The troops are again beginning to feel like fight

A Rcconmois.nnce in FrOni-Thc Enemy
not in force on Seneca Creek-The
Rebel Force that Passed Through
Frcdericl. not more than $1,000 Strong
From Tie Wa,iingfoa S.tr o. Taesaag

Our friends of The InteligeHcer mistaken in
their announcement of this morning that the enemy
are in force on the west bank OF Seneca Creek from
lie mouth =, miles from NashlDgtonl To poiht .en
miles higher up.
This We know from the fact that yesterday after
neon Gen. Mcclellan advanced cavalry under Col.
Plea anton 10 Poole syilie six miles west OF Seneca
Ccoeal ard caused sufficient reconnaissance 70 be
made floin the Potomac back toward Frederick, 20
ascertain that the enemy Is nowhere ON hs imm.oi-
ate front in force. Last night he occupied tho
country six miles further out than in the morning,
and we believe is to-cay pushing some force further
out.
At2p.m our impression with reference 10 the
movements OF the Rebels much altered: that is.
hearing no confirmation o. the rumors that they
have made their appearance in Pennsylvania, and
learning that estimates their force thai passed
through Frederick OF their way west az over 1900,
and now finding that while they have been hurry
ing troops from the direction of Cenreville up 10
the fors OF the river they lot TO be fouad in any
force on the Maryland side. we are brought TO the
conclusion that those OF them who are in Maryland
came simply to plumber in Frederick and Washing
ton Counties, expecting to escape back into Virginia
via Hancock. -,
If this he true, their hope is that Mcclellan VIII
hasten after their maraldlng force WIN Tue Jun
of his army, thus according 10 the greater part VI
theirs nas.ed in virginia ia the immediate vicinity
of the fords an opportunity OF crossing me rNer III
his rear and making desperate dash upon " a'"ins
ton and its Notifications on the mary M "a. 49,.
OF course. Gen Mcclellan knows his business 700
veil n accommodate them in this matter, and while
looiing atter those who are 'cavorting around in
Frederick and Washington Counties VIII take due
care 10 attend 10 the movements oi euc maui VoNy,
- - ,;rbt and day in building RATS TO facilitate
mem in er5ssng the river If they find il prudent to
venture that enterprise.
Tie f,et that the maraudlng band are said to have
giyen Ilarper's Ferry wide berth ON their march
cst s@nis TO us TO refne the idea that it is very
rom one. and strengthens our belief that their
mans and movements are MS we described above.
Our force at Harpers Felry-now on the Mary
Land Nights opposite-could doubtless mold force
of ID 900 Retels Il, bay long enough to place them
at Gen. McClean's mercy, If they yentured an at,
OF any attack on Harper's Ferry, while we knew
that the Rebels have passed beyond it upon tne
road 10 Uagersi0wn and Hancock.

Rebels here, as everywhere else. are active, couI-
agoous, intelligent, willing to take all risks to save
their cause. The Union men are either indifferent
or timid.
The Rebels pursue without hesitation their policy
os intimidation. on the theory that Maryland prop
erlv belongs to JEFF Daviss dominions, they arrest
and carry of rs traitors the Union citizens, and levy
contributions as upon enemies. They seized a.
Pooesve Dr. Brace Mr. Metzker the Postmaster,
ond other prominent Union men, put them and their
families in confinement, and when they left carried
them over the river. Poolesville is said to have
been occupied yesterday by our cavalry.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, september TO- 1862
We have news from the front up 10 tins morning.
1t is said that fight is expected at Frederick.
One theory, which find believers in Washington,
is that the Rebels intend 10 sweep round through
Western Virginia capturing Wheeling and making
Union men pay the penalty of their loyalty, aud
stealing cattle and other property.
TIE main body of the Rebels is believed 10 be at
Frederick, and its numbers are thought to have
been ascertaned II is also said that preparations
have been made which will the capture OF
the whole force. The contrast between propheses
and performances, heretofore, however, leads Il
cautious man 10 take this statement with grains Of
dstrast
An officer Just arrived from Poolesville states that
early this morning a large party Of Stuarts Rebel
cavalry came down TO Edwardss Ferry, with the
intention of recrossng to the Virginia side; but the
attempt was repulsed by the forces under Gen.
Keyes, who bad occupied the place last night, ana
retreated toward Frederick again, with loss Of
from 80 to 100 of their force taken prisoners.
In the skirmish of Friday at Pooesyille, Of which
we gave an account yesterday, the following are
amonp the casualties which occurred all in the lst
Massachusetts, Cavalry:
Frank J. Western OF Springfield, slightly wounded.
Gusave Evers, badly bruised.
John Finan, wounded in leg.
Fred. FIGHTER, Boston, leg.
Tie three first Were taken prisoners, AMI subso-
9uently released.
Rebel sympatbizers who are usually well in
formed as TO the designs Of the enemy have bad
revelation within week They say that when
Gems Lee and jackson enter the National Capital in
triumph they will hoist the Stars and Stripes and
proclaim JEFF Davis President Of the United States,
counting they allese, upon the active support of
the Democratic party North, which with the united
South will put down the Abolitionsts and Insure
the fufllment Of their desires. We hear this
through several channels, and give il for what it is
worth.
Thirteen scouts made circuit Of many miles in
front Of lines yesterday, staring at tie left wing
and returning to the right wing. They captured in
the course Of their expedition less tlan twenty
Rebels, ard assured themselves that there Wa no
considerable Rebel force, except in the vicinity Of
Drainesvle.
