ls'i'l !Ilii Times Special
We have passed very exciting day in Wash
ington. The intelligence received last evening
70 the effect that Gen. Banks had fallen back
from Strasburgh to Winchester, was understood
20 indicate rather precautionary measure on
bis part than tho result of any immediate move
ment of the enemy. The tidings Of this morn
| ing the occupation Of Winchester by Jackson;
| the withdrawal Of Banks, after an engagement
Of six hours, in the direction of Martinsburg
and Harpefs Ferry, placed matters in new
light, and aroused serious spprehensions, not
only for the safety of bis little command, but
for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the city of
Baltimore, and even the Capitol.
Later in the day, the reports ofthe rioting in
Baltimore and of the route Of the entire force
Of Banks, by the quick march and overwhelm-
ing numbers Of Jackson, greatly intensified the
excitement. 5hsa- tHest 60
The secessonists sympathizing With JEFF Da-
Wis we're too greatly elated TO conceal their joy,
and openly expressed their belief that the hosts
of JEFF Davis will overrun Maryland and the
District within "a hours ssAi
The reports of the riot in Baltimore are doubt
less greatly exaggerated, and have given the
enemies Of the Union here increased boldness
this evening. lat ITO time since the disaster Of
Bull Run, have they been so Wanting and de-

Shenandoah should have been 20 seriously set
back; and the enemy given such a decisive sd.
