ter's Account of what hc Saw and
Heard.
On arriving at Ellicott's Mills, We met
persons of Union sentiments, who had left
Frederick that morning, and from them we
learned that in consequence Of the rebels
approaching that place, and fearing that
they would b. prosecuted tor their Union
sentiments, they left the town They did
not stop long enough to learn the number
of the rebels, OK who they were command
ed by, aud, therefore, were unable to give
US any definite intelligence.
During the conversation, several of the
citizens, upon hearing of the occupation OF
Frederick, could not help throwing Fly
wiuks TO each other, aud Immediately con-
gregatsd in small groups, where they con-
graduated each other over again, and
dUubt made appointments where they could
hold secret conciave, and make ample
preparations to receive the rebels in a pro-
per manner, if they made their appearance.

train determined to advance farther, but
orders were given to slackcn the speed of
the locomotive and run in a cautious man
ner keeping a continal lockout to see what
i
we went, stopping at every little station
and nnxiously inquiring in relation to the
train of the reports which had been
freely circn!Uted. No one could tell us
anything, except thaI they had heard that

marched upon and taken possession of
Frederick.

they had been guarding the bridge over
the MonOcacC near Frederick Junction, but
on learning that the rebels were deter
mined to cross at that point, and seeing
they could not stay in that position, where
they could not expect to rcpel n heavy

ladies and children, and few gentlemen,
who lived in Frederick, who were anxious
to return to their homes, AT their earnest
solicitation the conductor was prevailed on
to move as far as Monrovia, IL miles by
rail from Frederick city. On arriving ut
the latter place the passengers were taken
off, the baggage removed, the locomotive
turned aud the train moved off.

at this point the accommodations for
gathering news were found to be better
than at any point along the railroad, so
that we determined to stay and run our

obtaining news.
