Gov. Wise left Harper's Ferry this
morning for Richmond, after receiving a
dispatch from Gov. Packer, of Pa, ten
dering him the services of ten thousand
men, and Offering to station a guard along
the dividing line of Pa. and Md. Gov.
Wise returned thanks for the offer, with
the assurance that Virginia was able to
protect her honor.
After the departure of Gov. Wise, Col.
Elliott addressed the military, telling
them it was possible they might have 10
undergo arduous and perilous duties,
and he felt satisfied that if the venerated
Commonwealth should be invaded, they
would effectually wipe out the stain.
Last night, at 9 o'clock, an alarm was
given by one of the sentinels firing his
rifle. The military orders were imme-
diately sounded from one end of the
town to the other, and the panic among
women and children and some of the
men, whose nervous systems have become
much disordered by the late events, was
very great. Shutters were closed and
lights extinguished in quick time. The
excitement continued until ten o'clock,
when it was ascertained that the sentinel
had mistaken a COW for a man !; hat she
would not halt when he commanded, and
SO he fired. Another alarm at three
O'Clock this morning was o~ccasioned by
the report of three guns. A sentinel
came rushing in, and reported having
killed three men, who, instead of halt
ing, fired at him.
Three scouts were sent out, but no
man could be found, and the town was
in an uproar for the balance of the night.
The fact is that the soldiers regard their
present occupation as a %frolic, and it is
believed that some of them, under the
influence of whisky, were playing pranks
on their comrades. All has been quiet
to-day.
