A telegram from Sunday Book, dated the night of the 7th, says the bridge over the Shenandoah was in flames. Hunter is moving from Western Virginia, Couch is organizing the Pennsylvania militia, and Wallace is defending Frederick. Great excitement in Harrisburg — the New invasion — Stampede from Maryland.
