From Harper's Ferry. A correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette writes from Harper's Ferry, May 7th. The news of the seizure of the Relay House by the Northern troops was received here yesterday. This part of the programme was somewhat unexpected. It was not thought that Lincoln would extend the limits of his military operations beyond Annapolis, until after the expiration of the 20 days of grace.

This part of the programme was somewhat unexpected. It was not thought that Lincoln would extend the limits of his military operations beyond Annapolis, until after the expiration of the 20 days of grace. Several persons arrived here last night from Baltimore. They give different accounts of the number of troops stationed at the Relay. But the majority concurred in saying that there were not less than 1,300. They say that their trunks were broken open at the Washington junction, their carpet-bags cut open, and their baggage generally subjected to a vigorous search. This is but a foretaste of the outrages upon private rights. From these Baltimorean, I learned that Maryland is confounded by the display of superior force, at present.

At this last point there were 5,000 troops stationed in a very strong position on the heights, with artillery commanding the railroad and the gorge leading to Harper's Ferry.

Our town is quiet, and the numbers gone to war have contributed to make it so. Business has dwindled down to an insignificant figure. Garland Dunn, a gentleman of high respectability, committed suicide by hanging on Thursday morning last, at his residence, at the foot of the mountain dividing Rockingham and Greene counties. He lived just inside of Greene county. He was near sixty years of age. Men from here are yet wending their way to Harper's Ferry. A large party go to-night, another to-morrow night, and another on Wednesday morning. Success to the brave, who defend their homes and firesides from a tyrannical invader. The vote on the Secession Ordinance will be a unit in this county. I have not heard of a single dissenting voice. The message of President Davis is highly commended here. Pen.
