HARFsR's FERKY.-A detachment of sixty-eight
dismounted dregcons passed through Baltimore
yesterday afternoon, from Carlisle (Pa.) barracks
TO HarPer's Ferry where they are to act guard
for the Governments Armory and other property
there. They were ordered thither on the requi.
sition Of Superintendent Barbour. Mr.. Boteler
the Representative Of the district in Congress il
understood TO. have strongly urged upon the War
Department that 1t would not be polite to send
them there at this time; but the demand Of the
superintendent was clearly one that could not
under existing circumstances, be rejectrd by the
Department, without subjecting it to invidiou.
criticism, and the risk Of encourteripg seriou.

EXCITEMENT AT HARFER's FERRY.-On the
night before last there was gathering of armed
people, principally from Charlestown and Mar.
tinsburg, at HarPer's Ferry, whose errand was
evidently to prevent U. s. troops from taking
possession Of the Governments property there;
II being rumored In that vicinity that the train
of that evening would bring up troops to thai
end The citizens of HsrPer's Ferry, however
gave them to understand that they would protect
the Governments rights in their midst TO the last
extremity, until Virginia in her sovereign capac.
ity might leave the Union. So the parties from
Charlestown and MartiHsburg wisely concluding
that they had got into the wrong box, left fol-
their homes. AS stated elsewhere In the Sta,
to-day, the expected troops arrived there last
night, and are now doubtless in the quiet occu.
