The Evacuation of Harper's Ferry. Perhaps thoro is no movement of thc South ern troops, sinco tho commencement of thc present campaign in Virginia, that has elicit ed moro discussion than tho evacuation of Ilnrpor's Ferry by Cou. Johnson. Tho following cditoriul from tho ltichtuond Enquirer of Monday, ovidontly written with n knowlcdgo of tho facts, from authoritative sources gives, wo think, highly satisfactory reasons for what appeared to be a rotrogndo movement ou tho part of our forces: f* Wo aro now nt liberty, on tho best au thority, to make publio thc true motives actu ating General Johnson in what thc Northern and some Qf thc Southern papers have called tho * Evacuation of Harper's Ferry.' Tho general, like other military tucu of education, had long known that Harper's Ferry, in it Bclf, is faulty and untcuablo, from thc facili ty with which it cnn bo turned. It lies ns it wcro in tho small ond of a * funnel,' tho broader cud of whioh could with great caso bo occupied by tho enemy. Tho heads direc ting tho operations of tho Yankee forces were well"aware of this fact, but forgot that thoro were fully ns astute hoads on our sido. The minute and ablo investigations of Mtijor Whi ting, chief ongiueer to General Johnson, had satisfied our leaders of tho justness of these '.iows. It was well known that General Scott's platt was to turu Harper's Ferry by a column from Pennsylvania, under Gen. Pat terson, offoot a junction near Winchester or Strasburg with nnothor column of McClellan's army passing through Kontney, and cut off Beauregard's and Johnson's artnios'froni each other. This plan was completely foiled, and tho enemy checkmated.nt their own game, as wo shall explain. "On or about Thursday, thc lGth inst., General Johnson, having waited at Harper's Ferry long enough to make'the enemy believe that he intended to contest thnt position to tho last,-nnJ learning that they were advan cing on Williamsport and Romney, sont a portion of his force to Winchester by rail. On Friday ho continued his movement, sont baok his tent equipage nnd other heavy bag 'goge, his sick, &c, set fire to and burned the railroad bridge, and such of thc public build ings ns could bo burned without endangering private property, spiked such of tho heavy guns at Harper's Ferry as could not bc remo ved, and on Saturday moved, with his whole army, marching on foot, in thc direction of Winchester, encamping about thrco nnd a quarter miles southwest of Charlestown. The enemy, taking this movement, as it was intended they should take it, as a retreat, .crossed a brigade of their advance division, .commanded by Gen. Cndwalladcr, (who join ed their forces on Saturday or Sunday morn ing,) whioh was moved forward towards Mar tinaburg. Ou Sunday morning, however, General Johnson changed his lino of march at right angels, and moved square toward Martins burg, encamping at Hunker Hill, on tho Win chester and Martinsburg turnpike, twelve miles from Martinsburg, to offer battle there, or advance and attack if necessary. . This movemont placed tho enemy in a "predica ment." Ho had not crossed his whole force, and if thc opposing forces had closed he must h?vo bcon beaton in detail. Ho therefore " acknowledged tho corn," turned tail and re treated,'recrossed tho river and evacuated tho valley, retiring beyond lingers town. A lieu tenant colonel and it'.other (members of thc 8th Pennsylvania Volunteers) wcro taken prisoners during tho retreat. A day or two after this, Col. Hill, 13th Vir ginia regiment, in command of a part pf thc forces who had " retreated " from Harper's Ferry, and who had boon pushed forward to wards Romney, as our readers have learned from our Saturday's edition, sent forward to . wards New Creek, on thc Potomac river, eighteen miles west of Cumberland, four com panies of Tennessee and Virginia troops, un dor Col. Vaughan, of Tennessee, who found tho Yankees posted on the Maryland side of tho Potomac. Our bravo fellows, in thc faco of tho cnomy, forded tho stream, waste deep, drove thom off in thc utmost confusion, cap tured two. pieces of loaded artillery and a stand of colors, destroyed thc railroad bridge nt that point, nnd returned to Romney, ma king a maroh of thirty-six miles and gaining 4V brilliant victory within twenty hours. Our renders will thus soo what Gen. John son's " retreat from Harper's Ferry " has done. It has thoroughly .broken up Gen. Scott's paper programme, destroyed his wholo western combination, and compelled him to ? rotnodol his whole plan. If our " retreats " do thus much, wc wait with, confidence to soe what our advances will do. In tho mean time, we beg loavo to rocall to our renders' re collection tho old motto of this paper, " Nous verrons."

From tho deoisiom thore is no ap peal excopt to arm?; and thore itf^evory.roTi son to fear that when this war is ondea thc people of tho South will not havo tho powor, if they hud cvor ?0 much tho will, to pay th.etrdobts.

How the assets of tho banks will st?nd after these fuilurcs is a problem which is engaging much at tention. "Tho politioal and military orisis is with out precedent in our history. Neither tho war of 1847 nor that of 1812 bears any com parison with tho civil war in which wo aro now embarkod. Neither of tho two wcro necessarily fatal to our internal buhu try and commerce. Neither dislocuted tho joints of trade, as tho present war is doing. Neither i of thom placed tho very existence of tho re public iu jeopardy. Thc principal comuicr-, citd characteristics of tho war which has now begun aro a total destruction of tho cnor- ? mous trade between tho North, and tho South ; ti repudiation by tho South of a largo sum of monoy, variously ostiniated at froin sixty to ' two hundred millions of dollars, duo to thc ? North j tho compulsory failure of tho bulk of thc great jobbing und importing houses, | to whoso enterprise and wealth tho growth and prosperity of New York have been main ly duo ; tho probablo suspensiou of thc bulk of the Northern banks, in consequence of tho worthlessness of their assets, a reduction of from tifty to seventy per cent, in our foroign trade, in consequence of tho stoppage of ox {>orts of cotton, rico and tobacco on the ono laud, and a general diminution of consump tion o:i thc other ; tho destruction of the cr?ait of States which hnvo nearly two hun dred millions of bonds afloat ; the withdraw al of nearly a million of mon from productivo agricultural, industrial or mercantile pursuits, and their employment in tho vtnproduetiv i oc cupation of warfare j and the creation, for the first tinto in our history, of State and j Federal debts bearing some proportion to tho j debts of thc European monarchies. These . aro tho obvious mid certain features of thc War. In addition to these, other and equally ? gravo commercial complications will arise, should tho war at the South lead to a general ) stampede of negroes, and so imperil thc fu- J turo agriculture of that section ; or should | Great Britain persevero in a policy of secret j sympathy with thc South, and compel the United States to declare war upon her. " This condition of things is so entirely new that it is impossible to foresee its effects upon our commercial and financial interests. Wo may be sure that these effects will bo se verely disastrous ; but to wdiat extent thc dis aster may spread, or what interests will sur vivo amid thc general ruin, it is impossible to discern. There arc reasons for believing that one of tho most marked changes which arc impending will be a sudden turn in the money market. With the exception of a brief period of panic late last autumn, we havo had an easy money market hore ever since the crisis of 1857. This year especial ly thc ordinary laws of money seem to hove been reversed. We have imported gold from Europe instead of exporting it, and money has bcuii cheaper in New York than in Lon don. This an jinaly was caused by tho mod eration of our imports, and our unusually large exports of cotton, breadstuff's, provi sions, etc. If, in December hist, exchange had ruled os it generally does, our banks would all have suspended before New Year. Wc me uow exporting no cotton, and from present appearances shall export none until the United States anny restores thc power of the government in thc Gulf States-which cannot bc before January next, ut earliest. Thc exports of tobacco, rice, turpentine, na val stores, cve., hove ceased in iike manner. Is it not reasonable to expect that the stop page of exports must before long begin to tell upon the exchange market, und revive shipments of specie to Europe? Gan we ex pect to go through J illy and August without parting with some of our gold ? And when the druin does begin, how can it be cheeked ? The great staples which havo heretofore paid our debts in Europe aro out of our reach. Wo have nothing left to pay with except gold and food. Will our banks bc able to stand such a drain as we suffered in 1855, 1857, 1859 and 18G0, without suspending specie payments ? It is right that thoso among us wdio have interests nt stake should look thc situation square in tho face, and dismiss all delusions as to tho consequences of thc con test in which we aro embarked." FROM FORTRESS MONUOE. - Thc Balti more' Exchange, of Wednesday, says : Tho steamer Georgiana arrived from For tress Monroe yesterday morning, but did not bring any news of importance. General Pierce, ns yet, has not mude ah official return to General Butler of tho number of killed and wounded in tho affair tit Bethel. The amiable relations hitherto reported ns exist ing between thc regulars mid volunteers, nie rather on thc increase. Thc troops, almost to a mah, swear they will not follow the lead of their Generals. As on all thc recent arri vals from thc Fortress, there conies a report that Gen. Butler would undoubtedly ntt-ick and capture Great Bethel to day. Some four or five of the celebrated Naval Brigade, came up on the steamer cn coule for New York. Thc}'give fluttering accounts bf tho condition of affairs in and around thc Fortress. They assort that it is a very ordinary affair for tho soldiers to go without food for twenty-four hours; and, judging from the appearance of tho complainants and tho manner in which they partook of the food offered them, fully thnt length of time lind expired since they broko brend. On board, on their way home, were a number of Zouaves, sotno of whom participated in tho battlo of Bethel. They express themselves satisfied with thc occur rence of that dav, and go home with their appetites for glorious war sutiutcd.

EXECUTIVE.-The Governor's Head Quar ters uro temporarily ut Edgewood, his resi dence in this immediate vicinity. Of course ho holds himself in readiness to go nt n mo ment's warning to nny part of tho Stntc where hisservicos may bo ut all necessary. But until such necessity arises we presume bc will remain at his home, nt least for the greater portion of his tinto. Communications will renell him readily mailed to this point ; and should unusual expedition be desired, dispatches via tho Telegraph < Hlice ut Au gusta will bc promptly 'forwarded. Wo learn informally from his Excellency, that applications for arms have crowded tho department beyond its abilities to moot, lt is hoped that parties thus applying will re member that the governor has not recourse to nu overflowing armory, but rather to one that has already been well nigh exhausted by thc demands of tho war. Not only have arms been supplied to thc troops of our own State, but tho necessities of tho crisis have required that, large help be afforded in this respect to thc States of North Carolina, Ten nessee and Florida,-which luis boon done. Thc Governor is still doing all bc can to meet the applications that press upon him, nnd has recently furnished the Hampton Legion with a park of artillery, besides five hundred new ly-rifled guns,-thc best bc could do without depriving certain efficient troops for home service, to which ho would not consent. Such in fact is tho present difficulty in this business, that the Executive has boen com pelled with much regret to declaro to Col. Orr bis inability to (supply bis legion with any anns.

Many Americans-it is hard to divino why they venture such an assertion-say that thc Southern envoy and his friends aro very san guine ns to the ultimate success of his mission. Mr. Host is accompanied by several other gen tlemen, some of whom set out immediately for St. Petersburg, Prussia and Austria; and others try and engage on their side the sym pathies of tho manufacturers of France.

VA The following communication to tho citi zens of Missifesip"5 by Judge Harris, is worthy of being taken up and noted upon by cvory Stato in tho Confedornoy. Wo suggost it to our own citizens : A pj?AN TO AHM TUP: UNARMED COMPANIES WITH TDK COMMON RI FLU AND DOUM.E IIARRKI.ED (JUNH. in Canvassing several counties for tho new government louu 1 found that there wcro rifles and doublo barreled guns enough io each county to arm a company and still, leavo urius enough to furnish cvory household, lt is confidently believed that ovoiy organized coin j puny can bo armed, with those weapons, and out of them we cnn form at least four addi tional regiments as tin auxiliary force. It is ' idle to listen longer to thc objections of rogu- j lar officers. Thc musket may bc bettor, very much better, but the common guns with which our people kill deer, and turkeys, will kill mon-will do where ibero is nothing better. ? The army officer will say to you that thc guns . being of every size and calibro, th oro must bo an endless variety of cartridge-and tho prep aration of ammunition and thc distribution of it would involve great trouble, &c, &c. The answer to ?ll this is, that wc must have guns of some kind, and no other kinds aro now no- ? cessible. The trouble must therefore be cn- j countered, and ns it may take much time to j arrange the guns and ammunition, let us com- j menee now. To determined men, these obstacles will yiold. But let us sec if wo cannot diminish them. If wo had nil tho guns collected to gether in one place it would bc found that out of tinco ir four thousand there would bo OOO or 1000 so nearly equal in size that they might be put in a class by themselves, and ono cartridge would serve this class-and so wo may go through tho whole collection ?nd put them into classes. It would be found that we could arm regiments with rifles of two or three classes, and regiments with double barreled guns of two or three classes. We may safely say that the number of classes would not exceed a half n dozen. If balls arc to bc used it is no insurmountable difficulty to have moulds made for each class-and this being done, thc making of the cai (ridge ceases to bo formidable. The cartridges could be numbered to correspond with thc guns for which they nie intended, nnd thc distribution would then be easy. How shall we get thc guns collected ? Let a place bc appointed in each county for those who have tho surplus guns to deposit thom points on the Railroad in counties through which the Railroads pass-and in other coun ties the most convenient for transportation. Inspection und classification could thou bo mude, thc preparation of nmmunition could begin-and while this is being done such of tho guns ns might need repairs could be sent to the shops for rt pair. It will not do to wait for offieinl liinchincry to accomplish this work, wc must act ourselves and act at once. Euch county should nt once nefen the suggestion. Let the first man who reads this take measures to notify his fellow citizens ; hilve the pince designated for the guns to be deposited. The State will bc answerable for the value of these guns, ?nd each man who deposits n gun should attach his name to it and keep a description of it. Tho important point in the scheine is to set it in motion ut once. When the place is designated every one should set to work to get thc guns there ; so that by tho 1st July we can have all the available guns ready for inspection. Concentration will be easy, and the unarmed companies will soon bo ready to take the field on ii day's notice. 1 nm compelled to say that the indications show t li nt the r?giments will be needed as soon us they can be equipped, ?nd the loss of u week or u day in such 0 matter niny bc disastrous. Let no ninn wait for his neighbor, but take up the matter and proceed with it at once. An inspector will bo sent out ns soon as thc guns arc collected. I hope that no one will think thc loss of this suggestion because it is unofficial. 1 have been urged to make it in this form by many persons. W. 1*. HARRIS. Jackson, Juue 19, 1801.

HY-AND-HY.-Somewhere, down thcstcnni of Time on which wc ure floating, is ttJ?CaUr tiful island, called tho Hy-nnd-hy. It may bc* just before us beyond tho next turn of tho rner ; or wo may not find it until the Stream, disembogues itself into tho ocenii of eternity. Hut wc all look lor.it, from infancy to old ngo,. und dream that nil evil will be banished when we nrt'ivo nt thc beautiful island-By-nnd-by. All day ns we float down thc turbulent, streuin the blue color of heaven bums above us) thc unfathomable depths yawn beneath us; thc mysteries of God nnd immortality stream upon us with their awful .splendors, und truths thnt have confounded the loftiest intellects-truths thnt in ullages have roused' up thc soul from its foundations, baptized it with reverence, and kindled it with love environ us with their intensity, and jill thoughts of tho island uro banished from tho mina. Rut when the solemn gray pf twi light falls around our bark, in taney wo seo its magical shores, green with trees of beauty, flitting before us like a star over the broad shadows of years, and our longings nil return to wander on its fairy banks ?md liston to tho silver voices of its inhabitants. And as tho rosy flush of day fades ill tho west, and tho Watch stars open ono after another their holy eyes, wo go to rest in tho happy belief that the morning sunrise will gild this i tn mortui land, full in our vision ; this clime wc have j sought solong and vainly, and whither lin Vd' fled all the lost summers of our youth, which, we besought with tears to stay. A land of promise is that By-nnd-by. In* it wc nil have rioh possessions, the anticipated, enjoyment of which alone renders lite tolera ble. The past has proven a weary way, the* present is full of thorns nnd beset with dan gers, but in thc golden Ry-nnd by there is a " recompense for all. There thc broken heart shall be healed, and the weary spirit find a. rest. Who would sell his birthright in this land ? Though poverty, gloom and desola tion environ us here, we have both wenlth nnd health nnd loving friends in that clime. How eagerly we look for that island ! if it were laid down on any chart, no matter how distant, so that we knew ii would surely come, we should be satisfied in the prospect. Rut no Ariadne comes to reveal its labyrinthine secrets, and we must rest content in its antic ipation, nud possess it only in dreunis.
