THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
iSMTGro 9fdrJ! June 3QmThe capture of
morning took place six miles this side the
ferry, as was reported. A careful examina-
ton OF the banks of the Potomac shows that
| there has been no attempt by the rebels re-
Gently to obstruct its navigation, nor are there
ally indications whatever of any such pur-
| pose.
a letter from the army of the Potomac, re-
| celved tonight, says Gen. MeadeS appoint
ment is well received everywhere, and that
he is employed in arranging his plans for the
tnture, ably assisted by the chiefs of the yari-
Gus departments, VINO served under the for
mer commanders of this army. Our troops
are now in position to repel an attack or at
once assume the offensive.
BALTIMORE, June 30.-The American saws,
''we are not at liberty to give the present DO
sition Of the army of the Potomac. Suffice it
to say that both railroad and Geographic COM
munlcation was resumed this morning be-
tween Frederick and Harpers Ferry, and that
the rebel raiders who occupied Montgomery
| county yesterday afternoon, found it necessary
to make a rapid move from those localities.
They also disappeared from Marratsville and
Sykesvile, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, yesterday afternoon, and there was no
enemy last night between the Frederick road
and the Potomac.
Gen. Meade as soon as he took command of
the army issued orders for a general move
ment, and in a few hours relieved both Bal
timore and Washington of all present fear of
rebel invasion. We apprehend there is not
rebel in arms within thirty miles of Bati-
more, and none on this side of the Potomac
within similar distance of Washington.

against known hostiliues and opposition to

affected persons within must be restrained,
and made to contribute to the common safety,
while the enemy in front is to be met and
punished for this bold invasion.

by established in the city and county of Balti-
more, and in ali the counties of the western
shore OF Maryland.

as in time of peace, only in no way inter-
