the MARYLAND INVASION
The Latest from Fr> derrick.
Runered Movement On Hagerstewn
fHEIR PROBABLE DESTINATION
The DEFENCE Of Baltimore.
The Baltimore AMERICAN of last evening
gives the latest news from what 10 now th'
most important locality Of the war. We Civ
the account below.
II will be seen that the amount Of store
destroyed ct Frederick Is 5000, instead o
>6,ooo,OOo. We gave che statement Is rumoI
merely.
The account the American gives Of quarrel
among the generals must be taken with som,
allowance. There b . good deal Of that sor
Of gossip sHost about our streets. PerhspI
these stories will be unraveled by court
martial some day. ,rf.
The excitement In the city hes greatly
abated, owing to the fact generally known
among the people. that the most ample prepa.
rations have been made BY the Government
authorities 10 intercept any movement In the
direction Of Baltimore.
This morning General Kenly received his sp.
pointment 10 the command OF . brigade Of
troops to be used In the defence Of Baltimore.
The wcll.known energy Of General Kenly,
his superior local knowledge Of all that per-
tains 70 Baltimore, makes this appointment q
most admirable one. No general could be ap.
pointed 10 post more In accordance with bis
personal feelings than the defence Of bis native
city from the tread OF the Invader.
Latest from Frederick,
A gentleman, who left Frederick yesterday
A noon, reports the most perfect quiet and
good order ~ prevailing 10 the city. There
had been no invasion OF private rights, though
soue Of the rebel citizens seemed disposed to
urge such course on the part Of the s0ldiery.
Bradley johnson was 10 command as pro-
vost marshal, and was running about among
the citizens preaching conoiiiation and kind
ness. His constant declaration was that we
want II TO be understood that We are Southern
gentlemen, and not uarauders."
There was but one regiment In the city, and
that was composed principally OF Aarylanders.
General jackson was not In the city, all the
troops there being under the command OF
General Hill, who occupied the house Of Gen.
Cooper as his headquarters.
Our informant states that he does not think
that the troops that had marched through
Frederick exceeded fifteen thousand in mum
ber, though they gave 1t out that they com
posed merely the advance guard OF one hun
drsd and fifty thousand men that were to follow
them.
1t is also rumored that Bradley johnson, as
ahal vh tha olr -
Frederick with small national fsg tied 10 his
spurs.
The only interference with citiEens Of Fred
erick was In the case Of the postmaster, who
was seized and made TO give up all the Gov
srnmsnt funds In bis possession.
The whole value Of the hospital and other
Government stores destroyed at Frederick by
Marshal Faithful did not exceed $4,000, In.
stead Of $5,O0O,0 900 as stated by the Washing.
ton Republican. It consisted principally of old
blankets, tents and harness. All the most val.
liable stores were removed.
The Course Of the Rebels.
The latest intelligence from Frederick indi-
Gates that the main body Of the rebel army
after pHssiug out on the Emmittsburg road
some ten miles, took q road 70 tho right lead.
Ing direct TO Hagcrstown, st which place II ID
said tho advance arrived this morning. There
Is said to be Federal force iu the vicinity oi
Hsgerstown, and there may be q fight there.
The impression Is now gaining ground ths,
the rshal movement L. merely raid into Ma
ryland, intended to draw the great body ol
veteran troops from Washington iu their pur-
suit, whilst the maiu rebel army makes o dash
on the works In front Of Washington The fact
that the troops that passed through Frederick
have gone west to Hagerstown would indicate
. probable purpose on their part 10 dash back
Into Virginia by way Of Willisinsport and Mar.
tinsburg, They would thus obtain sli the boots
shoes, and clothing in the two cities Of Frsder
ick and HagerstoHn, probably secure some
arms that have been accumulated for them BY
rebel sympsthizers, with cattle and provender
and other supplies
Others, equally well informed, think that tho
movement oD Hagerstown 10 10 compel th<
evacuation OF Nartinsburg, and leave an open
road for the main body Of the rebel army pre-.
pairing to cross the Maryland line In that direc
tion, from whence they will move through tht
Chambsrsburg Valley towards Harrisburg.
Picksss Towards Baltimore.
The movements Of the rebels 90 far toward
Baltimore, consisted In the stationing Of
picket guard yesterday within seven miles o
Westminster, which caused very genera
stampede Of the citizens from that town. They
remained there during the day yesterday, ant
are reported to have disappeared during Ii,
night.
Another picket appeared on The Freiericl
road yesterday, at Poplar Springs thirty ID,
miles from Baltimore, and about eighteel
miles this side of Frederick. They stoppet
there during the afternoon, and started back IL
the evening iowarde Frederick.
No feara need be entertained by our citizen
Of rebel raid towards Baltimore, az ever,
precaution has been taken for their intercep
ton and destruction, let the force be what
may.
Incidsnts at Frederick.
1t Ia said that the entire stock ut boots an,
shoes in Frederick were bought out by th
rebels, who lett behind them some good none,
and some shocking bad money. The store
keepers, Of course, did not dare TO refuse wha
was offered them.
So far as we can ascertain they allowed fre
ingress and egress 10 and from the town. Tn
pickets on the road appear to have been sta
toned merely to watch military movement
aud paid no attention 10 civilians.
Do Friday evening, before the appearance
OF the rebels, there was considerable Of a dis
! turbsnoe in Frederick. Some parties con
nected with the Citizen newspaper cheered o.
the streets for jeff Davis In tho exnberance {
their joy, and were knocked down by citizen,
The provost guard interfered, and maj
named Lawson, ons Of the propristors of th
Citizen, wss knocked down with the butt OF
musket and considerably injured. Anothe
man named Yeackle WAS also badly cut.
