The Latest News.

commenced on Thursday the 4th in three columns; ;
first at Edwards Ferry the second at Little Senaca
Falls and third at the "Point of Rocks" Since
the passage of the three divisions others have gone
over. 1t will be seen that the Yankee accounts
state that no 'rebel" force was on Maryland soil
up to Friday, the 5th.
Official intelligence has been received at Richmond,
that Gen. Lee had established his headquarters at
Frederick City, which is about 50 miles from Balt-
more IS miles from Annapolis, 43 from Washing
ton City and about 65 miles from Harrisburg, Pa.
The country around Frederick is rich and penti-
fu and have the gratifying intelligence that
army well received by the people, many send
ing presents of provisions, and others selling what
our soldiers needed and taking pay in Confederate
notes. 1t is also said that many Marylanders arc
focking to our standard bringing with them arms
and ammunition
Rumor, it will be seen, announces the advance of
our forces as far as the Relay House, within nine
miles of Baltimore, and of the uprising of the cit
zens of that place and an attack upon the Federal
troops as in April, 1861. These rumors are be-
leved in Richmond to some extent, but not entirely
credited.
Gen. Mcclellan, now being in command at Wash
ngton City, is engaged in preparing for its defence
as twelve months ago. The tide of war has been
thrown back by our nvincibe troops to its original
point. Beyond the enemy's lines they are pressing
forward. Our past successes warrant the hope that
victory will still attend them At what point Gen.
Lee aims his first blow, is not known In the mean
time, we hope that sufficient force has been left
South of the Potomac to guard well the of the
invading army.
The news from Cincinnati has not been confirmed
by the latest dispatches.
The news from Europe is of little interest The
U. S. war steamer, Tuscarora had been ordered off
from Falmouth by the British government. She
had put in to repair and coal. The Yankees are
indignant at this treatment.
We have nothing later from the west than our
telegraphic dispatches give, of much interest.
On Sunday last Col. Forrest re-entered Murfrees-
boro', Tenn, in time to save the Court House from
destruction. The Yankees on leaving had fired it.
1t is also stated that yellow fever is prevailing in
New Orleans among the Yankee troops.
The New York Herald stated several days ago,
that Hon. VIM. S. Ashe, of this State, acting aid
to Gen. Jackson, was captured by the Yankees on
Monday last, while making reconnaissance. The
Richmond papers copy this without remark. We
do not believe the rumor.
The New York Times of Friday last has melan.
choly but very truthful editorial the present as
pect of Yankee affairs. 1t says unless great
change takes place soon, the Union cause is doom
ed to speedy and disastrous overthrow" The
New York Tribune is also alarmed. 1t says the
North "should prepare for the worst"

MoYements of the Armies.

The news from all points becomes more and more
interesting and encouraging every day. Difficult
1t is to obtain entirely reliable information from
the Potomac and beyond, it is now rendered entire
ly certain that strong force of the Confederate
army has advanced into Maryland, and ere this may
be in possession of Baltimore and all the lines of
communication north and west of Washington
City The force of these facts, it is evident the
Northern press and government laboring to break
lest general panic may ensue. We need not guard
our readers against false statements from that
quarter.
In the West every thing betokens the speedy
driving out of the enemy from all our States. His
evacuation of Alabama will lead to his entire aban
donment of Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.
The columns of Kirby Smith, already at the door of
Cncinnat if not in possession, and the columns of
Gen. Bragg, Gen. Price, Gen. Buckner and the
corps of Gen. Morgan will soon free old Kentucky,
and we trust she will wheel into line with will to
do her full duty.
The appointment of Gen. Jos. E. Johnston to the
command west of the Mississippi, aided by Gems.
Holmes, Hindman and others, gives assurance that
Arkansas and Missouri will soon be free.
