the rebels yesterday at the Point Of Rocks Is

points on the opposite shore. Considerable DO

There is great excitement here in consequence
Of the report Of the occupation Of Frederick,

prise, mingled with indignation and alarm. There

Nearly all rebels have apparently been withdrawn
from the front. No great force remains.
Federal forces are said to have fallen back from
Frederick to Harper's Ferry on Thursday night
