BALTIMORE, July 12.~-We learn by
passengers who arrived last evening in
the cars, over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, shat Major Gen. Patterson was
believed to be moving his forces from
Martinsburg towards Winchester. The
distance between the two places is about
25 miles.
Gen Johnston had moved his army
from Banker Hill, and yesterday morning
he was within three miles of Winchester,
where he intended to unite with Gen.
Jackson. The two, it was supposed,
would have under their joint command
about $1,000 troops, including two squads
of artillery, Of 600 men each, three COM
panies mounted riaemen, and thirty pieces
of artillery
General Patterson had, some four days
ago, about 10000 men, including four
companies of U, S. cavalry and the Phil
adelphia City Troop. This force, how
ever, is exclusive of Gen. Sanford's CON-
mand, which would make his entire
strength about $4,000 men. The troops
under Gen. Sandford, it was reported,
reached Martinsburg On Wednesday eve.

A portion of the New Hampshire reg

troops at Harper's Ferry.
The lst Maryland regiment had reached
Hagerstown, and were to encamp last
night at St. James College, near that town.
The rumor that x-Gov. Wise has been
captured is repeated, but we find no
such confederation as would induce be-
lief. Wise will not be easily caught !;
he has a pair Of Virginia legs.
