PARTICULARS OF THE BATTLE.
BALTIMORE, Oct. IA gentleman arrived
from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, furnishes
The following particulars Of the fight between
six companies, consisting of parts Of the
Twenty.eighlh Pennsylvania, Third Wisconsin,
and Thirteenth Massachusetts, regiments, under
command of Col. John W. Geary, and three
thousand rebels.
Early yesterday morning the rebels showed
themselves on Bolivar Heights at Harper's
Ferry, and commenced an attack with artillery
upon three companies under Major ]. P-Gould,
stationed on the north side of the Potomac.
A constant fire was kept up for some hours,
when three companies of the Third Wisconsin
Regiment crossed the river formed into line,
drove the enemy back and succeeded 10 oaptur-
ing one of their heavy guns. They were, how
ever, compelled to retreat but in good order, to
the river. They were then reinforced by three
other companies, and with Col. Geary at their
head marched upon the enemy, and after hard
fighting, drove them from their position aud re-
captured the gun, S2-pounder Columbiad.
Our forces had but three pieces of artillery,
and these were fired from this side of the river
until the enemy retreated. The enemy had
seven pieces, and Eve hundred cavalry, tOgeth-
er with infantry.
The enemy was completely routed and driven
back some three miles. Our loss in killed and
wounded is not over seven, and that of the re.
bells at least l5O Col. Ashby was at the head
of the rebels, and is killed.
