SANDY HOOK. MD., Wednesday, Aug. - i''t
Yesterday freight train from Baltimore brought Tie
intelligence that 6yht was progressing at Berlin
Osuer runors were also circulated that several reg
ments OF rebels were approaching the river opposite
Bern from Lovettsvils for the purpose Of erecting
battery to stop trains.
Az officer frum Berlin this morning states that the
light of last night consisted Of about 25 Rebels sp-
preaching the river and firing volley into picket
guard on the abumeut Of tie burnt bridge and also
into tho Town Of Berlin. None Of were killed
o. seriously wounded, s ittoown that the enemy
suffered aoy loss. TIE same authority asserts that the
picket guard at Berlin have for days pas heard
regimental band Of the Rebels, apparently ietween
there and Loveasye and also that the force at Low
ossye oonsts of about 500 cavalry, supported prob
ably by considerable infantry force.
Ii is not improbable that largo rebel force is dis
tribued inland along the Potomac line from Edwards
Ferry 10 the Shenandoah for the purpose OF provenr-
ing our Gous from protecting the UDobists there from
the outrageous expressions ofthe rebels.
Reports have reached here that yesterday ono or
two Unicnifts Of Loudon Valley were dragged from
sick beds and forced into tho rebel ranks. These re-
ports cone from reliable sources.

Rebel regiments near the Potomac, opposite the
