As / write, the troops who were taken rrs
oners at Harper's Ferry are marching
through the town. They consist Of the OH
Vermont the 18th New-York, 10Th New

New-York, SOD, Goth, and s7th Ohio, and the Goth
Illinois, beside the GGrbaldi, IN Indiana aud ILL.,
nois battery.
TIE white flags were displayed on the hills over
the ferry, while at the ferry our men were blazing
away at the Rebels on the Maryland nights. One
of Nliless saf rode down and hallooed out an Off
Ger near the aag.s.aff "Haul down that flag! 1t is
the cause Of all our trouble" All the officers state
that oar large guns on the Maryland bights Were
spiked by order Of Miles before any Rebels were
seen in the locality. Some Of the officers could
hardly believe it until the Rebels made their appear
ance, when they noticed that the guns silent,
and learned Of their being spiked the day before.
About / 600 Rebels, among whom are the following
officers are marching down to the railroad DEPOT, un-
der guard. They are going TO Baltimore.
An'oiicer informs me that of Gen. Hill was
taken prisoner near Harpers Ferry last Monday.
lie had plans Of the Notifications, and an inventory
Of the number Of guns, amount Of ammunition,
arms stores, &C., on his person. He was brought
before Miles, who discharged him, and gave him a
pass outside our lines. The pass was not respected
by officers, and be was brought back when
Miles rode out with him and passed him outside our
lines From every indication which the line Off
could see for some days before the Rebels came
to the Ferry, they distrusted Miles He also refused
the re-enforcemens which Gen. Banks offered him,
saying that he could hold il against any force brought
against him.
He would not send ammunition to our batteries az
he sent word that there was in the garrison
but the Rebels boast that they have captured large
supply. Ten minutes after they got possession they
commenced removing all the stores they could, az
they were about TO skedaddle toward Virginia. They
hardly demanded any parole from our men, 30 great
was their hurry. A good many of the regimental
flags were lost, but tore off all they could,
and secreted them on their persons. To-day they
march with them flying from branches Of trees and
poles that they could find. Miles was wounded in
the leg by shell from the Rebel batteries on the
London Higbts as he was riding down to give orders
to have the flag 1T the Ferry hauled down. He died
last night. The men utter bitter maedictons against
him.
None of our wounded have been yet brought in
good many surgeons left this place yesterday for
Middletown. great many of the delegates of the
Christian Association have arrived here with hospital
supplies, amongst them met Capt. f. c. Williams
OF whaling notoriety. One of your special messengers
from the field arrived here this morning. and went
on to New-York. More prisoners are being brought
IN, and the latest news from McClellans army is to
the effect that large body Of the Rebels have been
taken prisoners. The weather here is very mild and
tins CITY is exceedingly quiet; the Union men have
smiling faces and the Harpers Ferry affair is not
looked upon as anything; the Rebels are every.
where in full retreat. We will have good pews 10
send you very sooD. DIX.
