THE ADVANCE INTO MARYLAND.
There are timid persons who still determine
to consider this last movement of Gen. Lea as
full of danger. That it is dangerous, to a cer
tain extent, is true enough. No military ope
ration ever was,or ever can be,entirely destitute
of danger. War itself is a very unsafe game
for any man to play, and of course none of its
moves are perfectly safe. Washington was
thought to he a cautious commander, and to a
certain extent be wa* so. Yet his two move
ments across the Delaware, resulting respective
MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMY
The Confederate army iu said to be a# Hano
ver, York county, Pa., which is '!!> miles feoutli of
Harrisburg. It is a village of l'JOO inhabitants.—
Philadelphia is distant from Harrisburg Woo miles.
The road from Hanover to York and'.-hence to
Lancaster, says the Richmond Enquirer ,- f would
seem to be tlie route to Philadelphia dtjLt our ar
my is pursuing—perhaps Gen. Jackm a U after
that "otd pub. /Kite.,” Buchanan. TiiMdistance by
this rou'e cannot be more than 120 ,« to Phil
adelphia.
The Richmond Enquirer says:
A corre-pondent, writing to IM editors of
lie could either remain quiet in Philadelphia,
with a beaten and disheartened army, and wait
for the enemy to besiege him in overwhelming
force, which be certainly would have done as
soon as the ice broke up, or he could run the
risk of being cut off by crossing the Delaware,
and carrying the war into the very heart of the
enemy's camp. In the first case destruction
was slower, but it was inevitable. In the last
case, there was a fair chance of success. He
chose the bolder and more generous alterna
tive, and he was completely successful. For
tune never sinijes on any one who is not will
ing to hazard something in order to obtain her
favor.
Gen. Lee was not in the condition of Wash
ington. lie had been victorious until applause
for victories achieved had, no doubt, begun to
pall upon his taste, lie had just defeated the
enemy in a scries of battles remarkable for
their brilliancy and effect. The most danger
ous position he could have Assumed, under
such circumstances, was one which implied in
action. If he had fallen back the enemy would
have advanced, as soon as reinforced, upon the
Rappahannock, and re-occupied all his old po
sitions. II he had remained stationary, his po
sition would have been indentical with that of
our army last year. We hare always maintain

erals an- hoi or and more skillfu , and their ar
lines more effective than ours. This is all that
anybody can ask in war. And it is worse than
idle—it is childish and idiotic to attempt to
shut our eyes to the glaring and repulsive fact
that thus tar in the war the rebels have the
best of the fighting. The sooner we realize our
actual condition, if’ sooner shall we find a
remedy for it. %'

By remaining stationary at Manassas, with the I
Rappahannock and .lames both in its rear, and
both accessible to the enemy’s gunboats, it j
gave time to that enemy to recover lrom the
panic, to make soldiers out of his recruits, and {
to threaten it on front, flank, and rear, with
seven hundred thousand men. That it escaped
destruction, we reckon among the miracles of
this war, which has been fruitful in strange
events. Had the enemy been guided by the
dictates of the most ordinary sagacity, we see

A dispatch from Hagerstown reports the Con
federates tl is side of Frederick, and says “the
pickets extended four miles this side.” Another
dispatch, dated at Cliambersburg on the 8th, states
that the Confederates were at Hagerstown in con
siderable force. All tlie rolling stock had been
removed from Hagerstown, and the telegraph of
fice evacuated.
The Herald has a dispatch from Harper’s Ferry
on the bill, which reports “alt quiet iu this locali
ty.”
The telegraph operator at Ohsmbersbnrg, Penn
sylvania, had decamped, fearing the advance of
the Confederates.
The Richmond Examiner of the 13th says:
Our armies have left Washington and Baltimore
altogether aside, have done so on the deliberate
plan and calculation of their Generals; and have
gone straight tt- the root of the matter. In a word,
they have invaded PcnnsylvaniA They stopped

it was well understood that when the column
reached Pennsylvania, its rear guard would not
leave a corn-stalk behi.nl it. Meantime, the North
is in extraordinary commotion. Great prepara
tions are being made lor tlie defence ol Harrisburg
and Philadelphia. Banks is in command at Wash
ington, whiie McClellan takes the field with the
troops >n Maryland and Pennsylvania. As for
Pope, that unfortunate “brave” has been sent oft'
to tight the Indians in Minnesota! Sic transit
gloria mundi I
The Northern press whistles loudly over the
new s. The mob is no longer cajoled with promises
for the immediate capture of Richmond, but con
soled by vehement protestations that the flank and
rear of the Confederate army will be cut through,
and not a man of it ever see Virginia again. They
point to the Susquehanna, between Philadelphia
and Jackson, and ignore the movements of our

it from its perilous position.
And in precisely
such a position should we be now
baited a second time at Manassas.
The movement which Gen. Lee has now
made is bold, but it is sagacious, and justified
by the highest military authorities. There arc
precedents enough in its favor, and peihaps
wv shall be excused for citing two or three of
them.
In the Italian campaign of 1800 the Austrian
General Melas was engaged in the siege of
Genoa, the First Consul Bonaparte led an ariny
(hrougli Switzerland, over the great St. Bern
ard, dow n the valley of the Dora Baltea, and
took possession of all Lombardy, and the
greater part oi Piedmont in his rear. He then
crossed the Po, cut oil' his retreat to Germany,
intercepted his supplies, destroyed his com
munications, anil forced him to fight the fatal
with those solemn feelings which precede a pitched
"i * j P. reC T J ' ! battle. Tlie universal hope and wish of the coun-
f .mu Gen. Gee | lr y j g realized; the harvest field of military suc
cess and honor has been entered; what crops we
shall reap there must depend on the genius of the
Generals who command. The greatest military
exploits ol ancient or modern times have been suc
cessful invasions, executed with armies not half as
large as that which they control. Let us hope
that they, too, will know how to wield the sword
ol conquest. Even if they fail, no word of public
censure shall heighten their misfortune; for they
will tail in the first really noble and rational at
tempt that has been made to finish thi
Runs’’when McCieBan took command The I an army became, to all intent, prisoners of

had evacuated Yorktown. The army of the
Potomac, it was declared, shall cuter Rich
mond, alter it had suffered defeat behind its
own fortifications. And there were to lie no
more reiieats on our side, after Pope took the
U-ad towards the rebel capital. Yet, iu spite ot
all these assurances, made with confidence, and
eargerly welcomed by the credulous country,
our armies are besieged, but all ‘Safe" in the
Potomac forts. Who can say that the tide of
disaster has yet been stayed? Who was there
to turn it ? We have tresh men iu the field—
but so wc had betorc. Possibly the enemy
cannot take the forts—and, possibly knowing
that fact, they will not try. But if wo can judge
the future train the past, they will be very j
likely to attempt something which the}- can
accomplish, and the first we shall know of it
will be that it has been done.
We see no ground for predicting better re
sults <o long as we employ the same means.
We have the same Generals, the same policy,
the same Government, thesame President, and
the same t’abinct as we have had hitherto.
We enter upon the future under the same an
spices precisely which have presided over our
past disasters. What possible reason, then,
have we to expect a change ? The entire re
sponsibility for all these calamities rests upon
the Government—simply because all the power
is in its hands. Grant that many of our coin-
nerals are incompetent—that they
concerned.
In the campaign of 1805, General Mack
marched into Bavaria with an army of SO,UOO
men, ami made his headquarters at Ulm. The
Emperor Napoleon induced him to believe that
he intended to invade Germany by the route
which runs through the Black Forrest and pass
es through that town. He made preparations
to repel an attack in front, but like Pope, he
left his rear to take care of itself, leaving five
or six deiaehmcnts of several thousand men
each, at different points between himself and
Vienna. Napoleon crossed the Rhine at five
different points, at each of which there was a
road leading to Mack’s rear, and avoiding Ulm
altogether. Each of his corps fell upon one of
Mack’s detachments, and after these had all
been routed they concentrated in his rear, and
forced him to surrender. This has always been
looked upon as one of the boldest, anil at the
same time, ablest military operations of mod
ern times.
In the Prussian cam pain of ISOti, the Ifnke
of Brunswick moved towards the frontiers
with '.he intention of invading France, probab
ly, or at any rate because he thought the
French would come by the route lie was on,
inasmuch as they hail come that way, in the
seven years war. Napoleon pa-sed him on his
left bv a different road, turned him completely,
and forced the passage of the Saale, by which
be got into his rear, cut offhis communications.
mainline Generals are incompetent—that tney “ ® “ ;

and Berlin, which he was to protect, in his

General Lee’s movement resembles these,
weak, irresolute, incapable, and therefore un-1
successful—the Government is responsible for i
their failures, because it has the power to dis . . . . . . . .

War is no time for elaborate experiments, or
lor patching up shattered reputations.
The President needs to reinforce his Cabinet
with new vigorandnew ability. W ithout any
impeachment of his own capacity, the Presi
dent must have a strong Cabinet or he will
have a weak Government. The ablest of our
Presidents have been the ones who have sur
rounded themselves with the best men. The
theory that Cabinet officers arc mere secreta
ries, and therefore not responsible, does not
avail, each Secretary carries not only into his
own department, but into the whole policy of
the Administration, the spirit, the vigor, the
energy of his own nature; and if the Cabinet
is made up of weak men, they will invariably
give the country a weak Government. We
need now the strongest Government the coun-
•j-y has ever seen. And it needs no prophet to
predict that, without more strength, more vig
orous power, a larger grAsp, and more energetic
mMsti-rv of the resources which the country is
into the hands of the Administration
tlntir we have had hitherto, the Union cause is
doomed to a speedy and disastrous overthrow.
FROM OUR ARMY IN MARYLAND
Yfc are without any additional parti :ulars
from our forces in Maryland.
It was stated by a soldier who came down on
the train last night that a large amount of Hour
and other produce was captured by our troops
on the Chesapeake and < thio Canal, on Satur
day last. The same authority also represents
that some twelve hundred Yankee troops were
captured at Poolosville, in Montgomery county,
Md.. the same day. _
\ gentleman from the lower part of the \ al
ley who arrived in this city yesterday after-
. ' ’ states that the Yankees still occupied
Harper’s Ferry up to Monday last. On that
day a portion of their cavalry scouted as far up
aa the neighborhood ot Bcrryville, in Clarke
“untv fie tliinks .he force at Harper’s Fer
ry amounts to some six or seven thousand,com-
posed of the forces formerly at Winchester,
Vlartinsburg, and Charlestown. In view of the
fact that our forces reached Frederick on hun-
dav this announcement seems a little singular;
mav be that this force, after massing at
Harper’s Ferry from other points in the Valley

prevailed to the effect that Fort McHenry be-

Confederates. It w needless to state that there

into a Southern port, and it is fur
ther reported that it is the celebrated 'No. 280,”
from Liverpool-
Affairs in Now Orleans -the Town Becom
ing too Hot for Picayune.
The last advices from New Orleans say an
attack on Carrolton, five miles from that city,
was daily expected. The old Confederate de
fensive works were being strengthened by the
Federal* to resist an attack. The guerrillas
come daily to Algiers,across the river from New
Orleans. A Northern paper, of the 6lh, says :
Three days betore the steamer left Gen. But
ler dispatched a company of soldiers to make
a reconnoissance beyond Algiers. The troops
left early in the morning in the train, and after
proceeding a short distance rebel pickets were
seen advancing. The train was stopped and the
troops alighted, and an advance was ordered to
feel their way. While engaged in this work a
large force of guerrillas ruslied fr>m t! • woods,
where they were pti vinu-l} imperceptible, and
fired, killing auU wounding our pickets before
they hail time to exchange bullets. Then anoth
er volley came, and subsequently a deadly en
gagement, in which the greater part of our
troops were wounded including the officers.
One of the rebels having spied the fireman
on the train, instantly discharged his piece and
killed him, in the hope ot capturing the party.
In this etfort, however, he was happily foiled.
The rebels, it is said, soon afterwards retired
to the woods, apparently under the impression
that the company were only the advance guard
of a regiment approaching, leaving the troops
to return to New Orleans with the report of the
recon nisance.
Baton Rouge, although evacuated by the
main body of soldiers, is still in possession of a
company of marines, under the protection of
two gunboats, which are to be changed every
seven days. The city has not been destroyed.
Only a tew houses, about twenty in number,
which intercepted the range of our fortifications
on the interior, have been destroyed.
Many of the points on the shore of the river
towards Baton Rouge are occasionally lined
with rebels, who tire on our transports when
ever they are not in reach of our gunboats. The
rebels have become bolder and more insolent
since the departure of our anny from Baton
Rouge.
PROPHETIC.
A correspondent of the Wilmington “Journal”
makes the following prediction :
I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a
prophet, hut I now predict that one of the con
sequences of this war will be, that in three years
from the end thereof there will not be a free
negro in America; that our institution of
slavery will.be established on a more firm ba
sis than ever; that the Northern States Rights
party will gut into power as sopn as the elec
tions roll round; the Abolitionists will be
hunted down like mad dogs, and the whole
civilized world will become satisfied tliat our
slaves are in the very condition for which nax
tore designed them. Mark tbe prediction.
Beceipts for making Bread, Stc,, from
Bicc Flour.
Russkll Coistv, Ala., Sept 8th.
Eds. Sun : 1 read an article in one of your
papers lately in which receipt^ for making dif
ferent kinds of bread with rice flour, were en
quired for and having a few that i think will
be found good, I send them to you. They were
printed in Charleston, S. C., several years ago.
Respectfully,
Elizabeth B. Lewis.
7’> male Loaf liice Ilread.—Boil a pint of
rice soft.^md a pint of leaven, then three quarts
of rice flour, put it to raise in a tin or earthen
vessel, until it has risen .sufficiently; divide it
into three parts and bake it as other bread and
you will have three large loaves, i >r scald the
flour, and when cold, mix half wheat flour or
corn meal, raised wii!i leaven in the usual way.
Another.—One quirt of rice Hour—make
it into a stiff pap. by wetting with warm water,
not so hot as to make it lumpy, when well
wet add ooiling water, as much as two or
three quarts, stir it continually until it boils;
put in J pint of yeast when it cools, and a
little salt, knead as much wheat flour as will
make it a proper dough for bread, put it to
rise, and when risen add a little more wheat
flour—let it stand in a warm place halt an
hour, and bake it. This same mixture only
made thinner and baked in rings makes excel
lent muffins. (
Journey or Jonny Cul-e.—To three spoonsful
of soft boiled rice, add a small tea cup of water
or milk, then add six spoonsful of rice flour,
which will make a large Jonny cake, or six
waffles.
liice LLtii cs.—Take a pint of soft boiled rice, a
half pint of tnilk or water, to which add twelve
spoonsful of the rice flour, divide it into small
cakes and bake them in a brick oven.
Lice Vales Me Euri,cheat.—Mix one fourth
wheat flour to three fourths superfine rice Hour
and raise it as buckwheat (lour, bake it like
buckwheat cakes.
To Male Wafer*.—Take a pint of warm wa
ter, a teaspoonful of salt, and a pint of the flour
and it will give you.two dozen wafers.
To make Rice Puff*.—To a pint of the Hour,
add a teaspoonful ol salt,a pint of boiling water,
beat up four eggs, stir them well together, put
from two to three spoonsful of lard in a pan
make it boiling hot and try as you do common
fritters.
To make a Rice Puddiny.—Take a quart of
milk,add a pint of tbe flour, boil them to a pap,
beat up six eggs, to which add six spoonsful of
Havana sugar, and a spoonful ot butter, which
when well beaten together, add to the milk and
flour, grease the pan it is to be baked in, grate
nutmeg over the mixture and bake it.
Rice Flour Sponge Cake.—Make like sponge
cake except that you use i of a pound of rice
flour, thirteen eggs, leaving out four whites and
add a little salt
Rice Flour It la nee Mange.—Boil one quart
of miik, season it to your taste with sugar
and rose water, take 4 tabic-spoonsful ol the
rice flour, mix it very smooth with cold milk,
add this to the other inilk while it is boiling,
stirring it well. Let all boil together about
fifteen minutes, stirringoccasionally, than, pour
it into moulds and put it by to cool. This is a
very favorite article for invalids.
Rice Oriddle Cakes.—Boil one large cup of
whole cold rice quite soft, in milk, and while
hot stir in a little salt, hake in small thin cakes
on the griddle.
In every case in making lice flour bread,
cake or pudding, a well boiled pap should be
first made of all the milk and water and half
the flour, and allowed to get perlectly cold be
fore the other ingredients are added. It forms
a support for them and prevents the flour from
settling at the bottom, stir the whole a moment
before it is set to cook.
NORTHERN NEWS.
Our Richmond exchanges furnish u« the fol*
lowing late Northern news :
EXCITEMENT IX BALTIMOKE—OUTB1IEAK ANTICIPA
TED.
A Yankee correspondent states that “the ex
citement in Baltimore has increased in intensity
ant’, there is every indication that we are on the
eve of a popular outbreak. It is singular fact
that the character of this excitement is ditlerent
from that which has ever pervailed here before.
It is now the Unionists who manifest alarm and
uneasiness. The Secessionists are confident and
calm. The Unionists complain bitterly that
the Government has p~ovidede ainpl means for
destruction of the city,but none for its defence.
The appearance in the basin (in the heart of the
city/ ot five ol the vessels of Commodore Por
ter’s mortar fleet has greatly increased this feel
ing. The Baltimore American gives expres
sion to this feeling by saying that the rebels,in
strong force, are marching on Baltimore, and
asking ‘What are our chances of rescue? While
Baltimore has abundant materials provided for
its swift destruction, it has but little for its de
fence.’
“Those who ought to know best, however,
believe that the rebels do not mean to march on
Baltimore at Present They think that their
object is rather to isolate Baltimore from the
North, and from Washington, by cutting the
rail roads all around the city. They regard
Baltimore as a Southern city. They wish to
save it and not to destroy it Therefore they
will do nothing to imperil the safety of the city.
“Bradley T. Johnson, the rebel Provost Mar-
slial.has sent word to his friends in this eity to
rejoice, for the day of their deliverance is at
hand, lie says that a few days more will see
General Lee in Baltimore, Washington cut oft'
from the North, Norfolk in possession of the re
bels, and a fleet of rains and iron clad steamers
sailing up the Potomac to take part in the at
tack on VVAshington.
“General Wool, with the engineer corps,made
a tour of the hills around Baltimore yesterday,
and spots were selected lor throwing up in-
trenchments. In accordance with Governor
Bradford’s proclamation, the citizens of Balti
more will be formed into companies to-day lor
the defence of the city. This, however, is con
trary to General Wool’s wishes. The General
assures the citizens that he has tak en all need
ful measures for the delence of the city,and they
need not leave their ordinary occupations.
I “If you have any troops at the North let
them be sent on to Washington at once.”
AFFAIRS IN BALTIMORE—THE FLEEING OE THE CI
TIZENS THE DEFENCE OF THE CITY, &C.
The Baltimore correspondent of the New
York Evening Post thus writes of the state of
the popular feeling in that city :
The sentiment is universal that if the rebels
dare invade this State in force their sympathi
zers in this city shall be made to pay the forfeit
The determination of the loyal men knows no
limit, and it is heightened by the strange indif
ference of the military authorities here to the
condition of things. When loyal men see the
military authorities here surrounded by Seces
sionists affecting to wear the garb of Unionism,
and see their Governor treated as a nulity in
the present emergency, there can be no wonder
at the despair exhibited on all hands.
The General in command was called on yes
terday to know what were the means ot' de
fence of the city in case the enemy should in. ike
a demonstration against it, and urged to un ite
with the Governor in arming the militia. Ste ps
will, perhaps, be taken in that direction to da y
by the Governor. The forts under the com -
rnand of General Morris, are in complete readi
ness to receive the foe, as well as the heavy
mortar vessels, a fleet of which lies in a con
venient position. Let the foe come, and if he
is not driven back by the militia and the troops
stationed here, he will find Baltimore too hot
for a lodgment. Her destruction is certain in
that event; so that Jeff Davis will have smoul
dering ruins for his headquarters it he oar. ef
fect his purpose.
The rumor is rife again that General Wool
is to be Assigned to the field, which Ls hisforte,
and that he is to be succeeded by Gen. Morris.
The change would be hailed with joy by the
whole loyal community, which 1 learn is vocif-
sj.ously lor it We want a man who can com
mand our confidence, and who cannot be hood
winked by, the Secessionists putting on the
guise of Unionism. Gen. Wool, 1 understand,
is not satisfied with his present position, and
would gladly escape from it to more genial du
ties.
These are the times of great danger, and
Morris is the man for the hour. Besides- per
fect harmony with the State administration is
needed, and Governor Bradford’s arm bhould
strengthened in this crisis.

Our informant says that the rebel army is a
sorry looking set in the way of clothing—be
ing dirty, ragged, and of all shapes and colors
and texture. He saw their cavalrymen riding
the streets with the stars and stripes tied to the
horses' tails and trailing in the dust, and many
other indignities were freely bestowed upon
the glorious flag.
The rebels say they do not intend to attempt
to take WAshington or Baltimore. Of course,
if they wished to take either of those cities they
can do so, but it would involve a tremendous
lossoflifeiQ the accomplishment ofthoae-ob
jects, especially the taking of this city; and as
they could hold the latter but a little while,
they do not deem it necessary to make the at
tempt. As they say, our gunboats would move
up to the city and shell them out, and destroy
the city, and they do not think the game worth
the powder. So with Baltimore.
Our interment passed Hyattstown on his way
home, and found that place occupied by the
rebels, who had just received notice from our
forces to remove the women and children from
the place, as they intended to make an attack.
When he left Frederick, Jackson had just
left that place with 8,000 or more troops, all
cavalry, and took the road towatds Gettysburg,
and our informant believes the rebels are now
in Pennsylvania in force, as they were but 25
miles from .he line on Sunday night at six o’
clock.
Ijamsville, the point at which Longstreet is
located by this refugee, is on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road, two miles this side of Monoca-
cy bridge.
THE OOVSKNMKNT AT WASHINGTON THROWING
TROOPS INTO' MAKVLAND.
The Government at Washington is re]

as exerting itself in throwing troops into
land. The Washington Star says:
An immense movement of troops into Mary
land Iias been actively going lorward since Fri •
day night They have been pouring over all
the bridges, ami through Georgetown and this
city, in an immense and continuous throng,
followed by long trains of artillery and of bag
gage wagons. The troops consist of the veter
ans of the army of the Potomac and of Virgin
ia, with a considerable admixture of the new

General Banks having been appointed com
mander of the forces and lortitieations for the

PROCLAMATION FROM THE GOV. OF MAKVLAND.
The entrance of our army into Maryland h is
called the following proclamation from the Go
vernor ol Maryland:
Enrolling Blacka—The Attorney General
of Massachusetts concludes a letter on the en
rollment of colored citizens as iollows:
“The authorities of Massachusetts have no
more right to diminish its quota of troops by
refusing to enroll black men than they would
have to reduce the age at which the obligation
of military service terminates from forty-five
to forty years. The only possible question now
open is, whether colored men are citizens of
Massachusetts, which no one, I presume, will
have tbe hardihood to deny, inasmuch as they
are tax payers, voters, jurors and eligible to
office; and there is no inequality founded upon
distinction of races known to our^ws.”
tjfGencral Beauregard and several mom-
bers of his stair arrived in Charleston on Satur
day afternoon, and are staying at the Mills
House. The General is in good hoalth, having
for several weeks been enjoying, at Bladon
Springs, Alabama, the repose which his con-
tinnous labors during the campaignsof’61 and
’62 rendered nec&sary.

State of Maryland, Ex’tive Department, /
Annapolis, September 8, 1852. j
Whereas, It has been represented to me, up
on authority which seems unquestionable, that
a portion of the rebel army of the South, now
in arms against the Union, have crossed our
border, and is encamped upon our territory,
menacing the city ol Baltimore ami other por-
| tions of the State with a hostile attack ; and it
is expedient that besid es all the powers with
which the Government may be prepared to
meet this daring invasion, that our own citizens
should without delay organize throughout tbe
State such militia forces as may effectually as
sist in delending our hoi nes and firesides against
the assault of the invader.
1, therefore, in virtue of the authority vested
in me by the Constitution and laws of the State,
hereby call upon her citizens to enroll them
selves at once in volunteer military organiza
tions, that no possible power at command may
be overlooked in preparing to meet every emer
gency. In the city of Iialtiiyore I would espe
cially call upon the citizens to organize at once
and complete the fojmation of tho First Light
i Division of Maryland Volunteer Militia—in
which several companies have been already
1 filled and their oficers ready commissioned. ■
To the citizens of the several Counties I
would appeal, and. especially commend to them
the formation of volunteer cavalry companies
as better adopted than any other to the present
emergency.
1 have providijd and am ready at once to dis
tribute cavalry arms and acoutrcments suffi-'
cient for all that will probably be organized,
and whilst every effort will be made to arm
ami equip also all tlie infantry volunteers that
may offer, let our loyal citizen not wait for the
distribution of arms, hut organize everywhere
without delay, and assist in driving from the
State the invading host that now occupies its
soil, armed with any weapon which opportu
nity may furnish.

the State, this eight day ot September, 1862.

AFFAIRS AT FREDERICK—JACKSON ON HIS WAY TO
PENNSYLVANIA.
The Washington Republican has the follow
ing account of affairs about Frederick from a
gentleman just returned from a visit to that
place. We copy the most interesting portion
of its account:
Our informant is a Union man, but was al
lowed to visit the camps of the enemy unre
strained. He saw and conversed with a large
number of Washingtonians, who were in the
ranks of the rebels. They seemed to be m
good spirits, and were apparently, determined
rebels.
The advanced guards of the rebels occupied
Frederick on Friday night, and took possession
in force on Saturday with ten thousand men,
which number our informant believed to be in
the city when he left. He says there are at
least one hundred thousand of the rebels over
in Maryland, in the vicinity ot Frederick, con
sisting of the forces ol Jackson, Ewell, Long-
street, and the Virginia Cavalry under Gen.
Stuart
Longstreet’s division lies at Ijamsville, and
consists of from thirty to fifty thousand. No
pickets are thrown out except at night, and
citizens are allowed perfect freedom to go and
come as they please. The soldiers are not al
lowed, under a penalty of death, to touch a
thing or take article* of any kind without the
consent of the owner, and then to pay liberal
ly for it (in Confederate scrip.) The orders
are strictly enforced, and as a consequence not
a ear of com or a fence rail is disturbed. This
forbearance is shown because, as they say,
OFFICERS—CHANGES OF COMMAND, &C.
The Government at WAshington has rewar
ded General Pope’s generalship in the recent
battles by removing him from command and
sending him against the Indians (?)—and as
signing him the command of a new Nor- 1 west
ern Department—against the hostile Indians of
Minnesota at present, with his headquarters at
St. Paul’s, lie had left Washington to take
charge of it Before leaving. General Pope pre
ferred charges of cowardice against Generals
Franklin, Heintzleman, Fitz John Porter and
others. At the request of General McClellan,
the President has ordered them to their com
mands, and postponed their trial for the pres
ent. The Washington Star says that General
McClellan thought the exigencies of the case
demanded their restoration to their commands,
and adds:
In his report of the recent operations of his
army in falling back to the fortifications in
front of Washington, Gen. Pope makes grave
charges against a number of his brother gen
era! officers, accusing Gen. Seigel of cowttrdice,
(fieii. Fitz John Porter of refusing to obey or
ders, and Gens. Franklin and Griffin of inten
tionally delaying tlie movements of their
several commands - , so as to prevent the success
of his (Gen. Pope’s) operations. He also brings
charges against General Heintzleman.
It appears to be understood that, on receiv
ing this report, all the officers (with perhaps
the exception of Gen. Seigel) who are subjects
of its accusations, were about to be relieved
from duty until their conduct could bo inves
tigated by the court of inquiry—consisting of
Gens. Mansfield, Cadwalader and CAsey. The
exigencies of the occasion, however, made it
absolutely necessary, we apprehend, tliat they
should be continued in their several commands
leaving the question of the action to be taken
upon Gen. Pope’s charges against them to be
determined wholly by the result of the court’s
investigations.

The coi respondent of the Philadelphia In
quirer writes:

The most important statement deriv* :d from

THE POSITION OF THE CONFEDERA TES.
Washington, Septem her 9—11:45 P. M.—
The news from the fro Ot to-day is altogether i
of a negative character. The reconnoissanres
made have failed to fin d the enemy in sn-h
force on the Maryland g de as has been i - * -
sented. They are occ upying the p . eipal
points from the month of Seneca creik to
Frederick, and Westwai d to Hagerstown, and

mills, within twelve d files of Baltimore.—
Wi’hin this range the y have p .^session of
three fords across the P otornac, and they ap
pear to be industriously obtaining and sending
into Virginia all the sup plies they can find.—
Large qcantities of hors es, cattle, forage and
breadstufls have been j rrocured in the teriile
counties of Montgomery, Frederick, W 'ashing
ton, Howard and Baltin - tore. All these things
are sent rapidly aero ss the Potomac into
Virginia
The whole rebel force that has passed N firth-
ward through Frederick does not exceed fil teen
thousand. They repre gent that they are c - nly
the aiivmce guard of Kie hundred arid li lty
thousand who have crot s* d into Maryland, l> ut
they have not yet been f< mnd.
It is definitely ascert ai ned, however, that a s
many as one hundred a.o if fifty thousand Lave *
come to the banks of the Potomac, and the im
pression prevails that th* jy arc trying a piece
of strategy, foraging exp ediously in Maryland, )
whiie their forces arc m assed in the vicinity of
the fords ready to come down either side of the
river, when they can tol 1 the army of General
McClellan far enough at cay from the capital to
leave a clear roadway t* i Washington.
General McClellan is wide awake, and does
not intend to be take n bv surprise, nor to
allow a considerable re bcl force to get in his
rear.
The recent reconnoii nances have induced the
belief that the rebel vi sit to Maryland is only
a bold dash for fora ging, with the hope of
arousing the Secessim fists there, and of decoy
ing General MeClellar *’s army away from Wash
ington. In all respect a, except obtaining forage,
the movement is a ta ilure. The Maryland Se
cessionists outside o - f the rebel lines manifest
less disposition to r se than ever, and General
McClellan is too wa ry to be entrapped by the
enemy.
In Baltimore the Secessionists are represen
ted to be in a muck greater state of alarm than
the Union men.

Congress is left to determine the best mode
of raising this sum; and as there seems but
little prospect of raising tlie money by a sale
of hof-ids or stock, a resort to Treasury notes
seems to be all that will be leit to its discre
tion.
INTEREST BEARING NOTES.
The experiment of diminishing the qaantity
of circu lation by interest-hearing notes and de
posits o n call is said to have been very su >-
cessful, and is likely to be encouraged as a re
lief from excess in the quantity of the national
currency, which, as it exceeds the usual busi
ness wan ts of the community, must be produc
tive of hi ?h prices without relation to the ac
tualvalue of the currency.
It is understood that the interest notes, al
though current to a certain degree, have been
generally withdrawn front circulation, on t.c-
count of their value as temporary investments.
Most of them have been taken under the be
lief that the interest would be paid like ether
interest, and. the Secretary of the Treasury has
encouraged the belief by a recommendation to
Congress that the interest should be paid an
nually.
PROSPECTS OF ANOTHER WAR TAX—PAYMENT BY
THE STATES, ETC.
It is supposed that Congress will be under
the necessity of providing another war tax.—
From ’he war tax returns, and from estimates
as to so. N States as have not yet made com
plete returns, this fund may be set down at
seven hundred millions.
The \Y» - Tax has been paid by the several
States as 1 .Hows :
