An attemp: havirg been made to relieve
Col Tom Ford Of Oaio from the odtum Of
having unnecessarily abandoned MARYLAND
H1shts, the Baltimore American publishes the
following official order from Miles to Ford:
HAnfEn's FERRY, Sept 1s. 1860,
Col. Ftrd, Couma adlng MARYLAND uiehts:
Since I returned to this side, on close inepec-
lion find your position more .deftnslbie thanft
ay'nea1td when al youz station, covered Us it Is
ut a1l points by the cannon Of Camp Hill.
You viii hold On. and can hold On, TIL the cowsf
tails drop otf. Yours,
{Sieped) D. S. MILES, Col ID Infantry.
Nothing further has yet been made public
officially about the Maryland battles. The
general feeling is, that, while ONT victory is |
not as complete as dispatches from the field
first led us 10 anticipate, it vas, nevertheless,
a substantial Success, won by the superior |
stubborn fighting Of our soldiers against equal |
If Tot superior numbers. II is believed that |
tho moral effect of the defeat On the lately ex-
ultsnt and confident spirit Of the rebel army
will be worth more than any other advantage
we may have gained.
