MIsERIEs OF THEATRICAL MAEAazns-The nan
ayers are an unhappy race. They are no sooner
out Of one trouble than they are into another.
1t Is but few days ago that they lad to submit
to the demand Of the musicians fsc higher pay
The managers demurredat frst to give the extra
amount Of bank notes required by the inexora-
BILE orchestra; but tho addlers kept their notes
to themselves, and the heenenF had 10 retire from
his position in good order. Now, it appears,
there Ii to be grand conference of actcss to
make similar demand, both on their own be-
half and that Of the female stass Of smalhnag-
nitude-the latter being willing either to accept
higher pay or to be provided with wardrobss
by the property man. We suppose there is
nothing left for the managers but to suocumb
or to drop the green curtain until greanbacks
rise In value.

ulate the proceedings that, like the Charleston
and Baltimore Conventions Of 1860, the Chicago
gathering will in reality aid and assist the re-
election of Abraham Lincoln. As they are
now going on. the danger is that the opposition
party will dwindle down to copperhead fao-
ton, and thus the opportunity that is and has
been offered to rescue the country from the
rule of fanaticism and blundering mismanage-
ment will be thrown away, and the reign Of the
smutty joker continued for four years more.
The politicians who are now attempting to
Drained politicians, the haugers-on Of the men
who once managed the party successfully Hav-
ing worked themselves into an imaginary import
ance and position that they do not compre-
hend, they think that they are really the party.
They fail to realize that, In revolutionary times
like the present, when gold and all the neces-
sary commodities of the household are rapidly
going up, the whole people are politicians that
they read, think and decide for themselves,
and trust to no politicians in resolving upon
their political action. Still further the pro-
fessional politician allows his passions to con-
troll him, while the masses calmly weigh all
events and decide accordingly. The fact of
the matter is the people will settle this con-
test in November without any regard to the
politicians If the latter attempt at Chicago
or elsewhere to force upon them candidates
and policy which they do not like, all of
their schemes will fall hopeless to the ground.
The sooner the politicians realize this fact the
better it will be for their interest and that of
the country.

The Rebel Advance anto Maryland
Their Early Retreat or Capture Ger
tain.
The city was considerably agitated yester
day by the publication of teiegrams respecting
the movements of the rebels in the State o
Maryland. The information was somewha
obscure, but sufficient was ascertained t.
establish the fact that the rebels had invaded
Maryland with force of some twenty five
thousand men, under Early, Breckenridge and
the notorious raider Mosby; had defeated
Gen. Lew. Wallace, with force of ten thousand
| Union troops, in brisk engagement on the
Mononacy, near Frederick, and had committed
some damage to the Northern Central Railroad
and to the Baltimore and Ohio road in the
vicinity of Frederick and the Monocacy.
We do not observe that there is any intelli-
gence indicating an advance either on Balti-
moro or Washington, although the alarm in
both cities seems to have agitated the nerves OF
the civic officials in a very considerable degree,
Some rebel scouts had been captured in Wash
ington, and report was spread that the enemy
had been seen in unknown force in the vicinity
Of Rockville, about fourteen miles from Wash
ington. If an attempt be made to advance on
the national capital from that direction it will
doubtless be found a proftless undertaking
A despatch from General Wallace to the Secre-
tary of State, dated at Ellicott's Mills, yester-
day evening, giving information of the safety
Of Colonel Seward, shows that the Relay House
station, with the Annapolis Junction, and
other roads converging to that point, are still
free from rebel intrusion, and that the commu-
nications between Baltimore and Washington
are unobstructed.
The intelligence from General Hunters
forces and from General Sigel is Of the most
cheering character. General Sullivans COM
mand, part Of Hunters force, had recaptured
Martnsburg, recovered the lost stores and
AASuS sASuS"u0 PAAoOuCAo. AuC lopols HUN
Sigel is that he was driving the enemy before
him from Maryland Heights up the Potomac,
towards Williamsport This is long stretch
Of territory, and the report may be an equal
slongation of the real truth; but Sigel appears
to be at work, and We may at last have the
satisfaction of giving publicity to some bril-
liant military achievement or the Teutonic
chief

tions Of the Union forces-information concern
ing which is Of course contraband and not to be
now publshed-we feel confident in stating
that the public excitement can, with reason, be
allayed, and that if the rebel intruders be not
successful In beating an early retreat they
will be surrounded BY the Union troops and
fall victims to their hostile advance upon Union
soil, which is equally an evidence Of their in
trepidity and folly.

GREELEY ON DIRTY LNEN.-One would
think, after the recent wringing of dirty linen
ut the hands of Thurlow Weed, that his claim
to be regarded as the best patent clothes
wringer would be undsputed; but it seems
that Horace Greeley ignores his claim in favor
of another machine, of which he Says
We have tested II by practical working and know that
will do 1t Is cheap; II is simple; it requires room,
whether at work at rest does duty thoroughly
advise all who have uch washing to do with all nte
gent persons who have any, to buy this wringer It
| will pay for itself in year at most.
The other clotheswringer, I. W., has paid off
good many of his old scores in considerably
less than year; but 7. W. is neither "simple"
nor '.cheap," like Greeley's favorite machine;
on the contrary he has cost his friends very
early, and made some Of them pay through
"a e nose lately; and be is about as simple" as
tS grayest old fox Of the whole lupine tribe, as
NO one knows better than poor Greeley. We
ars not surprised, however, that Greeley and
his friends prefer any clotheswringer to I. w.,
who works the machine so hard that be will
hard y leave rag after the operation.

TIE FIRST PAPER MoNEY.-A friend
hands us the following nterestin facts,
which he came across in his reading:
Ddring the war in Spain with the
Moors, in the year 1855, the count de
Teuaillay was besisged in the Fortress
Albania by the Moors. The count was
destitute of gold and silver to pay his
troops, aud the soldiers murmured greatly
that they hadnot the means of purchasing
necessarics from the people of the town.
In this dilemma he issued little bits Of
paper, on which he inscribed various
sums, both large and snail, signed with
his own hand and name, promising to re-
dem them at future time with silver
and gold Thus by miraculous kind Of
alchemy did the count turn worthless
paper into precious gold and make his inn
poverished garrison abound in money; that
Count de Tendilla redeemed his promise
Ike an honest Knight; and this miracle,
as it appeared in those days, is the first
instance on record of paper money, which
has since inundated the world.
