Harper's Ferry, Virginia, on the rBalti-
more & Ohio Railroad at the confluence of
the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, so
miles from Washington, is a, place of no
little revolutionary renown. B It was the
scene Of cold John Browns daring ex-
plot in so, and it has figured conspicu.
ously since the opening of die present re.
belliou, alternately beiag in possession of
our forces and the hands of the rebels. -
It Was upon this place that Gen. Milroy
fell back after his late disastrous engage
ment with the rebel raiders at Winchester.
And, strange to say, its physical history is
revolutionary. The view is the widest
relic of chaos on this continent. & And this
is its story: {" Two rivers made efforts at
tunnelling a mountain-chain which OBJ
structed their passage to the. sea. Neither
was abe to do it. So. they ran along
the base of the mountains, until finally
they met each other then forming an al
lance they hurled themselves against the
mountain in one volume; the fortress was
battered down, its giant walls scattered
here and there on every side, and the tri-
umphant torrent hastens on to the sea-" e.,
