ITEMS FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.
An escaped prisoner who was in the hands of
the rebels four days says that all the Federal
forces at Frederick fell back TO Harper's Ferry,
but before doing so had Thursday night burned
the hospital and cOmmissary stores, and re-
moved the sick and wounded Friday afternoon
the rebel pickets extended out as far as New
market, eight miles southeast of Frederick
The Federal pickets were withdrawn sixteen
miles from the same place, The rebels had got
possession Of only two or three cars at Freder-
ick come of which were loaded with old pontoon
bridges
Intelligence received here last night and
additionally confirmed this morning, Of the oc-
cupatlon of Frederick City, Maryland, by the
rebel forces, naturally excited much surprise
mingled with indignation and alarm There was
but limited opportunity for obtaining information
from that point, almost all the intelligence com
ing by way of Baltimore. The Government au-
thOrlues received the news early yesterday even
ing in a written documentary form. Last night
immense bodies Of our troops we're in motion for
the Upper Potomac and elsewhere, and to-day
the military operations continue. Nearly all the
rebel troops have apparently been Withdrawn
from our front None in large force remains.
There IS no doubt that large reinfOrcements Of
rebels we're yesterday passing from Ashby Gap,
south Of Leesburg, as if intending to cross nj
Snyker's Ferry, which is between Point of Rocks
and Edwards Ferry.
The rebels moyein solid columns, first cavalry,
next artillery, then infantry; with their baggage
in the rear, and these again are followed in the
same order by similar descriptions of troops.
The people of the valley have contributed to
nish them with all desired information.
Nothing has been heard of our troops at Harp
er's Ferry and Martinsburg, who are cut of from
reintOrcements by the movements of the rebels
tOWarde Frederic.
gentleman who arrived here to-day having
left Frederick between nine and ten O'clocl, last
night on horseback, says the rebel force there is
estimated at 1000 men under StOneWall Jackson,
From this gentleman'5 conversation with rebel
soldiers he derived the impression that one of
their objects is to destroy the Western Central
Pennsylvan Railroad, and otherwise operate in
that state, and having ulterior designs on Wash
ington and Baltimore. Our informant was glad
to leave the neighborhood Of Frederick without
careng to remain long enough to verify this
statement.
gentleman just returned from the late battle
field states that quite a number of the hacks
pressed into service on Saturday week, for the
purpose Of conveying the wounded TO this city,
are still on the battlefield, the rebels having
taken the horses and thus prevented them from
returning home.
parOed prisoner who arrived here to-day re-
ports that about $4,000 rebels have passed into
Maryland, the main body Of them over the Mon
Occacy. He had passed through the lines and
counted twenty-seven batteries. This statement
is believed among the military in this city.
A report reached here this morning that there
was a skirmish in the neighborhOOd of Pooles-
vile to- day. Many of the citizens of that
locality came to Washington.
