The Captain told the men they had better
return to the pike, and escape as best they
could, He had not proceeded far before a
cavalry officer rode up to him and demanded
his sword and pistol, which he threw upon
the ground, In the confusion of the occasion
he regaiued his pistol, and observing rebel
shoot one of the LIST Maryland, he drew and
shot him, and succeeded, with Lieutenant
Campbell, in securing the rebels horse and
riding off.
After proceeding about two miles they
came across the ambulance, in which Col
Henley lay. The vehicle was passing alons
the pike, and had been fired into by rebe
cavalry several times, and finding themselves
closely pursued, they abandoned the horse
and leaping several fences, took to the wood
where they managed to conceal themselves
until the enemy gave up the search.

Baltimore, May 26.
We learn there was some popular commo-
ton in Hagerstown on Saturday evening and
Sunday. A rebel newspaper office was de-
stroyed, and prominent secessonists punished
very severely in all parts of the town.
A report from Williamsport says that as
our troops passed through Winchester the
women fired upon them with pistols from
doors and windows, and that the sick left in
hospitals were most brutally treated, and
some of them wounded.
All is now quiet in Baltimore.
In view of active movements in progress it
is thought the rebels will stand a chance OF
being caught in trap.
