Proclamation by Gov. Bradford,
of MaryIand.

BALTIMORE, July 9-Midnight.-The fol-
lowing proclamation has been issued:
Citizens Of Baltimore: We have been un-
willing to create unnecessary alarm in this
community by any appeal for your imme-
diate assistance in resisting the threatened
invasion that might be deemed premature,
but we have no longer such an apprehen-
sion, and feel no hesitation in declaring that
in our opinion that the danger which now
threatens the city is imminent, and if you
would avert it every loyal man must at
once prepare to meet it. The invading
enemy is, by last accounts, approaching the
city. Men, all the men which can be raised
are wanted to occupy Notifications already
coiiipleted and to form others.
1t is not important how you should come,
but it is most important that you should
come at once. Come in your leagues, come
in your military companies; but come, in
crowds, and come quickly.
Brig. Gen. Lockwood has volunteered to
take charge of al the civil forces thus
raised, and has been assigned to that COM
mand. The loyal men of every ward will
assemble at their usual places of ward
meeting, and report forthwith to Gen.
Lockwood at his headquarters, No. 81
North street. .-. 20.

Great Excitement I'm baltimore
The Union League Being Armed.

BALTIMORE, July 0, 0P. Nit may, with
out exaggeration, be said to-day that we
are having something of an excitement
All day the streets have been teeming with
rumors from the front. In the city active
arrangements are being made in anticipa-
tion of an emergency which it is confident
ly believed is only barely possible, not prob
able. The Loyal Leagues are being armed
and the defensive works strengthened
The Government needing more horses inn
mediately, are confiscating all able-bodied
horses, and especially the fast blooded
horses of the disloyal. Passes arc required
to leave the city, and vigilant watch is
being instituted on the movements of sus-
pected parties, who are supposed to be seek
ing opportunities to communicate with the
enemy. AT last accounts we still held our
own at Monocacy. 1t is understood that
there has been some fighting, and our peo-
pie feel confident that General Wallace and
the troops, now concentrating against the
enemy will render good account Of them
selves.

Progres. of 1I,e Taiders.

BALTIMORE, July 10, A. M.-Enemy
now reported at Elliott's Mills, but as tele-
graph works to Marrattsville, which is be-
yond, this is doubted.
10 A. M.-The party at Reistentown Is
said to be small. 1t is reported that bridge
was burned on the Northern Central Rail
road. Wallace is retreating toward the
city. The city is alive with volunteers fol
its defence.
1890 A. Mt is reported at headquar.
ters that the Northern Central Railroad is
torn up, but it is not stated where. We also
have report that the main body of the
rebels are making for Washington.
/ L. M.-Latest accounts from the front
! report that our forces have fallen back from
! Monocacy to the vicinity of Monoevia
Our forces burned the turnpike bridge
over the Monocacy. No particulars of the
fight are yet received. Capt. Adam Elkim,
A. A. G. on Ricketts, staff, and Capt
Payne, of the 106th N. Y, are both badly
wounded. Both new regiments and vete-
rams fought bravely, and gave way only
when outhanked. The enemy was severe
ly punished, and it is thought this is the
reason why they do not follow up our rear.
Union bridge, on tho Western Maryland
road, is reported burned. Cavalry passed
through Cockeysville this morning, it is
SuppOScu w CuJ JIlt IdllIUdu
cast tof Baltimore. Precautionary measures
were adopted to prevent thss.
BALTIMORE, July 10, p. M.-The North
ern Central railroad has been cut near
COckeycville. and bridge is reported burn
ing, supposed to be the bridge at the Ash
land Works. A rebel cavalry force, esti-
meted fifteen hundred strong, probably ex-
aggerated, crossed the Northern Central
railroad above Cockeyeville this forenoon,
and are going toward the Philadelphia rail-
road.
They expected to reach there before night
and cut that road or destroy one of the
bridges, but it is hoped that the force
now guarding the road in that direction
will be strong enough to drive the raiders
off. There are many wild rumOrs again
aflOat this afternoon, but the confidence in
the ability of our forces to hold the city is
gaining, and there is less excitement.
Among the rumOrs just started is one
that portion of the rebel force which en-
gagged Gen. Wallace yesterday have struck
the Washington road near Laurel Factory;
but this, think, is incorrect. At all events
the telegraph line to Washington is as yet
uninterrupted, and it is believed our troops
are in such position by this time as to eff
fectively protect our communication with
Washington. As q matter of precaution the
valuables, records, ETC., of our banks and
other institutions have been placed on
board steamer in the harbor for safety.
