FROM THE NINTH REGIMENT.
CAMP AT BuENA VISTA, Near


Harpers Ferry, Sept. 4th 1862.
Mr.. ED1roR.-All is not SO quiet in the
Shenandoah Valley. Tuesday afternoon
after the boys had got at work as usual,
they we're ordered in with their tools
which were all thrown in piles with boards
and planks filed in, SO that they would
burn nicely. The boys were dismissed
and went to their quarters. We all knew
something was up but what we could not
ascertain. After dark all was confusion,
we were ordered to strike tents, and pack
our baggage. What few wagons we had
were loaded. The extra guns, knapsacks,
equipments, tents and baggage, that could
not he carried were in pile ready to set
fire to. The large guns at the forts were
spiked aud dismounted, the rods placed
where they would burn. At 10 o'clock
P. M. the skedaddle commenced. The
whole brigade were put in motion on the
road toward this place. Every thing was
started in good order and every wagon
available was loaded with something.
After We had got out about two or three
miles the match was applied to all the
material and commissary stores belonging
to government that would burn, and such
a confagration was never seen by many
of the boys before
The match was applied to the Magazine,
and when it blew up, it was the most
splendid sight we ever saw, the moon had
set and the night was dark, SO when the
explosion took place it lighted up the
horizon for miles around. The report al
though dull one, could be heard for
miles around, the ground shook as though
there was an earthquake, and all the fort
which our boys had labored 50 long and
hard to complete, was blown to pieces at
one explosion. The distance from Win
chester to this place is nearly So miles,
we marched it without resting more than
one hour at time, and that only three
or four times. The men carried theil
knapsacks part of the way, when they be.
gan to throw them away, the road was
strcwn with knapsacks, blankets and over
coats, all the way. We arrived here al
6 o'clock P. NJ, Wednesday evening, wei
used up. The boys have not pitched theil
tents yet, prefering to lie out doors rather
than pitch their tents last night. VIVA
all this skedaddle has been for we do no
at present know. One thing is sure w
should have preferred to stop till W
had seen something to run for. 1t is
very good time to run when one is oblige'
to. Every one in the regiment is indig
nant at the Operations but we have t
obey orders. We are somewhat worn
but still ready to obey orders.
Yours truly HORACE.

The Rebels in Maryland.


II is the popularity of the present mil
itary position that it sees the Union for
ces generally resisting the advance Of the
rebels. At the West the latter are move
ing toward the free States; Maryland Is
invaded and the Merrimac No. 2 is COM
ing down the James river. The hrst
movement is likely to be arrested before
it reaches its elimination on free soil.
The new rebel iron monster, we are assur-
ed, is destined to 60 the way of all her
predecessors, within a very short time.
It's possible that she may try the Poto-
mac waters, in order to cooperate with
Lees threatened attack on Washington.
But we may dismiss these branches of the
general aggressive action of the rebels, in
view of the nearer more important and
more mysterious movements of the enc
my in Maryland.
1t does not yet appear what the main
design of the movement is-whether it is
mere foraging expedition on a large
scale, or fahking march against the
capital, or the beginning of the long-talk-
ed of invasion of the fields and cities of
the North. But few days will show.
We trust, however, that the rebels will be
left but few, very few days, in which
to develop, unrestricted, their audacious
plans If they cherish the reckless prof
ect Of marching upon Washington, they
will have to encounter force which will
render their destruction a perfect certain
ty. Nor less speedily disastrous would be
an attempt against Baltimore, involving
the probable ruin of that city also. But
if they design marching into lower Penn
sylvania, to Chambersburg, or as far as
Harrisburg. then it may be some time be.
fore decisive battle can take place, il
the rebels. should choose to delay it.
We had, few days ago, 10000 mer
stationed at Harper's Ferry. There is
danger that these may be cut off by the
rebels, who crossed in force some distance
below, and advanced in their rcar-unless
they may have been seasonably warned
: and ordered away by the government, Of
which fact we know nothing. 1t is OBJ.

The New Situation,

The present week opens with a new cast
on the field of warlike operations, both at
the East and the West The situation is
attended with extreme interest, but we
can do little more now than to glance at
it.
The rebel invasion of Maryland is
settled fact. twas accomplished without
any material resistance On the part of the
Union forces. The line of the upper Po-
tomac is so extended, and the rebels could
SO easily learn in advance the position of
our troops, that it was probably inadvisa-
bic to attempt to guard the river. Our
forces will doubtless be brought to bear
against the enemy when the latter get
upon the real object of their invasion.
The ostentatious boasting of Lee-which
is not exactly like bim-about the cap
ture of Washington, would seem to indi-
cate that his designs tend in another di-
rection, and therefore he hopes to induce
Gen. Mcclellan to retain the bulk of our
troops about the capital. But whether
Baltimore or Harrisonburg is Lees antic-
ipatcd goal, does not yet appear. He will
assuredly reach neither He has taken
his fatal one step too much.
At the West there is a steady northern
advance of the rebel forces. which must
soon eliminate in another invasion of the
free States, or general success of the
Union arms, renewing at all points our
possession of the rebel territory gained
last spring. The people of CINCINNATI
are warned of the approach of $4,000 reb-
els, within fifty miles of the city, on the
Kentucky Central road, and of another
large force within thirty miles in anoth-
err direction. There is no Geographic
communication south of Louisville, and
!
the evacuation of Nashville has been or.
dered. But the fate of this general rebel
movement does not more depend upon
what may happen in front than in the
rear lines, where Buel commands. His
forces are reported to have severely repuls
ed the rebels at Stevenson, Is miles from
Nashville, and he is taking active meas
ures against Bragg's contemplated raic
upon the latter place. Those conversant
with his movements predict sure anG
