VIM! VIM! WAKE UP!

The late Rebel raid has been an ex-
ceedingly great nuisance to us of the edito-
rial squad, in cutting us off from COM
munication with the scene of war and of
news. We have made up our minds to
one thing. and that is that raids don't
pay along our borders, whatever they may
do elsewhere. We think the experience
which the people of Maryland have ac-
quircd during the last three years is that
we of the western end of the State es-
pccially need lise men at the head of af-
fairs, civil and military, in this State. -
One would suppose that the lessons here
tofore received have been sharp enough
to open the understanding of tolerably
dull comprchonsions. But up to the pre-
sent time matters continue to be conducted
with as much listlessness and want of rim
as though our officials we're corpses OF
Egyptian mummy antiquity.
We have understood that the last Leg
islature, at the solicitation of the Governor
passed Militia Bill, of his getting up,
which, on examination, we are led to be-
lieve gives him pe1y ample powers even
for war times. We have also heard that
our Mayor, backed by General Kelley.
have more than once urged the enforce
ment of this law, at least in Allegany
county, on his Exee,lency's attention. so
far without success. We have heard thai
vast amounts of property Of all kinds
have been stolen from our citizens, and
vast quantities destroyed; and among
other things We have heard that his Ex-
cellency's private residence was committed
to the flames by order Of rebel son of
Maryland.
We believe that half the enrolled mi
litia of the Fourth and Third Congress
sional Districts of the State. if they had
been organized under the law of the last
aid been placed along the
borders of the State, would have prevent
ed the penetration of the Rebel horde into
our State, and saved its citizens millions
Of property besides an incalculable amount
Of panic and disgrace among our sister
States.

Thia little affair was sufficient to bring
the rebels to determination. This was to
retreat. 1t was expected tina. they would
do so during the night. and the reconnois-
sance Of this morning showed that they
had Withdrawn. It is expected that they

Review of the Late Rebel Raid.
Special to the n. Y. Times,

WASHINGTON, Wednesday July 10, GA.
The siege of Washington not quite as
long in duration as the siege of Troy and
hardly as glorious as Derry or Saragossa
has been at length raised, and there is
now restoration of communication with
you OF the outside world, whose fears aud
anxieties regarding the fate of the cap
ital we have been able to imagine. This
morning it was found that the enemy had
withdrawn from in front of the defences
of Washington. and though they still
show pickets at Bladensburg and on the
railroad there is a coed reason to believe
that their main force is marching towards
the Potomac, to make good their retreat
with all the foot that week of unintcr-
rupted plumber has afforded them.
II.
1t is too early for us yet to make up
our minds whether we ought to laugh
over the aenoaement of an affair more far
cial than tragical. or whether we should
feel devout thankfulness for a great de-
livcrance. There is enough that is droll
to justify the former, were it not checked
by the reflection of how much more there
is Notifying and humiliatirg in the cir
cumstauces Of this rebel raid. A great
army is planted before the line Of Peters
burg, where the vital interest of the war
centre; but the rebels, by a movement of
matchless boldness are able for time to
transfer the seat Of war to the north of
the Potomac, are permitted to roam
through and ravage loyal State, and
are able finally TO throw the capital of the
nation into siege. and inspire others
than the faint hearted with fears and fore
bodings for its safety.
Now that it is over. one can speak with
more freedom than was erewhile allowa-
bic, and hence it is not improper to con-
TESS that Washington has for two or three
days past been more really Invested"
than Richmond ever has been. 1t is true
the Potomac river. great natural line
of communications, has been open to us
but our direct and customary communi-
cations, with the North and West have
been, and now remain, severed and this
not merely by the damage done by the
mounted raiders. but by the fact that the
enemy placed himself on our commune
cations, which, l believe. is more than
Gen. Grant has yet done with respect of
the communications of Richmond. Never
vet. in all their inyasions, have the rebels
attempted anything so bold, and although
there eau be no doubt that Washington

rebels been able to make the capital seen,
to be in somuch danger and for the first
time they have won the eclat--whatevcr
this may be worth-of an actual invest
ment Of the defences of Washington.
Cheap glory, but they will, no doubt,
make the most Of It.
Three opportunities the rebels HAYS
had of capturing Washington the first
was Immediately after Bull Run, the
second was after the defeat of Pope, and
the third is the PRESENT occasion. But
the latter they lost, before even tt!.ey

waiting for plunder, there is no telling

hind them.
