Dickens, in his Mutual Friend, mag
niles "Shares" as follows. There are many
this side the ocean who have already
adopted his doctrine. They have no
country, no heart, no convictions. There
entire being is Shares"
The mature young lady is a lady of

Is gentleman of property. He invests
his property. He goes, in a condescend-
ing amateurish way, into the city, attends
meeting of directors, and has to do with
traffic in shares. As is well known to the
wise in their generation, traffic in shares is
the one thing to have to do with in the
world. Have no antecedents, no estab-
lished character, no cultivation, no
ideas, no manners have shares

1t is difficult to learn anything about
what H doing or going to be done up to
the present writing Raiders are still on
south side of the Potomac and our forces
hold all the fords
am reliably informed that the. aU-
thorities here understand this to be
same force that made the previous
raid, with the addition of Imboden's cav
airy and two new divisions from Rich
mORd. This would swell their number
to something like $4,000.
If this conclusion be correct, 1 suspect
the enemy will not be content by merely
holding and harvesting the Shenandoah
Valley, but will push further north after
they have cleaned that district.
1t is not safe, however to make
any predictions yet either as to the
number or intention of the rebels.
The tendency always is, in such times, to
over estimate.
A few days ago a supply boat took

ashore to look around, when they were
gobbled up by 10 rebel guerrillas who
were prowling about there; neither of the

The news from the new raid is suspici-

Idle Girls.

The number of idle, and useless girls in
all our large cities seems to be steadily in
creasing. They lounge or sleep through
their mornings, parade the streets during
the afternoon, and assemble in frivolous
companies of their own and other sex to
pass away their evenings. What a store
of unhappiness for themselves and others
are laying up for the coming time, when
real responsibilities shall be thOughtlessly
assumed They are skilled in no domes-
tic. .duty-nay, they despise them; have no
habit Of industry nor taste for the useful.
What will they be as wives and mothers
Alas for the husbands and children, and
alas for themselves. Who car wonder if
domestic unhappiness or domestic ruin
follows. It is ,one of the worlds Oldest
maxims that idleness is the mother of all
evil and wretchedness. How sadly strange
is it that SO many parents-mothers espe-
eially-forget this, and bring up their
childIsu in dainty idlaness They are but
sowing the wind,,Uo reap the whirlwind.

General Grant has Confidence.

IInffa1 CAaHaz S.
oOusin has Just returned from Grants army
and brings cheering intelligence.
Governor Ramsey had conversations
with General Grant, who told him to re-
quest the people of the North TO ''possess
their souls in patience" all will come
out right-that his success is without doubt
that his grand plan has been successfully
carried out so far, and is certain to be sue
sessful in the end. General Grant has
never felt greater confidence of success
than he feels now But it is stupendous
work he has before him, and the people
must not be unreasonabls in their antiei-
pations they must notlexpect that to be
done in q week which cannot be done in
month; fori they will but have patience,
they will in due time be fully repaid for
the exercise Of that virtue, by the splendid
success that will crown the efforts of the
Army of the Potomac to overwhelm the
chief army of the rebellion. The destruc-
ton of Lees army will be almost equal to
the suppression of therebellion. The peo-
pie, therefore, can afford to wait, if that
achievement is likely to result from the
present apparent inaetivity-for it Is more
apparent than real"

Estimate Of Losses by the late Rebel
Raid.


It is estimated that the entire loss will
not much exceed two millions of dollars
OF this amount the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad suffered
to. the extent of something over one hun
dred thousand dollars; the Northern Cen
trail to about the same amount; the Balti-
more and Ohio had seven bridges and four
miles of track and several station houses
destroyed; telegraph companies were
damaged to the amount of three or four
thousand dollars; the Chesapeake and
Ohio cannal had the aqueduct at Antietam
destroyed, and all the locks betweee An
tietam and Williamsport demolished, with
between twenty and thirty boats. The
county losses are estimated as follows =
Hartford county, 5000; Baltimore coun-
ty, $4,000; Carroll county, $4,000;
Frederick county, S372,oOO, including
100000 ransom money; Washington
county $50, 900, and the balauce was lost
by farmers, slorekeepers and others, in
damage to farms, the pillaging of shops,
running of cattle, horses, &c. 1t is but
right and proper that the sufferers by this
raid should be idemnifed for their losses;
and the best, surest and most speedy way
Of getting the funds therefor is to assess
the rebel sympathizers in Maryland for
the amount required.

Good Financial Prospect.

The statement in Secretary Fessenden'I
appeal to the people, that the Treasury not
unfrequently receives million day, as
the tax on incomes, bank-tax, lieense-fee,
&c, begins TO come indicates, as the Secre-
tary says, one million per day will in
a short time be the rule rather than the
exception. That the revenue act will,
however, yield an average of million per
day, for a year, is not expected; even three
hundred millions is higher estimate than
and one has made for the yearly receipts.
