to Harper's Ferry, on the Canal, the " ashlng-
ton Chronicle learns that when one mile from
Point of Rocks the boat was opened on oy
l2-pound gun from the south side OF the
Potomac. The party jumped ashore; some
took to the hills, others ran down the railroad
track. The Confaderates fred the boat after
they had taken everything OF value out OF her
They then cut the telegraph, and threw logs
across the rail track, and waited Tor the tram.
The engineer seeing the smoke from the burn
ing boat, stopped the train bnt not before the
battery fred four shells at it. While the train
stopped. the passengers, suppos!ng 1t was
captured jumped of, and some OF them fell
into the hands Of TIE Confederates, while some
got away up the mountain. While this was
going On, about fifty of the Confederates
dashed down to the town. They were not
opposed by single shot, though the place
was garrisoned by two companies OF cavalry
and TWO of infantry, in ali over one hundred
and fifty men, who were drawn up iii line Of
battle, but left without firing shot, These
men were Smead' cavalrymen who ran first
and the infantry were Of the Maryland Home
Brigade. They sought protection in the
mountains, where We met cavalrymen With
their horses hid ii fhe bushes, and infantry
soldiers, who had thrown away everything,
even TO their jackets When asked wby they
ran, they said it was their officer TAU It, The
officer Of inc day said, at Fred erick this morn
ing, wncn spoken TO about their conduct, that
b. could cot fight the whole rebel army, and
was not agoing to have his men cut up BY shell
aud canister When told their guns could
not reach him, he retorted that be believed We
were damned rebels.
