--A Maryland Regiment Deserting Lincoln.--We find the following important paragraph in the Lynchburg Virginian, of the 12th inst.:

We have received intelligence through an officer attached to Gen. Clark's staff, who arrived here last night by the Orange and Alexandria train from Centreville that an entire Maryland regiment had deserted Lincoln's army; bringing with them their arms and equipments. Our informant says he saw them at Centreville before he left there yesterday.

Since writing the above, we have received information from a reliable source corroborating the above. The particulars of the desertion were these; The regiment were sent out on picket from Alexandria, and when they reached the front of our lines they hoisted the Confederate flag and marched into Centreville. They were accompanied by their Colonel and the officers' of the regiment.
