Correspondence Of the n. T. Tflbu7c.1
CANT NEAR Poo1Esy1LLE, Mun1ay Afternoon,l

T1nore have been advancing to day, and my |
letter is resumed five or six miles beyond the |
place lis date |
Il is confidently believed here in front,
where, if anywhere, intelligence ought to BE- /
had, that the II bells have crossed the Potomac
with their main body, and are at Frederick
100000 strong. If this be SO, it must be
known from other sources long before this let
the public is Systematically denied kuo vi
edge OF such facts, but suppose that in this
csse the tews may be beyond the control ot
goysrhmtht or general l believed when |
left Washington that campaign II Maryland
was part OF the rebel plan. All evldenc: con
firms it here. Whatever force is immedlate1!
in front Of this army is the curtain behind
which the T. bel procession marches to balti-
more. Maryland, fAir and false, half loyal in
speech, wholly traitor at heart. welcomes
with open hand an army that invades only to
| liberate her from federal tyranny. Her soil
| shakes under the tread Of armed feet, but the
| yoke is lifted from her neck.
| Possibly not Baltimore but Harrisburg is
the point to be struck. Frederick is 8 blse
| for either march. Whichever it be, the cau1-
laign begius in country oyetfoHing with

through it needs to keep open nd line Of COM
