweeping
than the last two They will have the
President. the Cabinet, two-thirds OF
Congress, and nearly all the State gov,
ernments. The people have determined
to give them the most abundant means to
carry out their policy toa successful ter,
minatiop.
The general ideas which have govern
ed large masses of the people in .'.eir sup
port of Mr.. Lincoln are these. That the
rebellion is nearly pct down and the south
conquered; that by re-electing Mr.. LIN
coin. it will show the rebels that We are
determined to conquer at any sacrifice.
and that they, having such a signal proof OF
it before their eyes, will be disheartened
and discouraged, and make haste to come
back under the old flag upoa Our own
terms. They have.been told this by hepuo-
lican editors and orators. and they have
believed it. They have been further told
that this early termination OF the war by
the conquest of the South would render
unnecessary any NOR" drafts, and that the
charge TO the contrary was an eiectioneer-
ing, Copperhead fabrication. They have
believed that the taxes would be light,
that cold would fall. a.d that very soon
after Mr.. Llncoln's reel ection things
would resume their old basis OF prosperity.
When these things could be accomplished
By the reelection Of Mr. Lincoln why give
the dsunion Peace Democrats the victory!
was the convincing argument employed.
Well, the people have fulfilled their
part Of the Observation-Disclosures is re elected
and il only remains for the Admnistra-
ton to fulfill the cheering expectations OF
its friends. We have only TO wait now for
the realization Of the bright picture which
has been painted before us i'll such roseate
hues and brilliant colors. The Admins
tration is aware Of this feet, and upon 1t
rests the mighty responsibility. II the
Lincoln promises are not luiilled-it We
have continual war, more onerous drafts
and oppressive taxation--it the Southern
reha = are not speedily conquercd-there
will be a great and bitter disappointment
upon the part OF the Lincoln voters
Whether in these particulars they arc 10
be disappointed or net. remain for the tu-
ture L. decide.
We have rot been able to see the pr"ba'
bilitv OF such brilliant results from Lin
coin reelection; have expected long and
protlactcd war. aggravated drafts and tax
=, and a general Generalization and ca
larnity. The rcone Will ere long see
whether th-Y were not cheated aud de-
cc,ved in their votes ~. Enqa6e..
