From exchanges received by way of our Western and

of most importance are as follows:
affairs at harper's ferry.
The Baltimore pipers of Siturday contain the follow
ing :
Frederick, Md., June 7 —An intelligent and reliable
gentleman, just from Harper's Ferry, ieporte a comj late
state of prepara'ion for attai k, which ir eagerly ex
pected there. The indications are all agaiost any in
tended evacuation of the place- Tr >opg were constaLt
ly r rriving iu companies and iu f quads.
Fifteen hundred reached there last night apparently
from the interior of Virginia, and five companies of
about f>00 men arrived while be was there. He also no
ted the arrival of several squads of recruits. Provisions
were abundant and the men cheerful.
The strictest discipline is maintained, and my inform
ant wss only permitted to enter the town under a guard,
and to eprak to any of the soldiers in tbo presence ot
the ctficer who accompanied bim.
Pickets exu tided for some distance in the direction of
Pennsylvania. Six or eight desmers from the Federal
catr p at Chambersburg reached Harper’s Ferry yesterday
tvening, and several on the day previous. Their arrival
created much merriment, in view of the reported deser
tions from the Confederate camp, and which were pro
nounced wholly uutruc. Nothing was heard by him of
the prevalence of sickness iu the camp.

Washington, June 7th.—Five companies of the Third
United States lulautry—namely, Company B, Captain

&h'rida!>; Company K, Capt. Sykes, accompanied by a
band, numbering 20 pieces, with eleven heavily loaded
bsggage wagons, left ineir bairacks in the first ward, at
4 o’clock this afternoon, and marched to the railroad sta
tion, where they took passage (*o the men said) for Chaui
bcisburg.
ltus movement, in connection with the concentration
of troops at this point, is regarded as indicative of im
mediate desigus by the government with referocce to the
strong holds of the enemy at Harper’s F- r:y. Compai y

mill's south ol Ckanibersburg, to-day. The columu is
expected to reach here to-morrow night.
Four brigades eru beii g puvhcd lorsarJ rapidly. The
first columu will probably encamp at the Fair Grounds,

column will push on southward.
Everything looks like a decisive action within and on
the Maryland Bide of the Potomac. The Confederate
pickets snll onupy a position opposite Wi lums port.
Th>. news fiom the Ferry to-day is that the Confeder

Major Lcr'.tig, whose arrest at Wheeling by the Fede
ral troop* has been mentioned, is the slier ff of Ohio
county, Va., and a gentleman universally esteemed.
The W beclit g Intelligencer says ;
H i arrest was nude about 2 o’clock, A. M., on Wed
nesday, whi'e l.c was in hi* bed at the McLure House.
He was t*keu to the BJiimore aud Ohio depot, where

de- roved the bridges on the iiiliitnorc aud Ohio railroad
otiwt-eu tins cuy aud Gral'ton. Nothing, however, s
positively known in regard to this. M. jjr Loring had

DKTAILII) ACCOPST Or THK HUHT AT PHILIPPI
We rind iu the Wheel., g //.It / /rucer (a Republican
journal! a long account of the fight at Philippi, between
the Federal and Vir6i iia forces, tho main facts of which
we have already given. Wc tu'jvin, however, some in
teresting details, of corn sc the Intel iigcncer'i account
is by no means intended to flitter tho Virgiiiims:
Graktox, Monday Night, June 3 j.
The excitement has neen intense hero ail day about the
action at Philippi, of which you are already appriz-d by
telegraph. Kver since about 11 o'clock this morning pet
sons have been coming in from the scene of action, and
at each new arrival eager ciowds would gather around to
hear the latent version ot the fight Every one tells the
story a little different, and it is exceedingly difficult at this
time" to get an absolutely accurate account of the affair.
Mr. Lurdett came in from Philippi tbisevening, and from
Hm and oth*rs 1 have gleaned a tolerably clear stxtt
maat.
l.aterday morning, at 10 o’clock, four regiments left
here In two division*—one, consisting of the 1st Vir
ginia Regiment, part of the Ohio loth, aud the ludiaua
7'b, under command of Col. Kelly; the other, the Indi
ana '.<ib, and the Ohio lpb, commanded by Col. Lander,
of Indian lighting, wagon-road, ami Potter Rrd Pryor
duel notoriety. Colonel Kelly’s division moved Fast, bv
tailroad, to Thornton, a small way station, five miles dis
tant fiorn hen*. Thence they marched to Philippi, a dis
tance of 22 milts The Indiana regiment moved out
the N. W. Virginia Rtilroad to Webster, where they
w*re joined by the Ohio 14th, from whi"h place they
pushed forward *.n foot to Philippi, 12 mil -s fliatant.
The march of the two divisions -was performed last
night, tl.iough daiknees, laiu aud mud. U was a terrible
undertaking, but they all w*.ut bravely throngh it no
shriukingiy and without complaint. All night they toiled
through the darknts* and storm, the soil earth yielding
btneath their feet ti 1 the gray dawn found them in tho
neighborhood of the cuemy.
Col. Lander reports that as th»y reared Philippi they
were discovced iv a woman, who tired at him twice,
and who sent her little hoy across the hil1s (as he after
wards found) to apprize the enemy of their approach.—
Ue arrived on the hill across the river from aud below,
Philippi aud commanding the town and the encampment
(just tvlow the town) a little belore daylight this morn
ing. They at otce planted two pieces of aitlllery on tho
brow of the hill, just above the camp, and prepared to
open on them when the time arrived. Four o’dotk was
the hour at which the attack war to he made aimuluno
otnly by both directions. Col. Kelly was to attack then*
iu the rear aud cut otf retreat, while Col. Lander w* uld
assail them in Lout. Rut Col. Kelly's division was be
hind tho appointed hour, owing to tue terrible fatigue of
their forced march of 22 mile*; and in addition to ibis,
they tni-teed their point, and instead of coming in on
the Beverly road, above Philippi, and tffectually cutting
off all retreat, they came iD, when they did come, just
belcw the town.
Wbtn the d*y began to dawn upon th« impatient
forces of C( I Lander, it discovered to them the camp be
low in a state of commotion, evidently in great alarm,
act! pr. piling for fight. The hour appointed for the at
tack cam- and passed, but still Col. Kelley’s division had j
not at rived. Impatient to begin the attack, and frnrful
that the enemy, almost within his grasp, should escape
without smelling powdrr, Cr.l Lander ordered the i r.il
lery to begin ti e atlai k, and, at a i| tarter pas' four, the
guns were tinlimbered, and dropped the first messenger
o( terror into the enemy’s camp, lots than a quarter of a
mile away. Simultaneously with the roar of the fiist
gun, Col. Kelly, at the head of his command, came in
eight across the river below the camp, and comprehend
ing the position of affairs, they rushed forward at oneo
iu the direction of the camp. Meanwhile the battery
having, aft* r the first shot or two, got an accurate range,
played open the camp with marked effect, tearing
through tents and bouses at a fearh 1 rate. This the en
emy couldn’t stand, and they retreated ia great disorder,
in every direction that premised safety, after firing at
random and scattering volleys which di 1 no damage
whatever. Col. Kelley’s command was clfse after, the
Virginia troops in advance, the Henry Clav Guards ia
front, and ColomI Kelly and Capt. Fordyce hading.
At the same time Col. Lander’s force came rushing
down the hill to the bridge, and they all put out after
the fugitives yelling like Indians. They could not be
overtaken by our already exhausted men, who, aft.r
closing them a couple of miles, returned to the evacu
ated camp, to learn the painful fact that their victory,
though complete, was dearly, too death, bought. Co!
Kelly, who, with a bravery amounting to rashness, was
foremost from first to lest, was rallying his men in the
upper part of the town, tbs enemy having all apparently
tied, when he fell by a shot from a foe concealed either
beh:nd a fence cr iu a house; some say the a°sailan( fired
from bebiud a wagot; others that Col. Kelly was pressing
'him hard with a view of capturing him when he wheeled
and fired. This is not substantiated. At any rate, the
shot was fired after the engagement was over. The as
sas.-in was an assistant quartermaster in the Confederate
force. H s name is Simms, and he hails from Chester
field, across the river from Richmond. He was imm< di
a'.ely soil’d, and it is a great wonder they did not make
mince-meat of him instanter. The pistol with which he
shot Col. Kdly is an old fashioned, old Virginia hcr-c
pistol, carrying a very large ball and inflicting a most
dangerous wuund. The ball entered the left breast, and
passing ch ar through, lodged benea'h the skin, just ur
dirneath the shoulder blade. It has been extracted,
and every attention of the highest m-dical and surgical
skill is lavished upon the wonnded officer.
In the gray, uncertain ltgbt of the morning, it was iu>
po-sible to tell anything about the loss of the enemy, as
tney carried away in tkeir tight whatever k.lied and
wounded they may have had It is very cer tain that
somebody waa hurt, and right badly, too. A leg, which
li.ul been torn off by a cannon bull, wag picked up io
I be camp. There was a great deal of blood upon ihe
ground, and along the road in the direction of the flight,
on the fences, and ou everything in the way of the in
discriminate retreat. Hats, blankets, clouks and every
imaginable description of luggage, were scattered along
the rnad lor more than a mile. 1 saw one of the sects
siou hats, with a veritable cockade, which a chap was
wearing around town to-day with a great deal of gusto.
The hat and epaulets of Ctlonel Porterfield, the se
cession commander, were picked up in the road
I li.-y left behind some forty hoises, all their provisions,
ihe r baggage, and camp equipage, aud a good many
handsome uniforms, together with souio -14b stand of
arms— at I of which fell into the hands of the victors
Several prisoners were taken besides Simms, among
them D. M Auvil, prosecuting attorney, aud Col. Wil
ley. Captain Robinson, of the Logan Hoards, bad the
liouor of making the capture. Colon. 1 Willey’s coin
mi .ion from ihe Conf. derate authorities, with aome in
teresting correspondence, was found upon his person.
Seven I bats, apparently belonging to officers, were
picked up, and a burse and buggy, belongii g to B. F.

from Fannin county also captured several wagons —
Emory, fiudirg the Texans in close pursuit of him, threw
away gun*, ammunition and Government stores into t! •
Ouachita river, ti'st destroying the guns bv breaking lu -
be!:* and taking them to piece*. Tne enemy left at 1 ort
Ouachita a large quantity of clothing, seme proven ns
and one field-piece. At Fort Arbuekle, also, they absn
doued various Government et< re* and supplies, moot of
which were stolen and carried away by the Indians before
the Texans got there.
After taking possession of Fort Arbuekle, it was gar
risoned by a coropaoy of Choctaw and Chi* k i»aw Indian .

The almost painful suspense and anxiety into wbnh
this community was tbiowu, on Monday afternoon, upon
the arrival of the train from Norfolk, which brought nu
merous rumors of lighting hiving taken place in the vi
cinity of Newport News, on James River, was most agree
ably relieved yeaterday forecoxn by passengers who
came tip from York and Elizabeth City counties, on the
James River steamer Curtis Peck. These gentlemen
bring the percioulars of a warm contest, in which the
Yankee troops engaged our force? tor some three and a
half hours.
Several gentlemen traveled on the Curtis Peck for a
distance of sixty miles with Private Causey, of Elizabeth
City County, who was engaged in the coi.tbc. and rrlated
all the particulars. One ot bis auditors war Mr. E W.
Uudgi.is, a moat intelligent and prosperous farmer of
York county, who Irf. his larm yesterday morning fir
the residence of bis father in-law, Dr. Worsham, in Dm
widdie county. Mr. Hudgins gives us particulars, which
we believe are in tbs main leliable, but they may be
slightly varied by the ultima! account.
It appears that, ou Friday las'. Genera! J. Bankhead
Magruder, of the Confederate army, who has b. e i at his
headquarters at Yorktown for some tim* past, received
further iufotmaiiou of the continued depredations of the
Yankee hir. hugs, who, under Gen. B. F. Batlsr, have
rquatted at Hampton snd Newport News He reeotved
to proceed immediately in the airectiou of the localities
occupied by the mercenaries, and check the lawless pro
ceedings of their marauding parties, or at lea^t continu
them to more <i cuznscribed limits.
Our forces detailed for this mission, we are informed,
consisted of some six or more companies of the First
North Carolina regiment, Col. D. H. Hill, a portion of
the Richmond Howi'xert, under Cap am -, ar.d
two comoanies of cavalry—one from the county ol
Chat Us City, and the other from Nottoway county. The
column moved ou as far as a point near the dividing I no
between Elizabeth City and fork counties, and lu the
inimmediate vicinity ol the Bethel Church. This is dis
tant about six miles from Nt-wpt rt News, and uiue from
Hampton. Our troeps wtre hete halted, and proceeded
to tntrench themselves by throwing u.> slight catth
woiks. Tht _v reached that pomt some time during S»t
nrdav morning, and remained in undisturbed possession
i>t it, having sent out strong detachments of cavalry on
mooting duiy.
Monday morning, about seven o’clock, as was stated
to our informant, a mm, who it is siid b&d deserted
From our army and had conceal.d himself somewhere in
the forest between Bethel Church and Newport News,
ame into camp, regretting his recreancy, and informing
our officers that the Yankee forces had struck their tents
it .Newport News, and were advancing in a column of
lour or live thousand strong.
This iutell gecce was received by our officers with
iome doubt, but they resolved to be on the alert, and
jive the infamous despoilers of cur property and in
vaders of our soil, as hot a reception as rifle, musket
md grape shot could extend.
The deserter’s information proved to bo correct, for a
Few minutes before H o'clock our scours were driven in,
md s.icrdy alter cur pickets were tired upon, i'resen'ly
.lie invading hir< l.ngs made their appearance, and it w..s
plainly to be seen that they bad born infantry and seal
ery, but no cavalry were visible. As soon as they ap
ji cached within range of our i.uns, the gallant Caiohn
ana and Virginians opened upon them, and poured uuo
heir ranks a galling fire They stood their ground tor
t few miuutsp, doing the lies they could, but tl sir guns
ill went wide of their aim, scarcely a shot touching o>.r
troops.
It raav he prop *r here to rema-k, that our troops had
the .J.cid >i advantage ot position, bring ia a ibin skin
afforest, tmideiiiiij on the edge of a null pond The
Va- kec: were al-o surrounded by trees, but more wei -

Tne fi'iag was continued on both sides until t* o’clock,

They were hotly purst cd by the gallant F.rst llegimrnt

tearing New York rowdies. »*ur cavalry continued the
•h i»e, and pursued the miserably frightened demons ou
.he Sawyer Swaxp road, and through the woods, to New
Market Bridge, which is wi hiu two and a halt miles of
Hampton. Not k-owmg the strength ot the<r ft roes at
Hampton, the chase was here abandoned and the pursuer*
•eturned.
It is said that ti e cowardly scampi before runuing,
pilckly divested themselves of knaps icks, cauteeus, hav
;macks, sidearins and muskets, and some even threw
iway their co its and c*p»,determining like drowning men,
.hat nothing should encumber their pereous i r impede
their progress in the race for life which lay before them.
We have been unable to ascertain the exact numb* r
of killed, but no oue with whom we have conversed es
timate it at less (ban 150, while many think it must
have reached d‘K>. There were also a great many wound
ed. One gentleman counted over twenty dead bodies,
end many wounded in a small patch of woods, and, to
ilka sheep, in every direction to which the eye w?s turn
ed. Many of the wounded were leit on the fieid by tfie
enemy, and were brought into camp, where cur soldii rs
humanely ministered to their wants. The enemy wag busy
nil the time etrryiug off their dead and wounded, from
the outskirts oi' their ranks, and we shall bavo to await
t! cir accounts before the precise number can be ascer
tained.
The morass, where the fire was constant and deadly
from the guns of the Confederate force?, bail not bee .
penetrated when our informant Uft. Seme* of them fe 1
there, and when they are brought out it wili swell the
list oi killed and wounded, it is thought, to a fi.gutitu
extent.
An instance of bravery is related is having been ex
hibited by the famous Col. Ucotge Du-yca, which should
r-ot pass unnoticed. Luckily escepii g the mora dargtf*
ous portiocs of the morass, he ascended a h II just as nia
meu were escaping from their p* r lous position, and re
treating with all the haste with which their cowardly legs
could carry them. boi. D., taunted them for their cow
aidice, and, leaping upon a teoce, raised his sword aloft,
and entreated the llyiug dastards to xall/ around the
stars and stripes. His appeals, however, were fruitiest;
the “stars and stripes” had lost their talismanic influence,
a id the Yankees knew it would not protect them from
Minnie bills and graos shot. Col. Duryea still maintau -
e 1 his poai.ion on the feres, and while in the act of
• aising his sword aloft, was iired at by a North Care
linUn, who remarked with anger, “I will fix you ” Toe

and in a twir kling Coh Duryea fell pierced through tbo

reddening his sa9h with a blighter hue.
Upon his body, we are iulurmed was found an elegant

few year* ago, when they visited Virginia aa au escort
lor tho reniaius of President Momoc.
AVe are nliably iufoimrd that but ore man of 'ho
Confederate forcr.s is thought to be mortally worn ded.
He is a North Carolinian, b it we have been Unable to
learn hi* name. He received a bullet In his forehead,
producing a frightful wound, at d, although alive yester
day morning, it was thought t! at be could not po-e.biy
I wig survive. Seveo or eight others were wounded, but
their it juries are not considered fatal.
Such remarkable exemption from fatality, where tbo
danger and peril were so imraine.it. appears really in
credible. It can be attributed to nothing else but a di
rect interposition of Him who rule* over the earth, and
who hsa promised to sbiild and protect from danger,
with His own Almighty Am, all who rely upon Him for
succor in every time of need.
We are pleased to add that the North Carolinians, aa
also the Virginians, who shared the dingers with tin in,
d.meaned them-elvce with great cooiocss, and displayed
a courage amounting to heroism throughout the wholes
engagement. A I hail to the brave sons of tbs Old North
State! whom Providence seems to have thrust foiward
in the first pitched battle on Virginia soil In behalf of
Southern rights and independence.
Our ttoops fell back, we hear, after the fight, to the
main body of the army at Yoiktowo, not knowing in
what numbets the Yankees were entrenched in and
around Hampton and Fortress Monroe. They will doubt
Use march it mediately towaid Newport News, if they
have not abeady dono so.
We ceem it but proper to add, in conclusion, that all
accounts, save one. estimate the number of Yankees en
gaged at 6,€00. If the reports which have reached us
itoni Northern sou-o-s regarding the number eucamped
at Newport News be correct, we think 5,OoO, or even
more, are ptobably the correct figures, but we bate
adopted ihe lowest number—I.OUO—that wo uuv cei
U nly be within bounds.
