attend 10 in Baltimore, he sadded up a pair OF
plow horses, b ing the only team left his place
and started of for Frederick City.
On arriving within u Jew miles OF Frederick be
was stopped by the Rebel pickets and obtained per
mission to pass on to the quarters OF the Provost
Marshal. Bradley L. Johnson, with whom he had al
one time acquaintance. On reaching the city
be was conducted to the Marslal's Office, and was
warmly greeted by Johnson, who assured him that
il was cut of his power TO grant MIN pass to Balti-
MORE as no one but General Lee had that power, 10
whom be referred him, giving him q pass to the
Generals headquarters, four miles from trederlck,
on the Georgetown road
This occurred on Monday afternoon, and Gen.
ODOnnel Immediately started ont TO TIE Rebel
camp, where he found Gen. Lees headquarters on
one side of the road and Gen. Jackson's on the
other side. There was quite large force OF III
fantry without teDie, and most Of tie men without
knapsacbs presenting a most deplorable appear
ance, far as dress was concerned, though they
were well armed and seemed 10 lie in good spirits.
On reaching the camp, Gen. 'Donnell approached
! the tent OF Gen. Lee, when he was met by Charles
Marshal, formerly a lawyer OF Baltimore with
whom he was also personally acquainted. Marshal
was acting as an aid Of Gen. Lee, and on Gen.
lODonnell making known to him that his business
was secure pass to Baltimore, be told him that
Gen. Lee was very busy, and could not be seen,
but that he would make known BIS request 10 BIN.
Marshal entered the tent and soon returned with tie
pass required, and Informed Ger. O'Donnell that
IT'LL Lee ftIutettu 10 ray tDab IL
great pleasure TO grant his request.
! The pass was granted 10 Ger. ODonnell without
any restrictions nor was he required to give any
pledges not to disclose anything that he had seen
within the lines.
We lave not had the pleasure Of seeing Gen.
IODonnel Int learn that il is his opinion from what
he saw that the enemy had no intention Of advancing
either on Baltimore or Washington. The impression
on bis mind that they preparing to rsti,e
before McClellans army, and would soon recross
tie river at some of the upper fords. Scouting
ties were ont scOnring the country for horses and
cattle and would probably enter the border counties
Of Pensy lvana for this purpose, If sufficient time
was given them TO accomplish their purpose.
Tie presence Of both Gems. Lee and Jackson near
Frederick would either indicate that the expedition
il most hazardous one, or that the mass Of the army
has really accompanied them, and that tue invasion
is reality, and not a foraging raid Even il It is
merely rll for subsistence stores, It's success il
dOubtodly mcst important to the Rebels, and TIE
presence Of these two prominent Generals may be
accounted for on that ground.
Our intelligence from Washington is that the
Rebels have fallen back from Gen. McC'ellar's front,
and that lie has advanced Fix miles beyond POoles-
Vile from which Rebel pcket-guaId was driven
out, after come fighting on Monday afternoon.
TIE FORCE OF THE REBELS.
The statements Rave received from correspond
euts Of New-York paUers ne TO the force IN which
the Rebels have crossed into Maryland entirely dis
arree with any accounts that have been received
here from fueitvss from Frederick County. NO
one who las vet arrived here speaks OF having seen
more than 1900 men, while some OF the Northern
corIesrondeuts vouch for army OF from 90 coo 10
10000. The following note received last night
from respec;abe gentleman OF Washington County,
/ places the number stlll lower:
| As she move nent anu number Of Rebel troops
row in MARYLAND are greatly exaggerated, / beg
lelve--lcirg perhaps, the last person from the lo
calty-to make fair statement OF what conceive
10 be- their hunters and designs. They do not eA-
coed 100, but, being mostly cavalry, move very
ouicnir and ike most Of my neighb0rs Of Freder-
EEK and Washington Counties. II had never seen
the military parades around " Washington, should
tx their number at from 30 Oc0 TO 5000. They are
moving tii IL possess military strategy to draw
from the defense OF Washington as MANY troops a.
po,sibIe 70 TO fall on TINT ety. with great force,
fox they prepared to recross the Potomac al any
time III a few hours.
REBEL ROBBERY or FREDERICK.
The HarrisJurg Telegraph says that LADY
direct from Frederick, who was permitted TO
leave the town by pass from Gen. J 'huson states
that the Rebels were making large purchases, but
that hey paid for all their goods in Rebel scrip and
not United States Treasury notes, as our dispatches .
allegc. She further states that they would not re
celye any other money IN change except United
States Treasury notes; thus virtually robbing the ,
citizens OF their property under the pretense OF pay
ing Tor their goods in Rebel money, which ID every
where in Maryland garded - worthless.
EXcIIIAlENT IN PENNsYLyANIA
We learn that the greatest excitement existed last
evening throughout York aud Adams County. Penn
sylyania, n well "a ut Harrisburg and throughout
he Su-quehanua region and the Cumberland Valley.
The ruuors were wild and contradictory, Tut
there seemed TO be DO doubt that the enemy cav

yaGer. The farmers sending their women and
Children 40 well as their cattle, away, and were

OUR FORCES MOVING on THE FNrMY.
A correspondent writing near Frederick June
