A. G. CURTIN"
The Baltimore Clipper says: ave learn
from good authority that the secessionists in
Baltimore are daily or rather nightly, sending
to the rebel army near Frederick loads of
goods, shoes. clothing, &c. The road is lined
with vehicles loaded with articles of this kind
as high as fifty of a night, and all furnished
by the rebel sympathizers here. We demand
OF those who have authority to look to this
matter forthwith
URBANA, Nd, Sept. 12th-EreNing.
learn through one Of our correspondents that
Gen. Pleasanton reported this afternoon that
the cavalry under his command crossed the
Monocacy on Thursday near the Potomac.
They found no enemy in force but saw train
OF wagons with a large guard, proceeding in
the direction of Frederick. There is no doubt
that the troops under Gen. Stonewall Jack
son and Longstreet who were at Frederick
have gone to Hagerstown. Gen. Hills di-
vision left Adamstown yesterday, and is on
its way towards the Point of Rocks. Sugar
Loaf Mountain was occupied on that day by
our forces. The rebel signal officers were
captured.
-Four regiments rebel cavalry and one bat
terry, under Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, who were
located at New Market, evacuated that
point at five o'clock Thursday afternoon.
Everything shows that the rebels are leaving
the Monocacy for Hagerstown. What are
the intentions of the rebels is unknown, but
the impression is that they will not leave the
state without a fight. If the rebels do not
dispute our passage of the Monocacy we shall
be in Frederick tomorrow. If they want to
fight all they have to do is to wait till we
come up to them. All our men are in good
spirits, and have no doubt as to the result
when they meet the enemy.
The rebel encampment is within eight
miles of Frederick. No rebels were to be
found by our accommodating cavalry on
Thursday morning. Yesterday afternoon our
cavalry entered Frederick, and found it de-
serted by the rebels. Our forces have been
very kindly treated by the people of Freder.

HARRISBURG, sSept. l3.-The rebels claim
that they have an army of ninety thousand
men in Maryland, and also that they have al
army of 225 900 men in Virginia, with which
they intend menacing Washington while thC
army of Maryland sacks the borders and in
vades Pennsylvania.
THE REBELS AT HAGERSTOWN.
CHAMBERsBURG, Sept. 13-ll P. M.-Tht
rebels entered Hagerstown at about nine
O'Clock this morning. They proceeded a
once to the railroad depot and seized twelve
hundred barrels of -four. They also com
menced to tear up the track near the depot
The party consisted of about three hundred
rebel cavalry, but much larger force was
supposed to be close behind. Many of the
inhabitants are reported as having welcomed
the invaders with greatest delight-the fe.
males by waving secesh flags and handker-
chiefs, while the male sympathizers caused
the arrest of all Union men. The rebels also
took possession of such stores as were pointed
out to them as belonging to Union men, anC
placed guards over them.
The rebels are said to be gathering in large
supplies of goods of which they stand greatly
in need. Some who have been captured say
they have almost been starved and that l
they did not get supplies at once from this
side of the Potomac, their army would no
remain together long, as they were tired o
fighting without anything to eat. The UniteC
States marshal, sheriff, and other officials, LET
Hagerstown when the rebels entered the
place, bringing away all the valuables in theil
several offices. Hundreds of citizens alsC
left the place, and the road for miles wa;
lined with every description Of vehicles, flieC
with men principally, as they were more
afraid of being forced to take the oath OF al
legiance to the southern cOntederacy, or oi
being carried off to Richmond, than Of losing
their property. This town is filled with run
awayS, all very much excited, and each one
telling what he saw and heard of the move
mentS OF rebels.
Citizens who arrived to-day from Williams
port say that very large rebel army is a
that point, and it is supposed they intenC
crossing there. The people are leaving thel
homes throughout that entire section OF coun
try, and crowdng up this way towards Har
risburg; but it is expected the rebels will soor
be driven out, as large bodies of troops are
expected here soon from the noIthward, under
the call of Gov. Curtin. The Anderson cav
airy are supplied with horses and other equip
ments, and when they are prepared to TAKE
the field we shall no doubt receive good ac
count of them, as they are one of the fines
regiments in service. Nothing has beer
heard from HagerstOwn up to O'Clock thi'
evening, and it is believed the rebels will no
come this side of that place.
HARRISBURG, Sept. 13.-At Green Castle
and Chambersburg, this morning, heavy artil-
lery firing was heard in the direction Of Viii
Transport The main body of the rebels dc
not appear to have gone to Hagerstown. Gen.
Iongstreet's division, numbering from 10000
TO 10000 men, is only there apparently to
supply forage and supplies for the balance of
the rebel army which is at Boonsboro. OuI
Dckets have been driven in to the state line
State troops continue to arrive and leave for
Chambersburg as fast as transportation can
he afforded. Gen. Lee is said to be at Ha-
gerstown.
