a. I'M EXCITEMENT IN FREDERICK.
iraay evening Information received at
rIeueinn Vi Tue idct that party of Rebel cavalry
and artillery were at White Oak Sor;n,s and sh.,
they Were collecting cattle aud sheen from The frn.
ers OF the surrounding country. The announcement
Of course, created great excitement in Frsderick
especially as it was understood that Brsd,sv Iohn,
son was with the Rebel force. Previous 10 This In.
formation having been received on Friday. a nnmh.,
OF prominent Secessionts bad Whispered to come Of
their loyal relatives and quansDces that FREDERICK
would be in the possession of the Rebel troops re-
fore "A hours that they had posive inform alton Of
the fact. This intimidation bad previously oned
considerable excitement, and many Unionists who
placed confidence in the source. Of information Of
those sympathiZeIs had made their preparations to
leave with their wives and children.
The military force in Frederick consisted Of but
one company, under command OF Capt. Faithful, the
Provost. Marshal and OF course no attempt could DO
made to defend the city from attack. The prominent
UniOnsts having the dread OF Richmond prison be-
fore them, and knowing all resistance to be useless
expected mercy from the notorious Bradley john
son. Under this condition OF affairs, there was Of
course great commotion during the evening, and
Marshal Faithful, having satisfied himself Of the
near approach OF an overwhelming Rebel force,
at once made preparations to evsc,iate the place.
At midnight, having loaded the wagons at HE
command with the mos, valuable of his sto es, and
left sufficient for the supply of the hospitals ia which
there was about 600 patients, applied the torch 10
the balance, destroying them rather than allow them
to fall in the hands Of the enemy.
This conhagrafon Of course increased the excite
ment and every vehicle thai could be obtained Wa
brought into requsi ION TO convey the flee ing popu.
lation Thousands OF men, women, and children
left during the night many Of them foot aud tina
roads leading toward Pennsylvania and Baltimore
are represented ss having been lined with fngitives
The c0nvaescents in the hospitals, and many who
were too sick to leave, dreadng the horrors Of y
Richmond prison, also started off, and many OF them
taken in by the farmers along the roads In Az
exhausted condition.
THE REBELS IN FREDERICK.
We have net with several gentlemen from FRED
erick who LETT there q short time after the Rebels
had arrived and taken possession. Their statements
10 the main agree to tue condition OF affairs
though being loyaists, they kept as much as posse
bic alOof from tho invaders.
They variously represent the Rebel force that
passed through the CT y as from 1900 to 10000
under the command Of Gen. Ill., of North Caro-.
lina. They made their appearance ia the city 40
about ~ o'clock IN the morning. and marched In
quietly, evidently having full knowledge that there
was no opposition to be made to them. The force
was halted on Market street, ADD PROCLAMATION
.sned TO the people. We have not been able 10 OBJ
tain a copy OF the proclamsti q, but learn that it
was 10 the effect that they came as friends and noe
as enemies, 10 relieve the people o. Maryland from
the tyranny by which they were enchained that
they did not propose TO interfere with any
into their opinions; aud that whatever stores they
might require would be paid FOR, either in Confed-
crate notes or United ates Treasury notes, the
people might prefer. or the latter money the men
are represented as having good supply, supposed
TO have been rifed from the bodies Of the dead on
the battlefield.
A Rebel Provost Marshal wac appointed with
strong guard to preserve order and during The al
ternoOn the streets were througei with Rebel sol
diers visiting the stores, which he Provost-slar-
4. L. Ia .ng. any
clothing, of which they were In reat want. SO far
as we could learn s.ric; order WIS reserved.
One OF our informants states that meeting OF
the citizens Was called Saturday evening, at which
an address was delivered by Bradley Johnson who
used the mos. couciliatory language and made great
predictions of the power Of the Rebel army not only
to hold Western Maryland but to capture Baltimore
and Washington, and dictate terms Of peace in In
dependence Square at Philad-llia. The Rebel
sympathizers generally ATTENDED lie meeting; but
the few Union men who had rcI1o'Led kept To theic
homes At 10 O'Clock at night the were Ill ore
dered to their camps the ourskirts OF the city,
and the first day of Reoel rule in Frederick passed
of quietly and peacefully.
The Union flag was lowered from all tie poles il
Freder OK and the Rebel Stars ard Bars hoisteJ
in their place. Mort of the OFF were Qusrtered
at the hotels and at the houses OF prominent Rebels,
though good many oil the latter had also tied the
city.
The foragng parties cent on, in various directions
dfoves Of sheep hogs, beeves cows, and horses.
They seized everything they wanted, and said to
have rendered payment IN Fed raj 7" green-backs,
whether counterfeit or good IL not known. lheea
cattle were all driven toward the Potomac, render.
ing IL probable that the whole Invasion Is only for
foraging purposes and to Furnish supplies tor tho
main body of the Rebel army on the other side OF
the Potomac.
The purchases made in Frederick are ,ad to have
been paid for partly in Fedora money, but mostly
m Virginia and Soutn Carolina ilOgey.
MARCHING FOR PENNSYLVANIA
We learn from gentleman who left Frederick AZ
o clock on Saturday evening that body of about
900 men under Bradley johnson WAS the only
orce that stopped in Frederick. The main body
marched directly through after short halt, and
proceeded on the road TO EmmIsburg, in the direc-
ion Of Gettysburg Pa. lie states that he stopped
nree miles out, and that he supposes from lO,O00
% Is 900 men had passed, aid they were stll pour.
ng through the city aud out the Gettysburg road.
The main body OF the RebeI army WAS said to be
lnder command of Ger. Jackson, who, it was re-
ported, stopped for the night in Frederick, aud It
vas supposed that the main poriian OF the army
would encamp for the night within ten miles OF the
ity.
TIE soldiers are Represented as being by DO msans
a such high spirits RS might be supposed They
we're generally quiet and sullen, aud seemed to 10
ully aware of the hazardous expedition on which
hey were being carried by their officers.
ANOTHER REBEL ARMY.
We learn That lnttlilkellct Was Sceierday
rom Harper Ferry to the effect that Col. Miles had
eceiyed information that a large Rebel army waA
moving from Winchester on to harrisburg, evi.
emily with the intention of crossing tie Potomac at
yilliainsport, and striking off toward iagersiown,
nd thence TO Chanbersburg. The Rebels in this
icinity reported that this army was under the
iand of Gen. Bragg, VINO at last &C cunts was in
.ast Tennessee, SAID to be on his way to Western
rginia and from thence to Ohio. Il is an impossi
ilily for aim 10 have reached the vicinity Of Win.
hester by this time, and have 10 coub, that what
yer troops in that yiciuy must be portion OF
ne recent army of Richmond.
