Letter from IIarper's Ferry

We received the following letter from
young man, brought up aud until lately
resilient Of Grant County, now serving in
secession army at Harpers Ferry, having
been coaxed or compelled to enlist during
the spring somewhere down the Mississip-
pi, as many others have been. We print

as he can, and that he is well:

WISCONSIN Credited Banlka.

We again print the list Of Wisconsin
Banks, credited generally through the
State by business men and taken at the
face Of tie bills. It is the list which the
Convention Of Bankers, at their meeting
at Milwaukee on the goth Of April, agreed
to receive and pay out till the lst Of Deem
Der next.
We also annex opposite each bank the
State Comptroller's true value Of bills as
based on the state stocks at their late sell
ling price in Wall Street. BY these fg-
ures may be seen which banks are safest
and most liable to stand. 1t may howey-
er be observed that the banks not in the cred
tied list show nearly as well in the value Of
their stocks as the credited ones, which fact
shows the palpable humbaggery of the res
olution of the Bankers Convention. We
are in earnest and speak adyisedly when we
recommend all to refuse paper money fol
produce or other labor products. Catas-
trophies may happen any day; we await
every mail the news that all Wisconsin and
Illinois banks are worthless.

The following I, a spce0l to The 81. L0u'f De1'o-
cTat
Gen. Hunter has not yet put into effect any decid.
ed measures for tho conduct of the campaign, but ]
am informed be will adopt plans entirely different
from those Of Gen. Fremont.
Col. Merrill was rent ont on n reconnaissance
Yesterday, with 100 cavalry and section Of aril-
lcry, and explored the country around Wilson's
Creek but discovered no enemy, their advance hey-
ing left for the South Sunday. The main body Of
the rebels is supposed TO be still in the vicinity Of
Cassyie. Gen. Hunter Las little faith at present IN
tler having design Of attacking us.
He will however in few days have such trust
worthy information Of their numbers and position,
&c as 10 decide his future course. Tie tro1is are
now as apparently enthusiastic as ever, and TIE
more tbey learn Of their new commander the better
are they satsRed with him. This feeling IL aho
strengthened by the high opinion entertained Of Cen
Hunter by all the old regular army officers.
The repor,e that olcors, many companies and reg
meuts threw down their arms upon the announce
ment Of the removal Of Gen. Fremont cannot DC
traced to any Trustworthy source.
Gen. Hunters portion on the "contraband ques-
lion is understood TO be as follows;
All neqroes coming into camp viii be retained, and
such Of them as are proved the property OF bn0h
men will be appraised and receiped for to be pAid
for when and how Congress may sec III.
| Ceu. Asboth has concluded to remain in command
Of his division.
! Col Albert, acting Brigader-G General, will also
remnn and several other foreign officers who at first
decided TO leave will remain.
Marcus j. Parrott of Kansas has been appointed
on Gen. Hunters flail.
The caunonading at Sarcoxie come days since, is
said TO have been salute in honor Of some act pas.
sed by the Rebel Legislature assembled at that
place. ,oc,
According TO information received by Gen.
Uuntcr. il is now said that Gen. Price has no hten-
lion of attacking uF, and if persued still further by
us he will scatter bis army or retreat to Fort Smith
nd await developments on the Potomac aud in
Kentucky.
Il il very doubtful whether any further advance Of
orr main army will be made, but further intelligence
Of the number and position Of tho rebels may change
this policy.
Gen. Siegel has been appointed Commandant Of
this post 80.
Gen Hunter spent part of yesterday in vistng the
various camps, and examining into the general con-
dition of the army, and to-day he has gone on re-
connojssanoe south, with bis body guard, 400 in
fantry, battery and several companies Of cavalry
Brig. Slurgis has been appointed Chief Of the
staff and of Cavalry on Hunters staff.

evening. and was met at the depot by an immense

There is every appearance of the army remaining
in this vicinity for some time, unless an emergency
requires iis presence other point. Frederick
and Rockville have been spoken of as accessible
points for supplies.
The election yesterday in this part of the State was
quietly and temperately conducted. The returns
have not yet been fully received, owing to the bad
condition of the roads.
