Wasuincron, Sept. 13, 1862. ‘Wash ington has been in gay humor to-day over intelli gence received from Frederick and Harper's Ferry.

Ts has been pretty well emtablished that the whole rebel army was engaged in this raid upon Maryland, and {t is cquaily true that they will find much greater ditticulty im getting out of it than they did in en tering it. Deserters, prizoners, scouts and civilians, who havo had opportunities of examiving the condition of the rebel force, all agree that the priveipa) purpose of this daghing foray was to obtain supplies. ‘The starving men of General Lee’s ormy have been fed from tho abundance of the fertile counties of Maryland, but althongh thoy have driven to the Virginia shore large numbers of horses and gattle, they do not possess transportation sufficient to earry off with them more ‘gban a few days’ rations, The Union amy i¢ opemtheir track, aud they will hardly bo abio to: ononpe the punishment ready to be in- fiicted upon them for their desperate adventure in crossing the Potomac.

HOOKER AT FREDERICK. CANNONADING AT HARPER'S FERRY—CAPTURE OP @EBEL WAGON TRAINS. Bartmwors, Sept. 13, 1862. Our information in regard Lo the crossing of the rebels over the Potomac river is from Cumberland, and from a most reliable source. A despatch from Frederick at noon to-day says that heavy firing in the direction of Harper’s Ferry com- menced early this morning, and continued until eleveu o'clock. It theu ceased, and commenced again at noon. General Hooker took possession of Frederick last night, and General McClellan entered that city with his staff this morning. A despatch also says that we bave captured the rebels’ Wagon trains. Prisoners released by the revels say that they told them that they were on their way to attack Harper’s Ferry. ‘the impression at Frederick undoubtedly was that the eannonading was at Harper's Ferry. HEAVY FIRING IN THE DIRECTION OF WIL- LIAMSPORT, HannisavnG, Pa., Sept. 18, 1842. Heavy artillery fing was heard at Greencastle and Chambersburg this morning, in the direction of Wil’ Namsport. The main body of the rebel army is at Boons¥bto. Their pickets Lave been driven to the State line. State troops continue to arrive and leave for Chambers- ‘burg as fast as traneportation can be forwarded. General Lee is said to be at Hagerstown. REBEL RAID ON HAGERSTOWN—THE ENEMY IN FORCE AT WILLIAMSPORT. CaaMBBRSDURG, Sept. 11, 1862. Tho revets emvaee Hagerstown at adout nine o'clock this morving. Thoy proceeded at once to the. rai'read depot, and seized twelve hundred barrels of four, ‘They also commenced to tear up the track near the depot The party consisted of abput three hundred rebel} cavalry, bot a rmonch larger force was supposed to be close belind. Many Of the inhabfiants are reported as haviog wel- comed the invaders with the greatest delight—the females ‘by waving secesh flags and handkerchiefs from thej® windows, while the men sympathizers caused the arrest of afi Union mea. ‘Tho revels also took possession of suck stores as were pointed out to them as belonging to Union men, and placed guard over them. The rebels are said to be gathering in large supplies of goods , of which they siand greatly in need. Some of the rebe!s who have been captured say that they have almost been starved, and that if they did not get supplies at once from this side of the Potomac, their army would not remain together long, as they were tired of fighting without anything to eat. The United States Marsbel, the Sheriff and o:her of. ficial left Hagerstown when the rebels entered the piace, bringing away with them all the valuables in their dit- ferent offices. Hundreds of citizeus also left the place, avd the road for miles was lined with every description of vehicles, fied with mon principally, as they were more afraid of Deivg forced to take the oath of allogiapee to the Southern confederacy , or of being carried off to Richmond, than of losing their property. ‘This town is filed with romaweys, all of them very nich excited, and each one telling what ho saw and heard of tho movements Of the rebels. Citizens who arrived to-day from Williamsport say that avery large rebel army is at that point, and itis supposed that they intend erossing there. The people are leaving their hemes threvgbeut that entire section of country, and crowding up this way towards Harrisburg. But it is expected that the rebels will goon be driven out, as large bodies of troops are expected here soon from the northward, under the call of Governor Curtin, The Anderson C ayvairy are supplied with Rorses and ether equipments, and when they are prepared to take the Peld wo shall no doubt receiae a geod account of them, as they ar@ one of the finest regiments iu the ser- viee.

Pleasanton reported this afternoon that the cavalry wader his command crossed the Monocacy on Thursday, near the Potomac, They found no enemy in force, but saw a train of wagons, with @ largo guard, proceeding in the direction of Frederick. Thero is no doubt that the troops under Generals Stone. wall Jacksom and Longstreet, who w at Frederick, havo gone to Hagerstown.

Harnisaunc,Pa., Sept. 18, 1862. ‘The retreat of the entire rebel army across the Potomac river is not believed in official circles. The sending of troops is urged as necessary. THE REPORTED RETREAT OF JACKSON. Puasa, Sept. 13, 1862. The reported retreat of Jackson is got credited in well ynformed circles here, and the active preparations of the Governor indieate that he does not put much trust in it. It is more probable that the rebel army has selected Wil- liamsport asa base of operations, and ts establishing cen- nections with Virginia at that point. WHAT THE REBELS CLAIM THEY WILL DO. Harpissvne, Sept. 13, 1862. ‘Sherebels claim that they have an army of ninety thousand men in Maryland; also that thoy have an army ef twobundred and twenty-five thougand mea in Vir- ginia, with which they intend menacing Washington, while the army of Maryland sacks the borders and invades Pennsylvania. IMPORTANT OCAPTURB OF REBELS NEAR BALTIMORE. Barnaoss, Sept. 18, 1862. ‘The potice made an important capture last night at the house of Dr. T. L. Williamgon, seven miles from this city, on the Hookstown road. Having reocived information that some rebel officers from tho invading army were be- ing feted by their frieuds, the police proceeded thither and surrounded the house, and, while those within were bavingta jolly good time, bagged the whole party, ap fel- lows :-— Captain Harry Gitrocr, Company F, Stuart's cavalry, Grafton D. Carliste. Lieutenant Baino. ‘These men wore disguised in citizens’ dress. ‘The police aiso seized Dr. Williamzon, their entertainer, and the following gentiemen friends: J.P.

These robel officors belong to this city. It is thought they will, as they justly should, meet tho fate of spies. INTENSE EXCITEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA, Pm.aperraia, Sept. 18, 1862. The military excitement in this city is intense. A large number of armed citizens are leaving for Harris, burg. Organized bodies of mintia, numbering nearly 6,060, will leave to-morrow.

In my letter of yesterday I ondearored to give your readers some insight into the state of afairs in this rc- gion, At that time I had no idea that the rebels were in much force nearer than tho city of Frederick, Md. My mind has been disabused of any idea, if furmerly held, rogarding the disparity of the rebel force in Maryland, and the column of the revel army now probably within the Northern States proper. To-day I learned from a civilian juat from the neighbor. hood of Frederick that the rebels were in full force im the vicinity. They placed no bars to the free egreas or ipgrese of civilians, but kept a strict picket to guard against surprise from our forces. Our forces moved a few miles out from this place to-day, and commenced theascent of the first of the hills eommenc- ing the chain of mountains which are catied the Blue Ridge Mountains. A detachment of cavalry were in ad- vance, They advanced near to Hyattstown, where they were saluted by the rebels in position on the heights surrounding with musketry, and also with sbeil froma neighboring battery on one of the crests surrounding. In obedience to orders, they fell back in good order with- ont loss, ‘Thie morning, after eur troops occupied the positions assigned them, one of the divisions received a few com pliments from the enemy ia tho way of spherical case shot, an instrument, by the way, they became used to dodging on the peninsula. it ig useless to inform the reading public of the pro. Dable intentions of the rebels, now that they are known to be really in sueh strong force in Marylnud’as to de- mand the most vigilant efforts of our large force to ebevie their onward and most desperatemovement. fo say that they contemplate a raid merely on this or that place is mere nonsense, They stand on the mountain heights and passes near Frederick, and challenge our army to a com. bat, making their raids on private and civil properiy subordinate to the grand aim of getting our force into # disgraceful fight. It is algo idle to make & guess as to the number of the forces we bave to engage—perhays to morrow, perbaps in aweek heneo, Tnat their name is legion is provet by the fact that they keep a larger army of Union troops in check than lay before the oity of Richmond, As L write everything is quiet. Nothing outwardly be- tokens a coming storm of war; nor ig it indeed possible for our side to precipitate a contest. Not a doubt ought to be eutertained by the people but that General McClellan, who is presomt aud bas direction of all of our movements, will effectually deal a death blow to the enemy in Marytand, whethor he may choose thie oF other places as his battle tlelds, We are now on the scent and trail ef the cuciny, and will follow bim whithersoever his path may lead. If the enemy holds the position at present oesupied by bim,a uinary battle may be expected, as the ap proaghes are difficult, Uniess he is in force larger than the most sanguine Maryland secessionist would give him, our triumph ts assured, as we are stronger, numorieally, than most of the people suppose. Indeed, the march of such an army as we have gathered bereabouts in such a sbort space of time, and at euch short votice, seems almost a t a preatidigitateur 's work, OUR BALTIMORE $ CORRESPONDENCE.
