There is good deal OF alarm IN town, lest the frst
battle will be fought at the Relay House. The descent
of Virginia force, from Harpers Ferry, down the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad is feared and the rebels
are evidently smackng their chops and leering with
endish delight at the prospect of an early collision at
the Relay, aud if 80, at the renewal OF the mob
outrages in this city upon the friends OF the Union.
Anything and everything 10 compGcate matters and
trouble the waters.
The Northern Central Railway is working up to
time but the expected forces for the occupation OF this
city have not yet arrived from Harrisburg greatly TO
the disappointment of all loyal citizens for repeat
that there saety here until the Government shall
garrison Baltimore and put the Municipal authority IN
loyal hands, The Philadelphia railway Is to be opened
on Monday morning, three days sooner than was ex-
pected Surely General Patterson will then remove
bis head quarters Baltimore, occupy the heights and
enable the Uniousts 10 show their strength by the
presence Of sufficient force in garrison. Z.
1t fully believed that the four regiments called for
by the President from Maryland will be accepted with
out the Intervention Of Gov Hicks, who seems 70 be
squelched out Just now. If so they will be raised in
double quick time and to them may safely be entrusted
the task of keeping down the rebellion ia this city and
State IL the right put Mt the head of them.

of the 5th United States Infantry who earned for his
country and himself such noble laurels the battle

bellon of the City Government against the Federal
Government is not pretended to be denied, but they
think they can escape the mesbes Of the law. But
these should not be made the ecapegoats. Why does
not the Government bring up the Board of Police and
their Marshal, Col Trrnbe and score of other par
ties all equally concerned in the Gorilla rebellion

inv heap OF mischief but the opposition of the loyal
States.
There is u rumor that the Virginia rebels joined BY
band Of Baltimore ruliians, have advanced down the
Railroad from Harper Ferry, and seized the monocacy
bridge and the Frederick junction, aud il is apprc
benced they design throwing detachment into Fred

the Government did not realize the desperation of its
Virginia enemies. And, strange as it may seem, 1t
docs no, appear to estimate the hostility Of the Mary
hand rebels AT It's true value. The zeal OF loyal Mary
nders ia no, Of that resoute and active character that
can hold at bay the rebels for il is unarmed and un-
sustained by tie power of tue United States the
tent it ought to be.
The shir,oish at Annapolis ought to convince the
Government that loyalty is still at large discount in
Anne Arundel County. Nothing will give it such
stimulus as a prompt and condign punishment Of the
offender- COL Smith should remember that he is not
in friendly country and ii he would know no differ
ence between friend and foe in his dealings with the
people around him. his camp would not be infested
with spies nor his pickes fired by struggling rebel
horsemen lie should trust none Of the Greeks bring

STARTLING RUMOR FROM THE RELAY HOUSE.
p. S.-The city is alarmed by startling rumor from
the Relay House to the effect that Col Joness pickets
Of the 9Th Massachusetts Regiment had been driven in
by Virginia rebel force that descended the railroad
from Hsrpers Ferry 70 Leicester, miles up the
Patspsco and that Gen. Butler had sent from Arnapo
lis, by express train, New-iork regiment, which was
ioned BY regiment of infantry and large body Of
cavalry and artillery from Washington, to reenforce
Col Jones. This intelligence is 10 confirmation Of the
whispered expectations Of the rebels this morning, and
If true, will be apt to lead to serious complications in
the city for it may deliver us over to the tender mer-
ces of the Gentlemen rebels mob again, and Marshal
Kanes sympathetic police. All this, whether true or
not should teach the Government tLat not q moment
should be lost in garrisoDng Baltimore, and placing it
under loyal municipal authority 1t is the northern
key of Washington, and from it the power to clear the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad could issue without ap-
prebeasion Of the result.
