A Moven eRt on the Potomac, at
Last.
From Frederick, nId.-Advance OF General
Banks Forces.

Frederick, Nd, Dec 6.-The LIST, ID and 3rd
brigades Of Gen. Banks army, have arrived
here. The two cavalry companies and the ar
tillery battalion, under Cap. Est, Of the 4th
u. s., have aso arrived. None OF the forces
composir z the Mldly Branch camp are now be-
hind, except the l9h, New York, Col Ledlie,
which guards the division supply train, and is
now on its way hilhe'.
As might have been expected after ruralizing
in lstlcss inactivity for months around Dirnes-
town, large numbers OF the soldiers came inn
mediat.ly into the city to enjoy the luSurles Of
city life and city market. After an experience
Of twenty -four hours it was found tina. the mum
Der composing the Provost Guard for the coun
~ was totally inadequate 10 preserve order in
the tteets ard public houses and additional
forces were added.
During the marches of the several brigales
ard battalions there were no Incidents worthy
OF record. The roads in many places were rough,
caused by the ftost directly after wet season.
Two DAYS were occupied 10y the brig dos in
marching distance of 81 miles, but at night
the men and officers ,lept in their blankets un
der the opon sky.
Gen. Banks headquarters are in the spacious
mansion of Bradley T. johnson, now a Colonel
of the rebel army. 1t had been unoccupied ex-
cept by his servants, since his advent into the
rebel army, and offered most appropriate and
convenient place for Its present use. The ser
want left in charge by johnson is still continued
in the same capacity by Gen Banks, ami the
remaining furniture will he well protected, either
for the late owner or the purchaser under the
connscation law.
As the troops passed through the city today,
they were greeted with the Stars and Stripes
and other demonstrations OF satisfaction along
the route by the Union portion Of the popula-
tion; and even those set down as warm scces-
tionists, in some instances, joined in the greet
ings. There appears on the surface TO be a gem
era satisfaction at the presence of Gen. Banks
division, and some hal il as the sign of a
radical change of sentiment, as Ia part
evidenced in the late state election. Some cases
have been noticed where iist1Ous secessiOuists
have thrown open their mansions for the accom-
mediation Of officers and attaches TO the army,
and In no case has there BEEN TO the knowledge
oi your correspondent, that exhibition of hos'i-
lily to the Union cause which he had been lod
to anticipate ffom previous reports.
Gen. Bar ks and staff visited Sandy Hook to-
day OH a special train, It being his first visit
since the evacuation in July. Everything was
quiet from the Point Of Rocks to Harper's Fer
ry, nor were any bodies Of the enemy seen.

THE FAMINE IN IRELAND,


The following is from the Dublin FREEMAN's
Journal, 23d Now;
:" Sir Robert Peel has ende,yorcd to persuade
the public that the cry of distress which has
issued from the Yves ern dis riots is little better
than preterce and has been stimulated solely
for the purpose Of increasing tho poiticalcapitl
and personal popularity OF those who have De
its authors. On this subject, Sir Robert pro.
fesses TO he an authority, inasmuch as he has
driven ih ough the West ard North west Of
Ireland for some eight or ten days. and in that
rief period became fully informed, n he imaS.
Toes, on the social condition aud the absolute
RESOURCES Of the whole popul.t OF Of those large
Districts. We know not whether to admire moro
tho faith of Sir Robert Peel in the crcdulity Of
his audiences, or his opinion of his own Pr Sers
of acquiring information. The Chief Secretary,
however appears to he the only man in lreliul
who doubts the existence of distress. There is
no, the same dist .css that existed in the famine
years ard no person that we know of ever eN-
pressed an opinion TO the contrary. But be-
tween the two extremcs-ol even reaSonl lie
competence and a famine such as existed in
47-there are u. ..,y degrees, and all the clo-
queucc Of the admttedly-g official will tail
10 persuade those who feel and see the prevail
ing distress around them that the failure of The

eNtent sufficient TO excite the most grave
alarms as to the fate Of the poorer classes du-
ring the present winter.
