Harper's Ferry, Nov. 20th.
Wm. P. Smith, Master Transportation,
Camden Station.
The train with Gov. Wise and troops has arrived this 4.25 P. M.; and left for Charlestown, this 5 P. M. The Governor must be in possession of information—we have not—to justify him in sending so large a number of troops here. All is quiet about here, and I have not the least apprehension of trouble now; I shall keep a lookout, and report matters of interest. Two hundred of the troops are detached for this place.
A. P. SHUTT.
