And all this, be it remembered, happens in the fourth year of ihe wir. with men bv hundreds of thoii- ini. under lirtll And now we ask. the whole nation will ask. ! icho is refnntible for such humiliation Is tt I the President, the Secretary of War. the Chief of Stuff, or can it be tint our military affairs are i still left at such loose ends as we know them to i have been before, tint tossesisBSS one and some times the other of these t unctnmanes assumea to exercise the direction of the war. selects the j point of military occupation, and assigns the of ficers to their several commands? In the uncer tainty resting on this subject we think there is no i doubt about one thing, and that ia, that if the; President cannot discover and correct the source of these blunders, the people, in the upproacr.inc elections, will not be shjw todicover one method by which they can put an end to this reign of military incompetence in Washington. No res pect for the President's "honesty of purpose." und no admiration for the purity, intelligence and administrative skill, which they may reeogni.e in the other Executive Dentrtments of the Government, will stand in the way of ridding the War Department of the incubus which now visibly rests on it under its present management making it a shame and a reproach to the nation And iu so saying we intend no particular personal allassoa to Mr. Stanton, for we do not know to day that he is responsible for these things It may bo t'iat he confines himself llfietly SS the civil details of hia office, and does not meddle in the matters which somebody under him or above him brings to such confusion. But we do know that somebody i responsible for the late gross malfeasance, which must ever stand in our military annals as a national disgrace, so long as pos ferity shall revert to the time when live hundred men laid Washington under siege for two days, with ten or twenty thousand men behind its defences! Such is the penalty which a nation pays for leing ruled, in any depwt merit, by it ignorance rather than its intelligence. Nor does the evil end with the disappearance of t.ie late fright Who, ufler such an exhibition of military incompetence in our counsels can repose any confidence in the military administration so long as it shall remain subject to its present di rtvbusV What security can any man fetl when (tie watchmen from the walls of our national capital lift up their voices only to expose their own ignoratue of the nature and extent of the peril from which they call the people to save litem? What Governor of what State will be PiPl hereafter to respond to the tap of the ',ru' iu W -hingtoo Rt its alarms are beiten w,th m0!it vhenetice when there is the l " l '2 -,M .u ! country?

Let ail loval people lav lhee tbiuga to heart, but. above all, aud first of all, let the President of the United States be assured that for these ttingi his countrymen Mill hold bim to a strict accouut, and that they will exact full atonement for the great indignity which thc Nation has just suffered in the eyes of the world. The President, we know, is nmbiliouu9 to earn not only the good opinions of his fellow-citisens, hut n!so to receive their votes at the uext election. It he would rece: vy t'iem he mut be carelul to deserve them; and if he should in tins way vindicate hi c'.a'ui to the renewed confidence of 'he lountry, we are sure that we could sincerely rejoice in his auccos, uot from any inlernst we take in his person si fortunes any more than iu those of any other man of any other party, but. j because we desire the best welfare of the Kepub lie in this dav, when ! e ioiiin- : highest statesmanship aud tne mo-t exalted capacity to conduct to a wise conclusion the sffntsol lh State.

Tbe terrible invasion of Maryland, which has caused such consternation and lying, is at sa end. It is now definitely known that the force did not exceed fifteen thousand, sad was cobsposed of Breckinridge - and Karl?' divison. with about three bundreal cavalry. One 'Correspondent, who claim to have been within the limits of the Confederates, says their force was nealr forty thousand , with a hundred and forty pieces of artillery. His facts ire fictions. We

have correctly stated the at tact on Washington was obviously a feint, to enable the raiders to secure tbe supplies they had so industriously gathered. It is stated that troops have been sent from Washington for the purpose of intercepting th Confedarates; but the report that General Sheridan' Cavalry had been dispatched bv ittMierai irani lor mat purpose, io4 nanover Court House, is without foundation. General Wilson's command was brought to Washington and remounted, ami it attempt to hrarrase , tbe enemy in their retreat Tbey are. however. ! strong enough to repel any assault that may be ' saade. They obtained -everal thousand recruits and a vsl amount ot supolies. A cotemporayr justly remarks that they depart after having created immense excitement in tbe North by a skillful distribution of a small force at points where their movements would attract the most attention. Ihe leaders calculated that the alarm naturally occasi tied by their boldness and audacity would tend to spread exaggerated statements of their numbers. These, rapidly propagated, would prevent immediate operations against tbem, inasmuch as the people of the Xorth, with their minds filled with ideas ot an "immense rebel force," would lose time in making gigantic preparations to crush it. Under cover of the alarm und the exaggerations, their work ot plunder could be consummated, and their audacity climaxed by a mock attack on Washington, which would afford them food for loud boasting on their return to Lee's army. JVsBI lari Timm Päonien Daniel Wkbstw. During the latter dav- 'i Mr Webster he was assailed Bf the abolitionists on account of his 7th ot March speech It is interesting now to turn to that speech and mark the prophetic wisdom which penetrates every line of it. The following is a passage: "If the fsBsfJci and abolitionists ever get the power iu their hands, (hev will overrule the Coo MituticMi, set the Supreme Court st defiance. sJhsJRRS and make law to suit themselves, lay violent hands ou those who differ with them in their opinions or dare to question their fallibility, and finally bankrupt the country anil deluge it with blood " DIED.
