Extract of a letter from Baltimore, to a person in this city, dated September 25.
I returned last evening from a ten days excursion, with the troops of horse of this place, by a requisition of the executive of this state, to the south & north mountains, to quiet the Insurgents in those quarters, which we have effected without opposition, by bringing 100 & odd of the principal actors to Hagers-Town, some of whom, were admitted to Bail, others remained in confinement when we marched from that place on Monday last.
On our march out, we were joined by two troops, one from George-Town, and the other from Frederick, which increased our number, to 200 odd effective horse, and on the day of our return, were joined by another troop from Annapolis. A considerable body of Infantry from this place, and other parts of the state, marched to Frederick-Town, but as no opposition took place, they were not ordered further, and are now returning. We were altogether volunteers who marched on a few hours notice. So much for military matters.
