FROM MARELAND.-Since the grand army
OF Virginia crossed the Potomac last Friaay
nothing is authenticity known of their
movements.
1t was reported in the city yesterday that
from Frederickto9n, Maryland, a column
was advancing on H~arrisonburg, Pennsyl-
vania, while the main body had already
reached the Relay House, nine miles from
Baltimore. But late last night no official in
formation confrmatory Of this rumor had
been received here.
Gentlemen who left Lees5urg last Sunday.
and reached this city yesterday evening, add
nothing 10 the stock Of our certain intorma-
ton. 1T ;he time Of their departure, it was
rumored at Leesburg that oar army had
marched the day before from Frederick town
towards the Relay House. There were also
rumors of a desperate riot in Baltimore on
Saturday, in which the Provost Marshal and
several other Yankee officials had been killed
BY the citizens. The occasion of the riot
was said to have been the attempted remoy-
al by the Federals of the Government stores
from the city to prevent their falling into
the hands Of our advancing army.
Since the above was written, we have had
an interview with a gentleman who left Bal
timore on Friday night last. At the time Of
his departure great excitement existed in
consequence of the rumored design Of the
government to remote lis stores to Phila-
delphia. This was construed by the Balti-
moreans as a preparation to she'll the city
from Fort McHenry, in case it should be en-
tered by the Southern army, and hence the
excitement.
1t was believed that Confederate cavalry
scouts had been on Friday seen at the Relay
House, and that to impede the Confederate
advance the viaduct over the Patapsco at
that point had been blown up. 1t was also
reported that Stewards cavalry had PASSED
to the east Of Baltimore and burnt the bridge
over Back river, thus cutting off railroad
communication with Philadelphia. After
leaving Baltimore, our informant heard of the
rumored riot, mentioned above, with the ad-
ditional report that Provost Marshal Vanos-
trand and his assistant McPhail, had been
hung by the populace..
Montgomery county, which our forces en-
tered on crossing the Potomac, is said to
have given Stewart $50 recruits, who fur
nished their WI horses and equipments.-
The excitement throughout MARYLAND is rep
resented as intense III consequence of the
Lincoln draft and the passage of the Poto-
mac by the Confederate armies.
From MNRYLAND.-The only certain infor.
i nation we have Of our armies in Maryland
I is, that on the seventh Gen. Lees headquar.
tiers were at Frederick, Maryland.
Rumours similar to those heretofore men :
toned, of an advance on Ha~rrisonburc and
e Baltimore were abundant, but still lack con
e firmation.
Passengers who arrived by The Contra
cars yesterday evening, bring the report O
n a fight between Jackson and Wool, which
was said to have taken place near the Relay
House. Unfortunately for the credibility 0
this story its 1aTratofs alleged it to have ia
: k sg 4pplaee On SATURDAY., when, according t
/ movement, General jackson could ~scarcel,
have been fifty miles from the point at whici
: he forded the Potomac.
