The RAID ON HAAPKK's FERRY, &c.-We have
positive Information Of the truth of the statement
IN an anonymous communication published not
long since In the National InteIigeneer that the
virginia raid on Harper's Ferry was arranged
and carried out by the dsunion conspirators
wholly without orders or the sanction Of the State
authorities. And, further. that the sinking Of
vessels in the channel Of Elizabeth river TO facili
.ate the seizure OF the property Of the United
states at and about Norfolk was directed bv
Henry A " ise, who induced pilot named Par
ker 10 undertake the work, against the wish and
under the protest OF the Governor Of the State
These facts show that Virginas present atti-
tude towards the United States is simply the
resuit OF so far successful conspiracy, directed
as clearly against their State government a.
against the United States. In few brief weeks
,ne masses In Virsini1 will realize that they were
involved in disastrous absolutely ruinons rsvo.

THE NEWS HERE.

ALEXANDRIA. .-Misfortunes, they say, never
come sinsly. Our neighbors OF Alexandria are
Just now realizing the truthful force Of this vens
fable adage, most essentially. A day or two since
we mentioned some Of the disabilities that seces-
Son has already brought on them. Subsequently
we learn that the Alexa ndria banking house Of
Burke Herbert (as well rs that Of Corse & Bro }
have suspended, and that the State revenue from
the county, has fallen off one half from the de-
clension Of Alexandria merchants to renew their
licenses; and siill further, that nearly all the
cessionists there who could manage to get their
families away, have already abandoned their
homes for the time being. Thus, with the cur
rent blockade Of the mouth of the Potomac, rel-
dered necessary by the attitude Of Virginia tc-
wards the United States, these occurrences the
turel result OF secession, have already destroyed
AIxandria's business almost as COMPLETELY as If
the town had been burned to tie ground for the
time being. Three-fourtbs Of Its citizens are
staunch Unionis!s at heart. By this time they
must all realize that Virginia's secession was
brought about by fraud and unauthorized and H.
legal violence. BY an usurpation fragrant and
Palpable as ever marked the history Of the pro-
gressve destruction Of the liberties Of any people
under the sun.

A royal proclamation, a considerable ps
ROD ago. warned Britiah merchant captains
to carry neither arms nor troops for ei thor

abstained from anything more than regret for
the existence OF the contest. Northern and
southern chips have, far as we are con

shtpping OF warlike stores in British ports.
But, in POINT Of fact, there has existed the
grossest inequality between the advantages
The North have been supreme at sea, and
they have also maintained more or less ef.
fectual blockade Of southern ports. Thus
the one party have enjoyed a practical i'm

excluded from our markets. A Southern ship
has first to run the blockade at Charleston or
New Orleans; it has then to make Liverpool
Ia spite OF Northern cruisers; afterwards 1t
has the same peril to encounter on the return
voyage; and, finally, 1t has to run the
blockade again and to enter It's own port in
safety. -

Last week one of the most daring nnd dia-

disgraced The records of any coun try, was
made on the gperson of Mr. s. H Johnson i,
about two miles east OF this place, as is be-
Hsyed, by Il man named Eli Ensor. Mr..
johnson was driving to town in a buggy, and
in passing a thicket was shot by a concealed
person. One ball passed entirely through
his neck, and lodged in his cravat, another
struck him in the hip. and still another In
the leg. He was taken to his home. and
everything that the kindness and affection OF
friends and relatives could prompt was done
to tlieviate his suferings and ward Off the
fell stroke Of the grim. visaeed monster
Death, but without avail. His friends had
list,ered them selves with the hope Of his re-
