This is just the paperabove all others for per- sons sojourning in the National Metropolis to send to their friends at a distance. Price only three cents per copy, or $! per annum; postage prepaid by stamps when so arranged, tote SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The fxteltigencer has an elaborate “Review of the President’s Emancipation Proclamation,” occupying five and a half columns of the paper. it recapitulates the disiinct propositions con- sained ke proclamation; notices the effect it has had upon the radicals and conservat thinks it is merely to “enact a political solecisin tor the «Executive Goverament’ to declare siaves legally free where it has and can have no legal jurisdiction over the law of slavery, because it is to carry into one department the style and language belonging exclusively to her sphere. of political ideas,” and argues that «unless we are prepared to affirm that slaves are rightfully held in the service of their rebel masters until the Ist of January next, and that they are held after that date wrong- fully simply by virtue ot the proclamation, we ranst deny to the paper ail legal force and effect whatever.” The Republican takes occasion tocouple, with one of its characteristic inuendoes against Gen- eral McClellan, the following paragraph : «We have authority for stating that there is not one word of truthin the many ramors of Cabinet and high military changes put in cir- culation by the Star of this city, and accepted as gospel truth by the credulous sensation press # New York.” In reply we bave to say thai, in publishing the rumor referred to above, we wok occasion to set it down only at its true valne—as a enr- rent Washington hotel story, the truthof which ve had been unable to verify. It was simply a result of the scare into which the mousing politicians of the Republican newspaper school have been plunged for some weeks past in an- ticipation of the impending radical defeat in tne approaching State~ and congressional eles- uc Knowing that fact we cautioned the public against giving it credit. +2 THE REBEL RAID ON CHAMBERSPURG. The yaid of a body of rebel cavalry yester- day on Chambersburg, Pa., coming via Han- cock, Md., made quite a stir here this forvnoon-. Nevertheless, it is by no means a wonderful hievement. Itis simply similar t our own valry reconnoissances in force, being made every day or two across the Potomac in the vi- cinity of Lee’s army. + In this case the ris, trusting to their supe- i yin cayglry, have vy ured a longer in- sich than usual. The point at which they d the river is beyond the verritery actu- eupied by our army of the Potomac, yet (aey striking distance of Chambersburg. eat must necessarily be by the same route and must be quickly made, unless Uh choose to risk annihilation, as troops haye, dew ss already been hurried up from MecClet- ise" line to cut them off from the river. The public will recollect that the noble army of Pennsylvania militia (about whom so much was recently published throughout the State) t beat hand at Harrisburg or in that vicin- &@s some time since they were withdrawn sa Chambersburg: so there need be no fear, it is to be hoped, of their much further advance into the interior of Peunsylvania. We may add that-our forces are so disposed as that we en- ; tettain strong hopes that this marauding party Will be cut off. Gen. Cox's division must by this time be very near Hancock, while Fitz Joba Porter, Couch, and Hooker's old force, were yesterday in positions favorable to aid in int rcepiing th The Iack of horses at this time in our army doubtless had much to do with encouraging the tebeis to essay this venture. Our: cavalry is * well nigh afoot forthe time being: while too much of what should be transportation is trans- portation but in name, as army wagons cannot be moved without horses. We learn, further, that there is great want of clothing for our men ofallerns there. If these daring rebel cavalry Are not caught, the public will perceive al! the responsibility for it should not be showered on the army in the field. It is notoriously true thai in the battle of Antictam so pressing was the need of more effective horses as that the train of the headquarters was stripped of them to supply different batteries in actual engage. ment, eTANT rrom Nassav, N.

AN INTERESTING EXPOSE OF THE POLIT ICAL RTAPUS-OF TEN AS. - The following is. written by 2 most intelli- gen well-informed citizen of Texas, and will be found of very great interest: MANAYUNK, NEAR PHULAD u s Ster: Tnoticea in this mo Ledge: ement that Col. Jack Hamilton New York committre waited on the Seerctary of War yesterday and ured him to “an’early occupation of Texas.” It is rensonable to sup- vading army toavenge the ontrages upon Union men in that beautiful State. But every true friend of the Unien, whe, with the cya @f Astatesman, looks to the future und the best interesis of the nation, :nust ques- tion the policy of this measure, As yet the prairies of our State have never been polluted with fraternal blood, and the President with a truly noble forbearance, has withheld his armed Iesions in secordance, I trust, with the Teqnest of Gen, Houston, to afford the people ot Texasample time to awake from the delu- sion of secession, and return to the glorious Vnion under which they enjoyed an unexam- pled cpreer of prosperity. If the gallant and Iamented General Lander were living, I would request you to refer to him to remind -thn President of the message h he wa’ directed by Gen. Houston to de- r to Mr. Lincoin. That there isa porya- ding Union sentiment in Texas, there is no loubt; and if President Lincoln will wait until Arkansas and Louisiana are effectually oceu- pied by Union troops, he may rest assured that ‘Texas will be restored to the Union without bloodshed. You may have noticed reports from Missouri, Union victorirs Raye been chieved at Shrieveport and Marshall. These victories, I suppose, refer to the organized op- porition of the citizéns of those places to the ript act, not toactnab battles. If the ar- as and Missouri are pushed to 8 of Texas, I am eonfident they need “the boundary of that te to Te. ore it to the Union, for the people, h infernal rebeilion, (which w iy het-hou illiard-room: tothe Union as th mics in Ar the borde S nan * politicians in groz. ) willrush as joyously b: y rushed to it in the days aunexation. Any rash warlike measures adopted here for ans life of Gen, Houston, and hundreds, perhaps thousands of his friends. He js still true Jas ‘l for the Union. 1 know this from his last words utiered tome as I was leaving Texas. I repeat the warning, let not a hostile army touch the soil of Texas until Arkansas and Loui are occupied effectively with Union and our beloyed State will then comeall unsoiled with American blood toremaina fixed znd brilliant star in the great Union galaxy. I would come to Washington, but L escaped ith only a small sum and am ing with the in a Little valley on the as secluded as ah when th he waited for the days of th mities of Israel to pass aw: ITeaq see (he beams of a brighter da: The resources of the rebels are fast disappearing, and if the war is pushed vigorously now all the States west of the Mississippi will soon be as firmly in the Union as Maryland. There will be more difficulty with the Atlantic States, for their citizens have been too long trained in the st huylkill, ahno: by the brook Ch THE NEW MERRIMAC. From the statements of refugees lately from Richmond, we learn that the Merrimac No. 2, or Richmond, as she is named by the Rebels. is nearly ready for service, having recrived her iron armor, which is five inches thick.— She is pierced for 6 guns—2 columbiads on each side, and a pivot gun foreand aft. At the Tredegar work, 2 ten-inch rifled gun, fifteen feet long. is being finished, for which, ut the suine works, steel-pointed shot are being made. v Rebels state that they now have ten gunboxts on the James River similar to the Teazer, exch of which carries rifled guns, and that they have but little fear for the safety of the city from a nayal attack.
