THE ADVSETDBE3 OF GEORGE SANDSES THE ' .V -
SEES OUTWITTED-
A correspondent of the New Y ork Evening Post
thus relates the adventures of G-- N. Sanders:
Niagara Falls, Aug. 20, J here have
been severs! brief accounts of the successful pas
sage across the Canada frontier of George N .han
der.-i, rebel emissary to Europe, bat the lollowi.-jg
statement, gathered Ironi those who personally
witnessed the adventure in its various stages, gives
the fullest details:
A lew days ago, a man dressed in well worn
working clothes presented himseit to the United
•Stales Provost Marshal ou the United States side
of the Suspension Bridge, tie wore a pair ot
vi ,y short trowsers of striped Kentucky jean, and
a seedy coat of the same material. A coarse, not
over clean shirt, and a jagged straw hat comple
ted the costume. The man had no collar or era
rat, and his face was apparently greatly tauned
by exposure to the w eather.
Uu wanted to go over the river, he said, but had
no pass, and did not know that any would be
needed. He at.ted that he was an Engbshraan
Ironi Cornwall, and a miner by trade. He had
been Wi rking lor some tune in Pennsylvania, but
had lately received a letter from his brother, a
tanner, near London, Canada West, stating that
he was short ot help, and urging his miner re a
lives to come on to his assistance, at least t 11 the
ba vest lime was over.
The miner held his tools in one hand, and in the
other carried an old carpet hug of the black glazed
tyle in common use. The glazing in many places
had cc.iue off, and the outside was, moreover,
spotted and soiled with dirt.
The carpet big was more valuable than the
famous one of John Brown; for it contained the
papers, despatches and money ot the Rebel emis
sary .Sanders.
The Marshul pondered awhile, but the poor
miner gave Buch a consistent story and seemed so
disappointed at his unexpected trouble in cross
ing, that the otlicial’s heart was melted, and he
gave him the required pass.
“Two atiiitings 1” said the miner; “why, I cau’t
give it. I’ve only got one shilling.’’
This pica of poverty completely disarmed what
ever shadow of suspicion may have existed iu re
gard to the poor workman. After the proper de
gree of hesitation, the “fellow"’ was allowed to
pass over at half price.
Thanking the toll keeper for his liberality, the
miner walked on wearily across the bridge. As
be neared the Canada side his step became lighter
-jost as Christian (pardon the comparison) felt
when the burden dropped old his back. A decided
burden had dropped ott Cleo. N. Sanders’ mind;
be was safe iu Canada.
Arriving at the Canada side of tho bridge, the
miner, with bis tools and carpet bag, jumped into
the Clilion House omnibus, and waaquickly driveu
to that famous hotel. He went to the desk aud
registered ou the book the initials 8. N. o.—bis
ow.i initials reversed.
The clerk looked at the shabby working man a
moment, uud then coldly said—
’ We can’t give you a loom here, sir.”
“But 1 must have u room,’’ said Sanders.
“N’oue to spare to night," replied the clerk. ‘
The miner thrust hia hands iu his pocket and
drew forth a great roll of “green backs.”
“Here,” said he to the clerk', “take these as se
curity. Put them i.in your safe; but give me a
room at once.”
Os course money has its c-UVcUn Clifton House
as everywhere else. The clerk hesitated.
“Is there any place about here where I can get
a respectable suit of clothes V” asked the miuer,
dropping his Cornish dialect.
There was no place nearer than the bridge, a
mile distant. .So the miner again insisted on
having the room and as it was obvious that
“things were not as they seemed,” he was ehovvu
to a suitable apartment.
A few minutes afterwards a guest strolled out
on the piazza, where ex Gov. Morehead, of Ken
tucky, was sitting. “By the wuy. Governor,”
said he, ‘what a singular old fellow that was iu
the office. Ho registered his name on the book
only in initials.”
“Good God 1 in initials I” cried Morehead, start
ing up, “he’s come then ;” and, rushing passed
the astonished guest, he demanded to be shown
to the room of the mysterious S. N. O.
Other rteoeseiowirtie ulao hastened hither. San
ders was at ouco provided with a suit o clothes,
the cl rks and servants altered their deportment
to the quondam miner, tiud the guests hud a rare
piece of gossip to talk about. Handers is by this
time halfway across the ocean, and whatever is
thought of him or big cause, it is generally ac -
knowledged that his journey from Richmond to
Canada is one o ! the "cutest specimens of rebel
strategy” the war las pioduoed. It shows that
our blockade is so stringent that a rebel emissary
prelors a long laud journey in disguise to attempt
ing to break it.
01 course, the adventure has been the chief to
pic ot gossip in the Ni gars hotels; and miners
will henceforth he viewed with a very profound
suspicion in the neighborhood of the Suspension
Bridge.
Adjutant General Coofek has issued the follow,
iug order, which we hope will put a stop to the
usurpations of some of our military dignitaries :

We clip the following letter, dated Murfreesboro’
Teuu., Sept. 11, from the Chattanooga Rebel :
Editor Ethel .*—l have just time to write you a
line.
Buell, after ovaoualing Nashville, attempted to
retreat acroeß the river and into Kentucky, but
finding he was cut olf by the army under Gen.
Bragg, which had crossed the river above previ
ously, his retreating force turned and came buck
to Nashville.
There is some doubt here as to their future
movements, hut one thiug is curtain, they have
10,000 or 12,000 stolen negroes at work on the
fortifications at Nashville. These negroes are
literally starving to aeath, and many of them are
running away and endeavoring to get hack 10 their
masters.
1 have attended two public meetings—one at
Wiuchestvi -.11111000 at Shelbjvilla, The latter
was a rousing meeting, and everywhere the erv
is, "let the lust man die rather tliuu see the Van
dals enter our country aguin !”
Tennessee is lully aroused, wherever 1 huve
been, and, 1 have no doubt, w ill, almost to a man,
sustain General Bragg iu the business of crushing
this vast army of thieves and robbers.

FuiiiT Expected at tub Gap on* ihh 10th—Fed
krais on Short Ration's, etc —A correspondent
of the Columbus Enquirer, writing from Camp of
Hilliard's Legion, neur Ciimhorlaud Gap, Sept.
K’th, says :
The Federate iu the Gap were busy building t>ve
large batteries ye.terday, aod they completed
them just at night. W arm times are asucipated
here to-day. It is supposed they will commence
shelling us some time to-day A baud of them
attacked our pickets night before last, just about
midnight. They killed one of Col. Wood’s 49th
Alabama regiment, but our pickets succeeded iu
tiking six prisoners. We also drove out 15 or
_ i head of their beef cattle.
Gen. Stevenson’s negro boy has deserted the
enemy, bringing a Colonel’s horse with oim. He
states that the Colonel gave him a pass to go
through their pickets to buy a lew articles for
him, and he deserted them and came to General
Stevenson. Five Federate came over to us this
morning. They say that Gen. Morgan vras feed
ing them ou half ritions, and that he intends to
hold that place as lon ras poss.ble. They state
that their provisions will not last many days long
er, and that they will be compelled to surrender.
Capt. Boi trigut's company will be on picket to
morrow, aud we will be apt to try some of the
enemy’s pickets. W. T. O.

AUGUSTA, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23. 1862.
Latest bom she North.
The Baltimore American, of the 10th, says that
“devastation and destruction” will mark the route
taken by the Confederates. It says :
The iafest intelligence from Frederick City and
the region occupied by the rebels is brought by
General Columbus O Donnell, who reached Balti -
more vestsrday afternoon from his countrv seat,
near Weaverton, not far from Harper’s Ferrry.
He had been up there some days prior to the
rebels crossing the river, and suddenly found
himself within the enemy’s lines. Having im
portent business to attend to in Baltimore, be sad
dled up a pair of plough horses, being the oniy
team left on bis place, and started off for Frede
rick Citv.
100 arriving within a few miles of Frederick he
was stopped by the rebel pickets, aud obtained
permission to pass on to the quarters of the Pro
vost Marshal, uradley T. Johnson, with whom he
had at one time some acquaintance. On reaching
the city he wu3 conducted to the Marshal’s office,
and was warmly greeted by Johnson, who ussur
ed him that it was out of his power to grant him
a pass to Baltimore, ps no one bat Gen. Lee bad
that power, to whom he referred him, giving him
a pass to the General’s headquarters, four miles
from Frederick on the G-mgetowu voad.
This occurred on Monday afternoon, and Gene
ral O’Donnell imuicd ately started out to the rebel
camp, where he found General Lee’s headquarters
on one side of the road and General Jackson's on
the other side. There was quite a large force of
infantry without tects, and most of the men with
out kuupßacks, presenting a mo3t deplorable ap
pearance, so far as dress was cone trued, though
they were well armed, and Reemed to be in good
spirits.
On reaching.the camp General O’Donneil ap
proached the tent of Gruerul Lee, when he was
met by Charles Marshall, formerly a lawyer of
Baltimore, with whom he was also personally ac
quainted. Marshall was acting as an aid of Gen:
Lee, and on General O’Donnell making known to
him tiiat his bnisinesa was to secure a pass to Bal
timore, be told him tiiat Geu. Lee was very busy
and could not be seeu, but that he would make
known his request to him. Marc-hail eutered the
tent, aud soon returned with the pass required,
and informed Gen. O’Donnell that Gen. Lee re
quested him to say that it afforded him great plea
sure to grant his request.
The pass was granted to General O’Donnell
without any restrictions, nor wa3 he required to
give any pledges not to disclose anything that he
had seen within the lines.
We have not had the pleasure of seeing Gener
al O'Donnell, but learn that it is hia opinion, from
what be saw, that tbe enemy bad no intention of
advancing either on B.dlimore or Washington.
The impression on his mind was that they were
preparing to retire, before McClellan’s army, and
would soon recross the l iver at some of the up
per fords. Scouting parties were out scouring the
country for horses and cattle, and would proba
bly enter the border counties of Pennsylvania for
this purpose it suflicieut time was given them to
accomplish tli ir purpose
The presence of both Generals Ler aud Jackson
near Frederick would either indicate that the ex
pedition is a most hazardous one, oi that the mass
of the army has really accompanied them, and
that the invasion is a reality aud not a foraging
raid. Even if it is merely a raid for subsistence
stores, its success is undoubtedly most impoitant
to the rebels, and the presence ot these two promi
nent Generals may be accounted for on that ground.
Our intelligence from Washington is that the
rebels have fallen back from Geu. McClellan’s
Iront, and that he has advanced six miles beyond
Poolesville, from which a rebel picket guard was
driven out, after some lightieg, ou Monday after
noon.
FORCE OF THE REBELS.
Tha statements we have received from corres
pondeuta of the New York papers us to the force
iu which the rebels have crossed iuo Maryland en
tirely disagree with any accounts that have been
received from fugitives from Frederick county.
No one who has yet arrived here speaks of having
seen more than fifteen thousand men, while some
of the Northern correspondents vouch for an tiro y
of from sixty thousand to one hundred thousand.
The fo'lowing note, received last night from a re
spectable gentleman of Washington county, places
the number stil lower:
“As the movement and uumbar of rebel troops
now in Maryland are greatly exaggerated, I beg
leave—being, perhaps, the last person from the
locality—to make a (air statement of what I con
ceive to be their numbers and designs. They do
not exceed five thousand, but, beiDg mostly cav
alry, move very quickly, and, like most of my
neighbors ol Frederick and Washington counties,
if 1 had never seen ‘.ho military parades around
Washington, ( should fix their number at troni
fifty thousand to seventy-five thousand. They
are moving (if it possesses a military strategy) to
draw from the defence ot Washington as many
troops as possible, so as to fall on that city with
11 great force; for they are prepared to reeross the
Potomac at any time in a few hours,”
EXCITING RUMORS.
The rumors iu Baltimore last evening among
ihe Secession sympathisers, were of the most por
tentous character, mid too beaming and joyous
countenance was again visible iu various well
kuowu localities. General McClellan was report
ed to have b-tit defeated tit a great battle at
l'oolesville, and driven beak in confusion to Wash
ington. This had scarcely got we I afloat before
anothei was started to the effect, that Gen. Burn
side had been driven hack from Frederick with
great slaughter. Whilst these reports were being
digested, a messenger from a point eight miles
out on the Liberty road arrived with the announce
meut that a battle was progressing in that vicini
ty, and that a cannon hall had cut the limb from
a tree in front ol his house.
This alarm was soon discovered to have been
au alarm occasioned by one of the new regiments •
having gone out in that vicinity to drill and prae
tice, tiring Ry columns and platoons. Os course
there was no ene ny within forty miles of the spot,
and those who expected to be "redeemed” before
morning concluded to postpone the jierformauce
for at least twenty-four hours.
In the meantime the Washington cars arrived
with the announcement that General McClellan
was pushing forward, and could tiud no enemy in
front of him. A rumor was also soon afterwards
start ’d that General Burnside’s picketi were yes
terday morning within sight of Frederick, and the
enemy traveling westward.
REBEL ROBBER TOP FREDERICK.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of yesterday mor
nit g says that a lady direct trom Frederick, who
was permitted to leave the town by a pass from
Ueu. Johnson, states ilia* the rebels were making
large purchases, hut that they paid for all their
goods in rebel scrip, and not in* United States
Treasury notes, as our dispatches allege. She
further states that they would not receive any
other money iu change except United States frea
sury notes, thus virtually lobbing the citizens of
then* property under the pretence of paying for
the.r goods in rebel money, which is everywhere
in Mary laud regarded as worthless
We do not hear of more thau u rebel cavalry
picket on the Baltimore road, near New Market,
on the turnpike, aud Monrovia on the railroad.
Gen. Burnside wus said ytsierday to be threat
ening the enemy’s lutes near Hyaitsviile, which
w.iuld indicate that the? had retired from Middle
brook some six miles towards Frederick, ou his
advance.
A letter from New York, dated the 9th instant,
says;
The excitiug reports from the Upper Potomac
and .Mar, tend, ure making a profound impression
upon our pe< p'e. T here is no panic, it is true,
and but little actual eicuement. The feeling is
100 deep tor either. Men feel, for the first tune,
that there is at least a possibility tbat the refluent
waves ot the rebellion, from Richmond, may
sweep near enough their owu hearths and homes
to make the realize what the horrors of war
really are, and hence, wh’ist there is every con
fidence hi the abilny of Gen. McClellan to beat
back the advancing hordes, there is a general de
sire that more energetic action should ne had, on
the part of our municipal authorities and leading
citizens, to provide for any contingency that may
arise.
INCIDENTS AT FREDERICK.
The New York Tribune has some ‘•incidents’’
at Ferdenek, Md., which ase are interesting.—
It says :
It is said that the entire stock ofboots and shoes
in Frederick were bought out by the rebels, who
left behind them some good money and some
shocking bad money. The storekeepers of course
did not dare to refuse what was offered them.—
The entire stocks of Messrs. Tyler A Steiner,
(Union,) and A. J. Delashm&u, (rebel,) were taken
and Confederate notes given them in payment.
So far as we can ascertain, they allowed free in
grtss and egress to and from the town. The pick
ets on the road appear to have been stationed
merely to watch military movements, and paid
no attention to civilians.
On Friday evening, before the appearance of the
rebels, there was considerab.e of"a disturbance in
Frederick. Some parties connected with the Citi
zen newspaper cheered on the streets for Jeff.
Davis, in the exuberance of their joy, and were
knocked down by citizens. The Provost guard
interfered, and a man named Lawson, one of the
proprietors of the Citizen, was knocked down
with the butt of a musket and considerably injur
ed. Another man, named Yeackie, was also badly
cut. 3
The rebels of Frederick knew of the coming of
the insurgent army long before any intimation of
their approach had been received by the Federal
authorities.
A fugitive citiieD just in from Frederick savs
that Mr. John S. Caldwell and other Secesslonteta
threw the rebel Stars and Bars to the breeze from
the top ot the Court-House, on Sunday but’John
M. Herndon, Esq., actmg Mayor, being a mild
Union man, or at worst a judicious traitor hauled
down the rag, asserting that the occupation by
the friends ot the South was transient, and that it
was folly to make the city unnecessarily odious
to the Federal Government.
IMPORTANT FEOH THE WEST —THE COSFBOEEATBB
WITHIN' FIVE MILES OF COVINGTON.
The news from the West is important. The
Confederates, numbering about 2,000 infantry and
1,000 cavalry, arrived in sight of Coviugtou, Ky.,
oniholOth, Business was again suspended iu

to report for auty at B:’clock on the morning of

from C noinuati Wednesday night, at 10 o’clock,
says.
A train of thirty ambulances, with a fi.:g of
truce, left here yesterday afternoon, for the use
of our wounded .at R chmond. When they were
twelve miles distance they were'ordered to halt
by the pickets of General Ewing. They did so,
and the officer in command ot the ambulances was
tekeu before General ileaib, wbo informed bun
that he could not pass the train, as he was not

was then made to Genera! Kirhv Smith,' who
pronijdiy allowed oar ambulances to proceed.
Our scouts report ibat the rebels are moving in
two divisions, number ng 16,000 men. Early this
moruiug a large rebel cavafrv force attacked our.
pickets on Licking river, driving them backs mile,
several oi whom were wounded. Our whole force

WILD EXCITEMENT EVSEYWHMUS.
Yoke, Penn., Sept. 10.—All along the Northern
Central aud the . York and Gettysburg railroads
the wildest excitement prevails. There is not a
little village hamlet, of ever so humble preten
sions, that does not boast its baud of patriots,
wbo are drilling and ctheiwiso making prepara
tions for resistance to State invasion uud protec
tion ol the general Government.
There are rumors of a very unreliable character
constantly in circulation respecting the rapid ad
vance of ibe rebels. Y our correspondent was
positively informed at Columbia L.st night that
the rebels were in possession of York, and were
occupying the place with a force of fifteen thou
sand. That there are many scouting parties of
Rebel cavalry ranging through the country in this
vicinity f cannot doubt; but 1 am seriously in
clined ta think I shall tied no rebels in lianover,
whither Igo this aiorning. Instead of the rebels
being, in pursuit of me, as I expected, the tables
are turned, and I am iu pursuit of the rebels.
They are playing a desperate game in their in
vasion of our State, for a more determined peo
pie never existed than are now aroused to lepel
ihem
Reports are constantly being received of
bridges burned, crops destroyed, cattle driven
off’, uud in some instances, citizens murdered.
Many of these reports are undoubtedly true, but
tbev are not applicable to this immediate neigh
borhood.
Although (his city has sent hundreds to the
war, still, within a very short time, seven corn

been raised.
FROM MIDDLETOWN—INROAD OF CAVALRV.
Middletown, Md., Sept. B— o p. m. —A party ol
Rebel cavalry, under Cant. Notter, formerly of
this place, made a dash through Middletown,
about noon, tearing down the only American lltg
exhibited, ami swearing and cheering vocife
rously.
They committed no other outrages, and after
being entertained at Ridolentoser’s Hotel, they
left the piece amid the imprecations of the peo
pie. At half-past four o’clock they came hack,
but this time as prisoners, ia charge of a tqnad
of Cole’s Maryland cavalry, who bogged the
Rebels just after they had left tan town. The
Union scouts were under the command of Cupt.
Russell.
The people, especially the females, were wild
with enthusiasm, rendered the more intense by
the despondency which preceded it. it is likely
the rebels would have escaped, had it not been
for the generous manner iu which ltiddtemoser
tneuted them, a number ol them being so drunk
that they overstaid their time.
The Rebels boasted that Generals Floyd and
Loring were iu Hagerstown, and would soon be
in Pennsylvania, but were uncountable in their
comments upon the thievish propensities of the
former. At first, they were mistaken for friends
us many of them were dressed in citizen’s clothos,
and others in the United States uniform. Their
horses and arms had Undo Ham’s brand upon
them, aid they claimed that all the Enfield rifles
iu the Rebel army had been captured on the bat
tle field.
In pursuance of their plaus to conciliate Mary
lauders, the Rebels behaved well under iheir brief
reign, a certain elasss of sympathizers acted as if
they were parting from their friends This oc
curence although insignificant in the history of
the war, has rendered this the most memorable
day iu the history of Middletown.
THE EXCITEMENT IN WILKESBARRE, PENN.
Wilkesbakre, Hept. 10th, 1862.—At 3, o’clock,
p. ro , yesterday, all the places of business were
closed. All. the church bells and Courthouses
be Is rang lor the people to assemble for drill, at
whico time nearly all the able bodied men in the
town, amounting to some hundreds, assembled in
the public square. They formed into companies,
aod marched to the river hank, and drilled until
six o’clock, p. m. Great excitement exists
throughout this place, and also throughout the
whole county upon the receipt of the news of the
invasion of the old Keystone Htuto. Men over
sixty years of age fell into the rauks am drilled,
and were willing to go and die for our country.
IIAOERSTOWN PEOPLE LEAVING FOR 11IS NORTH.
Hagerstown, Md , Sept. 9.— The term “skedad
dle” conveys bat a faint impression ofthe exodus
of masculines from Maryland, more especially in
this locality. (Then the rebels too* Frederick,
they became possessed of the lists of enrolled mi
litia, and from these lists it is feared they will dralt
men into their army, and it is asserted they have
already done so.
Tiie secessionists of Middletown have sent the
names of all the Union men in that cily to Frede
rick, the knowledge of which has cuuued the lat
ter to la ive most precipitately. Middletown was
taken possession us this morning and maitial law
declared, two companies of rebel cavalry doing
provost guard duty. The rebels have no partiali
ty for Middletown, as it is the strongest Union
town in the State.
The people of Hagerstown are also leaving in
large numbers, ia anticipation ot an attack. The
rebels are reported in lovee near Sharpestown, and
the supplies for our forces at Harper’s Ferry are
in danger of being cut off by the rebels crossing
at Gatlin’s Ford, about eight miles from the
Ferry.
further From Hagerstown.
Hagerstown, Sept. 10 —The apprehension of
an attack upon thia placi has somewhat subsided,
though every one who can helps to swell the
throng journeying northward. If the Rebels had
intended to penetrate in this direction, they !
would certainly have pounced upon the city while
it was in a defenceless condition, and while the
water ot tho Potomac was so low that they could
approach from the and rection of Williamsport or
retreat in that direction alter supplying them- l
selves with boats, clothing and such other sup- ;
plies as they could steal, as no one will pretend
that the offer of Confederate scrip in payment is
any better than adding insult to injury.

! The Pennsylvania sneak Tallman, who recently
j essayed to cross over into Canada, crossed iu le

is still at the Stevenson House in Lockport. The
j authorities in Pennsylvania have been telegraphed
j to, and inquiry has Deen made as to what shall be
I done with the man, but no reply had been receiv
ed up to last Thursday. He is a man of wealth,
and says if it had not been for the entieaties of
his wife he would have remained at home, and
took his chances of a draft. He says he lcves his
country, but loves wife and family more. He has
a large sum of money with him, and offered the
gnaru at the bridge a package of f3,u00 to let him
pass at the time of his detection, but it may be
said, to the credit of the guard, he was incorrup

Vandalmni of the Yankees.
\V« learn from a gentleman just arrived from
North Alabama, that the Yankees evacuated
Huntsville b“weeu the Ist and 4tb of this month,
General Buell aud stall'having gone a week or
two previous, aad Gen. Rosencranz some days
alter, leaving Gen. Lvtell in command. They
left via Stevenson, hut returned suddenly in a
day or two, and left again permanently, having
committed great depredations upon the citizens.
They took from Madison county probably 1,500
negroes, many of whom went voluntarily, others
0, were forced away. They also took
horses and mules iu large numbers, which were
immediately branded with “0. 8.” and taken
without being paid for. The negroes wi re em
ployed as teamsters and tn other kinds of labor,
Ur which their previous training fitted them.
Hume of them m ide their escape aad returned;
others were secured by their masters, who pur
sued thorn, but the number recovered was small,
'lost of those stoleu were negro men but in some
instances men, women and children were taken,
leaving plantations entirely destitute. Some of
the plantations were desolated and turned into
barren wastes. In one instance, near Huntsviiie,
not a panned of fencing was left around the entire
place; in others they were cnnsum&d for miles,
and stock left .to graze and destroy at pleasure
la many cases it will be almost an impossibility
to gather t .ejcrOps, or to prepare for the next
year’s planting. The town of Huntsville was hut
little injured, but the surburbs aad vicinity suffer
ed greatly, and t->e machinery of the depot of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad was broken up
aad destroyed; the depot buildings were not
birned.
Between lluutsvll'e and Stevenson the country
is desolated and deserted, lacksoa county having
bieu left almost entirely vvitnout inhabitants or
signs of animal Lite. The depot at Camden is
destroyed. The town of Woodviile is burned to
the ground, and from that place to BellCfonLe
scarcely a house is lift standing. Blackened
rains is all that remains The bridge over Faint
Rock river, (probably 200 feet long,) was unt'or
unutoiy burned by our own uien, after the Yra:i

the depot at Larkinsville was, we fear, carelessly
destroyed.

i From Maryland Passengers by the Central
train yesterday evening, having no army news
wherewith to enlighten the citizens es Richmond,
indulged in the expression of various theories.
One ot the most plausible of these theories is iu
regard to the movements of Gen. Jackson. It is
suggested that he is on his way hack from Maty- i
land”, with the design of re-cr.,ssmg the Potomac j
at Shepardstown and pouncing unawares upon the
five or six thousand Yankees who are reported to
he at Uarper’B Ferry. This is a guess, the verifi
cation ot which is within the scope of possibility.
There are many obvious reasons why we should
wish to have the valley thoroughly cleared.
Several discharged soldiers, who left Frederick
last Wednesday, arrived here yesterday. They
bring no other intelligence of the movements of
our army, except that the forces in and about
Frederick left that town on Wednesday morning
and marched to the northward. The majority of
the citizens of Frederick sympathized with the
Confederate cause, though there were also many
bitter and outspoken Unionists, male and female.
Union and Confederate flags, in many cases float
ed from the tops of adjoining houses. No person
had been interfered with by our generate or sol
diers for the expression of their political senti
ments. —Richmond Dispateh, 1 6th.
A weather prophet, writing to an agricultural

became exceedingly estiess and impatient, and
demanded their clothes, wet or dry. The e;ot!.-.-
were furnished late Monday cyeniug; their hum
seemed pretty well over, however, by this ti.n,,
and they expressed a determination to remain
probably- several days. Late that night, the,
were seen to leave the Hotel by thp back wav,
climbing the fence and making their way to

then identity, made the facts known to the poiiee,
who arrested the adventurers, next morning, at a
house of ill fame, and brought, them back to the
Hotel After some delay, plaining their inability
to pay their bill, they finally discovered that they

bill, Out sufficient also to pay £5 a piece to the
policemen who arrested them, as well as other
sundry exjisnses. Whereupon, after delivering
up some silver spooua, and perhaps other little
articles, which became awkwardly mixed up with
the contents of tlieir vahees, they were permitted
to depart on the morning train. It is difficult to
discern any good reason why they were tbtin lib

the public elsewhere will be on the lookout for
these adventurers. There are too many young
men prowling about at this time to avoid the' en
rolling officer. They-should be summarily dealt
with wherever iound.— Columbus Sun, YUh.

FROM THE ARM Y OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA.
By arrivals yesterday from Staunton, w« learn
it was reported there that Gen. Jackson had, on
Sunday 1 st, captured eight thousand Yankees at
Harper’s Ferry, without tiring a gun. We have
been unable to derive irom official sources any di
rect confirmation ol this report, though we learn,
upon good authority, that a combined movement
upon Harper’s Feity by the forces of Jackson,
Walker and McCall; tiud been ordered. It is said
that by order of Gen. Lee, Uen. Jackson was to
recross the Potomac at Williamsport, and General
Walker at Cheat Ford, and march upon Harper’s
Ferry, while General McCall approached that
place irom the north and took possession of the
Maryland heights overlooking the town.
II the report of the surrender of the Y’ankees be
correct, the communications of our army are open
to Winchester, and our generals are put in pos
session of eight thousand muskets wherewith to
arm the Marylanders who are said to be flocking
to our standard.
