The public career of John p. Hale is
about drawing to a close. His successor
has been elected. His Senatorial term has
been one OF unusual length, covering the
most important era, doubtless, in our ma.
tional history, including the rise and pro-
gress Of the protesting Anti-Slavery party.

tending military struggle, which can hard

OF observation, experience and action su ch

About the Raid.

WASHINGTON, March I9.-The Worlds
special says Clement C. Burley, of Phila-
delphia, arrived, bringing rumors that the
rebels intend another invasion Of Maryland.
Some facts in partial cOrroboration OF this
report are known here. It is believed The
enemy is burning to avenge the foray Of
Fitzpatrick, and while Grant is preparing
for the capture of Richmond, Lee will
abandon his communications with the rebel
capitol and dash on Washington, or in the
rear of the Army of the Potomac.
Gen. Meredith has left for St. Louis.
Secretary Chase does not intend appoint
ing agents under the gold bill. The mat
ter will probably be left TO the Assistant
Treasurer at New York.
The House Naval Committee have sub
mitted to Judge spaulding, of Ohio, and
Gen. Morehead, Of Pennsylvania, the ques-
ton Of selecting a site for 8 navy yard on
some point on the Ohio river.
Greeley writes from headquarters that
Stuart has not crossed at Fredicksburg with
five thousand men, and by reason Of reports
that Stuart was concentrating large body
Of cavalry for monster raid, our cavalry
corps has been placed under orders 70 move
at & moments notice. A rumor at Wash
ington Junction says that Stuart biyouacked
last night. four miles south Of that place,
but the mail train brought no confirmation.
The enemy has strengthened his piekots
along the Rapidan, and made more forlni-
dable his works opposite several forts.
General Gustav was severely injured b.
