not been reported by telegraph, although the
most serious consequences are involved. 1t
states tL4t on Afonday right hast q force Of
about four hundred picked men left the city
for the Belay House on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rai4roae, for the purpose Of seizing and
holding that Important strategic point. They
were followed at late hour by q force of
about 200 men, having with them four field
pieces, and an abundance Of ammunition.
Il is the intention Of the military authori-
ties TO concentrate there about l 200 men in
few hours The object of that seizure is to
cut off the communication of the PcnnsyEa-
mans with Washington by this route.
This position includes the Yinduct or high
