There is no Information of any present move
ment Of our troops in Maryland. The rebels are
still in force OF the Virginia side Of the Upper Po
tomac. opposite Williamsport and Falling Waters.
at which latter place General Lee has his head.
quarters. They are said to be destroying the Bal.
ttmore and Ohio Railroad between Harper's Fer
ryand Cumberland and have already demolished
some OF the most important bridges west of Mar
tinsburg. the bridge over he Black river included.

Another meeting Of the Governors Of the North.

will be presented to-day. II was signed by Co.
vernon Curtin, Governor Pierpoint and Governor
Tod with great reluctance In referring TO re-
serves it urges the organization of reserve force
Of one hundred thousand men.
We give some highly interesting extracts to-day
from the rebel journals relative to the late battles
In Maryland. The Richmond Enquirer claims the
battle OF Antetam as great rebel victory. II was
directed by General Lee in person with so 900 men
IN his command. The rebel account makes our
force 10000 General jackson commanded the
left Of the rebel line, General Hill the right. and
General Longstreet the centre. II Is admitted
that our artillery used with fearf, effect. and
that upon the whole tie battle was the mos. sc.
we're of the entire campaign. Two rebel Gene
rails we're kiled-stark, OF Mississippi, and Branch
Of North Carolina-ani six others were wounded.
The Petersburg Era~ess makes the significant
admission that all hopes Of Maryland unit.
Ing her des,iries with the South must now be
banshed. The experiment to rouse her people to
follow the fortunes of the rebel army is proclaimed
to have been dead failure, and the devoted ad-
hsrence Of the State government, the press, and
the majority Of the people to the federal govern.
znsnt is acknowledged by the Express "The
victories At Boonosboro and Sharpsbu,g" II de.
olares to be Improbable to the rebel cause. The
same journal advocates ar the next move of the
rebel army the destruction Of tie Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad and an attack on Pierpoint Our
will be seen. 60 TO show that they are occupied
in this business now.
