the Collectors Of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, It'll, Sth

TIE EXCITEMENT AT FREDERICK.

On Friday evening information was re.
ceived at Frederick of the fact that a party OF
rebel cavalry and artillery were at White Oak
Springs and that they were collecting cattle
and sheep from the farmers of the surround
ing country. The announcement of course
created great excitement in Frederick
especially as it was understood that Bradley
johnson was with the rebel force. Previous
to this information, having been received on
Friday, number Of prominent Secessonist
had whispered to some OF their loyal relatives
and acqnaintunces that Frederick would be in
the possession Of the rebel troops be fore
twcnty-four hours, that they had positive
information of the fact. This intimaion had
previously occasioned considerable excite
ment, and many Unionists who placed con-
Hdcnce in the sources Of information Of these
sympahizers had made their preparations to
leave with their wives and children.
The military forces in Frederick consist of
but one company, under command of CAPITA in
Faithful, the Provost Marshal, and Of course
no attempt could be made to defend the city
from attack. The prominent Unonists hav
ing the dread of a Richmond prison before
them, and knowing all resistance to be USE
less, expected no mercy from the notorious
Bradley Johnson. Under this condition of
affairs there was of course great commotion
during the evening, and Marshal Faithful
having satisfied himself Of the near approch
of an overwhelming rebel force, at once made
preparations to evacuate the place.
At midnight, having loaded the wagons at
bis command with the most valuable of his
stores, and left sufficient for tho supply of
the hospitals, in which there was about six
hundred patients, applied the torch to the
balance, destroying them rather than allow
them to fall into the hands of the enemy.
This contiagration, Of course increased the
excitement, and every vehicle that could he

Our County Commissioners, in company

the Cecil volunteers in these two regiments.
$4,000 of which was sent home by the sol,

THE PEOPLE OF MONTGOMERY.
A correspondent of the New York World,
writing from Darncstown, Montgomery Co.,
says:
Nearly all the people in tho vicinity OF

Many families are feeding our troops with
fruit and milk, gratis; and others, while talk.
ing pay, are perfectly reasonable in their
charges. For instance, a peck of peaches
were sold yesterday for Il quarter. A Vir-
ginia rebel would have eXtorted a dollar for
the same. There may be some Secessionists
remaining, but they have been pretty thor
oughly weeded out during the past year,
especially since the enrolment of the militia
The story of the Philadelphia Press that
the people Of Poolsvie gave the rebels such
warm greeting and supplied them SO boun.
tifully is almost entirely false. Individual
cases of such conduct there may be, bnt even
these are rare. and the people are only too
glad to get rid of the presence Of the rebel
hordcs, instead of inviting or urging them to
stay

but just as soon as the arrival Of their rein

COLUMBUS. Quo, September 9.-The or.
der Of Judge Advocate Turner does not
announce au abandonment Of the draft or
in any way affect it, as is generally sup
posed, but was issued only TO abolish the
pass system. The quota Of volunteers is
raised, but that Of drafted militia Is not.
This distinction between the two calls
should be borne in mind in the interpre.
,ation OF the order. Unless the quota Of
militia is rapid, by the 18th the deGcien-
cy will be filled by draft, There is no
escape.
Bonds are still required by our State
authorities from persons leaving the State,
as the necessity for them is as great now
as before the enrolment was completed,
The Judge Advocate would have seen this
on moments reflection. There will be
only six Provost Marshals in the State,
instead Of one for each county, as hereto
fore announced. They will be authorix
ed, however, to appoint deputies. They
have been appointed as follows; J. L.
