NAVAL PREPARATIoNs.-Ther is un-
usual activity in all the ship-yards of the
country, fitting out vessels of war intended
for operations against rebellion. In the
last six weeks thirty gunboats have been
fitted out in the Boston, New York, and
Philadelphia navy yards, carrying 221
guns, and all the vessels arc steamers.
At Portsmouth and Washington the
work has been equally as rapid and exten-
sive. The destination of these vessels is
purposely withheld. In the West move
ments arc quite as extensive, and land
and naval expedition, under General Nc
Clernand and Admiral Porter, is to be a
very formidable enterprise, the object of
which is to open the Mississippi, so that

Colonel Ellett's ram fleet is to have
prominent position in the iotilla. The
boats composing il have been thoroughly
overhauled and put in condition for win

rams in an action with the enemy's boats,
and can perform valuable service in con-

boat howtzers and twelve-pound guns.

Especial to Herald
Bolivar, Jefferson Co., Va, near
Baltimore. Feb. 2S.

Bolivar, Jefferson Co., Va, near
Baltimore, Feb 2S.
Since Monday night Harper's Ferry
and its vicinity have change hands. Our
advance guard, consisting of the 28th
Pennsylvania regiment. passed over the
Potomac from Sandy Hook to Harper
Ferry before daybreak on Monday morn
ing, by rope ferry, and took possession
of the town. Next day ample provision
for transporting troops over the river was
provided and our advanced guard was
considerably reinforced. Bolivar and
Charlestown, and considerable portion
Of the country on both banks Of the Shen-
andoah, are now occupied by our troops.
Except about 20 of the enemy which we're
captured, they all retired on the approach
of our army The people in this town
and the neighboring places which our
troops have occupied were in condition
bordering on starvation. There are CON-
paratively few inhabitants remaining here
now, and they all profess Union senti-
ments and great delight At being relieved
from the thraldom which has oppressed
them for the last six months. Many ref.
ugees are returning.
The right wing of the army has con-
siderably curtailed the rebel territory in
Virginia and made foothold for itself
which all the power Of the rebellion can
not wrest from it. The enemy have made
sad havoc among residences Of the Union
people here since the departure Of our
troops. So far no opposition has been
given to our advance, not hostile shot
having been fired. Gen. Banks has es-
tablished his headquarters on the road
from Harper's ferry to Bolivar. The en-
envy shelled the trains to-day at Berlin,
but their practice was bad, and out of
twelve shots fired only two exploded, and
none Of them did any deDage.
The plans of Gen. Mcclellan are being
rapidly unfolded, and you may rely upon
il, from my own personal observation, that
brave young cbieftain is diligently - well
as skillfully laboring to crush the monster
rebellion ct the earliest moment.

Bolivar, Nd, March I.
The army Of Gen. Banks occupied
Harper's Ferry unopposed on Wednes-
day, with Ill the necessaries for perma-
nent occupation. The advance took pos
session Of Bolivar Heights yesterday and
pushed reconnaissance to Charleston, cap.
turing few prisoners. Loudon Heights
are also occupied, to prevent any flank
movement of the enemy.
Charlestown was occupied bya strong
force and will he held against any attack.
The plans of the commanders are not
known, but the movement is probably to
cover the reconstruction of the Baltimore
and Ohio R. r. bridges and may mean
more.
A train Of cars passing the Berlin sta
ton was fred 1t to-day by rebel battery
but no harm was done.
The troops are in excellent health and
we'll protected from theinclement weather.
No accident occurred in the transportation
Of the troops and supplies over the river
The pontoon bridge was complete sue
cess.
Hundreds of refugees have returned to
their desolate homes, and those remain.
ing are overjoyed at our presence.
Nothing reliable has been heard from
Winchester. The current report says it
has been considerably reinforced.
A small body OF the enemy are supposed
to be south of Loudon Heights, four or
Ave miles back of the river, but not of
sufficient strength to cause alarm.
