[From the Philadelphia North American.] A gentleman just arrived from Hagersowd, furnished our reporter with an tern going to show the spirit and temper >f the invading rebels. When the rebel torde appeared in front of Hagerstown, me of its principal citizens unaertooK a ueasure to which he looked for the preervation of his property. He farmed ibout two hundred acres of land. His rams were full of grain, his pastures vere dotted with sheep and cattle, and orty well fed swine were gathered in the ear of his corn cribs. He was emphatically a man of plenty and of substance. When the rebels came he walked out to ;heir lines, with a damask linen napkin iffixed to his walking cane. The first rebel soldier he encountered he requested to show him to the commanding officer. He was passed under guard to the object }f his search. "General," said he, "I am ri warm sympathizer with the South. I heartily wish success to this invasion and your forces. My object in seeking yon out is to ask that you and as many of your tfaff us will accept the invitation will make my liouse your headquarters during your stay liere. My house is yonder upon that bill" (pointing to a fine old-fashioned mansion, with modern additions, with a long row of hayricks in the background.) "You sympathize with the South, did jrou say?" queried the General. " Very earnestly, sir, and always have done so." j L The rebel general beckoned to a sergeant who stood near him. "Bring a musket for this man," said he, " and take him into the ranks." The "sympathizer" opened wide his eyes> but stood mute with horror. "He couldn't see it" in that light He stammered out at last, "Oh, I didn't mean that, General. I don't want to fight. I want to entertain you and your staff wnile you remain nere, ana 10 snow yon that I am your friend." The rebel general contemtuously itfformed him that they interpreted sympathy only in its literal sense. He had claimed to sympathize with them, and they intended to avail themselves of his good will. A string of wagons was at once trotted out, driven to the sympathizer's property, and in the same afternoon he was stripped of everything. The rebels carried off all his cattle, sheep, hogs and smaller live stock, removed all his hay and wheat crop, leaving his barns utterly emty. The cavalry horses were turned into his growing oats, and his corn was cut for fodder for the stock while on the march. The sympathizer was detained until all was done, and was then released with thanks for the sympathy^ he had manifested. Many like him in Maryland are now reaping the fruits of their sympathy. When men will take the suckpra nnfc of their nnmus to nrevent TTnion soldiers from drinking the water, their sympathy with the Sonth deserves some such recognition as that given to the friend of the rebel cause above referred to, who came to grief at Hagerstown. Afraid of the Flank movement. A correspondent to the Philadelphia Press, writing from Chambersburg, Pa., respecting the negro stampede from that neighborhood, through fear of the approach of the rebels, says: " I met an old man yesterday, the fortunate possessor of an old rickety wagon md horse, his available property consisting of a bundle and two tin pans, mafcmg ?xtraordinary exertions to outstrip his brethren on the road. Standing up, he tras administhring the most severe l^lows Dn his poor beast with an old rope. Altogether he would have made a fit character for the pen of a Dickens. On my remonstrating with him for his cruelty md uncalled for fright, telling him that die rebels were yet thirty miles in his rear, he replied, 4 Yes, sail! yes, sah! but ['se afraid of de flunk movement!' He is, loubtless. ere this, at Harris burg, safi !rom 'de flank movement' " Disregarding the Constitution to save ;he Republic is like a man's disobeying be Bible to save his soul.?[Louisville fourual.

It appears that the rebel officer sent to lestroy the railroad between Washington ,nd Baltimore but half did his work, and hen went off to a dance with some of the air damsels of *4My Maryland.'!
