It was the Republican members of the legislatuie who decreed that when a man tights for his country he is disfranchised, and if they had not seceded, like Jt.

WASHINGTON CORRbSPONOENCE, Another View of tike Rebel In union ! Fr ni tbe New York World's Correspondent. W A.-ni M.TON, July 10, 1864. All the information I have been able to gather concerning the invasion of Maryland, some of which 1 have reason to believe perlectly accurate, leads me to the com ln-ion that the forces now ravaging a portion of that State do not exceed twelve thou-.md men This movement has not, then, the character of an invasion, properly speaking, and deserves no other name than that, of a raid on a large scale Those twelve thousand men consist of Breckinridge's command, four thousand strong; Mosebv's cavalry, two thousand. Imboden s cavalry, two thousand, and Eatiy 'a torcc. four thousand, making and agerepate of twelve thousand soldiers, all told Had the rebel forces been above that number the ex pedltioai wouM not have consi-ted of a series ot I l II UUTl i lll uit;iiiiivii- ! m-uuill't ini'l-, nut 1 ...

The fact that the rebels did not march on either is a convincing proof the in idcxjuacy of their means of action and of the true nature of their attempt, As regards the rumor that len. Lee is posting his troops en eckeUn lietween Bichmond and Gor donsville, preparatory to an advance on Washing t in or on Maryland, I have excellent reasons to believe that the news, if it has any Inundation, is at lea?', jiremattue A -mIe glance at (.eneral Lfi'l position indicates that it euch were I. - intentions, aud if !uch a movement was advisable, which strategical considerations render extremely doubtful, he has not the means to put his iuten tJoaM into practiee. Ou ihe supposition of a removal of bis army from Peterburg it is evident that (ien Lee has but two courses to adopt: either to lay sice to Washington or to invade Maryland If he choe- the hiM. he expoe hiiuselt to loe time in the preparation of a siege which he has n means to carry on; he leaven at the same time the dors of Kichmond open to our 1 forces aud uncovers his rear and ins dank?, which i ran be attacked b th bv land and water; it he ! . the -ecv I 'l ..nowiv.t It - .vi iniauu ne ena . . 1 f t I L b e- (ien tirant to describe a circle of riiearound bim from which it will be impossible for him to e-c:iie Such would be Gen Lee s prospects if he were audacious and uuwise enough to undertake a movement of that kind which.

But he is a brave and prudent general, cool tu action, sagacious to perceive the requirements of his own position and tbe weak or strong points of his ad versary. and with moral courage enough to retreat and aave bis command, instead of doggedly Bghtiwg until his men are uselessly sacrificed These is abundant testimony to show that on this occasion be handled the Urge lores under bis or dees with great ability; hi dispositions were "killful and timely; all of his soldiers, except raw volunteers, i.iught splendidly; and ne was defeated simply, as the Secretary of V at truly lates. by the superior forces of the enemy. The position which he held at Monocracy bridge was MM that he might have held against tbe Confederate force that advanced against him from Frederick. Hut there was a force in his rear also.

To day the? are informed by their Mavor that "the danger which threatens the cit? is imminent, and ever? loval man must at once prepare to meet it The invading army J i ' I lit , . . .1... i nous i litis oi cuizeii nave spetii ine w noie ot mis f... . .... . . . noly Sabbatn day in laboring diligently, in the broiling hot sun. upon the tortifications around the city And if Baltimore is really attacked, they will lay down their lives there in defense of their beautiful citv. But if this is all, it will be a useless sacrifice If this jB all, the appeal has been nndo too late. . If the covernment has I niade no better provision for the defense of Baltimore than it made to prevent the advance of the rebels to our verv gale-1, then it is idle to expect that the Citizens ol the place, unused to arms, can defend their etty against Gen. Lee's whole array. It is to be hoped that the government has taken such measures as will insure the successful defenac of the city. The means of doiug so nave been in ine power ot the at Department I for the last .ten days. These means are ample; but have they been onllew into exercise? If thev have, the city will be saved. If they have not. it is Washington, and not Baltimore, that is iu imminent danger of capture. THF. PRESENT MOVEMENTS OF THE REBELS DIRECTED TOWARD THE RAILROADS From all that I can learn to day, however, it doe not seem that the rebels have any intention of attacking Baltimore immediately. Of the ex act condition of the city and its defenses they are correctly informed, as there were several Baltimoreans in Federick at the time the rebels entered that place. They will, no doubt, recounoiterthe cify. and Washington also. What Col Mosby learned at that picnic wbich he attended at Falls Church, only eight miles from Washington, on the 8th, and from the owners of the 'J50 valuable aud trained cavalry bwtac- which he ca;. t'.ue I 01 the same day neir Fairfax, will be worth far more to Gen. Lee than the horses themselves. But as long as the railroads from the north aud east contiuue to bring troops to Baltimore, it will not be prudent for General Lee to attack the city; ami, therefore, the first movements of the rebel commander will be directed to the seizure of those railroads The battle which will decide the et ents ml the next few days will probably be brought on, therefore, by an attempt on the part of the rebels to gain possession of these roads. HAS MARYLAND IIEKillTS BEEN kVACCATED? The propriety of evacuating Mai vland Height-, which I urged on the 5th, is now painfully evident. If that had beeu done at first, and the troops there concentrated on the railroads, the safety of those roads would have been absolutely secured. If. as is reported todtv, Maryland Heights was evacuated yesterday, and if the tr wpi there joined Wallace before the retreat of the latter, and if Wallace is allowed to make the oroper disposition of his troops, those roads be held until we are more strongly reinforced But if Sigel obeyed the instructions which the Administration paper- said that Ceti ! Hunter had sent to him. to hold the Heights till j he joined bim. and has remained there till to day, bis whole lorce will be captured. I can hear nothing reliable, however, either of him or of Hunter. It is probable, as matters look uow. that the rebels mat succeed in cutting the Harriburj; railioad. perhaps about ten or twenty miles north of this city Rut it will be a more difficult mat ter lor them to approach the Philadelphia railroad Whatever troop there ate at the North, however, should at once be hurried on here by way of Philadelphia. A strong force now, on the railroad between here an-i Hivre de Grace, mitv be the means of saving not t? iltimore only, but Washington also I i 1 1 LATL.-T 1 have just ascertained that the Confederates, alter following Wallace for some di.-tance, turned the heads of their columns a little to the right, and are now approaching Washington The gov a d . i i i , ei nineut nas a largr ht. a? un i;ie ranroau oeitei, , .i Waaliinal.in a.. ,tUn.ajd aa 1.. b hh ; between the' advancine eneim toward citT " Dm in , ' m Linroln upon Hie Battle fieldWe see that tbe paper are referring to the fact that Lincoln ordered a comic song to be sung upon a battle held We have known the facts about the transaction for aome time, but have refrained from speaking litem.

Thweupon Jack struck up. as loud as he could bawl, a comic negro song, which he continued to j sing while they were riding off from the bettle

The poor fellows bare loot more than half of their numbers They are feeling very badly, and 1 should be afraid of the effect that it may have on them " The President then asked hi companion to stop bis singing till thev got bv that regiment. We know that tbe story is incredible, that it i impossible that a man who could be elected President of the United State, could so conduct himself over the fresh made grave of the heroic dead.
