BALTIMORE, June l6.-There is much eX-
element here, and there are many rumors of
rebel cavalry being seen at various points
within 20 or 30 miles of this city. Several of
the old military organizations of Baltimore
will, it is thought, be revived Immediately,
and their ranks filled up by volunteers.
There are many military mo, ements in pro-
gress, and rumors of others, but they can not
be mentioned from prudential motives. The
people of Baltimore feel that the effort of the
government to protect Washington will nee
essariy include Baltimore but nevertheless
there are encouraging evidences of a deter
mination on the part Of our people to rally at
once to repel the invasion.
