seon after crossed into Maryland, and then di-
rectly threatened Washington and Baltimore,
while they occupied the soil of q 10 al STATE,

Wearied by long marches, deficient in various
supplies, worn out by numerous battles, the
last OF which had been successful, first verrd
by lis movements, the important cities OF
Washington and Baltimore then boldly at
tackled the victorious enemy in their chosen
strong position, and drove them back, with all
their superiority of numbers, into the State OF
Virginia, thus saving the loyal States from
invasion, and rudely disprlIing the rebel
dreams OF carrying the war into our country
and subsisting upon our resources Thirteen
guns and thirty nine colors, more than fif.4 N
