remises of Mr. John Hagan, a few miles from this city, together with two guns and a revolver which were found there. Major-Gen. Patterson's command, &c. Frederick, June 18. --The force at Hagerstown and Williamsport, under General Cadwallader, comprise the Pennsylvania 1st, 2d, 3d, 7th, 11th, 13th, and 24th Regiments, together with the 1st Rhode Island Regiment, two regiments of United States Regulars and 700 United States Cavalry. Included in this formidable body are Capt. Doubleday's corps and McMullin's company of Philadelphia Rovers. The portion of the force which forded the river at Williamsport, were under command of General Thorney, and comprised the two regiments of Regulars and about 600 of the Rhode Islanders. The men waded through the stream generally up to their hips in water, and occasionally up to their arms. Their passage on the occasion is said to have been a very imposing and spirited spectacle. The men dashed into the stream singing "Di

Major Anderson at New York — statement ofCaptain Doubleday. The steamer Baltic, with Major Anderson and his command on board, reached the Battery at New York on Thursday, at 1 o'clock. The following account of the arrival is given by telegraph, together with a highly-colored statement of the valiant Doubleday, one of Anderson's officers: She had as she came up the flags of Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie flying. Maj. Anderson, on landing on the Battery, was received by an immense crod, and his carriage was surrounded by the people, who expressed in cheers and other demonstrations their admiration of his conduct. He was followed by an immense throng through Broadway to the Brevoort House, where he joined his wife. Capt. Doubleday says that the demand to surrender Fort Sumter was made on the 11th, but was refused not only by Major Anderson, but by the unanimous voice of the command. On Friday morning, at 3 o'clock, the rebels sent word that the fire would be open

ave taken up quarters in a toll-house on the turnpike, about a mile back from the river. A half-dozen balls from the twenty-four pounders and two shells have just been fired across the river to rout them from the house. The two first balls were directed towards the building and the others towards the woods, in which the Confederate troops have been seen dodging among the trees all day long. At the first fire the pickets were seen pouring from the house and digging for the woods. Capt. Doubleday and about forty of his Fort Sumter boys are here to work the guns. Gen. Cadwallader has a force here of about 9,000 men. It is reported by a deserter, though the report is doubted, that the Confederate forces now at Falling Waters amount to 2,600 infantry, 600 cavalry and six six-pounder cannon, while 8,000 or 10,000 are still stationed at Martinsburg; also, that Johnston is determined to march on and attack Williamsport. Later from the upper Potomac. Williamsport, June 25.

s. under Col. Abercrombie. Gen. Negley's and Gen. Wynkoops brigades actually struck their tents at 3 o'clock this morning and marched to the ford. The whole column, embracing eighteen full regiments and several detached corps, such as Major Doubleday's two companies, the 2d cavalry and the 1st city troops and Perkins' artillery, with the exception of the 4th Connecticut, lying in camp at Hagerstown. are now encamped here, and are under marching orders, and at 3 o'clock to-morrow morning Col. Jackson, with his force, lies back some distance, at Hekes' Run, three miles this side of Martinsburg, with about 3,000 men. The enemy were observed busily engaged in erecting breastworks immediately back of the heights, opposite Major Doubleday's battery, late this afternoon. It is thought they design putting guns in position to obstruct the march of the Federal troops. Some fifty shots were exchanged this morning between the advance guards and the hostile forces at.

prings, on the route to Winchester, three miles below here. This is only a double picket guard. Gen. Johnston has moved forward the heaviest part of his column to Bunker Hill, a small village ten miles distant. His column has been seriously weakened by sending 4,000 men forward to assist in opposing McClellan's advance. It is therefore reduced to about 12,000 men, and is numerically less than the Federal force by 4,000 men. Burnside's Rhode Island battery will be here to-morrow. Major Doubleday's heavy battery is now here. The Wisconsin regiment and 11th Pennsylvania regiment have gone back to Williamsport to guard the battery up this far, and also the provision train. Yesterday Company B, of the 10th regiment, came across a secession petrol of cavalry and fired upon them, killing one and wounding two. Yesterday about fifty cavalry passed through this place in full retreat just before the head of the column of Federal troops reached here. They were in a very great

From Martinsburg. Baltimore, July 8. --A letter was received here to-day, dated at Martinsburg, July 6th, in which it is stated that Capt. Doubleday and the Rhode Island battery had arrived--Gen. Patterson's entire army is encamped there. No forward movement had taken place. The same latter says that Gen. Johnston had been reinforced by 7,000 men from Manassas, and had taken a position for a fight.

els do it, I'll blow your brains out." The queries of the sentinels succeeded, "vanish tide matter?" "bill dey never come to relieve us?" At last a messenger came flying, shouting the Secessionists have the roads" Conceive then of our feelings. We could do nothing but roll on the floor shouting, easy, "Jeff Davis," "Johnston," "Jackson," the 21 Regiment are coming; then we talked of preparations to be made for Southern troops, that we believed approaching. All night the same confusion. Doubleday's battery (on which every foreigner "shwearsde victory") acted the double-flying artillery. Amid all not a drum was heard, notwithstanding the profusion of said instruments. Daylight came and still they fled; by ten o'clock on Sunday nothing of them remained save a pair of Uncle Sam's pants, precipitated from a Yankee wagon. Yet not one of our soldiers; what more than a report frightened the Yankees we have been unable to learn. Streets were swept, congratulations passed from neighbor

of William Howard Russell, L. L. D., whom he saw scampering from the battle field as fast as his horse would carry him. He said he could account for the name of the place--"'Bull's Run, ' John Bull's! Russell showed good horsemanship." Captain Doubleday was, it seems, in charge of General Scott's favorite pocket pistol, his famous Parrot gun. The gun is taken!--Where (asks the Wilmington Journal) is the invincible Doubleday?

Ye glorious Capita-ing Doubuelday, Who writes all night and fights all day. In one of the Massachusetts regiments there are or were 336 shoemakers, of whom 87 belonged to one company. This company at the Manassas fight was awfully troubled in its soles, and waxed too feeble towards the end to bristle up when the masked batteries balled it off. The officers of Lincoln's army deny the "soft impeachment" of panic. They say they did not yield to panic, but to the "irrepressible

of eight steamers, containing four regiments and some detached companies, which were landed at Bird's Point. Black Republican authorities say there is now a force of 8,000 Federals there. News from General Banks' "Army of the Shenandoah" is unimportant. One of the most important items is that a Federal and a "rebel" picket met midway in the river, exchanged a Baltimore Sun for a Richmond Enquirer, and, after taking "a friendly drink" together, exchanged canteens. The "glorious" Doubleday, now with General Banks, tried the range and accuracy of his rifled siege-guns the other day, and found the "range almost interminable and their accuracy astonishing." Detachments of Yankees are daily detailed to work on the railroad and bridge at Harper's Ferry. According to their own accounts, it will shortly be passable; but their accounts, are seldom, if ever, worthy of belief. The New York World (abolition) represents that recruiting goes on slowly in that city and State.

lf of the disaffected will return to their duty. All the commissioned officers remained, and only two of the orderly sergeants were among the recusants. Major Doubleday, who has for some weeks been confined at Washington from the effects of an accident to his leg, resumed his battery in Gen. Banks' column on Tuesday. During Major Doubleday's absence the battery has been in charge of First Lieut. Hall, who participated so conspicuously in the Fort Sumter conflict. He will probably succeed Major Doubleday in permanent command of the battery.

Mr. Russell, the war correspondent of the London Times, took the cars at Ellicott's Mills on Tuesday morning for Sandy Hook, and proceeded thither for the purpose of visiting the whole line of the Potomic defences. There was some curiousity in camp to catch a glimpse of his "form and features," but his presence was not regarded as that of an extraordinary personage. Remarks not delicately complimentary were uttered by some of the sol
