Reoel movement Is merely a raid Into Maryland,
Intended to raw the great body Of veteran troops
from Washington IN their pursuit, whilst tho
main Rebsl army make dash on the works in

that passed through Frederick have gone west

accumulated for them by Rebel sympathizers,
With cattle AID provender, and other supplies.

movement ON Hagerst0w1 Is to compel the eyac-
uason OF Martinsburg, and leave an open road
cross the Maryland line in that direction from
whence they will move through the Chan, bers-
burg Valley towards Harrisburg, or east towards
Washington or Baltimore.
