The following Proclamation has been
received. Citizens of Baltimore:-We
have been unwilling to create unnecesSa-
ry alarm in this community, by any aP-
peal for your immediate assistance in re-
sisting the threatened invasion that
might be deemed premature, but we have
no longer such an apprehension, and feel
no hesitation in declaring that in u opin-
ion that the danger which now threatens
the city is imminent and if you would
avert 1t every loyal maj must at once pre-
pare to meet it. The invading enemy is
by the last accounts, approaching the city.
All the men which can be raised are wan
ted to occupy Notifications already com
pleted, and to form others. 1t Is not i'm
portant how you should come. but 1t l
most important that you should come at
once. Come in your leagues. come IN
your military companies, but come IN
crowds and come quickly. Brigadier
General Lockwood has volunteered to
take charge of all the civil forces thus
raised, and has been assigned to that com
mand. The loyal men of every ward will

l p. m, Capt. Adam Elkin. A. Ait. on
Gen. Ricketts, staff and Capt. Paine,
l06th New York, both badly wounded.
Both new regiments and veterans fought
bravely, and gave way only when they
were outhanked. The enemy is severely
punished and it is thought this is the rea-
son why they do not follow up our rear.
The bridge on Western Maryland road
is reported burned.
The cavalry passed through Cockey-
vile this morning, it is supposed to cut
the Philadelphia rail road east of Balti-
more. Precautionary measures are
adopted to prevent this.
WASHINGTON, 10th
Extra, l p. m. says a satisfactory body
of veterans is in position to reach either
Baltimore or Washington before therebels
do.
The large brigade in the Q NJ Depart
ment here are ready for instant service.
Rebels have not crossed at Edwards Fer
re-, as reported. No rebels in the Depart
ment of Washington.
BALTIMORE, 10th, 7 .. m.
The troops engaged in the fight at Mo
nocacy bridge yesterday, formed in line
of battle on the left of the river. On the
right two other regiments were thrown
out as skirmishers. The latter were at
tackled at 7 30 in the morning by cavalry
from the Hagerstown Pike, when they
fell back across the river in good order
and with slight loss, fighting all the way.
After crossing they succeeded checking
the advance of the enemy and held him
here a long time. About 10 A. N. a des-
perate attack was made by dismounted
cavalry which was repulsed, and notwith-
standing they repeatedly tried to dis
lodge our men from the position, these
could not succeed. Their loss here was
very heavy.
BALTIMORE, July l0-5 P. NJ.
The Northern Central Railroad has
been cut near Cockeysville and a bridge
is reported to be burning, supposed to be
the bridge at the Ashland works.
A rebel cavalry force estimated at 800
probably exaggerated, cTossed'the
Northern Central Railroad above Jockeys
vile this forenoon and are going towards
the Philadelphia R. R. They expected
10 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 drivethe raiders off. There are
many wild rumors again afioat this after
noon but the confidence in the abil-
ity of our forces to hold the city is gaining
and there is little excitement. Among
the rumors just started that a portion of
the Rebel force which engaged Gen. Wal
lace yesterday have struck the Washing
ton Road near Laurel Factory but this !
think is incorrect, at all events the tele-
graph line to Washington is as yet unin-
terrupted, and it is believed our troops
are in such a position by this time as to
eiectually protect our communication
with Washington. As a matter of pre-
the valuable records &c. of our
banks and other institutions have been
placed on board a steamer in the harbor
Tor safety.
BALTIMORE, June 10, 6 p. NJ.
Gen. Sigel's wagon train arrived here
in charge of a large detachment
Of infantry and cavalry. One of the off
GERS who was in the fight says that in all
ais experience in this war he has never
seen more desperate lighting, and he
thinks the rebel loss fully as great as
ours. Alexander's battery is all safe.-
Dur loss is about 1000 in prisoners. No
yet made of the killed and
wounded.
BALTIMORE, 10th, 7 P. N. :
1t is reported that the advance of a reb-
81 cavalry force is within Z miles of the
city on the York road.
