Movenenta of Pennsyloanian Iroops—4 Route to be Kept Open to Washing’on, de. The Pennsylvania troops that reached Ashland, Mary- land, yesterday morning, as J informed you in my last despateh, were ordered back to this place late last night, by authorlty of the War Department, with directions to g0 by way of Philadelphia, where they are to move, in conjunction with about five thousand others from this State, together with New York and New England forces The intention of the government is to open communicr- tion with Washington, by way of Wilmington, Delaware; thence by the canal to Elkton, down the &lk river, through Chesapeake bay by steamer to Annapolis; thence by railway to Washington. The mouth of the harbor to Baltimore, in tho bay, will be guarded by United States naval ships, and this route to the federal cxpital will be kept open, The feeling of the State authorities here is decidedly against withdrawiog the troops from Ashland now that they have been sent there, and the masses of the people are highly indignant. Caleb Cushing reached here thig morning from Hagers town, and to the surprise of every one who knows this vertatile politician he called upon Gov, Curtin aad com" municated the fact that he heard there were nine or ten | tnousand Virginia troops in that vicinity. He said be did not know where they were going, but from the arrange- me of the cars—a large number of which were there— he should think they were intent on Washington, but per- hape Baltimore. If thege troops are really going to Wash ington there is’ the inore reagon in keeping the Peansyl” yanian forces at Ashland, which would have been,re- inforeed to-day by about eix thocsand more, including Sherman’e splendid battery, With this force the federa! authorities could have cut the rebels off at the Relay House, whereas now, if Mr. Cushing’s theory is correct, they are very likely to reach Washington before tho fede- ra! troops can possibly do so by way of Annapolis. Volunteering is going on here witb great rapidity, and new companics are pouring in from every «direction hourly.
