Wy MARYLAND.v

Maryland is probably some Millionsof Dollars
poorer this day for the late Rebel raid most OF
which she would have saved BY scasonably Or
gaming and drilling her Militia. She ought to
have been able to put rity thousand Militia
into the field for the defense Of her own build
ings, crops and cattle, within forty-eight hours
after hearing that an enemy was on her border.
Five thousand Militia Cavalry, mounted, on
their own horses, armed only with reyolvers for
close fighting and earbines for Use when dis
mounted, might have saved at least half they
have lost. Such cavalry could not be expected
TO use swords effectively, nor yet TO resist artil-
lery; but, lowering on the TANKS and front of
the enemy, driving in or capturing bis vedettes,
making dashes at his wagons and picking up his
stragglers, it could do him great injury with lit
tie loss or risk.
Now that the raid is over, the pro-Rebel or
CANS in the loyal States will endeavOr to mag
Nifty its fruits to the utmost Thus The Daily
Ners says Of the raiders on their retreat;
They are strong enough to repel anv assault That
may be made. They obtained SeraaI thousand Teofps
and vast amount Of suppes."
Maryland gave Breckenridge 42,4e2 votes in
go, while Howard, the Democratic +" Peace"
candidate for Governor, had but 26,0s6 in 81 +;
and the party has done no better ever since,
owing to its heavy depletion TO swell the ranks
Of the Rebel armies. If several thousand"
more of them have just gone, their prospect for
CARRYING the State for President this Fall must
range considerably below zero.

Volunteered sUn.TyTUTEs.

The Provost MarShals are completing the
revision of the National Enrolment i'll our City.
and they especially desire that every person en-
rolled by them who is not liable to duty,
whether from alensge, unsuitable years, or
physical infirmty, shall come forward at once
and prove up, so a. to reduce the enrolinonI 10
It's proper dimensions, and deprive the disioyai
of all pretext for exciting discomfort by clamor-
ing that the City is drawn upon for more men
than It's fair quota. Ii the enrolled neglecl ths'
the Provost Marshals have no discreuoh-tncy
must presume all the enrolled liable who do not
prove themselves otherwise; and thus inc ura,'
will fall more heavily on the City than II shouiu'
At the same time that they desire and iaOof
thus TO reduce the number enrolled, they ny Nv
means wish to deprive the legally exempt Oh
the honor of contributing toward the recruiting
of the National armies, On the contrary tney
invite every exempt to volunteer Tor inc service,
either personally or by substitute, ana Will
afford All lawful and needed facilities TO those
who NAV decide to do so. We know that such
is the fact at Capt Manierre's office, CORNER
of Thirty.Gflh street and Broadway,) and pre-
sumo it is at all others. Capt. Nj. will be found
on hand at 8 A. Il. and thence throughout each
secular day, ready and eager to Cooperate with
any citizen who desires TO be represented IL the
ranks Of the National armies; and the time is
AT hand when, next to those who have person
ally volunteered to fight for their country, those
who have employed and enabled Others to
do so, paying a bounty which secures their
loved ones from want will stand high on
the roll of honor. Quite o number OF cih-
Gems have thus provided each his substitute with
in the last month, and hundreds more would
gladly DO so if tie matter were brought home
to their attention. Every one thus enlisted
counts toward the next quota of our City, aud
tends to obviate the necessity of DRAFT. We
are assured that there arc men enough to be
had; while the cost Of substitutes is doubtless
considerably less than il will be after q draft
shall have actually been ordered.
Those who write to inquire whether the
payment of $500 Communication exempts for.
three full years from all drafts areiniormed that
such payment, if made at any time prior to
February last, docs so exempt. In February
tho law was changed so that tie payment Of
$500 thenccforth exempted only for theinqfading
draft; while since the passage of the act OF tbs
month there is no Communication whatever All
who are hencoforth drafted, and are found liable,
must serve in person or by substitute.

This is the system, with various mOdtca-

Gen. Banks WAS put in command Of the Depart

all respects in which system ought to succeed,
has long been known-has been known not
only to the people, but TO tho Government,
which, for less fatal but more conspicuous
military disaster, relieved Gen. Banks OF hi.
military duties. Mr. McKaye suggests inn

As the end of the rainy season approaches tne
French are preparing for new expeditions. one
is planned for the capture of Matamoros, thc
importance of which place has not escaped the
attention of the Imperial Government. Inc

Juarez succeeds in keeping together respec'a'
HE army. and so long as the majority oi INC
people remain opposed to the ostabiishmon' oi
the MONARCHY, the prospects Of Macmillan Will
remain gloomy
The first attempts of the new Emperor to re-
organize tho administration OF the Empire are
meeting with immense difficulties. Mr.. Mas
seras. tho Editor of the Courier des Flats On's'
who writes for his journal from the City oil
Mexico, admits that " the Empire already
counts critics even among its partisans." Max
imilan has not yet succeeded in forming de-
finite Ministry; the attempt TO prevail upon
Mr.. Fernando Ramirez, moderate Liberalist,
10 undertake the formation Of Cablent, is said
to have ialod.
On the whole, the present situation OF affairs
in Mexico is cmincntly one Of uncertainty and
transition. If Ma1imilan soon succeeds IN
introducing important reforms, and in rewving'
10 some extent, the commerce and material
prosperity OF the country, it is probable that
large numbers Of the population, which at first,
from patriotic motives, opposed the foreign in
vason, will. from considerations of material
advantages, submit TO the Empire as an accom-
plished fact. We do not doubt that Juares,
more than any Of his predecessors, would have
been instrumental in tho political and
social regeneration Of the country, had not
France, by ono Of the most giarlng
violations OF international law, in modern times,
forcibly iuteriered with his rcforma,ory policy.
But however base the origin Of the Empire may
be, If it can inluse into the people feeling OF
satisfaction " th It's condition, and belief 10 d

the inglorious past in the light Of glorious

to accomplish this difficult task, tho history OF
