IMPORTANT from MARYLAND
FREpsnrok, Sept. Is.


Frederick IL ours. The FIRST of our forces
entered the east end of the town at four o.
clock Yesterday afternoon. Half an hour la
ter cavalry force under command Of General
Pleasanton entered the city by way Of the
Market street turnpike. The main body Of
the rebel forces evacuated the city on Thurs
day
A few cavalry from the command Of Gen.
Stuart and the Hampton Legion, made a
charge upon our troops, whom the latter en-
tered, but the enemy were speedily repulsed.
Our loss was two killed and six wounded,
while the rebels suffered at least to that ex-
tent
The reception of our forces was Of a most
enthusiastic character. The entire city was
oveUoyed, and the people turned out en-
mdsso to welcome our forces Along the
streets through which our forces passed flags
were waved from housetops and windows,
and the sidewalks were lined with spectators
including full representation Of ladies.
The rebel forces are represented TO be about
10000 strong. The citizens of Frederick
have suffered much from the rebel incursion,
including the loss Of domestic supplies.
The enemy were in a starving and ragged
condition many of them beisg without shoes
They confidently expected that at least so, 600
men would flock in to them in Frederick
county. Jackson was here together with
Longsireet and Hill. They left Frederick
with the intention, as reported, Of going to
Pennsylvania, but subsequently events seem
to indicate that they will ondeavor to retreat
into Virginia, by way Of Williamsport
This morning, an engagement is going on
at the foot Of the mountains, on the road to
Sandy Hook, with the rebels, consisting of
a.. l.. 4 a.
portion of the enemy went to Hagerstown,
while jackson took the lef-hand road tow
ards Harpor's Ferry. The rebels left 45O Of
their sick in Frederick.
Nearly all the Maryanders who enlisted
with the rebels at Frederick have been cap
tured, and confess to having already had
enough Of war
On our way thither this morning from Urana,
Gen. Mcclellan aud staff passed through Gen.
summers troops who opened their ranks FOE
that purpose.
The enthusiasm with which Gen. McClel-
Ian was received by that veteran corps is be-
yond description.
Before the rebels left Frederick, they sack
ed and destroyed the Union newspaper office
The ladies here were forced to hide the A mer-
lean flags about their persons, to prevent the
rebels from carrying them off
There is no probability that the troops will
remain inactive. There is now no fear of an
invasion Of Pennsylvania Yesterday the 9Th
Illinois cavalry charged on two rebel regi-
ments of cavalry, and three guns on the road
to Hagarstown. We had two men wounded
and took 40 prisoners.
