Rebels Marching ON UniOntOwn.
Seizure of Postage Stamps.
Lewd Conduct of Female Secessionists.

BALTIMORE, Sept IL.
learn from gentlemen who left Westnins-
ter at noon yesterday, that the rebels ADAM
doned that place at IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing, marching towards Uniontown, which is in
the direction of Hagerstown. They number
about $50, with 12-pound field pieces, under
command of Col. Rossler. They darted into
town at O'Clock at night. stationed their can
non on a hill, and placed their pickets.
They told the citizens who had not fed that
they had nothing to fear as they came as
friends, and would interfere with no one not
in military service. The secession smypathiz-
ers in town kept aloof from them as much as
possible, but female traitors flocked around
them and welcomed them in a most enthusiastic
manner. Their conduct is described as most
disgusting and immodest. The rebels arrested
DIR. Billengea, the Provost Marshal, but after
wards parolled him. All the books and papers
were destroyed. They also took possession
and seized all the postage stamps, which they
carried off with them. They opened few
letters, but left the balance. In their CONVEX
sation with citizens they expressed the great
est friendship, and desired to be received as
friends. No one was interfered with or ques-
toned with regard to his sentiments. They
had plenty of money, such as it was, and spent
ii freely in purchasing what they wanted from
stores.
Among the money were notes on the Union
Bark, of Baltimore; some on the Westmins-
ter Bank Virginia money, and rebel scrip
They even purchased food for their horses
Many of the horses of the rebels were marked
U. s., and Col. Rossler rode charger which
he said had belonged TO Gen. Pope.
They had picket guard out during the
night, about 3 miles this side of Westminster,
but called it in at 10 O'Clock that morning, and
took up their line of march westward at II
O'Clock. They said there would be more troops
there, who would come by the same route that
they had, but up to the hour our informant
left none had arrived.
They destroyed a small railroad bridge three
miles west of Westminster, at Ovendorf's
Mills, but afterwards expressed regret at hav-
ing done it, Rossler declaring it to have been
unnecessary. Yesterday their pickets brought
in eleven deserters from the Hath Pennsylva-
mia regiment. They gave as their reason for
deserving that they had not received their
bounty money.
The rebels obtained a number of recruits at
Westminster, refusing all excepting those who
came fully armed and equipped. They wore
all kinds of dress, but our informant says they
were all comfortably clad and were not in bad
condition, nor were their horses.

The Banks Expedit,on.

A Washington letter in the Boston Traveller
has the following statement; "The persistency
of large portion of the people in clngng to
the belief that Banks is to cooperate with Burn
side in the capture of Richmond is suspicious,
as 1t Is right in the face of contrary facts" A
large portion Of the people have chung to this
belief because the importance of sending the
Banks expedition to Virginia or North carolina
was SO obvious. 1t has seemed TO many men,
pie thar the government should employ its
whole available force at the east to over.
whelm and crush out the rebellion in Virginia
If this were done effectually, it would de.
stroy the chief military strength of the rebellion
dislocate, confuse, and demoralize the whole
traitorous organization, and make the rest of the
work easy. 1t is because large portion of the
people see this clearly, that they have believed
that Gen. Banks would be heard of somewhere
south Of Richmond. If this belief is fright in
the face OF contrary facts" theu it is very diff.
cult to believe that the Contrary facts" are in
Accordance with the best policy.
Ever since the war began the efforts of the
government have been foiled or weakened by
delays and by the policy of attempting to strike
the rebellion on every side at the same time.
Our ARMIES have been divided; with men
enough ia the field, we have seldom had men
enough at the points where battles were to be
fought; and battles have been very bloody,
many times, when more careful concentration
Of our troops would have over Whelmed She rebel
forces or brought them to surrender without any
very great amount of bloodshed. We do no,
like this policy. We do not admire those who
dictate it. We do not believe it eau lead to thf
great results so much desired, The whole coln
try can see how frequently II has led to unnec
essary bloodshed and disaster, and how much Il
has contributed TO make our military operations
unsuccessful.
il is now Of the highest importance to destroy
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-12-18

completely the rebel power in Virginia, and this
being so, our whole military power at the east
should be employed 70 do the work. If we could
bring against the rebel forces in immediate COM
Snunication with Richmead five men to their one,
so much the better. cit would do the work more
surely and swiftly, and greatly lessen the amount
of bloodshed. So think a great many people;
therefore it is not surprising that they have chung
10 the belief that the expedition under General
Banks would have part in the W, rk. The Sec
rotary of war says he twill land in good
place. but, evidently, the best place is some
point where he can cooperate with the troops at
Suffolk and elsewhere south Of Richmond
When the work there is done, he can go to Tex
as, Mobile, or anywhere else if necessary. Finish
the work with the rebels in Virginia, and there
will be no such difficulty at any other point.
1t may be all right to send that expedition TO
some distant place, at the present time; but we
neither see nor believe it so and we have no con-
fidence whatever in the "generalship" that pur-
sues such a policy. Gen Banks is one of our
very best military leaders; and how it would
raise the spirits and hopes of the people to hear
of him near Richmond!
