   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.
