III From Western Virginia we learn of an i'm
portant military movement probably directed to-
wards Harper'sFerry. Two thousand Ohio troops
crossed into Virginia at Parkersburg, the termna-
Ton OF the Northwestern Virginia Railroad, and
took possession Of that road towards Grafton, at
which point the latest accounts stated that ? 900
Virginia troops weregathered. At the same time
still larger force Of Federal troops crossed into
virginia below Wheeling, from whence the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad also runs TO G ration
These two bodies are thus equi-d slant firm a
common point Of concentration. The accunula-
ton OF baggage wagons and other co uipage for a
movlng army, at Chambersburg, also Indicate
that the force gathered there il shortly to move to-
wards Harper's Ferry. The feet, however, that
the forces at Parkersburg and Wheeling would
have to move for nearly three hundred miles
through difficult and partially hostile country,
before they reached HarPer's Ferry, renders it
doubtful whether that Ia their destination They
may be designed only for the protection CT the
Union men in Western Virginia
