The News,

Since our last publication the news from
the vicinity of Washington and Baltimore has
been exciting. if not alarming. We have not,
however, apprehended any serious danger to
Washington. but have felt rather solicitous
regarding the safety of Baltimore-not
that WE believed it possible for the rebels
to remain many days in Maryland, but We
feared they might sack and burn the city be-
fore sufficient number of troops could be con-
centratcd to drive them back over the Poto.
mac. The dispatch received Saturday even
ing last, representing the rebels as being in
the vicinity of Washington, destroying the
railroads between that city and Baltimore and
plundcring the passengers in the cars, we ac-
knowledge made us feel rather "shaky," in
spite of our strong faith in Grants gencralship
and his ability to ultimately crush out the re-
belion. We therefore, in common with ev-
crybody else, awaited the next dispatch with
much anxiety. The news received by Tues
day evenings mail was very meagre, but ia
vorable as far as it went, and relieved some
portion of the anxiety. Thursdays mail did
not bring much in addition to what was re-
ccived Tuesday evening, except that it tended
to confirm the belief that no serious attempt
would be made by the rebels to capture either
Baltimore or Washington, and that if they
should they were certain to DO repulsed. Our
troops had sailed out from the entertainments
on the north of Washington, and drove the
rebels back eight or ten miles. 1t was ,u-
mored that tho main body Of the rebels were
rccrossing the Potomac.
The confusion and excitement created by
the raid into Maryland, has caused Grant and
Sherman to be almost overlooked, no allusion
being made to Grants operations in the last
two or three dispatches. 1t is mentioned Incl
dentally that Sherman is advancing on At
lanta having crossed the Chattahoochc river.
Gold has fallen from $50 to 2.67, which
indicates that there was no serious apprehen-
sion of the rebels taking the Capital, or that
they would remain long in Maryland. We
look for important news by this evenings
mall and we are confident that it will be ia
vorable to the Union cause.

in response to toast on the 4th of July,
under the caption Of "Pacifc Democracy"
1t is a well. written article. The peculiar
style, and the " literary polish" bctray its pa.
ternity. We are pleased, for the sake of the
readers Of that paper, that it has secured the
services of so sprighly writer. 1t is to be
hoped that he will explain the philosophy
upon which the machinery Of the steamer
Alexandra works. The curiosity Of the peo-
pie has been much excited by description
given of it last week by the editor who attends
to the legal and scientific department of that
paper. Some arc at loss to know how three
distinct wheels can be propelled by two dis.
tinct engines, and are still more puzzled as to
the use of the dry boiler.

u Our cotemperary, in describing the
steamer Alexandra, says she is "driven by
three distinct stern Wheels" driven by "tro
locomotive engines" We do not dispute
this. but conclude that the third yheel gene
rates the steam to supply the other two. We
doubt, however, the use of that fifth boiler,
which our contemporary says 10 for dry steam.
At least. if dry steam can be boiled. we be-
lieve it is fact not generally known to scien-
ti6c men.
