Bactimorg, July 9,7 p. m.—The am this city is intense aadon the increase | Crowd are thronging the bulletin geet and a thousand wild aud improbable rumors are in circulation. Railroad communication with western Mary- | Jand is still kept up.

We make this publication simply that the public may know the truth concerning the state of things in our front this morning, so far as it is known here.

General Wallace not deeming | himself strong enough to resist them, fell back to Monocacy bridge. Here he was attacked this morning in overwhelming numbers, and forced to iall back on reinforcements, which ‘were sent to his relief. The enemy were so | strong that it is reported our forces are still falling back, and that the rebels have destroyed the bridge at Monocacy. | ‘The Governor has issued the following PROCLAMATION. } Citizens of Baltimore: Wehave been unwil- | ling to create an unnecessary alarm or agita- | on in this community by any appeal for your immediate assistance in resisting the threatened invasion that may be deemed premature, but bave no longer such an apprehension, and have no hesitation in declaring that in our opinion } the danger which now threatens the city is im- minent, and if you would avert it every loyal man must at once prepare to meet it. ; The invading enemy is, by the last accounts, | approaching the city. H Ali the men that can be raised are wanted to occupy the fortifications already completed and to prepare others. It is not important bow you should come, bat most important that you should come at once—come in, your leagues or come in militia companies—but | come in crowds and come quickly.

Wallace in the direction of Baltimore. It is the belief in his command, we heir, that they purpote to come in this direction. A detachment of their cavalry was at Poole~- ville this morning, which indicated either that they were marching hitherward or aim to strike the Washington Branch railroad at or about Laurel. Information has reached here thata satistac- tory body of our yeterans are already in a po- sition from which they can reach either Wash- | ington or Baltimore before the revels can ap- pear in force in front of either city. The very large brigade of men employed in the Quartermaster’s Department here and in this vicinity mustered this forenoon at their various rendezvous, and will meet for drill this afternoon. They are ready for instant service if it be necessary to call them ont. \ If the impression that the rebel force that fought at Monocacy yesterday marched this forenoon in this direction be correct, we shall hear to-night of their cavalry being about our fortifications, and to-morrow of the appearance of their infantry in the same quarter. | shown by ‘T ¥MPERANCE MEETING, SUNDAY At- } TER!

Wallace, at the Monocacy, is posted in a po. sition of great strength, and the forces of vet- eran and other troops constantly reaching him will be ample to secure him from being dislodged, and he will speedily in turn be able to put the enemy on the defensive.

From parties coming up on her we learn that on Thursday night the rebels brought a battery to bear upon a working party of ours who were engaged in throwing up earthworks nearer to Petersburg, and for awhile 1 sharp cannonading took place, our men having also brought up a battery to oppose that of the reb- els; and that the latter was soon silenced. Sub- sequently the rebels took up anew position, and again opened upon our working party, but finding they could accomplish nothing they ceased. | With this exception all has been quiet fora | few days past. But this is butthe preliminary | moment of quiet before the storm. Grant } | never was more hopeful of taking Richmond, never was better prepared and was never be- | foreso near the accemplishment of his purpose ) asatthismoment. All this may seem para- | doxical in view of the revel «Great Calcula- tions” of creating a diversion from Richmond | by their Potomac raid, but it is strictly true as i } ! | time will show. Hon, John Coyode, of Pennsylvania, came up on the Highland Light, bringing up the body of his son, Col.G. H. Covode, of the ith Pennsylyania cayalry, who was killed while protecting the rear of Sheridan’s train, while crossing James riverin its late movement from the White House to join the main army. Mr. Covode went down on Tuesday last, and as the body of the Celonel was in the rebel lines, four of his own company volunteered to search out the spot where he fell. Permission was obtained and they started on their mission and got safely throngh the lines and returned. The next night General Sheridan detailea a company of 40 men, who, under cover of a iginboet detailed for the purpose, landed at . Marys, in Charles county, and ayoiding ihe rebel pickets, secured the body. His body had been interred by some negroes, who placed boards around the grave. These negroes state that Col. Covode lingered ; all night and died the morning after being | Wounded. Before he died the rebels took from him his watch, money and valuables, and then stripped him of all his clothing except his shirt. A PIC-NIC PARTY StU D bY Yesterday a te of young ladies and gene tlemen had a pic-nic near Falls Church, Va, ; and in the midst of their pleasures they were surprised at the appearance of about twenty- five of Moseby’s men, who told them not to be afraid, and danced # set with the ladies, after which they went to the wagons and devoured the cream and edibles provided for the oeva- sion. They then made off. GUER EXAMINATION OF COLORED OFFICKKS. The total number of colored officers exam- ined by the Examining Board up to this time is 2471.

Another Fire at Harper’s Ferry—Another Advance Towards Frederick—A Fight in Progress. The rebel invasion of Western Maryland continues to be the exciting topic, and each and every train that reaches this city via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from that sec- tion of the State brings quite a number of refugees, As usual, their statements of the number of the rebels, the fights, Ac., vary con- siderably, and are all gleaned from what they heard. Since Thursday night we searn trom official sources the following state of affairs in that region "fhe rebels have left Harper’s Ferry and Bol- ivar Heights, and a brigade of General Sigel’s troops (who were on Maryland Heights) have reoccupied those places, and at last accounts held them, their being no signs of the enemy in that vicinity. The railroad is in working order between this city and Sandy Hook, opposite the Ferry, and cars run to that point. ‘There was another extensive fire at Harper’s Ferry on Thursday night. The bridge over the Shenandoah -was in flames, and a number of buildings in various parts of the town. The enemy y bad | reviously burned the extensive railroad platform, and all the buildings along the fine of the Potomac. The conflagration on Thursday night threw a glow over all the conatry for miles around. ‘The main body of the rebels is supposed to pe in the neighnornob of ‘Mechanicksburg, watching for pearance of Gen. Hunter, and the opinion ing general that they do not number the half of thirty thousand. During Thursday night all was quict near eet though the rebel lines were within mite of the western-timits-ef the city, occu- »ying the country back as far as Kuobby Mountain.

Information was received from Harrisburg yesterday afternoon that Gen. Imboden, with about 1,500 cavalry, had returned to Hagers- town and destroyed all the railroad and cya ernment he's 2a inthatplace, He crossed the river above Williamsport. A dispatch received from Gen. Couch, to the military authorities in this city, last night, stated that Imboden had again lett Hagerstown, and was proceeding iowards Frederick. Gen. Conch had a ferce near Hagerstown at last ac. counts. The latest information last night, Was to the effect that the rebels were retreating before Gen, Wallace's forces.—Baifrmore Sun, 9th. ging Movement of Troops. aoe the Cleveland Herald.} We men Frm @ few days ago that there ‘were findications of an immediate movement on Mobile. The troops in the unfortunate ex- tion under Gen, Banks have sailed from w Orleans for some destination—where, is the q question. Sixteen thousaud men had isft New Orleans prior to the 19th ult., and8,000 more up to the date of the latest advices. One opin- ion is that they have gone to reinforce General Grant—another that they have moved to at- tack Mobile. The sudden landing of twenty- five thoneand veterans under General Canby at Mobile would make a stir among the rebels under Johnston; should the Louisiana vete- rans be added to the army of the Potomac, Grant will the sooner be able to press Lee to extremity. The New Orleans expedition must m be heard from.
