creasing by accessi)ns Of sJraggIers and com
scripts
Whatever may be the intended movements Of
Gen. Lee, he is perfectly successful in keeping
them concealed. Up to Tuesday last our pick
cts extended u to the neighborhood Of llarper's
Ferry
1t is not probable that the federals will vt
tempt to cross the Potomac again at present

BALuMoR, Sept. % The following is from
the american S letter, dated near Sharpsburgh
Sept. %
The Headquarters Of Mcclellan were yester-
day removed three miles nearer llarper's Ferry
This movement may mean something, or it
may have been made merely for convenience
Harper Ferry is now held in large force by
US and it is evidently regarded as an important
point. Gen. Burnslae's corps has not gone to
lIarper's Ferry
The rebel accounts of the last battles create
some disgust, but more amusement among Off.
GERS and soldiers 4 ride from the centre OF
the Army Of the POl0mOc, to its right wing at
" 'ilam' port, gives one an Impressive idea
OF the immense number OF men ana amount o.
material that has been brought together. For
thirteen miles the eye never loses sight Of camps.
