McCilellan’s front, ‘which has vanced to within six miles of Poolesville. Reports from York, Pa., yesterday say that the rebels Ahad not entered York county, but were reported to be at Emmettsburg, on a line not more than eight miles from @ettysburg. They had stationed their pickets six miles’ from Union Bridge. ‘There are no signs of an approach of the rebels towards Westminster. THE REBELS NEAR ELLICOTT’S MILLS. Euicorr’s Mrs, Sept. 9, 1862. On Monday the robels captured two telegraph operators @t Plain, Nos. 1 and 4. The rebel pickets are within four miles of the Mill’s, ‘and a large force under General Fitzhugh Lee, estimated ‘at from five to twenty thousand, is at Newmarket. Billings Hobart, a noted secessionist, is in custody « the Relay House. He will probably be tried as a spy. Two men from Frederick say that there are but few $roops there. Those who were there op Saturday night moved during the night. ‘The robels are in a state of great destitution; many of them are shocloss, and are enly kept in the ranks at the point of the bayonet. Large numbers of rebels are at Newmarket, cight miles from Frederick. THE REBELS AT HAGERSTOWN. ‘Harrwnoxa, Pa., Sept. 10, 1862. Intelligence of a reliable character is received to the ‘effect that the rebels, under Stosewall Jackson, entered Hagorstown in force this afternoon. The operator left ‘whilo the rebels were entering the town. Arrangoments for the defence of this city are going for- ward, and the order issued by the Governor to-day is con @idered on ali sides to be @ just, proper, precautionary Measure. It may be the forerunner of an actual cali probably soon to be made. ‘There is nothing later from Hanover or York. Harnisacre, Sept. 10—P. M. ‘The rebels, it is presumed , have arrived at some point eu the Northern Central Railroad, as the telegraph ling has been tampered with, and the words ‘Damned Yan- kee” beard by the operator here. It is not thought tbat ¥afiroad communication bas yet veen interrupted. Information from Hagerstown is to the effect that the rebels have not yet entered that place. The Mayor bas ‘frrived at Greencastle ,and says that Jeckson’s advance guard at six o’cleck this evening was said to be within ez miles of Hagerstown. Wasntnaton, Sept. 10, 1862. A gontleman arrived here, whe left Hagerstown yestor- @ay, reports that many of the Union citizens have left» and the secessionists even do. not desire the appearance of the rebels. THE DEFEAT OF THE REBELS NEAR POOLES- VILLE. Wasuincron, Sept. 10, 1862. ‘The action yosterday, of the Eighth Illinois cavalry, ‘ander Colonel Farnsworth, was with oight hundred of @olone) Ashby’s oldcavairy. It took place between Pooles- ‘ville and Darnestown. The rebels had fifteen killed and ‘wounded, including one captain. We took six prisoners. Our toss was one killed and seven wounded. This fore- noon Farnsworth again met a portion of them at Clarks- Durg and took thirty of them prisoners. They have already arrived at headquarters, Some of them were Barefoot and bareheaded, and all of them in rags. One @f them wore nothing but his underclothes. THB REBELS IN FORCE ON THE POTOMAC, . ‘Wasurxaton, Sept. 9, 1862. There ig no dowbi that the rebels in large force are be- twoen Dranesville and Leesburg to-day, apparently de- signing to cross into Maryland from those pomts. By thio time we have troops enough there to prevent them from consummating their object. Beyond these facts ‘but little if anything can be learned. ‘There is nothing reliable from further up the Potomac: Six prisoners of the Twelfth Virginia cavalry, who were aptured by a detachment of Farnsworth’s lilinols eaval- ry yesterday, were brought to Washington this morning aod provided with accommodations at the Old Capitel priaon, It i® represonted that the chivairy were put to fogiorious flight in the brief ekirmish, and left on the field several dead and wounded. ‘Troops are constantly arriving and being assigned to Proper positions. REPORTS FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC. Wasminoton, Sept. 10, 1862. The city has been filled to-day with rumors of skir- mishes and battles on the Upper Potomac. At one time we hear that General Burnside has engaged the @memy,and won 4 splendid victory; at anothtr, we are ‘told that his forces have met with a terrible ropulse, and.as usual, been cut all to pieces. Again, a soldier, protending to have just arrived from Edward's Ferrye describes a skirmish between a party of Gen. King’s division and of Gen, Purnside’s forces with a body of Stuart's cavalry attempting to go back to the Virginia side, in which twenty of our men were killed and wounded, and twice ag many of the enemy, and three undred rebels taken prisoners. Upon investigation it 1® ancertained that there is not one single word of truth in any of these stories. ‘There is no doubt that the papers of to-morrow in the principal cities will be filled with such rumors; but the troth is there bas been no battle, and so far as can be accurately ascertained not even a skirmish on the Upper Potomac during to-day. Recont reconnoissances as far as Warrenton disclose the feet that, with tho exception of a very small body of ra- Del cavalry at Bristow’s Station and at Centreville, there are no rebel troops upon the whole of that line, It is manifest, also, that they have not gone back upon the road (hey came, and they must, therefore, be looked for } NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1862.

News from Frederick City—The Rebels Still Occupy Frede- rick, but are Moving Two Strong Columns to Pennsyl- vania—Designs of the Rebel Leaders, dc. , dc. From @ resident of Frederick county, a very intelli. gent gentleman, I have learned the following facts:—My informant left his residence, a few miles north of Frede- rick City, yesterday morning, and arrived here late last night. He represents Frederick City as being still in the undisputed occupancy of the rebels, but they are not there in any strong foree. Al! of their principal gonerais, however, were there the day before he left. Free in- gress and egress to and from the town was permitted, and be beard and saw much that was interesting. Aides. de camp were continually riding into town on horses covered with sweat, bringing reports, and riding of again on fresh horses with orders. He found that these aids all took roads which would lead them towards Hagerstown. He was informed by people there whom be knows, and whose intelligence and veracity be can depend on, that the maiu body of the rebel forces is new moving northwards into Pennsylvania; that one strong column was passing through Hagerstown, and another one through Emmettaburg, towards Gettysburg. ‘Their intentions were plainly declared. They were to invade Pennsylvania with 80 strong a force as to make resistance on the part of the Pennsylvania troops unavailing; to propocd to Marrisburg ang capture that city , to destroy, if possible , the Pennsylvania Centra) Raflroad; to strike fot the town of York, in Pennsylvania, and (o destroy the railroxd leading from Harrisburg to Baltimore, and to destroy also a portion of the railroad between Baltimore and Havre de Grace, so as to cut off all communication by railroad between Baltimore and the North. QUR WINCHESTER CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Winouxsren, Md. , Sept. 9, 1862. The Declopments of the Day—The Intentions of the Re- dels, die. The developments of the last few days indicate a more tedious campaign upon the Potomac than was at first an- ticipated. Either tbe main body has gone towards Win- chester, or 8 massed in the vicinity of the fords on tho Potomac, in order t be in & dosition to be precipitated upon this city if General MeClelian should march bie army towards Frederick, or to rapidly pase the river and at- tack the capital upon the Maryland side, if he should cross the Potomac and jook for them upon the Virginia bank. They have evidently been playing a game of bo. peop, but all the while gathering in from the Maryland side supplies sufficient to support their army for many weeks. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS.

M. our impression with reference to the Movements fof the robels is much altered; that is, hear- ing no confirmation of the rumors that they have made their appearance in Pennsvivania, and learning that no ‘one estimates their force that passed through Frederick , on their way west, at over fifteen thousand, and now finding that, while they have been hurrying troops from the direction of Ceatreville up to the fords of the river, they are not to be found in any force on the Maryland side, we are brought to the conclusion that those of (hem who are in Maryland came simply to plunder in Frederick and Washington counties, expecting to escape back into Virginia via Hancock. If this be true their hope is that MeClollan will hasten after their marauding force with the bulk of his army, thus affording to the greater part of theirs massed in Virginia in the immediate vicinity of the fords an oppor. tunity of crossing the river in bis rear, and making a des at dash upon Washington and its fortifications on the faryland side.
