The Rebels at Union Point-The
Federal Army in Motion.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. s.-The rebels are
ut Union Point, in Maryland, whence they
passed without opposition.
The newspapers tell us that our army is
in motion, but in what direction no one
knows.
Let us hope that we are on the eve oil
more cheering events for the times are in-
deed gloomy.
Some military mcu, ut Washington, ex-
press tue opinion that this movement of
the rebels will prove disastrous to them,
and that it WAS made from necessity rather
than choice.
The Press correspondent says In Off
cinl circles we notice the greatest conf
deuce in Gen. Mcclellan and the army, and
it is believed that the rebels who entered
Maryland can never cvaae capture.
An officer Of high rank said yesterday
that if the recent movements authorized
yesterday be only poorly carried out, there
is nothing left but disaster to the rebels,
unless all military prccedents are false.
The traitors Mt Washington are reticent
aud respondent.
The rebel troops have vanished from our
entire left and front in Virginia, and it is
believed that they have been massed on our
right-prObabiy with the view to throw
their entire army across the river as soon
as possible. they are evidently satisfied
that Il demonstration on our front would be
entirely useless.
The invasion of Maryland is not of the
nature of raid. The rebels are determine
ell to stay or risk battle. Every arm of
their service is represented. They brought
no baggage with them, and seem deter
mined to live on the country in which they
are located. They are in want of ummu-
milton, but are now living on the fat of the
land.

From an Escaped P risoner-Fcderal
Forces at Frederick Fall Back to
Harper's Ferry-DestruCtion of
Army Stores.
WAsmINGroN, Sept. 8-An escaped Pris-
oner, who was in the hands OF the rebels
four days, says that all the Federal forces
Mt Frederick foil back to Harper's Ferry,
but before doing SO, had Thursday night,
burned the hospital and cOmmissary stores,
and removed the sick and wounded.
Friday afternoon the rebel Pickets ex-
tended ont as far as New Market, eight
miles southeast of Frederick. The Federal
pickets were withdrawn lG miles from the
same place. The rebels had got possession
of only two or three cars at Frederick,
some of which were filed with old pontoOn
bridges.
The rumor of an advance upon Hagcrs
town appears to be unfOunded, as no rebels
have, AS yet, made their appearance in that
vicinity. 1t is generally believed, however,
that they will shortly advance upon that
town. Arms are being rapidly distributed
the counties on our Southern
border.
This department is in the haads of Col.
]. b. Parker, an aid to the Governor, and
Major Washabaugh.

There is great excitement here in conse-
quence of the report that the Merrimac No.
9, had reached the vicinity of Newport
News, and had an encounter with one or
two of our gun boats, and had driven them
before her. All the shipping here has been
removed to place of safety, but no fears
of anything serious are entertained, as such
arrangements have been made by our naval
authorities rs will probably make the ca
reer of tho Merrimac No. of shorter dura-
ton than her former namesake. An nrri-
val from City Point to-day reports all quiet

Good News from North Carolina-A
Union Victory.

New YoRK, Sept. "a brilliant battle
occurred on the ID inst at Plymouth, n. C..
a body of 400 rebels under Col. Garrett
were met and engaged by Union force of
300 men under Orderly Sergeant Green, of
Hawkins Zouavcs. The Union trnops were
the attacking party.
After battle OF one hours duration the
rebel ranks were broken and they retreuted
in disorder, leaving their commanding Off
Ger and 40 men us prisoners. The affair
derives great interest from the fact that the
Union troops were commanded by an Or
derby Sergeant who on this occasion dis
played considerable ability in conducting
the battle as well AS great personal cour-
age.
