| Additional From Harper's Ferry -- Movements
of the Confederates |
| Hagerstown, June 15 |
| The express messenger of the
Associated Press returned from Harper's Ferry this evening, where he
spent several hours. ***** It is reported at Harper's Ferry that all the
engines below Occoquan have been destroyed, also those at Martinsburg,
numbering upwards of seventy at both places. ***** |
| Re-Opening of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad |
| Point of Rocks, June 15 |
| The obstructions of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at this point have been removed, and the road,
under the vigorous supervision of the master of transportation and other
officers of the road, was re-opened to Harper's Ferry for the first time
this morning, since the occupation and obstruction of the road by the
secessionists. |
| The immense boulder, weighing
about 100 tons, thrown from the Point of Rocks upon the road by the
Confederate troops, was removed last night by blasting, and the track
now passes over its crushed fragments, which seemed to fill up the
depression in the bed of the road caused by its fall. ***** |
