Gen Averill (search for this): article 2
d, and telegraphic 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.

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.--They ransacked the house from the cellar to the garret, and even stole the children's clothing and toys, and fore to pieces the last mementos of departed friends and relatives. In relation to the shelling of Frederick City, the Examiner remarks: Very little damage resulted from the fire to which we were ex

This afternoon the 71st regiment, just returned from the sent of war, was formally received by the Common Council, who provided the members with a dinner at Jefferson Market. Who was the Yankee "Price Commissioner?" Col. James F. Jacques, off the Seventy-third regiment H note volunteers, was before the war a well known Methodist preacher in the State, one of whose regiments he has since commanded. --He is a straightforward, honorable and patriotic citizen. The Governor of illinois suggested to him, at a time when volunteers were not coming in very fast, to use his influence to raise a regiment of troops for the war. The preacher went home, as he said, to "try what he could do," having

r patrons, say no paper ever started in New York has, in six months, met with such general patronage, but the currency so upsets and batters prices, and values, and everything, in such times, that newspaper printing is a Ingar we would rather not indulge in. The owners of the various tugboats plying about the harbor, at a general meeting this morning, resolved to raise their charges in future from twelve to fifteen dollars per hour. The Sixth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, Col. Follansbee, arrived here from Boston this morning. After eating a hearty breakfast they took a steamer for Annapolis. The weather at last exhibits symptoms of a change for the better. We have had no rain as yet, it is true, but there is, a fair promise of it.--An hour's "heavy wet" would be worth millions to the farmers in the country round about, and millions more to the consumers of vegetables and other country produce that are held at exorbitant prices in anticipation of a short crop, ow

ere the growing crops required their labor to the various camps established for their reception. This, too, in excess of what was due from Kentucky. And in Southwestern Kentucky an office, using gunboats and Government transports as aids, was actively engaged with negro troops in forcibly taking hundreds of negroes from the fields to his camp; in many instances taking all the hands on large farms, leaving the crops to perish for want of cultivation. The Yankee editor of the Chronicle (Forney, the pimp,) holds the following language about a people that were once the proudest and quickest to resent Yankee insolence in the old Union. We predict that before the last 500,000 draft is made Gov Bramlette and his slaveholding friends will be as completely prostrated as the slave power of Maryland has been.

xaminer relates some incidents of the late invasion of that county and city. It appears that the ransom of $200,000 demanded by the raiders was paid under compulsion by the banks of Frederick city, each one having been assessed according to the amount of its capital. The Examiner further says: Near and on the battle field of the Monocacy the whole country has been devastated by the of destruction that swept over it. After the battle the infuriated thieves entered the house of Capt John McF Lycth, and broke up the furniture and demolished everything they could lay their hands on. 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.

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.

Col Jacques was sent with his men to the Army of the Cumberland, where he fought under the eye of General Rosecrans, 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 Richmond assert that it was no respect official in its character, and that he had no warranty whatsoever to enter into any negotiations between this Government and th
