Hard Times Ahead.

The latest official reports Of the agricultu.
raj bnreau in the Department OF the Interior,
at Washington, show an alarming decrease in
the supply of staple articles of food through.
out the country. During the last two years
the wheat crop has fallen off about oue-eiR Rhlh,
corn and hay one-tenth, barley one-seventh,
beef more than one.flth, and pork more than
one-lourlh,
The present high prices Of food are not due
solely to the depreciation Of the currency, but
also to the growing scarcity OF the commodi-
ties themselves. The material resources Of
the country are now, in fact, undergoing a
rapid process of exhaustion, whose future
progress will be measured by the steady en-
hancement Of the prices OF all the necssiAries
of life. The pressure of the war has hardly
been felt in the North until within the last
year, henceforth we are TO feel it growing
every dav closer aud heavier,

The work of Congress.

Congress, at the late session, passed
two hundred and thirteen acts. and sixty
joint resolutions. The President signed
all the bills presented 20 him. including
the bill repeating the fugitive law. ex-
cePt the Reconstruction bill, of Winter
Davis, Of Md. which provided that no
State which has been in rebellion shall
he entitled to vote for electors or be rep
resented in Congress. until the President
shall proclaim under an act OF Congress
hereafter to be passed, that it is out of
the insurrection. 1t is this clause, prob
ably, that the President did not approve.
for in other respects the bill passed by
Congress bears a close resemblance to the
Presidents proclamation declaring the
terms upon which the people of the in
surgent States may resume their civil
rights. The bill provided for universal
freedom. and repealed all State laws rec
ognizinr or regulating slavery. 1t also
provided that a majority of persons en-
rolled by the United States Marshal
might ~re-organize the State. while the
Presidents plan authorized one-tenth of
the citizens to do SO. The bill was not
signed nor returned to Congress before
the final adjournment.

in this issue, which leaves less than usual
room for articles on other topics. The
rebels are evidently acting with desperate
rashness, in yenturing so far North at this
time in search of plumber and food. Their
daring and adventure is surprising at this
time, when it was supposed they were so
closely hemmed in about Richmond that
they could not come North in any formid-
able array. But they come like "a thief
at night" and have thus far been only
too successful in eluding Northern forces.
If they hope to make another diversion
similar to last year, in hope ofdrawing the
Potomac Army from Richmond to save
Northern cities, we trust they will be
disappointed. We do not think Gen1
Grant will be diverted from his grand
object by this thrice repeated rebel STRAIT
egy. There are sufficient troops in the
North to take care of it, if properly man.
aged, and we are not so paralyzed with
dire apprehensions as to believe W. So
900 rebels can take Baltimore and Wash
ington. If they can, it will be time to
entertain forebodings of i~rreparable disas-
ter to the Union cause. 1t cannot be that
the millions of men yet in the North,
will supinely fold their arms at a crisis
like this.
Why the East does not rush to the res
cue, as did the West, when rebel raiders
threatened our Western Metropolis, is
hard to understand. In like emergency,
Ohio would in two days have $4,000
squirrel hunters" confronting the au-
dacious hordes of rebeldom. Pennsylva-
MIA should be able to defend her borders
from whatever raiders the South may be
able at thistime to send on an expedition
of invasion and robbery. That is the
feeling in Ohio.

Invasion of Maryland.

A dispatch dated two miles south Of
Hagerstown, 10 a. m, to-day states that
$50 picket guerrillas from Imboden and
Moseby's commands entered Hagerstown
at 5 o'clock where they were robbing the
stores and had fred the Engine House,
Illusions Warehouse and 200 tons of
Government hay.
They also intended to burn Zeloss &
Cos. warehouse, and threatened to burn
the town. The turntable of the railroad
had not been disturbed yet.
The rebels were heavily laden with
plumber.
The rebel Gen. McClancand with his
brigade, wa at Williamsport this morn
ing, but reports say that he will leave
that place to-day.
A high wind is blowing the fire up
through the town (Hagerstown, and a
great destruction of property was feared.
Late dispatches from Green Castle, as
sures us that the main body of the rebels
which entered that place, had retired
1t is supposed they vent southwark across
the Potomac.
There has been no fighting to-day ex-
cept some picket firing by our skirmish-
ers, who are feeling the position of the
rebels. During last night they fell back
from the line 8hich they occupied during
the fight and are o reported to be in
possession of Middletown.
The rebel force is now estimated to be
about 5000 strong.
Frederick of to-day is not like the Fred
erick of yesterday.
Since the arrival of Gen. Lew Wallace
with his reinforcements, the appearance
of the city is entirely changed. Business
has been resumed and the people seem
confident that the danger IS passed.
FREDERICK, Md, July s, 2 P. N.
The rebels have retreated fully four
miles from their position of yesterday on
the road TO Boonsboro and Hagerstown.
Gen. Wallace and Staff are actively en-
gagged, and everything looks well. Fred
erick is in no danger.
One gun was captured by us yesterday.
The 1lth Maryland 100 days men have
arrived here and been well received.
BALTIMORE, July s, 2 P. N.
A dispatch from Harper's Ferry this
morning confirms the evacuation of that
place by the rebels, and says our troops
again hold it. The old flag floats ones

Rebel and Copperhead Unity

The consanguinity of puspose and sem
timent between the two classes of enc
mics to our Government and its institu-
tions-the Rebels of the South and the
Copperheads of the North - becomes
more plainly manifest as the war pro-
crosses. They are allied in purpose and
sentiment, although their interests are
dissimilar. The former would rule, the
latter would bow in subserviency. The
former would be the master-the latter
the willing sycophant. The nature of the
one is to domineer-the nature of the
other to acknowledge the assumed supe-
riority of that domination, and truckle
in fawning submission thereto. The one
seeks the overthrow and destruction of
that which it can not WELD in favor of its
own aggrandizement-the other seeks
the accomplishment of the same incendi-
airy purpose, that il may receive favor at
the hands of the power before which it
debases itself in adject obeisance. The
one would be despot-the other slave.
Stripped of all disguise and fustian, such
is the simple, unadorned fact, unrelish-
ing as it may appear. The one possesses
the dare and dash that attaches TO rule,
the other the cowardice that is insepara-
BILE from servility. Too cowardly to es-
pouse the rebel cause by taking up arms
and enrolling himself IN the armies of
the South, yet the COprerhead would
lick the hand that smites him, and base
ly truckle to the spirit that spurns him,
