General Wool yesterday, with portion Of
his staff, made a reconnaissance out tt'e 5ll9
Frederick road, with the view Of !ectlng po-
sitions for the establishment OF works Tor the
defence Of the city if they shouli be necessary
We learn that some OF the Len at FREDERICK
presented Confederate scr p in payment tor
goods thew had purchased The storekeepers,
Of course. did not dare to refuse them, fearing
that Their whole stocks would be seized.
We hear 1rumors that some of the Secesslon-
lists Of Frederick on Saturday evening, were
pointing Ont to the Confederate soldiers the
houses Of leading Unionlsts though up to latest
accounts none Of them had been moested. lt
was said that johnson had given assurances
that no private property shoud be toucneu.
The houses Of most OF the promlnent On!onlStS
were closed I'D. and they 9nd their famlhes ab-
sent, Tt is said. though we cannot vouch Tor
the fact that the house Of General Cooper was
taken possession of On Saturday night TOR the
Headquarters Of General jackson.
We also have a rumor thata party OF Con-
federates on Saturday crossed the Potomac
near Hancock. destroyed number OF canal
boats. cut the canal bank, and blew up canal
culvert.
There was also rumor in town last night
that Confederate picket guard OF cavalry had
appeared near Westminster, in Carroll county.
The gentleman who brought the information
spoke positively, but it being twenty-eight
miles from Frederick, they could hardly have
got to that distance.
MILITARY AFFAIRS At WAsHINGToN.-The
National Intellige.ccr of this morning says
"A number of troops have been dispatched
from this city towards Frederick in order to
meet the enemy They were followed by Ma
jor General Mcclellan; who left here last even
ing at half-past six clock, for the same
neighborhood.
It is understood that he has, with the ap-
proval Of the President, placed Major General
Banks in command Of the forces retained IN
this vicinity for the defence Of this city. The
jullicousne5s of this appointment will be ap
precatcd not only by the people of y ashlngton
but by the country at large. Gen. Banks has
been suffering recently from an injury received
in action, but happily is now conyalescent:
It having become public that General Pope
had preferred charges against Generals Frank
lin, Iitz John Porter, HeintIeman, and per
Eaps some others, aud that those officers had
been placed under arrest preliminary to their
trial, we think it proper to state that, although
charges have been preferred against them,
they have not been arrested, but are still on
duty in the field. "

lumbus being the point of rendezvous. Major
General McClernand is now there, giving his per-
sona superintendent to the armament and equip.
ment Of the forces, and taking all the Deces AIRY
steps 10 the success Of the expedition. His
corps d'armee will consist entirely of Western and

mand of Gen. Granger.
The cavalry and artillery force will be annie
for any emergency. In addition to this force the
gunbOat fleet under Commodore Porter will co
operate with the expedition. The feet Of Com

The first great obstacle for the expedition TO
overcome will be the formidable Notifications at
Vicksburg. But when il is remarked that Com
modore Farragut, with his feet of gunboats and
mortar boats. is below these works, and can
easily cooperate with the fleet from above. it will
be seen what an Overpowerng force will be

The attack upon Vicksburg last summer
failed for want OF a cooperating land force on
our part. Netherlands expedition will obviate
this want in the future, and when Vicksburg
is again attacked, il will be taken by storm by
McClernsnd's troops. Vieksburg captured

lar correspondents the day before it appeared in
