Baltimore, May 25 |
The Western train has arrived
in, and from the passengers we learn that the reports of hostilities at
Harper's Ferry are totally unfounded. A number of coal trains were
detained with the hands belonging to them; but the Virginia authorities
gave, as the reason for detaining the coal, that it was for the use of
the Government. Assurances have been sent to them by the Railroad
authorities that such was not the fact and it is supposed the trains
will soon be permitted to run as usual. |
