elegraphic communications are soon restored — Destruction of property and robbery of stores do not involve impoverishment. Moreover, they have no natural effect upon the main movements of the armies. They are at most an interruption. We do not know of an instance in which they have compelled an enemy to retreat or to yield a strong position. Our own raids have been more or less failures. At the time of their occurrence we had glowing accounts of the raids of Stoneman, Sheridan, Averill, Wilson, and Kautz, and of the dash and brilliancy of their opponents. But beyond the loss of hundreds of gallant men, and some of our finest officers, and horses without number, to what did they practically amount? How will the columns of profit and loss when added up balance? We can have no better illustration of the practical result of these expeditions than that afforded by the recent visit to our doors. On the one hand, we have lost property, but we are very far from being ruined. On the o

A private letter, received by a gentleman of Boston from London, gives a fact which we have not seen before published: "At the great commemoration day at Oxford last week, a Confederate officer appeared off the platform in his uniform, and was cheered to such a degree as to rise several times and how to the galleries in acknowledgment of the honor." The New York Times, Tribune, World, and News announce that they have advanced their prices to four cents per copy and $10 per year to mail subscribers. The increase, they state, is rendered absolutely necessary by the enormous and constant advance in the price of white paper, and of all other materials used in the publication of a news paper. Gen Hunter, immediately on his return from his disastrous campaign to Lynchburg, put James E Wharton, editor of the Parkersburg (Va) Gazette, in jail, for commenting severely on the failure and his (H's) incompetency.

eference to an advance of compensation. About thirty-five actors w present, and Mr Davidge, the comedian, presided. The result of their deliberations has not transpired at this writing. The theatrical managers have a meeting this evening at Mr Wallace's house, to meet a committee from the actors, with a view to some mutually satisfactory arrangement. This afternoon the 71st regiment, just returned from the sent of war, was formally received by the Common Council, who provided the nk Maniz, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, with part of his furniture and all the railroad property, were fired by the rebels and entirely consumed. Previous to the entry into this city, on the evening of the evacuation of our city by Gen Wallace, these highway robbers visited the residence of Col George R. Dennis, west of this city, on the Harper's Ferry turnpike, and, after helping themselves to liquors, eatables, and other delicacies, they went to work and broke up the furniture.--T

The Hagerstown Herald states that in addition to the sum of $20,000 demanded by the invaders, to be paid by the citizen the following articles had to be furnished: Coats, 243; pants, 203, drawers, 132; hose, 737; boots, 99; shoes, 123; hats, 830; shirts, 225; piece goods, 1,270½ yards; clothing, 70 pieces, assorted Amongst the sufferers whose stores were rifled were Messrs Knodle and Small, shoe dealers, and Messrs Rouskutp and Updergraff, dealers in hate. The losses by these gentlemen were considerable. In Williamsport the raiders entered the stores and carried off whatever suited their purpose, and even entered private houses, compelling ladies to open bureau drawers in order that they might take therefrom any articles of value which they found The losses sustained by the merchants and dealing men of the place are said to have been heavy.

The house was entirely emptied of its contents. The house of Mr C Keefer Thoman, which was occupied by the Union forces, suffered severely by the fire of the enemy. One of the shells striking it entered the dining room, and bursting occasioned considerable damage. During the fight Mr Thomas and family were in the sellar, all of whom escaped unhurt. Among the articles taken from his house were the clothing of his negroes. The barn of Mr Best, on the farm of Col Charles E Trail, was struck by a shell and destroyed.

in future. Miscellaneous. The Philadelphia Enquirer quotes the prices fixed for wheat by the Virginia Commissioners, and tel's its readers to cheer up, that the Confederacy is about "going up; they can't stand it another year." The drought continues throughout the North, and is becoming, according to a Philadelphia paper, a serious question, "in view of the high prices demanded from the Government" The Indiana Banner relates the case of a mother in the neighborhood of Terre Haute who, whilst her son was asleep upon a sofa, put out his eyes with a burning coal, in order that he might be exempted from conscription. A private letter, received by a gentleman of Boston from London, gives a fact which we have not seen before published: "At the great commemoration day at Oxford last week, a Confederate officer appeared off the platform in his uniform, and was cheered to such a degree as to rise several times and how to the galleries in acknowledgment of the honor."

In relation to the shelling of Frederick City, the Examiner remarks: Very little damage resulted from the fire to which we were exposed. One shell passed through the roof of the Presbyterian Church, one hit the residence of the guerilla Bradley Johnson, on the corner of Court and Second streets, and several falling in different parts of the town, none of which exploded. The Hagerstown Herald states that in addition to the sum of $20,000 demanded by the invaders, to be paid by the citizen the following articles had to be furnished: Coats, 243; pants, 203, drawers, 132; hose, 737; boots, 99; shoes, 123; hats, 830; shirts, 225; piece goods, 1,270½ yards; clothing, 70 pieces, assorted Amongst the sufferers whose stores were rifled were Messrs Knodle and Small, shoe dealers, and Messrs Rouskutp and Updergraff, dealers in hate.

Additional from the North. From our latest United States files we gather some items of interest: Affairs in New York city. A gossipping letter, dated New York, the 20th, gives the following intelligence from "Gotham;" The "peace" reports in the morning papers may be — as most people say they must be — all moonshine; but, be that as it may, one good effect is already the result, and that is, a decline in the price of gold, and of almost every description of merchandize "Peace," or anything like an approach to it, would be death to the speculators and the kite-flyers. Hence the exceeding sensitiveness in Wall street whenever that blessed monosyllable is mentioned. A new "sensation" has been gotten up in the Central Park, in the shape of "concerts" on the lake by moonlight. The first performance of the kind came on last night, and attracted thither whatever little of the "beauty and fashion" are still left us, and attracted, also, not a few of the dangerous clas

rans, who, as we have reason to know, thought highly of him as an officer, and found him useful in the management of certain religious questions which came up in Tennessee, and in the arrangement of which we believe Col Jacques has been for some time engaged. The reporter who tells the story of Colonel Jacques's visit to Richmciliation, which he believes to be of immense power, can be used." From these hints it is not difficult for those who have known of Col Jacques's efforts in Tennessee to guess what has been his object in visiting Richmond. As that object must be as well known to the rebel Chiefs as it is to our authorities, else the Colonel whow the visit to the rebel capital could further it. Perhaps the reunion between Northern and Southern denominations which Col Jacques expected to bring about in Tennessee, with what success or effect we have not heard, he hoped also to further in other Southern States. But it is not probable that the pro-slavery churches of t
