horses for ths rebel artillery and cavalry.
To night Mcclellan was placed in COM
mand of the Potomac and Virginia, and
the whole army was ordered to be provi-

Wheeden's battery silenced rebel battery
which had been amusing itself by throwing
shells into our camp at Munson's Hill, only
eight miles from Washington.
Mcclellan is placing new regiments in
old bridges. Fredericksburg is occupied by
rebel infantry and Cavalry. Washington
dispatches to the Herald, dated midnight,
Saturday, says it is known the rebels are in
the neighborhood of Frederick in force
They captured nothing, as the rolling stock
oft he railroad had been sent away. The
bridge across the Monocacy is not injured,
but trains are not allowed to 60 within 8
miles of Frederick Junction. Our military
authorities are confident this raid will cost
the enemy exactly the number of troops
who hate crossed.
The Mercury has a dispatch dated one
o'clock A. NJ, Sunday, stating that there is
tremendous excitement in Washington on
account of the rebels crossing into Mary yland
but it is not believed they can hold their

At two o'clock on Saturday the rebels
successfully renewed the attempt and cross

marched to Poolsville, and then Darnes-
town. The operator at the latter place
successfully escaped and cut the wires Of
the military telegraph. Fearing there was
a Union force in the vicinity the rebels
