Raids upon the Rebel Army.
BALTIMORE. Sent. q

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.
The Americans special dispatch, dated near
Sharpsburg, Sept. oath, says our troops are
learning some tactics of the enemy, and since
the rebels were driven over the Potomac at
this point, they have kept them awake with
reconnoisances and dashes across tae river
Colonel Warren, commanding brigade at this
point, sent over company of the 5th New
York regiment recently, who brought back a
fine brass piece. The rebel pickets fell back
as soon as our men advanced, and the drum
mer of the 9Th New York, whom Col Warren
had sent over as punishment for showing
some nervousness under fire on previous oc-
casion, brought the gun over. An attempt
was also made to bring off caisson, but the
rebels rallied and took it off, The regiment
was drawn up on the canal bank during the
affair, and some shots were exchanged, but
without serious results. One man was wound
ed in the leg.
Yesterday afternoon the 62d Pennsylvania
regiment, Col. Switzer, with section of the
list New York artillery, crossed the river at
Reynolds ford, below Shepardstown, and
brought over 400 rifles, mostly marked Lon
don, 1862, and one fine l2-pounder rifed brass
piece of English manufacture. The affair was
accomplished rapidly, and with entire success.
The rebel pickets fell back as our men ad-
vanced, without resistance, and not even a
shot was exchanged. These little affairs have
an excellent effect upon the men, and their
cheering as the prize reached this side was
hearty and enlivening.
1t appears to be well ascertained that the
bulk of the rebel army is still along the other
branch Of the Potomac. All of our reconnoi-
sances find them in strong force, and the
smoke of their camp fires can be seen opposite
all the fords. As it is part of the shrewd reb-
ell tactics to show the most activity where
they have the least force, these manifestations
are not to be altogether trusted. 1t must be
difficult to feed an army as large as that of the
rebels at point SO far from railroad commu-
nication, and it is probable that large portion
of their force has fallen back as far as Win
chester
Three or four hundred wounded prisoners
left here by the rebels, were yesterday parolled
and sent across the river0nder flag of truce.
A flag was also used to agree TO the suspension
of picket firing, and piekets now walk along
the opposite banks df fAe river without moles-
tation or fear.

1t is evident to us that there will be move

army is properly supplied by the Quarmaster's
Department. Another week of such nights
as they experienced last night, will compel
them either to attack or move South.
The rebels are still engaged in rebuilding
the railroad bridge over the Rappahannock

The following is an extract of a letter to

mess, went, on Monday last to house a quar-
ter Of mile from the road to buy some chick
ems. As he walked round the house he saw
seated on the porch, seven rebel soldiers with
their muskets. He instantly advanced drew
his revolver and commanded them to surren-
der. All did so promptly but one and he. on
having the revolver brought to bear, threw
down his musket with an oath. " Fall in" Or
dered our Orderly. They obeyed and he
actually marched his nine prisoners down to
the Brigade and turned them over to one of
our aids, by whom they were placed in Gus
tody. We consider it one of the most gallant
acts of the war. He says, " if them rebels
were half as scared as was pity 'em. The
cold sweat stood all over me, but l knew they'd
shoot me if L didn't put on a bold 'front.'"
This incident personally vouch for.
