IN my letter Of yesterday cndeasored TO give yoor
readers insight into the state Of Affairs in this G.
sion At that time had idea that the rebels were in
much force nearer than tho city Of Frederick, Nd Ny
mind has been disabused Of any idea, formerly held,
regarding the disparity Of the rsbc forcc in Maryland,
and the column OF the rebel army probably within
che Northern States proper.
Today learned from civilian just from the neghbcf-
hood Of Frederick tha, the rebels in full force in
the vicinity. They placed bars TO tho free egress or
ipsss Of civilians but kept strict picket 70 guard
aeainst surprise from our forces.
Our forces moved few miles from this place to day
and the OF the FIRST the hills
ing the chain Of mountains which called the Rlue
Ridge Mountains. detachment Of cavalry were in ad-
vance Thoy advanced near 10 Hyatstewn, where they
we're saluted by the rebels in position on the heights
surrounding with musketry, and also with she'll from
neghboring battery one OF the crssts surrounding
In obedience to ORDERS they fell back in good order with

This morApg, after troops occupied tho positions
assigned ,hem one Of the divisions received few
plimens from the enemy n the way Of apherical Gaze
shot, instrument, by the way they became used 10
lodging on the peninsula.
Il is useless to inform the reading public Of the pro
bable intentions Of the rebels that they are known
70 be really In such strong in Marylnndas to de
nand vgant efforts or large force 10 check
their onward and desperate movement 10 say that
they contemplate raid merely this or that place
mere nonsense They stand the mountain heights and
passes near Frederick, and challenge army to com
bat making their raids private and civil property
subordinate to the grand aim Of getting force into
disgraccful flight.
II is also idle make guess the number Of the
have TO sngage-perhas to perhaps in
week hence That their name is legion is proved by
tho fact that they keep larger army of Union troops
in check than lay before the CITY Of Richmond.
As write everything quiet. Nothing ontwardiy be-
tokens coming storm Of war; 10 il indeed possible
for our side 70 preciptate contest.
Not doubt ought TO be entertained by the people but
that General Mcclellan, who Is present and has direction
OF all Of our movements will eectualy deal death blow
10 the enemy Maryland whether he may choose this OF
other places ~ his battle nelds
We arc now on the scent and trail Of the enemy, and
wiz follow him whithersosvsr his path may lead.
II tho enemy holds the position present oesupied by
him, sanguinary battle may be expected, as the ap
pashes arc difncut Unless ho is IN force larger than
The most sangulne Maryland would give him.
our triumph assured are stronger, numerically,
than most OF the people suppose.
Indeed the march Of such army VIC have gahsses
beresbouts In such short space Or timc and at such
short notice, seems almost prestidisa'curs work.
