HBALTINoRE, July 27.-our morning papers
have very little news, and nothing definite from
points along the Upper Potomac. No additional
news has reached us this morning, except some
reports that the Rebels have evacuated Martins
burg, and that no armed Rebels have yet crossed
the Potomac into Maryland. A large force is
understood to be on the south side of the Poto-
mac, not far from Harper's Ferry.
General Wallace feels confident of success in his
knowledge of affairs, but forbids the publication
ofexciting rumors, or even facts, that might give
the movements of troops. The impression still
prevails that the Rebels purpose invading the
Cumberland valley Of Pennsylvania for plumber
In the absence of published fresh rumors there
is less excitement here. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad runs to Harper's Ferry regularly, and
the telegraph also works. Although the aspect
is less threatening, 1t may be only the calm be-
fore the storm.

FREE MARYLAND
Congratulatory Visit to Presi-
dent Lincoln.
HE is COMPLIMENTED FOR
HIS DISCRETION.
THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

WASHINGTON, November l7.-Ths afternoon
the Maryland Union State Central Committee
formally called upon President Liacolu to con-
gratu'atc him on his reelection.
Mr.. W. H. Puruell, Chairman, in his address,
said they felt under deep obligations 20 him,
because, by the exercise or rare discretion on his
part, Maryland to-day occupies the proud posi-
ton OF a free State, and they desired that his
future administration Of the Government, as in
the past, might result in the restoration OF the
Union with universal freedom as It's Immaculate
basis.
The President, in reply, said he would not
attempt TO conceal his qualification with the
result of the election. lie had exercised his best
judgment for the good of the whole country, and
to have the seal Of appreciation placed on his
course was exceedingly grateful to his feelings.
He expressed his belief that the policy he had
pursued was the best, and the only one which
could save the country.
lie repeated what he had said before, that Ire
INDUCED in no feelings Of triumph over any one
who had thought or acted differently from him
self He had no such feeling towards any living
man.
He thought the adoption Of q free State Con-
stitution for Maryland was "a big thing" and a
victory for the right worth great deal more
than the part Of Maryland in the election,
although of the latter he thought we'll, too.
In conclusion, he repeated what he had pre-
yiously said namely, "Those who differed from
and opposed us will see thRt their defeat was
better for their own good than if they had been
successful"
Some time was spent in pleasant intercourse,
the President relating several anecdotes appr1-
| pirate to the occasion.
