Afternoon Report.
The Rebel Invasion of Maryland
Further Particulars


BALTIMORE, July ll-News from Wash
iugton are exciting. The Star says skir-
mishing on Rockville road that cOmmsnc-
ed at an early hour this afternoon was con.
tinued by an advance of the rebel force 10
a point about four miles west of Tenually-
town, then their progress on that road was
stopped, and they dispersed in some other
direction. Subsequently we hear OF them
diminishing between IL and II o'clock on
and around 7th street turnpike near the
Claggett farm and the residence OF F. P.
Blair. 1t is reported to day that the reb-
els burned the residence OF Blair.
There were 800 infantry only in force
encamped at Rockville last night, though
panic stricken refugees arriving to-day
from the vicinity of Edwards Ferry report
rebels crossing north of that point yester-
day and to-day in large numbers. Some
say IL 900 strong, others say $4,000.
Breckenridge is believed to be in com
mand of their advance in this direction and
Imboden commands the cavalry now hang
ing around the Notifications.
All was quiet 10 front of our picket
lines, upon what is known as the river
road, up to noon o-day.
The Star says the numbers and purpose
of the rebel invading force is coufusiugly
conflicting. We give elsewhere opinions
force is not Of sufficient weight to under
take a serious attack upon our tortihca-
tons around Washington, and that it is
not their purpose to do so.
Per contra. We have just received the
following from source of great iRtslli-
gence aud reliability, one that has on re-
peated occasions had the earliest and most
accurate information of the rebel move
ments in Virginia. Information received
from this quarter is as follows:
The rebel army of invasion marcheg
down the valley 45 600 strong, includinn
5000 cavalry under Breckenridge, Imbodeu
aud McCauslsnd.
Lougstreet was at Gordonsville on Tues
day last, with additional forces to join the
rebel army of invasion, aud the purpose of
that army was the attempt to capture
Washington by surprise.
The Virginia Central Railroad is repaired
and running from Richmond to Stanton.
