bly, foilsd.
From the Baltimore American, Sept Ill
We have some later Intelligence this morning
from the Rebel lines, which indicate that what.
ever may have been the purposes and intentions
Of the Rebel chiefs In crossing the Potomac and
sCizIDg Frederick that they are now closely
hlgging the Potcma,, and with the exec ption OF
cavalry demonstrations and picket guards their
whole army Ii massed between Frederick and the
river.
General Mcclellan here confronts them with a
to point considerably north Of the Baltimore
road, and protecting even Westminster and other
portions Of Carroll county from the oayalry raids
OF the enemv. He has so thorous hhy eneom passed
them that they must either cross the river again,
or meet him In deadly conflict on the banks OF
the Potomac.
The great body Of the enemy was massed near
New Market, on the Baltimore road, and at Ur.
bana, On the Georgetown road-the latter unde.
General Lee, and the former under Gen Jackson
This was their position on Monday, but nc Ison
has since advanced on Hagerstown, and occupied
II yesterday.
TO have accomplished anything either In the
direction OF Baltimore or Warrington this
movement OF the enemy must necessarily have
been rapid one. The ave days that have
elapsed since they entered Frederick, and the
retiring Of iheir lines eight or ten miles from
Washington, within that time, may be regarded
az an abandonment of such purpose. They are
now evidently endeavoring to draw General Nc
Clellan as far possib from Washington in
pursuit 81 them, 80 to Cross in readiness on the
other side, between him and Washing ton, and
thus get In his rear. The plan Of the Rebels was
doubtless framed with the expectation that Gen
Pope would be in command, but Of course Gen.
Mcclellan cannot be caught In any uch trap.

THE ENEMY COMPELLED TO CHANGE

WHAT THEIR PURPOSE Is.

There tad been 70 fighting reported here up
10 noon to-day. AZ the enemy know well that
the lower frrds OF the Potomac have been prao-
tIcElly seized by Gen. Mcclellan, (whose move
ments CT Yesterday and the day before Put lis

and the Point Of RocfD than the position held
By thsir main force up to yesterday afternoon
The threatening state Of the weather ma kes such q
change CT position indispensable for them, unless
they, TOO, cake no thought Of lines CT retreat"
The positions assumed by Gen Mcclellan to
command the lever fords, involved general ad
vance Of his army Of about fifteen miles. Ii seems
to Us that IN twenty. four hours the enemy must
necessarily advance towards Baltimore, or to-
wards this city, Of but to dislodge Mcclellan
from the command Of some Of their absolutely
requisite lines Of retreat) They have all to lose
and nothing whatever to gain by delaying serious
work In Maryland; and the fact that they have
delayed them up to this time, looks much us
