A DISPATCH FROII THE PRESIDENT
The President was, Ipt unmindful of the or
deal these people were passing through, and he
thoughtfully sent a tnessage to be of good
cheer, as the Government were making prepar
ations to give the rebels a cordial reception.
THE ROBBERIES OF THE RAIDERS
The robberies have extended alf along their
line of march. They have taken everything
that could be made serviceable, and have nut
spared their allies. All-have suffered alike, ex
cept those having representatives in the rebel
army. Their destructivii propensities have been
exercised in tile destruction of that which they
could not put to profitable use. The roads lead
ingto the city have been lined with wagon
trains saved from 'the hands of the despoiler.
The many merchants' teams here have been keptr
busily engaged in transporting Government
property of various kinds.
THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON
Although there is naturally much solicitude
everywhere felt for the safety of Washington
"a view of the intelligence which has from time
t time been received to-day, and which has
edited our community, there are no indications
whatever-of a panic among our citizens. The .
military measures which have been taken tend
to give assurance of security from a rebel inva
sion of the capital.
RESPONSE OF TROOPS
- .
The late call for troops; by the Governor is
meeting with much success, and squads and
companies are now arriving by every train.
New York has eight regiments nearly ready to
forward, and. Pennsylvania has most of the Old
Reserves and thousands of new recruits organ
izing and being forwarded to the scene of se
tion. - ,

To the People of Pennsylvania : I refer to
my recent _Proclamation calling, !fur troops on
the requisition of the President. You are not
responding freely. The etiemie4 of our Govern
ment are active in deterring you, and efforts
have been ntade,to dissuade you from the belief
that any considerable , force is in your vicinity,
and many of our most lo'al and patriotic citi
zens have been thus deceived. . .
Similar efforts were too successfully made
last year, at the moment when Lee',i army was
actually on your border.
Dispatches have been' this morning received
establishing .the fact that Gee. Wallace, with
10,c00 men was yesterday compelled to fall
buck from Frederick; be is believed to belie
retreat towards B tltimure.
the communicutien 'between this 'Point and
BAltimore was cut this morning by the-rebels,
below Cockeysville. The authorities of the
United State's at Washington :ire so impressed
with the' necessity of 'immediate "effort;-that
they hard, this morning, by telegraph, authori
zed men to be iiimitored in :by companies,
which they had• yesterday peremparily re-:
rused.
It is my duty to State to you the fact that your
country reqUires your immediate service, and
the safety of your own soil and of our good
neighbors in Maryland, may depend on your
