Late and Hopeful Intellig6nee ErOuii
the Army OF Virginia.
lFrJni the Wednesday etehaE sdition q thu Balti-
| more American.
We have some later inteIligence This
morning from the rebel lines which indi-
cate shat sYheteger may have been the pgr-
poses and intentions of the rebel chiefs in
crossing the Potomac and seizing Frede-
rick that they are nov, closely hugging the
POtsmac, and with the exception Of caVal-
~ demonstrations aud picket guards, their
whole army is massed between Frederick
and the river. ztfk s.l
General Mcclellan here c0nfronts them
with a large army, his line extending from
the Potomac 70 y point considerable north
OF the Baltimore road, and protecting even
Westminster and other portions OF Carroll
county from the cavalry raids of the enc
my. He has 80 thoroughly encOmpassed
them that they must aithef cross the river
again or meet him in deadly conflict on
the banks ofthe Potomac
The great body of the enemy is massed
near New Market, on the Baltimore road, ,
and at Urbana, on. the Georgetown road,
tue latter under General Lee, AID the for-
mer under General Jackson. They have
not even sent their cavalry scouts as far
North as Emmettsburg or as Ear;West as
Hagerstown, the rumors to the contrary
having all proved unfOHnded, growing ont
of the panic oceasiOned among the rural
population along the lines of the invasion.
To have accomplished Anything either in
the direction of Baltimore or Washington
this movement of tie enemy must neces-
sarily have been rapid one. The i've
days that have elapsed since they entered
Frederick, and the retiring of their lines
eight or ten miles from Washington, with
in that time, may be regarded as an abau-
! donment Of such n purpose.
They are now evidently endeavoring to
draw General Mcclellan as far as possible
from Washington in pursuit of them, so as
to cross with the army in readiness on the
other side, between him and Washington,
and thus get in his rear. The plan of the
rebels was doubtless framed with the ex-
peetation that Gen. Pope would be 10 COM
mand, but of course Gen. Mcclellan can
not be caught in any such a trap.
As to the number of the enemy on this
side of the river there is good reason to be-
lieye that il does not exceed thirty thous-
and men, and if we should have food on
the Potomac they would very likely be in
a bad way.
Our forces still hold Martinsburg aud
the Maryland Heights, which indicates
that no large army has attempted to cross
the Potomac above the Point of Rocks.
THE BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILROAD.
So far as ascerlained do damage has
been done by the rebels to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, even within their pres
ent lines. The MOnocacy bridge is said
10 be standing, as well as other bridges
and culverts in the vicinity. On the upper
line of the road from Harper's Ferry the
military trains are said to be running.

AFTERNOON DISPATCHES.
Proclamation of General Lee to the
PEOPLE of Maryland.

BALTIMORE, Sept. ll.-on occupying tn,
town of Frederick Gen. Lee issued the fol,
lowing proclamation: tFr
HEaDoUARTERs OF THE AMY OF NORTH l
VIRGINIA tNRAR PREDERIcK, Sept 8. !
1O.ths People Of Maryland: e y 4
1t is right that you should know the pur.
pose that has brought the army under my
command within the limits of your State
So far as that purpose concerns your slaves,
the people of the Confederate States have
long watched with the deepest sympathy
the wrongs and outrages that have been in
fiicted upon the citizens of a Common
wealth allied to the States Of the South by
the strongest social political and CONNER
cial ties. t&l " Hft
They have seen with profound indigna.
ton their sister States deprived OF every
right, and reduced to the condition of q
conquered province, under pretence Of sup
porting the Constitution but in violation
of its most valuable provisions.
Your citizens have been arrested an inn
prisoned upon no charge, and contrary to
all forms of law. A faithful and manly
protest against this outrage, made by a
venerable and illustrious Marylsnder, to
whom in better days no citizen appealed
for right in vain, was treated with scorn
ana contempt.
The government of your chief city has
been usurped by armed strangers. Your
legislature has been dissolved by the un.
lawful arrest of its members. Freedom OF
the press and of speech have been declared
offences by an arbitrary decree of the Fed
eral Executive, and citizens ordered to be
tried by military commission for what
they may dare to speak.
Believing that the people of Maryland
possesses to lofty spirit to submit to such
Government, the people of the South
have long wished to aid you in throwing
off this foreign yoke, to enable you again
to enjoy the inalienable rights of freemen,
and restore independence and sovereignty
to your State, In obedience to this wish
our army has come among you and is pre-.
pared to assist you with the power of its
arms in regaining the rights Of which you
have been despoiled. u
This, citizens of Maryland, is our mission.
So far as you are concerned NO restraint
upon your free will is intended, no intim-
idation will be allowed within the limits
of this army. At last Marylanders shall
ever enjoy their ancient freedom of thought
and speech,
We know no enemies among you, and
will protect all of every opinion. 1t is for
you to decide Jour- destiny freely and with
out restraint. This army will respect your
choice whatever it may be; and while the
Southern people will rejoice to welcome
you to your natural position among them,
they will only welcome you when you come
OF your own free will.

He5srs. Editors: st
see by yesterday issue of your yalua-
BILE paper, an article upon the surrender of
the Federal forces at Spencer, Va, by Col.
Rathbone. The article does me gross in
justice, and your informant has not given
the facts of the case at all when speaking
OF my not deciding in favor of a fight. My
decision was as plain as the nose on your
informant's face. remarked distinctly,
al am in for fighting them; but let us un.
derstand one another before going, into it,"
This, sir, was my remark, and IL that were
deciding against fight. then am guilty
of the charge made against me. @1a =
AS for Col. Rathbone, he at first decided
to fight them, and wrote a reply saying, 81
respectfully decline surrendering;" but the
reply was not sent. After leaving the office,
Col. Rathbone was requested toiride out
and see the force, and he in his turn re-
quested me to go. | did so, and returned
to him and made my report. Then the
Colonel decided to surrender, himself
AS your informant truly states, -ths men
were all eager and ready for fight, and
like myself did not know, the Colonel was
about TO surrenderuntil he had decided to
do SO. cannot help but admit that it was
bad piece of business, to make the best
of 1t. But Colonel Rathbone did what he
honestly thought at the time was the best
thing he could do. The Colonel really did
send the messengers so stated aud tho or
ders were not countermanded. BE- i5l ~
Again, in regard to my not deciding in
favor of fight, your informant either did
not hear my decision, or, actuated by the
devil or some of his imps, fabricated the
assertion himself yea
have the honor to be sir,

general fear has been expressed that this

find itself entirely iceless. Upon the very
day, however, before the stock would have
been entirely exhausted, large quantity
reaches the city from Cleveland. Owing to
the necessary waste oecasioued by the hot

ing the ice, it will cost, when delivered to
citizens, two and a half cents per pound
Heretofore the luxury cost only three

has almost become necessity, many of our
consumers would be willing to pay much
higher price.
