of adopting measures to counteract
the proceedings of the disunionists,

.A.nother and Different Report
BALTIMORE June B.—A Baltimore
deserter from Harper's Ferry has ar
rived here. He represents a deplora
ble state of affairs there. He says there
is no discipline, the men only half
armed, and that food is only obtained
by scramble, fight or foraging. Half
of the force are watching the opportu
nity to desert, and ho ridicules the
idea of their being in condition to repel
the force now approaching .froM Chant
bersburg. He thinks that seeession has
played out in that part of Virginia, and
that the place will be evacuated.

53. liorses were discovered picketed
half a mile beyond the river on the
crest of the hill, The observer judged
the number of rebels' in the neighbor
hood to be about 200. The largest
body is encamped at Falling Waters,
five miles below. Every ford is strict
ly guarded, and the rebels have seized
and broken up every skiff' on the river
they could get. As soon as the river
falls there will be fifty fords of easy
access for infltntry and cavalry, and
the passage of the Potomac cannot be
prevented.'

Great Movements , Towards Harper's
Forry--A Balloon for Reoonnotterint
Purposes Tested.
WASHINGTON, June o.—The Rhode
Island regiments break up their camps
at midnight and leave per railroad in
the direction of Harper's Ferry early
to-morrow morning. Their marine
battery was to-night brought into the
city, taken to the railroad depot, un
limbered and loaded. on the train,
together with the artillery horses and
those belonging to the full staff, at 6
o'clock this evening. Professor Allen,
of Rhode Island, this afternoon brought
into the city a large balloon which lie
inflated from the: city gaspipe 'at the
corner of Massachusetts avenue and
Fourth street, and afterwards loaded
it down with sand bags for more con
venient transportation to the Rhode
Island camp, about one mile north of
the capitol, at which place a cord 'five
thousand feet long was attached to
the basket and an experifnental ex
cursion made to that height.
The balloon is for immediate recon
noitering purposes, and it is said that
he .will start on his mild Toyage, early
to-morrow morning.
At 6 o'clock this morning 'a full
company of the New York Second
regiment arrived and joined their com
panies; also, a large detachment for
the Now York Ninth.
WAsnmoroN, Junc:lo.—No advance
on Harper's Ferry by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, is intended, as the
condition of the road and the bridges
would make it a tedious as well as
difficult business.
The Regiments that left here this
morning go by Chambersburg. Some
troops will be sent to Frederick, lid.,
to protect the Union men at the elec
tion on Thursday, as there are intima
tions of an intended attempt to depose
Gov. hicks and establish a provisional
Government, by the Legislature now
sitting there.
The non-payment of the troops,
which is exciting sumo comment, is
caused by the absence of the necessary
pay rolls, There is no lack of money
or of a dispo'sitioh on. the part of the
Government to pay them. So soon as
the requisite forms can be complied:
with, this temporary ineonveniehce
will be remedied.
Gen. Cadwalader was relieved of
his command in Baltimore for the
purpose of taking the more responsi
ble command of the - expedition to
Haiper's Ferry, which begun its move

FROM WASHINGTON.
to The 1h es- , .]
Late from Efarpn's Perry.
WASHINGTON, June 9.—A reliable
gentleman, whose name is prudently
withheld, but in whose statements im
plicit reliance is placed here, was at
Harper's Ferry within twenfy-four
hours. Ire was informed that jell'.
Davis, Beauregard and Wigfall had
been at Harper's Ferry within a few
clays. From an acquaintance whom he
found, and between himself and whom
a mutual confidence has long since
been established, he gathered sonic
facts: The troops are in hourly antici
pation of an attack frOm the Union
forces. They were apprehensive of
approaches from different quarters,
and if' the road
_to Manassas Junction
should be taken from ,their control,
they would, if' overconmin an engage
ment., all become prisomirs.
The supply of rations to the troops
was very irregular; sometimes for two
or three days there Wafi abundance,
but the other part of the week was
often passed without a regular meal at
mess hours. Many of the privates
were deserting, and a feeling of proba
be defeat dainpened the; ardor of the
men.
lt is the opinion of some of our ex
perienced military officers here that
the troops will attempt to evacuate
Harper's Ferry on the approach of the
Federal troops; but the very fact of
their retreat being cut off will suggest
to them the necessity of a desperate
struggle for victory.
Arrest .of Mole ar.ies
Friday morniiik, in the early gray
of day, 0 number of men in the Sixty
ninth left Fort Corcoran to bring in
their oxen. They espied a band of
men in the distance, making observa•
tions. Information wai sent to 111 e
fbrt, and a detachment sent out, who
surrounded and captured live men.—
They were brought in and handed
over to General Mansfield.

The experienced veteran ; \Qio di

ments of the dax said ton confidential
friend, within a few clays, that peace
would he restored to the whole coun
try and the country restored to its le
gitimate proportions by the return of
May month in 1862. his movements
now in regard to Virginia evidently
indicate a grand coup de voice that
,will decide the supremacy of military
power in that State. The advance of
troops from three or more points upon
Harper's Ferry, the complete prepara
tion of Gen. Butler's column to make
an advance upon Norfolk ; and General
McDowell's column now prepared for
advancing upon Manassas Junction,
suggests a grand simultaneous move
ment upon these important points, that
will decide the supremacy and control
in that State.
Military Movem3nts
Nearly one hundred army wagons
arrived by trains yesterday. Imme
diately on arrival men commenced put
ting them together. This morning a
largo number of tlAmt were loaded up
with provisions and sent out of the
city, borne of them to the camps in
- Virginia, and otheis apparently for a
more distant point.
A company of U. S. Cavalry paraded
the city at an early hour and passed
into - Virginia. They carried rations
and provender.
The State of Missouri is deta - ched.
from the Department of the West, and
incorporated into that now under the
command of Gen. McClellan.
But for the depredations of certain
volunteers on private property in
Hampton, and for miles around, as
well as in Fairfax county, it is repre
sented here that thC Union'feeling in
Virginia would have been considerably
strengthened. Efforts, are now being
made to remedy the just complaints,
and to assure the inhabitants of pro
tection.

Thirty-six full regiments, a numbep

THE WAR IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Particulars of the PIGI4t at Philippi
GRAFTON, Monday night, June
The excitement has been intense here
all day, about the action- at Philli pi,
of which you are already apprise by
telegraph. Ever since about 11 o'clock
this morning; persons have beerCeOm
big in-from the scene of action/tuff at
each new arrival eager crowds. wonld
gather around to hear the latestivers
lon of the fight. - EVery one tells the
story a little different, and it is exceed
ingly difficult at this time to get an
absolutely accurate account of the af
fair. -Mr. 13urdett came. in from Phil
lippi this evening,:and..from him 'and
others I have gleaned a tolerably clear
statement,.
Yesterday morning at- ten ,o'clock
four ,regiments left here, in two cliNtis
ions. Ono consisting .of,the.first
giniallegiment, part'of the Ohio Sik
teenth, and the Indiana Seventh, tinder
command of Col. Kelley; the 'other the
Indiana' Ninth 'and the Ohio 'Four
teenth, commanded by Col. Lander; of
Milian fighting, wao - on road and Pot
ter and Pryor duel: notoriety. ;.Col.
Kelley's division moved cast by:iail
road, to Thornton, a small way station,
five miles distant from heir. ',Thence
they marched , to Phillippi, Cu , distance
of twenty-two miles. The Indiana
regiment moved out the N. W:Ya.
It. E. to - Webster, where they Were
joined by the Ohio .Fourteenth,' from
which place they 'pushed , forward on
foot to Phillippi, twelve 'miles distant.
The march of the two divisions was
performed last night through darkness,
rain and mud. ',IV - was a terrible un
dertaking, hat they all Went bravely
through it unshrinkingly and without
complaint. All night they toiled on
through the darkness and storm, the
soft earth yielding ben'etith their feet
till the gray dawn found theth 'in the
neighborhood of the enemy.
Col. Lander reports as they neared
Phillippi ; they word discovered by ,
woman, who fired at hhn twice, itnd
who sent her little boy across the hills
(as he afterwards 'found) to apprise
the enemy of their approach. lie tir
lived on the hill across the river, from
and below Phillippi, and commanding
the town and the encampment; (just
below the town) a little before day
light this morning. ' They at °nee
planted two pieces of 'artillery on the
brow of the hill, just, above the camp,
and prepared to open on them when
the time arrived: Four o'clock was
the hour at whichl . the attack was to
be made imultancously by both di
visions. Col. Kelley was to attack
them in the rear and cut off their re
treat, while Col. Lander would 'assault
them in front.", But Col. Kelley's di
vision was behind the appointed' hour,
owing to the terrible fatigues of their
forced march of twenty-two miles;
and in addition to this they missed
their-point, and instead of coming in
on the Beverly road; above Phillippi,
and effectually cutting off all retreat,
they came in, When they did conic,
just below thotown.
When'the 'day began to dawn upon
the impatient forces of Col. Lauder, it
discovered to them`the camp below in
a state of commotion, evidently in
great alarm and' preparing for 'a light.
The 'hour , appointed for the attack
et - rine and Passed, but Col. Kelley's di-
Vision had not arrived. Impatient to
begin the attack, and fearful that the
rascals, almost within his grasp, should
escape without smelling powder, Col.
Lander ordered the artillery to begin
the attack, mid at a quarter past four
the guns were unlimbered and dropped
the first messenger of terror into the
rebel camp, less than . a - quarter of a
mile away. . Simultaneously with. the
roar of the first gun, Col. Kelley, at
the head of his command, came in
sight across the river below the Camp,
and comprebendinii-the condition of
affairs, they rushed - forward at once in
the direction of the camp. Meanwhile
the battery having after the first shot
or two, got the acenrate:range, played
upon the camp with marked effect,
tearing through tents and houses at a
fearful rate. 'This the chivalry ,conld
not stand; and they scattered like rats
from a burning barn. ' They had no
time to retreat in order. They didn't
'even retreat at all—they ran, fled most
ingloriously—ran like sheep. in every
direction that promised safety, after
firing a random and' scattering volley
which did no damage li - diatevar. Col.
Kelley's eommandwas close after, the
Virginia troops in advance, the Henry-
Clay Guards.in front and' Col.. Kelley
and Capt. Fordyce leading. At the
same time Col. Lander's force came
rushing clown the hill to the bridge,
and they all put out after the fugitives
yelling like Indians. '

fell by' a shot from a foe concealed
either behind'a fence' or in' a house;
some say the assailant fired from be
hind a wagon others that Col. Kelley
was - pressing him hard, with a 'view' of
capturing bun when he wheeled and
fired. This is not substantiated. At
any rate, the shot Ras fired after the
engagement was over, and was just
such a piece of assassination as 'that
by which fell the loved and lamented
Ellsworth. The assassin was an .assis
tant quarter-Master in the Confederate
force. His name' is Simms,' :and he
hails from Chesterfield, across the river
from Richmond. He was immediately
seized, and it is a 'greet wonder 'they
'didn't Make mince-meat of instan

Col. Kelley is an old 'fashioned Virginia
horse pistol, carrying a very Inrge•fiall

IlLtsittxoTox, Jane 6,1861
In my letter,of yesterday I referred
to the' manner in which the leaders of
the Southern conspiracy treated the
persons who fell under their suspicion
or displeasure: and you•have doubt

of the ha»ging.of an American.citizen,

Gen. Johnston, who is in Command of
the rebel troops now quartei•ed at

Williams was, that of being. a spy;
