The Affair at Harper,s FerrY.

y
BALTIMoRg, Oct. ls.-A gentleman who
spent the whole of yesterday at Harper's
Ferry, saws the accounts published OF the
fight there on Wednesday, are In tile main
correct. The cannon captured is a fine
new seige gun, we'll mounted and in good
order, with the exception of a fracture of
one axle during the tight. 1t was sthtion-
ed yesterday near the abutment of the
bridge. When it was about being retaken
By the rebels, teu-penny nail was driven
into the rent, which has already been
drawn out.
The Rhode Island battery did not par
ticipate in the fight, as at first stated
They were stationed on Maryland Heights,
and found it impossible to discriminate in
the distance between friends and foes.
The fight from eight in the morning till
two o'clock was regular skirmish, with
varying results. The rebels, when botly
pressed, retreated into the woods, and at
other times they drove the Federal troops
back into Bolivar, the main fight being
beyond that town, on the road to Charles
town. AtstWo o'clock Col. Geary arrived
with three pieces of cannon, which soon
silenced the enemy's guns, putting their
entire force to flight. 49,.
The chaplain who was taken prisoner
says that before he was capt 90 ,yiete
killed and wonnded, and bad bee earriedi
from the field. There was nothing posi-
lively known as to Col. Ashby having
been killed, and il was not generally cred
ited
The Federal troops renamed on the
field all of Wednesday night and yester-
day morning. Having brought across the
river the remainder of the 10000 bushels
rf t-b from INC rahaIfu- mill
tary depot, which they were about to
transport to Leesburg, an order was given
for the whole force to retire to the Mary
lend side.
Great distress prevailed among the few
remaining residents of Bolivar, information
having reached them that it WAS the in
tention ofthe enemy to destroy Bolivar and
Harpers Ferry on Thursday night by fire,
and they were all packing up preparatory
to flight into Maryland. No information
has been received from there this morning,
as to whether the threat was carried out.
The river is still too high to ford, and
he troops were conveyed across in scOws.
The prisoners captured admit that their
force was 1000, whilst the entire Federal
force was only AGO.
The change that has taken place in Hhr-
per's Ferry and the thriving village ofBol-
ivar, is represented as most sad and shock
| ing. Ruin was everywhere visible, and the
inhabitants were bowed down with sor-
row and desoIntion.
Col. McKaig, State Senator from Allie
gheny county, who was arrested some time
since and carried 20 Ohio, and allowed the
liberty of the State on parole, arrived here
yesterday in violation of his pledge, and
was arrested last night at his hotel, by or
der of Gen. Dix.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lS.-Gen. Mcclellan,
accompanied by Gems. Smith, Mcolelland,
Hancock, and strosg escort of regular
cavalry, proceeded yesterday to Vienna,
which is five miles west of this place, and
remained there several hours.
The report abouts the rebel army being
in full retreat for Manassas are founded on
conjecture. at leastnOthing of it is known
in quarters entitled to confidence.
As stated in previous dispatch, a large
accommodating party proceeded as far as
Vienna, but returned before Gen. Mcclellan
had quite reached the village.
A hundred men only on similar business
proceeded to Avondale, which is about an
equal distance from Springfield to Fairfax
10. H.
Gen. Wadsworth went within mile
and half of Fairfax G. H., with COM
paratiyely small escort. From obserya-
tions it was conjectured the rebel force
there was composed of about two regi-
ments of infantry and battalion of cav
airy. The escort was fred on, but reach
ed their camp without resorting to any ex-
traordinary haste.
From gentleman who is presumed to
possess the best opportunities of Judging,
1t is ascertained the enemy has been alter
nately retiring and advancing within a
breadth of five or six miles of our lines.
The Treasury Department yesterday sent
West 81 300, 900 in treasury notes.
An official dispatch receivedfrom Darnes-
town this morning, represents all quiet on
the Upper Potomac. $500,
/ Quite number of upward bound vessels
ran the rebel blockade last night and have
arrived at the Navy Yard and at our
wharves. Among these is the Govern
ment steamer Ceur De Lion, which towed
up the Government sloop Granite, They
passed the batteries shortly after midnight.
The tugs Murray and Pnsey were sew
ernl times fred upon as they passed, tow
lug up compile of schooners loaded with
Government stores, but were not touched.
The Ceur De Lion spoke the Pawnee in
the Chesakeake Bay. The PRwnee was
not disabled, as reported, by the shots slie
received.
A large number of vessels are waiting
Mt Smiths Point for an opportunity to
come up.
The tug Patt Leslie, while on its way
down last night, ran into the Hugh Jenk-
ins; also bound down, near Mt, Vernon.
The Jenkins was struck near the bow and
so CRIPPLED that she was compelled to run
| into shoal water. where she rests on the
mud bottom. She had cavalry on board.
The Leslie returned to the Navy Yard
fora scow to take the horses off. 81.
The Harriet Lane left the Navy Yard
this morning.
The new rebel battery at Timber Creek
mounts tour guns.
wAsnlxeroS, Oct. ls.-Col. Kerrigan, of
n. Y, who has been under arrest for some
time past, charged with generating insub-
ordination, was to-day placed in charge of
the Provost Marshal.
Gen. Banks, after several days sOjourr
here on official business, left to-day for
his headquarters.
The Secretary of War has ordered Col.
Berdan to establish camp of instruction
in this city for his new army in the SER
vice, and to collect all the shooters he can
during the next ninety days, and in fact,
with full power to accept companies and
regiments of men, who, on examination,
may be found equal to the requirement.

Another Fight Al Harper,g Ferry.

0nObnS4 E46nI hS La pOA GO44J'
BALTIMORE, Oct. ia gentleman di-
rect from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry
announces that the rebels again approached
on Linden and Bolivar Heights this morn
ing and resumed the attack on the Union
forces, who were under the command of
Major Gould, and supported with artillery.
Maj. Gould fired upon them with canister
from the columbiad captured from the reb-
els on Tuesday and drove them back, but
not until the vandals had burned the mill
of Mr.. A. Ii. Herr and took the miller
prisoner, who they charged with giving
information to the Union troops of the
10000 bushels of wheat being brought
there to grind. The firing was in pro-
gress when our informant left.
The women and children were fleeing
in great terror to the Maryland shore, i'll
anticipation of the town being burned.
Major Gould was throwing shot aud
shell from Maryland Heights after the reb-
els and was confident that he could keep
them of until his reinforcements could
reach him.
Col. Geary,s wound is only slight cut
in the calf Of his leg, caused by the ex-
plosion Of shell. leu u #fTAH

tSg-ARREsT OF SECEsHER AND WHAT
c,yr orlT.-Yesterda whilst the wives of
III, soldiers were receiving their respective
nortiOns of the fund appropriated to their
relief by tbe city, an old secesher, who is
very fond of a practical joke, was observed
A,ndinE around, apparently very much
amused at the scene. Two of the seccsh-
.ls acquaintance observing him in the
crowd entered into conspiracy with a
couple of soldiers 10 have him arrested and
carried to the Atheneum, or "Bastile,1 as
he seeessionists cali 1t. The soldiers
readily undertook to play part in the
propOsed joke, and following up their in
,ructious they roughly seized the secesher
.sd started OF with him towards the Athe-
u.um, telling him that he would not be
allowed to insult soldiers wives with his
insolent jeers. The jokers started in ano-
Their direction and met the soldiers with
their charge at the door of the Atheneum,
where the latter was protesting against be-
ing dragged Otto prison without q trial.
His friends then came forward and appear
ing to be much surprised to find him in
military custody agreed to interccde for
BIN, and after great deal of trouble ny
succeeded in Persuading the soldiers tore
lease him. By this time large crowdhad
collected, and it was too good thing for
so many to keep. The secret was reveal
ed by universal outlaw. The secesher
acknowledged himself sold, aud invited nil
hands to take drink. As everybody
seemed to respond tothe invitation, the joke
vasa rather costly one, but the secesher
stood II with as good grace as possible !,
aad promised never to ap pear amused Mt a
similar scene.

Hay- THe other day we wrote and pub
I ished a nOtice in reference to difficulty
which seemed to exist about supplying the
families of soldiers who have enlisted in
the First Virginia Regiment from Ohio
We mentioned two women from Bridge
port who had applied to the Ohio authOri-
ties, hut could not draw from the fund
there because their husbands enlisted in
Virginia, and they 1.-THE women) cOuld not
draw from the Virginia fund because they
lived in Ohio. In good faith we suggested
that the matter ought to be remedied, when
the st. Gainesville Chronicle, very uukindly,
not 10 say iusOlently, told us to "mind our
own business" Since that time the au-
thOrities OF this city have arranged to
place the Ohio families upon the same foot
ing with our own, and the fund was in-
creased considerably in consequence
Yesterday ali drew from the fund alike. If
we, and others, had nattended to our own
business" perhaps these families might
have been suffering.

IT IS A COMMON OBSERVATION that there
are more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any
other civilized nation The reason is OBJ
Vious. We take too little exercise, and
forget the wants of the body in the absorb
ing pursuits of business. In all such
cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good What Is required is gust such
tonic and invigorAtor us DR.. y. Hostetter
has given to the world, in his CELEBRATED
"BITTERs.' The weak and nervous deni-
zen of the counting house, the exhausted
toiler upon the shop-board, and the pros
trated studento the midnight lamp, have
found wonderful regeuerator in the
'.Bitters," and prefer it to more pretentious,
but less efficacious medicines. But it
should not be forgotten that the agent
which is so magical in its influence upon
frame which is merely de6ilitnted, is
equally powerful in assisting nature to ex-
pei the most terrible forms of disease.

From missouri.

ST. LOUIS Oct. 1.-THE following dis
patch has been received from the officer ut
Pilot Knob, dated 10 o'clock last night.
Maj. Gerrit, of the lst Indiana cavalry,
made an attack on the enemy this morn
ing, when, discovering the strength and po-
sition of the rebels, he fell back until he
cRme upon Col. Alexander with coo infan-
of the 2lst Illinois and one piece. of artil-
lery. The enemy followed, fighting all the
way. Major Garrit then got tue gun in
position, and cencealiug his infantry caus-
ed part of his command to retreat still
further, thus drawing the enemy into an
ambuscRde, forcing them to fall back with
heavy loss.
SYRACUSE, No., Oct. IA messenger
from Gen Fremont's headquarters, at War
saw, arrived here to-day with dispatches
for Gen. McKiustry. 1t was said that
25 miles from 0ceola, with 10000 well
armed and disciplined troops and large
number of irregular militia.
On the arrival of Fremont Mt Warsaw
the opposite bank of the Usage river was
filled with rebel horsemen. They were
dispersed by few rounds of canister.
Fremont had begun the operations to lay
1t pontoOn bridge across the Usage when
the messenger left, and it was supposed
that his whole army would be over the
river ON Wednesday night. He was deter
mined to push on with the utmost vigor,
and would probably soon come up with
the enemy and force him to fight or re-
treat. -
IRoSToN, Mo-, Oct. l7.-No other bridge
than that at Big River has been interfered
with on the Iron Mountain r. R., and no
rebels are known to he near the road.
The 9Th Wisconsin Regiment is now
here, aud another regiment, with Major
Scofield's battery of artillery, is under
stood to be on the way, which will make
this point secure against attack.
The rebels are reported in large force %
miles below here, but nothing definite is
known as to their numbers or designs.
