Harper's Ferry, October 19th, 1859–11.15 P. M.
To W. P. Smith.
A messenger came to town about 9 o'clock, bringing the information that a lot of the lawless band was in Maryland, and murdering the citizens. There has been no further trouble here. Cannot say how long we will have peace.
JOHN DONOHOO.
