A faithful and manly protest against this outrage, made by a vonerable and i!lustrious Marylander,to whom io ‘Bester days no citizen appealed for right in vain, was Qweated witb scorn and contempt. ‘The government of your chief city has been usurped by med strangers; your Legislature has been dissolved by ‘Me uniawfal arrest of its members; freedom of the press ama of npeech has ‘been suppressed; words bave becn @eclared offences by an arbitrary decree of the federa! @mecutive; and citizens ordered to be tried by military ‘(@emmissions for what they may dare to speak. Believing that the people of Maryland possess a spirit too lefty to submit to such a government, the people of ‘Be South have long wished to aid you in throwing off @als foreign yoke, to enable you again to enjoy the in- @iienabie rights of freemen, and restore the independence ‘amd sovereignty of your Btate. ‘In obedience to this wish, our army bas come among yee, and ie prepared to assiat you with the power of its ‘wus in regaining the rights @f which you bave been #0 ‘emjuatly deepoiled. ‘Bale, citizens of Maryland, is our mission so far as you ‘wrecondermed.

R. E. LEE, General Commanding. THE FORCES OF GEN. McCLELLAN IN POS. SESSION OF SUGAR LOAF MOUNTAIN. Pur.aparrmia , Sept. 11, 1863. One of the special despatches from Poelesville states that eur troops occupy Sugar Loaf Mountain. It is eight miles Berth of Poolesville. It ia about two miles frem the Menecacy. It was beld by the rebels as a signal station ‘while Pooleaville was in their occupation, and from it, ‘with a good telescope, very clear view of Washington qual be obtained. It is therefore an important position. RECONNOISSANCE AT SUGAR LOAF MOUN- TAIN—THE REBELS DECLINE BATTLE. Wasrixoton, Sept. 11, 1862. ‘There bas been nothing new from the front to-day. At (Sagar Loaf Mountain,» reoonnciseance on the part of some ‘Union cavaral drew a response from the rebel artillery; ‘but when a division was brought up for an assanit, the vedels evacuted the position. It is not yet diffinttely known what force of rebels may be found upon the north side of the Monocacy, but the army is in porsuit of them. § Tne reports from the Virginia side of the Potomac: ‘taken in copnection with those from the Upper Potomac tm Maryland, indicate that the whole rebel army, estima- mated at from 150,000 to 200,000 men, je somewhere upon the Upper Potomac, but ai) necessary precautions have ‘@een taken to teach them a lesson which will never be forgotten. ‘Washington is regarded as absolutely impregnabie. Union refugees from Frederick, who have investigated the position of affairs, are satisfied that after Sunday next they may return to their homes with perfect safety. THE ADVANCE OF THE UNION ARMY. ‘Wasuiretor, sept. 13, 1862. Advices from headquarters are to yesterday morning at ted o'clock. The army had advanced as far as the vil- lage of Damascus, thirty-four miles from Washingwn, @bout four miles from the Frederick county line, and six- teon from Frederik City. Ignoranve of any euch incident @ontradicts a story vory prevalent of a battle of General Durnside’s div sion, and its doveat. Rocaviie, Sept. 10—Evening. Poolosville, about ven miles from here, is the farthest potat up the river we now oocupy; but as to movements generally 1t would now be improper to speak. ‘No word has recently been received of Colonel Miles, ‘who has been occupying Harper’s Ferry. The impression ‘ts that he bas left that point by this time, as it would be tmaporsible for him to hold that position while the enemy oooupy Frederick and may mareb upon Hagerstown, which is anticipated, No one soema to have any dofinite knowledge of the gumerical force now in Maryland. e There is no doubt the enemy are throwing all their available force into Maryland. ‘Two deserters from the Twenty-fourth North Carolina regiment arrived here to-day, They state that two of ‘oir brigades marched dircotly from Richmond to Frede- wick, ‘The supply trains of the rebels continue to cross into Maryland, bat Bone are known % return, Our troops advanced this morning.

A scout from Frederick says that he was in Frederick yeeterday, and that the rebels breke up their encamp- ment at balf-past one that morning, and marched fu the dircetion of Hagerstown, Stonewall Jackson lead- ing. Ho saw them marching from their numerous en- campments from five A. M. till nine P.M.. the time he left Frederick. They were principally infantry aud artil- Jery, the latter nutnbering over three hundred pieces, some of which were very large. Generals Robert E. Lec, Jackson, Cobb and other genersis were present.. He saw, 86 he supposed , 5,000 cavalry near Newmarkot which had not left camp. GEN. McCLELLAN’S CONDUCT APPROVED. ‘Wasnincton, Sept. 11, 1862. ‘The opinion gains ground that the rebels are in great strength on the Upper Potomac. Gen. MoCiellan’s care- folness, & is said, is approved by military men, for it is folt that we are daily gaining more strength than the rebels. OUR FREDERICK ‘CORRESPONDENCE. Near Frepeniox, Md., Sept. 9, 1862. Phe Rebel Army in Frederick and Its Vieinity—Dirty and Dilayidated Condition of the Troops—Joys and Sorrows of Secession Sympathizers, dc. ‘The aspect of the handsome and hourishingiuile city 0°, Frederick has changed considerably within. the justfew days. ‘‘Aparmy with banner” has camped round wd about the city. The rebels are there in foree. Their numbers are variously estimated at from forty to one hundred and fifty thousand. The best information places their present strength at about s hundred thousand. This is the opinion of intelligent mon who haye seen them, and who haye had other reliable means of in- formation. Tbe rebels way they have come over into Maryland to ‘‘redeem” the State. They have not distinct- ly stated which of the generals ‘is to be looked upon as ber fedeemer, though it is expected that Stonewall Jackson is the mon. Quite a number oftheir prominent generals are in Frederick and vicinity. General Lee, Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate forces, is there, and has bis headquarters intown. Stonewall Jackson bos his headquarters in the house near the forks of the road a few miles from the city. Longstreet and Hill, with their divisions, are bivouacked about there, while the remainder of the forces which have crossed are stationed at different points, and the bivouacs extend back to the Potomac. ‘The main body of the rebel army has crossed the river, and the soldiers are feasting on the good things of this productive region. Hitherto, since leaving the vicinity of Richmond, they have beem subsisting almost entirely en green corn, apples and potatoes, procured on the way. Some of them stated that just previous to this incursion into Maryland they had not eaten anything for nearly three whole days. But when they caine ‘into this State Jarge numbers of cattle and sheep were purchased and killed, and the troops had a grand and sumptuove feast. Nearly all the provigions in Frederick have been de- voured already , and some of the citizens are apprehensive that, if the army remains any considerable Jength of time ip this immediate vicinity, the people will havo great difficulty in procuring the necessaries of life. The strects of Frederick City are swarming with Confederate soldicrs: ‘The Provost Marshal has placed a guard over the stores, to prevent wanton and indiscriminate depredatione. Among the batteries in Frederick is the company or- ganized in Richmond and known as the Maryland Artillery. It is composed principally of rebels from this State, who smuggled themselves over into Virginia during the earlier days of the rebellion. Tho famous Stuart fis presevt with his cavalry. There is no question that a large por- tion of tbe rebel army of Virginia is now in Maryland, that more are crossing, and that troops are passing Ubrough Richmond from the southward on their way hither. This rebel army presents a most miserable ap_ pearance, Scareely uny. two soldiers are droseod alike . Many are Wttle more than half clad at best. It is alracst mipessidle to form an adequate idea of their ragged, dirty and destitute condjtion, Their want of clothing has been 20 great tbat they have had to strip the uniforms from ‘our Union soldiers who have fatien on the battle field. A Confederate captaia gave a graphie account of bow and why they did it. He said that after the recent battles near Manageas his meu stripped the caps, coats, paut® and boots from the bodies of the lead, and from some of the wounded Union soldiers, in erder to relieve their own pressing necessities for clothing. Tho lack of shoes is particalarly apparent. Thore is hardly a decent pair w be seen on apy of thom. Many have oniy frag- ments of shoes on, the invisible portion having been Jong since worn away; some have their feet bound up in rags; others are entirely barefoot, while cthers still can be feon with bleeding feet, which baye been cut vy the sharp stones in marching. ‘The troops are ail ina mort fithy condition. It is pori- Lively offensive to be near them. ThéY look as if they bad not waehed themecives or changed any of their clothing since they eviered the service. Even Iradley T. Johwaon had to forego the Mxory of a ehirt nti be roturned to bis native State. He came back to Frederick without one; did not have one to wear to church on Sun, day; but by this time some of his numerous secession friends must have ministered 10 his necersities in that particulay. A Though the men m the rebel army have beon baif famished, fatigued, and are in'such a ragged and despe- rate condition, most of them are still strong in their de nunciations of our Northern people, our goyornment and our flag. The want of clothing apd provisions, as well as the ulterior designs of the rebel loadern, have induced them to cross the Potomac aad set tho invading foot in Maryland and over the boundary line into Pennsylvania. They expect, by the liberal course they bave said they will pursue on this side of the Potemac, to considerabiy increase their decimated ranks. They antisipate that nearly all the secession sympathizers in this State will soon rally round their treasonable standard. In this, however, they will find themselves mistaken. From" the manifestations of aympathy made soon after their arrival, their ever hopoful commanders were mduced to believe that Maryland will soon furnish as mapy men to tho rebelarmy as ber full quota of conscripts would number. The progpect"of plonty to eat aud wear, as wel! as an expectation of ‘redeeming’ Maryiand, has dono much to keep their courage up. Already a number of young men ftom this part of the State havo joined the rebel army. They will be the most bivter in their hatred of their loyal neighbors, most vile and vituporative in their language towards them, and most determined to in” jure them in every manner possible. Loyal inhabitants are now, in some instances, threatened ‘condign pun’ ishment by their exultant rebel tie said that every Union man in this and the adjoining counties is marked; that liste are made ont of ai} loyal-citisens, and that everything whieh can be done will be done to injure them. Such is the vindictive spirit of the rebels, & pity it is that thoy showld labor #0 lovg under such in, fatuated bailucinations, Bow much better if they would return to thoir old allegiance. ‘There ' # groat deal of excitement ip tbe rural digirigie NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1862. of thie vicinity, The war and ithe anticipated approach of the robois constitute the allabsorbing topic Of conversation. Many Union citizens are need” Yeealy alarmed. Quite a large number of the prominent people of Frederick have left for parte waknown, and every morning balf a dozen, more or lege, are found miesing in the townn and villages of thie part of Mary- land. A short time since a number of active Union men caused a crowd of strong secession sympathizers about the country here to be arrested and brovght befere Gene- rai Woo}. The accusation was that thoy belonged to a guerilla band which was being organized. Geueral Wool, finding no adequate substantiation of the charge, releasod thom, and they returned to their homes with impreca- tions on their lips against thoge-Union men, Fearing that the threats might be put. into execution, some of those Union men have now left their. homes and fled to somo other place for safety, It is very Yoolish for any of those Citizens-to leave their homes. They need haye no appre- hension of danger to either themselves or their property, At present, though the wildest rumors are aftoat, no eno- my is usar them. The rebels have not gone to Westmin- | ster, New Windser, Union Bridge, Uniontown or Tanoy- town, and have vot becu seen in the vicinity, To-day it ‘was ascertained that some of those inhabitants who had go xe away affrighted a few days since were naw returp- ing to their homes. . Some of the secession sympathizers are jubilant over the invasion of Maryland. They hardly know how to re- straia their joy. Some, under the mad excitement and infatuation of the hour, have joined thé rebe) army. ‘These are mostly young men who have been home har- vesting. Other secession sympathizers there are who’ have been most anxious, judging from their previous oon- “uct and conversation, to have Maryland “redeemed” by the rebels. But pow that the rebels have come their tune fe changed. Instead of “‘redemption’” they see.imvesion, and that suggests not the realization of perfect liberty, ‘Dut visions of devastated fields and farms. When they fimd that the war is brought to their own doors, and begin to approciate the fact of the actual appearance of the army in their midst, or expectations of ite speedy arrival on their premises, they begin to realize the fact that the “yedemption” of Maryland is not exactly the thing they had dreamed it to be. At ia difficult to determine the precise plans and opera- tions of the enemy. The rebel army in the vicinity of Frederick is under marching orders, Some marauding parties may go off towards ond crosa thé Penn, sylvania line, for the purpose of creating excitement among the inhabitants, and directing public attention in that quarter, Bot it is soif evident that the main body of the army would not move away from the Potomac for the purpose of in- ‘vading and overruning Pontsylvania. It would thus leave its flanks exposed, and the result would be disastrous to the rebels. But it is nppazent that thoy are playing a @ecp game. When all the troops which they 1ntend to Mmen@nyre shail be in readivess, they will make feints at soveral points, while their grand ulterior object is the capture of Washington and Baltimore both. With our army defeated, the national capital in thoir hauds, Baltimore and the whole of Maryland ‘‘redeomed,” their object would be at ied, their triumph would be cor. plete, European Powers would speedily recognize their sndependence. » "| (hy vould propose terms of peace to us from Wash igtou if. ‘This ig the fond dream of the rebel Jeaders. lin! “ army arrayed Jikea@ \.« enongh for us to know 1) be accomplished.

Thave'seen to-day other parties who came from the neighborhood of Frederick City yesterday, and learn from. them the fallowing facts:—Podies of rebel troops have con tinued to erogs the Potomac near Poiut ef Rocks during the “Jest three-days. They are compored of treops of a!i arms— cavalry, artillery and infantry. The troops appear to be well armod, but indifferently clothed, and they have no long trains of baggage wagons. A few baggage wigons ac- company each division. It is observed that the cavairy soldiers have very fine horses, and that tie artillery Borscs are large animals, in splendid condition. The design of Gen. cc is to draw the Union force after them as far ap possible, by moving themselves to Hagerstown, but to make «@ stand there and fight. The rebel [officers have repeatediy declared that by the time they reach Hagerstewn, or whatever Point General Loe may elect for the battle, they will be etrong enough to dofeat tho whole Union army. They do not mean by this that they expect reinforce” ‘ments from Marylanders. They do expect at least 10,000 Marylanders to join them there, and 40,000 when they move on Baltimore. But what they mean is, that by tho Ume General Lee is ready to give battle (and they say he cannot be forced to fight till he i ready) he will have around him such s force of disciplined rebel troope as will epable him to “efeat the Union forces. ‘This viow of the ease is corroborated by what I have learned from another rource: Some parties direct from Richmond arrived hore yesterday: They say that the intention of General Lee to make this demonstration im Maryland was ‘well known in Richmond. . The pur pore of it was understood there to be to draw a part of the Union army away from Washington, to retire before this Ubion army as it approached, until it was drawn into such ® position as General Loe wished, and then, on ground of bis own chooving, it ie aaid tit General Lee ‘will attack the Union troops in such strength that he will be sure to defent them. It is said that, ip order to cons of this project, the whole of the rebel reville hag followed the advance guard which entered Frederick lest juréay, loaving oply a corps of observation at Centrevill®, and that, in addition to this, large reinfurcements of fresh troopa bave arrived at Gordonsvilie during the last tea days, and have been tent forward io Manaseas Junction. According to this authority, the number of rebe! troops designed for this Maryland expedition is not 150,000, but 260,000. The rebels are doubtless fully aware of the desporate character of the undertaking, and they are de- terminod net to fail. Failure—dofeat in Maryland—would be anpibilation to their army, and the end of the rebel- lion, and they do not intend to fail, ‘The fecessionists bere are calm and quiet, bat confi- dent. They do not expoct Baltimore to be either attacked or destroyed. Their theory of Gen. Leo's movements is that he if mancvvoring ¢0 as to keep the Union forces at ‘day until the whole of bis own army i# concentrated, and that ilen be will no longer decline a battle. Of the result of that battle they have no fears. They say that Gen- Tee will be strong enough to defeat the Cajon army, and that, having done #0, howill then march instantly for Washington, and enter the capital from the direction of Rockvilie or Bladensburg, while the ether division of the rebel army, pow at Ceotroville, advances to the attack or the Virginia forte. Some apprehensions have been felt here for the safety of the Northern Central Ra:lroad, between here and Har. risburg; but up to this time these apprehensions havo been groundices. The trains, both on it and on the West- orn Maryland Rafiroad (from Baltimore to Westminster)» are running as usual, The railroad track je said to be Strongly guarded, and it is said that no divaster can befall the road while this guard fr faithful, Bautiwone, Sept. 11, 1962.

Genera! Lee is laughing im his sleeve at the terror he has aspired in Pennsylvania, Nothing was further from hie intention than the invasion of that State as part of the campaign, ‘The sole objet which he has in view is the capture of the city of Washington. Upon the success or failure of his attempt to do this ho has staked his military reputation and his Jie; and, mere than that, the success or fai'ure of the rebellion if staked upon the issue. There will be ‘f battle soon for the possession of Washington.
