To-day matters here are assuming a
more warlike appearance. Corps Of Cen
erals Banks and Sumner passed through
here last week without creating much ex-
citement.
This morning, the Commanding General
himself, accompanied by his staff, galloped
up to the principal hotel in the village, and
made enquiries which led to the sTpposi-
ton that movements Of great importance
we're on the tapis.
Following General Mcclellan came cav
airy, artillery and infantry, in great num-
bers, and they are still coming. The
whole army of the Peninsula seems to be
on the march in this direction. Ifreports
this morning are true we shall need it all
in this vicinity.
Jackson is said to have established his
headquarters at Frederick, twenty-eight
miles distant. Hill is reported at Pooles-
Vile. The whole rebel army is said to be
marching on Harrisburg.
MeClellan's presence leads many TO sup
pose he is to assume offensive action and
attack the enemy in the rear. Our army
has been drawn up in line-of-baltle for
the past three days, about three miles from
this place. 1t covers the roads to Pcoles-
vile and to Frederick, and when McCIeI-
Inn is ready a column will probably move
down both of these roads and assume the
offensive.
About Z o'clock last night Monday
two companies of the 4th Regular Cavalry,
B and f, were out reeonnoitering, when
they surprised or thought they did some
ZOO or 800 of the enemy near a piece of
woods in the vicinity of Poolesville. They
Immediately charged them, but from all
around rose up infantry and cavalry to the
number of 1900. Our men we're almost
upon them. Before they could check their
horses, two field pieces were drawn out of
the woods and several rounds fired Our
men falling back retreated to their re-
serves. The enemy declined following
Seven were wounded on our side, three or
four mortally.
hear this morning the enemy have
taken possession Of some of the most i'm
pOrtant points on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
The Tribune says, editorially, the latest
public intelligence is that the army is con-
centrating at Rockville, but from private
information we learn that disposition of
the forces is made with reference to further
movements.
Senator Lane, and other prominent In
dianians, who were here few days ago on
a mission from Governor Morton, have re-
turned with " no" for an answer Cover
nor Morton desired authority to arm and
uniform the new regiments from his State,
by making requisitions directly instead of
through the General Government, and to
select the Generals to lead them.
The Baltimore American, of yesterday,
says:
Intelligence we give this morning indi-
Gates the admission of the rebel army had
taken q western route towards Hagers-
town. When the enemy moves from Fred
erick towards Hagerstown he is virtually
/ turning his back on Baltimore and Wash
ington, and moving to a point where he
can reach the Potomac at Williamsport by
a march of but seven miles. While his in
fantry has partly moved west, his cavalry
is securing towards the borders of York
! county, Pennsylvania.
! Statements received from the correspond
/ ents of New York papers, as to the force
the rebels have crossed into Maryland, en-
tirely disagree with accounts that have
been received here from fugitives from
Frederick county. No one who has arriv-
ed here speak of having seen more than
$4,000.
