CAPTURE OF A WAGON TRAIN.
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT
WAGONS AND OVER ONE THOUSAND
MULES GOBBLED Up.
THE REBELS IN POSSESSION OF ROCKVILLE
MARYLAND

Yesterday morning, between seven and eight
O'Clock a train, consisting of $50 wagons, each
wagon drawn by six mules, left this city,
having been ordered to join the army at Fred
erick, Maryland. The train was in charge of
Captain Page, and each wagon carried but one
bale OF hay and two bags of grain One hun
dred OF the teamsters were colored men and
the balance whites. The train was sent out
with small escort of cavalrymen
When within few miles OF Rockville, a
c!erg lyman met the head Of the train, and in
formed them that the rebels, 800 strong, had
occupied Rockville that morning; that a train
OF twenty EIGHT wagons and six mules had
been captured by them beyond the town that
morning, and that he (the preacher) had closed
his church and fed as quickly as possible
The train, however, did not appear to heed
this warning, and at about haIf-past twelve
O'Clock, and when the head of the train was
within short distance of the town it was met
by two rebel cayalrymen, who Were evidently
the scouts, but no more rebels were seen, ex-
Cept fifteen or twenty.in the distance
These two rebels captured the entire train
Tor they rode along it until they arrived at the
hindmost wagon, and thus got in the rear of
the train, the fifteen or twenty rebels who had
been seen in the distance in the meantime coming
up. There was not a musket, carbine or pistol
among inns Wnoie company OF teamsters. If
there had been the rebels could have been COM
pletely routed for it is not believed by parties
who were with the train that there were
any more rebels Immediately in Rockville, the
80 reported there by the informant above re.
ferred to having, it is belle we'd, decamped, car
rying with them the provost marshal Of the
town.
Capt Page was at about the middle of the
train, and, as the rebels rode up, he hastily
jumped his horse over the fence and struck for
the woods amid u storm OF bullets, and thus
escaped, and arrived in this city yesterday
evening. The rebels took off with them all of
the mules and horses, and, it is supposed
burned the train, as dense smoke was seen
In that direction by parties returning to WASH
ington. 1t is alleged by those who accompa-
MED The train that an armed guard of len men
could have easily saved the train and driven
the rebels of
i is supposed that the rebel force was ap
Rr!zed by spies Of The coming Of the train, for
30 some gentlemen who accompanied il were
returning, the rebels or Teunallvtown and
other points along IKE road seemed highly
pleased, aud the information of the capture of
the train appeared to be expected by them
few of the teamsters were captured, but
many OF them are known to have escaped, a
few arriving in Washington last night
