HCLELLAS.
Frcn the Richmond Enquirer, Sept. Is -
A gentleman reached this city last evening. from
Baltimore, which city he left on Saturday last he
reports that the statement was current that Gen.
Mcclellan had been shot, and that Professor ~ r
Smith, Of Baltimore, had been sent for TO visit him
and on refusing, was imprisoned. OF the fact of
Professor Smiths imprisonment, there was no
doubt, though the alleged reason was simply rumor.
The number Of troops around Baltimore does not
exceed seven to eight thousand. They are stationed
part at Fort 1eHenry, psrt at Federal Hill part at
Canton, and part at the Relay and s1me at Franklin
Square.
The troops who came through from the North
are in squads Of twenty to thirty for the purpose
OF filing up companies, etc. The whole number
per week is not more than few hundred
The people of Maryland, our informant declares
ask only for Beauregard and Johnston, to protec
them from the forces around Washington. Let
them cress the Potomac so as to prevent Mcclellan
from throwing himself upon Baltimore, and the
Marylanders will do the rest -
The war feeling at the North Is said to have yen
era!iy suoslded. Commerce is Frustrated and
business at an end In Pennsylvania, particularIv
the struggle between the war and the peace nartiss
is very excited.

Of the invader?
The news from the South, he SAYS. ia conveyed
over the river near Washington, BY the wives of
the tories who have fled from Virginia and are act
ing as Iincoln's police on the Maryland shore
These women are strangely allowed 70 communicate
with their husbands and thus post them with the
Southern news.
