Concerning the movements of the invad-
ers Sunday, we have this morning abun-
dant though somewhat contradictory &C
counts. 1t was expected at Baltimore
throughout the day that that city was to
be the next object of attack, and every
possible preparation was made for Wig
orous defense. Baltimore would be a
tempting prize for the wandering chival-
ry, but they will have hard work to take
it, or taking it to hold it. Gen. Wallace
will reach it before the rebels, and his O.

who are pouring in from all quarters, will
be more than match for the rebel veterans
in an attempt at storming and capture.
The latest advices, however, indicate that
the movement on Baltimore was only in
tended to conceal the rebel advance was
reported at Rockville, l6 miles from
Washington. From this it would seem
that after driving Wallace from the Mon
ocacy the main body of the rebels took
the Frederick pike to Washington, send
ing out. sufficient force of cavalry to
threaten the city and cut the railroad
connections. They are reported to have
cut the Northern Central railroad, lead
ing from Baltimore to Harrisburgh at
Cockeysville, about 20 miles north of
Baltimore. The same party passed on to-
ward the Philadelphia road, but a con-
siderable force is guarding that road, and
will be able to hold it. If the main
force is marching upon Washington, they
will also attempt to cut the Washington
and Baltimore road, and thus insolate
Washington from the North.
Up to Sunday night there had been
little excitement in Washington. and as
yet no note of alarm had been sounded
from that quarter. 1t is to be supposed
that the government has an apprcciable
idea of the magnitude and danger of the
movement and is fully prepared to meet
it. General Grant is not to be disturbed
at any rate, and whatever dangers threat
en- Baltimore or Washington, they must
be met by citizen soldiery. Grant has
more important work on hand than run
ming after hungry adventures, whose OBJ
jects are primarily to raise the siege Of
their own capital by threatening ours,
and secoudarily to I'll their empty pock-
cts with something better than conteder-
ate scrip. But they will not accomplish
the former object, and day or two, will
end their career in the line of the latter.
The loyal states are able to defend their
capital against 10000 rebels, and they
will do it. The invasion is only an cpl
sode: and it will not diminish our faith
or retard our success.
From the Springfield Republican of Tuesday,
The rebels in Maryland extended their

soldiers captured on the trains, and
among the officers was Major General
