EnrroRs AFFEAL: cit down in the milst
Of hustle, dust and confusion, to write you e
line. My last, or fourth note was from Lees
burg, in the county below this, and in each !
informed you that had not seen, or heard, Of
an AFrEAL since I left Memphis II you srs
sending me your paper, or mailing It, rather,
save yourself TIE trouble until I get back.
On the night before last orders were given
FOR the evacuation OF HsTPsr's Ferry, and
soon the camp was I'll in motion, sons
T. ginsnts leaving and others prsferring to fol-
low. To-day not less than 1000 troops passed
through this place, the last OF the great Har-
per's Ferry camp, with their Baggage wagons,
hying artillery, etc. I cRnnnt learn that any
Of The heavy guns were removed. It is report
cd that they were spiked. Before TIE men left
Harpsr's Ferry, they burned all TIE public
buildings saved from The ~c9nfsgration ~
Jones, the tool Of old Abe, the two bridges
there over the Potomac, and the one at Shsp-
herdstown. Mere Of the United States build
ings were standing, and more guns. and much,
more Of the msohineFy-since sent to Faystte-
vile, N.C.-wsre saved from the first FIRE than
/ had supposed and many of the guns, etc,
but partially injured, were repaired aud made
available. The men bave among them a great
many minnie 7 hes, Colts rifles, Colts pistols,
sharPe's rifles, etc, and in fact anything to
make them greatly superior to their foes. I
an confident that Eve Of our regiments can
whip three Of theirs, and Will often overcome
double their number. They ali appear to be
in fine health and spirits, and distressed only
at the thought Of being kept 50 long waiting
for a sight at the enemy.
Among the Mississippi =" boys" are Colonel
Moore, a noble fellow, full six feet thrse
inches, Capt. Delaney. Mr.. Mason Of Holly
Springs, VIM. MeNsiTy, Aberdeen, and others,
good and true, whom it was my pleasure to see
several times at Bsrper's Ferry, and again
here to-day. Where they are all to stand no
one knows. The colonies even did not know
Of the contemplated evseua6on Of HaFper's
Ferry three days ago. For the present, they
q to Winchester, a handsome town having
six thousand inhabitants, and twenty-five
miles above OF west Of this, in a rich country,
where they can, If needed there, more quickly
pass over the Blue Ridge to Massassas Junc-
tion. Wherever sent, or whatever may betide
them, all feel confidence in their generals, and
obey cheeTfully all orders. At this moment
the rear guard, composed Of GsorEians, are
passing through aid making this quiet village
rssound with their jubilsnt outbursts, as did
others before them. l forgot 70 mention, that
at HarTer's Ferry, 7 accidentally fell in with
a MIR. Newmsn, from Tennessee, brother to a
lawyer in your city, who vac, / bellsve,
speaker in your house OF representatives. He
is a noble, fne looking gentleman, and will
sus day make bis mark. 1t is thought that
some Of the troops will be sent to Romnsy. II
SO, I will follow, and from that place will
write again.
A few days ago an Indiana regiment (ths
same that was raised at Evansville By Colonel
Wallace, I suppose,) came over from near
Cumberland to Romney, about sixty miles (
above this, with a view to rob the bank at that
place, but they were disappointed, for the Vir-
siuiaBs have learned at last that they have to
seal with vsgsbond scoundrels, and are begin
ming to anticipate them.
Il is reported and believed here that H. ".
DAVIS, Of Baltimore, has been defeated for con-
gress, and that the legislature has passed a Sc
e%ession ordinance. I pity the MaryIanders
from the bottom OF ny heart. I meet them
everywhere, wandering about like sheep With
out a shepdird-their capitol, city and fort
taken from them, and he "foots of The tyrant
"dOwn firmly" upon themi But a day Of ven
geaacs is at band. Yours, S.
