BALTIMORE, Oct. 7.--Ths extract from
the Richmond papers of the Sd, copied
generally into the New York press, stat
ing that Imboden had recently made
a descent upon the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad is entirely incorrect. No inter-
ruption to the regular freight or passenger
business has occurred since the reopen
ing in August, nor is such n contingency
probable. The temporary large move
ment for the Government has been fully

consequent return from this source, of
empty cars, together with those loaded
with produce bound east, insures for
westward trains prompt despatch.
