The Position at IIarper's Ferry

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 25.-The Bulletin
has the following specials:
HARPER's FERRY, Aug. 23.-The position
of our army is still unchanged. A strong
line of intrenchments has been thrown out
in front. Desultory skirmishing could be
heard all day yesterday, and this morning
it broke out with redoubled strength in
front of the 10Th corps, which is holding
the center. Nothing of importance, how
ever, resulted from it, and it has now almost
entirely ceased.
II O'Clock, midnight.-No evidence Of the
enemy being in our immediate front has
been obtained as yet and it is believed they
will make an attempt to cross the river,
although the latest news from Williamsport
says they had not crossed the Potomac.
Guns could be heard yesterday up the river,
supposed to be Averill shelling the woods
in the direction of Sharpsburg. Our army
is lying quietly in their intrenched camps.
Gen. Max Weber has been relieved from
command at Harper's Ferry, and ordered
to report for duty in the Department of the
Susquehanna. Gen. Stevenson now has
command of Harper's Ferry.

A Gard from Surgeon General
Hammond.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Ex-surgeon Cen
eral Hammond, In published card, says
that he learns from the remarks of Judge
Advocate General Holt on the proceedings
of the court martial in his case, and from
the order of President Lincoln appended
thereto, that he has been dismissed the ar
my and prohibited from ever holding office
under the United States government. He
says that he has no idea that he will lose
one friend by this action of the administra-
tion, but his good name is valuable to him,
not only as regards those who know him,
but those who do not. So soon, therefore,
as he is furnished with copy of the find
ings and sentence of the court he will pre-
sent the public brief history Of the facts
leading to his arrest and trial. A review of
the record in his case, and some commenta-
tions on the report OF the Judge Advocate
General, will be presented to the public.
With these he will be content to submit to
the Judgment of the world as to how far he
has been guilty of the offenses charged, and
how far he has been the victim of conspira-
cy, false swearing and malignant abuse of
official power.
