Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunel
WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1862.
Intelligence reached here through private |
source, which is thought to leave little doubt,
that FRI dericksburg, Maryland, was occupied
by our troops this morning without any en-
eagements. The news comes through q clerk
in one Of the departments, Who has been up
in that r-gion looking after the safety OF his
wife, who had been cut off from Washington
by the rebel invasion. This clerk makes q
positive statement as to the occupation Of
the city By our troops. The suppo5iti3n
seems to be that the rebels had all previously
moved off in a northwesterly direction.
The following facts a1d speculations con
ctrpipg the rebel positions in Maryland lod
Virginia, ard our advance, appear here in n
evening paper: "La5t evening the national
te1cts advanced and occupied the village Of
New Market, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, Eeven miles from Frederick. Yesterday
morning the rebels occupied it in force, Ne
prS sur1e they were not found when our forces
advanced, as NC haye been unable to hear Ut
any collision in that quarter. The rebel array
continues on both sides Of the Potomac. We
+: know that they are apparently ia heavy force
! On The south side, between Nolan's Ferry and
; Hsrpc,'s Ferry. We know, further, that they
! have 1ow 10 forces whatever in tac vicinity of
C,utrerilic and Flirt1S, having withdrawn all
. ,.tir licktts from there. Three or four days
::ce they pickctcd their lines closely from Cen
;rzvillc to Draine5ville.'
The following also appears in an evening
papcr SO Before anything was detlsitelF
known Of the rebel evacuation Of Frederick,
1T ar carly hour yesterday morning, portion
Of one Of our divisions drove the rebels out
II sugar Loaf Mountain, in Frederick county,
slar,laGa, point Of much military import
aEce as commanding large scope Of country
in Ill directions. Some resistance was I'LL ic
by rebels posted there, which Was overcome
l.. few mc!uerts with 4 los: Of not mere
than half dozen killed and wounded Oh or
side Tie rebel loss in the ntflir is unknown.
! 1t rls ascertaincd here last night that in the
ceur=- OF yesterday the rai'e!s were in Fore; at
Boonstcro, some fourteen miles west Of Fred
| cricE. From circumstances within our know:-
tuge, 1.e arc inclined to the belief that they
have already Withdrawn their infantry froln
tie vicinity of Frederick CRY towards Bocn=
hero aud back to the reighborAood Of Ford s.
i'll their rear. We shall therefcr:, nat bt

, Late information fails to con1tm LIZ ,e
;.or;s OF OFT occupation OF Frederick, Tat
statement, however, is regard g. as inner
e1.tly credible, and lack Of information doe
uDt, therefore, cause it to be wholly disc1rl
tied.
