Baltimore, Nov. 90
Information received at headquarters
this evening from Accomac county, Va,
announces the disbandlng Of about 5000
rebel troops who had been in camp near
Drummondiown, AS the expedition advance
cd the rebel flags disappeared, and the I'm
ion ciIizens hoisled their flags which had
hitherto been concealed,
The proclamation OF Gen Dix had been
scattered throughout the country,and when
r, ceived III camp where the Union men
had been drafted and forced into the SER
vice, they rcbelled, and the commanding
officers were compelled to disband their
whole force.
The spcessionists said the force coming
against them was SO great that they thought
it folly to resist and the Union men met
them with hearty cheers and the greatest
enthusiasm. AS far as the expedition bad
progressed there was every evidence that
a large majority of the people were OPP
posed 10 secession and the troops were
hililed as their delvcrers from tyranny
and oppres ion.
Information received from Northampton
county warrants the belief that the rebels
will also disbaad. They have destroyed
bridges and telied trees across the roads
but the proclamation has given boldness TO
the Union men and satisfaction 10 the peo-
pie generally. All who are not loyal will
be disarmed. Union men who fled into
Maiyland to prevent being forced with
the militia are returning TO their homes.
