two hours and a half, by guard before they would
allow him to pass and also detained till o'clock

Eightv-seven infantry RiHemen left Alexandria for
Charlestown, via Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Sixty
men with four guns went by special train on the
Manassas Road, via Strausburg, and thence will march
eighteen miles TO Winchester.
BALTNoRE, Friday, Nov. IS, 1859.
The Harpers Ferry excitement last night was caused
by the burning of wheat-stack about three miles from
Charlestown The military and populace were called
to arms, and the widest terror prevailed among the
people, the general supposton being that Col Davis
had some information Of approaching danger. The
panic among the people extended 10 the Colonel and
message was sent by him the Ferry, with dispatch
for Gov. Wise calling for two companies of cavalry,
this morning.
TIE fire was found to be the work Of an unknown
incendary. No person could be found in the country
on whom suspicion could rest. There are now
thousand men under arms, and no enemy to be found
to encounter. The troops from Alexandria arrived at
Cbarlestown this afternoon. Those by way of Win
chester are expected tomorrow morning.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have
sent Col. Shut with an armed posse, TO Harper's
Ferry TO guard the bridge and the property at that
point
There is much dissatisfaction both here and at
Charestown the preeiptate action of Col Davis in
sending dispatches for troops, instead of sending out
