WAR NE WE.

We have give u pretty full account Of the
war news from the Baltimore Ams lean, one oi
the most reliable and able newspapers on our
exchange list. Its account Of what is now
transpiring n Maryland and the Pennsylvania

mere rebel raid and that no considerable force
has yet crossed over. But we shall soon know
their purpose and we trust they will know
