Tam able to state, om the highest authority, that a corps d’armce will move at the earliest possible moment from Pennsylvania, through Maryland, towards Washing- ton, under command of General Patterson. ‘The developement of every day now go to show that ‘the federal government has had {ta plans for the sup- pression of the Southern rebellion perfectod weeks ago, and that they are being carried out with remarkable promptnees andenergy. The corps d’armer now col- | leoting under the command of Genoral Patterson will move in two columns through Maryland, one down the Northern Contrai and the other the Wilmingt and Bal- timore Railroad. Fisch will be ten thousand strong. Another corps of ten thousand will be organized at An- napolis, ready to march upon Baltimore in case of hortili- ties. ‘The statement that the government has issued an order calling out forty thousand volunteers for throe years, twenty-five thousand regulars for Sve years, and cighteen thonsand seamen for five, is erroneous.

Over a thousand men are now inside the fort, and nearly an equal number, including two batteries of ‘lying artillery, busily engaged ontside throwing up earthworks and placing batteries. Fort Pickens may now be considered safo ag against any forces the cotton rebel can possibly bring against it: Fort McHonry is now garrisoned by over twelve bun. éredmen, About « thousand volunteers were thrown into it afow days ago under cover of night. The acquaint. ance of the secession leaders of Baltimore with this fact bad doubtlessly much to do with their manifest disposi- tion to yield the paseage of Northorn troop through their city. .
