PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l2.-The Inquirer
mas report that the rebels are at Green Cas-
tie, Pennsylvania. A Hanover correspond
ent states that G. L. West of Chester Facto-
ry, Hampden county, Mass, deserted Thurs
day from the rebels, who impressed him last
January. He makes the following statements
That the rebels are under Lee, and that Hill,
Longstreet, McKill, and jackson, also are in
Maryland with one hundred and fifty Thousand
men. The rebels keep their troops close to-
gether, have no tents, and build no camp fires,
everything being conducted as secretly pos
sible. Previous to reaching Frederick, the
rebels were badly off for fodder, but since
they have been well supplied. A Baltimore
dispatch Of yesterday, in the Philadelphia In
quirer, says rebel woman who saw Lee near
Frederick, states that he was wounded in both
hands.
HARRISBURG, Pa, 2.30 a. NJ, Sept. p
One of our scouts just returned from Fred
erick says that the rebels have broken up
their encampment at Frederick and are march
ing on Hagerstown. Their forces consisted Of
infantry and artillery, and they had over three
hundred pieces of cannon, some of which
were very large. Gems. Robert L. Lee, Stone
wall jackson, Howell Cobb and others, were
with them. Our scout saw, as he supposed,
five thousand rebel cavalry near New Market

many pieces of cannon marked U. s., and al
so many horses, mules and wagons marked
in the same way. The opinion prevailed
among all the rebel soldiers that they were
going into Pennsylvania.
LATER.-Since the receipt of the foregoing
reliable information has been received that
StOnewall jackson, with his advance, is now
In HagerStown, preparing to move with his
whole army upon Pennsylvania. Our scouts
from Hanover, Gettysburg, and jamestown,
arrived here at a late hour last night and
confirm the evacuation of the camps at Fred
erck by the rebels.
The telegraph operator at Chambersburg
Mr.. Wilson, has rendered services almost in
valuable in reporting to Gov. Curtin the con-
dition Of affairs, often when almost surround
ed by the enemy. Men composing the com"
panies under the call of the governor for mil
itia should provide themselves with gun aud
sixty rounds of ammunition to suit the caliber
OF his piece. 1t will be impossible for the
state to furnish arms to such large number
of men.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l2.-The National In
telhgencer of to-day says, ''We learned last
evening by messenger from the army of
Gen. Mcclellan that he had advanced his
headquarters some miles beyond Rockville,
and that the army had approached the Mon
Ccacy river; the bridges over which or por-
ton of them had been destroyed by the reb-
els"
BALTIMORE, Sept. 12.-The American says,
awe learn from gentleman who left West
minister yesterday morning, that there was no
demonstration by the rebels in that direction.
All the bridges on the Northern Central road
are now strongly protected, and troops are be-
ing posted along all the reading to it. Trains
went oyt as usual yesterday"
A dispatch from Elyville, on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, reports heavy cannonading
as having been heard there at an early hour
yesterday, apparently in the neighborhood of
Urbane. All was quiet along the roads, and
up to last night all was quiet in the vicinity of
Harpers Ferry. Both the railroad and tele-
graph lines were uninterrupted between lar-
per's Ferry and Wheeling.
BALTIMORE, Sept l2.-Five hundred rebel
cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, charged
through Westminster early last evening" firing
their pistols ON unarmed men in the streets.
II train about entering the place was turned
back. 1t is expected that d locomotive and
two cars were captured, as they have not ar
rived here. The federals occupied New Mar
ket, ten miles from Frederick, yesterday.
THE REBELS AT WESTMINSTER.
BALTIEoRE, Sept. Ia learn from gen
teman who left Westminster at noon yeSter-
day, that the rebels abandoned that place at
II o'clock yesterday morning, marching to-
ward Uniontown, which is in the direction of
Hagerstown. They number about $50, with
'12-pound field pieces, under command of
Col Rosser. They darted into town at 8
o'clock at night stationed their cannon on
hill Immediately, pieketed their horses, and
told citizens that had not fled they had moth
ing to fear, that they came as friends, and
would interfere with no one not in military
service. The secession sympathizers in town
kept aloof from them as much as possible, but
female traitors focked around them and well
coined them in a most enthusiastic manner.
Their conduct is described as most disgusting
and immodest.
They arrested DR.. Billinglea, the provost
marshal, and afterwards paroled him. All
the books and papers in connection with the
enrolment were destroyed. They also took
possession of the post office and seized all the
postage stamps which they carried off with
them. They opened few letters, but left
the balance. In their intercourse with citi-
zens they professed the greatest friendship
for the peace of the state, and desired to be
received as friends. No one was interfered
with or questioned with regard to sentiments.
