LATER FROM FREDERlcK,
Attenpss Of Lees Army to cross the Poto-


FREDERICK, July S.-Informatlon 8. which can
be relied upon, comes from the front this morn
ing, Of the following purport:
The rise In the Potomac has checked the ad-
vance Of the rebel army. A small portion of
Lees transportation has crossed on RATS at
Williamsport and sheppardstown, and his
stock swan over.
His ambulance trains with wounded have
also crossed, but his supply trains, artillery,
infantry. and cavalry are reported to be nearly
all on this side.
His first line Of battle has been formed on
the "Antietam fields" Should this prove
true, and II Is certain that he cannot receive re-
Inducements, he will be compelled to trust
the fate Of his army to the srbitrament OF a
bloody field.
Our forces are gradually penetrating in that
direction, and the next few hours are pregnant
with the fate Of thousands and the welfare Of
our colntry.
Hopes Of auuih!latlus the entire rebel army
OF Virginia are bright.
