ACCIDENT ON THE PuIADELPnIA, WILMINGTON
AND BALTIMORE RAILRoAD.-About O'Clock,
A. NJ, Tuesday, two passenger trains of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad, filled with soldiers journeying to
different regiments around Washington, came
in collision near Bell ROAD Station, few
miles on this side of Gray's Ferry bridge
The trains had started from the depot in
Philadelphia, fifteen minutes apart, but the
foremost having, by some oversight, become
separated into two portions, several cars
remained upon the road, while the engine
with the remainder, pursued its way. These
stationary cars were struck by the advancing
train, producing a horrible disaster. The
hlndmost stationary car was cut almost into
two parts, and the others were damaged to q
greater or less degree. Three soldiers were
Killed, and twenty-one severely injured.

WAR NEWS.
The Invasion OF Maryland-W War News
from the West-EXcitement in Gin
Iinuafi.

The invasion of Maryland ly the rebel
army is an accomplished fact. With force
varionsly stated at from twenty to fifty thou
sand men, during Friday and Saturday OF
last week they crossed the Potomac at points
above and below the Point Of II .cks and
pushed forward in the direction of Frederick
city, taking possession Of that place on Sa,ur-
day about noon. The first division that
crossed was under command Of General II ill.,
and was followed by General Jackson. Our
small force at Frederick, after destroying the
stores there, with the exception Of those LET,
for the men in the hospitals, evacuated the
place retiring toward Pennsylvania. The
rebels on entering the town establish pro-
vost guard, and the notorious Bradley John
son made speech protesting that they had
come as friends, to relieve Mary land from
oppression; that private rights would be re-
spected, non-combatants unmolested, and
much more to the same effect.
Reports from Fredericksburg say that as
soon as the Union troops had evacuated the
city the Rebel flag was displayed from two or
three buildings, ana the remaining rebel resi-
dents formed themselves into a marauding
band, who paraded the city armed with knives
and pistols Their first operations were to
arrest all the men who had. during the stay Of
the Unionsts, expressed sympathies with the
cause but few of whom remained, however,
and these men too aged to remove. The
stores of men who had fled with the Union
troops, many of which contained quantities of
-four and tobacco, were broken open and
robbed.
