Harper,s FERRY noIt noyI..

z Mr. Page, tho talented editor of the
Cleveland Leader has recently returned
from Fortress Monroe. He thus speaks of
Harper's Ferry as he saw it on his way
homeward:
Coming to-day via Harper's Ferry, we
saw the full effect of wars desolation Mt
that famous place. The government build
ings, once stately aud alive with industry
are now a mass of ruins, the streets are
filled with the rubbish from the burned
and fallen houses. the splendid bridge is
no more, private houses are burned down,
sacked or turned into stables for the hOr-
ses, and not sign of business life or en-
ergy can be seen except that incident to
the transfer of passengers and freight be-
tween the eastern aud western shores ofLhe
Potomac. The.engtne house, where John
Brown attempted to hold the United
States at bay, is still standing. 1t is a
plain, brown structure, with two
double doors upon one side opening to the
larger room, in which are coptned about
dozen secession prisoners. One end
| OF the building is used as a blacksmith's
shop. lis Significant coincidence, this

in which Browns infatuated but heroic
band bid defiance to the whole pro-slayery

and jeered at the hanging of the martyr of
their prison house. The brick walls still
show the marks of the bullets which were

The bridge having been destroyed, by the
re0els, and the subsequent temporary
structure carried away by the freshet, the
passengers cross in primitive style. A
cable is stretched across the river, The
