HARpRR's FERRY,

Dispatches indicate moro vigorous meas
urcs on the part of the Federal troops, who
are approaching IIarper's Ferry by way OF
Chambersburg and Hagerstown. A large
number of troops are already ut the former
place, and more are on their way. From all
accounts tho advancing Government troops
constitute heavy force. The first division
of the troops marched from Chambcrsburg
on Friday morning, in tho direction Of Ia-
gcrstown, Md. This division is under the
command of Col. George II Thomas, of the
I'd cavalry, n Philadelphia mounted troop,
three companies Of U. 5. artillery, and three
regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers. The
remaining troops at Chambersburg are to be
sent forward Immediately, the whole force
being under the command of Maj. Gen. Pat
terson. On Sunday night, the Rhode Island
marine battery and horses, with the horses
of the Rhode Island regiment, were placed
upon the cars ut Washington, and the regi-
mcnt had orders to break camp at midnight
and embark upon the cars. Other regiments
were said to be under orders, and their dcsti.
nation was supposed to be Frederick, Md
A reconnaissance by aid of balloon was to
he made in connection with the expedition.
There can DO no doubt that Frederick city
will soon DO occupied by Federal troops !;
barracks are provided for three or four thou
sand.
We have diverse stories as to the condition
of the rebels ut fIarper's Ferry. A dispatch
from Frederick states that troops are con.
stantly arriving there, that provisions are
abundant and the men cheerful, and that
1900 troops are at the Ferry. On tho 9TH
or hand we have dispatches to the effect that
the rebels are in poor condition, and that
assertions are frequent. But there was no
truth in the report Of Sunday, that they had
evacuated the premises.
The rebels ut Harpcr's Ferry are destroy
ing bridges and throwing other obstacles in
the way Of an advancing column. 1t is
evident that the plan Of the rebels is to de-
stroy all the ferries and guard all tho fords
against any passage along tho whole line Of
the Potomac River. The river is very full
and cannot be crossed at present.
The conclusion of most of the Washing
ton writers on the subject is, that no direct
attack on IIarper's Ferry is contemplated,
but the troops from Pennsylvania and Ohio
arc to surround that point by movements in
the rear, by way Of Williamsport.

How Great Mon Differ.

Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, n gentleman OF per-
haps equal distinction with the editor Of the
Democrat, does not see things with the eyes OF
the latter gentleman. The editor of the Demo-
crat, who has not, as yet, run for the Vice
Presidency, holds the Republican party respon-
sible for the civil war, and falsely accuses the
Republican members in Congress Of refusing
to settle up the difficulties between the North
and South. Edward Everett, who did run for
the Vice Presidency, AMI got quite rcspccta-
BILE vote. even in Virginia, says in recent let
ter to gentleman there:
"After the Cotton States had seeded, and,
although that circumstance greatly increased
the difficulty Of compromise, measures were
nevertheless adopted or proposed in Congress,
which must have removed all sincere alarm on
the part of the South, that their constitutional
rights were threatened. The accredited leaders
of the Republican party, including the Pref
dent-elect, uniformly pledged themselves to
that effect. The two Houses, by constitution.
nj majority, pledged themselves in like manner
against any future amendment Il the Constitu-
ton violating the rights of the South. A men,
Der from Massachusetts, (Mr. Adams) possess.
ing the entire confidence Of the incoming Ad-
ministration. proposed to admit New-Mexico
as State, and three new Territories were or
gained without any anti-Slayery restriction.
While this was done In Congress, the States re-
pealed or modified the laws throwing obstacles
In the way of recovering fugitive slayes-laws
which have never been of any practical injury
to the Cotton States. These conciiatory DEM
onstrations had no effect In staying the pro-
gress Of secession, because the leaders OF that
revolution were determined not to be satisfied
and to maintain their policy, which in the light
of the Constitution, Is simply rebellion and
treason, they have appealed to the sword"
Edward Everett does not claim to be Re-
publican, nor does the editor Of the Democrat.
In this they agrce-in oil other matters they
differ. The editor Of the Democrat justifies Sc
cession, and says that II is in accordance with
"the principles of the American system Of Gov
eminent. Mr.. Everett, in the light Of the Con-
stitution, says 1t is "simply rebellion and trea-
son." How great men sometimes disagree!

windows, inquired:

Mr.. Douglas replied:
$50 that we can have fresh air."
At Mr.. Douglas request Mr.. Rhodes
changed tho dying mans position again in
the bed for the last time. Ho now lay rath-
er down in the middle Of the bed upon his
left side, his head slightly bent forward and
of the pillow. Ills wife sat beside him, hold
ing his right hand in both Of hers. and lean
ing tenderly over him sobbing. Mr.. Rhodes
remarked to Mrs. Douglas:
III am afraid he does not lilo comfortable"
In reply to which Mr.. Douglas said:

These were his last ineligible words
From S O'Clock he was SPECIFICS. but evil
IDENTIFY retained bis consciousness. When, q
fow moments before his death, his wife leaned
lovingly over him and sobbinsly asked:
Husband. do you know met will you

lie raised his eyes and smiled, and though
too weak to speak, the movements Of tho
muscle Of his mouth evinced that he was
making an almost dying struggle to comply
with her request.
His death was calm and peaceful; few
faint breaths after . o. clock, u slight rttlins
OF his throat, short, quick, conyulsive shud-
der, and Stephen A. Douglas had passed from
timo into eternity.
