TO OUR. PATRONS.

We ask the special attention Of the subscri-
bers to the PHOENIX, and Of those who use its
columns for advertising, to the terms of the
paper ard for advertising, found on the first
rise in the price of everything bought and sold
We have been obliged to follow the example Of
other papers in this State and elsewhere, and
increase our rates for advertising and for the
PHOENIX, though by no means in proportion to
the rise in those articles which we are obliged
to purchase. We shall be obliged to adhere
closely 10 these rates for the present, and would
remind those who are in arrears for their paper
make immediate payment.

Everybody has been excited and some have
been alarmed about the grand raid of the reb
els into Maryland. The information that comes
to us of their numbers, whei eaboLts and do
ngs, is vague and unsatisfactory. We gather,
however, from various sources that a very con-
siderable force has crossed the Potomac, and
for some days they have been having things
pretty much their own way, and doing very
nearly what they pleased. At any rate there
has been some pretty hard fighting, in which
Our troops have been worsted and obliged to
fall back. The rebels have approached very
near to Baltimore, have captured railroad trains,
destroyed bridges torn up railroad tracks,
burnt houses, stole horses and everything else
valuable they could lay their hands upon, cut
off communication from Washington to the
North, and taken Mijor Cen Franklin and
others, we know not how many, prisoners, and
frightened the people prodigiousy. At last ac-
counts they were Withdrawing from Baltimore
towards Washington, and were fighting at no
great distance from that city. They will prob
ably load themselves with plumber and then
suddenly disappear, as they came, and rtjoin
Lee. Or, if they think themselves strong
enough, they may make dash upon the Capt.
tai, with intent to burn the public buildings,
secure valuable booty, and perhaps to capture
the President and carry him off az a trophy to
the rebel camp. What they intend to do, or
what they will owe shall not risk prophecy,
but will give the facts when we get them.
We should think by this time that Pennsy.
vana and Maryland, and especially the large
cities of those States, would see the necessity
of well organized, well drilled, and well
equipped militia, that could be summoned at an
hours notice, TO protect those States, and their
cities and towns from invasion, or at once to
meet and drive back any hostile force tina,
should attempt to invade their territory. And
we cannot quite understand why the War De
partment at Washington should not have made
some better provision against raid of thi
kind. But we suppose they understand the
business, and perhaps this raid is just what the,
expected and desired. If so, we hope they vii
profit by it, And when we add TO the depre
dations of this raid the smashing business
which the rebel steamer Florida is doing along
our coast, having destroyed ten or dozen yes
sells within a few days, we may well suppose
that the hearts of the rebels and their friend
are made glad at these tidings We trust
however, their joy will soon he turned Into sor
row.

EXCURSION.

A party Of gentlemen from this State, Mass
achusetts and New Hampshire, representing
the interests Of the Vermont Valley, the YER
mont and Massachusetts, and the Ashuelot
Railroads, met at CIRCUITS Corner last week on
Wednesday for an excursion 10 New London,
where they had been invited by officers of the
New London Northern Railroad, and the Nor
wich and New York Transportation Co., which
run boats to and FROM New York. From CIRCUITS
Corner they passed in carriages to Amherst,
over the route where the projected railroad is
to be built, fndirg it quite level and easy to
grade The distance from Grout's Corner to
Amherst is fifteen miles, the route has been
surveyed, the road mostly located, aud the en-
gineer is now engaged in arranging land dam.
ages, which will be slight. In about month
they will he ready to make contracts for build
ing the road. When il is completed the New
London Company will have a continuous road
from that city to CIRCUITS Corner Of 100 miles
at the lalteraplace il will connect with the Ver-
mont and Massachusetts Railroad. From New
London steamboats, run regularly to and from
New York, landing their passengers near the
depot at Jersey City, making ii very convenient
for those, especially, who desire to go to Phil
adephia, or 10 places south of it.
When those fifteen miles of road are finished
We shall have another, and an independent
route TO New York, the Vermont and Massa-
obusetts road making 20 miles on the line. On
the route there are several large manufacturing
towns and villages, which will furnish good
deal of business for the road. and will be great

The coolest inhabitant' does not remember
so severe a tempest as occurred here las, Mon
day evening. For several days it had been in
tensely hot, the ground exceedingly dry, and
the roads uncomfor,ably dusty and everybody
was wishing for rain. About 8 o'clock in the
afternoon the clouds began to gather and thick
en- in the northwest betokening a shower. AZ
ter time the lightning began 10 flash and the
thunder to roar, and Tor some minutes these
were incessant, when all of sudden the wind
began to blow furiously, and the rain TO fall in
torrents. In few minutes more the hail COM
menced falling in abundance land ran along
upon the ground" The wind, rain and hail
continued for some time, and the ground WIS
deluged with water. Great was the deyasta-
ton produced during this short period. Limbs
were torn from trees, trees were broken and
laid PROSTATE, the products of fields and gar
dens were rddled by the hail and Frustrated by
tie storm, buildings were overturned, and i'm
mense damage done 10 crops, buildings and
trees The storm came from the northwest and
passed over in a southeasterly direction, extend
ing great distance, but was most severe in
this neighborhood. In this village much dam
age was done; the steeple of the Centre Church
(Rev. Mr.. Tyer's) was blown down,-foru.
nately in falling little or no damage was done,
and the timbers were found to be- very rotten.
A large oak tree on Judge Kellogg's land was
broken off near the ground, and fell across
High street blocking up the way. That SPLEEN
did elm in the road near the farm house be-
longing to the Asylum, was torn up by the roo $
and laid PROSTATE on the mdadow and in Main
street and other parts of the village trees and
limbs of trees were broken and thrown upon
the ground. Mr.. Clapp had fine pear tree
full of fruit broken and destroyed his summer
house blown down the bank, nice grapevine
broken off. and other damage done in his gar
den. Almost every garden in the village wa.
much damaged, and some well nigh ruined fol
this year. The woodshed and car-house at tn,
depot were blown over, and several sheds he
longing to the Asylum. At the Soldiers Bar
racks tents were blown away, and one maj
holding on to his tent was taken up and carried
quite distance. The crops on the farms O
David Goodal! end Mr. Eddy near Broad Broc K

the other side of the river. in Hinsdale, the de
struelion to crops is quite as great as on thi
side. Mr.. King had small house unroofed
forty foot barn demolished, and his crops most
ly ruined Mr.. Liscom had barn DESTROYED

and other damage done on his premises. Geo

of popular education, for a seasonable length
of time, and we find in them these facts forci-
bly, illustrated. Children can learn to read bet
ter than adults, every one knows. So they can
learn to sing with less difficulty.
If they can learn to sing, and can do so as
universally as they can learn to read, ought this
talent to remain so generally uncultivated p
But some may say, singing is one of the orno-
mental branches and can be just as well dis.
pensed with as not. | admit that ii is often
considered and pursued with the feeling that it
has no higher claims than that. So we might
say that everything that tends TO cultivate our
moral and social feelings, may be dispensed
with, with equally as much truth. Music APP
peols more directly to our feelings. 1t may be
termed, in fact, the language of emotion, and
when welded TO the right kind Of words, it be-
comes most potent and salutury agent in pro-
noting the moral and social feelings of our ma
ture, without which man is but mere animal
