MORNING LEADER.
THE MARYLAND RAID.
What they Thought in Richmond ,
Last Saturday.
From the Richmond Examiner, July IL.


From the Richmond Examiner, July 10.
Nothing was talked of yesterday but the
invasion Of Maryland, and by two o'clock
in the evening reports were as abundant
and sensational as ever we have known
them. This was the sum and substance of
the stories which were eagerly circulated
with countless variations.
REPORTED oAPTURE OF BALTIMORE.
Baltimore had been eaptured-ffteen
thousand of the natives, armed with brick
bats and bowie-kniyes, having assisted our
troops in the assault.
WASHINGTON CARRIED BY STORM.
Washington, also, had been carried by
storm, and Lincoln and his Cabinet taken
prisoners. This report was asserted to
have been confirmed by New York Her
aid of the l4th instant, which great many
people were willing to swear, or bet all
they were worth, had been received and
read at the War Department. We will
not assert that there Is no truth in the re-
port of the capture of Washington and
Baltimore. Our armies in Maryland are
well calculated to take both places, and
whip every Yankee nor-h ofthe Potomac; I;
but we must contradict the report about
the Herald. No Northern papers of the
l4th had been received in this city up to
seven o'clock last evening, and gsntle-
man who left headquarters at Petersburg
yesterday, informs US that no paper later
than the 18th had been seen there. 1
NO EXCHANGE OF PAIERs-
The most important thing we learned
Yesterday in relation to our affairs in Ma
rvland, and the circumstance that con-
vinesa VI that the work of invasion goes
brayely on, was that the Yankee troops
near Petersburg positively refused to sx-
change papers with our troops, as they
have been Of late in the habit Of doing
If our armies had met with any disaster,
or even check, tbs Yankees would have
been but too eager to furnish US with their
newspaper accounts Of the event.
GwHAT MEAN THOSE oHEERs?"
The Yankees on part Of their line At
Bermuda Hundred made such cheering
and hurrahing yesterday, that our pieketa
called out to them 10 know what was the
matter. They replied that they had just
received intelligence that seven thousand
of our trooPs had been captured in Mary
land This may be regarded as a very
moderate lie, considering the source frep
which it emanated.
TPE LATEST RELIABLE REPOBIS.
The latest authentic intelligence we
have from our troops in Maryland is de-
rived from gentleman who arrived here
last evening, direct from the Relay House
