As they are now going on, the danger is that the opposition party will dwindle down to a copperhead fao- tion, and thus the opportunity that is and has been offered to rescue the country from the rule of fanaticism and blundering mismanage- ment will be thrown away, and the reign of the smutty joker continued for four years more. The politicians who are now attempting to run the democratic party are a class of small brained politicians, the hangers-on of the men who once managed the party successfully. Hav- ing worked themselves into an imaginary import- ance and position that they do not compre- hend, they think that they are really the party. They fail to realize that, in revolutionary times like the present, when gold and all the neces- sary commodities of the household are rapidly going up, the whole people are politicians; that they read, think and decide for themselves, and trust to no politicians in resolving upon their political action. Still further, the pro- fessional politician allows his passions to con- trol him, while the masses calmly weigh all events and decide accordingly. The fact of the matter is, the people will settle this con- test in November without any regard to the ‘The Rebel Ad ce imto Maryland— Their Early Retreat er Capture Cer- tain, The city was considerably agitated yester- day by the publication of telegrams respecting the movements of the rebels in the State of Maryland. and entanglements of bis official position are such .28 might well terrify him upon the threslo 'd of his career, Yet he can, by throw- ing aside ' all schemes of political ambition and devoting himself resolutely to the herculean labor of fa \ancial reform, rescue the national credit from its present deplorable condition, lessen the bu rthens of the people, and restore, in a great me asure, prosperity and confidence to our stricken land.

The information was‘*somewhat obscure, but sufficient was ascertdined to establish the fact that the rebels had invaded Maryland with a force of some twenty-five thousand men, under Early, Breckinridge and the notorious raider Mosby; had defeated Gen. Lew. Wallace, with a force of ten thousand Union troops, in a brisk engagement on the Mononacy, near Frederick, and had committed Beyond the Lines. some damage to the Northern Central Railroad and to the Baltimore and Ohio road in the vicinity of Frederick and the Monocacy. We do not observe that there is any intelli- gence indicating an advance either on Balti- more or Washington, although the alarm in both cities seems to have agitated the nerves of the civic officials in a very considerable degree, Some rebel scouts had been captured in Wash- ington, and a report was spread that the enemy Paroled Prisoners.

Naw Onxeane, July 2, 1864, IMPRESSMENT OF HORSES, On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning a general ‘mpressment of horses was made for government use, They were taken from market wagons, milk wagone, street cars, private stables, cabs, hacks, carriages, eques- triaus and livery stables. Some of fabulous value were seized and some of very little worth to anybody. A Gruetey on Dirre Livey.—One would think, after the recent wringing of dirty linen at the hands of Thurlow Weed, that his claim to be regarded as the best patent clothes. ‘vanced close upon Baltimore yesterday, after the defeat of General WaHace at Monocacy. Their scouts reazhed ‘within fifteen miles of that city before noon, and at seven ovclock ast evening thoir advance cavalry were re- Ported to be within seven miles of the city, on the ‘York road. All the valuables and records of the banks nd other institutions had been placed on board a @teamer in the harbor for safety, The Northern Central Railroad bas been cut near Cockeysville by a rebel cay- alry force, estimated at fifteen hundred strong. The Bridges at Hanover Junction and Gunpowder Creek were both burned by them. This con- sisted of @ body of rebel troops who had Hot followed the retreat of General Wallace, Gover- Hor Curtin, in bis proclamation to the people of Pennsy!- ‘vania yesterday, says that communication between Har- Fisburg and Baltimore was cut by the rebeig_ below Cock- ®ysville. The authorities of the Umited States at Wash- ogton, he says, are so impressed with the necessity of immediate effurt that they bave authorized men to be ‘mustered in by companies, which they had the day be- fore peremptorily refused. It was reported in Baltimore last night tbat « portion of General Hunter’s force, under General Sullivan, had Fecaptured Martinsburg and taken about one thousand Prisoners; also all the stores captured there and much plunder collected by the rebels at that point. Heavy firing was heard in Chambersburg on Saturday ight, in the direction of Harper's Ferry, indicating that © brisk ongagement was going on between the Union forces and a portion of the rebel raiders. The impression Prevails that we have whipped them, because there were 0 other Union forces in the direction of Harper's Ferry, and the sound of cannonading was northwestward, grow- Ang in volume and loudness towards Falling Waters andWil- Riamsport. An order bas been promulgated by General (ouch, declaring martial law in ali the towns in the qwicinity. Rumors were afloat that a portion of the rebels had made a diversion in the direction of Washington: bute ‘with the exception of some scouts (number not ascer ‘Cained) found tn the vicinity of Rockville yesterday, four. 4con miles from the capital, there does not appear to be ‘any force of the enemy within the District. The panic ‘at Washington has considerably abated, although the Provision of means to protect the city is not neglected. We have some explanation of the movements of the Tebeis, from which it appears that they number 25,000 mon, aod are under the command of Generals Early and Breckioridge. Breckimridge crossed above Harper's Ferry, aod operated west of South Mountain, with a view of drawing our forces in that direction, to enable Early with the main body to cross at Edward's ferry, @0 as to flank and capture our command advancing upon Breckinridge. Failing in this, the whole rebel foree ‘united this side of Frederick, and commenced operations owards the lines of communication to and from Balti- ‘more, and thus advanced inte Maryland. ‘The rebels at Petersburg made an attack upontour lines On Saturday, with the evident intention of ascertaining ‘whether they had been weakened; but the enemy were driven back by a jerous fire from the troops under Generals Martindale and Stannard, upon whose front the @ttack was made. ‘Tre privateer Florida, with a number of prisoners os board, which she had taken from vessels recently captured and burned, was spoken off Cape Heory by Wrench bark on the 7th instant, The Captain of the Plorida requested the master of the bark to take twenty- five of the prisoners on board, but be refused. At this time « burning vessel was in sight. The same day the Florida was seen by the brig Serah, from Palermo.

Under this new condition of things %: beca me at once a duty of the first importance to + he government, and to the authorities of Marylaa d and Pennsylvania, to guard securely against ti ? danger of a rebel invasion. But this duty hoe been 80 far neglected that, with the approac’s of a rebel. force of fifteen or twenty thousand. men, the little squads of Unien troops scattered: here and there along the Potomac, with the people and authorities of the border States, are thrown into the helpless confusion of a general panic. With anything like proper preeautions against this danger this invading rebel celumn, instead of penetrating into the heart of Mary- land, would have been captured or dispersed: on the banks of the Potomac river. But how-is it that this powerful invading column from Richmond has succeeded in sip- ping down. the Shenandoah valley and across the Potomee and into the heart of Maryland: before any positive knowledge on our side of its actual strength could be obtained? A few words will explain this mystery. First, Gene- ral Hunter, repulsed from Lynchburg, and: finding himself in danger of being enveloped by the superior forces detailed from Richmond to cut him off, discovered that his only safe line of retreat. was across the mountains to ther Kanawha river,and down that stream to the- Ohio. He took this course, and thus the Shenandoab valley from Staunton down to the- Potomac, aad all the short lines of communi. cation between that valley and Richmond,, were left: entirely open.

We earnestly advige all who bave much wasbing to do, with all inteili- gent who bave any, to buy this wringer. It will pay for itseif in a year at most. The other clotheswringer, T. W., has paid off a good many of his old scores in considerably less than a year; but T. W. is neither “simple” nor “cheap,” like Greeley’s favorite machine; «on the contrary he has cost his friends very a ‘early, and made some of them pay through i 1e nose lately; and he is about as “simple” as ti e grayest old fox of the whole lupine tribe, as ae one knows better than poor Greeley. We ace not surprised, however, that Greeley and his; friends prefer any clotheswringer to T. W., who works the machine so hard that he will bavdi 'y leave a rag after the operation. Om ¢ Inon-cuap Navy—Soma New Faors.— The public are rapidly becoming acquainted with t] 1¢ failures and blunders of the Navy De- partme nt in reference to our fron-clads. The work o1 1 the wonderful light draught class has been su spended, and we have twenty of these worse than miserable sinking rafts on our hands, half completed. That we could have been pro: vided long ago with good iron-armored. vessels can be seen by reference to an article Hin anether column. The style of vessel referred ‘to was to Liave been built, and if she did not do ‘all that was promised thegoverament wasnot ‘te pay any thing for her. How different the case of the Monitors, They failed in each par- ticular, and. the Navy Department appropriated other roads converging to that point, are still free from rebel intrusion, and that the commu- nications between Baltimore and Washington are unobstructed. The intelligence from General Hunter’s forces and from General Sigel is-of the most cheering character. General Sullivan’s com- mand, a part of Hunter’s force, had recaptured Martinsburg, recovered the lost stores and made a thousand prisoners. The report from Sigel isthat he was driving the enemy before him from Maryland Heights up the Potomac, towards Williamsport. This is a long stretch of territory, and the report may bean equal elongation of the real truth; but Sigel appears to be at work, and we may at last have the satisfaction of giving publicity to some bril- liant military achievement of the Teutonic chief, On the whole; summing up as well as we can the confused and contradictory reports re- ceived, and comparing them with the opera: tions of the Union forces—imformation eoncern- ing which is ef course contraband and net to be now published—we feel confident in stating that the public excitement can, with reason, be alleyed, and that if the rebel intruders be not successful in beating an early retreat they will be surrounded by the Union troops and fall victims-to their hostile advance upon Union soil, which is equally an evidence of. their in- trepidity and folly. estimated that there in the ale hence all but one thousand will be seized.

They are no socrer out of one trouble than theyyare into another. It is but a few days.ago that they had to submit to the demand of the-musicians. fee higher pay. The managers demurred at fret to give the extra amount of bank notes-required by the inexora- ble orchestra; but the: fiddlers kept their netes to themselves, and theenemg had te retire from his position in good. order. Now, it appears, there is to be a grand.conference of actcrs to make a similar demand, both on their owa be- half and that of the female stars of smallmag- nitude—the latter being willing either to secept higher pay or to be provided with wardrobes by the property man. We suppose there is nothing left for the managers but to suocumb, or to drop the green ourtain until greanbacks rise in value. A Lxsson ron Mr. Wriies.—The, sleepy Secretary of the Naxy must be conviaced by the result of the fight off Cherbourg that our veesels-of-war can really do something useful and even glorious when they are preperly apy plied. If the. wooden ship Kearsarge could sink the splendid British vessel Alabama after an bour’s fight, surely some of our iren-clads off the coast could demolish » blockade runner at least once in three months. With such a force as Mr. Welles has at his command there js.no reason why British vessels should be permitted to carry supplies into Wilmington and Matamo- ros for the rebels, and convey rebel cotton to England on account of the confederacy. Give a few of these impudent bleckade runners a dose of Kearsarge, Mr. Welles, and their tuaffic of He left that State some fitteen or sixteen years since, and has ecquired @ military reputation in his adopted country, which:be is ansious to defend from its French invaders, RO YELLOW YRVER, & physician, who bas bad twenty-five years’ experience im this city, expresses his belief that there will be no yellow fever this season, as one epidemic does not foliow another, Jn his owm practise he has bad four hundred. aa and varioloid, which be regards as ax of Hunter or Sigel, to each of whom, and their: late failures to do the wosk assigned them, may be traced the immediate causes of this. daring rebel diversion from Richmond. These men are-among the pet generals of President. Lincoln—Sigel especially, who, in failing to make any seasonable recennoissance, or any, stand.to feel the strength of the enemy’s ap- proaches, permitted them to enter Mary- land,.and to sweep beyond the Monocacy all. obstructions before them, from the ignorance which still prevails on our. side of their formi- dable numbers. Our accounts from. the Army of the Pote mac. represent that the results of this move ment in Maryland are.very anxiously expected by the rebel army etill on Grant’sfront. Since thas army has been in Petersburg and near is it has bad no fresh meat, and even “salt horse” hes been scarce. Three-quarters of a.pound of salt meat every. two days has been the whole meat ration. of the rebels for nearly thirty days, and. they naturally look with | bungry hope for Ewell’s speedy return, laden, as they expect him to be, with the portable fieshpots of the North, and driving before him herds of the fat cattle from Western Maryland and Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, there is but little prospect that their hope will prove illusive. We could not reasonably count upon any one but Hunter, with his own column and that recently under Sigel, to intercept the raiders, and he is not likely to do it, He appears to have been considerably crippled by his hard marches in Western Vir- ginis, and is already behind the time at which he was expected in the valley. It is to be regretted that new life and history. It says Mr..Chase did notvesign on account of despondency at our financial pros- pects, nor on account of difference with the President respecting appointments. In the first place, it would be strange indeed if Mr. Chase had not some feelings of despondency in regard to our national finances, in view.of his many lamentable financial blunders;. and, in the second place, the Zribune gives the lie to its own assertion concerning appointments by acknowledging that the President refused even to have an interview. with Mr. Chase touching his (Mr. C.’s) recommendation of Mr. Maunsel B. Field as the succeeding financial minister. The truth is Mr. Chase never believed that Lincoln had the nerve to accept his resigna- tion; and, according to roliable advices from Washington, the nomination of a new Secretary of the Treasury took nobody more by surprise in the Senate than the friends of Mr. Chase bimself. Lincoln outmanceuvered and outwitted Chase. By a stroke of State policy more courageous and re- solute than he has exhibited sinee he assumed the Presideacy, Lincoln accepted the resigna~ tion of Chase, and his successor, a very worthy man, now holds the keys of the national Treasury. Mr. Chase’s administration of the financial concerns of the nation has been a chapter of blunders, with but few rare exceptions, from the beginning to the end—for even his resigna- tion was a blunder, by his mistaking the moral courage of the Executive. Upon the organiza- tion of Lincoln’s Cabinet Mr. Chase found that his predecessor, Mr. Cobb, had left the national Treasury and oredit in a very bad condition. Knowing he could gain but little reputation as Mr. Menry Thompson's Despatch. Naw Ontzans, La,, July 2, 1864. THR ARMY—QUERILLAS—RAID OW PLANTATIONS. ‘The army atill remains quiet at Morganza.

THE SQUABBLE FOR GOVERNOR. ‘There fs copsiderable commotion just now over the question of the next Governor, who is to be elected t this State in November next, as successor Governor Sey- mour. In the first place, the contest between the radicals ‘and the Seward men on this question is daily becoming more and more bitter. Since the retirement of Chuse from the Cabinet the Weed and Seward wing of the party are placing great reliance upon having the entire influence of the administration on their side, against the democratic element. In fact, they even assert thas the letters of Thurlow Woed showing up the radicals were written, after an understanding at Washington with O16 Abe, to be used as the ivitiative sfor important changes The fact that they were followed by the immediate arrest of the Navy Agent (Mr, Henderson) and the retire ment of Mr. Chase is cited as proof of their being Prompted at the White House, or at least advised there. This state of affairs is not wholly relished by the olf democratic element in the party. They, however, stil? cling to the idea that they can beat the Seward interes¢ at the convention held fo nominate a Governor this fall, and claim that Seward and Weed bave no strength in the ‘western part of the State. But we imagine that if the Influence of the national administration is turned over te the Seward wing, the radicals will have a hard road te travel, with all their vaunted strength. At any rate, the Seward side are now carrying on the fight with deter- mined vigor, and are confident of success, The State Central Committee meet in this city to-morrow to call the | Gubernatorial Convention, when the contest will be de- | veloped in ‘all of its interesting phases, | THE CANDIDATES. % Among the candidates now mentioned on the repu’l can side are the following:—Lyman Tremain, whe 9 ‘urged by those who nominated Wadsworth in 1862. It claimed that he is the representative of the Wadsworth interest of the party. The evenis at the late Syracuse Convention, as well as those at Baltimore, have placed him in the front ranks of that wing of the party, The other candidates talked of are Toomas Hillhouse, who te Governor Morgan's candidate, and may yet be Weed’ Charles J. Folger, James Cook and Congressman R. B Fenton are mentioned, all of whom are looking to Wee® for assistance. In view of the fact that the Weed and Law party are preparing for gridiron legislation on @ grand scale next winter, Cook or Fenton is more probable to be the candidate of that interest. Thomas @. Alvord also looms up in the suti-Weed interest, and may be the man who will be centred upon by that wing im the event of Tremain being unable to reach it. Other candidates will no doubt be mentioned as the campaign progresses, while, perhaps, some of those mentions® abeve may fall back upon Lieutenant Gevernor. THE DEMOCRATIC SIDR. ‘The politicians on this side of the house are not by aay means all manipulating in reference te Chicago, The gubernatorial prize dazzles some of thom, as@ several candidates have been mentioned of Inte for Governor, Among them are the following:—Governes Seymour, who is urged especially by some of the mem- bers of his staff; Sanford E. Church, by those who have not seen any change in events; D. R. Floyd Jones, by @ portion of the war democrats; John Ganson, member of Congress from Buffalo, and Daniel P. Ingrabam, one the judges of the Supreme Coart of thiecity. The latter is very strongly urged by an important element in the party. The name of Judge Barnard, of this city, hee algo been mentioned for Governor. The candidates fer Lieutenant Governor are sumerous. Josiah T. Miller, Inspector Genera of the State Militia, is actively press’ ‘ng bis claims for that position, and ie erged and advo. cated by Herrick’s atlas, The real programme, hew- ever,om this side of the house will not transpire after the Chicago Convention.
