The occupation Of Ragerstown is con-
frmed By official dispatches. Three regi-
ments Of cavalry aud two Of infantry are
strongly posted in and around the town.
The fact that the rebel expedition is accom-
Panied BY infantry is a strong indication
thst this force is the advance Of large body,
as such troops are not used for maraudtng
purposes only.
After crossing at Sheppardstown, 1t ap-
pears TINT the enemy passed through sharps-
burg and Turkstown- So sudden WAS their
descent upon HaggerstoHn, that the telegraph
operator was compelled to leave On hand
car, closely purrucd By a cavalry force. He
was in range Of their revo]vers for consiae-
rable time, and only escaped by hard work
at the wheels.
We arc still in communication with State
Line, telegraph station on the franklin
Railroad, seven miles north Of Hagersto En.
The operator there states TINT the rebels in
Haserstown have thrown cut pickets, but as
Jet hare made no further advance
