The Capture Of Harper. Ferry.

Although no official confirmation Of the re-
ported capture of the Federal garrison az Har-
per's Ferry reached this city yesterday, no one
doubts for moment its reliability Such were
the plaus adopted for the accomplishments of
that object, that every one feels the utmost con
fdence in the report. Passengers who came
down on the Centrsl train yesterday afternoon
state that the report had reached GOrd0nsville
that the whole garrison, some eight thousand in
number, surrendered On Sunday morning, be-
sides which our forces captured about enc
thousand negroes.
An officer who came through By Winchester,
says that before he left that town on Monday
morning courier arrived bringing the intelli-
gence that ve had eaptHred on Sunday sll the
strong positions around Harpsrs Ferry except
one, and about five thousand Of the enemy, but
theyEwere yet in possession of ths main foTtt6-
cation, which was held by soma three thousand
men. We do not know whether this main fort
is on the Virginia side OF tbe Potomac or on the
Maryland Hights We suppose, however, that
it must be on the Hights, sior with them in our
possession, it would be impossible for the enemy
TO hold the town, as it is within easy range Of
shell from that point
The csnnonading on Sunday is re represented to
have been very heavy and the fighting unusu-
ally severe, the enemy making most desperate
and determined resistance. We hardly think
there can be implicit conf ience in the statement
that fter the surrender of tho larger part of the
force there that three thousand men would at
tempt to continue resistance in the face Of the
odds against them, aud conclude that the whole
force yielded to our victorious foIces Rich

Correspondence of the Chicago Times
| FREDERICK, Nd, September 16.-I regret to
announce the surrender Of Harpers Ferry, with
all the forces and stores there, to the enemy, at
9 o'clock Monday morning. Enlisted men and
some officers have been paroed, and arrived
here. From them l gather the following par
tieulsrs
The rebels commenced an attack on Friday
noou on our forces on Maryland Hights Skir-
mishing continued throughout the day, and was
renewed on Saturday, and the enemy driven
back with considerable loss. They came u9
several times, and were repulsed, when it was
discovered they were approaching in over
whelming force. The order was given to spike
the guns and throw them down the mountain
The whole force from the nights then returned
10 safety, the guns from Camp Hill shelling the
enemy when they attempted to pursue our re-
treating men.
=. On Sunday morning party of our men again
sscended the nights and brought away their
ldpieees which they had left unspiked. Sun
day at noon the rebels appeared in great force on
L0udon Hights. Miles shelled them from point
to point. Some OF their guns was dislodged
but they still managed to kesp up brisk FIRE
from some of their batteries which were run
back out of sight and loaded. Cannonading
was kept up all day Sunday without doing
much damage Firing ceased at about dusk
Sunday evening, and was resumed again on
Monday morning at daylight, and kept up till
9 O'clock, when Miles ordered the white Asg to
be raised. There was considerable fog and
smoke, and the enemy didn't see the flag, OF
wouldn't see it, and kept up heavy fire for
three-quarters of an hour. About ten minutes
after the flag was up a shell struck Col Miles,
shatiering his right leg. 1t was amputated be
fore the prisoners were paroled.
There were about twenty-three hundred cav
airy in the command, all of whom, except about
forty, escaped about eight o'clock Sunday night,
and cut their way through to GreencastIe, with
but little loss. The balance of the troops
numbering from six thousand 10 eight thou
sand-with General Julius Whites command,
from Martinsburg, were all surrendered
General Howe captured an aid of Stuarts on
Monday afternoon, who was making his way
from Hsrper's Ferry to Boonesboro' with
dispatch from Jackson to Lee, announcing the
capiiulation of the place. The aid supposed
that Lee was at B0onsboTo', which is in our pos
session. This was the first intimation of the
surrender that our generals had received.
At this time franklin was within three hours
of the Ferry, going to the relief Of tine be-
leaguered command, whittier be had been ordered
by Mcclellan, so soon as he received the dispatch
from Miles on Monday morning that he was in
danger

friend, writing from New Kent county, Va,
on the 10th, gives US an account of the battle of
Williamsburg, which has been published The
letter, however, contains the following items of

9 The traitor, L. J. B1wden, was il his house
when We entered the city, but escaped, not tax
ing time even TO slip on his trowsaloOns It was
truly affecting to see the citizens, and particu-
lariy The ladies, (God bless their souls ) kindly
welcoming the southern soldiers, and Offering
refreshments to their true friends
The killed on our side were thrsa Virgiuians
and two Ge0rgisns For want of transportation
we had to destroy al Of the tents stores, etc q,
and about one thousand bushels Of corn.
The enemy have only been above Williams
burg but once since the battle, aud then but q
short distance from their lair. There is no one
suffered to leave Williamsburg, and the ladies of
the county above the city are paroIsd before they
are suffered to leave Oar forces at this place

additional news

pickets at the Forge was brought to this CITY
yesterday by Mr. o + Taylor. The negro states
that force Of about two thousand Federal in
tantry, with artillery aud cavalry, was encamped
four miles this side Of Williamsburg. Our
scouts, on Wednesday, saw two Federal soldie.s
up as high as Birhamsyile, eighteen miles this
side Of Williamsburg. The Yankees ran off
Mr. Taylor, on his way up. saw fourteen Vir-
giuians who had escaped from the Eastern shore.
They describe the Yankee rule there as yerv oD-
pressive, though the force there is not very large

should have been stated that the charge made by
our troopers on tho Yankees at their lest stand
was led by Col Shingler in person

A gentleman just from Knoxville, Tenn. says
that difficulty occurred in Nashville during the
early part Of the past week between Cen Dor
Charles Buell., commander Of the Yankee army
Of the West, aud Andy johnson, Lineoln's pro
visi0nal governor Of Tennessee. The quarrel
grew out Of a difference Of opinion between
these distinguished Linc0lnites as to the p1Ifcy
OF evscusting Nashville at present. Buell. con
tended that it was military necessityr ~ and.
hanked as he was cast and west, with General
Bragg army north of him, and the Confede-
rates also holding Chattanooga aud Murfrees-
borO t. the south, it was impossible for him to
hold Nashville and subsist bis army johnson
replied that, notwiths landing the reasons alleged
by Buell. the place must MT be evacuated; and
II 1t was he should certainly blow 10 the cspi-
tol building before he made bis way out of the
city Buell. rejoined by stating that he would
cause johnson to be shot if be dared destroy the
capitol. WheIeupOn johnson remarked shat
Duell was a d-d scOuudrel This was an in
suit that the Federal general felt himself bound
70 resent, which 40 did By knocking johnson
down, jumping upon him, and giving him a
pretty sound beating. JOhnson's face is said TO
have been very badly bruised. 1t last accounts
johnson had fed the place, and Buell. endeay-
ored to follow the governors example, but fla J.
ing that General Bragg was too quick FOR him,
and bad placed his powerful army between the
Cumberland and Gralati0. Teuaced his steps and
re-entsred Nashville. Here he will probably
remain until forced to surrender for lack of sup
plies This intelligence was brought to Kuox-
vile on Sunday last by a gentleman who had
escaped from Nashville.

The old army in the field viii thus number
