BILE:
THE REBEL MOVEMENTS.
The enemy commenced moving their troops 10 the
west OF Frederick before daylight on Wednesday
morning. and they continued-cayalry, infantry and
artiiery--to move on throughout Wednesday, with
some cessation during the night, and the man portion
OF the rear guard Left during Thursday. Those who
watched these movements contend that the whole
force old not exceed 200 men. Their entire wagon
train did not exceed 800 teams.
On Thursday afternoon fire Rebel Provost Guard
was called in, and the valiant Bradley johnson,
taking command Of them, moved off toward Hagers-
town. A division of Stuart's cavalry, under his
command, accompanied by Col. Hampton remained
in possession Of the town until Friday afternoon.
A sKIRMIsH IN THE STREETS.
Ab0nt o'clock IN the afternoon, the approach Of
the Union advance, consisting Of Gen. Coxs Diyis-
ion of the Army of the Gauley, YVES announced,
when the Rebel cavalry hastily mounted, and pre-
pared for departure.
At 5 o'clock messenger rode up 10 the Rebel
Gen. Stuart, who was with his cavalry near tue
railroad DEPOT and informed him that he heard the
Union column was entering the city by the Balti-
more turnpike. He Immediately sent an order TO
Col. Hampton of the Hampton Legion to attack
the head Of the advancing Union column which was
done directly in the streets Of Frederick The Union
cavalry opened as the enemy approached, and al
lowed the infantry to advance, who fired volley
into the enemy, and then gave way for the artillery
when the enemy turned and fed, carrying off with
them as prisoner Col. Moore OF tire Virginia loya
Cavalry and several others. They were pursued,
and all our prisoners recaptured es well az about
100 Rebels taken prisoners, principally sragglers,
who were sent back by the advancing column.
The scene IN Frederick during this sklrmieh on
the main streets of the most exciting character,
but we do not learn that any OF the citizens were IN

known to be AT Harper's Ferry from the occasional
booming of the I2O-pound battery on the Maryland
