The raid of the rejicls on the north side of the Potomac to the vicinity of Washington and Baltimore, has caused a terrible fright, bnt onr later advices do not warrant the opinion that it Is anything more than a horse and cattle steal ing expedition, designed to furnish the rebel armies with lie supplies which they impera tively need, and at the same time cause the withdrawal of a portion of Grant's forces to the defense of Washington, and thus alTurd relief to the sorely pressed army of Lee. 'The number of rebels who succeeded in getting into Maryland it now appears was much exaggerat ed, and Grant coolly rays that he is nut to be diverted from his original purpose by any non tense of that tort. The raiders have succeed ed in stealing a large number of cuttle, horses, and bogs from the farmers of Maryland and Pennsylvania, hut whether they can succeed in getting the stock to where tho army at Itich. mund can use them, remains to be teen. Gen Banter is rapidly moving from West Virginia with his forces to cut off their retreat, and the oall of the President npou New York and Pennsylvania for one hundred-days men is meeting with response by thousands. If the invading fnrt-e is no larger than we think, and the fore s in IVnn-j Ivauiu, Maryland, and West Virginia are used iu conjunction with lhnt admit Washington, null proper vigor, we shall bear of Tore punishment of tiie ma rauding bands. The cutting of the telegraph Wires anil the interruption of railroad eoiinuu nicatioo north from Washington, prevent os getting news wilh tho facility with which otherwise) would. We have nothing from Grant for several days. At last account he had pruolically sur rounded Petersburg, nud was prepared to corn tnenoe shelling the city. The next dispatches are very likely to report the destruction and capture of that stronghold. The sinking of the pirate Alabama, which Was reported in our last week's issue, it con firmed, and it at importnnt a success upon the water a tbeoaplore of Richmond would be poo the land. The ravages of this vessel bult and fitted out in a British port and mann ed by British seamen cauuut have beeu I, as in value than ten millions of Julian. A Brit ish yacht was In attendance to convey him and part ef his crew to a neutral port. It Is said that another armed vessel is to be furnished by British tympalhiiert to the Confederates, and that Senmies will soon be afloat again, to re- sume his depredations upon our cum mere. Bow long, oh Lord I how long ! Congress is reported to have adjourned on the 4th of July. One of Its latest acts increases the rate of taxation on incomes over CtJOO per annum to 5 per cent. The Kt arsahoi. The Kearsarge is a third rate screw gunboat, built at Portsmouth. N.H i io 1801. 8he is 233 feet long, 28 feet abeam, and measures 1031 tons. Her armament con slits of two 11-Inch gum mouuted on circular railways, oue 24-pound rifled gun, aud five 32 pound broadside guns of common pattern. Her commander, Capt. John A. Whitlow, was sta tioned on this coast in 1853, we believe. In on of the V. 8. ships of war. The name, Kearsarge.

We nro not of thnsu who oun look tipnii a national debt ns a blessing. On Iho contrary, we believe Hint for tiutioni hi well ns individu als, Poor RichnruVs maxims nro sound policy. But thcro are . emergencies In the lives of nil individual! and of all nntiont when indebted ness is the only meant of averting voice evils. Tho preaent crisis it anoh an emergency in our nutional history. Without the ate of our credit we could not have carried on the war a day. Now that the enormout cxpenaet of thia gi gantic war are piling upon us a vast nationnl debt, the copperhendt, true to their instinots, reck to embarrnet the Government and weaken the Union party by arouting the fean of the people by predicting all tortt of imaginary ruin in consequence of it. This it, according to them, the pre-eminent ditnetor. It would be nothing thould the rebellion get control of the country, and a few Southern aristocrat! rule the entire people nothing thould the Repnblio go down !d a night. The only thing worth considering it the debt. And when they come to state the amount of it, their imagination runt riot with the facts. Four, five, or six thousand millions are their common figures. Fortunately, we have the c.fficinl records to re fer to, and thete are somewhat more reliable than copperhead imaginations. Here it the latest official statement : WSHlKnTnsJ.

The debt is. shown b the statements of tho Department to be only (in round numbers) (1,700,000,000-aiid the yearly Interest now payable only $71717,991 of which only $49,973,505 is pnyablo In coin The rovenuu iu coin from customs for the lust yearwat $69,059,644 twenty millions more than the coiu required for interest, and tho re ceipts from tales of lands, iuternul revenue, aud all other sources (exclusive of loans) $33, 677,438 in currency sixty-two milliuus more thau the amount of lawful money required f interest.

The only additional loan authorized by Congress It one of $400,000,000 (the telegraph blundered this into $1,400,000,000), the in terest on which will he $24,000,000. We can, therefore, without any increase of taxation, pay all tho interest on the present debt, w ith the additional debts authorized by. Congress and not yet funded, and have one hundred and thirty milliuus a year left tt.wnrd paying the current expenses of the Government. Our public debit's enormous, and we havo no wish to belittle or overlook it, lint it is not nearly up to the ability of the country lo pay, and we protest against misrepresentations which make it much larger than it really is. Till VOTERS IMrOKTED IX TO POLK. Tho Review, after vainly endeavoring to dis tract attention from tho frauds of the party of which it It a shining light, in Polk county, by pointing to frauds a thousand miles or two away, has at Inst had the hardihood tn deny that any parties were hired by copperheads to go into Polk county to vote. We know we enough that the Review is not particular about a falsehood or two when its tnnu,inay derive benefit therefrom, and we long ago made up our minds not tn be surprised at anything we found in its columns unless it might lie some noble, truthful sentiment bnt tho editor daet startle us with the effrontery with which he can tell a notorious untruth and swear tn its correctness. A little more than two weeks be fore the election, some noted oopperhead politi cians went from Polk county to Portland and hired a lot of rowdies, gamblers, and other vile creatures, at $40 per head aud expenses, to go up to Polk for the purpose of voting. These men went there, were boarded among noted copperhead politicians including some of the candidates for office until election, when they all attempted to vote, and most of them were (very wrongfully, at we think) permitted to do to. About the same time, sundry parties io Pulk county and Id this town were engaged in the same dirty basinets of employing ores turet who were low enough to accept tuch ter vioe, and a considerable number did go from this county for the same purpose. These par ties all remaiued in Polk county until election day, and they all left on that day or tki next, and have not retumtil. That they had no in tention of becoming retidenli, is now plain, if it Were before doubtful. Soma of The employ ers failed to coiuo lo titno with the promised compensation, and a noted secessionist of this town bat been iiupnrtuued by more thau one of the imported stock fur the pay they were aa turetl should De lorinooiuing. indeed, we are told that suit baa been commenoed by one of them against the secessionist aforerauj within day or two, before Justice Hatch, of this towu, to recover the prior of hit vote. Thete facte are notoriout all over the State at least Ibis part of it known to everybody, ust at well as they know that Grant and Lee ire opposing eaoh other iu Virginia. The cop ,terheadV hereabouts bo louger oiler pretense of tenia). That the Review should now alleoipt, titer all the wide notoriety the facts havo ob- ained, to deny them, proves that sheet to be a narvel of cool Impudence, and an appropriate Advocate ef suoh a cause at copperhead dw oooraoy. Or Preutloe eayt it is lot likely the Pre aont paper, the Attt Katim, will live long uoogh to Vntitle it to be oalled the Old Nation.

A gentleman in Linn uoiinly, wriling to us upon business matters, adds the following: " I vvreli i woulil hiMii,Ii in your tipeT the totul iitiHiinit of iiimicy riiiHi'd in tlrrfroo tor tho Sunitiiry came ninrr, the ailliat'rintiona wore flrt rotntneurt'il.

It would bo very interesting to many bcaidos our correspondent to know how much our little State has contributed in this noble cause, and if the information was within onr reach we would bo glad to publish it, but it is not. The earlier contributions were all, we think, for warded to Mr. Molbreok. aud his practice was for a time to give the total in- acknowledging euoh successive addition. This wus continued until, we think, April, 18G3, when the whole amount received by him was about $26,000, including the premium on the gold received which he converted into currency. The pre tuiutn wat stated at about $4,000. Since that time, the Oregonian hat contained frequent acknowledgment! of sums from various sou roes, but no mention has been made of the totals, nor have the acknowledgments of Dr. Bellows been published. If we had a complete file of the Oregonian, we might cull out of its col niiina by considerable labor nn approximate footing of tho total amount acknowledged by Mr. lkillirook, but we have no such iile. The amount must he large we roughly estimate it at from $50,000 to $100,000. But the money tent to Hulbrouk is not the only donation by any means. The local soci eties in Linn, Marion, and perhaps other conn lies, the Ladies' Society of Portland, C. C Reek ninn fur cjtizensof Southern Oregon, and probably other persous whom we do not now think of, have all sent funds direct to Dr. lie lows, and not through the hands of Mr. Hoi brook. It is not Improbable that the toto;l amount raised in Oregon for this benevolent pnrpose exceeds $150,000. We trust that those who have had the mat ter in charge will give tho public such state ments ns will enable them to know what the gift of Oregou to the good cause has been. RESIGNATION OK MB. CIIASK. We are yt-t somewhat in the dark as to the immediate causes of Mr. Chase's resignation. We are also unadvised us to whether hia suc cessor Intends to inaugurate any new fiuauuiul policy. From the transactions of the past ses sion of Congress and the relations that exist between different members of the Cabinet, we may Judge nearly as to what brought about the resignation. W bile Congress; had the bank bill under consideration, it was tho policy of Mr. Chase to exempt the branches of the national bank from Statu taxation, while Mr, Fesseuden led the opposition to that policy in the Senate, and held that the creation of such banks free from taxation would be an infringement of the rights of the States. The act ion of "Congress upon Ibis and nlher questions that arose after ward, probably convinced the Secretary of the Treasury that he could not be sustained iu that policy w hich he felt to be the best and safest one for ruisingin revenue and supplying the government with funds fur carrying ou the war, and not being willing to become 'the iu- struiiieut for carrying out a uew policy, he re signed. It is also probable that personal rea sons had something to do with the matter. Chase was fiercely attacked iu the House by Frank ISIair, and deuouueed for insompeteney and o irruption, nnd the President soon after appointed liluir to a high command in the army. while hit brother retained the positiou of Post- Master General, enjoying the confidence of the President, and at the same time taking actiro part in tho war against Chase. Hit personal friends urged him at that time to retire, but he concluded, from patriotic motives, as ther al lege, to retain hit position, hoping' that Con gress might yet conclude to udupt hit policy. But becoming finally convinced that there wat no hope in that direction, nnd feeling uncom fortable in the Cabinet with tome of itt mem bers nt war wilh hiiu, he concluded to leliru. But whatever mny have been the motives that induced hit resignation, we can but feel that he is succeeded by one who it competent for the po ilion, and in every way worthy of the nation's confidence. Ho acted at chair inuu of the Senate committee on finance, and Is perhaps as well posted in relation to that delicato and important branch of our affairs at any other inuu in the nation Tub Gkiiman Piikss nut rox Fremont. The impression is general that the German cit ileus of Iho United States are almost unanl inous for Fremont, hut it is without foiindn tion, if the German press may be taken at an iudex of the teutiment of the clast who read it. The New York Staali Zcitung tayt that out of the 320 German papers published in the United States, ouly ten expressed a preference for Fremont before his nomination. The San Fraucisco Demohal has hoisted the names of Lincoln and Johnson, and forcibly advocates their eleotiou through ils editorial columns. The Staatt Zcitung it the leading German organ of the United States, and exerts a vast lulluence. and the Demokrat bears about the same relation to the Pacific th it the former does to tbe Atlantic States. Fremont's sup porters are fast vanishing by election he will not have enough for a stuff! A linnet, Soldier votes. A man who acknowledged that he has served in the Rebel army under Claih Jackson in Missouri (and probably deserted ) Voted III Coppel precinct tn Walla Walla County, Washington Territory at the election ou the 6lb instant.

Hurry, with a surveying pnrly, bus been gngcil for several weeks' in making a survey of a route for the railroad to tontust Oregon with California. We understand that the work is being dono iu the most thorough man ner, including tint only the mere line of the route itself, but a complete reconnouianre of the country for about four hundred yards on eaoh sido of the Hue, fixing the topography of tho country, tho position of dwellings, streams, mountains, &o in short, compiling duta which will onitblo a perfect topographical map of the conntry through which tho Hue passes, to bo made The routo dtbouchet into the Wil lamette Valley through the " Sand Creek" or Mulvnny" pass in the Calipnoia mountains, crossing the head of the Siuslaw creek, on to the head of Long Tom, thence skirting along the foot-hills of the Coart mountains until it strikes the maia Willamette valley near th mouth of Long Tom. From this place it passes down tho broad valley to Corvallis, and through BenUin and Polk coonties via Amity to the Yamhill river. The design, we understand, it to proceed by way of Tunlatin Plains to strike the Columbia river near St. Helen. The pro jectort of the route appear to have exhibited re markable skill in avoiding the principal towns of the valley, Corvallis being the only oue- which the routo touches, and if the route now in process of examination is adopted, the whole of the Willamette Valley abovo Long Tom aud all the eastern pottion of it, including Eu gene City, Harritbiirg,' Albany, Jefferson, 8a lem, Oregon City, and Portland will bo do prived of the benefit of it. It is soid-we don't know upon what authority that Col. Barry designs making a survey op the east sido of the river, upon bit return. We cull attention to nn advertisement in another column requesting detailed iuforma lion upon the soil, productions, amount of land in cultivation, mines, and minerals, nnd vari ous other subjects connected with the general prosperity of Oregoni We hope a general re. sponse to these interrogatories will be given by well-informed persons throughout the Statu. Statistics thus collected cannot fail to impart much valuable information, which will be of vast importance for other purposes than the determination of the proper routo for the rail road. We trust that general and full re spnnses Will be furnished to the advertisement. Affairs at Coos. Wo learn from a gen tleman nf Coos Bay, that Messrs. Winchester, Wnsson nnd others nre about to commence the erection of a large saw-mill to run by water on one of tho streams putting into Coot B ty. The discoveries of copper npou Cues river, some time ago, which caused so much excite ment seem tn hnve been bogus. The " ore that was sent to San Francisco for atony yield ed 96 per cent, rock, 3) per cent, dirt, nnd the remaining one half per cent, in doubt, but it Is known that the copper is halo. A fine schooner, the tonnage of which we do not remember, was launched at Coo.-J.,n th 8th instant and another it to be commenced in the same yard forthwith. Tho country around Coot Bay affords at fine timber at any on the coast and tbe harbor ia an excellent one. The facilitiet for thip building aro not surpassed by any place, from Queen Charlotte's Island, to Cape St. Lnoas, and the same may be said of lumbering. The Coos Bay cedar makes a very superior article of finishing lumber which we hliv "lie hurhaMT tbn nuv other in tbe San Fraucisco market. Coos County alio has ns rich a soil at any county iu tne state, aim it only wants pnpula tion sufficient in numbers and enterprise, to olenr off the timber, to mako it one of the most productive. We know of no locality which now affords greater inducements to a hardy, en lerprisiug population, It may yet beo::mo one of the most wealthy districts iu tho State. ttoNQliKSS Adjourned. Congress adjourn ed July 4th. A private dispatch from Hon. J It. M'Brido to a friend iu Salem says that the passage of tall Oregon measuros of itn portanoe wat secured before the adjournment. Ibis includes, we suppose. the bill for a brand mint, the bill granting; lands to aid the con ttruotion of a ruad from Willamette valley acrosa the Cascade mountains to the milting re gion east of Det Chules river, the bill making a similar grant tn tho road from the Dalles to Canyon City, tbe bill appropriating $20,000 for the purpose nf treating with ibe Snake, Klam ath, Modoo and other tribtt of loutheaatcm Oregon. There mny be otbert nlso, bnt these are all that we now remember. We will nut have a full report of the pio oeedings nf the hitter days of the session before the 15th of August probably. On his RbtUHN. Hon. John R. M'Bride telegraphs to a gentleman of Salem that he would leave New York by tho steamer Ocean Queeu on the J3lh of this mouth. He mny be expected to arrive at homo about the 13tb of August. It is not often the fortune of a young State to be represented by a more Industiions, effi cient, or worthier representative than Mr. M'Bride. He has been xealous and untiring in attending to the interests of the Stale iu the national oounoils, and to tha interests of indi viduals at tbe departments. Gold ani Currency We have uo very late advices as to the price of gold in New York. The last quotation was 270. It hat been 280. The speculator! seem to have run the gold market of late entirely independent of the fortunes of tbe war and a sucoest or defeat hat nn effect upon ttie currency. Greenbacks were worth 39 nd 40 ceutt in Sau Fraucisco at latest datet. They are toarce here and a few have been sold during the last week at 50 cents. Error Corrkctkd. Our attention has been called to a small error in the vole fur Congressman as published by us. Henderson has 59 votes in Coo County instead of 50 as we -had it. Kelly's vote was 57. The differ ence in the general result is small, but at a cor respondent at Empire City complains justly we think "It wat bad enough to get no more thau two majority, but too bad to be represent ed as beaten." Mysterious Murder in Sacramento. Oue of the miwt shocking murders on record wat committed at Sacramento on the 5th of lb present month, Oue George Shelby, a rauch niau and teamster, was shot and killed while in bed asleep. Hi wife was asleep beside him at the lime and th aesastin appears to have had lo reach over ber to hold tbe pistol to her hut band's head.

Several new wcl s bavu been dug for supplying water to tho iconic and stock, and additional builtl- ugs are being erecled, thoso used last year having been found utterly insufficient for tho van's of the largo cnucourso of people which gathered thcro last year. Experience has shown the managers many ways in which their arrangements can bo improved and they are nut slow to adopt lliem. The crowd Inst year was unexpectedly large and consequently wat not to well provided fur In some respcott at it thould have been, but these deficiencies will be supplied this time. Our correspondent, iu another column, com plaint that the tendency it tn let our fairs de generate into mere jockey olubs. While we do not ugree with nil his ideas upon thia subject, there is yet too much foundation for hit objec tion. Tbe oulture and improvement of the breeds of horses in this country ought to be en couinged and fostered, but thia should not be done at the expense nf other equally valuable interests. Horse racing and borse showing should not predominate to the exclusion of other domestio auimals or of the products of the farm, the garden or the dairy. , The remedy for this objeotionable tendenoy of our fairs is in the hands of the farmers them selves, far more than it is in the power nf tha malingers. If farmers bring nothing but colts and stallions tn the exhibition, only the lovers nf horses will be attracted. But if they bring their cows, their sheep, bogs, wheat,' oats, to bacco, wool, fruit, domestio fabrics, butter uud cheese everything in short which is produced on a farm the' ornwd of farmers and farmers' wives and farmers' children will be intereeted aud each may learn something from what his neighbor has brought. We especially hope to see a bi tter display both in quantity and quality of dairy prodnots. Oregon ean produce and a few of her dairy men do produce just as good butter and cheese as Goshen or Cheshire, yet notoriously most of the butt, r nnd cheese brought to market in Ore gun towns is far short of tho best quality.- Tons of both are yearly brought from New York and California to Oregon and sold at higher prices heoause the quality it superior. A4I this is wrong and should be chunged, and one of the best methods to stimulate improve' ment is to exhibit the best specimens produced at State and county fairs. Farmers! if agricultural Fairs become dull and uninteresting, or if they degenerate into jockey clubs aud hone races, it it mainly your fault! Bring on your agricultural products and muke the Fuir an agricultural ouu in fact, WAOOX KCAD TO 8ANTIAM. A corporation bat been formed under the name of the "Salem and DesChutet Wagon Road Company," with a capital stock of $ 100 000. The design of the company it to oonstruot a wagon road from tome point in the valley to the quartz lead in the Sautiumiiountaini, aud to extend the tame afterwards if necessary to the.Dcs Chutes River, on the route to Canyon City and John Day's mines. This is one of the most important enterprises of the season. aud we hope to seo it pushed along to comple tion, so that heavy freight can be taken in to Qunrtzvillo this fall. We learn, also, that the people of Lebanon aud vicinity have discovered an excellent routo for a wagon road across the Cascades, a short distance south of the nno which ilio 'eolrm and Des Chutes Company" design opening, and wilt have a force at work to open it in a few days. ty Our paragraph about the P. M. at Oak land and the reply of himself and his amicus curia, Mr. Crawford, appear to have created no little stir in Douglas county and we have received several private letters and communi cations intended for publication about the mat ter. We decline to publish most of thetn be cause they mix up too many mutteis merely personal with the point in issue, and we also decline to publish the remainder' because the matter is too unimportant to justify us iu watt ing space upon i(. The faott as we gather them from all sources appear tn be, that Mr. Lord vot d in 1863 for McBride for Congress and Miller for Governor, and for Hardy Elliff, a notorious secessionist, for Legislature, giving his vnto for tbe remain der of tho offices to tho Union candidates. Last June he voted for Kelly for Congress, all the Uniou candidates for Legislature, nnd di vided bis vute on the county ticket aboot half and half between Copperhead and Union men.

The Washington Chronicle, tho administra tion paper at Washington, has Ihe following flattering notice of our Senators. At M r. Har ding is nut candidate for re-election, we can re publish the paragraph without suspicion of design to assist him to the Senate again : Hon. B. F. Harding, Senator in Congress, from Oregou. left New York for his home in that Stale, in the California steamer, about two weeks ago. Mr. Harding deserves a warm welcome at the hands of his loyal constituents. Although not a speaking member of the Senate, he has been constant and conscientious in fol filling his dnties. Elected as a Democrat, like hit colleague. Hon. J. W. Nesmilh, the other and older Oregon Sena'tor. he and Mr. Nesmilh have given Mr. Lincoln'! administration a val cable and nngrudging support. Mr. Nesmilh was early in hit manly resistance to Secession, and. from the hour when the rebellion assailed the flag, bat never wavered in givint Ihe Gov eminent most effective support. There nay have been occasions a hen the two Oregnn Sen ators have not gratiftrd niero partisans, but their course in general, has been independent and above-board. The aid of such men to Ihe eneral Administration in a time of war it far imre important than that which originates io Id party prejudices, or new official expect ions. tyTbe Richmond Sentinel says there are 'tore than 3.000 women iu that city who art ; epl from starvation by charity.

Wilh this, wo loaded our little brass 12-pounder, nnd llred thirteen bully rounds for tho thirteen original Slates.

At the last report died away, Lieut, lienor prnposed three timos three for the Union, which wero given with a will. Uncle Abo nnd Andy received three routing cheers.
