THE HARPER,s FERRY INvESTI-
CATION.
New York, Nov. /

New York, NOV. ~.
The Tribune prints the report of the
ffarper's Ferry Military Commission and
gives the following synopsis of the facts
elected edtorially. The material facts
are as follows:
Col Miles was in command at Harper's
Ferry. Gen. White was present from
Sept. 1eth till the surrender, but did not
assume command. Col. Ford took com
mand Of Maryland Heights Sept. 5th.-
Gen. Mcclellan left Washington for
Rockville Sept 7th---most of his forces
having preceded him. The enemy at
tackled Maryland Heights on the morning
of Sept 18th. The l26,h New York
broke and fed disgracetuly, and the
brcastworks on the hill were lost. Col
Miles was on Maryland Heights that even
ing for some hours, consulting with Col
Ford, and left betwec" ! and IL o'clock
without directly ordering Col. Ford to
evacuate the heights, but with instruc-
tons to spike his guns if compelled 10
abandon. About 2 O'Clock Col. Ford
abandoned the heights. The enemy did
not occupy them. and the next day Col.
Dulassay sent over four companies who
brought away four guns and wagon load
If ammunition After the evacuation of
Maryland Heights, Col. Miles sent word
to Mcclellan, then at Frederick City, that
unless reinforced he could not hold out
AS hours Mcclellan thereupon dispatch
ed a messenger to Gen. Franklin, who was
engaged with the enemy at Cratapton's
Gap, wholly unable to give the needed as
sistance or to ciecit i'll time. Mcclellan
appears to have made no other effort to
relieve the place. The enemy attacked
Harper Ferry on the morning Of the 9Th,
and a. m. the surrender was agreed on .
Col. Miles represented to the brigade
commanders, whom he consulted, that his
ammunition was nearly exhausted, and
they conaurred in his decision to surren-
der. The commission acquit Gen. White,
Dulassay and Col. Trimble of all blamc for
the surrender, and praise the capacity f~r
the former. They find that Col. Ford
was given, by Col. Miles, discretionary
powers to abandon Maryland Heights,
but the exercise of the discretion was the
prctence that be conducted tle defense
with no ability, and that his exhibition of
lack of capacity disqualiy him for COM
mand. Col Miles is convicted of inca
paclty and criminal neglect, especially in
neglecting to fortify and hold Maryland
Heights, the key Of the position. Evil
dence stated in the report concerning hi
course with the rebels Is su h as to raise
the strongest suspicious OF treachery; also
Gen. w DOL is gravely censured for placing
so incapable an officer as Col. Miles IN con.
mand Concerning Mcclellan, the evil
dencc adducod in the report and the opin-
ion expressed by the commission are most
direct and dangerous The General,in-
Chief testfes that Gen. Mcclellan, after
receiving orders to drive the enemy from
Maryland, marched on an average of only
ak miles day in pursuit. and that in his
opinion he both could and should have
relieved and protected H4rpers Ferry. II
this opinion the commission fully concur

End OF the Cotton Famine lin Eng-
land

Ihe day was sure to arrive when the |
general inability to believe in a supply of |
cotton from other sources than the !
American cotton States must give away
before the facts. That day seems to be
near at hand. At the end Of last week. |
the cargocs from India began to arrive -
Upwards of 10000 bales from Bombay
came IN during three days, and the guam
tity from that port actually at sea and at
Liverpool, was found to be about 397,-

spoke Of 100000 bales, appears to be
fully justified in the hopelessncss Of his
tone. The next disclosure was, that we
have prospect Of supply, in 1868, of
1850, 900 out of 4,oo0,o 900, which is the
largest quantity desired at the ordinary
rate of prices This amount will be Just
double the quantity used per week, for
the last three months and thus it would
seem that the worst must be passed AT

tue promised supply, independent Of any
change in American affairs, viii yield
81 ,345 bales per week. The sources Of
this supply are India, the Brazils, Egypt,
Turkey, Greece, Italy, chance cargoes
from America, and other sources. p
These "o.her sources are only credited
with $4,000. Considering that the Yves,

1t is a terrible condemnation Of imbe-

che Cause.

The radicals are busy finding causes
for their defeat in the recent elections
Some of them claim that the decrease
vote for the Abolitionists and the increase
vote for the Democracy demonstrates that
the Democrats have kept out Of the army
while the others are away from homo
serving their country. This is the phil
osophy Of demagogues. Every sensible
man knows and every honest man will
admit that the Democrats have contribu
ted their full share Of men to tie army,
1t is equally well known that the great
political change was brought about hy
men voting the Democratic ticket who
have heretofore voted against it.
In this county, and doubtless the same
may be said of all others, mon who have
steadily voted against the Democracy fo
ten, twenty, thiIty, forty and some fo
fifty years came out to the polls and gave
their votes and Influence for the Demo
cratic candidates. The large majority o
these men were old Wings, who have
become satisfied that the abolitioniSt'
have taken control Of the Republican
party, and therefore, they decline to act
with that patty longer.
The large majority of the people arr
fully satisfied that the hcrsics of secession
and abolition arc alike hostile to tn
peace Of the county al.l the prosperity o
the Union, an they are beginning to Sc
that in this national emergency the Al
ministration Of the Government must b
entrusted TO conservative, Union lovin,
men.
