[t sppears to be understood that on receiving thix report, all the officere (with per- baps the exception of General Sigel) who are sub- Jects of its accusations, were about to be relieved from duty uatil thelr cenduct could be investi. gated by the court of Inquiry—consisting of Gen- erals Mansfield, Cadwallader and Casey—which meets bere to-day, having been summoned in response to General McDowell's prompt demand for euch aconurt to investigate his conduct upon the retreat. The exigencies of the occasion, hewever, made !t absolutely necessary,we appre- hend, that they sheuld be continued in their sev- ern] commands, leaving the question of the action to be taken upon General Pope’s charges acalnst them to be determined wholly by the result of the court's investigations. Junge Advocate Holt Will, doubtless, make a thorough investigation of the whole matter. General Pope was on Saturday ordered to the command of a new Northweatern Department— against the hostile Indiansof Minnesota at pres- ent, we hear—with his headquarters at St. Paul’s- He left Washington yesterday, to take charge of it.

Phelps, of the 224 Ma chusetis volunteers, from bis command during the battles In front having been mentioned, it is due to him that the following explanation should be made : Col. Phelps was on leave of absence from the Wear Department for sickness. His leave expired September ist. The Colenel arrived in Wash- ington Thursday, August 28th, and immediately made application to the War Department for a pags to bia regiment. He was refused on the ground that the enemy was at that time between him and his regiment, and ordered to remain where he was until further orders. He made similar application to Gen. Wadsworth and Gen. Casey, with like results. He Joined his regimen; September 2d—the eerlicat moment he could reach it. —_—_.—__—_ OUR DEAD AND WOUNDED AT THE BAT PLE OF CENTREVILLE Late reliable reports from private sources from Centreville state that Col Flournoy, with a regi- ment of cavalry, is in command of that place, and that their pickets extend to within less than twelve miles of Alexandria. The i3%h Pennsyl- vania regiment reached the battle-field on Satar- day and commenced the interment of a number of dead, which have been undisturbed since the battle, except by the thieving hands of the rebels, who searched every pocket, and in many !nstances stripped the dead of their clothing. ‘The Union officers taken prisoners in the late battle were detained at Gainesville until Friday last, when they were all conducted to Richmond, with the exception of some of the more severely wounded, who were, by the humanity of Dr. Guild, Medical Director of Gen.

That ts: {a addition to what wes pub! in Baltimore this morniag, ail imp of which will be found in our columns. We may add to that information, that the Intest and most reliable intelligence from the south side of the body of Rebels have been fa the vicinity of Lees- burg since the passage through that quarter of Longstreet and his command (eatimated at 39,000), which proceeded in the direction of Noland’s and Edwards’s Ferry and the Pointcf Rocks 8, the force that has crossed into Maryland, below Harper’s Fer. A person who has reached bere from the vicinity of the Point of Rocks says thst yesterday a large division crossed the river at the Point of Rocks, which we take to bea portion of the force referred to above. Vigilant Inquiry bas satisfied us that nothing whatever Is known of the presence of any rebel infantry on the other side of Washington, this side of the Bull Rua mountains. We preaume toat the military authorities left by Gen. McCicl- lan on the other side have or will promptly take oocasicn to verify this fact, which, if verified, must prove of great importance in regulating the future movements of our army. It is alleged that the revel pickets In Maryland extend on the north some fourteen miles ont from Frederick, in the direction of Hagerstown. This, if true, strengthens the impression that the rebel column (probably under Jackson) that wae be- leved to have filed back through Thorougbfare Gap almost immediately after the battle of Satur- day last, have crossed or is crossing the river above Harper's Ferry with the purpose of assail- ing that point first, or of pushing directly on Into Pennsylvania; leaving Longstreet to amuse our army below to prevent them from being followed BACK OVER THE | ed | ortant portions | otomec represents that no considcrable ; INVASION OF MARYLAND. oe Marching for Pennsylvanta—Speech hy tha Traitor Bradley Johnson—Flight of tha Crtrzens—Cattle and Stores Sent to Ver- ginia. {From the Baltimore American. j Our city h y c ached the city to the cffect that the and were threat been cut during th som m Frederick arrives © left before the en-my reached there. ‘Th, liter brought such confitcting stories, that Itwes difficnit to say what was the real stete of atfaira, bat {twas evident that great excitement existed thrcug bout Frederick county and that the people were fiying for eafety inevery direction. ‘Phere were no Federal troops at Frederick or in its vici- nity, end the reports they brought were that Re- bel scouts had been seen in be vicinity of Buck- town, that the Government stores at Frederick had been destroyed, and that the people were flying towards Pennsyly nia in vast numbers | Phe excitement increased here yesterday with | the firmation ef the Rebel occupation of | Frederick, but there was no despondency among | loyal people, or fears as to the final reenit, THE FIRST NEWS FROM FREDERICK. On Saturday morning Mr. Smith, of the Balti- more and Ob{o Railroad, sent a train up the road with a party on a reconnolssance towards the Monocecy, to ascertain the condition of affaire in that vicinity. On arriving withia two miles of the Monocacy bridge the train stopped and the party proceeded on foot towards the bridge Aft-r moving along about a mile they met the bridge tender coming towards them. This was about 1 o’clock on Saturday afternoon. The bridge tender reported to them that about i o'clock on Satutday morning @ party of Rebel cavairy arrived at the Feederick Junction, aid having cut the telegraph wires and removed the struments, se.zed the operator and took him off. y did not interfere with any one elise or com- any demage to the station or the railroad bridg. The sinali Federal guard at the bridge retired on their approach, and not a single gun waa fired on either side, At a later hour in the morning a company of Rebel Infantry and cavalry arrived at the bridge and took posscasion, and placed pickets in all direction. At Buckeystown about four miles beyond the Frederick Junction the K ebels appeared La strong foree about & o'clock in the morning, having crossed the Petomac during the night at No- iasd’s Ford, which ts about five miles this side ef the Point of Rocks. They consisted of infen- > @rililery and cavalry, and are supposed to hve numbered nearly five thousand men. They are represented to have presented a most dilapi- dsted condition so far as clothing aud shoes wete concerned. The cavalry and artillery were nearly all barefooted, whiist a portion of the lafantry .were in the same condition Some of the latier had their feet tied up with rags or cov- ered with raw hides, and others with dilapidated shoes from which their tues were protruding. They are represented to have moved along qui- etly, as if having a thorough knowledge that there were no troops to impede their progress. It is aid that an advance guard bad preceded them during the night, who had camped at White Oak Springs, within three miles of Frederick. This latter party hed foraged along the road, purch:- sing cattle and sheep,which they seized and paid for, and had a good steck of provisions collected by the time the main body reached them. They brought with them nothing but ammunition trains. After partakang of food at the sprlags they took up their line of march for Frederick, first sending out feraging parties, who seized large numbers of cxt le and sheep, and drove them back across the river. It is said that they paid for the cattle thus seized in Virginia and South Carolina money and United States Preasury notes at a falr valuation, telling tte people that ihey came as friends, and not as enemies. At meny of the houses they found the propie had ail fied, carrying off their horses and cattle with them. As to whether any violence was used or depredations committed, we bave not heard ‘So far as ascertained no damage was committd to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, though it fs said that they destroyed the Monocacy Culvert of the Chesapeake and Onlo Canal, letting out the water, and of course suspending navigation with Washington. Their appearance on the railroad has of course suspended operations. Every car and locomotive between the Monocacy and Cum- ve until they may have time to do as much mischief | berland had been withdrawn on the previous day, in that State as they can safely, ere beating a hasty retreat back into Virginia. The fact that Longstreet ts said to be hurrying over the riversuch plunder—horses, cattle, stores, &c.,—as he can clutch, favors thi pression tha he means to follow in that direction as soon as McCleilaa may press bim We have rumors of a considerable engagement yesterday forenoon, between Sumner’s corps and’ Longstreet’s, in which the latter is sald to have been driven back over the river. We believe them untrue, though there was, doubtless, skirmishing between their respective pickets yesterday afier- noon, ours retiring, being greatly outnumbered for the moment. This must have occurred in the vicinity of Darnestown and Poolesviile, and our ickets engage4 were probably only cavalry. We can learn nothing up to noon to day to lead to the bellef that the rebels are advancing in force below Frederick Junction. Our forces are so those above the Potnt of Rocks at Cumberland, and those on this side to Elilcott’s Milis and the Relay House. It {salso understood that another division of the rebel force crossed the Potomac during Fri- ay night ata ford about three miles above the Point of Rocks, near Berlin, consisting of cavairy, artillery and infantry, and proceeded across the Frederick road, and thence making a junction with the other force at White Oak Spri TNE EXCITEMENT AT FREDERICK On Friday evening information was received at Frederick of the fact that a party of rebel cay- alry and artillery were at White Ocx Springs, and (iat they were collecting cattle and sheep from the farmers of the stirrounding country. The announcement of course created great excitement in Frederick, especially as it was understood that Bradley Johnson was with the rebel force. ’re- vious to this Information having been received. on Friday, a number of prominent secessionists had whispered to their loyal relatives and ac- quaintances that Frederick would be in the pos- session of the rebel troops before twenty-iour hours; that they had positive information of the fact. This intimation bad previously occasioned considerable excitement, and many Unionists who Disord confidence in the sources of informa- tion o¥ these sympathizers had made preparations te leave with their wives and children ‘The military force in Frederick consisted of but disposed as to be ready for them If moving elther | one ponbany made command of Capt Faithful, in this direction or in that of Baltimore, we ap- prehend. Jn twenty-four hours the mystery of the inten- tions of the rebel commanders will probably be cleared up in a great measure by their movements, the Provost hal, and of course no attempt could be made to defend the city from attack. The prominet Unionists having the dread of a Richmond prison before them, and knowing all resistance to be useless, expected no mercy from the notorious Bradicy Johnson.

The force was halled on Market street and a proclama- tlou Issued to the people. We have not been able to obtain a copy of the proclamation, but learn that it was to the effect that they came as ople of Maryland from the tyranny by which they were enchained; that they did not propose to in- terfere with any non-combatants, to disturb pri- vate property, or to inquire into their opinions; and trat whatever stores they might require would be paid for either in Confederate notes or United States Treasury netes, as the pcople might préfer. Of the latter money the men are represented as having ood supply, supposed to have been rifled from the bodies of the dead on the battle-fleld. A rebel provost marshal was appointed, with a strong guard to preserve order, and during the afternoon the streets were throngei with rebel soldiers, visiting the stores, wbich the provost marshal ordered to be opened, and purchasing shoes and clothing, of which they were in great want. So far as we could learn, strict order was preserved. One of our infcrmants states that a meeting of the citizens was called on Saturday evenings at which an address was delivered by Bradley Jehuson, who used the most conciliatory lan- guage, and made great predictions as to the power to hold Western Mary- More and Washington, land, but to capture Balt: and dictate terms of peice in Independence Square et Philadelphia. The rebel sympathizers generally attended the meeting, but the few Union men who had remained kept to their homes, At ten o’clock at night the men were all ordered to tcelr camps on the outskirts of the city, and the first day of rebel ruie in Frederick passed off The Federal flag was lowered from allt!

MARCHING FOR PENNSYLVANIA. We learn from a gentleman who left Frederick at five o’clock on Ssturday evening that a body of about one thousand men unger Bradley John- son was the ouly force that stopped in Frederick. short halt, and proceeded on the rosd to Emmitts- burg, !u the direction of Gettysburg, Pennsylva- nia. He states that he stopped three miles out, and that he supposes from 10 000 to 15 000 had sesed, and they were still pouring through the city and ont the Gettysbu g roaa. ‘The main body of the Rebel army was said to be under command of General Jeckson, who, it was reported, stopped for the night in Frederick, and It was supposed that the main portion of the army would encamp for the night within ten miles of the city. ‘The soldiers are represented as being by no means in such bigh spirits 28 might besuppes:d ‘They were generally quiet and sullen, and seemed to be fully aware of the bazerdous expedition on which they were being carried by their officers. ANOTHER REBEL ARMY We learn that intelligence was received yester- day from Harper’s Ferry, to the eflect that Colonel Ailles bad received information toat a large rebel army was moving from Winchester to Martins- burg, evidently with the Intention of crossing the Potomac at Williamsport, and striking off to- wards Hagerstown and thence to Chambersburg. The rebels in the vicin. Pf Teported that this army was urder the command of General Bragg, who at jast accounts was in East Tennessee, said to be on his way to Western Virginia, and from thence to Ohio. It is an Impossibility for him to have reached the vicinity of Winchester by this time, and have no doubt that whatever troops are in that vicinity must be a porilon of the recent army Richmond. . ors Federal force at Martinsburg isunder Gen. W bite, who recently evacuated Winchester. Yea- terday bis pickets were attacked by about 400 avalry, who were routed with consider- as. Whatever rebel force approaching in thet direction, have not yet passed Martins- burg, and consequently cannot bh the Poto- mac at Williamsport before this evening or to- morrow. Should Gen. White be menaced by the main body he will doubtless fall back either to Harper’s Ferry or cross into Maryland at Wil- liamsport and dispute the passage of the river at that point. INVASION OF PENNSYLVANIA. There ean no longer be any doubt that it Is the purpcse of the rebels to throw thetr entire army across the Potomac, as they have extended their pickets a distance of twenty miles on all the roads leading from Frederick, east and west, whilst the main column was at last accounts moving di- rect for the Pennaylvania line. Pickets are re- ported on the National read, within seven miles of Hxgerstown, a distance of about twenty miles from Frederick There 1s every reason to believe that the main body of the Tose anany will cross the Potemac by wy of Martinsburg, at Williamsport. and that the portion now passing through Frederick coun- ty 16 asi be lower line of defence. From Wii- liamspcrt their toute will be through Hagerstown to Chambersburg, and thence to Harrisburg. Ac- counts from the Susquehanna region represent the greatest excitement to be prevailing along the whole line, whilst the Unionists at Hagerstown are tleeing before the advancing column, there being no troops in that vicinity to stay their pro- rens. 5 It has been intimated that the destination of the rebel army is Harrisburg, though we do not see how they propose to cross the Susquehanna, as a few hours’ work would be sufiicient to de- stroy the shore spans of the pee over the river, where their progress would impeded It might, at the present low stage of water, be ford- ed at some points by infantry, but it would be impossible to drag artillery over its rocky bed, and such a force aa wiil be gathered on the op- pesite shore could make it a most hazardous un- derteking even for infantry. A few days will, however, show something of their purpose and destination, and we are not without our suspicions that they will first destroy our railroads and then sweep around towards Baltimore and Washington, depending en their superior fleetness to outmarch the Federal army, which they will endeavor to lead as far tron Washington es possible in pursult of them. PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENCE. Gen. McClelian bas commend of the entirearmy acting within and without the line of defence ef Washington, also embracing the defence of Bal- timore, and we learn that he will take the field this morning. As to the movement of troops to resist this invasion of Maryland, it would not be proper for us to state them at present, but should the rebels remain at Frederick there is no donbt that there will bea fierce battle in that vicinity within the next forty eigbt hours. In connection with this subject of the defence of Baltimore, it may be proper here to atate that the Feder: lines at Georgetown are twenty miles nearer to Frederick than to the city of Baltimore, and that the movement of troops from that place are to occupy the territory between Baltimore and. Frederick. Those who look for movements from Baltimore at the present time will therefore be disappointed. We are in possession of informa- tion thet Gen. McClellan bas made every pro- vision for the thorough defence of Baltimore and all its approaches. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. We learn that Bradley Johnsoa is left in com- mand at Fréderick as provost marshal. ‘Tke rebels had established pickets on the Bal- timore turnpike ten miles this side of Frederick, near New Market, where the pike crosses the rattroad. ‘We learn that the turnpike was yesterday lined with wagons coming towards Baltimore. The enemy did not interrupt them, allowing them to passon it was rumored yesterday that Generel Kenly is to ve placed in some important command in con- nection with the defense of the city.
