The Rebel Invasion of MARYLAND.

| The news from Maryland is exciting. An
official dispatch from General Wallace states
| that battle took place between the forces
under his command and the rebels at Mono
cacye on Saturday, continuing until 5 o'clock
| ?. NJ. Our forces were overpoWered by su-
perior numbers and forced to retreat in dis
order. Brig. Gen. Taylor was taken pris-
oner. Our losses were severe. The enc
mys forces are estimated at 10000.
Later advices report that Gen. Wallace
has continued falling back, the rebels follow
| ing at a safe distance.
On Sunday morning the city of Baltimore
was startled by the ringing of bells, and
proclamations were read to the citizens from
| the Mayor and Governor, calling for organ
ization, for the defense of the city. Intense
excitement prevailed, which was increased
at alater period Of the day by wild reports.
Couriers announced that the rebel cavalry
were approaching the city along the line Of
the Northern Central Railroad, and others
from the Relay House reported that the enc
my was in force at Ellicott's Mills, ten miles
on the Frederick Pike; and others still that
the rebel force was moving toward Washing
ton. Under the excitement persons were I'M =
pressed upon the streets, and whole crowds
were ordered TO fall in, ''and the order was
accompanied by the bayonet." The proola-
nation Of Gov. Bradford calls for men, who
are not tostand upon the order of their COM
ing, but to come in crowds and come quickly.
The report says that the main body Of
the enemy were marching on Washington,
and that the rebel cavalry passed through
'Cockeysville on Sunday morning, who it is
cut the Philadelphia Railroad, east
of Baltimore.
An extra dated ?. NJ. Sunday, says
satisfactory body Of veterans are i'll position
to reach Baltimore or Washington before the
rebels do. There were no rebels in the de-
partment of Washington at.
A dispatch from Baltimore dated the 10th,
2. M, says Gen. Sigel's train arrived there
that day in charge of large detachment of
infantry and cavalry. One of the officers
who was in the fight says i'll all his expert
ence he has never seen more desperate fight
ing, and he thinks the rebel loss was as
great as ours. Our loss in prisoners is about
1000; there has been no estimate Of tie
killed and wounded
1t is impossible at this time to give any
thing like definite account of matters in
Maryland, and around Washington. For a
week past reports have come thick, and fast,
but only to be contradicted by tie next re-
port.
One thing seems to be certain, and that is
that there is quite large force Of rebels in
Maryland plundering, robbing and destroy
ing, WITH apparently, up to this time, little
opposition or noIestation. There have be en-
rumors Of the capture of Washington
Annapolis, and Baltimore, but they have in
turn been contradicted. The force of the
rebels is reported any where from Is, 900 to
so, 600 strong. 1t is said that we are fast
a force that will not only pre-
vent any attack of the rebels upon the Cap
itaI, but make it difficult for them to get
back into Virginia.
Latest accounts say that our forces hold
and Harpers Ferry.
