The following from the Richmond Dispatch OF

OF the advance of our forces four divisions, into
MARYLAND on Friday and Saturday last there can be
no doubt The Dispatch says:
It was stated Yesterday afternoon, but how cor

distance from the river to that point to prevent their
reaching there at the time stated The distance
from Frederick to the Relay, by the old National

passing of the Potomac by troops, and confrma-

no surprise. The difficulty is said to have original

the Government stores from that city to the North
to which the people en- massc objected, and pitched
in after the style Of The 10Th Of April, 1861, with
brickbats and other accessible weapons. There
