a gun was heard.
2 Parties from Montgomery county, Md, report
that body Of guerilla cavalry, estimated At from
one hundred and fifty 10 two hundred, crossed
the Potomac at Whites ferry, six miles above
Edwards ferry, yesterday afternoon. The gue-
rillas are Supposed to be commanded by Colonel

PoolcsyiIe is eleven miles, and thence to Rock
vile is eighteen miles.
few days ago a party of Rebel cavalry ap-
pcared on the south side Of the Potomac in the
ncighborhood of Muddy Branch, but that point
being guarded by large force Of our cavalry,
they did not attempt a crossing.
At o'clock this morning areport reached here
that, last evening, two thousand mounted Rebels
crossed the river Rt the mouth Of the MonocoCy,
and were moving in the direction Of Rockville.
| The military authorities here, however, believe
that the number Of Rebels is greatly overrated,
and that It is nothing more than a horse-stealing
raid.
The Rebel raid has occasioned considerable
alarm in Montgomery county, and this morning
the farmers in the vicinity Of Rockville were en-
gagged in running their stock Oft towards Wash
ngton.
General Harden, in command on the Rock
willie road, has sent force in pursuit Of the raid
crs, and 1t is believed they will not get Off with
impuniiy, or much plunder, this time

special train consisting of two cars.

tion of Marshal LamOn-Mr. Jenkins, of Bald-

O'Clock, the friends of the deceased commenced

son. After the family and friends had taken q
last look at the features of the deceased the lid
