M. BULLOCK, 0. K. D. * /v. ' * L Y, SEPTEMBER 26, 18< Prom oar Army In OKarylnnd?the Battle of IharjMbarf and Ml at Harper's Ferry. The Richmond papers bring us some further and interesting accounts of the recent brilliant operations of our army on the Upper Potomac and in Maryland. The following is a brief resume of the various accounts of these important movements, concerning which the telegraphic hews hitherto received has been so vague and unsatisfactory. Our army in Mary land is divided into three corps, commanded ' by Generals Jackson, Longstrect and D. H. Hill. Of these corps Jackson's was engaged in the siege of Harper's Ferry, and the other two covered his operations. Conceiving it to bo ot great importance to raise the siege and to relieve the beleaguered forces, which amounted in numbers almost to a corps cTarmee, McClellau resolved to make a powerful effort. He left Washington, it is said, with a force of 80,000 men. FrOtu the correspondents of the | Yankee papers we beard of him at Rockvillo and other places oa the National road, some time last week, from which we conclude that his army marched upon that road in the direction of Frederick. Whether he passed through Frederick we know not; but the first we hear of him is at Sharpsburg, some twenty miles wost of Frederick, and about ten miles northwest of Harper's Ferry. At this place, on Sunday, lie fell with his whole enormous force (80,000 men) upon the corps of Gen. D. H. Hill, which was the rear guard of the army. The battle was long, furious and bloody; bnt Gen. Hill, although attacked by vastly superior forces, stood his ground without yielding an i inch. In the night Gen. Longstreet's corps arrived, and on Monday the two combined attacked McClellan and defeated him, driving t-i_ * i- .1 / ? r> ?i t? . . ins iurccs ocioro uiera ior nvc miics. uut ior the intervention of night, it is said the route would have been complete. At ten o'clock, whilo the battle was still raging at Boonesboro^> General Miles, with his whole army, variously estimated at eight, ten, and twelve thousand men, surrendered to Gen. Jackson. Vast quantities of stores, 12,000 small arms, fifty pieces of artillery, and at least 0110 thousand negros (some say 2,500) wore captured. Having disposed of Miles and his army, Gen. Jackson was marching rapidly down the Potomac, with the intention of crossing below and getting 1 in the rear of McClellan, thus cutting him off effectually from Washington. It should be mentioned that several days previous to the battle at Sharpsburg, a despatch from McClellan to Col. Miles, commanding at Harper's Ferry, urging him to hold the position, promising reinforcements, was intercepted by Gen. Lee, who, accordingly, posted Gen. D. HHill's Division near Boonsboro' to check the reinforcing column, and made such disposition of the remaining forces as would ensnre the discomfiture of the Yankee hosts. THE SURRENDER OF HARPER 8 FERRY?FURTHER PARTICULARS. From a participant in tho engagement, the Richmond Dispatch obtains the following particulars, with reference to the investment and subsequent surrender of Harper's Ferry. Gen. Jackson left Frederick on Thursday, taking the*fiagcrstown road, and at tho same time the divisions of Gens. McClaws and R. H. Anderson moved from the vicinity of Frederick for the Maryland Heights, overlooking the town of Harper's Ferry. On Wednesday the division of Gen. Walker was sent down to destroy the canal aqueduct at the mouth of the Monocracy, and arrived at the point during that night. The next morning, early, before they bad accomplished their purpose, an order was received from Gen. Leo, directing General Walker to proceed with bis forces, by forced marches, to the Loudonn Heights, via Point of Rocks, to prevent the enemy at Harper's Ferry from escaping in that direction. The division crossed tho river at Point of Rocks, nine mile, below HnrpnA F?nry, ?d Ob Jfoiday evening reached tho position assigned them. Gen. Jackson's force reached Williams" / ".'TOMR*? ;-asa^*r?wflyi|M| ? i l|W w. ? i* &%I^Jk .tJa.^ jstf, - * 1 iMtaeMee ?** .^iHf -i .vy* j.... port, on the Potomac, on Friday morning, and immediately created and moved on Marttaaborg, twenty milea above Harper*a Ferry, where there were some three or four thonaand of' the enemy V forcea. On the approach of General Jackaon this fofte fell back and united with the force at Harper 8 Ferry, believed to number about five thousand. Gen. Jackhou pursued, and on Saturday reached Balltown,. four miles southwest of Harpers Ferry. Prom this point he dispatched a courier U Gen. WalkeV," then in possession of the Heights sonth Mithe town, directing hiui not to open his guns upon the enemy's fortifications until he (Gen. J.) got in position, of which he promise# to notify Gen. Walker. Meanwhile the' divisions of Gens. McClaws and Anderson, after bat little resiotence, had become masters of the Heights An fliA Marolaml airla ilin anamv la^VlflfY fllAITI and joining the foeccs in tbeir entrenchments on the Virginia side of the river. On Saturday night Gen. Walker received orders from * Gen. J. to open fire upon the enemy at daylight on Sunday morning. In obedience to this order, at dav-dawn the stillness of the Sabbath was broken by the openiqg of Walker's guns upon the fortifications of the enemy on Bolivar Heights, two miles above the railroad' bridge at Harper's Ferry. At the same time the attack was'made by the forces under GemJackson, and the fight, which was desperate and determined, continued throughout the day ?MsClaws and Anderson shelling from the Maryland side. The enemy resisted with great spirit, and their guns, of which they had a large number in position, were handled with great effect upon the column of Qen. Jackson,which had to approach them through an open space, where their guns had unobstructed play. The shells from Walker's batteries and the impetuous attacks of Jackson's men rendered their entrenchments on Bolivar Heights two warm for the enemy, and late in the evening they fell back to Camp Hill, otie* mile in thd rear of the Bolivar fortifications. Here they had heavy guns planted and strong eutrenchinnntB thrAwn nn hut within amt rmncrn of ih? batteries of McClaws and Anderson, on the opposite Heights. Night coming on, tho struggle ceased, Jackson's forces occupying the deserted entrenchments on the Hills of Bolivar. That night old "Stonewall" sent a message to Gen. Walker that his forces were in poaaossion of the enemy's first line of entrenchments, and that with God's blessing, he would have Harper's Ferry and the Federal forces early tho next morning. At daylight the next morning (Monday) the fight was renewed, the enemy still offering an obstinate resistance, until about 7 o'clock, a. m^ when their colors were struck and at capitulation proposed. Of the terms of this capitulation we have learned no particulars, but conclude they involved the unconditional surrender of the whole force, negros as well as Yankees. About 9 o'clock out forces entered the second line of entrenchments?the enemy hav-f ing surrendered everything?guns, ordnance and commissary stores &c. The number of the enemy is variously estimated at from seven to twelve thousand, and the negros from fifteen hundred to two thousand. The quantity of ammunition captured is immense, amounting to several hundred wagon loads. The ImoendlM Fate ef BaKMiers. The American n very serious about the fete of Baltimore. It saYs the Confederates will certainly hare it, if it is only for twenty-four hours, so as to possess themselves of the provisions there. It begs the inhabitants to be peaceful, and not provoke the Federal Government to destroy the city. It concludes thus: The government would newer permit a moment's peaceable possession by the rebels of a city so completely essential to every hope of maintaining its integrity.
