The prize will be sent North for condemnation by a Court of Admiralty. It is a pity that she cannot be retained here and fitted up "for a pilot boat, as she is just the crafl lor such a purpose.

The long-expected funds were brought here in the Unile/l Slates, an 1 the delay of the Go.ernnicnt in meeting the demands of the sold ers is to be attributed solely ;o the want ol change, aud the impossibility of issuing morj promptly the po tage currency which t ongress : uthorized for the purpose of relf virig that want. IV er money has one great advantage over coin. It is handled and counted easily, and payments are made with rapidity. One regiment had six months pay due them up to the Sftt of August, and the others four months, so that the the sum r ce.ved by each man amounts to soni thing considerable.

The Rebel Raid in* Pennsylvania.?Assurances have been received from Washington that the rebel raid into Peunsvivauia on the 'Jth is not considered important there; tha. the disposition ol the National lorces will compel a hasty retreat of the enemy, and that their movements must be rapid to escape capture. Gen. Meridian telegiaphed ! to the War Department on the 11th that not one of the rebels in Pennsylvania should return into \ irginia. It is to be hoped that this premise will be fulfilled. On Saturday morning Oct. 11th the rebels destroyed a large amount of property at Chaniborsburg, including the machine shops, railway and rolling stock of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company at that place, and burned the railroad bridge at Scotland, live miles to the castward. They also seized about five hundred horses, and a large an.ou it of Governmerit clothing? exchanging the latter at once for the.'r own dilupi, dated garments. At about 10 o'clock in the morning a portion of the force moved in'the direction ot Gettysburgh, with the intention, no doubt, of de, stroying a bridge at that place to prevent the ap. , proach ot troops. The rebels, it now appears, crossed the Potomac near Clear Spring, early 011 I riday morning, and entered Pennsylvania by i Blair s Valley.
