ArrAms AT HARPER. Frsn,-Ths Bs,ce,,.

AFFAIRS AT HARPER's FERRY-The Harpefs
Ferry correspondent Of the Alexandria Gazette
writes May 18th:
The day passed off yesterday wiihou, any in
cidents Of importance. The cutting of the tele-
graph wires night before last is thus explained.
The departure Of 1900 men from the elav to
some point unknown, induced some Marylapders
to suppose that their destination was Harpers q
Ferry. So a small body Of them went 10 the
Monocacy Bridge, and attempted to destroy It, In
this they failed-the bridge being iron and fire
proof and their force being too small to tear Il
down. They went, however, to the telegraph
office, drove the operator away, and broke down
the wires.
Yesterday, the wires were again repaired, but
last night were again cut, and now there is no
Geographic communication east OF the Point Of
Rocks.
At the latter place, force numbering from 400
to loo men, are stationed. Bradley johnson,
with force Of 2O Marvlanders, Ia there. -Four
DAYS ago, he had but 20 men; but within that
period, the 20 have increased to its present num-
increased to thousand.
Last night, 800 more men reached here from the
southwestern portion Of the State. Among them
was company from Rockbridge, commanded
by Rev. Mr.. PendletoD, Of Lexington. He is a
graduate of West Point and has left the peaceful
sphere Of the pulpit, to place his talents and his
energies at the disposition Of his country. He 10
said to be fine officer.
The Kentuckian who was shot the other day by
one Of his comrades died yesterday evening
Last night, man calling himself Charles B
hahes, CIVIL engineer OF New Ork was arrested
Maps Of Harper's Ferry and its neighborhood
were found upon his person II is difficult to say
whether his object here was simply to sketch for
newspapers, or to furnish valuable Information 10
the enemy.
Two more cannon arrived las, night II is said
that South Carolina and Mississippi regiment
will be here to-day or tomorrow.
The laboring force of negroes upon the Mary
land heights, is daily increasing. When the
fortifcaion of these heights shall have been COM

troops cannot take this place now. Col Jackson
