HAHPER'S FEnnv , W. Va. , August
10. Harper's Ferry mid its environ
ments linvo been so often described
and its historical Associations so fro
nuently narrated that it would bo
diftlcult to s.iy nny novel in reference
to it. Very early in the century llio
beauty and picturcsquencss of its
river nnd mountain scenery wcro
grapHcally depicted by Thomas Jef
ferson , nnd since then Iho John
Brown mid nnd Stonewall Jackson's
exploits linve.nddcd historical and ro
mantic interest to the bright , Hashing
rivers which join each other at the
edge of the town nnd to the huge cliffs
which overhang it. Harper's Ferry
is surrounded with battle-fields ; within
n radius of less than twciity-fivo miles
during the "Into unpleasantness" no
less than ton hnrd > fought battles took
place. For four years the sound of
artillery was nearly as familiar to the
cars of its inhabitants as the crowing
of the ccck in a country barnyard.
It heard the thunders of artillery at
South Mountain , Antintain , Monoca-
cy nnd Oncquon , A sad , melancholy ,
deserted-looking place it is now. Liku
Yorktown , the cruel wounds of war
liavo never been healed , and its only
glories are in its ruins and its memo
ries.
Harper's Ferry is now in West Vir
ginia , being in Jcfluratm , the extreme
eastern county of that rugged now
state. For years it was a source of
discontent to the neighboring gentry
that they wore , without their own
consent , cut off from their old mother
state , but many events of late years
have made them entirely reconciled to
their fate.
Quito nn interest , however , is still
maintained hero in the politics of Old
Virginia. Coming along from Balti
more the merits of Cameron nnd
Daniel wcro warmly discussed , nnd I
had some conversation with nn intel
ligent supporter of the former whoso
statements somewhat surprise me. I
will write further on this ns soon as I
can visit Harrisburg.
THE STORY OP A PAUINO SCOUT.
Some years ago , whilst waiting for
the' eastward bound train at Hiupor's
Ferry , I had n most interesting inter
view with one of the scouts that pene
trated the federal lines hero just be
fore the capture of the place by Stone
wall Jackson. Ai well as I remember ,
his name wns Tabb a tall , lithe ,
keen-eyed Virginian , with n strong ,
aggressive-looking chin , yet soft-toned
nnd low-voiced. Ho told mo of his
adventures , the eventful night when
lie was sent in , really as a spy instead
of acting in his legitimate business as
n scout. His directions wcro to get
into Harper's Ferry ( wJioro ho wns
slightly acquainted with one or two
Southern sympathizera ) nnd ascertain
as near as possible the number and
position of the garrison , and also par
ticularly to hnd out about their mor
ale. Howasdrossodin Federal uniform ,
with high cavalry boots , which ho had
recently captured.
Passing by two or three narrow
escapes from cavalry vidottos , in our
narrative I will endeavor to give as
nearly as possible his account of his
adventures in Finally getting within
the Federal lines. Ho wns endeavor
ing to' enter the town from the west. '
From about 9 o'clock nt night till 11
ho made futile efforts to get past the
infantry pickets for the town was
thoroughly picketed , nnd all wcro on
the alert At length ho got down to
the river bank , but saw some distance
in front of him n sentinel upon its
verge. A daring idea then anizud him.
Potomac hero is very wide ,
but not deep in the summer or * the
early part of the autumn. It
was the night of the 12th of Septem
ber , 1802. Ho determined , with the
assistance of n short polo that had
come into his possession ( the river
bottom is full of stones and current
very rapid ) to wade out in the middle
of the stream and como to shore below -
low the pickets. Bonding over until
the water actually splashed into his
face , and stumbling over the rpckj
bed in such a way that ho often f caret
the noise of his boots upon the stonoi
would bo heard on shore , Bovera
times nearly losing his footing , urn ]
his oars bpwildorcd almost by the
noisy brawlinir ' of the rapid stream , he
yet ( succeeded' without being discov
ered in reaching the bank very near
the town , and just beneath the track
of the Baltimore and Ohio road.
Hero , almost exhausted , concealed by
the bank and alight railroad embank
inont , ho paused to rust and listen
before boldly venturing upon the
shore. Above him on the other uido
of the river , a gnat somber shadow ,
black as Erebus , except toward Iho
top , where camp-fires on the further
side faintly gleamed , the Maryland
Heights frowned down upon him.
Noises wcro all around him. The
Potomac vied with the Sheimndoah ,
which joins the former n fehort distance -
tanco beyond where ho crouched , in
murmurous music over its stony Lot
torn. Ho could hour the neighing o
horses , apparently from the dircotioi
of liolivur Hoiidits south of him. The
confused sounds in many infuntr ,
camps ot a great multitude wore a
vague , indistinguishable , and untrans
latublo as the murmuring voices of thi
waters.
A N.utuow escure ,
A night bird akinuned along tin
river , and , on suddenly seeing him
arose with a shriek , which to his excited
cited brain seemed like the desparin
cry of a lost eoul , It was a despcrat
venture ho was making. If caught
under the laws of warho was doomci
to swift and ignominious death * As ,
he gazed in deep thought up the tow
cring.stoops of Maryland Heights
suddenly on its top at the darki's
point a small but brilliant light np
pearod'c it trembled , was obscured
thrice gleamed out , and was darkened
then suddenly leaped into the bright
cat glow , and stood steadfast , clea
and beautiful as a now-born star frcsl
/rom the Jumds of God. It won
probably a signal light. " , Neverthe
lea * , " said ho , "in'somc unaccounta
ble way it gave mo strength ani
courage , And as all seemed quie
near me , I coolly walked up on the
railroad track. At first I thought no
one was near , but suddenly a littl
roint of light within a few fei-t struck
ny attention , It wns the light of a
ignr. The owner had his back to mo

Then ho heard mo. 'Whoro the cl 1

Ight , ciptain , if you pjoasoj I just
topped down there to light my pipe ,

nd repeated his question in n milder
ono. I had heard of n certain Colo-
10 ! Ford , who commanded nn Ohio
cgimont in the garrison , nnd ,
> y a happy inspiration , I an-
wercd that I wns nn orderly

ng man stepped forth from the door-
vay and greeted my companion , who
alutcd him ns 'Colonel. ' Ho gave
no a piercing glance and when I look-
d back he was looking steadily after
us. Presently ho called out , 'Lieu-
onant , como back heron minute' '
"Ho returned , nnd my heart almuit

" 'Yea , nnd make him show his

nt , nnd ho hastened to catch up with

orgivo mo and Colonel Ford , too , if

'but of all the lying that was over

Id inebriate that over furnished texts

pund a drinking place , and the jolly
ioutonant proved himself a worthy
ompanion for FnlstafF. When I first
mid for the drinks nnd n bottle of
yhisky , I again ran n narrow risk , for
I had nothing but confederate money
and gold , nnd the nso of gold then
lorth of the Potomac wus nearly ns
suspicious as confederate monoy. But
whilst I did not know the barkeeper ,

mo a reassuring glance , and ostenta
tiously laid out the greenback change

It would take too long to give all
the further details of the scout's ad
ventures. About 1 o'clock ho gave
his convivial friend the slip , mot in i

MISS PINNEO.
Interesting Interview With
the Champion Horse
woman.
A Ilaco ArrnnKO'lwithMrti. Bnrlco
at Omnbn in September-
Corropomlcncc ol The Ocm cr llcpubllcan.
"Miss Pinnco , " said n Republican
reporter who happened to bo in Oreo-
ley yesterday , and had called on the
young lady , "no doubt you realize
thnt you are , ns it were , the daughter
of the state of Colorado , nnd that the
pcoplo of the stale nro always deeply
interested in whatever they may hear
from you or of you. If you will grant
it. they would bo pleased to Know
what races you have in contemplation ,
with whom , upon uhat conditions ,
nnd whatever ether information con
cerning yourself you may bo willing
to give. "
Now , Miss Minnie fwas at homo in
a little parlor , cosy mid homelike ;
wasn't feeling very well ; just recover
ing from n protracted , but not serious
illness , which first came upon her
while in Lcadvillo attending her last
race. Notwithstanding this , she
kindly consented to talk a little.
"During the races nt Omaha , on
September ! t , I shall ride a ten-mile
race against Miss Nellie Burke of Ne
braska. I am not acquainted with
this lady , but have heard that she is
an excellent horse-woman , having
ridden several successful races. For
this race there will bo a piirso of
82,000 81,000 on n sido. At present
I am not nwnro that I shall ride any
other race this fall. My father is now
in the east , and may have made ar
rangements for others that I do not
know of. "
It will bo remembered that immedi
ately after the Pinnno-uurtis race in
Denver Miss Custis challenged Miss
Pinneo to ride her n rnco somewhere
in Kansas. Colorado's horsewoman
nccoptcd the challenge and n race was
then arranged for , to como oft'
some time during the fall on the To-
pokn race track. In answer ton ques
tion concerning this Miss Pinneo
snid :
"Tho time for this race has not yet
been agreed ujion. I am , however ,
willing nnd anxious to ride it whenev
er it may bo convenient to Misa Cur-
tic. It is possible my futhor will see
Miss Curtis or her friends while ho
is east , and that thoy'will agree upon
n time when wo shall meet on the
track at Toppka. "
Just hero in the conversation some
thing was said about rumors of ono
kind and another , when Miss Pinneo
became quito earnest and talked ns
though she meant what she wns say
ing."It
"It has boon ronorted , " continued
she , "that Miss Belle Cook , the well-
known California ! ! , has challenged mete
to ride n race with her , nnd thnt I
have not accepted. Tins is not truo.
I have myself n standing challenge to
Mias Cook to ride a race of ton or
more miles nt any time , at nny place
and for any sum of money within
reasonable limits. I have published
this , and * she has not BOOH fit to ac
cept. "
It is evident that Miss Pinnoo con
siders horaelt the best horsewoman in
the United States to-day , nnd will
only bo too glad to demonstrate this ,
upon any and every opportunity.
