A State messenger has sent intelligence
amounting in substance to the following:
He reached a position on the mountains
above Frederick, and by means Of glass
saw all that was going on in the town. He
says there was evidently movement Of
troops in the direction of Middletown and
Booneboro, going on. Farmers informed
him that forward movement began about
three o'clock this morning supposed to be
about 10000 strong.
He saw three regiments of infantry, one
Of cavalry, eighteen cannon, and large
number of wagons at Boonesboro. The
soldiers looked ragged, shoeless and hat
less. .
A mail carrior captured, says that great
numbers threw themselves down in the
middle Of the road, attacked by bilious col
ic, caused by eating green corn.
skirmish occurred between the Michi-
gan and Virginia Cavalry leading the reb-
el advance, at BoonsbOro. They say Jack
son leads the column.
The rebel pickets were within a mile
and half of Hagerstown at o'clock this
evening. The main body appears to be 60
ing between BOonsborough and Sharps-
burg, eight miles from Hagerstown. The
rebels uniformly told the farmers that
Jackson leads the army, and the Cumber-
land valley is their destination. All man
ner of rumors are in circulation here with
regard to a great battle having been fought.

BALTIMORE, Monday, Sept. 8. 1862.
I have the following particulars of one
of the most gallant engagements Of the war
so far as our troops were concerned, from
an officer of of Capt Flusser's feet, whe
has brought dispatches to Washington from
his commanding officer
Fourteen hundred Rebels marched to-
ward Plymouth, N. c., on Tuesday last,
intending to enter the town and lay it in
ashes. A native Carolinian, knowing the
intention of the Rebels, came quickly to
town and reported the matter to Capt. W.
Fl. Hammell of Hawkins's Zouaves No
time was to be lost. To defend the town
there was one company (F) of Hawkinss
ZOuaves, one company Of regularly enlist
cd loyal North Carolinians, with such other
loyal fighting civilians as the town could
furnish. All hands were quickly at their
post. Half of the Zouaves were sick with
the fever which prevails there at this sea-
son of the year, and all Of the commission
ed officers were sick, except Lieut.. Green
of the Zouaves who was disabled by
wound received in q former engagement
up the Roanoke River. The command of
about 800 men deYolved upon Orderly Ser
geant Green, of Company F, ofthe Zouaves.
At the approach Of so vast force some
generals would say, Surrender but this
was not the Sergeants motto. He took his
brave men, went out on Tuesday, the I'd
inst, and met the enemy three miles from
the town.
The enemy consisted of infantry and
cavalry: the former under Col. Garrett
(who in fact was in command of the whole
fOrce), and the latter in command of Capt.
Pagan. When Sergeant Green came upon
the enemy he found them bivouacked in
the woods, intending not to attack before
the next day. A rebel intended giving
the alarm of the approach Of our forces by
firing his piece, but it missed fire. Our
boys took this as a signal of alarm, and
they dashed up9pfhem with great earnest
ness, fighting the whole force for an hour
Sergeant Green conducting himself in the
most gallant manner. In the short space
Of an hour we whipped force of fourteen
/ hundred, captured Col Garrett, their com
mander, lieutenant and forty prisoners
together with many of the cavalry horses
The rebels lost thirty killed, with the or,
binary proportion of wounded. When thr
enemy broke and fed, the loyal North Car
olinians were fast and fierce in the pursui
Of their rebel neighbors. The chase wa
given up only when the enemy was com
pletely put to flight.

sigeI, Banks and burnside.

It's no small satisfaction to find among
the generals who have lost US the battles
and campaign in Virginia, that there are
some to whom to whom no blame can attach.
They have done their whole duty, bravely,
nobly and manfully. Among these Sigel,
Banks and Burnside, are worthy of all
commendation and most hearty applause.
They are recognized as men who have not
committed blunders, though they are not
Of West Point. A correspondent writing
from Washington, gives the following ac-
count of the high position they occupy in
the public mind. The writer says;
aThe people here are very enthusiastic
over Sigel and Banks, whenever they ap-
pear on the streets or at the hotels. At
noon to-day, these two Generals were ut a
room at Willards, looking over a map Of
Virginia. General Sigel came out shortly,
and mounted his horse and rode away on
a gallop. As he came from the private
room into the hall Of the hotel, the crowd
set up cry Of sSigel There goes Sigelp
And by the time he had reached the side
walk, a large crowd was around him hur-
rahing excitedly. 1t is noticeable that
when q great favorite Of the public appears
the prefix Of General is never applied
ohim. The people cry of 'SigelP Banks .
and BurnsideF and say nothing as II
their rank. General Sigel is looking very
thin, but in good health. he and Genera
Bsnks have plenty to do just now"
