lready occurred. All reports concur in the statement that the enemy, in heavy force, have crossed the Potomac at Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown, and that our own forces, under General Lee have taken up a strong position, in which to await the approach of the enemy.

Denies the relationship. --Captain John Brown, of the 20th Ohio Volunteers, captured by our army at Shepherdstown, and now a prisoner here, denies emphatically the relationship said to exist by several of the papers yesterday morning between himself and Old John Brown of Harper's Ferry. He never saw that ancient worthy, does not know his son, John Brown, Jr., and did not enter his regiment as a Captain, but was promoted from Lieutenant.
