NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

on Wednesday $50 we learn by O telegraphic dis
patch which came by maL) This tremendously wise
emanation from the Associated Press electrical ma
chine gives the astounding news that "nohng il
known with certainty as to what tie Rebels design"
There's wisdom! Two lines from Baltimore say
that the telegraph operator at Elysville head heavy
cannonadmg, evidently at great distance, on yes
terday morning. Philadelphia advices by way Of
Harrisburg report that IIagerstown, Nd, is oecu-
pied by only go Rebel cavalry. The main Rebel
army is OF Funktown, two and half miles of. a
small party had appeared short distance
from the State line. Pennsylvania is not yet
invaded. jackson is reported to lie at Mid
dletown, with l2,0oO men, mostly cavalry"
special dispatch from Poolesville by way of Phia-
delphis, says thai our troops occupy Sugar Loaf
Mountain. Our special dispatch from Harrisburg
Gays that so Rebel cavalry came to Hagerstown yes
,srday, and more followed; the inhabitants were
looking for tie north star; there information in
Harrisburg that Jacksons active force vas 40, 900,
and that there were 10000 Rebel troops in Mary
land-that they going capture the Union forces
at Martinsburg and Harpers Ferry, aud then q.
their easy leisure take Baltimore and Washington.
They were well srmed, but quite undi.cipned.
Maylanders had free TO t,er lines, and some
recruits had joined them. Gen. Wool had come to
Harrisburg TO command the Pennsy vana State
iCrces, Of whom there would be 10000 or more
within three DAYS. One of our correspondents
writing from rear Middebrook, says the army is adj
vancing slowly, so slowly as to give the men time
TO recover from the falgues Of the Virginia battles.
The main Rebel strength is thought TO be between
Sugar Loaf Mountain and Monocacy Bridge. But
al knowledge as to their position and numbers
seems to be carefully kept back, and in place of
authentic fscs have only the widest conjectues.
1t seems to he clear that the Rebels have found
,he active sympathy and material aid that they ex
pec,ed in Maryland. The latest estimates of the ex-
tent OF the Rebel force this side of the Potomac vary
from 1000 to ,00o
