TaR news from the Potomac at this wri-

We have good news from Gen. Roseerans.
He seemsto have suddenly commenced a

of the news, however, leaves us without
any dc6niteyides of his line of action for

ing their faEorite chant of Is Maryland, my
Maryland hereafter. Maryland has told
them decidedly that she does not recognize
any such relationship. Aud this is one of
the most gratifying results Of the present
campaign: The rebels really thought tia.
there would be grand uprising when they
entered hat State; that thousands OF re-

that in the general commotiou it would be
an easy thing to take Baltimore and Wash

shoes nicked, ont of their own friends by
the trick Of worthless confederate notes.
Bat thsgteat aud cheering fact is that the
loyalty of Maryland has stood firm and in
corruptiSle in the presence of great re-
bel army, apparently strong enoughto take
and, hold the State If its own inhabitants
hadidesired it. The adhesion of Maryland
TO the Union is now as well assured as is
that OF Pennsylvania. Aud it is of iuesI-
eulRble value to the national cause to have
this settled beyond further doubt. We
may be certain that the rebel leaders will
feel their rebuff BY Maryland to be quite as
severe blow as the defeat of their grand
