BALTIMORE, Sept 26-The correspondent of

Oath SAYS:
Our troops are learning some of the tactics Of
the enemy, and some OF the rebels were driven
over the Potomac at this point They have kept
them awake with dashes and reconnoissances
across the river.
Colonel Warren. commanding a brigade nj
this point. sent over a company of the 9th New
York recently who brought back i've brass
pieces.
The rebel pickets continue to fall back as our
men advance.
Yesterday afternoon, the cd PENNSYLVANIA,
Colonel Switzer. with section of the lst New

river at Reynolds Ford below Shepardstowa,
and brought over 400 rides, mostly marked Len
don. 1862. and one fine twelve FOUNDER. rified
piece, of English manufacture The affair was
accomplished rapidly and with entire success
The rebel pickets fell back as our men advanced,
not even shot being fired.
1t appears TO be we'll ascertsined that the bulk
of the rebel army remains along the other bank
OF the Potomac
All our reconnaissance find the enemy in
strong force, and the smoke OF their camp fires
be opposite all fords A. il Is part of rebel
tactics TO show the most activity where they have
the least force. these manifestations are rot
altogether To he trusted.
1t must be difficult to feed an army so large as
that of the rebels at point far from railroad
communication and il Is probable that large
pat OF their force has fallen back as far as Win
chester
Three or four hundred wounded prisoners were
yesterday paroed and sent across the river under
"A flag of truce.
They also agreed 10 the suspension of picket
firing, and the pickets of both armies walk along
on the opposite banks of tie river without fear
or molestation.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 21-1he court martial for
the trial of General Mckinstry met according TO
adjournment and the members were sworn IN.
Judge Advocate announced that General Harvey
had been relieved OF his commission and Colonel
Barnville Allen appointed in his place The
Commission decided to allow the proceedings re-
ported in the newspapers, after which charges
and specifications against McKinstry were read.
There is but one charge, that of neglect and VIC
lation of duty.
The specifications are over fifty in number,
and are to the effect that McKinstry purchased
mules, horses and army supplies from certain
contractors at exorbitant prices, and that parties
offered to furnish him supplies at fair
market value; that he refused TO receive them,
compelling said parties 10 sell their supplies To
contractors at market value; that Mckinstry
then purchased said articles from contractors at
exOrbitant rates.
After reading the specifications McKinstry
stated that he wanted witnesses summoned in his
behalf, among others Fremont. to show that as
far the specifications were concerned he acted
under orders.
