to East as we'll as North to South. The
storming OF that mountain was one Of the
most brilliant affairs of the war. and viii go
down to history as such. Banks is also at
work in Texas, and the Union men are
hccking to his standard by hundreds. His
work IS invaluable. He has a large army OF
blacks that will supersede the necessity OF
sending more white troops to southern
climes to make grave yards of. Thus the
good work goes on, and thus We stand at
the inception of 1864. Tennessee is saved,
Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky are placed
beyond all danger from rebel foes. We hold
much of the territory of Arkansas, Ala
bama and Texas TO great military advantage.
Mississippi is nearly al under our control
as also is Louisiana; Georgia and the Caro-
linas are invaded, and will be the scenes OF
future Union successes.
Our condition, in political point Of
view, is not less encouraging than is that
of our armies. The past year has been the
first under the Presidents freedom procla-
nation, and see what majorities have sus-
tanned him. We will call them fighting
rnaiorities, for they stay the arm of the SOL
der in the field fighting for his country as
well as that of the President in taking the
right course. In every State except New
Jersey large fighting majorities have been
giyen-Ohio 100, goo, New York $4,000,
Pennsylvania $1,000, Massachusetts 49,
900, Iowa $4,000, California 10000. and
so on through, showing that the masses are
still for the prosecution of the war.
What is the condition Of the South? It
is told almost in a word. It's currency is
so worthless that no man will take it; lis
harbors closely blockaded; its territory and
numbers daily growing smaller; its armies
defeated on almost every field. and the ''last
ditch near"
This being our condition and prosperity
in the past year, may we not safely prophe
sy victory in the future. If the so called
Southern Confederacy has been halved and
quartered during the past year, we can cal
culate on a division of it in the future into
still smaller fractional parts. This done.
and peace will again gladden. the nation with
its serene quiet, which is the only boon
that the nation with its colossal efforts is
trying to repossess. We predict that ere
another year rolls round the history of the
present war will furnish its last chapter, the
dark clouds will have broken away, and
''that under our banner will be seen all
races, all nations, creeds-one brotherhood,
and on the banks of the Potomac the GEN
Jus of Liberty robed in light, four and thir-
ty stars her diadem, broken chains under
her feet, and an olive branch in her hand"

THE WAR NEWS.

The news from various quarters is not
interesting; we have the kilograms dating
from the esd General Hurlburt's forces,
that are watching Forrest and Chalmoisin
in the South, have had several skirmishes
with portions of the rebel forces near Som
erville and Newcastle.
Late Wilmington papers announce the
arrival there of large number of blockade
runners. a refugee just arrived says
twenty three arrived the night before he
left.
The steamer Olympus. with Liverpool
dates of the 18th has arrived. The CORE
spondent of the London Times says the &C
cess to the rebel ports has now for the first
time been made dangerous and difficult.
A correspondent of the same journal,
with the rebel army in Tennessee, admits
he crisis approaching to test the South.
and pays high tribute to the magnifcepce
of the Northern faith and self-reliauce as
contrasted with the luke warmness of the
Southern masses.
The Tribune's army correspondent states
that our cavalry has returned to Bealtown
Station, having made a successful foray
against the rebels, driving the guerillas
into the mountains, and destroying an ex-
tensive saddle and harness factory and sew
eral tanueIies, and capturing number of
prisoners, a rebel mail, and quantity of
medicines and dry goods. The Herald's
dispatch says the reorganization Of The
army has commenced. General Tayler has
been assigned to the command Of the Irish
Legion.
Deserters from North Carolina troops are
availiug themselves of the Presidents pro
clamation.
1t is reported that the river boats. most
IL belonging to Philadelphia, while dredging
for oysters near Port Potank creek, York
river, were captured by the rebels. They
came out in boats, on pretence of helping
make the cargo. and boarded the boats,
seized the crew, and robbed them of all val
uables, sent them to Richmond. and burn
ed the vessels. The crew numbered about
six to each vessel. Port Potank creek is
/ about 80 miles above the mouth of the riv-
err.
The new oath of allegiance has been ad-
ministered to a number of rebel officers and
soldiers who have recently come into our
lines to accept the pardon offered By the
President. They bring intelligence that a
large number recently taken intend to Dc
l likewise at the earliest opportunity.
The communication of cd" will appear

An Important Finapcial Statement.

In his exhibit of the national expendi-
lures of the coming fiscal year, Mr. Chase
estimated deficit of eighty-two millions,
over aud above all that can be raised by
loans aud other resources. Mr. Sherman
declared in the Senate, on Sunday morn
ing, that the new Secretary of the Trea-
sury had stated that the Tax bill would
be sufficient to cover the whole amount
We understand that, in the opinion of in
telligent merchants, Mr.. Chase has under
estimated tie revenue from the Tax bill
by at least sixty millions
Commissioner Lewis of the internal
Revenue Department, has expressed the
opinion that the receipts from internal
revenue, for the next fiscal year, viii
reach three hundred millions. Both oi
these opinions are highly favorable to the
nation-more so than that of the late Sec
retary, which is thing quite unusual in
financial estimates.

THE RAID.

We publish elsewhere an extended ac-
count Of the rebel raid in Maryland. In
addition to the news there given, we have
accounts Of rebel progression, through
Eastern Maryland, during which robbery
and arson seemed to reign supreme
The Northern Central railroad was cut
at several points and number of bridges
destroyed. The Philadelphia and Balti-
more railroad met with like visitation.
On this road several passenger trains were
captured, passengers robbed and the trains
destroyed. On one of the trains Major
Gen. Franklin and staff, and quite num-
ker Of soldiers, who were unarmed, were
captured. Gov Bradford's residence,
with all its furniture, near Baltimore, was
burned, as was also Gen. Cadwalladcr's
residence, near Magnolia Station. All
the Telegraph wires leading from Wash
ington to the North were cut. There are
even rrtnors that Washington had been
taken, but there was 10 foundation for the
rumors. Latest news from the region Of
the raid represent both the Northern Gen.
fral and the Philadelphia and Baltimore
roads free of rebels, aud repair trains
busily at work The heaviest damage on
the Philadelphia and Baltimore road, was
the burning of the bridge over the Gun
powder river, but travel will pass uniu-
terruptedly in a few days.
There has been considerable skirmish-
ing around Washington; and it is even
asserted that large bodies of rebels were
led by rebel sympathisers to within a
mile OF the city. Indeed much of the de-
struction to property is said to have been
done by this class of miscreants. Dis
patches would seem to indicate that the
Union forces are gaining ground, and
that the rebels are again crossing into
Virginia. There are counter rumors that
Gen. 4. p. Hill has crossed the Potomac
with his corps and joined Early, and that
the two, united, will make an immediate
attack upon Washington. The rebels
were also reported to be operating be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, on the
railroad. Latest accounts place our
troops in occupation of Frederick.

The President has issued proclama-
tion upon the reconstruction question,
practically approving the bill passed by
Congress, which he did not sign, as it was
passed at the last hour. He accepts the
spirit of the bill, but makes exception in
the case of Louisiana and Arkansas which
States have been reconstructed according
to his own declaration in a previous proc
lamation making the will of one-tenth Of
the voters sufficient for the return of a
State to its allegiance, while the bill pro-
vides that majority is necessary.

the establishment of headquarters at the
Delaware House, near the Depot, for the
raising of Volunteers for the 100 days

successful, and that Monroe County, will
thus have shown disposition to do her
duty.

Proclamation of Gov. Curtin.
Executive Chamber, Harrisburg, Pa, ]
July 10, 1864.

To the Hon. ALEXANDER HENRY, Nay
Of Philadelphia, and the People of
Pennsylvania:
refer to my recent proclamations call
ing for troops, on requisition of the Pres
ident. You are not responding freely
The enemies of our Government are ac-
tive in deferriug you, and efforts have
been made to dissuade you from the be-
lief that any considerable Rebel force is
in your vicinity, and many of our most
loyal and patriotic citizens have thus been
deceived. Similar efforts were too success
fully made last year, at the moment when
Lees army was actually on your borders.
Dispatches have been received this morn
ing establishing the fact that Gen. Wal
lace with 10000 men, vas yesterday CON-
pelled to fail back from Frederick. He
is believed to be 10 retreat toward Balti-
more. The communication between this
point aBd Baltimore was cut this morning
by the Rebels below Cockeysvile.
The authorities Of the United States.
at Washington, are so impressed with the
necessity of immediate effort, that they
have this morning, by telegraph, author
lied men ODE mustered in by companies,
which they had yesterday perenptorily
refused. 1t is my duty to state to you
the fact that your country requires your
immediate service, and the safety of your
own soil, and of our good neigbbcrs in
Maryland, may depend on your prompt
ness. Recollect that the mode of enlist
ing men is at the discretion of the Gov
ernment, and it is the duty of all to obey
its acquisitions. 1t would be disgraceful
in you to waste time in objecting to mat
ters of form and detail, or to profess that
you would go, if called in some different
way. Those who want an excuse for
skulking may do SO. But all who desire
to do their duty to their country will
scorn such subterfuges. Turn, therefore,
deaf ear to all wischievous suggestions
from any quarter. Do not lend yourself
to betrayal of your country. Come for
ward like men to aid her. The Rebel for
ces will be easily defeated and driven a.
way, if you do your duty. And / pray
God so to enlighten you that the honor
of the Commonwealth may be maintained.
