THE NEWS FROM GEN. BANKS COLUMN.

FREDERICK, Aug. 22-The advance guard
of the army is not far from this locality Its
ultimate destination is unknown. The health
of the army is generally good, and the hospit-
ais have but few tenants. The supplies OF
country produce are abundant, and the change
of locality from Sandy Hook works wonders
in favour of health, discipline and cont ent-
ment.
The impression here is that johnson will
move this way in force. He will get hot re-
cepton 1t is possible that as Harper's Fer
ry is not occupied, and but one reg gitnent at
Sandy Hook they may turn their att, ntion
that way. As we occupy the railroad not far
from it, a movement to cut them off could soon
be made. There is reliable information here
that the enemy is concentl ating at Leesburg
some thousands strong, with field pieces
The cool weather and the approach of Septem
Der Will soon bring on movements IN this re
gion, and we should not be surprised if Banks
column will soon be in active work.
Major Doubleday, who has for some weeks
been confined at Washington from the effects
of an accident to his leg, resumed his battery
in Gen. Banks column on Tuesday. During
Major Doubleday's absence the battery has
been in charge of First Lieut.. Hall, who par
