u will cease.

Baltimore, Aug. S.-A gentleman who
arrived this morning from the upper POto-
mac says that the entire rebel force has
evacuated the Maryland side Of the Potomac,
and is now moving of in great haste. Their
rear guard crossed at SheppardstOwn at IL
O'Clock yesterday; the balance crossed at

ward Winchester, with his harvest teams,
during all last week, securing the country
for conscripts aud grain. Information has
since been received that the rebels would
make feint Of movement on Maryland;1
merely to cover Early's return. His trains

The Washington Star has the following
from gentleman who arrived on Saturday
from Hagerstown, where he has been so
ljdurning during the two weeks past: we
get interesting particulars OF the dOings of
the rebels in that vicinity after the rebels
took possession Of the city. They proceed
ed to Institute a thorough search Of the
stores. The merchants had not rcplenished
their stocks since the former visit by the
rebels. They got but little with the ex-
eeption Of small quantity Of shoes and
hats. At the grocery stores they filed
their havcrsacks with sugar and their can
teens with molasscs. At one or two stores
they turned all the molasses out and let il
run into the street A train Of cars was
reported as having been burned BY them,
but il now appears that it was destroyed BY
our troops.
1 New York, Aug. "a special dated
Washington the Sth says: The invasion
panic has subsidcd.
With the recent changes in Maryland
and the present disposition OF our forces II
will not be possible for the rebels to get as
far as the Pennsylvania line, without des-
perate battle in which the odds will be
against him.
Aheayy cavalry force, heretofore under
Grant, is now concentrated on the upper
Potomac, and instead Of a rebel invasion Of
Pennsylvania, ii ismueh more likely to hear
Of the march Of heavy Federal column
down the valley Of the Shenandoah.
Gen. Wright's command, at last accounts,
were at BOOnsboro, north Of the Mountain
Valley.
| The country may rest assured that the
invasion is over for the present.
j Another special says that the rebel move
ment on the upper Potomac was feint to
cover the sending, It is supposed, of not
less than 10000 Of Lees veterans to rein
force Atlanta. % Much apprehension is
felt in regard to the matter.
| Special dispatches say that Grant has re.
turned from the upper Potomac and started
for City Point.
