THE REBEL INVASION.

BALTIMORE, June 2I-Noon.
The rebels made their appearance at
Frederick about five O'Clock yesterday
evening, and about seven o'clock body of
cavalry reached Monocacy bridge, four
miles this side of Frederick.
The rebels paroled all the sick in bospi-
! tails, and all Government employees.
They searched the stables for horses
and seized all that were marked az. s."
A very large force of rebel infantry,
cavalry and artillery crossed at Antietam,
during yesterday.
Refugees say they 10000 to $4,000; but
the pickets report them at 25, 900.
Earthworks are being erected arnnnd
the West and North sides of Baltimore,
thus completing the chain of fortifcations.
| A line Of barricades has been erected
within the city, extending from the high
ground on the East to the Southwestern
extremity of the city. These will be de-
Tended by Union League men, who are be-
ing armed by General Schenck.
The Union men are entirely confident
that the rebels will not be so rash as to
attempt a raid in that direction.
The disloyal men among US are evident
" uneasy, and begin to realize that any
hostile movement Of their friends against
Baltimore might react disastrOusly upon
themselves.
A special to the Herald, dated MOnOcacy
Station, Maryland, the 2lst, says About
four o'clock this afternoon Major Cole, of
the 1st Maryland cavalry, made gallant
dash into Frederick with 40 men, driving
out the enemy, killing two and capturing
one. There was no loss on our part. Our
cavalry passed through the city, and i'm
mediately after about $50 rebel cavalry re-
occupied the town.
Rebel cavalry entered Frederick yester-
day afternoon about five o'clock, and dash
ed furiously through the city, capturing
nine of our Zen who were on duty at the
signal station, and paroled the invalid
soldiers, numbering about GO, who were in
the hospitals.
A number of horses were seized.
Secession flags were displayed at the
Central Hotel, and some citizens collected
there to welcome the rebels. The majority
of the people evinced no pleasure at the
visit. The ladies were exceedingly express
| ing in their demonstrations of disgust
and showered words of sympathy upon our
prisoners as they passed through the
streets
The party which entered the city did
not number over twenty-many Of these
50 intoxicated as to reel in their saddles
Pickets were stationed outside the town,
and none were allowed to leave till mid
night, when the cavalry all left going to-
ward Middlebown.
This morning they entered the city again
and established pickets in the outside.
: The telegraph poles were cut down and
the wires destroyed. 1t is supposed there
. is about that there are about thirty rebels
I in the town this afternoon.
The enemy mas no force between Freder-
ick and Boonsboro, except small cavalry
camp at MiddletoWn.
No attempt has been made TO destroy
the bridge over Monocacy river, although
the enemy came down last night within q
few rods of the Junction.
The rebels are reported TO be fortifying
South Mountain. They have in the vicin-
, itv of Williamsport about 6,000 infantry,
900 cavalry and few pieces OF artillery
A squadron of cavalry could undOubted-
ly capture this entire force this side Of
I South Mountain.
I The rebels appear very uneasy, and will
probably vacate the town tonight. All is
quiet.
