The alarm, which yesterday summoned our citizens to arms, was in a short time discovered to have been groundless. From what source it originated, in not material; nor was it unfortunate that it was given.

The enemy has given suli‘icient prool of his disposi‘ tion to reek his vengeance on us whenever an opportunity ofsnecess shall present itself. The best way to ensure our sa ety, is never to permit such an opportunity to occur, but to be al- ways on the alert and prepared to repel him with vigor. The hour of danger alone can test our energy and firmness; and in his view of the subject, the alarms which have at times been given are useful, be 'ause they show us on what numbers we can really calculate for ellicient service. Mr. Lloyd, a gentleman from Frederick, last evening informed us that five companies of infantry from lVashington and Frederick, and cap- tain Stilc's excellent corps ofartillery, of the lat« fer, marched from Fredericldmvn yesterday morning, on their way to aid in the defence of this city. They were all armed and equipped in every respect, and amounted in number to upwards of .600. They will probably reach here this evening, or in the morning at. lln'thest.
