THE UNITED STATES MARsHAL.-A number
of applications have been made TO the Presl-
dent during the past week in behalf of various
gentlemen for the position OF u. =. Marshal for
the District OF Columbia, in anticipation OF the
resignation OF Col Lamon. Among the names
mentioned in this connection we hear those OF
Mr. Daniel Il. Goodloe, Mr.. f. ID. Webster and
Mr.. VIM. Dixon. The income OF the Office, in-
cluding pay for deputy, now amounts to but
about five or six thousand dollars per year, (at

WHITES GUERRILLAS REPORTED
TO re RAIDING IN MARYLAND.
poolesvilIe Reported to have been Fired.

From parties from the neighborhood of Rock
vile and other portions If Montgomery county.
Md, we learn, that it is reported there that q
body of guerrillas, yariously estimated at from
$50 to 200 strong, crossed the Potomac at
Whites Ferry yesterday afternoon. The guer-
rillas are supposed to be commanded by
White, who knows every foot Of ground in that
section of country.
AT IL o'clock last night report was received
at Rockville that the guerrillas had entered
Poolesville, ransacked the stores, and then
fired the town.
The distance from Whites Ferry to Pooles-
Vile is IL miles, and thence to Rockville Is Is
N lies.
a few days ago a party of rebels appeared
on the other side Of the Potomac, in the neigh
Dor hood of nj uddy Branch, but that point be-
ing guarded by a large force OF our cavalry,
they did not attempt q crossing.
at O'Clock this morning report reached
here from our advanced posts on the Rockville
road, that last evening 1900 mounted rebels
crossed the river at the mouth of the Monocacy
and were advancing on Rockville.
The military authorities here, however, be-
lieve that the number of rebels who have
crossed into Maryland is greatly overrated and
that it is nothing more than a horse stealing
party.
The rebel raid has occasioned considerable
alarm in Montgomery county, and this morn.
ing the farmers living In the vicinity OF Rock
willie were engaged in running their stock off
towards Washington.
Farmers who have arrived here state that
the party of rebels which appeared at Pooles-
willie do not number over one hundred men.
Gen. Harden who commands the troops on
the Rockville road, has sent force in pursuit
of the invaders, and it Is believed that they
will not escape with impunity this time.
