-a FREDERICK CITY, ND,
s.#. Saturday, September -, 1862.
Thank God we have at last found a truly loy-
al town in Maryland The advance of General
Burnsde's command approached this city lit
tie before six O'Clock last evening, having passed
from Rockville to New Market, and thence to
this city. When within half a mile Of the town
the picket of Stuart's cavalry was discovered and
driven in. At the main street tPatrlckl bat
terry of two pieces was posted, which was opened
upon our advance without doing any damage
Gen Burnside sent battery to the front, one
gun was speedily dismounted and the other ST.
fenced by our fire. when the 9th New York cav-
airy made charge up the street. and soon clears
ed the town of about 800 of Stuart's cavalry
the rear guard of the rebel army One dead rebel
was found and seven so badly wounded as to be
left behind. On our side, one man was killed and
several were more or less severely wounded
Gen. Burnside then entered the town at the head
OF his column. and a more magnificent reception
was never awarded to man. The people illumi
mated their houses, the stars and stripes were
thrown to the breeze, patriotic songs were sung
handk erchefs were waved, houses which had
been closed for days were thrown open, and ot1i'
GERS and men were alike Invited in, and the bes
the city could afford urged upon them, wiehou
money and without price. Gen. BurnSide's pas
sage through the streets was blocked up witt
citizens eager to thank and Ebless him as the1
"deliverer" Ladies crowded about and insisted
upon kissing his hands, and from the balconies o
private residences he was showered with boquet
! of flowers Old men and women she'd tears o

This is no overdrawn picture; it will give tn
reader only faint idea ofthe happiness impaired
to the people of this place by the approach of

Stuarts, Lees, Johnsons, etc, of the rebel army

secessiouist in this city, SO there is in New York
but these are the exception, and not the rule.
To-day the city presents most brilliant az
pearance-the troops are everywhere greete
with cheers, the waving of flags and handker
chiefs, as they pass along the streets-stores an
houses were thrown open-yonng ladies an
smises throng the streets, wearing minatur
flags, and one feels as he passes along that he
! indeed welcome visitor ...
