of this fact, but forgot that there were fully as astute heads on our stile. The minute and able investigations of Major Whiting, Chief Engineer to Gen. Johnson, had satisfied our leaders of the justness of these views. It was well known that Gen. Scott's plan was to turn Harper's Ferry by a column from Pennsylvania, under Gen. Patterson, effect a junction near Winchester or Strasburg with another column of McClellan's army passing through Romney, and cut off Beauregard's and Johnson's armies t point and returned to Romney, making the march of thirty-six miles and gaining a brilliant victory within twenty hours. "Our readers will thus see what Gen. Johnson's 'retreat from Harper's Ferry' has done. It has thoroughly broken up General Scott's paper programme, destroyed his whole western combination, and compelled him to remodel his whole plan. If our ' retreats' do thus much, we wait with confidence to see what our advances will do. In the meantime, we beg leave to recall to ou

On arriving within a few miles of Winchester, the main column moved off towards Martinsburg in a northeasterly direction, stopping at a point called Bunker Hill. Here the entire force was drawn up in battle array, hourly expecting the advance line of the enemy. Our men were disappointed, and were marched down to this place, where they are now encamped. Gen. Scott has evidently been nonplussed by the movement at the Ferry, and has altered his plans accordingly. Don't believe the old General had an idea of the evacuation. He will find that General Johnston will trump every trick he undertakes. About three hundred of the Maryland Line, two nights back, made a flying visit to the Ferry. They have returned, and report having burned the rifle works, destroyed the Shenandoah Bridge, tumbled a locomotive into the Potomac, brought away 20,000 rifle
