y affected yesterday morning by the news from Maryland, furnished by a Washington paper of the 10th inst. For the time, Grant and Petersburg were forgotten, and nothing was thought of or talked of but Baltimore, Monocracy Bridge, Lew Wallace, and the invasion of the North. The situation in Georgia and the safety of Atlanta ceased to be a topic of conversation, and everybody was discussing the probable effect of the present skillful and well executed movement upon the issue of the campaign of 1864. It seems that a Confederate force has advanced quietly and almost without opposition many miles into the enemy's territory, destroying railroads and bridges, and levying, contributions upon the people at will, and the latest news we have through the Northern papers is that a body of troops drawn up to dispute the advance was defeated and driven back in confusion. When Northern journals admit this much, we may be sure that the victory was decisive and complete, and attended with important r

Gunpowder river is about half way between Baltimore and Havre de Grace, Maryland; is a wide stream near its mouth, where it is crossed by the trestle work of the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad. Rumors. It was currently reported yesterday morning that after the defeat of Wallace at Monocracy bridge, our forces in Maryland encountered General Couch, who had been sent out from Baltimore with reinforcements, defeated him, and took him prisoner. This rumor was invented by some imaginative person, who probably desired to keep up the excitement. Late in the evening it was reported that a letter had been received from a Confederate officer in Maryland, announcing that our forces were within sight of the outer fortifications of Baltimore, and still "marching on." The latest report was brought by an officer from Petersburg. He stated th

e within sight of the outer fortifications of Baltimore, and still "marching on." The latest report was brought by an officer from Petersburg. He stated that a New York Herald, of the 11th, had been received in that city, which furnished information that the "rebels" had met and defeated a Federal force at the Relay House, and were advancing upon Baltimore in two columns. The capture of Martinsburg. We have received some additional particulars of the capture of Martinsburg, on the 31 inst. Our forces entered the place in the evening; the enemy, some 7,000 strong, all 100 day men, with the exception of 700 regular cavalry, retreated hurriedly on the Harper's Ferry road. Immense quantities of supplies fell into our hands, with $1,000,000 worth of medical and a large amount of commissary stores, including 100,000 bushels of corn and oats. Merchants and sutlers had collected there immense stores, preparatory to forwarding them to Richmond for sale, as they deemed the capture of

Mosby's raid on Duffield's Depot.-- The dashing Mosby made a very successful raid on Duffield's Depot, a station on the Balrrender of the place, and the citizens came out to inquire upon what conditions the enemy would be allowed to surrender.

These "active arrangements" doubtless have reference to an apprehended uprising of the people of Baltimore, and may include the planting of cannon in the streets and other measures to enforce "loyalty" in the Monumental City. At all events, it is apparent that the authorities there were terribly frightened, and busily concerting measures for the safety of the place. The Brig Gen. Tyler who was captured at Monocracy is probably the same individual who figured at Manassas in July, 1861, and has since that time been holding some position in Baltimore. Col. Seward is said to be a son of the Yankee Secretary of State, though we are only positive that he has some relationship to the wily premier. A letter from Winchester, dated July 7th, says that a body of Confederate troops is between Harrisburg and Baltimore, that Harry Gilmore with his command is at Gunpowder river, be
